RIP Julian LeFay, 59 is too young.

And RIP Malcolm-Jamal Warner too. Been a rough week that we've lost three loved entertainers.

At least he was old. Malcolm should have had a couple more decades.

Good.

He was a notoriously evil racist, was alleged to have commit almost ric flair levels of sexual assault over the years, and has an argument for singlehandedly killing the unionization of pro wrestling and leading to the modern "independent contractor" mess.

The high levels of sodium will make you retain the water. I suggest drinking lots of water, then chugging some coconut water and/or coffee. Let your feelings flow.

He did get Gawker Media shut down, which should be a plus. But he used Peter Thiel's money to do it, which muddies the waters a bit....

[–] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 70 points 1 week ago (7 children)

“Hard cases make bad laws”

Whatever one thinks of Gawker, its demise is a footnote next to the precedent it set in muzzling investigative journalism that discomfits the powerful.

The craziest thing about HH is that Donald John Trump is in the Epstein files.

Ozzy Osbourne dies

Everyone: Oh, that sucks!

Hulk Hogan dies

Everyone: Oh well. Moving on.

[–] gonf@lemmy.world 65 points 1 week ago (6 children)

It's almost like if you want to be remembered fondly, you have to not be a piece of shit while you're alive.

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 24 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Or as Andrew Carnegie showed, be somewhat less of a piece of shit just before you die.

The only Hulk I'll mourn is who I thought he was when I was a kid. I already lost that Hulk years ago though.

The world lost a legendary entertainer, someone who played an integral part of my childhood and helped develop my taste in the arts.

God bless you, Ozzy Osbourne.

[–] Rurik@lemmy.world 49 points 1 week ago

Nothing of value lost. Still sucks about Ozzy though :(

Not just a magat, he was truly a piece of shit in his life, he also snitched to prevent a union from forming for professional wrestlers. Cared about no one but himself his entire life.

He was at the RNC last year and ripped off his shirt to reveal a MAGA or Trump shirt (I think it was one of those but it was definitely pro Trump even if it wasn't directly MAGA or Trump text). So he was definitely an asshole. Even for more reasons than just being MAGA.

[–] Chookitypok@piefed.social 32 points 1 week ago

MAGA to the gills.

The only thing I'm thankful for is that his last public appearance is getting Booed to high hell at WWE.

[–] Chainweasel@lemmy.world 29 points 1 week ago

Rest in Piss, fascist dick bag.

Did they make sure his arm dropped 3 times? If they stopped checking at 2 he might still be alive.

Cardiac Arrest

Turns out all those times he was ripping his shirt off, it was just because of chest pains.
