Having a little fun or what?

Joy’s selection for this week’s Halloween-themed “Absolute Scariest” — something that keeps us up at night — is the possibility of another Donald Trump presidency.

In this segment, there can only be one “winner.” But if your stomach can take it, here are some unnerving stories from the past week.

Facebook — I mean, Meta
Facebook announced this week it has changed its name to Meta to better reflect its focus on the metaverse — a virtual, interconnected “world” that inhabitants can access through devices like headsets or glasses.

Last week, I wrote that Facebook’s metaverse plans should excite you in some ways. But I also said the company's troubling record of manipulating its users should absolutely terrify anyone who inhabits the new world it's trying to create.

Conservative Senate Democrats
Democratic Sens. Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona both embraced their roles as foils to progressives during negotiations over President Joe Biden’s Build Back Better plan this week.

Manchin has used his power as one of two Democratic holdouts to water down key social programs in the bill, while Sinema has reportedly used her power to possibly tank a plan to lower prescription drug costs that’s popular in her state of Arizona.

Collectively, they’ve significantly pared down a popular bill, benefiting themselves and their wealthy donors in the energy and pharmaceutical sectors. Oh, the horror!

Cruel Covid defiance
Earlier this week, it was reported that Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo was booted from a meeting with an immunocompromised state senator after refusing to wear a mask.

Ladapo, who frequently spreads vaccine and mask-related conspiracy theories, has been a reliable sidekick to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, a Republican, in his opposition to public health measures. There’s nothing scarier than having conspiracy theorists at the wheel during a pandemic.
