Trump’s 2024 Win: A Slow Growing Economy

The 2024 U.S. presidential election ended with Donald Trump returning to the White House after a tense, stop‑start campaign and a closer‑than‑expected election night map. Networks called the race only after key Midwestern and Sun Belt states finished counting late‑arriving and provisional ballots, turning what had looked like a narrow path into a clear Electoral College win for the former president. The result immediately reset the 2025 political calendar. Trump’s second administration arrived

Labubu, Moo Deng, and the New Life of Mascots Online

Labubu and Moo Deng do not obviously belong together, but they end up in the same place: keeping people watching. One is a sharp‑toothed designer toy from Pop Mart’s blind box machines, the other is a baby pygmy hippo at a Thai zoo whose bath videos travel across feeds in minutes. They sit in different corners of the world—Chinese collectibles and a local animal attraction—but live in the same part of the internet, where niche interests become global habits very quickly.

Tame Impala’s ‘Dracula’ Is a Song for the Night People

“Dracula” isn’t just a mood piece; it is quietly becoming a TikTok song. A review from Euphoria, Tame Impala – ‘Dracula’, notes how the track’s nocturnal imagery and rubbery bassline make it feel instantly loop‑able, and TikTok has picked that up with dance and skit trends built around the hook. In those clips, users lean into the “run from the sun like Dracula” line as a joke about hating mornings or real life, which fits the song’s story of only feeling fully yourself after dark.

Britain at a Turning Point: Starmer’s 2026 Promise

Keir Starmer is trying to start 2026 by promising that Britain is finally about to “turn a corner,” telling voters this should be the year when talk of national renewal turns into something they can actually feel when they open a bill. On a New Year visit to a community centre in Reading, he pointed to a freeze on rail fares “for the first time in 30 years,” a £150 cut to energy bills and expanded free childcare as the kinds of changes that might make that promise real.
