Donald Trump launches platform to work around his Twitter ban

May 5 2021

After being banned off of social media platforms, former US President Donald Trump has launched his new communications platform in order to work around his banning. ‘From The Desk of Donald J. Trump’ has just been launched, giving the 74-year-old ex-president the space to say anything he wants. There is a catch however – the platform allows subscribers to share his posts on Twitter, Facebook and other social media platforms.

Users will not be able to comment or react to the posts on his blog but they are able to share them around. Trump branded his new ‘From the Desk’ as a ‘beacon of freedom’ during a ‘time of lies and silence.’ It is unclear whether Facebook or Twitter will allow users to continue sharing his blogs, but the launch comes in the same week as Facebook’s Oversight Board was set to announce whether to keep Trump off the platforms.

World renowned restaurant Eleven Madison Park is going vegan

May 5 2021

The three-Michelin-star New York restaurant Eleven Madison Park will make its grand reopening after more than a year by going plant-based. Most of the dishes it became known for, such as its iconic roasted duck with daikon and plum, will no longer be available on the menu. This will make the restaurant one of the first ever high-profile eateries to go vegan, with chef and owner Daniel Humm stating that he is immensely excited to share the decision of turning towards a plant-based menu.

Vegetarianism and veganism seem to be no longer fringe diets as more and more restaurants are seemingly making the shift. Humm stated in an interview that ‘the way people eat meat is not sustainable’. Acknowledging the risk this moves entails, Humm believes the decision is worth it as he aims to ‘redefine luxury as an experience that serves a higher purpose and maintains a genuine connection to the community.’
