Hi Wrecklings! Are you or anyone you know interested in PR/marketing and looking to snag a paid internship or side gig? We’re looking for some help to get the word out about The Wreck List to get in the inboxes of more fellow lovers of 🗑️🔥 . Know of someone? Have them email Hello@TheWreckList.com or DM us on Instagram.

• “Martha Stewart Reveals She Wishes Some of Her Friends Would Die So She Could Marry Their Husbands: ‘Not Painfully, but Just Die!’”- Well. There are always things you never think to include as “things not to say” when media training a client. But I’d like to think Martha’s just having a blast trolling us all.

• “Former Theranos COO is guilty of federal fraud”- About time.

• “How a fake job offer took down the world’s most popular crypto game”- I feel *so* badly for this engineer.

• “Internet enamored by a 14-year-old’s captivating 'I Voted' sticker in county contest”- This kid is my hero and I desperately wish I were a registered voter in Ulster county.

• “What Happens To Christian Influencers When They Get Married?”- This article delves into further detail than simply stating that the content gets cringey.

• “The Anna Delvey Industrial Complex — and me”- Huh. This piece is… fascinating… particularly the reporter’s editorialization (“...I have direct access to her that almost no one else has, which renders Sorokin's PR team pretty much useless to me (Sorry, Juda). When some past members of her team tried to ward me off from writing stories, so they could sell them to less scrupulous tabloids, I simply ignored them and spoke to Sorokin anyway, supplementing what she told me with court records and interviews with other people involved.” 🤷‍♀️ This piece comes on the heels of an article earlier this month that claims Anna’s former lawyer is refusing to turn the court file over to the new lawyer- resulting in a delay in the process.

• “TikTok is full of shady secret advertisements”- I’d say the “if something is free, you are the product,” should be clearly understood in relation to TikTok’s platform.

• “BMW starts selling heated seat subscriptions for $18 a month”- A luxury car brand is gating a vehicles’ features behind a paywall? Gross. Hard pass.

• “American Pie, the Mormon version: Jets QB Zach Wilson and girlfriend split over claims he slept with his MOM'S best friend as she reveals she is now dating his ex-Brigham Young roommate, Commanders wide receiver Dax Milne”- This is a need-to-make-a-chart-to-follow-the-drama level of messy. But for those of y’all that can follow along, I’m sure it’s worth it.

• “Elon Musk had twins last year with one of his top executives, report says”- Insufferable dude doing annoying things again. Of course Elon is also taunting Twitter after deciding against purchasing the platform, which of course led to some cheeky (and valid) tweets.

  

  George Takei @GeorgeTakei

  I thought Elon was dead set against ever pulling out.

• “Why conspiracy theories are thriving on dating apps”- Yeah, I mean… I’m just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him if he thinks birds aren’t real.

• "Former F1 boss Bernie Ecclestone is set to be charged with fraud by false representation 'after failing to declare £400m worth of assets held overseas'"- Imagine even having £400m to hide… that seems incomprehensible.

• “Liquidators for crypto hedge fund Three Arrows Capital say they can’t find founders”- This story is insane and has had a cataclysmic affect on the crypto landscape. One of Three Arrows Capital founders did tweet yesterday but I’m sure he’s in hiding somewhere, about to get copious amounts of plastic surgery to soon appear unrecognizable.

• “Vegan burger said to taste like ‘human meat’ wins award”- With some of the best crime novelists coming out of Sweden, I suppose this isn’t an entirely surprising marketing stunt to also have been birthed there.
