Mastertrolls who deserve the Bay's respect

Mary Jo Laupp, a 51-year-old grandmother living in Fort Dodge, Iowa, appears to have helped led the charge on TikTok late last week when she posted a video encouraging people to go to Trump's website, register to attend the event -- and then not show up.

“All of those of us that want to see this 19,000 seat auditorium barely filled or completely empty go reserve tickets now and leave him standing alone there on the stage," Laupp told her then-1,000 or so followers on TikTok, normally thought of a platform for dancing teenagers and not, necessarily, political action.

Aeroflot's Pobeda: Top budget airline sacks executive over phallic flight stunt - source

Russia's top budget airline has sacked one of its deputy heads and formally reprimanded its director after one of its passenger planes traced a phallic-like route in the sky during a commercial flight, an industry source told Reuters on Tuesday.

Aeroflot's low-cost airline Pobeda came under scrutiny when one of its Moscow-Yekaterinburg flights veered from its path on November 11 for what an official report said were irregular manoeuvres with 102 passengers on board.

Russian media cast the phallic-like route as a show of public support for soccer star Artyom Dzyuba who had been dropped from the Russian national team after the leak of a private, intimate video featuring a man similar to him.

Pobeda's board reprimanded General Director Andrey Kalmykov and sacked one of his deputies at a meeting on Tuesday over the incident, a source told Reuters. The RBC media outlet, citing its own source, reported the same details.

Aeroflot confirmed Pobeda had held a board meeting, but declined to comment further. Both Pobeda and the national Rosaviatsia authority declined to comment.

The aviation authority last month recommended Kalmykov be sacked over the incident in an internal report that was leaked on social media and confirmed to Reuters by a source.
