🚨 Cracker Barrel Logo Crisis: Meme Edition 🚨
Cracker Barrel yeeted the ‘Cracker’ & the barrel from their logo on Tuesday, August 19, thinking it was a glow-up. Stock hit a high of $61.00 that day… but the internet had other plans.
Memes, “woke” jokes, & savage roasts flooded X, tanking $CBRL to a day low of $50.27 by Thursday, August 21—a -17.59% plunge. The week wrapped up with a closing price of $54.40. 📉
Even Asmongold paused the CEO’s claim that “feedback has been overwhelmingly positive” just to Google $CBRL—and saw it nosedive in real-time.

The Real Red Flag Was the App's Backend: A Look at the Tea App Data Disaster
As the founder of a social investing app where trust and user privacy are our lifeblood, I’ve been following the Tea app breach story closely — and let’s just say, it’s a textbook case in what not to do when handling user data.
In case you missed it: Tea, the viral women-only app where users “review” their dates, suffered a major breach exposing over 72,000 private images — including selfies and ID cards meant for identity verification. Yep, government IDs. Just hanging out in a leaky, poorly secured bucket like it was 2006.
Why I Switched from the Raspberry Pi 4 to the ODROID-H4 Ultra (Instead of Upgrading to a Pi 5)
The Raspberry Pi 5 made a strong impression with its new features, but when it came time to upgrade from my Raspberry Pi 4, I made a different choice. Instead of sticking with the Raspberry Pi ecosystem, I switched to the ODROID-H4 Ultra—and here’s why.

Welp… that backfired. 😬
The official TheDemocrats account on X posted this chart with the caption “Trump’s America” — but didn’t seem to notice how their own graph actually works.
The chart starts in 2019 during Trump’s term, when grocery prices were low and steady. Then, right after Biden takes office in 2021, prices skyrocket across every category… and keep climbing throughout his presidency.
By 2025 — the part they tried to blame — the lines flatten out and might even dip slightly. But there’s not enough data yet to say. What is clear? The big jump didn’t happen in “Trump’s America”… it happened in Biden’s.
They deleted the post shortly after.
Total self-own. 🧠💥
Maybe next time… read the x-axis first? 😂
Who’s running the TheDemocrats account on X anyway?
Yeah… wouldn’t want to be that person today. 😅
Hulk Hogan has passed away at 71. Medics were reportedly called to his Florida home for a cardiac arrest this morning.
Whether you grew up during Hulkamania or caught the highlights later, it’s impossible to overstate how massive he was for wrestling and pop culture.
Some of his biggest accomplishments:
- Headlined 8 of the first 9 WrestleMania events, becoming the face of WWF’s rise in the '80s
- That legendary match vs André the Giant in ’88 pulled over 33 million TV viewers
- 6x WWF/WWE Champion
- First wrestler to win back-to-back Royal Rumbles (1990 & 1991)
- Two-time WWE Hall of Famer – solo in 2005 and with the nWo in 2020
- Appeared in “Rocky III,” and starred in the reality show “Hogan Knows Best”
He was way more than just a wrestler — he was an icon.
Rest easy, Hulkster
TIME’s recent “100 Best Podcasts of All Time” list left out some of podcasting’s biggest names—Joe Rogan, Lex Fridman, Theo Von, and more. Without clear criteria, it feels like a carefully curated list of “safe” shows rather than a true reflection of influence and culture.
Curious why your favorite podcast didn’t make the cut? Check out my full take on what TIME’s list really says about the podcast world.
Uber just announced a new “Women’s Preference” program — an opt-in feature for female riders who want to be matched only with female drivers. A nice idea, right?
Well, here’s the kicker: Uber also has a gender declaration form for drivers, which allows men to identify as women… and that’s it. No additional checks. So, theoretically, any dude named Dave can identify as Danielle and be eligible to pick up women-only riders.
So let me get this straight — Uber’s safety solution for women is a filter that can be bypassed with a single dropdown menu?
If the goal is to make things safer for women, maybe — and hear me out — step one shouldn’t be “let Dave pick a new pronoun.
