This week, as a lot of people across the world, breathed a collective sigh of relief as Joe Biden and Kamala Harris take oath as the President and Vice President of the United States, and as Alibaba’s Jack Ma appears in public after months of speculation around his whereabouts.


Many people flocked to social media to express their delight. And many others did what the internet does best — make memes.

Bernie Sanders meme

Even as Biden and Harris made history, it was US Senator Bernie Sanders with his colourful and very practical mittens — made by a teacher in Vermont — that stole the show.


Jack Ma's return on Wednesday not only quelled rumours about his well-being but also helped Alibaba's stock price to climb over four percent in US trading. He had appeared on a live stream to address rural teachers in an online event.
