Hello Wrecklings! Anyone on TikTok? Weâd love for yâall to follow us on there! Weâll be doing headline recaps but also one-offs that wonât be covered in the newsletter (ie: we got a recent tip about some interestinggg Will White merch).
After doomscrolling on Twitter late last week, we were the first outlet to cover Shaun Kingâs latest alleged scam. And without further adoâ this weekâs news:
âThe Last Days of Ellen: Ellen tricks Audience Members Out of $2,500â- Who produced this show? I once bid way too much for VIP tickets to Monster Jam at a charity auction but at least I walked away with what Iâd wanted.
âThe QAnon Queen Told Followers They Didnât Need to Pay Bills. It Didnât End Well.â- This article is absolutely worth a read, if for no other reason that itâs an excellent opportunity to unclench your jaw as this story is jaw-droppingly nuts.
âGrubhubâs âFree Lunchâ Promo Went Predictably Haywireâ- We already have a difficult relationship with Grubhub here at The Wreck List because our editor has been bamboozled by them a few too many times. And like hating a BFFâs ex that did them wrong, I feel like the same applies to companies? Keep up the great customer service, Grubhub!
âThe WAGatha Christie Trial Is the Only Good Celebrity Court Caseâ- Leave it to the Brits to have a far more civilized (but equally scandalous) courtroom battle between two celebs.
âHell in Amyâs Kitchenâ- Turns out that sweatshops arenât just for clothing, but also burritos. Sad to have to add this one to my personal boycott list.
âThe most tragic thing I have ever witnessed!' Kendall Jenner's 'insane attempt' to cut a cucumber leaves the internet dumbstruck (but don't worry, she was rescued by family chef)â- This is like one of the best scenes fromThe Simple Life, but without the cheeky self-awareness.
âCharlie Puth Is the Latest Male Celeb to Queerbait for Likesâ- Iâve recently been wondering about what momentarily-famous singers and actors do after theyâve faded from our pop culture radars. I guess hereâs one answer.
ââCrazy richâ Indonesiansâ arrests spotlight investment perilsâ- This article is fascinating but admittedly struggled to concentrate on much beyond who buys a $30k t-shirt?
âActivision Blizzard's New Diversity Game Tool Comes Across Terriblyâ- The limit to perplexingly bad marketing ideas does not exist.
âFired CNN+ Staffers Were Reportedly Given Boxes Filled With CNN+ Swag and Welcome Notesâ- Ahh, this is as graceful as when I got laid off and had to loop my boss into an email thread and she promptly introduced herself with, âHi XX, weâre sad to see Lise go, but we get it!â
âTurns Out That 3,000-Year-Old Artifact That Was Destroyed In A Viral TikTok Was Fake And The Company Has Nobody To Blame But Themselvesâ- Do we think the fact this company is selling Egyptian mummy beads can be to blame for this *waves arms around at general state of things*?
Psst, love us? Weâd love if youâd help us grow:
