wonder what exactly it was about Metta World Peace that made him a legendary athlete

the famously lucky Kennedy Brothers invite you on a three hour cruise, a three hour cruise

Metta World Peace negotiations in crisis resolution - 2pm

what is the purpose of this cruise, besides a 'sweepstakes'? is it a fundraiser? And, if so, does that mean he's still running for president somehow?

(Will there be roadkill served in the galley?)

Saw that live on TV. Underrated line watching that clip again- “Pacers are playing a very intelligent game tonight…”. Ha.

Is that Shazam guy a wingnut?

Apparently Adam Baldwin led him to find god, and then he went to stranger places. Or something like that.

Which is going to take more passengers on this cruise, COVID or norovirus?

or Metta World Peace?

did Tim Dillon drop out or was that a different cruise?

Cheryl Hines

Levi identifies as a libertarian. In January 2023, he agreed with a tweet that said "Do you agree or not, that Pfizer is a real danger to the world?", leading to allegations of echoing anti-vaccine sentiment. He endorsed Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in the 2024 United States presidential election.

In October 2023, following the outbreak of the 2023 Israel-Hamas War in Gaza, Levi was one of the signatories of an open letter supporting the Israeli military, published by the pro-Israel organization Creative Community For Peace.

I voted too soon

i voted for him but i thought it was a different guy

i dont really know who that guy is but he sounds bad

Drea all day every day.

Jeremy Piven did some earlier RFK fundraisers. Wonder if he's still on board, literally and figuratively.

Drea's anti-vax, but she can do what she wants.

He’s the star of the Harold and the Purple Crayon movie

February 2024, pre-bear story:

The A Night of Laughter With RFK Jr. & Friends evening at the Million Dollar Theater included performances by Jeremy Piven, Bobby Lee, Rob Schneider, Tre Stewart, Mike Binder, Erica Rhodes, Dustin Ybarra and radio host and podcaster Adam Carolla.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

So, now he’s outta the race, is he still doing this?

jesus christ, even the Catalina Caper was able to get Little Richard as a special guest

now i'm reading about tommy kirk

Kirk's career with Disney ended when news of his homosexuality threatened to become public. He struggled with drug addiction and depression for several years, appearing in a series of low-budget films before leaving the acting business in the mid-1970s. Kirk opened a carpet cleaning business and lived a mostly ordinary life, occasionally appearing at fan conventions. He died at his home in Las Vegas, Nevada, in September 2021, aged 79.

then in the sidebar:

Died September 28, 2021 (aged 79)
(date body found)

i mean that's definitely what i want my biography to look like when i'm gone

In April 1956, 14-year-old Kirk was cast as Joe Hardy for The Mickey Mouse Club serial The Hardy Boys, alongside Tim Considine as Frank Hardy.

can't believe one of the Hardy Boys is gay

also bi it turns out

In 2017, while being interviewed for an online talk radio show, Kirk confessed that he regards himself as bisexual. "I have had relations with women too. I am not just gay, I am—I happen to be both, I would say. Like many people."[43]

love the framing on this, "confessed" like being bi is some major source of shame. btw if anybody wants to argue that mr. kirk's statement that he's both gay and bisexual doesn't make logical sense, i'm a lesbian who also likes men.

i realize none of this has anything to do with the RFK cruise, which may or may not happen. mainly i wondered this hypothetical: if tommy kirk were alive, would he appear as a special guest on rfk's Lana Sirtis cruise? i'd speculate "no", but it's purely a hypothetical.
