One of his latest posts popped up on tiktok just yesterday I think. On a private jet with a hot bird pouring him champagne or something and an entourage. Tagging in tinder swindler and thanking them.
It's made him even more successful it seems.

Well either the Tinder Swindler was completely full of shit or he's got a set of brass balls on him like nobody else.

@antipodean yeah when you look at the actual transgressions as well, it's pretty "HUH??".

Just finished the Netflix doc about the 737 Max (Downfall: Case against Boeing).
Really worrying to see that the data was there and wasn't considered.
I can't imagine what that situation would be like for the pilots (plane starts plunging down due to a system you've never heard of and had no training about).
I'd be interested to hear the thoughts of some of the pilots on here @Snowy etc.

It is fucking terrifying. The way the US air business is basically self regulated is frightening. Same sort of shit happens in RAF, when a nimrod went down a few years ago. But things got a big shake up then!
Ejection seats are awesome

2/3s of the way through "Phat Tuesday" on Amazon
A funny light documentary on the black comedy night started at the Comedy Store in LA, at a time when there weren't a huge amount of opportunities for Black comics. As a guy of a certain age, it's jam packed full of 90s nostalgia, and goddam did some famous people perform there
Also, Snoop is stoned as a mother fucker and still smoking through his interview.

Jimmy Saville - A British Horror Story Netflix doc about celebrity paedophile Jimmy Saville and how he avoided exposure for 60+ years.
Sleaze-ball and clever sex abuser who was smart enough to avoid being caught in his lifetime. A lot of people knew, but no-one could prove anything - not even top investigative journalists. Compelling watch.

Yeah wasn’t it just ?
Massive kudos to the woman who was interviewed and told us all what Savile did to her as a child in extremely graphic detail. Absolute sick fluffybunny.
The Royals, Thatcher and all those other fuckwits should hang their heads for not realising ( or caring ) what he was up to. I suppose the ratings and money raised were just too much to lose.
Seeing him interviewed it was so clear what a manipulative, functional sociopath he was and how he would have genuinely believed all the money he raised evened up the ledger in terms of getting away ( in his mind ) with all the depraved shit he did.
It’s an absolute tragedy that he died without facing any consequences for his actions.
I’m not the biggest Sex Pistols fan but Johnny Rotten is bang on here.

To be fair, the inquiries found they and many others simply weren't told. There were complaints at the BBC & hospitals but virtually none of them were passed to management as they were thought to be gossip which an eccentric like Saville generated, or were part of his act.
"He remembers seeing JS put his hand down the front of a female patient's clothing. Mr A was not able to recall her taking exception to this alleged behaviour. "He did not raise his concerns about JS's alleged behaviour, as he initially thought it was all part of the act."
He hid in plain sight and in his own words: "I'm not clever, I'm tricky.Clever people get caught, tricky people don't". He manipulated the whole country.

Yeah he was obviously extremely calculating and patient to get away with it like he did.
Still, as Johnny Rotten said others were part of it too.

There was probably shit-loads of stuff going on with other celebs we'll never find out about.

Absolutely. That guy from Stars in their eyes absolutely oozed creepiness as one example.

Just look at Rolf Harris for one. Cosby is another.
Weinstein for the trifecta. Polanski? Clearly an endemic problem
