Saturday Night Live returns this weekend after a holiday break for its first episode of 2021. John Krasinski hosts the show with musical guest Machine Gun Kelly.  

The cast kicks things off by covering some of the biggest headlines of the past few weeks. In the cold open Kate McKinnon brings on a rotating cast of characters to talk about what still “works” in America. The answer: not much. 

“It’s a new year and we have a new president so some things should work, but do they?” McKinnon says. 

The opening skit features QAnon congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (played by Cecily Strong). McKinnon also invites Derrick Boner to talk about GameStop stock (Pete Davidson), and Jack Dorsey and Mark Zuckerburg (Mikey Day and Alex Moffat) to weigh in on the dark chaos of social media.

McKinnon later recruits O.J. Simpson (Kenan Thompson) to talk about COVID-19 vaccines, and John Krasinski plays Tom Brady ahead of next month's Super Bowl.

Back in December, SNL closed 2020 with an episode hosted by veteran Kristen Wiig. It opened with the perfect farewell to the Trump administration, beginning with a cold open poking fun at Mike Pence. While getting his COVID-19 vaccine, Pence, played by Beck Bennet, is joined by his replacement, now Vice President Kamala Harris played once again by Maya Rudolph. The cast portrayed Pence as a fervent BTS fan, before giving us the sweet satisfaction of showing Harris slap Pence across the face.

https://ift.tt/3qSH1Ig Nos encontramos ante un contexto económico y empresarial sin precedentes en nuestra historia moderna . La crisis provocada por la pandemia ha hecho que el Gobierno se haya visto obligado a poner en marcha una serie de medidas con el fin de preservar la financiación de pymes y autónomos y evitar que una crisis de liquidez pueda poner en riesgo su viabilidad, entre las que destacan los créditos ICO . Sin embargo, la banca no lo está poniendo nada fácil . Según las últimas estadísticas del Banco de España , correspondientes al mes de enero de 2021, la TAE de las nuevas operaciones de financiación de cuantía inferior a los 250.000 euros, que se suele asociar con las pymes y los autónomos, se situó en enero en el 3,48 por ciento TAE, casi un punto más que en el mes de diciembre de 2020 (2,55 por ciento TAE). Este repunte se explica fundamentalmente por un mayor volumen de comisiones aplicadas en los préstamos y créditos bancarios. De hecho, el TEDR (la TAE excluyen...

Colorado High School Coach Says He Was Forced to Resign Because He’s Gay

-
https://ift.tt/Oj01b3 Colorado high school students are demonstrating in support of Inoke Tonga, a volleyball coach who claims he was forced to resign from his job because of his sexuality.  According to the  Denver Post , Tonga left his position at Valor Christian High School in Highlands Ranch, where he had coached the volleyball team during the 2020-2021 school year. The coach said he intended to continue his role for the upcoming season, but was essentially pressured to leave his job after school administrators found out he was gay through his social media activity. Tonga says administrators had called him in for a meeting, in which they expressed their concerns over his sexuality and the affect it may have on the students. “I sat in the room being grilled about how being gay is a ‘danger’ to the school and to the kids,” Tonga wrote on Instagram. “That with me ‘identifying as a gay man, they can’t put the kids at risk by having me in front of them.’” He cont...
