Anti-glasses influencer, Tonight Show exposed & another Fyre Fest 👀🍿🧃

Sep 13, 2023

Hi Wrecklings!

I’m so excited about this just-released book: Glossy: Ambition, Beauty, and the Inside Story of Emily Weiss’s Glossier.

“A Fashion Show at Anna Delvey’s House? Is That What It Takes?”- The privilege of this woman post-prison is insane.
“Grindr loses about half its workers after trying to make them come back to the office”- I’m surprised this didn’t spark a re-evaluation but ok.
“Attendee calls Blue Ridge Rock Festival ‘unacceptable’”- This is Fyre Fest-level disaster, omg.
''The Club Chalamet Blow-Up Proves There’s Something Deeply Wrong With Stan Culture''- This reminds me of the fandom that I did a deep-dive into last year and was a complete disaster.
''NJ students' Italy trip turns to nightmare''- Ooof, this is COLD.
''BMW Kills Its Craven $18 Subscription for Heated Seats''- Honestly I’m not shocked this failed
''What happened to the microfinance organization Kiva?''- Aww, this was so disappointing to read.
''Instagram influencer sentenced to 5 years in prison for using fraudulently obtained COVID-19 relief loans for luxury lifestyle, travel''- This is a crazy trend.
“A former San Francisco tech executive was charged with embezzling more than $2.7 million from his employer”- How is money like this not caught as suspiciously missing sooner?
''Anti-Glasses Influencer Samantha Lotus Makes Bizarre Claim She Can Fix Your Vision''- Cool, sounds legit!
“Drew Barrymore Announces Talk Show Return Amid Strikes, Says It Will Comply With WGA and SAG Strike Rules: ‘I Own This Choice’”- Shame! I liked her but this is lame.
''Social media star shamed for swimming in deadly cove: ‘Influencers will end up going extinct’''- Ooof, brutal quote.
''Host of TikTok show starring rats offers tours of NYC rat infestations''- WHY ARE PEOPLE GRABBING THEM??
''Elon Musk's X is suing California. Here's why.''- How does Elon wake up in the morning and decide what type of chaos to sow that day?
''Eat Just/GOOD Meat sued by 2nd engineering firm (CRB) for failing to pay its bills on time''- I can’t quite understand how $30M worth of work gets done without payment.
''Flexport CEO says he's rescinding job offer letters for candidates joining as soon as Monday: 'I have no ideas why more than 75 people were signed to join'''- I would be livid, omg.
''Charges filed against two New York men for Gen Con gaming cards theft''- I can’t imagine what their plan was to offload these cards without getting caught.
''Avant Gardner owners were behind Electric Zoo fiasco, Mayor Adams promises response''- Ohhh I’d be mad mad.
''Chaos, Comedy, and ‘Crying Rooms’: Inside Jimmy Fallon’s ‘Tonight Show’''- This sounds absolutely atrocious.
''Who Pulled Off a $41M Online Casino Heist? North Korea, FBI Says.''- Sometimes when I’m having a bad day, I think to myself that I could be the CEO of one of these companies when something like this happens.
