From AI Outsmarting Us Once Again to Dunkin’ Spiked Coffee—Here’s WTF is Happening in August

It’s August! With all the actors and all the writers on strike, we may have to amuse ourselves for a while. I’d suggest a daily walk, maybe reading a good book or adopting a pet. There’s no time like the present to better oneself and think about one’s life goals. Who knows, maybe people will start having real-life conversations and finally walk away from the keyboard battles about… everything. Or, we could just stay home and make Suits a top-rated show on Netflix. The choice is ours. 

While contemplating which streaming service to cancel so you can afford a different streaming service, here’s WTF for August 2023

Kevin! The big winner this week is Macaulay Culkin: he’s no longer the only person from Home Alone 2 indicted for a crime! Congratulations Macaulay! Way to hang in there. 

Click on all the squares containing a robot programmed to enslave humanity. Turns out the robots are better than we are at solving CAPTCHAs. I figure we should give up now and try to make the best of it while the AIs take over writing our sitcoms.

Maybe don’t? The American Airlines passenger who stormed off a plane claiming, “That motherf#@%er is not real” has broken her silence, according to the Daily Beast. Seems that “breaking her silence” is what started this mess, but don’t ask me. I’m just a Sasquatch.

My Fantasy Football team is all long-snappers. NFL Football is back! And now with more safety! Players are no longer allowed to lower their heads to initiate contact. The NFL hopes the new rule will protect the league from more allegations, lawsuits, or Will Smith movies. 

This is just a sparkling cry for help. I make a lot of bad decisions in the morning, so why not? Dunkin’ is releasing a “spiked” version of its iced coffee. For some reason, they felt the need to make four flavors too. Cool, but I’m just reaching for a Four Loko.

Maybe don’t? Part 2. And finally, The Zuckerberg/Musk cage match is probably not going to happen. Zuckerberg wants to move on, while Musk is too busy ruining Twitter, I mean X. Hopefully, these two can reschedule because with all the climate change fueled disaster, political instability and financial uncertainty, a couple of billionaires slap-fighting might just be the change we need…

About the author

Some say Jack Hott was born in a restaurant. Others say he wasn’t born at all but discovered behind a Hobart stand mixer. Wherever he comes from, he’s made a career out of only being a good enough employee to skate by in the restaurant industry since the mid-90s. Jack Hott, if that’s even his real name, has gotten lost in walk-ins, stared into the abyss of pizza ovens, spilled red wine on white linen tablecloths, and shaken cocktails he was supposed to stir. If you can find him on social media, for your own safety, please do not follow him.
