Netflix took its promotional might to the next level this weekend by offering a special set of cannabis strains with names inspired by some of its most popular shows.

No Matter Who Wins Mayweather-McGregor, the Biggest Loser Is HBO
Floyd Mayweather Jr.’s defensive genius has made him the easiest boxer in history for opponents to miss. Early on, it was the high-powered promoters and executives who failed to accurately assess his earning potential. Money Mayweather still hasn’t forgotten.
For the last bout of his career, Mayweather is avenging the perceived slights he suffered at the beginning of his illustrious career. Renowned as a fiendishly driven gambler, the greatest bet Mayweather placed was the $750,000 he laid down on himself in 2006, when he rejected an $8 million contract for a fight and bought out his contract with Top Rank in order to promote himself. Though his opponent this weekend will be MMA star Conor McGregor, a welcome ancillary target for Mayweather is HBO.
With no real challengers remaining in boxing this year, Mayweather turned to the UFC and its biggest star, Conor McGregor. According to insiders, he timed the announcement and staged the fight in a manner designed to deal maximum damage to his former network partner, HBO, and two of their biggest pay-per-view fights of 2017.

A drunken American saluted Hitler in Germany and it did not go well for him

If you see a drunken dumbass saluting the ghost of Hitler in the streets, kindly smack them in the face.
That’s this weekend’s object lesson from Germany, a nation that knows a thing or two about Nazis. When one such drunken dumbass, an American, started throwing out the stiff-armed Nazi salute in downtown Dresden, he got what he deserved: a swift punch.
The attacker wasn’t caught, but that punch had a lingering, positive impact: the American, a …read more

Apparently, the NRA Does Not Want to 'Fist' the NYT, but It's Still 'Coming for' the NYT
Social media proved its, uh, incomparable value to the national discourse on Friday when a minor firestorm broke out on Twitter over yet another inflammatory NRA video.
At 5:07 p.m. ET, journalist Yashar Ali tweeted “WATCH: New NRA ad: ‘We’re going to fist the NYT and find out just what deep rich means to this old gray hag.'” He embedded a video that the NRA released via Twitter on Thursday — a video that is actually an excerpt from an NRA “Commentators” video originally released on YouTube and NRATV.com in April.
The phrase in question comes at the 0:28 mark:
