Willy Wonka Fyre Fest, illegal weed stores & hairless alien cats 👀🍿🧃
Hi Wrecklings!
I’m late to this but… where’s Kate Middleton?
This week has me obsessed with this epic failure of a Willy Wonka immersive experience. For maximum effect, check out the expectation… Did you see it? Ok, now check out the reality (this photo also has me lol’ing). More and more details keep coming out— like each kid was given ONE jelly bean and some lemonade… and there was a made-up villain called The Unknown who is an evil chocolate maker who lives in the walls (?!?!).
“Mom loses $820,000 injuries claim after she was pictured tossing a Christmas tree”- Dangggg.
“Woman set to marry AI hologram boyfriend who was designed based on data from all of her exes”- I guess it’s an upgrade from the mannequin…
I’m sorry, what in the dystopian??
“California Bakery Owner 'Left High and Dry' After Tesla Reportedly Canceled $16,000 Pie Order”- I love that the community is rallying around them.
“Spanish Priest Sidelined by Church for Allegedly Hawking Viagra”- No comment.
“Husband 'made over a million' by eavesdropping on BP wife”- I’m so glad they covered what happened with that relationship.
“‘Wing was destroyed’: Boston flight diverted after plane damage discovered mid-air”- I’m a chill traveler but would probably freak out seeing this.
“Bizarre Skin Condition Leaves Hairless Cats Covered in Swirling Patterns”- This freaks me out beyond belief.
“Woman Fired For Eating Leftover Sandwich Found In UK Company's Meeting Room”- The corporate world is literally the worst.
“Why Are There Still Illegal Weed Stores All Over the City?”- “packaged in the aesthetic of a Monster Energy drink” is flawless writing.
“Celebrity travel agent says one star client demanded a ‘medium sized’ dog in all their hotel rooms, had to ask staff to borrow their pooches”- Not scandal, just literal goals.
This week in lawsuits
🔏“WeightWatchers’ Ozempic Influencer House Backfires”- In case “…take selfies with giant injector pens…” wasn’t a clue, this is a total disaster.
🔏“Tumblr and Wordpress to Sell Users’ Data to Train AI Tools”- Tumblr? That’s going to be one emo AI tool.
