Meta Employees Trying to Find New Jobs Somewhere Else

In the last six months, facebook/ig/meta shares have plummeted and employees- especially those with stock as part of their compensation- are talking on corporate message boards about how to jump ship.

“Joined Meta near [all time stock high], now feeling like s—t. What should I do?”
“Leave this crap place.”
“Same boat,.”

Would be great to see just one positive meta story, just for fun. #TheFutureSucks

Virtual Kidnappings Are Now A Thing. Great.

This new scam targets people whose kids or grandkids have posted publicly that they are traveling overseas. The kidnappers gather some intel and then call parents claiming they have their kid, demanding a ransom to be wired immediately. Only they never had the kid to begin with.

Rookie mistake. If you’ve learned nothing from watching tv, you should learn that you always demand proof from the kidnappers.

Bill Murray Getting Blowback For Covid Comments

Murray is being lampooned as just another old white guy after bitching about wearing a mask. In an interview with The Independent, Murray said, this … “We just went out with our friend to walk the dog, and you’re wearing a mask, everyone’s wearing a mask. The dog is the only one who’s completely alive!” He adds, “He’s living the dog’s life. The rest of us are afraid to die, and afraid to kill, so we’re masked up and we’re injected, and so forth. It’s the most challenging time of this life cycle for us.”

Victor Willis Says Dump Trevor Noah, Not Kanye

Village People founder Victor Willis is speaking out about the Grammys decision to bar Kanye from performing. He thinks Kanye is only banned because of his conflict with Grammy host Trevor Noah, and says that Noah started all the trouble and should have refrained from talking bout West.

A Grammy host should be held to a higher standard. I like Trevor, but maybe the Grammys should have considered pulling him as host for inserting himself in this mess in the first place.”

Better idea: Can’t we just pull them both?
