The backdrop for the Eagles’ concert at the Las Vegas Sphere was the Hollywood/L.A. of my misspent youth.

Meet Piotr Szczerek, the hero who snatched a hat from a kid on live TV at the US Open. He’s a millionaire CEO of a private company, and now he’s bravely threatening to sue anyone who dares to call him a “greedy POS” or anything equally hurtful. So whatever you do, definitely don’t share this post. Just quietly warn your close friends not to call him mean names. Wouldn’t want to hurt his millionaire feelings.

This wildly misleading tweet, and the mostly hateful replies, is like entering an alternate version of reality. If anybody is interested in the truth behind this claim, and what that Swedish poll actually asked, I'll go through it. Probably banging my head against a wall. 😂
