Axios: A Tampa-area man lost his job at a marketing and web design company after a TikTok user exposed his video advertising a fake COVID-19 vaccine card business. James Koncar’s fake vaccination card video — which included the caption “F*ck masks” — was highlighted by Mississippi pharmacist Savannah Malm, who has posted other viral call-out videos linked to the pandemic. • Mediaite: During an event in Kentucky at the Appalachian Regional Healthcare Hazard Clinic promoting vaccines, Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) was specifically asked about vaccine hesitancy among Republican men. Recent polling has shown nearly half of Republican men saying they wouldn’t get the vaccine. “As a Republican man, as soon as it was my turn, I took the vaccine. I would encourage all Republican men to do that,” replied McConnell. • Twitter: Even though Lil Nas X has racked up over 37 million views of his new music video “Montero (Call Me By Your Name),” conservative detractors have been busy calling the Grammy Award winner out.

First Trailer for “Captain America: Civil War”

First trailer from the upcoming “Captain America: Civil War” is out, and it delivers.

Chris Evans’ “Captain America” faces off against Robert Downey Jr.’s “Iron Man” in an effort to protect former side-kick “Bucky Barnes,” played by the Auber-handsome Sebastian Stan.

Looks like the whole Avengers team makes an appearance throughout the film.

“Captain America: Winter Soldier” rocked, and this looks just as good. I applaud Marvel for keeping their super hero universe so intertwined across so many movies.

The new movie hits theaters May 6, 2016.

Sebastian Stan in “Picnic”

The Roundabout Theatre has revived William Inge’s classic play Picnic.

The original Broadway production starred a young Paul Newman as “Hal” – a young man who comes to town looking for a new start.  Sebastian Stan (“Bucky” from the Chris Evans ‘Captain America’ movie) and his high-definition abs take the role of “Hal” in this new production.

Unfortunately, most reviews have not been strong except in regard to the front and center prominence of Sebastian’s abs.

The New York Times practically insisted that Sebastian’s abs deserve “star billing.”

I won’t judge the performances until I get to see them, but until then I can share with you “the abs that launched a thousand ships.”
