Hi Wrecklings!
Itโs officially spring! Itโd be great if my depressional were only seasonal but regardless, always love more daylight hours.
''This cop is being sued for streaming a traffic stop on TikTok''- I. Would. Be. FURIOUS.
''29-year-old woman who posed as teen student wanted to relive HS experience: lawyer''- This feels like the most awful defense ever.
''I Had AI Write My Instagram Captions, And My Friends Did A Wellness Check On Me''- โSeems like AI still has a long way to go before it can capture the essence of human expression in social media!โ โ ChatGPT authored that when I asked it to craft a pithy little comment on that headline, the irony.
''People Are 3D Printing Anti-Tank Rocket Launchers Now''- Cool, cool. Sure thisโll end well.
''The FTC finalizes Epicโs $245 million settlement over sketchy Fortnite purchases''- I can hear the sighs of relief from parents across the country.
''Meta Employees Interrogate Mark Zuckerberg in Town Hall Meeting''- His responses definitely arenโt inspiring confidence.
''Animal activists and commercial industry at odds after Nike halts use of kangaroo leather''- Iโm sorry, what?
''Popular Finance YouTubers Who Hyped Crypto Company FTX Are Being Sued''- I get that theyโre claiming those were just advertisers but theyโre not without faultโ otherwise
''We Spoke To The NYU Student Who Did Not Have Fun Studying Abroad In Florence And She Doesn't Care That You're Mad''- I mean, thatโs fairโ because Iโm not going to care that sheโs mad when she canโt find a job.
''Gym Bros Are Eating Dog Food For Protein And Iโm Frightened''- MyFitnessPal doesnโt even have the correct measurements for even human food, of course the numbers for dog food (?!?) are wrong.
''Male Model Says Lovelorn Socialite Hired Detectives to Destroy Him''- This is an absolutely insane read. Highly recommend just for the bizarre story as a whole.
''Rick Rossโ Pet Buffaloes Are Roaming Free and Upsetting His Neighbors''- Celebrities, theyโre just like us!
''Amazon sued for not telling New York store customers about tracking biometrics''- Well Amazon Go definitely knows that my body shape tends to stand in front of the ice cream for a weirdly long time due to indecision.
''Gwyneth Paltrow to stand trial in Park City over hit-and-run ski crash lawsuit''- Word has it that Gwenโs recent bizarre podcast interview was planned by her PR team to conveniently distract from this lawsuit-related news.
''Robot lawyer' DoNotPay is being sued by a law firm because it 'does not have a law degree'''- Curious about how this suit turns out.
''A woman spent 6 years working for an MLM and made $1 million. She still warns others against joining and being exploited.''- Adding this book to my Goodreads list immediately.
''Boca Raton Woman Asks City Board to Create โSugar Daddy and Mommy Appreciation Day'''- As this TikTokโer below said, I guess Iโd be more of a sugar toddler at this point.
๐''BuzzFeed Encourages Reporters to Write More Stories in Attempt to Turn Profit''- Oh yep, sure, quantity over quality is going to work out just great.

I hadn't seen the news about Epic Games, but I have to say this fits into a narrative by the company. They sued Apple (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epic_Games_v._Apple) for taking a large cut of in-app purchases (30%). I guess tricking children into micro transactions was the only solution. ๐
