Tech bro feuds, sharks on cocaine & an enormous lobster heist fail

Hi Wrecklings!

If you haven’t already, would love if you’d back our Goblins Kickstarter! I’m pitching this as my single girl registry 😜

• Tech bro feuds are so weird:

  • “Developer Says the ‘Friend’ AI Amulet Ripped Off His Project, Releases Diss Track”

  • “Elon Musk sues OpenAI, Sam Altman for making a “fool” out of him”

• “‘They just stopped paying’: Saks Fifth Avenue owes hundreds of thousands of dollars to dozens of brands”- Sounds like a sound business, nothing to worry about here.

• “RFK Jr admits dumping bear carcass in New York's Central Park”- What.

• “A True-Crime Doc About the Catfishing of Tegan and Sara Fans Is Coming to Hulu”- Everything there is not awesome.

• “Why Zillow Gone Wild is being sued for alleged copyright infringement”- Oh noo, I like that account!

• “Bloomberg apologizes for premature story on prisoner swap and disciplines the journalists involved”- Yikes, that’s a dangerous broken embargo.

• “CrowdStrike sued by shareholders over global outage”- Not at all surprising.

• “Turns Out BDE Has a Downside”- This was obviously followed-up by a sleazy PR offer letter.

• “‘90 Day Fiance’ Spinoff Sparks Lawsuit Drama”- Everything relating to this show is a (delicious) mess.

• “Belgium withdraws from mixed relay triathlon after athlete who swam in Seine River falls ill”- Either from bad chicken or the poop river.

• “Sam Altman is seen driving a car that can cost $5 million. Everyone is thanking him for helping them pass their tests.”- The only way that cost makes sense is if there are actually dozens of tiny, actual horses under that hood.

• “Revealed: Real reason glamorous Olympic swimmer, 20, was kicked out of the athletes village after being accused of 'inappropriate conduct'“- Bold move to risk so much.

• “Watch Two Enormous Cargo Ships Crash And Rip Open LPG Fuel Tank”- Giant fender bender.

• “Chowder Pot III’s iconic 12-foot lobster statue pulls almost $7K at auction”- I love the story about the attempted heist.

• “Sharks in Brazil Test Positive for a Surprising Contaminant: Cocaine”- While paywalled, the New York Times’ headline is elite— “Not Afraid of Sharks? Well, Now They’re on Cocaine.”
