Nov 8, 2023

Hi Wrecklings!

Hope this finds you all cozy-comfy post-daylight savings, I already miss sunlight:

“More Than 20 Report Burning Eyes After NFT Festival in Hong Kong”- Bored Apes are not having a good week.
“Tyson Foods recalls nearly 30,000 pounds of its dinosaur-shaped nuggets”- Yikes, that’s so many nuggets.
“Over 220 pounds of drugs, including fentanyl shaped like Valentine's Day candy, seized in Lynn”- Lynn, Lynn, city of sin.
“‘Lifelong dream’: Mass. man gives out Market Basket chickens to trick-or-treaters on Halloween”- I love seeing people live their dreams.
“Brooklyn-based Revel to shut down its moped business”- I was always surprised these were available in the city— such chaos.
''How a TikTok Food Critic Accidentally Caused Chaos in Atlanta’s Restaurant Scene''- This reminds me of the time a friend wanted to go to brunch somewhere in the LES and the wait was 2.5 hours. No pancakes are that good.
''Why people turned against the YouTuber who came forward and criticized MrBeast''- Extreme hide-and-seek is so dramatic.
''Soon you’ll be able to safely microwave Cup Noodles (you weren’t doing that, right?)''- “Cup Noodles have always been microwavable” feels like a Mandela effect.

''They Cracked the Code to a Locked USB Drive Worth $235 Million in Bitcoin. Then It Got Weird''- Feel like I would have left more than just 2 guesses but ok.
''Mozi malware botnet goes dark after mysterious use of kill-switch''- Spookyy.
''Elon Musk’s X Has Started Selling Off Old Twitter Handles For Upwards Of $50,000''- How anyone ever/still believes he’s a good businessman is so misguided.
RIP to 12Ft Ladder, one of The Wreck List’s favorite tools-
''‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ Screenwriter Settles Profits Lawsuit Over Alleged Bait-and-Switch''- I’m completely lost in the mathing here.
''Flight attendants who blamed uniforms for their health issues win a lawsuit against clothing company''- I’m confused about what outfits they were allowed to buy at Macy’s or JCPenney.
''Major landlords, RealPage sued in DC for alleged rent-fixing scheme''- Everything about the housing market is the worst.
''Scene from a horror movie': Airbnb is sued after a Michigan rental dubbed 'The Castle' was allegedly infested with bats''- This. Is. My. Worst. Nightmare.
