Who is Hasbullah?: A charismatic viral video star, an exotic foreign super soldier for attention in the influencer economy? If you’ve spent a certain amount of time on the internet, you’ve undoubtedly grown to know and love Hasbulla Magomedov, the Dagestani Russian who stands just over three feet tall and has become one of the most beloved men on the web. By all accounts he seems like an upstanding fellow, with a deep appreciation for cats and limited English-language abilities
Texas Shooting Suspect On the Lam: This murderous moron executed his neighbor’s entire family after they asked him to stop shooting off rounds in his yard and then has somehow eluded the capture of the big bad cops down in Texas. Francisco Oropeza, a 38-year old man, fled the scene after the shooting Friday night that left five people dead, including an 8-year-old boy. The attack was the latest act of gun violence in what has been a record pace of mass shootings in the only country that allows it to happen with such regularity
What (NOT) To Watch: There are good movies, and bad movies, and some movies are so bad they’re good, and some are actually so bad they’re truly unwatchable. Such is the case with this Nicolas Cage-led horror/comedy(?) “Drive Angry”, which is really a direct ripoff of Fast and Furious, but much worse. The story involves the rare combination of predictable plot, atrociously-written dialogue, and terrible attempts at Southern accents, the trifecta of tropes destined to sink any ship. Do NOT watch this movie, 0/10, no redeeming qualities
