The article criticizes recent media coverage portraying Mark Zuckerberg as “cool” again based on his success with Threads and a shirtless photo he posted. The author argues that Zuckerberg’s photo looks like that of a middle-aged man cheating on his wife, and that Threads’ success is questionable given it is mostly used by journalists and brands. The author concludes that despite any business success, Zuckerberg’s role in Facebook’s issues make him unlikely to ever be truly “cool”, and urges journalists to stop describing him as experiencing a “Hot Zuck Summer”.

    Here is an Iron Law I have learned from two decades on Facebook: If you are 39 years old and married with two children, you do not get this ripped unless you are deeply unhappy.

    Oh man, that hurt.

      Yeah just because the author is fat and lazy and is surrounded by fat and lazy friends doesn’t make this true. This is one of those telling on yourself comments.

      Weird. I’d say the correlation is much stronger that people who try to tear down others for fitness accomplishments tend to be more likely to be “deeply unhappy.”

      If anything, poor health is a more reliable indicator of unhappiness.

      Or maybe, hear me out, he has enough time and money to dedicate to taking care of his body. This article is a super petty attack.
