Georgia GOP Calls For Coke Product Ban
CocaCola called out the Georgia legislature so look who wants payback.
“Given Coke’s choice to cave to the pressure of an out of control cancel culture, we respectfully request all Coca-Cola Company products to be removed from our office suite immediately. Should Coke chose to read the bill, share its true intentions and accept their role in the dissemination of mistruths, we would welcome a conversation to rebuild a working relationship,”
Okay but do you really think Trump is going to give up his Diet Coke?

Toronto Bakery is Home of the BIG Slice. REALLY, REALLY, REALLY BIG SLICE
You can’t fold this pizza slice, you can’t even eat it with a knife and fork. And it will set you back $28 a slice, but in their defense, it’s REALLY BIG. Lamanna’s Bakery offers traditional style slices or sweet pies that include frosted donuts, birthday cake, or even nutella.
Tastes like shit but there’s plenty of it.
Something New To Worry About: Dark Patterns
Dark Patterns aren’t new, but consumers are now becoming more aware of these ways websites trick you into spending money you didn’t know you were spending. Like the free trials or one time purchases that don’t tell you that you’ve signed up for monthly or even weekly subscriptions. Or campaign sites (cough cough, Trump) that automatically check a tiny box saying you agree to recurring donations including a suprise monthly money bomb payment.
One Kansas City Trump supporter who donated $500 said his account was drained by $3,000 that month.
Good news! Dark Pattern purchases come with free cotton candy and a balloon for all you marky marks.

Lost tapes of the 27 club used AI to create new music by deceased musicians who died young, including a new track by Nirvana. There’s also a new Hendrix song, and a new Doors Song.
A series of computer-generated artificial tracks of Nirvana, Jimi Hendrix, Amy Winehouse and Jim Morrison were made after analyzing close to 30 songs of each artist. The project is created by Toronto Mental Health awareness organization Over the Bridge.
