Hello fellow web crawlers! Kira here. Welcome to today's edition of web_crawlr

Here's the latest trending internet culture stories today: a customer whose pizza box feature several politic figures (and Jesus?), the FCC's investigation of '60 Minutes'––a huge departure for the historically neutral commission, a new mother's alarming interaction with her in-laws, and an explanation for why everyone is dancing like a rat on TikTok.

After that, Mikael has a timely "Your Password Sucks" column for you.

Until next time,

— K.D.
