Mi Pan Su Su Sum

Mi pan su su sum, su su sum. If you're not on TikTok, you probably have no idea what that jumble of letters means. If you ARE, then you've had the pleasure of watching this lil mama llama do her thing, racking up over 92M views on the platform. Luckily for us, Insider did a deep dive on the audio that took the internet by storm, and found out that the weird sound originated from a Russian cereal commercial. 

The competition between social media platforms has heated up recently. This past week, Facebook launched a rival platform to TikTkok – Instagram Reels (examples of this content here and here). According to WSJ, Instagram is also attempting to steal TikTok’s talent by offering to pay some TikTok creators to use the new short-form video platform. Snapchat is also taking a page from TikTok’s book, and has secured music licensing deals in order to allow its users to add music to videos. 

The new ultimate profile picture: a selfie in space. Commercial space flight company Virgin Galactic announced that cell phones will not be allowed on board the spaceships taking tourists to space. The around 600 people that have bought tickets for the flights (spending up to $250,000 a ticket !!) won’t walk away without some selfies, though. 16 cameras are installed throughout the cabin and two more outside will record video and take still photos throughout the flight. 

Ever wondered what celebs tip on a burger with fries? Erica Smolcynski is spilling the tea on the many celebrities that she’s served as a waitress in LA, from who’s a fat tipper to who ordered the weirdest meal (looking at you Shia Lebouf). Genuinely could watch her videos for days.

As if Dua Lipa’s Future Nostalgia album wasn’t enough of a bop - she’s now releasing a remix of it featuring the biggest icons of the 90’s. Oh snap! booyah!  Madonna, Missy Elliott, Gwen Stefani & more will be featured! 

On repeat this weekend: WAP - Cardi B & Megan Thee Stallion. And that album artwork...😍
