23andMe exodus, soul-eating photographer & a Tupperware zombie 👀🍿🧃

Hi Wrecklings!

This week has me thinking about the F1 Lizard (I love it).

• “Caroline Ellison sentenced to two years for role in FTX crypto fraud”- THAT’S IT????

• “‘Can AI sit there in a fleece vest?’: John Mulaney’s Salesforce roast was a masterclass in corporate comedy”- I’m still salty about how he left his ex but this is pretty funny.

• “WoW Player Loses 17 Years of Savings in Devastating AH Scam—What You Need to Know”- Despite not being, this is the most Web3 headline.

• Lots of lawsuits this week:

  • “Nintendo and Pokémon are suing Palworld maker Pocketpair”

  • “Anti-Defamation League sues Intel, its first-ever discrimination case against major American company”

  • “Federal Trade Commission sues largest drug middlemen for allegedly inflating insulin prices”

• “23andMe directors resign as the CEO of the genetic-testing company seeks to take it private”- Rough week for the company as it also just settled its data breach lawsuit for $30M.

• “Virginia school picture photographer loses job after allegedly asking young students, 'Can I eat your soul?'“- Um what. Wonder if actually real.

• “Cult classic shooter alienates passionate fanbase with sexist ‘Booba’ update”- My jaw literally. dropped. open.

• “Disney trips meant for homeless NYC students went to school employees' families”- People are genuinely awful.

• “Health warning over face-slap fighting”- This feels very Darwinism-at-work.

• “A Soprano Who Despises Encores Interrupts Her Co-Star’s”- UM OKAY DIVA.

• “Star political reporter Olivia Nuzzi on leave from New York magazine over alleged ‘sexting’ relationship with RFK Jr.”- Blowing up your professional life over this is… certainly… a choice.

• Not scandalous but interesting reads:

  • “Junk Food, High Art”

  • “Bulls escape rodeo in North Attleborough, all but 1 captured”

  • “Tupperware (the Brand) May Fail. Tupperware (the Word) Will Survive.”

• As a kid I was obsessed with the Titanic, as an adult it’s the Titan submarine:

  • “I went on a terrifying trip on the doomed Titan submarine and knew it was a timebomb and the CEO was a cowboy: One of the last passengers tells what it was really like underwater”

  • “‘I Told Him I’m Not Getting in It’: Former Titan Submersible Engineer Testifies”

  • “OceanGate’s ill-fated Titan sub relied on a hand-typed Excel spreadsheet”

• “What Caused the Outbreak of Mysterious Eye Injuries at a Recent Trump Rally? An Expert Weighs In”- Ouch.
