"I'm gonna need a lot more sunscreen though..."
The world’s 5th richest man, and avid foil enthusiast, Mark Zuckerberg shocked observers, yesterday, with the announcement that his social media behemoth Facebook Inc. would be changing its name to “Meta.”
Per the Associated Press report:
Facebook Inc. is now called Meta Platforms Inc., or Meta for short, to reflect what CEO Mark Zuckerberg said Thursday is its commitment to developing the new surround-yourself technology known as the “ metaverse.” But the social network itself will still be called Facebook.
Also unchanged, at least for now, are its chief executive and senior leadership, its corporate structure and the crisis that has enveloped the company.
Skeptics immediately accused the company of trying to change the subject from the Facebook Papers, the trove of leaked documents that have plunged it into the biggest crisis since it was founded in Zuckerberg’s Harvard dorm room 17 years ago. The documents portray Facebook as putting profits ahead of ridding its platform of hate, political strife and misinformation around the world.
Zuckerberg then released a sneak peek into his own personal “metaverse.”

And that is all I have to say about that.

It’s not the next big thing – its just Zoom with VR headsets that MZ hopes we’ll buy from him.

Normally I’m a sucker for shallow displays of self awareness but this is repulsive
He has a mighty purdy mouth…says the southern bois!
Skynet was already taken
Don’t watch the video. It’s really fucked.
Meta kook. Dude makes Elo look cool.
Methamphetamine
What’s the whoop numbers?
“Hi, I’m Mark. I’ve changed the name of the parent company of fb to meta but don’t worry I’ll still be the same jerk with the stupid haircut, punchable face and act like a self entitled wanker same as ever.”
Barf Zuckerburg.
Poor spore.

I’m so confused by all of this but there’s no way I’m watching that video wether its real or not.
Jeeezus fucking Christ. What the fuck is wrong with this cunt. If Ya boy Jonah wants to be accepted the only way is to publicly berate and abuse cuckerberg for being a fucking kook.
I must admit I appreciate Jonah’s work so I couldn’t really punch him.
If you ever wondered if foiling actually takes any skill… Mark Zuckerberg can foil.
At least Zuck and JH are kooks and know it. Szekely is a fucking clown that happens to surf well. Guy is a waste of air and space.
Can a metaverse wormhole just suck out all the foilers, VALS, van-lifers etc from this universe…
Who has a more punchable face:
– Zuckerberg
– Jonah
– Jacob Szekely
Now that is a tough one. Jonah’s would feel like punching a marshmallow.

I now have guilt for including Jonah as he has put out some great movies
Not sure about the face but Szekely has to be the most open hand to ear-able person on the planet.
Hey I’m Zeke I rebranded my name to zeke after starting a bunch of fights. Now I get to wow you with trivial motorcross tricks and production values my massive trust fund allows. But every once and A while I still start an argument and film it even tho I’m 4’4″
Can I steal “most open hand to ear-able person on the planet” as long as I credit you for the phrase?
Its all you but you can credit Hawaiians, its their phrase mostly.
Man I don’t know if I can use it as I’ve been given the haole POS look too many times…
The most classic.
