Hi Wrecklings!

I hope this finds you with the same zero f*cks vibes as the OK Department of Wildlife Conservation social team 🔥

• ''An olive oil startup founder apologized after accusing a rival brand on LinkedIn of copying his squeeze bottle. It's not his first public apology”- Someone needs a publicist (or to actually use theirs).

• “Meet the YouTube Creator Busting Crypto Scams”- Exposing the dudes with their lambos.

• “Bamboozle Festival With Limp Bizkit, Rick Ross Shuts Down”- Unsurprisingly, the plug was pulled on the Jersey Fyre Fest.

• ''Ephemeral Tattoos Were ‘Made to Fade.’ Some Have a Ways to Go.''- YIKES.

• ''Magic 'Raid' Wasn't the First Time Wizards of the Coast Hired Pinkertons [UPDATED]''- Brb, going down a Google hole about Pinkerton.

• ''Elizabeth Holmes' sentence delayed, keeping convicted former Theranos chief out of prison for now''- Just like Theranos’s Edison, I’m starting to wonder if this prison sentence will ever become reality.

• ''This ‘Blueberry' Waffle Has Gone Viral for a Berry Awful Reason''- This is absolutely terrible but I can’t stop laughing.

• ''The Container Store will accept Bed Bath and Beyond coupons through May''- They never really expired and now they’re saving us money at other places!

• “Katy Perry Falls to Longtime Trademark Nemesis Katie Perry in Infringement Battle”- I’m rooting for the small business underdog in this catfight.

• ''A San Francisco office building was worth $300 million before the pandemic. Now, it could sell for only $60 million — a perfect example of why downtowns are in trouble''- Seems like the landlord should convert the building to a residential one.

• “Stephen Miller Is Taking Legal Action Against the M&M’s Company”- …this makes absolutely zero sense.

• ''Influencer Sophia Begg in hot water after dressing as the stingray that killed Steve Irwin''- Yeah, she should have just gone with the crocodile.

• ''Adidas sued by investors over Kanye West deal''- Can’t blame them.

• ''Cop probed for trying to stop bust of alleged drug dealer — her boyfriend: sources''- I thought cuffing season was in the fall.

• ''A ‘full body org@sm’ at the L.A. Phil? Witnesses offer conflicting accounts''- News headlines will never cease to amaze.

• ''Shareholder lawsuit says Coinbase execs, VCs saved $1 billion by selling before bad news''- I’m sure this was all coincidental.

• ''A Cockroach Walked the Met Gala Red Carpet''- Sad to see such a bright star extinguished too soon.

• 🔏''Energizer, Walmart sued for conspiring to raise battery prices''- Now can we start making remote controls that plug into wall chargers?
