It doesn't appear to be there anymore, but I remember reading Dave Grohl's wikipedia page and there was a controversy section and it just talked about the DUI he got on a scooter.

Who’s this article about?

Awww crap I guess I forgot to comment somehow. As the other commenter says, it's from Jim Carrey's bio. I don't think he's a thoroughly bad person necessarily, but the whole vaccine scepticism is a huge negative. And I do have a bee in the bonnet about rich people who align with "socialism" and do NFTs, I mean, what the fuck are you doing, just stop, think about what you're doing dammit.

The version of NFT he did isn't really bad imo. It's not the algorithmically generated monkey pics or stolen art from artists to scam people out of money. People did buy into the NFT spiel that it'll democratize the art world and get artists paid fairly for their art by giving them a percent of the value whenever their art gets resold instead of putting money in the pockets of the rich few who used art as a money laundering scheme. It then became exactly that in a different way.

yeah people forget the roughly 12 milliseconds of hope between not knowing what nfts were and finding out they were a scam
