Buh-bye, Temu poo-poo: Will we start seeing fewer ads for Temu? You betcha! Temu has peaked in the U.S. (WSJ, paywall link) and doesn’t want to turn into another TikTok by getting banned, so it’s moving on to selling cheap junk in other countries now.

Let me tell you, more and more victims of cyberstalking are reaching out to me for advice using my Ask Kim page. Here’s one note I received recently from P.W. in Oklahoma:
“I’ve been cyberstalked for three years. I recently discovered it was my roommate. I moved out and he launched another attack. He’s on my and my fiance’s phones, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth — everything. He has stolen financial data, pictures, erased accounts, taken over emails and harassed me through VOIP. … He admitted to sitting outside our house all night. I thought he was spying on me. Now I know he was also gaining access to my Wi-Fi. I can’t do this anymore and need expert advice/help terribly.”
Come with me. Imagine you rush to the emergency room, but after five hours, they tell you to find another hospital. Or you check in at your specialist’s office for a chronic condition, only to find they’ve lost your entire medical history. Both of these scenarios just happened.

Way down from the 3,400 roles posted just a week ago. Elon Musk says he’s being “absolutely hardcore” about job cuts, trimming 20,000 folks over four weeks. Ex-employees were reportedly laid off over email, and let’s just say they’re hardcore pissed about it.
Found in the wall of a child’s bedroom in Charlotte, North Carolina. The little guy thought it was a monster in his room! A beekeeper transported the hive to a sanctuary, but their 100-pound honeycomb was destroyed. What a buzzkill!
