The convicted and imprisoned former movie mogul is in the Bellevue Hospital Prison Ward for “the myriad of health conditions that he is still afflicted with,” a representative said.

Convicted and imprisoned former Hollywood movie mogul Harvey Weinstein has been hospitalized for a “myriad of health conditions” and has tested positive for Covid-19 and double pneumonia, a representative said.

Weinstein was taken to the Bellevue Hospital Prison Ward, his representative and prison consultant Craig Rothfeld said.

New York Corrections Department records also show that Weinstein, 72, is at Bellevue.

Reintroduce the Quokka!

The world needs more happiness.

You are welcome. I don't like most of you mammals, but you Quokkas are okay by this squid.

Thoughts on the slow loris?

slow loris

[–] FlyingSquid 11 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Does this dude look happy to you?

[–] disguy_ovahea 5 points 5 months ago

Maybe he’s just in need of squid love.

[–] Cadeillac 5 points 5 months ago

That is the spirit animal of derp

[–] Cosmos7349 23 points 5 months ago

I did not! And that picture of the rat is very cute!

[–] MisterNeon 18 points 5 months ago

That is legitimately a more important subject.

Aw nice hopefully they can get established

[–] [email protected] 17 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, indeed. In addition to being downright adorable, they're also able to utilize a very invasive species of weed for both food and shelter while also reducing its spread.

That plant is basically covered in spikes; it's a huge upgrade to their huts' defences over what they used before

[–] Red_October 82 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Honestly that's just awful, and I think any reasonable person can feel a moment of empathy and agree. The hospitals shouldn't be forced to waste time and resources on him.

[–] grue 10 points 5 months ago

But if he dies, his sentence ends.

[–] jpreston2005 6 points 5 months ago

Had me in the first half, not gonna lie 🤣 👌

Please tell me that double pneumonia hurts twice as bad as regular pneumonia

[–] [email protected] 15 points 5 months ago

that means that changes are detected in both lungs

[–] [email protected] 13 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I hope every breath hurts, until he's dragged to hell.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

I've had pneumonia before. I can assure you that the breathing and coughing is not remotely pleasant.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago

Been there. Nearly died from it. It's horrible. I would totally wish it on many others, including Weinstein.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

he obviously orders 2 of everything

[–] aseriesoftubes 33 points 5 months ago

I feel sorry for Covid. It’s got a case of Weinstein.

[–] FlyingSquid 21 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

Make him better. I want him to die in prison of old age. In fact, let him live to 120. In a cell.

[–] ZoopZeZoop 4 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

Edit: Nevermind. Glad, in this case, I was partially uninformed. A conviction was overturned, but he was still convicted in a second state.

[–] FlyingSquid 8 points 5 months ago (1 children)

His New York conviction was overturned. He's appealing the L.A. conviction.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

Why was it overturned?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 5 months ago
[–] [email protected] 13 points 5 months ago (2 children)

I'm sure we can all agree and wish him a speedy demise?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago

I was honestly waiting to hear about him getting shanked in prison.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

And painful.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 5 months ago

I hope it is a slow and agonizing death.

[–] norimee 10 points 4 months ago

As long as he doesn't get a compassionate release I don't care.

Disappointment is seeing 25 people beat you to the punch to say, Good!

[–] hperrin 5 points 4 months ago

May he get everything he deserves.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

Will they get a little fake walker for each of his lungs?

[–] xc2215x 3 points 5 months ago

Well, isn't this something.

[–] BuckWylde 2 points 5 months ago

Get rekt, idiot

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

Hope he is suffering.
