Kevin Spacey is gay and a sexual assailant. Heard an interview on NPR earlier this week saying that it's likely that he's about to be the next Harvey Weinstein in terms of the seriousness of the allegations against him. So far there's just one, but apparently this was another 'well-known secret' type deal.

Actually, several other people have already come forward, iirc

That's what I get for only keeping up with celeb news on NPR.

I got too disgusted to follow up on the story after he spun the sexual assault allegations into a boo-hoo poor me oh-so-brave coming out statement. loving vomit.

Manafort proposes $12.5 million bail package
Assets to be pledged include Trump Tower apartment.

Former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort is offering to post $12.5 million-worth of assets — including his Trump Tower apartment — as part of a bail package to ensure that he appears for the trial he's facing on charges of money laundering and failing to register as a foreign lobbyist, Manafort's defense team said Saturday.

Dominos old mascot.


quote:

On January 30, 1989, Kenneth Lamar Noid, a mentally ill man who thought the ads were a personal attack on him, held two employees of an Atlanta Domino's restaurant hostage for over five hours. After forcing them to make him a special pizza and a salad and making demands for $100,000, getaway transportation, and a copy of The Widow's Son, Noid surrendered to the police.[5] After the incident ended, Police Chief Reed Miller offered an assessment to reporters: "He's para-Noid."[6] Noid was charged with kidnapping, aggravated assault, extortion, and possession of a firearm during a crime. He was found not guilty by reason of insanity. Noid spent three months in a mental institution, but eventually committed suicide in 1995. This incident caused Domino's Pizza to discontinue advertising using the Noid as their mascot.[7]

Third. Also

quote:

Starting in 1973 Domino's Pizza had a guarantee that customers would receive their pizzas within 30 minutes of placing an order or they would receive the pizzas free until the mid-1980s when it was reduced to $3 off. This resulted in delivery drivers driving recklessly

Why would the drivers drive recklessly to save Dominos a pizza? (who am I kidding. They probably got no pay and had to pay Dominos the full price of the pizza)

He was a mascot/villain for domino's pizza. Like he'd represent things about takeout pizza that annoyed you like them being soggy or cold or late or something but then dominos would beat him up and say they solved that problem. The slogan was "avoid the noid", then a schizophrenic man with the last name noid went into a dominos with a gun and held people hostage and tried to make them stop telling people to avoid him then he later killed himself and dominos was like "oh geez" and didn't really ever use the noid again even though he was super popular.

Also dominos bought a weird super japanese NES game and rebranded it as the noid game and it was shockingly good and it was the 80s so no one knew it was rebranded and it was just this baffling thing where the domino's pizza videogame was actually super fun.
