The Knot unraveling, interviews in the Metaverse & more airline drama 👀🍿🧃
Hi Wrecklings!
This week has me eagerly keeping an eye out for Crystal Hefner’s recently-announced podcast.
It’s been a while since we’ve found a seriously 👀🍿🧃read, and this week we have THREE!:
Two other extremely good reads:
“'Blind Side' subject Oher alleges Tuohys made millions off lie”- Oooof…
“Foot Locker Rejected Yeezy Restock Allocation, Fearing Backlash”- Good brand choice!
''I’m 45, a billionaire, obsessed with staying young — and hard to date''- This is a great interestingly bizarre read.
“Engine Recall Forces Major Airlines to Ground Planes and Cancel Flights”- Oh good, another reason for airlines to provide even worse service.
''Roblox Will Soon Start To Interview Some Job Seekers In-Game''- This is weird but entirely unsurprising.
''Is David Solomon Too Big a Jerk to Run Goldman Sachs? Inside a banking mutiny.''- Is that a rhetorical question?
“Airplane Karen's Public Apology Only Adds to the Mystery of 'Who's Not Real!'“- This whole saga is so fascinating, especially since she’s a professional marketer.
“Zuckerberg Says It’s ‘Time to Move On’ From ‘Cage Fight’ With Musk”- I desperately want to see this fight happen. Never thought I’d root for Zuck.
“Snapchat's My AI chatbot posted a Story then stopped responding. Users freaked out.”- Imagine all the insane content Snapchat AI has access to. Nooo thank you.
''CNET Deletes Thousands of Old Articles to Game Google Search''- CNET is on a roll of making horrible choices.
''Amazon is reportedly cutting most of its in-house clothing brands''- That’s like the quintessential PR spin-statement.
''A totaled Tesla was sold for parts in the U.S. but came back online in Ukraine — here’s what happened''- Too bad my donated 2007 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder definitely didn’t go globe-trotting.
The influencers are influencing:
''WWE Superstar allegedly lied about suffering an injury in the ring''- Does anyone have health insurance that actually works or…?
''Former fire chief indicted for allegedly embezzling more than $28K''- ….liar, liar, pants on fire.
''‘Bulletproof’ hosting site that allegedly enabled 400 ransomware attacks seized, founder indicted''- More good press for Web3… psych.
