Manhattan Billionaires Apartment Building is a Nightmare
432 Park Ave is only 5 years old and was built to be the biggest (tallest really) and the best (apartments sold for as much as $88 mil). But The NYT reports that building is falling apart because its quest to be super different resulted in design flaws aplenty. Plumbing issues (no shock there), elevator problems (duh) and creaky walls are just a few of the complaints.
Maybe they should have built it taller and skinnier and charge more money? Would that help??
Someone Hacked Colonoscopy Results
Someone hacked patient names and colonoscopy results from hospitals and posted them to the dark web.
Who’s the asshole who did this? Now we all look like assholes.

Lucky for Jamaicans cause their weed stinks.

60 Minutes Producer Says Most Of The Correspondents Were Talented Assholes
In his new book, 60 Minutes producer Ira Rosen claims that Mike Wallace constantly stole stories from Ed Bradley and Morley Safir; Diane Sawyer was ‘two-faced’ when dealing with Barbara Walters, Chris Cuomo was ‘a son of a bitch‘ and Katie Couric was ‘lazy and disengaged’. But Rosen concluded that he ‘rather work with a talented asshole than a nice one without talent.’ Working with talented assholes always pays better too.

Super Bowl to Look Very Madden-y This Year. On Purpose.
So many changes with this year’s Super Bowl- including how it will look on television. CBS will be using more cameras, placing them closer than ever before, and even using special tech that will make many shots look more like a video game than televised live sports. And because there are fewer fans, there’s more room for more cameras. Wired reports that the first 3 rows will have no fans- only media- with more cameras that are higher resolution than we’ve seen before. 120 cameras will be used as opposed to around 20 used in a regular game. Resolution will be 8xs higher than have ever been used in a football game.
Madden TV this year. Let’s hope next year’s Super Bowl will be more like an Colecovision football game.

The awesome on-field shots on FOX’s broadcast of #Seahawks–#WashingtonFootball Team are courtesy of this contraption the crew nicknames “The Megalodon.” Here it is. And here’s Mike Smole, who is operating it today. He calls it a “poor man’s Steadicam.” We should all be so poor. pic.twitter.com/RWuYjeaBCe

Lou Dobbs Cancelled
Trump’s biggest defender is done at Fox News. This decision comes hot on the heels of Dobbs being named a defendant in a defamation lawsuit by election system Smartmatic. No reason other than ‘regular programming changes’ was given for the decision.
Yeah, regular programming changes, nothing to do with a 2.7 billion lawsuit. Right.

Guy Didn’t Know He Was Using Dog Shampoo for Months
Last week this bro tweeted that he’s been using dog shampoo for months and didn’t know it, even though there was a picture of a dog on the bottle.
Oh great, we finally found one of Chris Stanley’s burner accounts. Hey Jon Kay. Wink. Got it.
so it turns out I've been using dog shampoo on my hair for the last few months. (I only discovered it when I ran out and needed to get more.) this is partly my own fault but it doesnt help that @ArmandHammer has the word "pets" in like 4-pt typeface. I'm guessing this is common pic.twitter.com/SHEaDrEW7J

"but Jon, is has a pic of a dog!"
doesn't mean anything. Lots of shampoos i used in the past have pictures of waterfalls, or people cleaning dishes, or gauzily drawn women frolicking in pastures, or dudes under waterfalls with chests provocatively projected outwards, or whatever— Jonathan Kay (@jonkay) January 31, 2021
