• the ‘I never said I was perfect’ trending audio is the song of the summer straight from Love Island USA’s own Amaya Papaya

• the ‘wedding lineups’ trend is granting everyone’s wish at the tip of their fingertips

and don’t even get us started on…

• JD Vance memes getting tourists in trouble

• No one wants Bezos’ wedding in Venice–but he’s having the wedding there anyway
