Tease: Coming up in ___________ minutes, winter weather continues to wreak havoc across the US  

Forecasts predict more ice and low temperatures ahead in the most affected states as winter weather continues to wreak havoc across the US. Texas, which very rarely gets this cold, has been hit especially hard. Frigid temperatures have heightened power demand and frozen energy sources, leaving millions in the dark and struggling to keep warm. Also, many cities and states have hit pause on vaccine efforts during the unprecedented storm. Because its hard to give people a vaccine that’s frozen solid. (Additional out) As 2021 continues to tell 2020 to ‘hold my beer.’  

Tease: In ___­­­­___ minutes, why this singer’s getting backlash for her topless pic  

Rihanna is facing accusations of cultural appropriation and religious insensitivity after she posted a topless image of herself wearing a pendant depicting Hindu god Ganesha. The photo she posted to Twitter and Instagram yesterday shows the singer in a pair of lavender satin boxers by her lingerie label, a bracelet, large pair of earrings and a neckless with a diamond-studded carving of the elephant-headed deity. Causing men everywhere to say, “She was wearing a neckless?” (Additional out) Because internet outrage is unaffected by the weather or a pandemic.  

Tease: Coming up at ­­­­­­­­­­­­_____, Biden’s vaccination deadline  

By the end of July, the US will have enough Covid-19 vaccine doses to vaccinate every single American. President Biden issued the new deadline during a CNN town hall last night. He added that he didn’t want to over-promise, but the nation could hope to return to normal by next Christmas. So only 10 and a half more months, if that’s over-promising I’d hate to see what under-promising looks like. (Additional Out) Hopefully someone’s sent the north pole some vaccine shots because I’m pretty confident Santa has pre-existing conditions.  

Tease: In _____ minutes, good news for this endangered species  

California condors at the Oregon Zoo have laid nine eggs, a much-needed boost for the endangered species. Poaching, lead poisoning and habitat destruction had already driven California condors to the brink of extinction before last summer’s wildfires threatened to devastate their recovering wild population. But now there’s hope with the critically endangered species adding 9 eggs to their numbers, which will hopefully turn into 9 new baby chicks. Apparently, humans aren’t the only ones having quarantine babies. (Additional out) Provided an intern doesn’t mistake them for regular eggs and turn them into an omelette.
