Biden on Campaign: "Paying off your kids' student loan debt can feel overwhelming. We need a president who understands that"

Biden December 2021: Get ready for student loan payment!

🤔When running for president, Biden talked about forgiving a minimum of $10,000/person of federal student loans.

Well, that is about to end in February, when student loans are reactivated, and millions of people are about to catch hell, right before midterm elections when many folks already don't believe that the government cares about the middle class or education/communities.

👀The Maryland Zebra Saga: Two escaped zebras in Maryland have been caught, after four months on the run, officials say.

The pair, now safe and sound, were part of a trio that in late August got away from a large farm owned by Jerry Holly in Upper Marlboro, authorities said. One of the zebras died soon after the escape when it got caught in an illegal snare trap on a property near Holly’s farm.
Holly has been charged with animal cruelty with the charges related to the deceased zebra that was caught in the trap, and another dead zebra that was later discovered on the property.

CoinMarketCap squashed the dreams of crypto investors around on Tuesday when it explained in a tweet that the shocking jump in price of a variety of cryptocurrencies was due to “price issues” and wasn’t real. It’s currently unclear whether this was a security incident or simply a glitch.

It appears as though the price of every coin jumped by several orders of magnitude, with the price of a single Ethereum coin, for example, rising to more than $500 billion (Real price: Around $3,800.) Bitcoin, meanwhile, jumped to around $789 billion. That put Bitcoin’s market cap at somewhere between a quadrillion dollars and the Moon, making everyone triollonary!

👀 The new trailer of "Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore" barely mentions JK Rowling – who co-wrote and co-produced the new film.

The trailer starts with a caption saying "Warner Bros invites you", while previous films featured "J.K Rowling invites you".

Instead, the writer's name appears in a minor publishing note at the very end of the video.

📌 This change comes as Rowling has been targeted by transgender activists who have blasted the creator of the Harry Potter universe for her views.

📌 Rowling's stance on trans issues has previously been criticised by HP actors, including Rupert Grint, Emma Watson, Daniel Radcliffe, and Eddie Redmayne.
