Facebook created a workplace where employees openly mocked a guy for being as ancient as 50 years old, at least according to the ex-worker who's suing. 
Gary Glouner says he worked under the Facebook umbrella for 2 years, and during that time was the butt of many ageist jokes. According to the documents, obtained by TMZ, the age cracks included:
- "Old people shouldn't be working at Facebook; they just don't relate"
- "Old people are just creepy"
- "Old people don't belong at Facebook"

Glouner says Mark Zuckerberg himself made public comments in 2007 where he said, "Young people are just smarter." He adds ... the ageism was institutional because during an HR presentation they displayed a chart highlighting the low energy of employees in their 50s.
Worst of all, he says his co-workers in their 20s and 30s always got cake and group celebrations -- while he got bupkis. Glouner says his boss told him they didn't want to embarrass him by highlighting his advanced age. We've reached out to Facebook, no word back.

  The Trump administration deported eight migrants from Djibouti to South Sudan on Friday, following a series of fast-moving legal battles and despite warnings from their attorneys that they face the risk of torture, imprisonment, or even death. The deportation went ahead after a federal judge in Massachusetts denied an emergency request by the migrants' lawyers to block their removal. U.S. District Judge Brian E. Murphy wrote that a recent Supreme Court ruling allowing the deportations to proceed was “binding” and that the legal arguments before him were “substantially similar” to those already decided. A spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security praised the decision, stating on social media, “Law and order prevails,” and described the migrants as “barbaric criminals.” The administration had previously blamed “activist judges” for delays in carrying out the deportations. Legal Challenges and Human Rights Concerns The eight migrants, detained in Djibouti for weeks, i...
