Volv Concierge #51
š 9/11 used to be off-limits. Now it is a #1 meme.
Hey fam!
Priyanka here, Iāve been bustling in NYC this week, filled with exciting events and meetings with media execs. Two standout moments so far:
Shannon and I spoke at the Fintech is Femme Creator Summit on Monday. We connected with so many incredible creators who are thrilled about publishing on Volv (and our cool merch too!) If you're interested in publishing on Volv, join this waitlist!
Iāve been meeting with legacy media executives to bridge the gap between traditional media and our generation. I had an inspiring meeting with the MD of Mirror and even got a tour of the AP newsroom, which was amazing, especially on the day of the debate!
Iāll be here for a few more days before heading back to London, so if thereās someone I should meet, please lmk!
Since everyone is still digesting and talking about last nightā¦
šļø Here's everything you need to know about Trump and Harrisā first (and likely their last) face-off
"Israel won't exist:ā Trump claims Harrisā presidency would lead to Israelās downfall within two years, adding that she dislikes Israel and Arabs.
Trump falsely claims Haitian immigrants are eating their pet cats and dogs. While weāre on the subject of conspiracy theories, Harrisā earrings also got some attention for being earpieces.
He claimed he wonāt sign a national abortion ban and accused Harris of supporting transgender surgeries for undocumented immigrants in prison, stirring online controversy.
Harris taking down Trumpās history of racism was a big moment. She also brought up his extensive criminal history.
Her unemployment stat about Trump gets fact-checked.
Of course, there was an exchange about āsize.ā Trump objected to lectern size adjustments to not appear similar in size to Harris. He also defended the size of his rallies after Harris called them ācrazyā and fictional.
The āafterpartyā was not pretty for Trump, who faced backlash for his debate performance (a website with his "weirdest quotes" has also cropped up). The markets seem to award victory to Kamala Harris, who also gained in prediction markets. Taylor Swiftāarguably the biggest celebrity of our timeāalso officially endorsed her.
