Hi Wrecklings! Happy spooky season! I’ve been watching the absolutely insane true crime docu-series Sins of Our Mother. Well worth a watch, even if you’re already familiar with the case.

Here are this week’s stories to check out, if you need a break from bucket bunny/lineman drama on TikTok.

A bit of sad media news: Per an email to staff this morning, Bloomberg is ending its free lunch program for employees. The company notes that it will "continue to have snacks and treats," and plans to roll out "more wholesome and exciting offerings" in the near future.

What I am hearing from multiple sources: Meta is rescinding intern offers, which offers were for 2023 start dates. This is a first in the history of the company as far as I'm aware.

  • ā€œThe Try Guys Try Explaining How They Fired Their Friendā€- The group did an excellent job addressing a difficult situation with gravitas and candor— A+ crisis comms and I truly empathize with the remaining guys.

  • ā€œKim Kardashian pays over $1 million to settle SEC charges linked to a crypto promo on her Instagramā€- This feels like the equivalent of me paying a parking ticket but sure, wow, well done setting an example!

  • ā€œA famous poker player alleges he was 'clearly cheated' in one of the biggest, most famous cash games in the USā€- I don’t know enough (ahem, anything) about poker to enjoy the full breadth of what happened here but if you’re into cards, worth checking out. Lie detectors might be involved in the follow-up investigation.

  • ā€œSwiss Court Orders Mass Slaughter Of Innocent Chocolate Bunniesā€- I hope by ā€œdestroyā€ they mean ā€œdonate to the hungryā€ or something.

  • ā€œNew 'Barney' Docuseries Exposes Dark Side of Kids Show: Death Threats, Drug Rumors and Intense Hatredā€- This trailer is going to give me nightmares— and seriously consider subscribing to Peacock so that I can keep watching Law & Order.

  • ā€œCompany Asked Employees to Bring Family, Pets to Office to Work Through Hurricane Ianā€- How dystopian! It’s like after Hurricane Sandy— colleagues and I still had to come into work and were instructed to wear winter clothes because ConEd turned off the heat because they were afraid that the broken crane dangling a block away from our office would collapse and cause gas explosions.

  • ā€œAn Apple executive is leaving the company after being filmed joking about fondling 'big-bre@sted women' in a viral TikTok videoā€- A good example of money not being able to buy class.

  • ā€œElon Musk’s Texts Shatter the Myth of the Tech Geniusā€- … and money can’t buy intelligence either.

  • ā€œTikTok's 'stay-at-home girlfriends' go viral displaying lives of luxury. They face mockery and are told they're anti-feminist — they disagree.ā€- Cool lifestyle but I’d be concerned about ✨transferable skills✨ if (ahem, when?) things went south here.

  • ā€œAretha Franklin Was Tracked By the FBI for 40 Years. Here’s What’s In Her Fileā€- Not surprisingly, a whole lotta nothing.

  • ā€œCelsius founder took out $10 million before pausing withdrawals and filing for bankruptcyā€- Conveniently a fact left out by all the press statements…

  • ā€œI Uncovered an Army of Fake Men on Hingeā€- Absolutely besides the point of this story, it quoted publicist Justine Sacco who has an interesting history in the world of online drama.

  • ā€œā€˜Are you a hommasexyuh?’: Itzpsyiconic is TikTok Live’s hilarious and bizarre rising starā€- Recognizing it’s maybe a sign I’m officially old/uncool/etc, this TikTok goes over my elderly millennial brain.

  • ā€œThe Tacky Weed Bodega Is Everywhere (for Now)ā€- Ok, I recently was offered a piece of a bodega chocolate bar and fortunately I thought to do some calculations before eating a square. Turns out the bar had 300mg of THC across 12 squares— which means I would have been on the moon if I’d eaten what I’d thought was a serving.
