In the Clurb We All Fam
10/11: Basketball evolved, the Fat Bear winner got revenge, a new holiday spirit, fam in the clurb, burgers under the sea, every tomato grown, tea with tea, digital detoxes, and more.
A bit of the internet:
Okaymon | One of the coolest projects to hit our feeds this week is Okaymon—a unique blend of math, art and music, inspired by a love for both the NBA and Pokémon. The project reimagines 17 Pokémon types as basketball play styles, with attributes like HP or Speed transformed into skills like Inside D or Perimeter O. Using data from the last 7 NBA seasons, players are matched to these play styles and then paired with their Pokémon counterparts. We can’t wait to see this project evolve! (Yes we had to throw in a Pokémon reference)
Another Viral Drink | You know when Gordon Ramsay is a part of the conversation, we must talk about it. Dua Lipa created chaos this week on social media as she sipped on her soda, pickles, and jalape?o concoction. People all over started trying this combination, even the highly critical Gordon Ramsay. Are you going to try this chaotic beverage and give your taste buds a challenge?
Where My Broads At? | Arguably one of the most notable lines, "in the clurb, we all fam", from Comedy Central's Broad City is seeing a resurgence on TikTok.

Will there be clotted cream served? | TikTok's "Afternoon Tea" drama is brewing, and it’s all thanks to the Queen of Afternoon Tea, a user known for her charming granny voice filter and no-nonsense reviews of tea rooms. In her latest review, she visited a tea spot that, in her signature style, she deemed mostly “bad.” The tearoom owner clapped back with a video, but users weren’t having it – most sided with the Queen, pointing out that bad service deserved the harsh critique. Now, TikTokers everywhere are getting in on the action, rating their own tea experiences or humorously reenacting the Queen’s famous catchphrases. It's clear: two scones per person and clotted cream are the gold standard for a proper tea session! ??

What brands are up to:
Winning the wake-up game | Nintendo announced that they're releasing an alarm clock 'Alarmo' that wakes you up using the iconic sounds from the famous video games.

This could be a great way to remove the habit of reaching for your phone right when you wake up, creating less of a reliance on our cell phones.
