Tim Cook and Mark Zuckerberg Square Off
Facebook is furious at Apple. The short version of this complicated stalemate is that Apple’s new operating system is allowing users to see what information companies collect about them while browsing, and allows those users to opt out. Facebook is in trouble because that data collection is exactly how they make their money.
Regardless of how this fight ends, consumers will lose.
This is Hannibal Lecter vs Darth Vadar. Choose your dark overlord.

How crazy is that sentence? Dr. Fauci corrected Joe Rogan this week after Rogan said on his podcast that he can’t think of a reason why young people should get vaccinated. Fauci says even healthy young people could still spread COVID-19 to others and so they should get the vax.
Next week Fauci plans to tell us what he thinks of Bill Burr’s Monday Morning Podcast.

Leslie Jones Strong Arms Anthony Jesenik
Jeselnik wasn’t naming names when he told the story on a podcast about how Leslie Jones pushed him off his own headling show at Supernova Comedy Club. But someone on Reddit filled in the gaps. While Jeselnik was waiting to go on stage, Jones showed up and asked if she could do ten minutes, bumping Anthony back 10 mins. She reportedly refused to introduce the comic after her ten. Some bad history between the two left her feeling like she couldn’t give him an enthusiastic intro, so she declined. She then ran the light, by about half an hour, leaving Jeselnik in a bad spot.
Leslie Jones will have a comeback as soon as Lenny Marcus writes one for her.
John Mayer Working On a Late Night Music Talk Show

He also prayed for a “dishonest, corrupt, criminal, power-abusing monster-gang of Satan-worshippers”, otherwise known as Andrew Cuomo, Mayor Bill de Blasio and Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.
Thank god he didn’t go over the top.
Butt Hurt Entourage Creator Will NEVER Forgive HBO
Doug Ellin, who created the HBO hit series Entourage is accusing the network of giving his show the cold shoulder because the series doesn’t fit in with today’s Righteous PC Culture climate.
“I resent it tremendously,” Ellin said. He also says he will “never forgive them for” passing on a pilot he did with Michael Imperioli, Michael Rapaport and Ed Burns. “Whether they thought it was good or not, I earned my chance to have a second shot.”
I wouldn’t complain about a cold shoulder Doug. Wasn’t this the same show where Ari Gold was harassing women off camera as well as on camera?

An IHOP Hostess is crushed that she didn’t recognize Adam Sandler when he tried to get a table at an IHOP. She told him there was a 30 minute wait, and he left. She posted “Pleaseee come back,” on her TikTok.
