If you didn't see it, a massive ship got stuck in the Suez Canal for a week and the internet went crazy over it. After being stuck for almost a week, the cargo ship was finally freed on a Monday morning, but not before hundreds of memes were created surrounding it. The 220,000-ton cargo container got stuck in one of the busiest waterways in the world when it was knocked off course by heavy winds and a dust storm, causing the ship, which is almost as long as the Empire State Building is tall, to be stuck in the canal. The ship stopping traffic in the waterway was said to have cost $400 million in trade every hour it was stuck. Humanity is funny! The stuck ship memes were almost more outrageous than the problems the ship caused. Example memes such as the boat being labeled "all my issues" compared to the small crane as "an iced coffee." Then the memes got into "at least your issues aren't...we can see them from space bad," followed by a satellite image of the ship blocking the canal. When news hit of the ship being moved, users wrote and asked for it to be put back so that the entertainment it brought the internet wouldn't have to end so quickly. Crazy, we know! If you are having a bad day, you can reflect and think, well, at least you weren't the captain of the stuck ship in a canal costing millions in trade. It really could be worse...Suez Canal worse.

Fans, will we finally be getting a new song from Rihanna? Rihanna took to her Instagram to celebrate women's history month. She also celebrated the fact that her album ANTI has been on the Billboard 200 for five years. The post also showed Rihanna celebrating her identity as a black woman, giving hope to aspiring artists. Bravo! So, why do fans think this means a new song? Well, one fan commented on the post saying that Rihanna should "celebrate by releasing a song," then the artist responded to the comment saying, "I think I should soon," followed up with, "Just one tho, lol." Rihanna fans are now going crazy and are extremely excited at this news from the artist herself. It's been years since she's had a new release. However, Rihanna hasn't been sitting on her laurels; she's been focused on her Fenty Beauty company. Rihanna has entered not only the beauty industry but fashion as well, with her combined companies valued at over $1 billion. Based on her comment post, it looks like she hasn't forgotten her music fans, and we couldn't be more excited and, shall we say hopeful.

📷 Image Credit: Morning Brew 👆By: Phoebe Bain TL;DR Instagram and Snapchat are copying the Duet feature from TikTok. Last week both Instagram and Snapchat announced that they would come out with a feature TikTok offers. You might recognize it as the "Duet" feature. If you are not on TikTok and not familiar with duets, it is a feature that allows users to make a video in response to other user's videos having theirs next to it. This is a very popular feature on the TikTok app, so it's really no surprise that these other apps are following suit and implementing it as well. In fact, Instagram has reportedly been working on the feature since TikTok launched the duet feature. Instagram's Duet version will be called "Remix this Reel." Snapchat's feature will be available in Snapchat's response tools option on the app rather than available on the homepage of the app, calling it "Remix Snap." Currently, these features are being live-tested with selected users on both apps. This really is just another compliment to the designers of TikTok. Instagram and Snapchat are doing what they can to keep up. Sources:Morning Brew Written by: Sofia Christensen, Intern Edited by: Lisa Knight, COO & Mentor

If you aren't ready to commit to watching just yet, YouTube is offering the first episode for free. If you aren't sure who or what SpongeBob is, then like Patrick, you have been living under a rock for the past two decades. Spongebob, as we all know, is primarily a kid's cartoon that aired on Nickelodeon in 1999 and kept producing new episodes into 2018. The new series Camp Koral: SpongeBob's Under Years is a spin-off of the show featuring SpongeBob and all the other characters you know from when they were younger. The show is available on Paramount+, but like a trailer, the first episode in the 13-show series is available for free on YouTube. You have time to decide if the monthly subscription of $5.99 is worth it. The SpongeBob episodes feature SpongeBob at camp trying to catch his first JellyFish and Squidward as a camp counselor for all of SpongeBob's friends. Camp Koral: SpongeBob's Under Years will bring nostalgia to those who love it. The creators hope to gain a wider audience by targeting to the even younger audience, gen alpha. Hopefully, they will fall in love with the show just like past generations have. Sources:Screen Rant Written by: Sofia Christensen, Intern Edited by: Lisa Knight, COO & Mentor

📷 Image Credit: CNN 👆By: Rishi Iyengar TL;DR NFTs are trending in the market with a chance for HUGE profits. This piece pictured above sold for $69.3 million. Digital artwork that took 13 years to make sold for $69.3 Million. NFTs (Nonfungable Tokens) have made recent headlines. NFTs are starting to sell for vast amounts of money for what appears to be digital art and other digital objects. What is it? NFT art is digital art that has been verified using blockchain technology. The technology ensures that the piece is a one-of-a-kind original artwork that can be authenticated online. Digital artwork isn't the only kind of NFT. Tweets are up for sale as NFT, as well as trading cards and other items how it works. By turning items into NFTs, the owner can use blockchain technology to make money every time the NFT is copied or traceably sent. Using blockchain technology, the pieces have proof of authenticity and originality. NFTs are not new. What is new is that the general population sees NFTs as a potential mainstream income-producing avenue. The process of acquiring NFTs is still a bit tricky, requiring cryptocurrency, of which you will need multiple apps to download. The value of these NFT pieces is in the cryptocurrency that backs them, which are very technical, typically created using python coding language, taking a lot of skill and mastery to create. Overall we aren't sure if this is the beginning of a big revolution with NFTs being used in cryptocurrencies or if this is just another fad in the world of crypto. Time will tell.
