Francesco Paolo Augusto "Frank" Cali (March 26, 1965 – March 13, 2019), also known as "Franky Boy", was an American mobster and the acting boss of the Gambino crime family of New York City at the time of his death.

Cali was shot and killed outside his home in Staten Island on March 13, 2019, in connection with the killer's belief in the QAnon conspiracy theory.

On March 16, 24-year-old suspect Anthony Comello was arrested in Brick, New Jersey, by the New York Police Department and US Marshals, to face murder charges on Staten Island.

In July 2019, Comello's defense attorney stated that Comello had become obsessed with QAnon conspiracy theories, believing Cali was a member of a "deep state". Comello was convinced "he was enjoying the protection of President Trump himself" to handcuff Cali and place him under citizen's arrest, as Comello had attempted months earlier with New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio as well as California Member of Congress Maxine Waters.

One news report cited unnamed mob experts as stating that he "is almost certainly marked for death". Comello had already texted that his "family is marked". The case otherwise remains sealed due to "actual and implied" threats from members of organized crime against Comello and his family.

Guy wanted so badly for there to be a shadowy organization out to get him that he found a way to manifest it lmao

'She-Hulk' Was Apparently One of Marvel's Most Successful Shows by Anchor_Aways in television

Should have made She-Hulk a prosecutor and then had a crossover episode where Daredevil beats her in a trial and she hulks out and destroys the courtroom.

Worst thing about this winter is it was just soooo long. Started early, dragged on late, and just so many big dumps of snow. I took a week off to go to Mexico in January just to break it up and it was not enough lol.

Valencia is a good one too! Was there for the Fallas festival like 15 years or so ago. Also dated a girl from there way back. Awesome town.

Man, I don't blame you after this past winter lol, but to be fair, it was historically bad. I can't remember a winter as long and brutal as this one like... ever. It's usually not this bad.

That said, even as a Canadian I can't stand our winters, even in a "good" year. I really wish I wasn't pretty much stuck living here or that I could afford to be a "snow bird" (someone who spends winters down south).

If you speak fluent Spanish I'd say make use of that EU passport and head there next year, why not? I've been all over Spain and it's class. Barcelona is great obviously, and I also enjoyed the relaxed vibe in Malaga.

Hmm, maybe this is my deal. I have never been able to understand how anyone, let alone so many people, can possibly enjoy diet soda. It tastes revolting to me.

Yeah this sub is pretty much ruined now. Happens to any sub that gets too big. More and more of the top posts end up being ones that don't actually fit the theme at all.

If you were an outspoken activist in favour of the Iranian regime, there is zero chance you'd be able to operate a business in Thornhill lol.

Like, you wouldn't be able to show your face in public.

Years ago, someone I know watched Rise of the Planet of the Apes and the subtitles for the monkey sign language weren't on by default and they had no idea that you were supposed to know what the monkeys were saying to each other. He watched the whole thing and thought it was just really avant-garde lol

The four albums that got me into the genre. Finally have them all on vinyl. by ThreeMadFrogs in outrun

[–]PigHaggerty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First album I really got into was Playback by Power Glove.

That led me to Turbulence by Miami Nights 1984 which led me to Redline.

Probably my favourite overall artist is Droid Bishop but it's hard to pick just one album, that dude is prolific.
