Ex bounty hunters, gourmand possum & more baby Elons (sadly) 👀🍿🧃
Hi Wrecklings!
This week has me absolutely riveted by Apple Cider Vinegar on Netflix about a “wellness” influencer- zomg, so good.
“Google changes Gulf of Mexico to ‘Gulf of America' in Maps app”- This is genuinely the dumbest timeline.
“Man who lost $760 million Bitcoin fortune might BUY dump so he can search for hard drive”- My anxiety and overthinking could never navigate this.
“Vegas business owner indicted for allegedly running cryptocurrency Ponzi scheme”- $24M from 400 investors? That’s pretty impressive.
“Joann to close 500 of its 800 fabric and craft stores in US after second bankruptcy filing”- This makes my crafting-self so sad.
“A Side-By-Side Photo Of 5 Different “Love Is Blind” Cast Members Is Going Viral Because No One Can Tell The Difference Between Them, And It’s Sparked A Ton Of Jokes”- As someone who couldn’t get through The Departed because all the characters looked the same, hard agree.
“Canned Tuna Sold At Walmart, Trader Joe's, Costco Recalled For Botulism Risk”- One of my worst fears.
“Chinese snow village apologises for using cotton wool to create fake snow”- This does make me sad.
“Trump White House Blocked Associated Press From Oval Office Event Because It Didn’t Rename Gulf Of Mexico As Gulf Of America, Editor Says”- Good thing this is the dude that has access to super sensitive info.
“Meet the Redditors Who Spend Hours Snarking on Influencers”- I’m admit I check in on these every once in a while.
“Runners go in wrong direction after prankster messes with race signs”- Ok I know it shouldn’t have, but it made me smile.
“A Shirley Temple Hates to See Him Coming”- Besides this kid making more than most adults, it’s pretty funny.
“Security Flaw: DOGE Is So Transparent Anyone Can Edit Its Website”- Not even a little surprised.
“CT police departments want you to turn in your ex this Valentine's Day”- Honestly GENIUS.
“Ashley St. Clair Says Elon Musk Hasn't Acknowledged Their Baby, Urges Him to 'Finish Their Agreement' in Terse Statement”- He’s so disgusting.
“Kayla Itsines slams fitness influencers who 's3xualise' their content: 'I just don't want to see that'“- Probably not unlike when I’m on Instagram in public and a photo Britney Spears uploaded pops up on my feed and it’s uncomfortable.
“TikTok ‘hordes’ intercepted by police after influencer tells them to ‘invade’ ski resort”- We live in such a weird time.
“‘Cake Bandit’ opossum hospitalized after indulging in an entire Costco cake”- But it was probably worth it.
