May he recover as much as possible. He seemed like a nice guy.

Investors win big on bounce from the bottom - Axios

" MOSCOW President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia was inoculated against the coronavirus on Tuesday, the Kremlin said, ending months of holding out against being vaccinated even while promoting his country's domestically made shots." N.Y. Times

Would you be willing to bet your 401 (k) on the proposition that the street savvy mobster, that is worth north of $200 billion, no f@ucking way got injected with the Sputnik vaccine or any other vaccine produced in Russia?
He would sooner book a flight for he and his mistress on Aeroflot Airlines.
He absolutely bought some black market Moderna, Pfizer or Johnson & Johnson from Sasha Baron Cohen.

That's fantastic!
Thank you!

Looks like the pilots are standing over on the left where the hill comes down a few seconds into it.

Ah, geez.
So sick of liars and fraudsters.

Are there any decent people left?

Well, I like Drew Shiller's apology just now! on Warriors PreGame live.
It was an honest mistake and he made no bones about it - moving on!

It would be awesome if someone bum-rushed that SOB and made it so they had to close the venue.

Carvey is awesome. Thats the funniest thing i've seen in a long time

I remember him as a standout at The Punchline SF. in the early 80's. His success was not surprising.

I was going to make a quip, "we're any of the victims named Trump?"
But I actually think it would be interesting to classify the shooters and the shootees into Trumpets and BLM/antifa types, and charting the results on a timescale.

Wow, can't believe this work. So glad this whole ordeal is over.

I bet that is a cataclysmic coupling.

I can't end this week before noting one of the more interesting stories of the week.

You may have heard of viral Twitter Cinnamon Toast Crunch guy.

On Monday and Tuesday, Jensen Karp went viral for this tweet.

This led to a back and forth with Cinnamon Toast Crunch and General Mills.

The Los Angeles Times picked up the story.

Then The New York Times pick up the story.

The internet soon learned that Karp is married to Topanga from Boy Meets World.

For about 12 hours, "Topanga" was the No. 1 trending topic in the United States.

It also was revealed that he was once a white rapper named Hot Karl.



And that he was executive producer on a TBS reality show called Drop the Mic, which he produces with James Corden.




Then it was revealed that John Mayer was at his wedding.




By Wednesday, however, things took a turn for the worst for Karp. Several women and exes and co-workers started tweeting about how abusive he was with them.

And that he is the type of guy who would actually lie about finding shrimp tails in his cereal.

Finally, The Daily Beast wrote a story detailing all the allegations of abuse and toxic behavior.

Meanwhile, Karp hasn't tweeted in 3 days.

Oh, yeah, then there was a reminder that his wife bullied a black co-star and called her Aunt Jemima, which she apologized last year after George Floyd was killed.

Anyways, what an interesting story!!!!

Regarding Shrimp Dude Topanga Guy: I think the whole thing is a scripted theater performance. But instead of a stage or set, it's on social media. I bet all of the old girlfriends are actors and it's some kind of commentary on fame and media and cancel culture and toxic masculinity.

They'll have to make up a new award for it at the Oscars.

Cinnamon Toast Crunch is loving the pub. Folks are buying up boxes to see if they get shrimp tails or clamshells in their cereal.

Want to book Donald or Melania for an event? Trump has a website for that


https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/mar/30/donald-trump-melania-website-events?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other


*In 1959/1960 my dad took me to see Marshall Dillion (James Arness) at the opening of a supermarket next to Oakland Tech HS. I remember Marshall Dillion was on a hay wagon signing autographs. Just think, 60 years from now an old man will remember when his dad took him as a little boy to see tRump and Melatonin at the opening of a KFC in a golf cart, signing autographs (and tRump dressed like the Col.)

Cool story about James Arness. Trump's new website has a place to book the Trumps for an event. Book The Trumps For Your Next KFC Opening Or Foreclosure I guess you could invite them to a KFC opening now, though I think chances are better a few years down the road after his house of cards business dealings collapse.

You can also request condolences on the COVID-19 deaths of your loved ones.

I was amused to find Trump giving a gruff salute to the Power Rangers.

It is an interesting story, and it mostly makes me not care, but I did want to chime in to make this tangential point (and it is extremely tangential).

It is okay to yell at people when they mess up, and when you get yelled at after messing up, it is your fault. Your incompetence or oversight negatively impacted someone else's life, you have no right to do that, and therefore you deserve to feel bad for a time.

Point being, I dont like the trend that society is banning the expression of anger. Anger is a normal, healthy response. Just because you yelled at someone who cut you off, or broke something that was yours, does not mean you should have to apologize or be a labeled as abusive

Paul Simon is the latest to dump his song catalogue.....to Sony for a as of yet undisclosed sum.

"In December, Bob Dylan sold his catalog of more than 600 songs to Universal Music for more than $300 million. Neil Young sold half of his copyrights to Hipgnosis Songs Fund for a price estimated at $150 million, and Stevie Nicks sold a majority of her rights in a deal that valued her catalog at $100 million."

*In the future, the artists of today will have nothing anyone will be interested in buying.
