Hi I'm back

Influencers, Abcde, a huge cow and more. The www newsletter is here in your inbox again

Hello Everyone!

 

This is the newest edition of What's Going On On the World Wide Web newsletter. 


Sorry we have been MIA here for the past many many months but we are back and hope to get you some of the most talked about things on the internet.

PS. I'm Samir and I run an Instagram and Twitter account called @kalesalad, perhaps you follow it?

I am pretty new to this newsletter world so please feel free to reply and let me know what you love or don't love about the newsletters, in addition to sending me your ideas and cool internet things to be included in future editions!

ALSO, I was thinking I'll break things out in some categories, including favorite memes, hot memes, interesting news, cool accounts to follow, and showcasing some of the cool things they all make and more. What other types of things would you like to see? Let me know!

So without further ADEW hereeee we go.

 

Stories You Should Know

  • We love influencers, right? Well Payless trolled a bunch of people by creating a fake luxury boutique called "Palessi" (sound familiar?) and charged them between $200-$600 for shoes that they normally charge between $20-$40. A+ troll.
  • A 5-year-old girl named "Abcde" was mocked by Southwest Airlines before boarding, which the company has since apologized for. (That's pronounced "Ab-City" btw)
  • As my old man George McFly used to say, "If you put your mind to it you can accomplish anything," which is exactly what happened when this woman tweeted a fake photoshop about meeting Michael B Jordan last week and then actually met him on on Thursday. 
  • As my old man George McFly used to say, "You think you know cows but you've never seen how big this cow is," and you know, he was right this is a huge freaking cow and everyone was talking about. 
 

Something to watch

If you never saw Ryan Shocket eat fruit for the first time EVER back in March you need to catch up because this week he ate vegetables for the first time ever and it was as glorious as the first time. Watch Ryan here

For your group chat

United’s CEO Gives Up His First Class Seat to an Elderly Nervous Flyer

The passenger sharing the story, who describes herself as a loyal Delta customer and who was seated behind the woman in what was supposed to be Oscar Munoz's seat, says this may have converted her into a lifelong United customer. And that, by the way, is how you win business -- authentically, one customer at a time.

Europe Business Class From Just 30,500 Points With Chase, Amex or Citi Points

New variable Air France KLM Flying Blue points pricing is live and often makes no sense. Some awards are more expensive, some less expensive. Instead of a hidden award chart they have a calculator.

But they still offer various routes at 25% or 50% off each month and new ones are up for booking in December and travel in February and March.

Air France Expected to Shut Down Joon, Apologize to Millennials

It's been a year since Air France started service under the 'Joon' brand. There are various reports that Air France is either considering killing Joon, or has already made a decision to do so. Getting rid of it could reduce complexity and serve as a bargaining chip with the carrier's pilots.

Pretending that it's really a different brand for millennials was just silly. It was created by consultants who think millennial means "no money, doesn't care about comfort, and is into marketing buzz."

Chase’s Expanded 5/24 Rules are a Bad Idea, Here’s How They Affect What Card You Should Get

I was the first person to report over the summer that Chase would be expanding their 5/24 rule. Chase doesn't approve most applicants for their cards who have opened 5 or more new credit card accounts in the previous 24 months. This is too blunt of an instrument.
