Newsletter: Would you buy a home with a toilet in your bedroom?
Hello fellow citizens of the internet! Andrew here. Welcome to today's edition of web_crawlr.
We are kicking off the week with our "One Dumb Conspiracy" column from Tech Reporter Mikael, who looks into how conspiracy theorists think a video proves that Hillary Clinton is part of an intergalactic cult.
Meanwhile, our top stories are about a bizarre home (with a toilet in the bedroom) that is attracting a ton of attention, a look at the rampant trans hate groups on Facebook, a flippant remark from Apple CEO Tim Cook, and a look at how the cast and crew of The Rings of Power are pushing back against the show's racist backlash.
Let's get into it. See you tomorrow!
