I love seeing this. That politicians or people who step up for public office & study history, practice an Art, engage in the outdoors; have an interior life of depth instead of seeking political affirmation. It makes them better people. Makes them better political leaders. A rounded human being.

i know we've all laughed about the worm and the affair but this is a profoundly dangerous person who should be expelled from the government.
Breaking News: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he personally instructed the CDC to abandon its position that vaccines do not cause autism. The move underscores his determination to challenge scientific orthodoxy — in this case, that vaccines save lives — and bend the health department to his will.
RFK Jr. Says He Instructed CDC to Change Vaccines and Autism Language on Website
In an interview, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. cited gaps in vaccine safety research. His critics say he is ignoring a larger point: Vaccines save lives.

The simple answer for why Funko failed is private equity.
They were bought by a private equity firm (and later sold to another).
Everything private equity touches ends up degraded or destroyed.
They squeeze every dollar out and leave the desiccated corpse for someone else to deal with.

It's hard to overstate what a catastrophe it would be for moviemaking and moviegoers if the Ellisons are allowed to acquire Warner Brothers and merge it with Paramount. I know that rooting for Comcast and/or Netflix sticks in a lot of throats here but those would be far better alternatives... >
