We cannot say this enough: always use restraint when using social media at work or when posting about work. You never know when your shitpost will go viral. Tiktok user  @briannaraelenee learned this the hard way after posting from the kitchen at the Panera Bread where she worked. Her video, which shows Brianna Ramirez preparing mac and cheese - by heating a plastic bag. The video exposed some of Panera's less wholesome cooking methods, and caused feelings of outrage and betrayal among Panera patrons. The revelatory video went so viral, that according to Brianna, it was featured on her town's news - which led to her firing. A brave sacrifice so that we could all learn the truth.

Sometimes we have to separate ourselves from our symbiotic relationship with the internet at remind ourselves: g*ddamn this place is messed up, and yet still wildly entertaining. Twitter user @Mikaela_wild helped us revisit this notion on President's Day. The Minnesotan called a very special niche of TikTok to our attention. The divorce and breakup videos. We thought that TikTok was cringey to begin with, but this Twitter thraed has opened our minds to levels of corniness and cringe that we really didn't think was possible.
