After three seasons, Netflix canceled the series on Friday. Starring Drew Barrymore as a zombie mom and Timothy Olyphant as her husband trying to cover her flesh-eating behavior from friends and family, Santa Clarita Diet mixed just enough weird and comedy to build a cult following.
So naturally, as soon as word got out Netflix killed the show, fans broke out their pitchforks and took to Twitter to vent.

With Avengers the talk of Hollywood, one Twitter user hilariously joked how the person who canceled the show should get “Thanos snapped.” LOL. Read more…

This is One Good Thing, a weekly column where we tell you about one of the few nice things that happened this week.
The first weekend of Avengers: Endgame is finally upon us, and people are desperate to avoid any spoilers for the highly-anticipated film.
In a desperate attempt to keep the details of the plot at bay, fans have been blocking certain keywords on social media, avoiding some news sites, and taking other desperate measures. There’s even a notable #Don’tSpoilTheEndgame hashtag on Twitter.
In this tweet from @kamiilious, her teacher made sure their students knew that there would be absolutely no discussion of the film in his classroom by posting a long and hilarious note of warning. Read more…

Elon Musk really went for it this week at Tesla’s Autonomy Day, ripping into widely used self-driving technology like laser sensors and (over)promising to put 1 million self-driving Tesla taxis on the streets next year. These bold claims certainly stirred up some feelings among autonomous vehicle experts and industry leaders.
On Friday, Velodyne president Marta Hall released a long statement — with a lot of ALL CAPS — defending her company’s main product, LiDAR sensors for autonomous vehicles. While acknowledging Tesla’s good work with electrification and car design, she shredded Musk’s “claims” about deploying Teslas without a driver and without “lame” LiDAR sensors. Tesla only uses cameras, ultrasonic sensors, and a radar unit for its sensor suite. Read more…

If you’re annoyed by Gmail’s cluttered design, you’re not alone. Its lead designer from 2008 to 2012, Michael Leggett, recently spoke to Fast Company about how much it bugs him — and how he built a Chrome extension to fix the problem.
SEE ALSO: Google Pay can import airline miles, reward points, and more from Gmail now
Leggett created Simplify Gmail, a free Chrome extension that removes all icons from the left and right sides of the home screen. Every chat, folder, starred email, and add-on is gone. The Gmail logo at the top of the screen is also removed. In the end, you’re left with a nice, clear view of your primary inbox — and not much else. Read more…

Apple has considered buying Intel’s smartphone modem business in what would be one of the iPhone maker’s biggest acquisitions ever.
That’s according to a new story in the the Wall Street Journal, which reports that the two companies have held talks since last year, though those conversations recently “stalled.”
From the report:
A multibillion dollar acquisition would be one of Apple’s largest (the current record for the company is its $3 billion Beats acquisition) and would have significant ramifications for the iPhone. Apple has been working on its own chips for some time, but gaining Intel’s patents and engineers could help them accelerate those plans. It could also help insulate Apple in the event of another legal dispute or other supply issue. Read more…

Average Uber driver hourly pay: Less than $19 per hour.
Based on an updated SEC filing, the company is worth up to $90 billion. And drivers are realizing they won’t see much of it unless they’ve driven a lot for the ride-hailing company.
SEE ALSO: Uber beats Lyft with IPO payout to drivers
The official Uber IPO is expected by the second week of May and will trade on the New York Stock Exchange with the ticker symbol “UBER.” While Uber outlined a $300 million payout plan for 1.1 million Uber drivers, some of the contract workers that literally drive the company’s core service also want more transparency, better wages, and more benefits like health care and higher earning potential.

Arguably the best part about jamming out to some tunes is being able to scream the lyrics.
But some musicians really make you work for it. Chronic offenders of the Incomprehensible Lyrics Club include Patrick Stump, Elton John, and The 1975.
We shouldn’t place all the blame on our favorite artists, though — sometimes it’s our own shitty ears that mishear a word or phrase. Even when we learn the right lyrics, it’s already wormed and lodged itself into our brains, and nothing can ever stop you from singing “All the lonely Starbucks lovers” to Taylor Swift’s “Blank Space” again.
Some are Freudian slips. Some are just hilarious, distorted misunderstandings. Here are our favorites. Read more…

Slack knows a lot about you, and it realizes that could one day be a serious problem.
The company behind the messaging service used by media organizations, tech behemoths, and Fortune 500 companies around the world published its plan to go public on April 26, and the document paints a detailed picture of the company’s hopes and fears. One fear, in particular, is of note: a Facebook-style privacy disaster.
SEE ALSO: Slack made it harder to know if your boss is reading your DMs
Buried deep in the “risk factors” section of the prospectus — along concerns of hackers and market changes — lies the explicit worry that a severe privacy misstep by the company could result in grave harm to the business. No one, after all, wants to trust their personal data to a company that repeatedly betrays their trust. Read more…
