Mr. McMahon Leaves The Ring
An awful lot of my friends and colleagues know far, far more about the specifics of the world of professional wrestling than I do. With passions and opinions usually reserved for family or politics, they can debate the legitimacy and premeditation of any Wrestlemania from the last several decades, which talents were destined for their
Lies, Damn Lies And Sadistics
Half measures availed us nothing. Anyone who had ever attended a twelve-step meeting, as I publicly admit I have attended many over many decades, has uttered these words with at least some degree of reverence. I know when I don’t act, I stagnate, and said stagnation nearly cost me my life. In the past 24
Three.0 To Get Ready…
I’ve been spending way too much time recently debating randomly with staunch defenders of work-from-home policies and social distancing, Even entrepreneurs and CEOs, using images where they defiantly stare into a selfie camera in front of a computer in what is obviously a comfortable workspace ALONE, are determined to defend their belief to someone as
Gray Days Ahead For Netflix?
I’m consistently perplexed at the gravitas that certain media companies seem to have with an investment community that appears disproportionately inclined to believe they have upside.

With every passing Monday night this summer, an era of quality television for basic cable may be winding down for good with a victory lap that continues to improve with each new episode.

My high school, John Bowne of Flushing,New York, has produced a number of noted TV executives over its 58-year history, some of whom I’ve
Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?
While the TV show of that name has gone away yet again, the desire, I believe, remains consistent with anyone who isn’t already one. And when it comes to businesses connected to cannabis, the opportunities to become one are growing as quickly as the number of legal states and the quality and breadth of those
A Change In Plans, To Be Blunt
So you remember this week began with a call to action about an NFT conference? (Feel free to refresh your memory via the link at the bottom if you’ve already forgotten). Well, everything I rattled off about the opportunties and benefits of NFTs are true, but let’s just say for a variety of reasons not
Listen Up, Pig Snout
Oh, my darling quaran-tine Barbara Ferrer. You sure picked the wrong day to have yet another press conference drumrolling what YOU now see is the inevitable return to indoor mask mandates in Los Angeles County, which you currently serve as an overpaid, underqualfiied regurgitator of goosed-up statistics relating to percentages of new reported cases of
