✅ Top 3 Must-Post Trends
🕷️ 1. Tom Holland’s Brand New Day Suit Reveal

Spidey.. over here! What are you looking at?
Tom Holland’s new Spider-Man suit is out, and it’s giving classic comic vibes. Dropped on Spider-Man Day, the “Brand New Day” costume features bold red and blue hues, pronounced webbing à la Tobey Maguire, and a bigger, blockier spider emblem across the chest. The visual throwback is hitting Marvel fans right in the nostalgia.
The movie, directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, officially kicks off a fresh continuity post–No Way Home’s memory wipe. Filming is underway in Glasgow and includes cameos from Mark Ruffalo’s Hulk and Jon Bernthal’s Punisher. Fans are already analyzing stills and speculating about the multiverse implications of the new look.
With the movie slated for a July 31, 2026 release, the timing of the suit drop is designed for maximum hype. Pair that with production leaks and it’s no wonder #SpiderManBrandNewDay is crawling through every feed.

🏛️ 2. Trump vs. Schumer: The “Go To Hell” Showdown

These guys can point!
Things got scorched earth in D.C. after President Trump’s Truth Social outburst targeting Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer: “GO TO HELL!” This came after breakdowns in nominee deal talks, with Trump accusing Schumer of demanding $1B in political favors.
Senate talks collapsed just before the August recess, and Trump told Republicans to stop negotiating. Schumer responded at midnight, calling Trump’s behavior “an embarrassment to the office”.
Now both parties are pointing fingers while the nomination backlog remains. The internet, meanwhile, has turned this into a meme war.
🎯 Why this is hot:
It’s rare to get a villain-hero narrative this clean—and this memeable.

Olivia Rodrigo stunned Lollapalooza-goers by bringing out Weezer to perform “Buddy Holly” and “Say It Ain’t So.” The move created an emotional loop—Rodrigo told fans Weezer was the first band she ever saw live.
Rivers Cuomo joined her on stage in a crowd-pleasing crossover. This isn’t her first rock collab—she’s previously sung with Robert Smith and David Byrne. But this one hit different, as TikTok flooded with emotional reactions from multiple age groups.
The performance went viral instantly, fusing Gen Z with millennial and Gen X nostalgia. Olivia may have unlocked the secret to cross-generational internet dominance.
🎯 Why this is hot:
Wholesome surprise + big name nostalgia = pure internet gold.

Learn from this investor’s $100m mistake
In 2010, a Grammy-winning artist passed on investing $200K in an emerging real estate disruptor. That stake could be worth $100+ million today.
One year later, another real estate disruptor, Zillow, went public. This time, everyday investors had regrets, missing pre-IPO gains.
Now, a new real estate innovator, Pacaso – founded by a former Zillow exec – is disrupting a $1.3T market. And unlike the others, you can invest in Pacaso as a private company.
Pacaso’s co-ownership model has generated $1B+ in luxury home sales and service fees, earned $110M+ in gross profits to date, and received backing from the same VCs behind Uber, Venmo, and eBay. They even reserved the Nasdaq ticker PCSO.
