Taco Bell debauchery, Cybertruck drives into the ocean & the wooly mammoth returns (maybe) ๐๐ฟ๐ง
Hi Wrecklings!
This week has me counting the weeks until Season 2 of Dr. Deathโ and grumpy that Spotify Wrapped is crashing. $5 the song TikTok tricked me into thinking was viral is on my top-listened listโ which, I uphold, it is a bop and should be the next Baby Shark.
Also, had a total pre-holiday brain fart last week, **xylitol is the super poisonous sweetener for dogs, rather than aspartame. Mkkaaaaay, so:
''CZ, founder of crypto giant Binance, pleads guilty to money laundering violations''- This should have gone in last weekโs newsletter but then holiday brain happened.
โQAnon Queen Cult Leader Returns to Small Town That Thought It Drove Her Awayโ- Well, that relief was short-lived.
โGoogle Drive users angry over losing months of stored dataโ- Excuse me while I download all of my important documentsโฆ
โTech 'Unicorn' That Raised Millions for 'Reinventing' Walls Is Shutting Downโ- TK
โLiquid Death Changes Name of Armless Palmer After Lawsuit Threatโ- For those of you not following me on Instagram already, I have a very one-sided beef with this brand.
โEmployee SUES Taco Bell, Says Staff Holiday Party Turned Into Drunken 0rgy!โ- Imagine going to get some guacamole out of the car and coming back to such a vibe changeโฆ
โU.S. Soldiers Are Exposing Barracks Full of Mold, Bed Bugs, and Unsafe Food With a New Appโ- Omg.
''Woolly Mammoth de-extinction project underway in Dallas''- Ah yes, Iโve seen this movie before, it did not go well.
''Tesla spotted driving Cybertruck into ocean after claiming it will float''- Very curious about whether this will actually manage to float.
''TikTok influencer condemned by fans for fake face tattoo prank''- Proceed with cautionโ this entire story is so dumb.
''An agency created an AI model who earns up to $11,000 a month because it was tired of influencers 'who have egos'''- Problem solved!
''Dad Tells Influencer Daughter, 15, She Can't Access Income Until 18 as Her Siblings Only Make 'Pocket Money'''- Admittedly this would be something Iโd be furious about as a teen and then years later, grateful I wasnโt able to spend it on stupid nonsense.
''Hall Is Suing Oates. Over What Is a Mystery.''- I didnโt realize how great their founding story was!
''Tree House Brewing Co. sued by minority shareholder in Massachusetts court''- This is definitely niche but super delicious New England drama.
''NVIDIA sued for stealing trade secrets after screensharing blunder showed rival company's code''- Uhm, oops.
''Tesla sues Swedish government after postal workers allegedly block license plate deliveries''- I respect this level of petty chaos.
