A judge has denied Meta’s request to dismiss a lawsuit brought against it by early employee Kelly Stonelake. U.S. District Judge Barbara Rothstein, who is overseeing the case, ruled this month that parts of Stonelake’s suit had merit, and the case will move forward. “I hope this ruling encourages others who have experienced discrimination and toxic workplace cultures to consider the courts as one way to push for justice and accountability,” Stonelake said in a statement given to TechCrunch.

‘Alien: Earth’ Creator Says Its Eyeball Alien Is The Most Disturbing Thing You’ll See All Year

Hulu’s Alien: Earth series has emerged as one of the most refreshing and inventive entries in the long-running sci-fi series. While xenomorphs clashing with synthetics is familiar territory, the real scene-stealer (aside from Timothy Olyphant) is The Eye—a parasitic, tentacled nightmare that has slithered straight into viewers’ psyches.
