Mark Zuckerberg was caught sucking off a gnome on runway 16R/34L of Denver International Airport last night, causing massive disruption and delaying several flights.

The CEO will call people he disagrees with a r****d?

At least it's a good opportunity for parodic news medias to have some fun at Zuck's expense.

Honestly surprised people still use Facebook besides old people. Most people I talk to around my age or younger say they don't have it at all, only use it to keep in touch with certain people, or use it for business related reasons. My nieces and nephews straight up think it's just a site for old people. If Meta didn't have other sites like Instagram they probably wouldn't nearly be as big as they are.

Facebook is for old people and idiots in general. Sadly some people have no other means to stay in touch so they have to use FB. It would be fair for them to believe that are actually in hell

Insta is ubiquitous and it’s run by the same amoral assholes. 😞

I'm not sure I want Facebook/Zuckerberg deciding what is and isn't 'fact'.
