How To Get Money From The Facebook Settlement
WASHINGTON, DC - APRIL 11: Facebook co-founder, Chairman and CEO Mark Zuckerberg testifies before the House Energy and Commerce Committee in the Rayburn House Office Building on Capitol Hill April 11, 2018 in Washington, DC. This is the second day of testimony before Congress by Zuckerberg, 33, after it was reported that 87 million Facebook users had their personal information harvested by Cambridge Analytica, a British political consulting firm linked to the Trump campaign.

Facebook has agreed to settle a class action lawsuit for $725 MILLION, and YOU are probably entitled to some money.
The case dates back to the Cambridge Analytica scandal in 2018, when there were allegations that Facebook shared users’ information with third parties without their permission.
They still deny doing that, by the way. Which I personally think is a bunch of bulls#!t but what do I know. I still remember logging on the Facebook back in the day and getting a pop up message that said that my personal info was accessed because some “friend” of mine was duped into clicking into one of those Cambridge Analytica info-harvesting stories…
Anyway… back to how you can get paid.
If you had a Facebook account between May 24th of 2007 to December 22nd of 2022, you can file a claim online, or download a form and mail it in. It only takes a few minutes to do . . . you just have to give them your user name, your contact information, and how you’d like to receive your payment.
The deadline is August 25th.
How much will each of us get? Well, hard to say. Of course a ton of the $725 million will go to lawyers fees. This is a big payday for them. After that, how much everyone gets will depend on how many of us actually apply…
My best guess is that we each get enough for a cup of coffee. But, it’s better than nothing plus the dough comes from that schmuck Zuckerberg who picks OUR pocket every chance he gets… so… it’s payback time, bitches!
Again, here’s the link to get your claim started. Of course, you have to put in your name and contact info… so this company will prolly keep that and sell it too. Because the saying is no longer “corporations are people”; the saying is, “corporations are the only people that matter”.

What’s New With David Letterman?
Since leaving the late-night talk show world, Letterman remains very busy. Most notably, he’s partnered with Netflix on the series My Next Guest Needs No Introduction with David Letterman. So far, the series has four seasons and five specials to make up 26 total episodes.
Letterman talks to a very diverse selection of people in this series, which centers around long-form interviews. The premiere episode was with former President Barack Obama. Letterman has also had sit-downs with Malala Yousafzai, Jay-Z, Kanye West, Dave Chappelle, Cardi B, Julia Louis-Dreyfus and more.

In addition to his Netflix series, Letterman has also showed up on Disney+. He took part in a unique special titled Bono & the Edge: A Sort of Homecoming With Dave Letterman, which premiered in March 2023. The special has the U2 frontman and guitarist taking Letterman around their hometown of Dublin, Ireland. dditionally, the Disney+ special also features the U2 singer and guitarist in an intimate in-the-round setting for a performance.
In a press release statement, Letterman quips, “Recently, I won a radio contest. Winner gets to visit Dublin with Bono and The Edge (radio contest part not true, but I feel like a winner). They showed me around, introduced me to their musician friends, and performed some of their greatest songs in a small theater. It’s a great tour. Get in touch with them ― I’m told there are still availabilities. I’m the luckiest man on the planet. (There are no availabilities).”
“We wanted to strip away the artifice that inevitably emerges when you’ve been around this long,” says Bono in the trailer. The Edge adds, “We seem to thrive doing something that’s never been done before.”
When Carl is not working at the greatest rock radio station known to mankind; a station known around the globe; a station that has the best music, co-workers, advertisers and most importantly THE BEST F'N LISTENERS you may find me doing any one of the following: Riding or making mountain bike trails. playing with his kids. playing sand volleyball on 5th Ave, cooking amazing food, including on his sweet smoker grill, going to concerts, swimming in the ocean, going to amusement parks with his kids, and other stuff that rocks!
