South Park: Jeff Bezos' Amazon.com

I'm not a UFO alien freak, right? Hahaha

(SouthScope) South Park's shocking new episode just destroyed multi-billionaire and corporate egomaniac Jeff Bezos, Mr. Amazon, whose beautiful marriage to L.A. Latina Lauren Sanchez shocked the world and upset the economy of Florence, Italy.

Jeffrey Preston Bezos (né Jorgensen, born Jan. 12, 1964) is an American businessman best known as the founder, executive chairman, and former president and CEO of Amazon.com, the world's largest e-commerce and cloud computing company.

According to Forbes, as of May 2025, Bezos's estimated net worth exceeded $220 billion, making him the third richest person in the world [3]. He was the wealthiest person from 2017 to 2021, according to Forbes and the Bloomberg Billionaires Index [4][5]. More

May Day 2025 protests roil US, world

'May Day' marches and protests underway around the world

There are two "May Days" today

International Workers' Day observed on May 1st and is also called "May Day" but the two have different histories: May Day is a European festival of ancient origins marking the beginning of summer, usually celebrated on May 1, around halfway between the Northern Hemisphere's spring equinox and midsummer solstice [1, 2]

Festivities are also held the night before, known as May Eve. Traditions include:

• gathering green branches and wildflowers ("bringing in the May") [3], which are used to decorate buildings and made into wreaths;
• crowning a May Queen, sometimes with a male companion (to Jack in the Green) decked in greenery;
• setting up a Maypole, May Tree, or May Bush, around which people dance and sing;
• as well as parades and processions involving these [4].
• Bonfires are also a major part of the festival in some regions.

Regional varieties and related traditions include Walpurgis Night in central and northern Europe [1], the Gaelic festival Beltane [5], the Welsh festival Calan Mai [5], and May devotions to the Blessed Virgin Mary (of Catholic, Christian, Jewish but mostly imperial Roman fame). May Day has also been associated with the ancient Roman festival Floralia [6]. More

Last Week Tonight: Mr. Pink doesn't TIP

Tipping: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver

WARNING: Obscenity, profanity! Quentin Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs | Mr. Pink doesn't tip

Eww!! I would never date Steve Buscemi!

(LastWeekTonight) March 2, 2025: #23 on Trending. Mr. Pink (Steve Buscemi) has a point. Back in the day, T.I.P.S. meant a gratuity or bribe "to insure prompt service." Now it's obligatory, perfunctory, and promoted by women on dates to test men and the demonstrated generosity of their suitors.

("If he ain't tipping her, ya think he's gonna treat you like the princess that you are? Think about it!") Tip on dates, get lucky? Tip really well, and she'll glue herself to you, and the restaurant will welcome you back like a loser in Las Vegas? Quentin-ji explains it so much better in this tightly written, if vulgar, scene from Reservoir Dogs (not to be confused with the glorious Reservation Dogs).

John Oliver discusses tipping, why it’s more complicated and fraught than customers might realize, how we can address some of the issues surrounding it, and whether or not he deserves 25% at the end of this story.

PUNK: Dead Kennedys: 'Life Sentence'?

DEAD KENNEDYS - "Life Sentence" via Seconds, Aug. 23, 2007: Live Broadway, Summer 1984

DEAD KENNEDYS: "Life Sentence" studio version from Give Me Convenience OR Give Me Death

For this ditty, singer-lyricist Jello Biafra fronts the classic San Francisco punk rock ensemble the Dead Kennedys (DKs), talking about our lives and the way we sell out to The Man (school, work, bank, not literal jails just figurative ones) without realizing it.

LYRICS: "Life Sentence"

Used to be a partner-in-crime

Now you say you ain't got the time

Gotta get serious, gotta plan

Gotta pass those entrance exams!

Oh my gosh, it's your senior year

All you care about is your career

[CHORUS]

It's your life sentence, life sentence

Life sentence, life sentence

You're squelching your emotions

All you talk about is those times

You don't do what you want to

But you do the same thing every day!

No sense of humor

But such good manners

Now you're an adult

You're boring!

[Chorus]

The walls (ah ah) are closing in

You stayed (ay ay) too long in school

I'd rather stay a child and keep my self-respect

If being an adult means being like you

Ah, ah

Are you really you, you, you?

You, you, you

You, you, you

Are you really you? No!

You're a chained-up dog fenced in a yard

Don't say much, you can't go far

Pace and forth, you're getting sick

Run too fast, it'll snap your neck!

Say you'll break out, you never do

You're just another ant in the hill

[Chorus]
