2) Some of these are pretty standard. They're suggesting Coinbase and Ripple, probably based on my crypto connections, for Technology. But I don't think there's much _unusually_ trending about them -- it's probably just randomly selecting large crypto related things.

3) So I think it gets a B- on those: reasonable topics, but no actual reason I'd want to look up posts about Ripple today in particular, or news I'd be missing. FOMC is a good call -- topical and relevant to me!

4) Kanye is interesting. He's.... I guess _kinda_ newsy today? Does Twitter somehow know that I like Kanye? Does it have access to my Youtube listening habits? I legit don't know what access I've given it!

6) It has over half the population of The Bahamas, and most of the infrastructure. So, yeah, lots of people looking into The Bahamas might look at Nassau. But not only is it not particularly trending today -- I'd likely end up with Nassau news anyway! Most Bahamian news is.
