Doc Sportello's JournalSuccession - WOW (spoiler)
I can honestly say I have never seen a series pull off something like that. To me a truly historic moment in tv history. In the third episode of the final season they kill off the main character. There are seven more to go. And the way they did it was unque too. Brave.
Anti-vaccine activist (and pal of trumpers) Robert Kennedy Jr announces run for president
I lost any respect for RFK Jr. years ago as well as interest in him, so was unaware of his paling around with traitors like Roger Stone and Michael Flynn and election deniers. Oh, his anti-vaccine "charity" had almost $7M in revenue while targeting vulnerable populations with their disinformation. I posted this not as an announcement story but because it includes facts about his recent and disgusting past.

In 2021, Kennedy released a book, The Real Anthony Fauci, in which he accused the top infectious disease doctor of assisting in “a historic coup d’etat against western democracy” and promoted unproven Covid treatments such as ivermectin, which is meant to treat parasites, and the anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine.
His push against the Covid vaccine has linked him with anti-democratic figures and groups. Kennedy has appeared at events pushing the lie that the 2020 presidential election was stolen and with people who cheered or downplayed the insurrection at the US Capitol on 6 January 2021.
His anti-vaccine charity, Children’s Health Defense, prospered, with revenues more than doubling in 2020 to $6.8m, according to filings with charity regulators.
The organization has targeted false claims at groups that may be more prone to distrust the vaccine, including mothers and Black Americans, experts have said, which could have resulted in deaths during the pandemic.
