The internet is chaotic—but we’ll break it down for you in one daily email. Sign up for the Daily Dot’s web_crawlr newsletter here to get the best (and worst) of the internet straight into your inbox.
Hello fellow web crawlers! Kira here. Welcome to today's edition of web_crawlr. I hope your Monday's off to a good start.
Today's top stories are about: Larry David's strongly-worded rant about Trump, a conspiracy theory that 'The Simpsons' predicted the Baltimore bridge collapse, a woman who lost it after pulling up to a drive-thru that was closed, and GLAAD's report on Meta's failure to address transphobic content on their platforms.
After that, check out a 'Your Password Sucks' column from Mikael.
Until next time,
— K.D.
He did not hold back. At all.
"The Simpsons have to be manipulating events," one user wrote on X.
Sometimes time is not on our side, and one woman was reminded of it recently after pulling up to a drive-thru just after a restaurant’s closing.
"These accounts profit from such hate, and so does Meta and its shareholders," reads the GLAAD press release.

Tips are a token of appreciation for employees who go above and beyond. However, some places don’t allow tips. Apparently, Little Caesars is one of those places.
In a video with over 645,000 views, popular TikTok user Raymonte (@bdtrelilbrother) filmed himself trying to give the cashier a $300 tip. Raymonte is a former Little Caesars worker and knows how “irritating” the job can be, so he wanted to express his gratitude.
“How’s it going, sir? Do you have one of the Crazy Puffs?” he asked.
After the worker said, “No,” Raymonte offered a generous tip.
“I used to work at Little Caesars, so, I know how, like, hectic this is or whatever. I wanted to give you this,” the content creator said, handing the employee $300 in cash—all $20 bills.
“I know how this job is. It’s really irritating,” he added.
