$60k seafood snafu, Ephemeral Tattoos permanent problems & goodbye to DTC retainers 👀🍿🧃
Hi Wrecklings!
This week has me binging Love Has Won- The Cult of Mother God which is literally one of the most insane documentary series I’ve ever watched…ever.
''What Happened To Ephemeral Tattoo & Their “Disappearing” Ink?''- Wow, the subjects in this article are
''An Influencer Ended Up With $60,000 of Shrimp and Squid at Lunch, and It's Kind of Her Fault''- Luckily 9,990 orders of shrimp paste raised some red flags in the kitchen.
“Tech startups are dropping like flies”- I feel like the advice to build an AI is lining up the new generation of failed startups but mmkay.
''Terra Luna Founder Do Kwon to be Extradited to the United States''- This trial will be fascinating (if he doesn’t suddenly vanish).
“Billion-Dollar Startup FabFitFun Faces Revolt Over Pro-Musk Ad”- Cute how they only regret their “marketing test” when it goes extremely poorly.
''SmileDirectClub Shuts Down After Filing for Bankruptcy''- Love that they’re shutting down but insisting people keep paying them.
''Dubious Crypto Ads Plague X Despite Official Policy and Elon Musk’s Advertiser Crisis''- Which also feels extremely on-brand, all things considered.
“The Strangest Toy on Wish Lists This Year”- No scandal, but an entertainingly weird read.
''We all make mistakes': Disney influencer drops phone in wishing well''- EVERYBODY MAKES MISTAKES, EVERYBODY HAS THOSE DAYS… ikyky.
''California moving company that touts its young, fit staff sued by feds for age discrimination: ‘No idea we were doing anything wrong’''- Things like this always make me think of the Hooters loophole.
''Lil Durk Sued for ‘Fraud’ by Startup Claiming He Granted Song Rights to Two Different Companies''- This feels like an instance of “he didn’t read the fine print carefully.”
''Netflix, Adam McKay Sued for Copyright Infringement Over ‘Don’t Look Up’''- It does sound suspicious…
