00:00:00.300 --> 00:00:02.130
- James O'Keefe, the guy who founded

2
00:00:02.130 --> 00:00:04.380
the right wing activist
group Project Veritas,

3
00:00:04.380 --> 00:00:06.390
has been removed as the group's leader.

4
00:00:06.390 --> 00:00:07.987
All right, so the board
claims that he, quote,

5
00:00:07.987 --> 00:00:10.410
"Spent an excessive amount of donor funds

6
00:00:10.410 --> 00:00:12.840
in the last three years
on personal luxuries."

7
00:00:12.840 --> 00:00:14.880
And as our writer, Kevin Hurler found out

8
00:00:14.880 --> 00:00:17.160
that included things like DJ equipment.

9
00:00:17.160 --> 00:00:18.330
All right, so really you can't help

10
00:00:18.330 --> 00:00:21.540
but just love to see the guy
behind shady sting operations

11
00:00:21.540 --> 00:00:23.790
get called out for his own bad behavior.

12
00:00:23.790 --> 00:00:26.280
It seems Mark Zuckerberg's taking a page

13
00:00:26.280 --> 00:00:28.230
out of Elon Musk's playbook.

14
00:00:28.230 --> 00:00:29.670
Meta announced its voyaging

15
00:00:29.670 --> 00:00:32.670
into the land of selling
blue verified badges.

16
00:00:32.670 --> 00:00:33.900
Ah, yes, the paid feature

17
00:00:33.900 --> 00:00:36.000
is targeted toward content creators

18
00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:37.140
and for 12 bucks a month,

19
00:00:37.140 --> 00:00:39.840
subscribers will apparently
become more favorable

20
00:00:39.840 --> 00:00:41.340
on META'S algorithms.

21
00:00:41.340 --> 00:00:44.070
And who wouldn't love an
extra day off each week?

22
00:00:44.070 --> 00:00:46.680
The four-day work week is gaining traction

23
00:00:46.680 --> 00:00:48.150
after the world's largest study

24
00:00:48.150 --> 00:00:51.600
shows companies sticking with
the revised work schedule.

25
00:00:51.600 --> 00:00:53.190
As our writer, Nikki Maine, found out

26
00:00:53.190 --> 00:00:55.320
70% of employees reported

27
00:00:55.320 --> 00:00:57.480
that they had reduced levels of burnout

28
00:00:57.480 --> 00:01:01.170
and 40% said their sleep
difficulty levels had improved.

29
00:01:01.170 --> 00:01:02.790
Sign me up.

00:01:02.790 --> 00:01:04.110
