Gender Change, Tomioka
Plus: Twitter's Legacy Blue Ticks, Imgur's Tumblr Moment
Hi everyone,
Friday’s come around again! Some local news got me shook when I saw that some thieves stole $15m worth of gold at my good ol’ local airport, the Toronto Pearson?? 😱
It’s cemented to be one of the largest heists in the history of Canada, joining the likes of the Great Canadian Maple Syrup Heist - when 3,000 tonnes of syrup valued at $18.7m were stolen from a storage facility in Quebec.
Jesus. I can’t think of anything more Canada-ified villainy than stealing a bunch of f*cking maple syrup.
Anyways.. we’re going to take a break on the AI breakthroughs and go back to our roots: viral trends of the week 👇
💁♂️🙋🏻♀️ Gender change
It’s another AI filter trend on TikTok! This time, it’s all about seeing what you would look like as the opposite gender 😂

Bonus points of going viral if you look hot in the aftermath.
🎶 Tomioka is the song of the summer!!
.. or at least that’s what TikTok thinks. This song is going viral for good reasons - it has a fun dance and the song’s catchy.
@jayeazywhat Tomioka Still The Song Of The Summer ‼️
@brycehall Musically stars hop on this trend
The artist Jay Eazy is proof that consistency and dedication are key. He’s averaging 3 posts a day for the last 2 years on his songs 🤯
