‘SNL’ Weekend Update talks about Ye’s latest Instagram suspension, Twitter, and more

In this week’s edition of the SNL‘s Weekend Update, hosts Colin Jost and Michael Che kick off the show with Biden’s plea warning that possible election denial by Republicans will set the nation on a path of chaos. “Wait so this is just the path to chaos,” Jost asks. “I thought we’ve been living in chaos for at least six years.”
In other news, Che and Jost quipped about Donanld Trump Jr. using his dirty, oversized underwear to mock Paul Pelosi and briefly covered the addition of 200,000+ jobs. “We’ll see about that said Elon Musk,” Jost said.
Worst yet though, it seems Che must’ve given Jost his jokes again saying that a Fox News segment on the upcoming New York Marathon will read “Undocumented Africans run wild in streets of New York.” We hope they swapped scripts.
Meta is testing a way to mint and sell NFTs on Instagram

Meta has announced that it’s testing minting and selling NFTs on Instagram, like you can with many traditional NFT marketplaces, with a “small group of creators in the US” getting access to the feature first. The company’s also expanding Instagram’s NFT showcase feature, which it recently made available to users in over 100 countries. The announcement comes among news of several new ways for creators to make money on its platforms.
Meta says its digital collectibles toolkit will let people create NFTs on the Polygon blockchain (as always, no relation to Polygon the video game news outlet) and then sell them either on Instagram or off the platform. When it comes to displaying NFTs that you’ve purchased elsewhere, the company says you can…
Meta will allow creators to sell NFTs directly on Instagram
Meta is expanding its support for NFTs in a major way. The company is now allowing some creators to make and sell digital collectibles directly on Instagram, Meta announced during its Creator Week event.
The platform has been experimenting with NFTs on Instagram and Facebook since last year. But up until now, Instagram users have only been able to show off their digital collectibles. Now, Instagram will have an “end-to-end toolkit” so creators can make NFT collections and sell them to their fans and followers.
While Instagram has been ramping up commerce features for creatures for some time, this update is the first time Instagram has tried to compete directly with existing NFT marketplaces. Meta says it won’t take a cut of NFT sales until 2024, though 30 percent will be deducted from sales to account for app store fees. Creators can also set a commission rate for resales of their work, ranging from 5% to 25%.
The new tools are only available to a “small group” of creators in the United States for now, but Meta says it plans to expand to more people and countries “soon.” But the company is updating other NFT features that are more widely available. For collectors, Meta is adding support for the Solana blockchain and Phantom wallet, and enabling video NFTs in Instagram profiles. The app is also adding OpenSea metadata for “select collections.”
The expansion of NFTs on Instagram is part of a broader push by Meta to increase money-making features for the creators in its apps. The company is also expanding Instagram’s subscriptions, and “professional mode” for Facebook. Meta is also bringing Facebook Stars to more places, including photo and text posts, and adding in-app gifting to Reels on Instagram.
Update 7PM ET: Updated with details on Meta’s commission plans for NFT sales.

Instagram won’t make an iPad app, but its web interface is getting better
![Screenshot of the new Instagram for web design, which features a sidebar navigation scheme.](https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/MbDbM6XThbvmpyAoDmXysxLpY3s=/0x0:1798x1199/1310x873/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/71571868/Screen_Shot_2022_11_01_at_3.28.32_PM.0.png)
Instagram’s CEO has made it clear that an iPad app isn’t a huge priority for the company, but it is at least doing something to make the big-screen experience better. Some people, including a few members of The Verge’s staff, have started noticing a slightly redesigned version of Instagram for the web, which features a navigation sidebar with links to pages like search, explore, messages, and notifications instead of having those as unlabeled buttons at the top.
The design is relatively similar to how Twitter is laid out and definitely seems more at home on a bigger screen — you get more info about what the buttons are and what they do, and the options to access settings, your saved posts, or the ability to switch accounts have been…
