✅  Top 3 Must-Post Trends

🧢 1. Cal Raleigh Makes History as First Catcher to Win Home Run Derby

What Happened:
Cal Raleigh of the Seattle Mariners became the first catcher — and first switch-hitter — to ever win the Home Run Derby in its 40-year history, doing so with an unforgettable family twist. With his father pitching and his 15-year-old brother catching, the moment became about far more than just towering homers: it was a love letter to baseball as family tradition. Raleigh clinched the title at Truist Park in Atlanta after an intense final round against Junior Caminero, walking away with $1M and MVP buzz going into tonight’s All-Star Game.

Why It’s Hot:
Family. Underdog energy. A milestone moment in MLB. It’s rare that a sports story hits all the emotional beats — making this a perfect conversation starter even for non-baseball audiences.

Post Idea:
🎥 TikTok/Instagram Reel: “The most heartwarming sports story of 2025” — overlay Derby footage with slow zoom on father & brother cheering. Caption: “The Raleighs won as a team.”

₿ 2. Bitcoin Smashes Through $120,000 for the First Time Ever

What Happened:
After weeks of speculation, Bitcoin surged past the $120K mark, peaking at $123,000 in early trading. This comes amid “Crypto Week” on Capitol Hill, where lawmakers are voting on bills like the GENIUS Act to regulate stablecoins. Meanwhile, institutional investors keep pouring money in, with BlackRock’s ETFs raking in $2.4B in just one week. Traders are hopeful about pro-crypto policies under the Trump administration, fueling this rocket ride.

Why It’s Hot:
When Bitcoin jumps, everyone talks. Whether you’re a believer, a skeptic, or just a meme lover, everyone has a take. FOMO is the emotion here.

🧸 3. Elmo’s X Account Hacked with Shocking Antisemitic Posts

What Happened:
In one of the more jarring juxtapositions of childhood innocence and online toxicity, Elmo’s verified X (formerly Twitter) account was hacked over the weekend. The attacker posted antisemitic and racist messages, even adopting Elmo’s signature third-person voice to spread hate before Sesame Workshop regained control. This comes at a sensitive time as hate speech and poor moderation have dogged X under Musk’s ownership. The contrast between the beloved red Muppet and the dark content made this a viral talking point.

Why It’s Hot:
Few icons are as universal as Elmo — so seeing him pulled into something so ugly hit people in a visceral, unsettling way.

Post Idea:
🎥 TikTok: POV: Explaining to your kids why Elmo was acting out online — humorous skit format.
