A House Oversight Committee hearing devolved into chaos Thursday night as Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) clashed after the firebrand Republican accused Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) of wearing “fake eyelashes.”
The comment — which was made during a markup to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress — prompted nearly an hour of disorder in the committee, with lawmakers screaming over one another and hurling insults left and right, leaving Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) struggling to maintain order.
The madness culminated Thursday night with a vote on whether or not to allow Greene to continue speaking during the hearing, which the panel ultimately granted in a 22-20 vote. Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) — who has butted heads with Greene in the past — crossed party lines to vote against allowing the Georgia lawmaker to proceed during the hearing. Boebert was sitting two seats away from Greene during the vote.
“I hope you brought your popcorn,” Greene exclaimed at one point during the hearing.

“I remember times where everyone just stayed quiet, knowing what was happening was wrong,” the actress said
In a May 15 Instagram Stories post, the 33-year-old actress — who played Gabi Hernandez on the iconic soap for 13 years — shared a pointed message criticizing “behavior” she experienced at her “previous place of employment,” according to Soaps.com.
“I will never understand all the people at my previous place of employment that are friends with snakes,” the Emmy-nominated actress wrote. “Just know this. I remember all, I will continue to remember how those snakes treated me and how others allowed and perpetuated their behavior.”
“I remember times where everyone just stayed quiet, knowing what was happening was wrong,” she added. “Men and women.”
According to the outlet, Banus also accompanied the call-out post with both a teapot and cup of tea emoji, seemingly indicating she has a lot more to share about the drama behind the scenes of the popular soap.
Banus first announced her departure in an interview with TheWrap published in May 2023, telling the outlet that the show's "changes" were a sign for her to move on from the long-running Peacock soap, which previously aired on NBC from 1965 to 2022.
"There's definitely been a lot of changes at Days, the last couple of years, one being moving to Peacock," said Banus, whose last shoot day was April 28, 2023.
"Although it's been wonderful and we've had a super great reception, for me, I felt like that was kind of like the initial start for changes happening in general," she continued. "And I kind of just saw that as a sign for me to start the next chapter in my life."
Banus also told the outlet that she was “open to renegotiating a certain type of shooting schedule” that allotted her more time off — “but they didn't go for it."
“At first, it was just easy to say, 'Well, if you can't meet these demands, then I can't,' and move on with a new contract,” she said. “But then, you know, I talked to producers and they had a call with me and they were like, 'Well, what can we do?' And I honestly, I need to slow down. And part of that is, you know, you guys accepting this shooting schedule for me, and you won't.”
“So, you know, I have to respectfully bow out and say thank you, and that's all I can do,” she added.

Many of us have been soooo vindictated!
Maggie Haberman is a double nepo baby whose father has been a NY Times contributor since 1977 (bet he knows Judith Miller!) and who’s mom was Trump’s PR agent at Rubinstein Associates. Weirdly, Maggie’s sister is the “Special Events Coordinator” in DC for Jose Andres World Central Kitchen, (WCK) the food aid charity that shows up wherever there’s a global hot spot. At first WCK seemed noble, now it looks like an intelligence operation.
WCK coordinated with the Israeli Defense Force to deliver food to Gaza. Every trip they made was logged with IDF ahead of time. WCK trucks were clearly identified. Yet IDF attacked WCK on its way to make a food delivery and killed 7 of the aid workers. Isn’t that kind of odd? A well known aid group, affiliated with sister of “The Trump Whisperer” gets attacked and murdered by the military group they were coordinating with? A very deliberate attack of a group known to them…an attack meant to kill people. Would seem to make no sense…except it was planned and carried out and 7 people are dead.
I’ve always despised Chris Cuomo. He has no right to have a tv show except daddy and bro were governor. This dynasty needs to fade out of politics and media (same for their fellow nepo baby pal Dan Abrams)
Katy Tur has a trans dad she stopped speaking to (even though dad’s contacts got her foot in the media door) …looks like an Elon Musk situation. “I don’t believe in trans, so now I’m supporting the right wing.” Lawrence O’Donnell spanked her on camera the other day when she had the gall to claim Trump flunkies like Tuberville and Mike Johnson had a right to stand up and be spokesmen for Trump as he slept in the courtroom.

On 'Real Time,' the comedian said about the backlash over the NFL player's comments to women, "I don't see what the big crime is, I really don't."
Bill Maher admitted he was confused on the latest episode of Real Time about the controversy surrounding Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker‘s commencement speech at Benedictine College.
This week, the NFL player was criticized across social media over his graduation speech at the private Catholic school, which included comments condemning abortion, euthanasia, IVF, surrogacy and the LGBTQ community. He also made some remarks directed towards women in the crowd, suggesting they should embrace being a “homemaker.”
Maher initially emphasized “how much this guy is not like me,” noting Butker’s “religious, he loves marriage, he loves kids,” — all things the comedian has publicly expressed not having an interest in.
“Here’s a quote of his, ‘I’ve seen it firsthand how much happier someone can be when they disregard the outside noise and move closer and closer to God’s will,'” Maher said. “Yeah, not me. I couldn’t be more not like this.”
However, Maher went on to say he doesn’t understand the backlash regarding Butker’s comments that were directed toward women during his speech.
“I don’t get the thing he said, talking to women, ‘Some of you may go on to lead successful careers in the world.’ OK, that seems fairly modern,” Maher said before continuing to read the football player’s remarks. “‘But I would venture to guess that the majority of you are most excited about your marriage and the children you will bring into this world.’ I don’t see what the big crime is, I really don’t.”
Maher explained, “I think this is part of the problem people have with the left, is that lots of people in this country are like this. Like he’s saying some of you may go on to successful careers, but a lot of you are excited about this other way that people, everybody used to be and now can. Can’t that just be a choice too? And I feel like they feel very put upon like there’s only one way to be a good person and that’s to get an advanced degree from one of those asphalt factories like Harvard.”
The comedian isn’t the only person in Hollywood to come to Butker‘s defense amid the controversy. On Thursday’s episode of The View, Whoopi Goldberg defended the Chiefs player’s right to free speech, even if she doesn’t share his beliefs.
“I like when people say what they need to say,” the EGOT winner said. “He’s at a Catholic college, he’s a staunch Catholic. These are his beliefs and he’s welcome to them. I don’t have to believe them, I don’t have to accept them, the ladies that were sitting in that audience don’t have to accept them.”
Goldberg continued, “The same way we want respect when Colin Kaepernick takes a knee, we want to give respect to people whose ideas are different from ours because the man who says he wants to be president, You-Know-Who, he says the way to act is to take away people’s right to say how they feel. We don’t want to be that. We don’t want to be those people.”
Amid the viral backlash, the NFL clarified in a statement this week that Butker‘s “views are not those of the NFL as an organization.”
At the end of the discussion on Real Time, Maher added, “I find it very ironic that he’s saying, you know what, in my world, we like the women to stay at home and just have babies, and the college kids and the young people find this absolutely abhorrent, but they’re demonstrating for Hamas.”
The guests featured on the latest episode included Michael Eric Dyson, Nellie Bowles and Pamela Paul.

I'm tired of turning on the television to drek. Things that pass for quality programing today are sad. PBS is the last to offer truly great productions:
The PBS NewsHour is the gold standard of nightly news in my opinion.
Intelligent talk shows like Charlie Rose, Dick Cavett, and Firing Line (now just Firing Line)
Antiques Roadshow
Masterpiece Theatre (which can be hit or miss. Downton Abbey was so inaccurate and cheesy, watch The Remains of the Day or Gosford Park instead).
Documentaries by Ken Burns as well as The America Experience, American Masters, and Frontline
BBC or iTV shows- Are You Being Served, Keeping Up Appearances, Miss Marple and Sherlock Holmes with Jeremy Brett immediately come to mind
Recordings of symphony, ballet, and opera
Foreign and classic films. The Sound of Music was always on during holidays.
So, what are other quality programs to add to the list??? I get tired of the same old stuff over the years.

Zachary Wolfe Galligan was born on February 14, 1964 in New York City, New York. His mother was a psychologist and his father was a lawyer who also was a founding partner of the law firm of Dickstein Shapiro. He grew up on the Upper West Side and went to The Collegiate School. During his Junior year of HS he was approached and asked to audition for the film Taps. He went to the audition and didn’t land the role but did land himself an agent that day.
After graduating HS in 1982, he began attending Columbia University while also auditioning for film roles.
In 1984 he landed his debut role in “Nothing Lasts Forever”, a film with Bill Murray. The film ended up getting shelved and never seeing the light of day. Later that year he starred in his second film (but debut film to the public), “Gremlins”, a role he beat out Kevin Bacon, Emilio Estevez and Judd Nelson for. The film turned out to be his big break, becoming a massive commercial and cultural success and becoming the third highest grossing film of 1984.
During that time Galligan was asked to audition for the lead role in “Back to the Future”. He would have had to fly out to LA to audition and meet with people etc. His parents objected to this because he was in the middle of classes at Columbia and they felt he wasn’t taking school serious enough. They wanted him to focus on school more so he can have a stead career one day if acting doesn’t work out and were strong believers in the importance of higher education. He obliged and decided to send in a videotape audition. He never heard back from the casting. He knew not being able to audition in person blew his chances.
In 1985, he played the doomed teenager Rick Brogan in Surviving, an acclaimed TV movie that featured Ellen Burstyn and Marsha Mason (as well as a young River Phoenix), and landed him on the cover of People magazine with co-star Molly Ringwald.
1986 brought his Broadway debut, replacing Matthew Broderick in Neil Simon’s Tony winning play Biloxi Blues.
In 1988, he fully dropped out of Columbia and he moved to Los Angeles. He starred as Mark Loftmore in the horror comedy Waxwork.
In 1990 he reprised his role in “Gremlins 2” as well as his role in “Waxwork 2”. Gremlins 2 did poorly at the box office, leading Hollywood to stop offering Galligan roles. He spent the next decade hoping (in vain) for another big break. “My days involved waiting for an audition, working out at the gym and partying,” he recalls. “I had a blast in the 90’s, perhaps too much fun, and maybe I should have worked a lot harder and partied a lot less, but I definitely don’t regret the 12 years I spent living out in LA.” He worked in straight to VHS films or low budget B films for years after Gremlins 2 failed.
In 1996, 14 years after starting his college career, and 14 years of aborted semesters, missed classes and multiple relocations, Zach moved back to NYC and graduated from Columbia University with a B.A. in History.
In 2002, Zach returned to his theater roots with the comedy Doing Judy at the Alcazar Theater in San Francisco, and on screen has played a Brooklyn sleazoid on Law & Order: Criminal Intent, a hack playwright in Let Them Chirp Awhile (2008), and a New Orleans sheriff in Hatchet 3 (2013). In early 2021, Galligan appeared in a Mountain Dew commercial in which his Gremlins character, Billy, gives Gizmo a drink of his Mountain Dew, and will play a role in the new Gremlins animated series being made.
He works as an acting teacher for years.

Can someone explain what the deal with them really was? When i was growing up, Hepburn was still alive, and it was pretty well known she had had a lifelong secret affair (which was an open secret in Hollywood) with Spencer Tracy, who could not marry her because she was married to a very Catholic wife who would not divorce him.
But in recent years, it's been said she was a lesbian (not hard to believe) and that he was a drunken closeted gay man (also not hard to believe), and their relationship was some sort of lavender (non-)marriage. Did they have sex at all? Did they have long-term same-sex partners? And is there a book that explains all of this?
It seems so elaborate (although plausible) for Spencer Tracy to have an "open secret" love affair that actually hid even MORE secret love affairs that dared not be exposed.

Usually it’s described as being a marriage that ended in her death, which appears to have been technically true, but that also suggests they were still together when she committed suicide. But it appears they weren’t.

Supernatural stars DJ Qualls and Ty Olsson are engaged!
The actor, 45, revealed the big news on the May 15 episode of his Locked and Probably Loaded podcast with Kelly Blackheart. During the episode, he shared that he and Olsson clicked after they met and then built a strong bond over the years as their friendship evolved into something more.
“Ty and I became inseparable at the very beginning, just immediately,” Qualls shared. “And over the last 10 years our relationship evolved to what it is today, and now we’re getting married.”
The actor, who played werewolf Garth on the series, also recalled how he first met his fiancé, who played the vampire Benny on the show, at a convention for the popular CW series. He said they “didn’t know each other at all,” adding, “We maybe said three words together at the Supernatural convention, and then we went to London for four or five days afterward.”
“And then I was going to Turkey with a friend — and he is such a pure, awesome guy. He came up to us — we all went out as a group — and he was like, ‘Can I come on your trip with you?’ “ the Z Nation actor said.
“And I’m like, ‘That is so ballsy!’ I could never invite myself on somebody’s trip. ‘Cause I’d be afraid they would begrudgingly tell me yes and then not want me there. But it was just so pure and awesome, and that’s who he is,” he continued. “I didn’t know him. And it was the beginning of our friendship.”
Qualls went on to describe Olsson as one of the “most wonderful” people he’s ever met.
“It’s just so crazy that this person who was just my friend, now I think about all the time and he sends the best messages, and he supports me and loves me unconditionally in the right way," Qualls continued.
The Turning Point actor further pointed out on the podcast that he felt that “unconditional love” comes with the condition that “you treat that person with some respect and their best interests are your best interests,” and that was something Olsson did with him.
“Ty was the first person in my entire life, my entire life that I ever had that with,” Qualls said. “I say just a friend. He is the best friend I ever had, and now we’re going to be old men together, which is so crazy.”

Swift released a 24th variant of her album (across vinyl, CD and digital) The Tortured Poets Department one day prior to Eilish. The extra tracks? Early iPhone message versions of songs she sent to her producers.

From there, Deggan would turn to press Gatwa for his thoughts on the mountains of criticism fans have leveled towards Davies’ aforementioned decision to focus the series’ narrative on overt sociopolitical messaging – “If you’re not writing that [in 2024], what on Earth are you doing?” the showrunner declared during a previous interview with Rolling Stone – rather than entertainment.
However, instead of earnestly actually engaging with the substance of this very specific and widespread complaint, Gatwa instead moved to paint those fans who have tuned out of Doctor Who as nothing more than anti-black racists.
“I don’t want to diminish racial aggression at all, but for me, personally, I find it fascinating that it matters so much to these people,” said the actor. “You are going to limit yourselves from a show that you love because you don’t like something about someone’s appearance. It’s just, like, really sad for them.”

During Thursday’s court proceedings, the former president’s attorney Todd Blanche grilled Cohen on the stand, appearing to catch the former Trump fixer in either a lie or a mis-recollection. Cohen has claimed that he fronted hush money payments to Stormy Daniels with the full consent and knowledge of Trump in order to conceal an alleged affair between the adult actress and his former boss.
Cohen has testified that on Oct. 24, 2016 that he informed Trump directly on a phone call with the plan to pay off Daniels. However, Blanche during the cross-examination referenced text messages on that date between Cohen and Trump ally Keith Schiller regarding a 14-year-old who was prank-calling Cohen. In the texts, Schiller tells Cohen to call him before he allegedly had the call involving Trump.
When asked by Blanche, Cohen noted that the phone call was about both topics. Honig noted during a panel discussion on CNN that this was a devastating moment for Cohen’s credibility on the stand.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a star cooperating witness get his knees chopped out quite as clearly and dramatically as what just happened with Michael Cohen. I’ve certainly seen very effective cross-examinations of cooperating witnesses. I’ve seen aspects of their story cut into and called into question. But this goes to the heart of the allegation here. That phone call on October 24th, and it looks to the jury and to Anderson Cooper and Kara Scannell, Judge George Grasso, who are all in the courthouse, that that was a devastating moment.

Crockett and Greene got into it almost right away, with Crockett suggesting Greene didn’t understand the purpose of the hearing. “I think your fake eyelashes are messing up what you’re reading,” Greene said.
[quote]Comer soon suspended the hearing for several minutes so lawmakers could confer with their parliamentary experts, and Greene agreed to “strike” her words, but she refused to apologize...
[quote]Eventually, after several more minutes of parliamentary arguing, the committee voted to allow Greene to finish her allotted speaking time. But Crockett wasn’t finished. “I’m just curious, just to better understand your ruling,” Crockett said. “If someone on this committee then starts talking about somebody’s bleach blonde, bad built, butch body, that would not be engaging in personalities, correct?”

29 years ago today, Liz Montgomery died from colon cancer at the age of 62. The actress was diagnosed with the disease for the second time (the first time was in the mid-80s) six weeks earlier. By the time she went to her doctor, the cancer had spread to her liver.
Montgomery requested she die at home (not in the hospital or hospice), with her family. When she was slipping away, she asked her kids and husband to leave the room - she didn't want them to witness her last breaths. They did as she asked, and returned a short while later to find her gone. Montgomery was cremated, per her request, and a 'public' memorial was held in Beverly Hills a month later at the Canon Theater. Three years later, her children auctioned off her personal items to raise money for the LA AIDS Healthcare Foundation.
PEOPLE Magazine caught a lot of flack for not giving Montgomery the 'cover story' in their next issue. Instead, they had her in the top right corner with an inside tribute. The cover was given to Keeanu Reeves, promoting his new movie 'Speed'. The magazine later blamed the studio, saying that the movie studio booked the cover story months earlier (re: paid the magazine to put him on the cover). This was the second time PEOPLE got backlash from readers for not putting a celebrity's death on the cover (the first time was in 1977 when Elvis died). Later on, PEOPLE did release a limited-edition 'tribute' issue to Montgomery.

A billionaire gifted graduating students at UMass Dartmouth with "envelopes full of cash" totaling $1,000.
Robert Hale Jr., the CEO of Granite Telecommunications, made the announcement during the school's commencement ceremony on Thursday. The school shared a video of the ceremony online, showing the moment Hale told the 1,200 graduates and their families.
"These trying times have heightened the need for sharing, caring and giving," Hale said. "Our community needs you and your generosity more than ever."
A UMass Dartmouth press release said security brought onstage two large duffle bags "packed with envelopes full of cash."
Hale told graduates that he had two envelopes to give them: one reading "gift" and the other reading "give."
Hale explained that each student would receive $1,000 but added there was a "stipulation."
"The first $500 is our gift to you," Hale said. "The second $500 is for you to give to somebody else or another organization who could use it more than you."
If all 1,200 students received the $1,000, Hale's giveaway amounted to about $1.2 million.
During the ceremony, Hale also received the UMass Dartmouth Chancellor's Medal for his philanthropy work.

There was a point midway into the movie where I thought to myself, “this movie is fucking awesome”, and it is, for the most part.
The writing is strong and “tightly knitted”, as I like to call it. There aren’t tons of subplots etc like can happen with movies like this. There is one focus and the film remains focused on that from start to end, and that is these 3 character’s relationship.
Zendaya is a fucking force. I think she’s talented but she surprised me in this. She is manipulative and a boss bitch and bodyslams the role. Mike Faist and Josh O’Connor are both amazing as Art and Patrick, and their chemistry is off the charts. I personally LOVED Josh as Patrick. He was soooo good as the no-good asshole who women still feel drawn to, but he’s the guy you fuck, not marry. Art is the opposite. Very boring for Tashi and her lapdog, as opposed to Patrick who she gets into arguments with and goes head to head with her, which seems to turn her on. The score is brilliant. It’s a character of its own in this film.
The film is fun and energetic. There is so much energy you can feel it.
There is a scene where we finally meet Tashi in the past (the first time the boys see her play in person) that got me excited. When she walks out music starts bumping and it’s pure energy. Zendaya looked so beautiful in this. There are a few salacious scenes and some people in the theater reacted. You could hear “omg Zendaya!” like people were genuinely shocked to see her straddling a man. It was funny but makes sense as she has such a clean image and always plays teens.
There are two moments I disliked, one being the way the film ended. Just no. And two, the scene with Tashi and Patrick in the wind storm. I thought the scene was cool until it went all weird. But besides that, amazing.
There are a lot of homoerotic undertones in this from early in the film and I don’t see many straight men liking this unless with their girlfriends or cinephiles. That’s one of the things I liked about the film too. You could feel that atmosphere without actually seeing anything like that happen. It was interesting.
Honestly, I would give it a 4/5. It’s awesome but that ending was a no for me and it started to become too stylistic toward the end.

An employment verification letter American Airlines gives to some newly hired flight attendants documenting their salary has been circulating on Reddit, drawing attention to their low wages.
The letter states that a new American Airlines flight attendant will have a “projected annual salary of $27,315 per year before incentives and taxes” and concludes, “Any courtesy you can provide would be appreciated.”
The union representing American Airlines workers, the Association of Professional Flight Attendants (APFA), verified the authenticity of the letter, which is given to potential landlords or for other services where attendants need to verify their employment and income. The union represents 28,000 American Airlines flight attendants, and it is working on their first new contract in five years – a deal that stretches back before the pandemic and the inflation crisis.
American Airlines did not respond to CNN’s requests for comment.
Even as price increases are slowing down, the letter shows how, for some Americans, a little inflation relief isn’t nearly enough. The low wages for starting flight attendants – a job once seen as glitzy – underscores how many people are still struggling, despite what on paper looks like a strong economy and job market.
This salary is above the federal poverty line of $15,060 for a single-person household. But that’s a national level and doesn’t take into account regional price differences, including in major metro areas where the cost of living can be significantly higher.

Milo Yiannopoulos is parting ways with Ye (formerly Kanye West). The ex-Breitbart editor, who had been serving as Yeezy’s chief of staff, revealed his exit to TMZ on Wednesday.
“I wish Ye every success in the future,” he told the outlet. “I have some concerns about his new team and hope he proceeds with caution.”
Yiannopoulos also shared with TMZ his letter of resignation, in which he wrote that he “cannot be complicit in the production or dissemination of pornographic films and literature, for moral and religious reasons. He added that “such material and the kind of people invariably involved in its production represent an imminent danger to my life as a recovering addict and an unacceptable risk to my spiritual and physical health as a former homosexual.”
He also noted on his resignation letter that he was delivering an “orderly handover” by Friday, May 31 or “the first pornography shoot, whichever is sooner.” Yiannopoulos also stated that if the company “publicly and permanently abandons any plan to produce, distribute or profit from obscene content,” he would be honored to return to Yeezy.
A source told Rolling Stone that besides Yiannopoulos, around 20 Yeezy employees have left the company because of other issues with Ye. “Porn was the slightest of factors,” the insider said.

I won't bore people who don't care for sports stats but he is without a doubt a living legend and on track to break some of the most ridiculous records in the NBA. He is the best player on the reigning championship team and they are looking like the best team in the NBA this season too. The American media and the NBA pretty much refuses to market him, because he's considered to be fat and ugly and unathletic. Obviously it isn't possible to be the best player in the NBA without tremendous athletic gifts, it basically just means he doesn't jump high or run fast. He was fined a few years ago for saying "no homo". Nikola Jokic is 6'11" and 284 lb from Serbia. Is it fair for the NBA media to freeze him out of promotion and coverage for not being sexy or flashy? Do you think he's hot or a complete uggo?

Jerry Seinfeld's latest vanity project is this screwball comedy set in 1963, detailing the totally fictional origin story of the Pop-Tart. Seinfeld plays an executive for Kellogg's who steers his invention through a competition with Post Cereals to see who could get a breakfast pastry to market first.
Unlike the many recent true-to-life origin stories about Beanie Babies and Flamin' Hot Cheetos, this work is entirely fictional, and based around an old joke from Seinfeld's standup career. There was no cutthroat competition to invent a toaster pastry. There was no scandal. Marjorie Post was real, but she didn't send a goon squad to beat up the pastry chefs of Battle Creek.

[quote]Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, the 18th and final individual indicted in Arizona's fake elector case, was served on Friday at his 80th birthday party, sparking social media users to make jokes about the incident.
[quote]n an X, formerly Twitter, post on Friday evening, Giuliani, a former Trump attorney, taunted Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes with a selfie photo with friends at his party and wrote, "If Arizona authorities can't find me by tomorrow morning: 1. They must dismiss the indictment 2. They must concede they can't count votes." The post has since been deleted.
[quote]Shortly after, Mayes reposted Giuliani's X post and wrote, "The final defendant was served moments ago. @RudyGiuliani nobody is above the law." She has since attached a screenshot of Giuliani's deleted post. The hand-delivered papers provide Giuliani with the notice of his indictment.

Sarah Paulson will never forget the actor who sent her six pages of unsolicited notes after watching her in a play.
Paulson recently appeared on the “Smartless” podcast, where she and hosts Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes and Will Arnett discussed the theater custom of celebrities coming backstage to meet with the cast.
When Bateman asked the group if they would accept criticism from these visitors, Paulson recalled the “outrageous” experience she had after a show.
“I did do a play once. The last time I was on stage, I did a play called ‘Talley’s Folly’ at the Roundabout, and the actress — and I’m going to say this, and I’m not going to ask you to cut this out, because I don’t f—ing care — this actress came to the play. Her name is Trish Hawkins — Hi, Trish! Hi, Trisha!” Paulson said. “Trish Hawkins came to the play — am I going to get sued? I don’t care, because I think this is outrageous.”
She continued, “She came to the play, proceeded to say — she looked at me up and down and then she went, ‘Your dress is yellow. Mine was pink.’ And I thought, ‘What?’”
Hawkins originated the role of Sally Talley in “Talley’s Folly” both during its 1979 off-Broadway run and its Broadway debut in 1980. In 2013, Paulson played the same character in an off-Broadway revival of the Lanford Wilson play.
According to Paulson, her own mother had brought Hawkins with her to watch “Talley’s Folly” because they were “in some kind of writing group together.”
“Cut to two days later, I got an email that was six pages long of notes and a communication to me about what she had done when she had done the play, what she recommended I do,” Paulson added. “It was outrageous. It was really outrageous. Trish Hawkins, I have not forgotten it, and I hope to see you never.”
Paulson admitted she still has Hawkins’ notes, but she never told her mother about the incident. “I just put it back in the file of things my mother has done,” she said.

In an interview set to air in full Wednesday night on MSNBC’s “The 11th Hour with Stephanie Ruhle,” Romney said Biden would have looked like the “big guy” compared to Trump if he pardoned the former president.
“Had I been President Biden, when the Justice Department brought out indictments, I would have immediately pardoned him. I’d have pardoned President Trump,” Romney said.
“Why? Well, because it makes me, President Biden, the big guy, and the person I pardoned the little guy,” Romney added.

The Channel 4 doc, titled 'Spacey Unmasked,' will feature interviews with several men about their experiences with the actor.
Max and ID have acquired U.S. rights to a Channel 4 documentary about Kevin Spacey.
The two-part doc, titled Spacey Unmasked, is billed as a “forensic look” at Spacey’s career and the allegations of inappropriate sexual conduct against him. Spacey was acquitted in July 2023 of nine charges in a U.K. criminal case against him.
The documentary will also include interviews with “multiple men unconnected to that case about their experiences with Kevin Spacey, almost all of whom have never spoken before,” along with other previously unseen archival footage and interviews with the actor.
Spacey, a two-time Oscar winner, faced nine criminal charges from four different men in his U.K. trial, ranging from unwanted touching to, according to testimony from one man, performing oral sex on the man while he was asleep. The charges stemmed from alleged acts that occurred from 2001 to 2013; Spacey was artistic director of London’s Old Vic Theatre from 2004-15.
Spacey Unmasked is set to air on Channel 4 in the U.K. on May 6 and 7. Premiere dates for the U.S. and other territories haven’t been announced yet. All3Media International is handling international sales of the documentary and struck a deal with Warner Bros. Discovery for rights to the United States (where it will stream on Max and air on ID’s cable channel) and several other countries.
Katherine Haywood directed and produced Spacey Unmasked. Dorothy Byrne and Mike Lerner are executive producers. Roast Beef Productions (Pussy Riot: A Punk Prayer) produces in association with All3 Media International.

These days, even Tories like myself are finding it hard to defend the hereditary principle. Personally, I have no taste for republicanism, something which is due to my incapacity for envy. That emotion or weakness is quite absent from my makeup.
In the face of other peoples’ good fortune, I am as inert as a deaf person at a recital. But a Starmer government will find the fact that the Royal Family has more money and more privilege than the rest of us interesting.
I increasingly feel that the future of the Royal Family may depend on its ability to cheer the public and what it lacks now is the requisite joyfulness.
The King and the Princess of Wales are effectively hors de combat, poor Camilla is 76, life bears heavily on William, and no one fancies a Pizza Express.
The Windsors are in grave need of some pizazz. Readers may succumb to the screaming abdabs, but the royal left standing who has most star power is Harry. It is easy to blame him and his puerile book for the continuing rift with his father and brother, but some courtiers of my acquaintance hold William equally liable.
Recently, I spoke to a former palace official who used to work for both princes before the good times stopped rolling. “There is a public misconception about William and Harry,” he told me. “It is William who was often the difficult one, and it is William who is preventing his father from having a proper reconciliation with Harry.” He continued, “This isn’t helpful at a point in time when the country would be buoyed up by seeing them together again, as would the King.”
It wasn’t helpful last week when the only family member to greet Harry with warmth was Earl Spencer. When it comes to his brother, William’s disgruntlement can at times seem mildly pathological.
I do not think there is any superior rationality in being discontented with one’s relatives. Take myself. My mother once sold disobliging stories about me to the tabloids, but after an impulse to do her bodily harm, I forgave her.
Yet where William is concerned, Byronic unhappiness has taken hold. I realise Harry has at times taken joy out of William’s life, and that he and Meghan can be a cause of irritation. It remains tempting to call the pair one trick phoneys. But isn’t that what most royalling is all about? Phoney good will and faked enjoyment? Moreover, the Sussexes have youth and glamour, and the young regard them as a religion with no dilution of agnosticism.
To many, Charles and William’s continued coldness towards Harry is beginning to look inhuman. It is important to remember that the Royal Family is a microcosm for every family in Britain, and that a divided family, like a divided political party, has an intrinsic weakness.

Some moms get flowers for Mother’s Day; Paige Singh got to see Donald Trump on trial.
The Bay Area mom, in town from California to accompany her husband on business, snagged a spot on Tuesday for what has quickly become one of the hottest tickets in New York City, thanks to her husband and the professional line-stander he hired as a Mother’s Day gift to hold a spot for her in the queue outside the courthouse.
“My husband? He thinks it’s crazy,” she said. And her kids “just laugh.”
But for Singh, the hundreds of dollars she sent via Zelle to a stranger holding her place outside the Manhattan criminal courthouse was well worth the chance to see the former president of the United States on trial.
The paid place-holding went so well that Singh, who also attended part of E. Jean Carroll’s defamation trial against Trump, changed her travel plans to squeeze in an extra day at the court.
“It was so easy, so I thought, ‘Maybe I’ll go Tuesday.’ So I changed my flight,” she said.
Professional line-standers are a growing part of the gig economy. But the criminal trial of a former president accused of illegally covering up hush money payments to a porn star has translated into a windfall for people who get paid to wait — and who, as the trial goes on, have increasingly been hired by members of the general public with no stake in the trial other than curiosity.
“We’ve definitely had to staff up,” said Robert Samuels, who runs Same Ole Line Dudes, which bills itself as “New York’s Premier Professional Line Sitting Company.”
For the Trump trial, Samuels doubled his prices, expanded his stable of standers from 26 to 32, and has been too busy to watch the “Bridgerton” episodes he loaded on his iPad to pass the time during waits.
Admission to the court is free, of course, but it is first come, first served, and seating is limited. The first person in line Wednesday morning had paid $1,800 to have someone else hold that spot. A little further back in line, a woman was offering up her spot for $450.
“This is a unique experience that you can only see here,” Samuels said.
In New York, professional line-standers are more familiar working the queues of restaurants that don’t take reservations, ticket booths, sample sales, book signings, pop-up events and new product launches — anywhere that someone with more money than time might want to pay someone to wait.
“Skip the queues and enjoy your time in the big city!” reads the page advertising line-standing services on TaskRabbit, the gig work platform. “Even the DMV can be conquered with help from Taskers!”

Tell us about your crazy, creepy, eccentric, OCD or amusing co-workers and their antics.
Years ago my boss was thrilled when the wife of a doctor he had been unable to get a business meeting with responded to a job opening.
She arrived for the interview with two huge boxes of donuts for the office. She came to a conservative, professional office dressed in Bohemian new agey, mother earth attire. She brought a "portfolio" that showcased her crafts (scrap booking, pottery making, all unrelated to our industry) and also her EIGHT children's activities and musical awards. He hired her!
First day on the job she freaked everyone out by having all her kids come in at lunch time and assemble in the breakroom in a line oldest to youngest and take turns stepping forward and reciting their name and age like something directly out of The Sound of Music. I expected them to start singing the Do Re Mi song.
Within days she decorated her office with dozens of vintage mannequin busts of flappers from the 1920s (photo below) and costume jewelry displays like at a thrift or consignment shop. Employees, clients, building maintenance and employees of other businesses in the building complained about her weirdness.
He fired her within a couple of weeks. We all watched from the window as she dragged all her mannequins out to the parking lot one by one, beat them against the pavement and then threw them in the dumpster.
I'm not exaggerating any of this and boss never got a meeting with her husband.

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito on Friday spoke about the upside-down American flag seen flying outside his home in the days following the Jan. 6 Capitol protests, saying his wife displayed it in response to insults directed at her from a neighbor.
Alito weighed in after The New York Times first reported on the story Thursday, in which it said the upside-down flag — a symbol adopted by some Trump supporters disputing the results of the 2020 presidential election — appeared outside Alito’s home in Alexandria, Virginia, on Jan. 17, 2021.
Alito said the saga in his neighborhood began in the days around Jan. 6, 2021, when a neighbor living down the street put up a sign that read "F— Trump" about 50 feet away from a children’s bus stop.
He said his wife, Martha-Ann, then spoke with those neighbors about the sign and the conversation was not well received.
Alito says those neighbors then put up a sign directly attacking his wife and personally blaming her for the events that transpired on Jan. 6 at the nation’s capital.
He said that during a walk in the neighborhood with his wife, one person who lived at the property with the signage then got into an argument with her — at one point calling her derogatory language "including the C-word."
Following that incident, Alito said Martha-Ann was distraught and decided to make some sort of statement by hanging the American flag upside down outside their home.
Alito said he had no role in the flag decision, and it was flying outside their property only "for a short time."
He added that he felt he had no right or ability to control or order around his wife and that some neighbors on his street have been "very political."
The story surrounding the flag outside Alito’s home comes as the Supreme Court is deciding on former President Trump’s immunity case.

They were among the biggest stars of the "reality" style pron that started back in the mid-00s and then came to dominate the industry for many years. (That style of pron, not Lucas and Dawson)
Neither guy was model handsome, but they were better than average looking, had good bodies and, more than anything, came off as very likeable and relatable. Sort of the the "nice guy straight buddy you wind up having sex with" for a lot of guys.
I wonder what they are up to now--they both must be close to 40 at this point--and how much 10 years of regularly having sex on camera with other guys did to their psyches and their love lives--do they identify as bisexual now? Do they still fool around with guys?
This is a clip from their final "reward" from CorbinFisher--a trip to Australia to shoot a series of videos called "Lucas and Dawson Down Under" which marked the first time either of them had ever done a bareback scene as well as something close to an internal. You can tell there is some affection/chemistry between them, which could be because they found each other hot or because they'd both been on the same long strange trip together for so long.

HBO Films has acquired The Great Lillian Hall, starring Jessica Lange, for premiere on Friday, May 31, the eve of the June 1 Emmy eligibility cutoff date. The film will air on HBO at 8 pm ET/PT and will stream on Max.
Per the logline: As beloved Broadway star Lillian Hall (Lange) pours her heart, soul, and time into preparing for her next big role, she finds herself blindsided by confusion and forgetfulness.

In junior high or high school we are taught the textbook version of what happened when the bombs were dropped. But did it cover the actual nationalities of all the victims? As an Elder I've started thinking about that. How could everyone in those two cities at the time of the bombings be Japanese? Or is that how it was during WWII, everyone stayed in their lane, or in this case, country? And was there an advance warning of any kind?

Jared the Bosun is hilarious and weird. He seems stoned most of the time.
Fraser is being an absolute cunt this season. What crawled up his tight ass? And why does he keep calling himself "Mother?"
At first I didn't like Cat, but after hearing her story, I feel bad for her. I'm almost forced to like her.
Barbie is a feisty Latina firecracker.
Not sure what's the trip with Xandi, but she's just odd.
Sunny is cute. She and Ben would make a nice couple, if Ben didn't keep throwing her under the bus.
Kyle is cute too. His Irish accent makes him better looking than he actually is, though.
Speaking of Kyle and Ben, I am LOVING the shots in their cabin, where they keep exposing their bare asses to each other (and us)! On the show, Ben comes across as a total womanizer, but I swear, something about him is very gay. I especially loved the scene where he was rubbing lotion all over Kyle's back - all the way down to his exposed ass!
And the French Chef. He's tres gay, even though he is trying to pretend that he's straight.
I loved his hilarious story about how he got married at 26. Then his uncle offered his wife a job on a yacht as a Stewardess, and she never contacted him again. So he said now it's just him and his cat. Rofl!! Honey, your wife knows you're gay!
This season is very entertaining.

Harriet Craig is a highly polished 1950 remake of George Kelly's Pulitzer Prize winning play Craig's Wife, all about a demanding domestic goddess and the havoc she wreaks. Columbia borrowed WB star Joan Crawford & director Vincent Sherman for this version. This one plays to the image of Joan's perfectionism & personal style, to the extent it feels like you're watching a home movie! This housewife Harriet's home is designed by Billy Haines, with demonstrations in precision packing, and treating the man in your life like one of your beleaguered staff. The ingredient lacking from Joan's other '50s camp fests is humor, THIS Craig & Crawford are deadly serious. My look here:

CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) — A former Boeing manager who raised safety questions about the aircraft maker and was found dead after several days of depositions in South Carolina took his own life, police said Friday after concluding their investigation.
John Barnett, 62, of Louisiana, was found dead March 9, and police had said earlier that his injuries were self-inflicted.
Barnett was a longtime Boeing employee and worked as a quality-control manager before he retired in 2017. In the years after that, he shared his concerns with journalists.
Barnett said he saw discarded metal shavings near wiring for the flight controls that could have cut the wiring and caused a catastrophe. He also noted problems with up to a quarter of the oxygen systems on Boeing’s 787 planes.
“Information and records reviewed during the investigation uncovered Mr. Barnett’s longstanding mental health challenges, which had intensified in connection with ongoing legal proceedings related to his whistleblower case,” police said in a statement.
Barnett was in Charleston answering questions for depositions for his whistleblower complaint, and a hearing on the matter was scheduled for June.
“John was deeply concerned about the safety of the aircraft and flying public, and had identified some serious defects that he felt were not adequately addressed,” Barnett’s brother, Rodney, said in a family statement shortly after his death. “He said that Boeing had a culture of concealment and was putting profits over safety.”
Boeing said in a statement, “We are saddened by Mr. Barnett’s passing, and our thoughts continue to be with his family and friends.”

My recent views:
Yellowstone (season 1) Great scenery and detail but a slow, lumbering plot and too much random violence and animal cruelty for my delicate constitution.
The Other Black Girl (season 1) This felt like young adult fare. A clever premise--how Black women can get ahead professionally by ignoring racism and being team players--but it didn't need to be 10 episodes. Many good performances and a few terrible ones. Features cravable Hunter Parrish.
The Morning Show (season 3) Better than the shitshow that was season 2 but that's not saying much. The most recent episode which featured a lot of Holland Taylor and no Reese Witherspoon was the best. Jon Hamm is not even trying and why cast a hunk as a billionaire? They never are.
The Chelsea Detective (seeason 1 and 2) A mystery series about a socially awkward, brilliant dyslexic cop who lives on a houseboat. Many misdirections and the plot thickens in the last 15 minutes.
Unforgotten (series 5) I wondered why the Met Police devotes so many resources to cold cases and then I realized how much lower the murder rate is proportionally in the UK vs the US

Am I allowed to say all of these things? I didn’t want to do the movie. I didn’t want to play this character.”
“The movie was great. It was Brad [Pitt]. It was Eric [Bana] and Peter O’Toole,” Bloom said. “But how am I going to play this character? It was completely against everything I felt in my being.

than any other actor. I could think of seven:
Cathy Lucas as Mavis Henscher in The Other Side of the Wind written a and directed by Orson Welles.
A spoof of Bogdanovich's then-girlfriend, actress Cybill Shepherd (who was present for at least some of the filming, and whose brother, Bill Shepherd, was part of the production crew filming in Arizona). A young actress, Henscher has difficulty balancing her acting career with the correspondence course her home state makes her take while working.
Cheryl Ladd as Pamela Verlaine in Permanent Midnight
"Sandra finds him a new job with a different series, No Such Luck, whose star Pamela Verlaine–herself a recovering addict–sternly but sympathetically insists that he kick his habit first. "
Sharon Stone as Blake Chandler in Irreconcilable Differences. (written and directed by Cybill's ex Peter Bogdanovich)-
When Albert sees a young woman named Blake Chandler working at a hot dog stand, he takes her home and casts her in his next film, which becomes a moderate success. When Lucy sees signs that Albert is interested in Blake for more than just acting, she divorces him, further troubling Casey. Albert ensures that Lucy gets custody of Casey, while he lives in a Hollywood mansion with Blake.
A turning point occurs when Lucy, angered both at Albert's procrastination in paying child support and at the sight of a sloppy, overweight woman in a supermarket buying the same comfort food as she is, hurries home and channels her anger into writing a tell-all novel. Meanwhile, Albert's producers are warning him not to attempt his musical remake of Gone with the Wind, which he is calling Atlanta, but Albert ignores their advice, and his budget for the picture skyrockets, mainly because of his own perfectionist attitude and Blake's mediocre singing voice, along with her diva-like behavior on set. Atlanta becomes an embarrassing box-office bomb, costing Albert any assignments in Hollywood and causing Blake to desert him.
Catherine O'Hara as Carol Ward on Six Feet Under. Carol was a neurotic actress that Lisa Kimmel (Lili Taylor) worked for. One of the writers had worked for Cybill Shephard as a nanny. Also creator Alan Ball has worked on her sitcom.
Annette Benning as Carolyn Bernham in American Beauty. Interview with Alan Ball- "...hating his job, you know, having to run Cybill. There's a lot of Cybill in Carolyn. There's a lot of me in Ricky, there's a lot of my dad in the Colonel, and there's a lot of my mom in the Colonel's wife...."
And of course, Cybill Shepherd as Cybill Sheridan on Cybill– Cybill is a middle aged actress who has had a varied, though mediocre career (which, even in her salad days, seems to have consisted primarily of television commercials, soap operas, and B-movies). She now finds that, due to her age, roles are becoming harder to find and that the quality of roles she is offered is diminishing. Her fortunes seem to vary over the course of the series. Sometimes, she has consistent work and appears to be relatively wealthy, other times, she scrambles to find and keep jobs, and seems to be struggling financially; this inconsistency the most successful actors tend to have their professional ups and downs, both financially and creatively.
What say you guys. She's really not that interesting of a person, but str8 dudes love having a piece like her on their arm.

In 2000 she was voted the UK's favorite actress thanks to her performances as those two redoubtable dowagers of the BBC's television schedules: Hyacinth Bucket (pronounced "Bouquet") and Hetty Wainthropp.
The roles in which she's found such success disguise the depth of her craft: at Strafford in Shakespeare, at the Nation Theater in musicals such as Carousel, or in sensitive portraits like Alan Bennett's Talking Heads, she's displayed her effortless versatility. But she knows how much of a disguise it all can be. "The essential you comes out," she says, "because you are vulnerable up there. Whatever big hat you got on."

I’m not terribly surprised. He had done that stupid Purple Hearts movie and he started getting tons of followers, and he kept posting updates of how his followers were going up. He thinks very highly of himself. Here’s the thing, and wish someone had told him this before he did this:
(Channeling inner Shirley Maclaine)
He is not special enough to be a straight actor. He is not a Star. He does not have the talent or charisma to make this worthwhile. He shows up to the Met Gala wearing a black tux. He is self serious and interviews poorly. His body veers toward doughiess, his features are pronouncedly feminine.
He is the Diversity Hire. That was his ticket into Hollywood. He could not do this, after doing so many queer roles, which he was only getting because it was more or less assumed he would eventually come out publicly. He is not anybody you would cast in any straight role unless the actor needs to register nonthreatening softness. He could not play Jonathan Bailey’s role in Bridgerton.
Jonathan Bailey is going up and up and up. Not because he is a gay actor. But because he is a Star. Andrew Scott is going up because he is exceptionally talented. Nicholas Galitzine is neither of those. He started rising at a very curious time in Hollywood in which the burden on gay actors of gay actordom is beginning to go away, but at the same time actors are expected to be gay if they take a lot of gay roles. It would have behooved him to cling to this like driftwood, because now, when it comes down to it, if I am in casting and I have to choose between him and a straight actor for a straight role, I am going to choose the one that does not pout his lips like Queen Nefertiti.
After Gus Kenworthy came out, his ex cruelly taunted him (bad breakup) and wrote online:
“…you were not fooling anyone. Any man who knows the entire soundtrack to the Broadway musical “wicked” is not bringing in the ladies, unless it’s for a themed dinner party.”
Nicholas Galitzine was already typecast as “man who knows the song score to Wicked.” This was highly self-defeating, unnecessary, makes the people who cast him in queer roles look like idiots, and establishes him as a professional nincompoop. He will never get the straight roles that he really wants, and now the gay roles will be offered to someone else. He should have just said nothing.
God I hate actors.

One of the greatest actresses of all time.
Dame Judith was born in the 1890's in Australia. In the 1910's she moved to America to start a new theatrical life. After a rough start, she soon became a name in the New York society circles. Working with Donald Wolfit, Lillian Gish, Louis Calhern, Maurice Evans, Lionel Barrymore, and Gladys Cooper.
Her Lady Macbeth and Medea are regarded as some of the greatest theatrical performances of all time.
Anderson was an instant success in films- Rebecca, All Through the Night, Kings Row, Edge of Darkness, Laura, And Then There Were None, The Diary of a Chambermaid, The Strange Love of Martha Ivers, Pursued, The Red House, Salome, The Ten Commandments, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, Cinderfella, A Man Called Horse, and Star Trek III: The Search for Spock.
She was so famous that Walt Disney based Lady Tremaine, the Wicked Stepmother, on Judith Anderson. She was even going to voice the part, but she had stage obligations. Eleanor Audley was soon cast. Mel Brooks based Frau Bucher in Young Frankenstein on her too, mole and all.

Another biopic, another remarkable transformation.
Billy Zane transformed into “The Godfather” star Marlon Brando for the new biopic, “Waltzing with Brando.”
Zane, 58, posted images from the set — where he looks identical to Brando — on his Instagram Thursday.
The film, directed by Bill Fishman and based on Bernard Judge’s memoir called “Waltzing with Brando: Planning a Paradise in Tahiti,” is up for sale at Cannes Film Festival.
“Waltzing with Brando” is set in the late 1960s and early 1970s, when the Academy Award-winning actor purchased the private island atoll Tetiaroa in the South Pacific, where he filmed 1962’s “Mutiny On The Bounty.”
Brando fell in love with Tetiaroa and recruited Judge, an architect, to build a village, home and eco-hotel on the island.
In an interview with Deadline, Zane, who is also a producer on the film, said the Brando project is “a love letter to Tahiti, and him and his passion.”

LAS VEGAS (AP) — The iconic Mirage hotel-casino on the Las Vegas Strip will shut its doors this summer, the end of an era for a property credited with helping transform Sin City into an ultra-luxury resort destination.
The July 17 closure will clear the way for major renovations and construction on the 80-acre (32-hectare) property, which is to reopen in 2027 as the Hard Rock Las Vegas, featuring a hotel tower in the shape of a guitar soaring nearly 700 feet (about 210 meters) above the heart of the Strip.
“We’d like to thank the Las Vegas community and team members for warmly welcoming Hard Rock after enjoying 34 years at The Mirage,” Jim Allen, chairman of Hard Rock International, said Wednesday in a statement announcing the closure.
It will be the second time this year that a Strip casino shutters. The Tropicana Las Vegas closed in April after 67 years to make room for a $1.5 billion baseball stadium planned as the future home of the relocating Oakland A's.
Developed by former casino mogul Steve Wynn, the Mirage opened with a Polynesian theme as the Strip's first megaresort in 1989, spurring a building boom on the famous boulevard through the 1990s.
Its volcano fountain was one of the first sidewalk attractions, predating the Venetian’s canals and the Bellagio’s dancing fountains. It was known as a venue where tourists could see Siegfried and Roy taming white tigers or a Cirque du Soleil act set to a Beatles soundtrack.
The final curtain on the Beatles-themed show, which brought Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr back together for public appearances throughout its 18-year run, also comes down in July.
Hard Rock International said Wednesday that more than 3,000 employees will be laid off and it expects to pay out $80 million in severance.
The Culinary Workers Union, which has represented about 1,700 employees at the Mirage since it opened, said in a statement that the contract it won last year ensures laid-off workers will get $2,000 for each year of service.

If you haven’t seen this morning’s Face the Nation on CBS, Margaret Brennan interviews the Republican governor of South Dakota, Kristi Noem, whose memoir, “No Going Back,” will be released this Tuesday.
It is well worth watching.
Margaret Brennan is great.
The governor is not so great, but seems to have been pretty well coached in advance of this interview.
Her style of obfuscation is reminiscent of interviews with Kellyanne Conway.
Margaret Brennan also asks her about killing her 14-month-old dog, Cricket—and also a goat.
She’s a real piece of work.

Yorgos Lanthimos’ “Kinds of Kindness,” starring Emma Stone, freaked out Cannes Film Festival on Friday night with an anthology of stories about sex cults, cannibalism and general debauchery.
Lanthimos’ follow-up to “Poor Things” earned a 4.5-minute standing ovation, with the director and his cast — including Jesse Plemons, Willem Dafoe, Margaret Qualley, Hong Chau and Joe Alwyn — leaving while the applause was still going. There were a few walkouts during the Cannes premiere, most of them coming after the film’s gorier, second chapter. Lanthimos abruptly left the screening and didn’t speak to audience members once the clapping stopped.
The film, like many of Lanthimos’ avant-garde offerings, overflows with outré plot twists, outrageous moments — like Chau licking sweat off her followers as part of a cult ritual, a man who becomes convinced his wife is a pod person, and of course, Stone’s epic breakdance moves — and positively reckless driving. There’s also some culinary delights that aren’t for the faint of stomach, as well as some mutilations and graphic violence that might upset the squeamish. There’s also a great deal of absurdist humor, which much of the audience seemed to enjoy, laughing alone with some of the more WTF sequences.

. There is so much that can be written about him as he lived one of the most fascinating lives (in my opinion), but I will keep it short.
Jean-Louis Lebris de Kérouac (known as Jack Kerouac) was born on March 12, 1922 in Lowell, Massachusetts to French-Canadian parents. He grew up speaking French only despite being American, and didn’t begin learning English until he was six years old, and spoke English with a French accent until his late teen years when he finally was able to lose the accent. His parents were devout Catholics and he always credited his mother with instilling strong faith and Christian values in him from a young age.
Kerouac went to Lowell High School where he was a star athlete in football and wrestling. His skills as a running back in football earned him scholarship offers from Boston College, Notre Dame and Columbia, with him choosing Columbia. He spent a year at Horace Mann School in The Bronx, and after the year he entered Columbia.
He broke his leg while playing football his freshman year and then spent the majority of his sophomore year benched because he did not get along with the Coach and would get into screaming matches with him. He wrote sports articles for the college newspaper during this time and joined the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity. He also studied at The New School in NYC during this time.
When his football career at Columbia ended he decided to drop out of college. He stayed in NYC for a while, living on the Upper West Side with his girlfriend (and future first wife). During this time he met the Beat Generation figures who would shape his legacy and became figures in many of his novels.
Kerouac was a United States Merchant Mariner from July to October 1942 and served on the SS Dorchester before its maiden voyage. While a Merchant Mariner in 1942, Kerouac wrote his first novel, The Sea Is My Brother. The book was published in 2011, 70 years after it was written and over 40 years after Kerouac's death.
In 1944, Kerouac was arrested as a material witness in the murder of David Kammerer, who allegedly had been stalking Kerouac's friend Lucien Carr since he was a teen.
Later, Kerouac lived with his parents in the Ozone Park neighborhood of Queens, after they had also moved to New York. He wrote his first published novel, The Town and the City, and began On the Road around 1949 when living there.
The Town and the City was published in 1950 under the name "John Kerouac" and got some good reviews but flopped in sales.
For the next six years, Kerouac continued to write regularly. Building upon previous drafts tentatively titled "The Beat Generation" and "Gone on the Road," Kerouac completed what is now known as On the Road in April 1951, while living at 454 West 20th Street in Manhattan with his second wife, Joan Haverty. Kerouac completed the first version of the novel during a three-week extended session of spontaneous confessional prose. Kerouac wrote the final draft in 20 days, with Joan, his wife, supplying him with benzedrine, cigarettes, bowls of pea soup, and mugs of coffee to keep him going. After the book was finished being written in 1951, he struggled to find a publisher.
Kerouac had a history of heavy drinking and depression.
In 1957, over six years after it was written, Jack finally found someone who would publish “On The Road”. Viking Press purchased the book but demanded the book be heavily revised before they could publish it. Jack had to remove most of the sexually explicit passages in the book and was forced to use pseudonyms for his characters instead of using the real peoples names to avoid a libel suit. This revision sanitized the book greatly, to Kerouac’s dismay.
The success of the book brought Kerouac fame, but with fame comes both good and bad. Kerouac was jumped and beaten up numerous times by men on the street and his friends were constantly attacked also, as well as robbed. Kerouac became scared to go out in public.

President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden reportedly have a personal debt of up to $815,000, mainly from mortgage and equity loans on their Delaware home.
Biden's financial liabilities include a mortgage with TD Bank and a variable-rate home equity loan. Cash reserves have decreased compared to the previous year.
Following recent financial disclosures, as required under the Ethics in Government Act, Biden and his wife, Jill, are reportedly carrying a personal debt of up to $815,000.
The majority of the couple's debt is comprised of the mortgage on their Delaware home, which had a balance between $250,000 and $500,000, and a 2022 home equity loan secured by the property. Biden and Jill also have a $50,000 loan against a mutual fund and a $15,000 term loan.
The couple's reported assets range between $1 million and $2.6 million, while liabilities fall between $350,000 and $850,000.
Furthermore, President Biden reported a decrease in cash reserves compared to the previous year. One of his bank accounts showed a balance ranging from $50,000 to $100,000, down from $250,000 to $500,000 the previous year.
Another account displayed $50,000 to $100,000 in cash, a decline from $100,000 to $250,000 reported a year earlier.
In his financial disclosure form, Biden indicated that he did not receive any royalties from his books "Promises to Keep" and "Promise Me, Dad" this year.
Jill also disclosed no royalties from her memoir "Where the Light Enters" but acknowledged royalties of up to $1,000 from her children's books: "Don't Forget: God Bless Our Troop" and "JOEY: The Story of Joe Biden."
Furthermore, Jill Biden reported earning a salary from Northern Virginia Community College, where she has served as a professor since 2009. However, the specific amount was not disclosed.

It was 12 years ago this morning when TV viewers woke up to the breaking news that the 'Queen of Disco' was dead at 63 years old. What was shocking about her death was that no one knew she was diagnosed with lung cancer in August, 2011 as she kept her private life very private. Celebrities who were friends with her weren't aware of her illness, either - including record producer David Foster who was with her a few weeks earlier going over material for a new album. Barbra Streisand said she was shocked because she looked so 'vital' the last time she was with her in March at a friend's dinner party. Bruce Springsteen opened his concert in South America with a recording of Summer's 'Last Dance' and the appeared on stage teary eyed.
Summer won a collection of Grammys, had four #1 hits from 1978-79, and the only artist to score three #1 double albums consecutively. She set many records in her 35 year career, and was influential to a lot of female singers in the 80s - 20s.

Born to strict Baptist parents in Ohio, he didn't see his first non-Disney film until he was 20. Despite this sheltered upbringing, he became a directing legend by the time he was 40.
His debut film, The Last House on the Left, shocked audiences and critics alike, leading to his ostracism. Seeking refuge, he moved to the desert and created the popular The Hills Have Eyes, solidifying his reputation as a master of horror. In 1984, he won critical acclaim with A Nightmare on Elm Street, praised for its innovative plot, compelling performances, and lasting impact on the horror genre. In 1996, he surpassed his own expectations with Scream, and he continued to work on its sequels until his death in 2015.
Despite his success in horror, his true passions lay in classical music and wine, evident in his heartfelt project Music of the Heart. Reflecting on his character, Laurie Metcalf, who worked with him on Scream 2, once remarked, "Wes was gentle and calm, but you knew he was in charge. He was just a genuinely classy guy."
He was Wes Craven.

Back when she was first running for congress, and around the time of her divorce, Beth had a male campaign advisor commit suicide on her front lawn. She was cagey on the details back then, but said the guy had mental issues. Rumors circulated that Beth was having an affair with that guy, and ended it, but no one ever proved it.

According to legal documents obtained by The Blast, the actor — best known for portraying Leatherface in the remake of "The Texas Chain Saw Massacre" — received another restraining order for assaulting a roommate.
In the court documents, Lance Daniel B., a 57-year-old man, accused Bryniarski of being an abusive roommate. He claimed he had repeatedly asked Bryniarski to move out as he could no longer stomach his physical violence; however, he refused to budge.
Lance stressed that he requested a civil harassment restraining order because he wasn't safe living with Bryniarski. He noted the TV personality's most recent attack occurred on May 1 in front of someone named Tommy Johnson.
Bryniarski allegedly forced Lance against the front door gate of his home and kept shoving and pushing him into the gate. The 55-year-old also slapped and punched him in the face, marking the third time he had physically assaulted his roommate.
Lance, per the documents, claimed he suffered several injuries from Bryniarski's attacks. The most recent assault allegedly gave his left eye "hazy vision" for a few hours, and the punches to the face also left a mark.
As for his previous attacks, the terrified roommate accused Bryniarski of entering his room on April 16 and slapping him in the face. He also shoved Lance down to the kitchen floor in August 2023, causing him to sprain his wrist and bruise his tailbone.

How can I be masculine? I unfortunately have always been rather feminine, and way too pretty, which really distresses me a lot. I want more than anything to be like those hot jock frat guys I see everywhere (especially in porn), and that everyone lusts for, but I don't have a clue. I've always had very very strong female influences in my life, and have been cursed (i think) with looking like Nicole Kidman (no shade to her, she's great, I just don't want to be a GUY that looks like her). Insecure straight guys always run from me, while I have no problem attracting closeted married guys (I mean, c'mon, make a choice). What I want more than anything is for those hot football and baseball jocks to want me as much as I want them, and while I have had some fun in the past with a few, they only see me as a good time and they never want to be seen with me. How can I be more masculine? I've tried everything, and when I do, it makes me even MORE obvious. Am I just stuck like this? I DO NOT want to be a girl, no matter how some guys want me to be.

The initiative has been set up by Marcus Urban, a former pro footballer who is gay.
The majority response from football fans has been one of anger... "No one cares", "Stop making football about politics" etc. Yet if no one cares, why are so many football fans pissed off about it? And why do they never admonish straight players for going public about their girlfriends and wives?!

A large apartment of 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, between Park and Madison, with a superb step-down living room of 650 square feet with dual exposures, a Tudor style strapwork plaster ceiling and handsome paneling and herringbone wood floors. Very Stockbroker Tudor style, and very well done. The entrance hall divides the step-down living room, dining room, and kitchen from a lower ceilinged bedroom/entry zone.
Built in 1926 to designs of architects Pleasants Pennington & Albert W. Lewis, it's not been ruined on renovation and retains most of its period details, the kitchen the one exception (while not bad, it's not terribly attractive ir up to the rest of the place).
A bedroom or two more than I would like, but outside my reach whether 2 or 4 bedrooms. I like the plan very much, the two main zones, the entry hall with it's seating area, and the living room and dining room are elegant, bright spaces.
Monthly fees are $12,700 (including property tax as it's a co-op).

Rebecca Grossman, a rich and powerful Los Angeles socialite, sped her Mercedes through a crosswalk and killed Mark Iskander, 11, and his 8-year-old brother, Jacob, as they were crossing the street with their mother and younger brother.
Nancy Iskander, a biotech executive, grabbed her son, Zachary, who was 5 at the time, and dove out of the way. But she and her youngest son witnessed the crash.
Grossman, 60, had prescription drugs and alcohol in her system at the time of the 2020 crash, prosecutors told Fox News Digital. Although she was married to a prominent Los Angeles surgeon, Dr. Peter Grossman, she was racing her boyfriend, former MLB pitcher Scott Erickson, home from a restaurant. Each of them were driving Mercedes-Benz SUVs above 70 mph.
Jurors found her guilty in February, but she has not yet been sentenced. Not only has she never expressed remorse, her "games" in court and from behind bars have antagonized the grieving family for years, Iskander said.
"She had many opportunities to show mercy, and she did not show any mercy on my family," Iskander told Fox News Digital. "In fact, she only showed hate – all sorts of hate in many, many ways – as if we're her No. 1 enemy in the world."
The Iskander family has accused Grossman of toying with the justice system throughout the process, appealing her charges to the state Supreme Court before trial and then in March attempting to tamper with the jury.
Deputy District Attorneys Ryan Gould and Jamie Castro sent jailhouse phone call transcripts to the court in March that allegedly showed Grossman violating a gag order on the case and openly discussing attempts to interfere with witnesses and influence the judge, FOX 11 Los Angeles reported at the time.
"It feels so unfair not only to lose the kids but also to find yourself in the middle of a fight and with a person who wants to hurt you as much as possible in the middle of it," Iskander said.
"A person killed two children. They didn't do anything wrong. She's a murderer," Iskander said. "It should be a straightforward process, right? And I mean, for society, it has to be a straightforward process."

Strictly has just celebrated its 20th anniversary and the after much speculation it has been widely reported that Giovanni has SENSATIONALLY QUIT.
There's speculation about legal action from Amanda Abbington who felt bullied after pulling out and creating a DANCE DISASTER and Ranvir Singh and Laura Whitmore also had unhappy experiences on the show with Giovanni. There were also stories about his behaviour towards Faye Tozer and Michelle Visage.
There's a fine line between demanding excellence and just being an abusive twat and Giovanni has apparently crossed the line.
I wonder if Rose Ayling Ellis was different because she was always paired with a chaperone to translate?
Anyway if Giovanni does quit will the gurning ginger guy replace him or will they get a new pro in?
Celebrity wise it's Olympic year so expect a few Olympians. Tom Daley is a long standing target (just imagine Dustin's waxy face as he rubs crotches with Gorka) and the producers would be desperate for Laura Kenny although she's happy just being at home with her kids now. Maybe non lesbian lioness Steph Houghton who is retiring this summer?
Sara and Keren from Bananarama must have turned it down countless times as they'd not be up for all that work but Siobhan might be up for it. And Susan Ann Sulley from The Human League would do a great paso.

A family is pleading for answers in the search for a University of Missouri student who has been missing since Friday after he left a bar in Nashville, Tennessee.
Riley Strain, 22, a senior, was last seen Friday night by friends at a bar in Nashville’s bustling Broadway area, known for nightlife, Nashville police said.
He was visiting town with his Delta Chi fraternity brothers for their spring formal, the St. Louis-Post Dispatch reported, but they got separated after he was asked to leave country singer Luke Bryan's bar, Luke’s 32 Bridge Food + Drink, his family told NBC affiliate WSMV of Nashville.
“At approximately 9:45 p.m., he was asked to leave Luke Bryan’s bar,” Strain’s stepfather, Chris Whiteid, told the station. “They got separated. The boys called him, and he said, 'I’m walking back to my hotel.' They didn’t think anything about it.”
When his friends returned to Tempo Hotel, about a half-mile away, they saw Strain’s room key but no sign of him. When they tried to call him, his phone was dead.
The young men went out to search for him, checked his Snapchat locations, and they went through the other fraternity brothers’ rooms but did not find him, so they called his parents.
Whiteid, along with his wife, Michelle Whiteid, traveled from Springfield, Missouri, to Nashville to search for him.
“We talk every day, multiple times a day,” Michelle Whiteid said. “This is the longest I’ve ever gone without talking to him.”
“We’re in a bad dream. Can we wake up? Please, just let us wake up,” her husband told WSMV.
Chris Whiteid told the Post-Dispatch that according to security video, it appeared that Strain was heading back to the hotel but took a wrong turn. It's not clear where the video was from.
Searches took place Monday, including a helicopter search of Gay Street, the area where Strain was last seen, the riverbank and a ground search, “but to no avail,” police said.
On Tuesday, police shared security video showing Strain, wearing a two-tone shirt, crossing 1st Avenue North to Gay Street at 9:47 p.m. Friday. That cross-section is about 0.7 miles from the bar he was at earlier.
TC Restaurant Group, the operator and owner of Luke’s 32 Bridge, said it, too, was working with police to provide security camera video and other potentially helpful information to aid in the search.
Strain is described as 6-foot-5 with a thin build, blue eyes and light brown hair.

34 years ago this month, on May 22, 1990, Madonna released her studio album "I'm Breathless' (Music From and Inspired By The Film 'Dick Tracy'). Madonna co-starred in the movie with her boyfriend (at the time) Warren Beatty, playing 'Breathless Mahoney'. Her acting was forgettable, but this album was one of her best (IMO). Three songs were written by Stephen Sondheim, and several songs were co-written by Madonna. The album incorporated pop, jazz and swing. The album peaked at #2 on the Hot 200 Albums Chart in the US, but hit #1 in many countries around the world.
The lead single was "Vogue" and the follow-up was "Hanky Panky". Sondheim's "Sooner or Later" won the Academy Award for 'Best Song' that year. "Vogue" topped the Hot 100 Singles Chart in the US, as well the 'Dance Charts', and went to #1 in other countries. In the summer of 1990, her second single "Hanky Panky" peaked at #10 on the Hot 100 Singles, and did about the same in other countries.
What do you all think of the album ? Is it one that's on your Madonna playlist (if you still listen to her) ?

A lot of people are speculating who would fill the Democratic candidacy for President should Biden step aside because he's 'too old' (I'm happy with Biden and his performance, personally). So we need someone 'younger'.
I know there are different names mentioned often (most often is Newsom, less often is Harris) but no one ever mentions SoS Blinken. I'm surprised - he comes across as 'authorative' and 'presidential' on TV; speaks very well (unlike Trump or the other GOP candidates), and doesn't seem to be the type to be afraid of GOP attacks.
What do you others think - would he be a good candidate for '24 should it become available ?

Richard Johnston Porter II was born on August 31, 1954 in Houston, TX. He graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a BA in drama and acting. After graduating he moved to NYC and got his MA in screenwriting and directing at Columbia University. After finishing college he began going on acting auditions in NYC and landed a few guest spots on tv but in 1978 he landed a major role on Another World. Porter played Larry Ewing on Another World from 1978 to 1986, when he decided to leave. In 1989 he appeared as his character one last time for a single episode in a guest spot. While working on Another World he also worked as part of the camera and electrical department for a handful of low budget films, being hired as the Still Photographer.
After leaving Another World he did a few guest spots on tv shows and landed a short-term recurring role as Hank Tobin on Days of Our Lives in 1989. Porter grew tired of living in NYC and moved to Arizona for a while and then to California. In 1993 he did one last guest role on Walker, Texas Ranger, then in 1994 he did a tv movie and his final acting job was a voice acting job 1996 for a video game. After this be decided to quit acting 100% (he had already pretty much quit but did those few small jobs while working as an entrepreneur) and began working in marketing and consulting.
Porter moved back where he felt most at home and happiest, his native city of Houston. He was married twice in his life and had one daughter.
On February 25, 2013, Porter passed away from congestive heart failure in Houston, TX at 58 years old. He was cremated.
Not many photos of him exist online (despite him being in many soap magazines and tv guide back in the day) and he wasn’t traditionally a “beefcake”, but I still found him attractive in his own way and always appreciated him.

Disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein’s “Little Black Book” of contacts has gone up for auction, where it is expected to fetch upwards of $200,000.
The convicted pedophile kept names, phone numbers and addresses of multiple high-profile people contained in the book, such as former president Donald Trump, Robert F Kennedy Jr, and attorney Alan Dershowitz.
Epstein was found dead in his New York prison cell in 2019 while awaiting trial for sex trafficking. His former girlfriend and associate, British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell, was convicted of similar charges and sentenced to 20 years behind bars in June 2022.
Details of many of Epstein’s associates were revealed in unsealed criminal documents earlier this year.

I'm curious if this has happened to anyone else. I know we all have different 'versions' of posts we get served on Instagram's explore page in which IG shares content the algorithm thinks you'll be interested in based upon who you follow and the content you engage with on the platform. For the past week, I keep getting served memorial posts from seemingly dozens of different Instagays (primarily NY and LA Instagays) mourning the sudden, unexpected loss of their friend Pete Borbap ("borbap" on Instagram.)
Let me be clear, I am in no way mocking their loss. In fact, this Pete Borbap guy must have been pretty damn terrific. From this outpouring of memorial posts it sounds like he was a truly lovely person who was a very good and caring friend to -- seemingly -- every reasonably fit, good looking 20-50 year old gay man in LA or NY. He apparently was nicknamed "Grandma Pete" for the way he took care of friends, which is very sweet.
Anyway, I'm just curious if anyone else is being served a bunch of these posts? Or, better yet, if you were a friend of "Grandma Pete". (If you were... I condole you.)
Yeah, I follow a few Instagays, but most of the stuff I follow is either real-life friends, comedians, musicians or non-mainstream news sources like ProPublica. I mean, clearly, IG knows I'm as gay as the day is long.

I don't want to be a Debbie Downer, but do any of you think about death? I got a cancer diagnosis 3 years ago, and while it doesn't appear to have spread, so far I have refused treatment. I just don't want the extensive treatment and certainly don't want surgery. I don't really have a fear of death, since I had a near-death experience years ago, I just don't want any pain of any kind. Just wondering if any of you think about the end of your life.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Vice President Kamala Harris used a profanity on Monday while offering advice to young Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders about how to break through barriers.
Harris was participating in a conversation moderated by actor and comedian Jimmy O. Yang when he asked her what it means to be the first vice president of Asian descent and how that heritage has informed her views and roles as a leader. Harris' mother was from India and her father was from Jamaica, and she's the first woman elected vice president.
Harris gave a lengthy response in which she told the young people to keep their chins up when they go into spaces where no one else looks like them.
She added: “We have to know that sometimes people will open the door for you and leave it open. Sometimes they won’t. And then you need to kick that f——— door down."
The audience clapped and hollered. Laughing herself, Harris said, “Excuse my language.”

Justin Bieber is sporting a spanking-new hairline, and medical experts believe it didn't come naturally.
According to cosmetic surgeons who compared photos of the 30-year-old hitmaker from 2021 and 2022 to a more recent picture, there is little doubt the Biebs put down cash to plant hair in his head.
"In the before photos, he's displaying classic male pattern baldness," notes Manhattan-based cosmetic cutter Dr. Yoel Shahar. "The angle of the hair goes deep and backward on the sides, and in the recent photo, his hairline looks more forward and is not at as sharp an angle. From one side to another, it looks almost horizontal. That sort of effect always comes from hair transplantation."
Dr. Nicholas Jones, an Atlanta-based cosmetic surgeon, agrees, saying Justin's hairline has undergone a "dramatic change" and "seemingly swift and complete" transformation.

Gen X has always been ignored, insulted, demeaned, and blamed for everything that's wrong with the world. But is the so-called "Karen Generation" really as bad as the media would have us believe?
Back in 2019, Generation X’s legacy as the forgotten generation was cemented by a CBS News graphic. Titled “Generation Guidelines Defined By Birth Year,” it listed “Baby Boomers (54–72 years old)” followed by “Millennials (22–37 years old)” with no acknowledgment of the yawning void where the 38-to-53–year-olds should have been. It was perhaps the most Generation X thing to ever happen.
As a small generation (65 million) sandwiched between two spotlight-hogging demographic powerhouses—Baby Boomers (76 million) and Millennials (83 million)—Gen X has had decades of experience being overlooked. Hell, our own parents had to be reminded of our existence by a televised public-service announcement that intoned “It’s 10 o’clock. Do you know where your children are?” In the ginned-up media battles between Baby Boomers and Millennials, Gen X’s willingness to kick back and let them fight is the stuff of countless memes.
But something has changed in the past year or so. Despite decades of erasure, it seems that my generation has been remembered just in time to serve as the latest scapegoat for all the social, political, and cultural ills that younger generations feel righteously duty-bound to pin on previous ones. Online, Gen X has been dismissed as “Boomer 2.0,” “Boomer Lite,” and “The Karen Generation.” We’ve been accused of being excessively Trumpy, of having “ZERO empathy,” and of just generally sucking.
We are also, as it happens, officially old. Hip-hop turned 50 this year. Adam Sandler is on the cover of AARP magazine. Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love’s daughter just married Tony Hawk’s son. We’re parenting our children (and sometimes our grandchildren), caring for our elderly parents, and facing the stark reality that retirement won’t be an option for many of us. We’re monitoring our cholesterol, white-knuckling through hot flashes, and fitting orthotics into our Chuck Taylors. At a recent Breeders reunion show in San Francisco, my friend Rita watched the man in front of her do some exploratory pogos as the band launched into “Cannonball” before realizing that, sadly, his knees were no longer about that life.
The aging and the scapegoating are not coincidental. In general, I tend to agree with the theory that young people can’t be bothered to differentiate among old people and therefore call anyone north of 40 a Boomer. Still, it seems fair to explore whether these charges have merit. Does Gen X suck? Are we the new Boomers? Let’s take a look at three of the boldest accusations.
Gen X is not only conservative, but wingnut conservative.
Back in October 2022, Kurt Anderson—founder of Spy, the 1980s magazine that set the template for internet snark—tweeted a snippet of a New York Times/Siena poll that showed a 45–64 age group answering the question “Which party’s candidate are you more likely to vote for in this year’s election for Congress” with a 59 percent vote for the GOP. “Why are Gen X, uniquely among age groups, so strongly Republican and weakly Democrat?” asked Anderson.
His query was preceded a few months earlier by a Politico piece that profiled Iowa State Congress member Cherielynn Westrich, onetime keyboardist for late-’90s Weezer side project The Rentals, by way of explaining “How Gen X Became the Trumpiest Generation.” Author Ben Jacobs asserted that “there were always hints of a more right-wing inclination culturally even if they may have been camouflaged by the less politically charged atmosphere at the time.” His sole illustrative example? Michael J. Fox’s Family Ties character, Alex P. Keaton.

Yes! So I was on a work trip and at a dinner with about 20 people, a co-worker sat across from me I barely knew. Next to me was another co-worker who fley in from the UK. He was going on about Prince Charles and such and then goes "what about TRUMP? Do you think he is going to win?" I said "Oh god please don't bring up politics." My co-worker goes "well all the polls say he is going to win in a landslide, but they said that in 2020 and he did overnight but the next day he suddenly lost." Oh boy. I just stopped participating and turned to my other neighbour to talk. When the Trumpster got up to go to the bathroom I talked to my UK friend. I said "I don't know what polls he is reading but the only ones saying Trump will win in a landslide are from Fox news" and my UK friend called Trump a twat and could not believe what that idiot across the table was saying. To my relief. The trumpeter was one of the dangerous ones. He does not look like the crazy hat wearing diaper wearing nut balls.

Assassin's Creed fan Kaida is accusing the game company Ubisoft of fishing for browny points with their latest Assassin's Creed game. AssCreed is a multi billion dollar video game franchise that has existed since 2007. In its stories, the games usually combines historial facts with a made up story about an ancient civilization from 80000 years ago. SPOILER: They died because of a solar storm. This will happen to us too in 2036. However, many gamers are now annoyed because there was always some realism to the game's stories but instead of telling a tale about native Japanese people in the franchise's latest installment that will be released this year, they chose to use a character as the main protagonist, that is often not more than in footprint in the real world's (our Earth) history. I still have a crush on Desmond Miles from Assassin's Creed (2007).

Gayle King is reigning supreme on the 2024 cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit.
The CBS Mornings co-host, who turns 70 later this year, says she thought she was “being punked” when she was asked to be in the 60th Anniversary Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue out May 17.
“It wasn’t something I dreamed about,” King tells PEOPLE of the honor, “but it was one of the highlights of all the things I’ve done because I never thought this would be possible.”
King was surprised with her cover spot reveal during a live on-air segment of CBS Mornings on Tuesday, May 14, with Hunter McGrady and Kate Upton — who also have solo covers — handing Kin her issue.
"Ahhh! I'm on the cover," the journalist screamed with excitement, holding the issue. "They told me I was just going to be on the inside! It's not a dummy cover? This is going to be on the newsstands? Oh my God! Oh my God!"
"I’m floating, I’m floating, I can’t believe it," she said, noting she didn't think she'd ever be on the cover. "Never in my wildest dreams! Never, ever, ever."

The 6% commission, a standard in home purchase transactions, is no more.
In a sweeping move expected to dramatically reduce the cost of buying and selling a home, the National Association of Realtors announced Friday a settlement with groups of homesellers, agreeing to end landmark antitrust lawsuits by paying $418 million in damages and eliminating rules on commissions.
The NAR, which represents more than 1 million Realtors, also agreed to put in place a set of new rules. One prohibits agents’ compensation from being included on listings placed on local centralized listing portals known as multiple listing services, which critics say led brokers to push more expensive properties on customers. Another ends requirements that brokers subscribe to multiple listing services — many of which are owned by NAR subsidiaries — where homes are given a wide viewing in a local market. Another new rule will require buyers’ brokers to enter into written agreements with their buyers.
The agreement effectively will destroy the current homebuying and selling business model, in which sellers pay both their broker and a buyer’s broker, which critics say have driven housing prices artificially higher.
By some estimates, real estate commissions are expected to fall 25% to 50%, according to TD Cowen Insights. This will open up opportunities for alternative models of selling real estate that already exist but don’t have much market share, including flat-fee and discount brokerages.
Homebuilder stocks rose Friday midday on the news: Lennar shares gained 2.6%, PulteGroup shares added 1.1% and Toll Brothers shares added 1%.
For the average-priced American home for sale — $417,000 — sellers are paying more than $25,000 in brokerage fees. Those costs are passed on to the buyer, boosting the price of homes in America. That fee could fall by between $6,000 and $12,000, according to TD Cowen Insights’ analysis.
“While the settlement comes at a significant cost, we believe the benefits it will provide to our industry are worth that cost,” said Kevin Sears, president of the NAR, in a statement.
In November, a federal jury in Missouri found the NAR and two brokerages liable for $1.8 billion in damages for conspiring to keep agent commissions artificially high. Because it was an antitrust case, the NAR was potentially on the hook for triple those damages — $5.4 billion.
The NAR had pledged to appeal the case, but other brokerages settled — and, eventually, so did the NAR, on Friday.
“NAR has worked hard for years to resolve this litigation in a manner that benefits our members and American consumers,” said Nykia Wright, interim CEO of NAR, in a statement. “It has always been our goal to preserve consumer choice and protect our members to the greatest extent possible. This settlement achieves both of those goals.”
The NAR had required homesellers to include the compensation for agents when placing a listing on a multiple listing service. Although NAR has long said commissions are negotiable and that the structure helped making housing more affordable for buyers, critics have long argued that the fees were expected and homesellers felt they would lose buyers if they didn’t offer them.
Homesellers who brought lawsuits against the NAR have argued that in a competitive market, the cost of the buyer’s agent’s commission should be paid by the buyer who received the service, not by the seller. The sellers who brought the lawsuit against the NAR and the brokerages said that buyers should be able to negotiate the fee with their agent, and that the sellers should not be on the hook for paying it.

They struggle to cope with 1,000s of unread messages: ‘Hardest part of my job’
It’s just not clicking for them.
For millennials and older, the “You Got Mail” notification rarely incited stress.
In fact, most folks over thirty can still remember feeling a flush of excitement upon receiving an email — be it from work, family, friends or even advertisers — during its early stages in the early aughts.
But to the digital natives of Generation Z, getting electronic correspondence, namely from the office, is apparently as anxiety-inducing as getting sentenced to the electric chair.
Babbel researchers recently conducted a survey of 2,000 U.S. office workers to determine that employees between the ages of 18 to 24 are the most likely to let emails pile up.
The findings indicated that more than a third, 36%, of Gen Z professionals say they have over 1,000 unread emails in their inbox, compared with 18% of office workers overall.
For youngsters on the job, the accumulation of unanswered missives creates a hefty layer of pressure to open, read and properly respond to the messages. And once they finally reply, a whopping 1 in 5 Gen Zs report “very often” regretting the emails they send.
The formality of emailing, compared to the laissez-faire nature of texting or social media direct messaging, too, makes twenty-somethings feel uncomfortable.
“Gen Z’s communication preferences are heavily influenced by the prevalence of instant messaging platforms and social media,” said Touma. “Platforms like Snapchat and Instagram, for example, prioritize instantaneous communication, informality and visual cues.”
“The structured and formal nature of email communication may feel unfamiliar and more complicated to many [Gen Zers],” the insider added.
And he’s right — the kids are not alright.

Wuhan scientists were planning to release enhanced airborne coronaviruses into Chinese bat populations to inoculate them against diseases that could jump to humans, leaked grant proposals dating from 2018 show.
New documents show that just 18 months before the first Covid-19 cases appeared, researchers had submitted plans to release skin-penetrating nanoparticles containing “novel chimeric spike proteins” of bat coronaviruses into cave bats in Yunnan, China.
They also planned to create chimeric viruses, genetically enhanced to infect humans more easily, and requested $14million from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (Darpa) to fund the work.
Papers, confirmed as genuine by a former member of the Trump administration, show they were hoping to introduce “human-specific cleavage sites” to bat coronaviruses which would make it easier for the virus to enter human cells.
When Covid-19 was first genetically sequenced, scientists were puzzled about how the virus had evolved such a human-specific adaptation at the cleavage site on the spike protein, which is the reason it is so infectious.
The documents were released by Drastic, the web-based investigations team set up by scientists from across the world to look into the origins of Covid-19.
In a statement, Drastic said: “Given that we find in this proposal a discussion of the planned introduction of human-specific cleavage sites, a review by the wider scientific community of the plausibility of artificial insertion is warranted.”
The proposal also included plans to mix high-risk natural coronavirus strains with more infectious but less dangerous varieties.
The bid was submitted by British zoologist Peter Daszak of EcoHealth Alliance, the US-based organisation, which has worked closely with the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) researching bat coronaviruses.
Team members included Dr Shi Zhengli, the WIV researcher dubbed “bat woman”, pictured below, as well as US researchers from the University of North Carolina and the United States Geological Survey National Wildlife Health Centre.
Darpa refused to fund the work, saying: “It is clear that the proposed project led by Peter Daszak could have put local communities at risk”, and warned that the team had not properly considered the dangers of enhancing the virus (gain of function research) or releasing a vaccine by air.
Grant documents show that the team also had some concerns about the vaccine programme and said they would “conduct educational outreach … so that there is a public understanding of what we are doing and why we are doing it, particularly because of the practice of bat-consumption in the region”.
Angus Dalgleish, Professor of Oncology at St Georges, University of London, who struggled to get work published showing that the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) had been carrying out “gain of function” work for years before the pandemic, said the research may have gone ahead even without the funding.
“This is clearly a gain of function, engineering the cleavage site and polishing the new viruses to enhance human cell infectibility in more than one cell line,” he said.
Daszak was also behind a letter published in The Lancet last year which effectively shut down scientific debate into the origins of Covid-19.
Viscount Ridley, who has co-authored a book on the origin of Covid-19, due for release in November, and who has frequently called for a further investigation into what caused the pandemic in the House of Lords, said: “For more than a year I tried repeatedly to ask questions of Peter Daszak with no response.
“Now it turns out he had authored this vital piece of information about virus work in Wuhan but refused to share it with the world. I am furious. So should the world be.
“Peter Daszak and the EcoHealth Alliance (EHA) proposed injecting deadly chimeric bat coronaviruses collected by the Wuhan Institute of Virology into humanised and ‘batified’ mice, and much, much more.”

How did she feel in late 2022, when she finally wrapped the arduous production?
“Like I knew I was going to need the two years that it took for the movie to come out to deal with it,” she said.
Taylor-Joy told me that championing Furiosa often felt like a solitary experience.
“I’ve never been more alone than making that movie,” she said, choosing her words carefully. “I don’t want to go too deep into it, but everything that I thought was going to be easy was hard.”
Her reticence reminded me of when I first spoke to the actors who had made “Fury Road”: During that shoot, the desperation of the characters bled into their real lives, and unpacking that experience took a very long time. Sensing that she was skirting a sensitive issue, I asked Taylor-Joy what exactly it was about “Furiosa” that had proved more difficult than she expected. For five long seconds, she contemplated giving me an answer.
“Next question, sorry,” she said. There was a faraway look in her eyes, as if a part of her had been left behind in that wasteland. “Talk to me in 20 years,” she said. “Talk to me in 20 years.”

Target confirmed that it won't be carrying its LGBTQ+ merchandise for Pride month in June in some stores after the discount retailer received backlash last year for its assortment that also cut into sales.
Target, which operates roughly 2,000 stores, said Friday that the decision to offer Pride merchandise, including adult apparel, home products, food and beverage at the stores will be based on "guest insights and consumer research."
A Target spokeswoman declined to disclose the number of stores that won't be carrying the merchandise. But a full assortment will be offered online, Target said.
"Target is committed to supporting the LGBTQIA+ community during Pride Month and year-round," Target said in an emailed statement to The Associated Press. "Most importantly, we want to create a welcoming and supportive environment for our LGBTQIA+ team members, which reflects our culture of care for the over 400,000 people who work at Target. "
The moves, first reported by Bloomberg, come after Target removed some items from its stores and made other changes to its LGBTQ+ merchandise nationwide ahead of Pride month last year after intense reaction from some customers who confronted workers and tipped over displays. Target also moved Pride displays to the back of its stores in certain Southern locations last year.
But Target faces a second backlash from customers upset by the discount retailer's reaction to aggressive, anti-LGBTQ+ activism, which has also been sweeping through Republican state legislatures. Civil rights groups had scolded the company for caving to anti-LGBTQ+ customers who expressed outrage over gender-fluid bathing suits that it had carried. The anti-LGBTQ+ customers also posted threatening videos on social media from inside the stores.
Target's latest moves are just another example of how companies are struggling to cater to different groups of customers at a time of extreme cultural divides, particularly around transgender rights. Last year, brand Bud Light got negative response from customers angered by its attempt to broaden its customer base by partnering with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney.

Apparently the Buffalo music venue had signs posted everywhere forbidding moshing/crowd surfing and had included the policy in the band's contract.
2-minutes into the first song of their set, the enormous lead singer of pop punk band Trophy Eyes heaved himself without warning off the stage into a small group of concertgoers standing in front of it, including tiny, 24 year old mega-fan Piche, partially paralyzing her in the process.
This isn't the first time he's injured people doing this and when fans have expressed concerns about it on twitter, his response was simply, "fuck you". The band has since expressed their deepest sympathy for the girl whose life will forever be altered and who will likely never walk again, calling it a freak accident. They have also contributed $5,000 to the Go Fund Me page created for her. While they did end the show early, they have not cancelled the remainder of their tour.
Some Trophy Eyes fans are saying that's what you sign up for when you go to punk shows. What do you think?

Miss USA 2023 is stepping away from the crown.
Noelia Voigt, 24, announced May 6 in an Instagram post that she is resigning from the coveted title to focus on her mental health.
Voigt shared a lengthy message on social media with the caption, in part, "I realize this may come as a large shock to many. Never compromise your physical and mental well-being." She then thanked those for their "unwavering support."
In the text photo, Voigt shared, "In life, I strongly value the importance of making decisions that feel best for you and your mental health. As individuals, we grow through experiencing different things in life that lead us to learning more about ourselves. My journey as Miss USA has been incredibly meaningful, representing Utah with pride, and later the USA at Miss Universe. Sadly, I have made the very tough decision to resign from the title of Miss USA 2023.

Joe Biden is the least popular commander in chief at this point of his presidency in the last 70 years, below even Richard Nixon and Jimmy Carter, according to a blistering new poll — imperiling his chances of re-election.
Biden, 81, notched a dismal 38.7% job approval rating for the first quarter of 2024, the venerable Gallup Poll found in a survey released Friday, three points lower than that of the one-term George H.W. Bush at the same point in his presidency.
“With about six months remaining before Election Day, Biden stands in a weaker position than any prior incumbent,” the pollsters concluded.

"To the Columbia Community:
Over the past six months, many have spoken in our name. Some are well-meaning alumni or non-affiliates who show up to wave the Israeli flag outside Columbia’s gates. Some are politicians looking to use our experiences to foment America’s culture war. Most notably, some are our Jewish peers who tokenize themselves by claiming to represent “real Jewish values,” and attempt to delegitimize our lived experiences of antisemitism. We are here, writing to you as Jewish students at Columbia University, who are connected to our community and deeply engaged with our culture and history. We would like to speak in our name.
Many of us sit next to you in class. We are your lab partners, your study buddies, your peers, and your friends. We partake in the same student government, clubs, Greek life, volunteer organizations, and sports teams as you.
Most of us did not choose to be political activists. We do not bang on drums and chant catchy slogans. We are average students, just trying to make it through finals much like the rest of you. Those who demonize us under the cloak of anti-Zionism forced us into our activism and forced us to publicly defend our Jewish identities.
We proudly believe in the Jewish People’s right to self-determination in our historic homeland as a fundamental tenet of our Jewish identity. Contrary to what many have tried to sell you – no, Judaism cannot be separated from Israel. Zionism is, simply put, the manifestation of that belief.
Our religious texts are replete with references to Israel, Zion, and Jerusalem. The land of Israel is filled with archaeological remnants of a Jewish presence spanning centuries. Yet, despite generations of living in exile and diaspora across the globe, the Jewish People never ceased dreaming of returning to our homeland — Judea, the very place from which we derive our name, “Jews.” Indeed just a couple of days ago, we all closed our Passover seders with the proclamation, “Next Year in Jerusalem!”
Many of us are not religiously observant, yet Zionism remains a pillar of our Jewish identities. We have been kicked out of Russia, Libya, Ethiopia, Yemen, Afghanistan, Poland, Egypt, Algeria, Germany, Iran, and the list goes on. We connect to Israel not only as our ancestral homeland but as the only place in the modern world where Jews can safely take ownership of their own destiny. Our experiences at Columbia in the last six months are a poignant reminder of just that.
We were raised on stories from our grandparents of concentration camps, gas chambers, and ethnic cleansing. The essence of Hitler’s antisemitism was the very fact that we were “not European” enough, that as Jews we were threats to the “superior” Aryan race. This ideology ultimately left six million of our own in ashes.
The evil irony of today’s antisemitism is a twisted reversal of our Holocaust legacy; protestors on campus have dehumanized us, imposing upon us the characterization of the “white colonizer.” We have been told that we are “the oppressors of all brown people” and that “the Holocaust wasn’t special.” Students at Columbia have chanted “we don’t want no Zionists here,” alongside “death to the Zionist State” and to “go back to Poland,” where our relatives lie in mass graves.

Footage has revealed how thieves in California are stealing copper-filled cables from Tesla charging stations.
Viral video shared on TikTok by Joshua Beckler shows the aftermath of a recent theft at a Tesla Supercharger station in Vallejo, California.
The nine stations are seen without any of the cables attached to them as Beckler shows the core of the heavy duty cable, which is clearly rich in copper, whose value has soared in recent years.
The incident happened sometime over the weekend before it was reported to Vallejo police on Sunday morning.
Current scrap prices for copper have it averaging at $3 per pound, with Forbes reporting that the metal is 'a catalyst for a new era of global economic growth'.
Beckler who first spotted the theft told NBC: 'It most likely happened in the night, and we [him and his wife] found it early morning.
'I went to go to the gym with the wife. I went to park the Tesla to charge it while we were inside and I found that the majority of the Tesla cables had been cut right before we walked in.
'They left five charging stations. I’m pretty sure after they racked up, I don’t know what the quantity was, but almost 20 cables with the nozzles.
'Those are extremely heavy, so I’m imagining that’s all they could haul at one given time.'
While John Brown also told the outlet: 'I think this is the second time, or third that these have been cut, so they need to put some gates up or something. I don’t know what they can do, but this is pretty inconvenient.'

Yahoo Entertainment Jennifer Aniston Is Jealous of Julia Roberts’ Plastic Surgery Work, Says Source Michael Gioia Wed, April 3, 2024 at 7:10 AM MST 1 min read
Julia Roberts' subtle and strategic nips and tucks are giving Jennifer Aniston a serious case of sour grapes, an insider exclusively tells Life & Style.
Roberts, 56, "is quietly boasting she's found a way to turn back the clock without going over the top," the source says. "She looks fantastic. You can see that she's had a little work on her eyes, but nothing too extreme. It's done wonders for her self-esteem and her marriage because her husband, Danny Moder, can't keep his hands off her."
But Roberts' youthful glow is causing Aniston, 55, to turn green with envy, according to Life & Style sources.
"Jen's getting trolled for the work she's had done, while Julia is being feted as this forever young sex symbol. She is frantically trying to find out who Julia's doctor is, but she's getting shut out," says an insider.
"It looks like Julia's had Botox to her lower to the forehead and her upper eyes done," says top Chicago plastic surgeon Dr. Otto Placik. "I think she's likely had Botox and filler to the lip region and maybe in the cheeks as well."
He also points out some plastic-surgery fails on the former Friends star. "I think Jennifer got filler eyelids that is not sitting well, and it looks as though her lower eyelids have been tightened," says Placik, who has not treated either star.
"It looks like she's got undesirable filler in what we call the tear trough. And then she looks like she's definitely had some filler to her lower lip."

Hey there, I know this is usually NOT the place to come for insightful, meaningful insight (and tbh, that’s why we kinda love it sometimes, right), yet I find myself throwing out a thread… baring my soul and insecurity to the wolves. Ughhhh. Well, here goes….
I’m a mid 50’s guy, who’s been off work for about a year. Financially, I’m doing ok. And could continue like this for a while, but I’m seeing my savings dwindle down… and it’s been long enough. I just really feel almost frozen. It’s the only way I know how to describe it. I know I should look for a job, or retraining, or even look into career counselling…. but I’m honestly just stuck. I spend my days not really wanting to do anything. I sit at home, watch tv, run errands, and surf for a hookup. This is not how I pictured my life. I am attached (in an open relationship), and he’s supportive, but I don’t really know if he realizes how I feel. I could dismiss it as just being lazy, but it’s something else. I do suffer from ADHD, and have battled with depression in the past, and I’m wondering…. should I speak to someone professionally about this? Or…. am I just using this as an excuse to not return to work. Any insight into this, or maybe has anyone else felt like this?

[quote] “Christian nationalism” is not the liberal version of the slur “woke.” It’s more like the term “fascist.” Not only does it describe something very real, but something that remains a very present threat, one that is overrunning Oklahoma politics, and potentially the rest of the country.
[quote] ...We define it as an ideology that idealizes and advocates a fusion of American civic life with a particular kind of “Christianity.” I use “Christianity” in quotes there because the Christianity involved isn’t theological; it’s ethno-cultural. It’s “Christianity” as code, shorthand for “people like us,” and that usually means “Anglo European ethnicity, born in the USA, politically conservative.” Christian nationalism is an ideology that envisions that group as America’s founders and rightful leaders. It seeks to institutionalize their privilege politically.

After settling their debts they may realize $40K. We got lucky that a respected senior facility will take them with their knowledge of their poor financial condition and likelihood they will convert to Medicaid in future. There are 5 children between them- His daughter and I are the only ones to lift a finger. Honestly, I am not close to my mother and have zero emotional connection to her. I am only doing this as I feel I have a moral or ethical obligation.

A legally blind TikToker has shared that he and his guide dog were kicked out of a Seattle restaurant when a staff member didn’t believe he was blind.
“I walked in with my guide dog, Mr. Maple, and immediately somebody rushed up to me and said, ‘No pets allowed, only service dogs,'” said Paul, who chronicles his adventures with his partner on the popular TikTok account MatthewandPaul, which has more than 2.1 million followers.
In his TikTok, posted yesterday, Paul said he explained, “‘It's OK, he's a service dog.’ He looked at me, he looked at Maple, he said, ‘Emotional support dog?’ ‘No, like a guide dog for the blind.’”
“I literally had this harness attached to him,” Paul continued, referring to the words “Guide Dogs for the Blind” on Mr. Maple’s harness.
“I showed this to him, I said ‘I'm blind.’”
“He said, ‘You don't look blind,’ and I said, ‘A lot of people in the blind community still have some functional vision.’”
As Paul has previously explained in another TikTok, he has Retinitis pigmentosa, which the National Eye Institute says causes the “cells in the retina break down slowly over time, causing vision loss.”
He can see a small tunnel of vision, surrounded by “moving light, popping random colors, almost like fireworks.”
Paul shared that he tried to explain this at the restaurant.
“He said, ‘You're looking right at me.’ I said, ‘Yes, but it's like I have a pinhole of vision — that's all I can see.’
"He said, ‘Listen, this isn't my first rodeo’ — he literally said that — he said, ‘This isn't my first rodeo.’”
“What is going on out there that would lead this man to believe that I was lying?”
Paul continued, ‘’He said, ‘Do you see any other dogs in this restaurant?’ I said, ‘Honestly, no. I'm blind. There could be.’”
When Paul offered to come back with his dog’s paperwork, he says he was told, “If you step foot back in this restaurant with that dog I will call the police.”
“I'm speechless,” he concluded his video, which at press time had 5.1 million views.

New York Governor Kathy Hochul is facing backlash for saying that black children in the Bronx don't know the word "computer". "Right now, we have young black kids growing up in the Bronx who don't even know what the word 'computer' is," she said. "They don't know these things." The Democrat made the comments while speaking to a technology panel in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles.
Ms Hochul later said that she misspoke and regrets it. She was at the Milken Institute Global Conference on Monday to discuss New York's artificial intelligence initiative. During a fireside chat, Ms Hochul spoke of a new AI consortium involving universities and state schools.
She said funds raised by the state would help build a supercomputer that will be accessible to researchers.
The governor then said that black children in the Bronx don't know what the word "computer" is.

Harry Shearer voices many characters on The Simpsons and was recently replaced as the voice of Dr. Hibbert.
In 2020, producers decided to have no longer white actors voice characters of color, a decision which also made Hank Azaria retire from voicing Apu Nahasapeemapetilon.
Shearer recently reflected on the change and who inspired Dr. Hibbert’s voice.
“Folk say the show has become woke in recent years and one of my characters has been affected,” Shearer said on The Times of London. “I voiced the Black physician, Dr. Hibbert, who I based on Bill Cosby. Back then he was known as the ‘whitest Black man on television.’ Then, a couple of years ago, I received an email saying they’d employed a Black actor, who then copied my voice. The result is a Black man imitating a white man imitating the whitest Black man on TV.”
Kevin Michael Richardson took over the role of Dr. Hibbert in 2021. Shearer still voices Ned Flanders, Reverend Lovejoy, Principal Skinner, Mr. Burns, Waylon Smithers, Rainier Wolfcastle, and Kent Brockman, among many more.
Shearer also said he “wasn’t sure about joining The Simpsons in 1989,” as “voice actors are usually given a script after the animation is completed.”
“I took the job because it was the other way around,” he added. “I play more than 20 characters but the evil nuclear power plant owner, Mr. Burns, is a favorite. I styled his voice on Ronald Reagan.”

Jeffrey Austin Peck was born on April 9, 1971 in Honolulu, Hawaii, USA. At the age of four he was moved to San Francisco after his parents divorced, and then moved to Los Angeles at the age of eight. He attended Santa Monica High School where he excelled as a football linebacker and was very popular, but he knew what he wanted to do with his life already and dropped out of High School in 1989, shortly before he was to graduate to pursue modeling full time. He had already been modeling since he was 16 years old, having been discovered by a commercial agent while he was hanging out with friends. His friends and the agent kept telling him he should do modeling full time, because with a face like his and a body frame like his (he is 6’2 with a naturally lean toned body), modeling was the perfect field for him.
At 18, Peck found himself modeling in Paris, Milan, Morocco, the Virgin Islands, and Rome. He then appeared in fashion layouts for many publications, including Esquire, GQ, Vogue Hommes, and British Vogue. He did editorial modeling, commercial modeling and runway modeling for a few years, while also going to auditions for tv roles as he wanted to become an actor (something his agent also recommended he do, as he had a face for acting). He struggled to land acting roles but kept trying. Finally, Peck made his network television debut on Days of our Lives in April 1995 as Austin Reed, a romantic and daring boxer-turned-executive. He succeeded the role from Patrick Muldoon. He played the character until 2002.
During his time on Days, he became one of the most popular actors on the show and the character became a fan favorite, with Austin getting the most fan mail a cast member has received EVER on that show.
Austin returned in 2005 until October 2006, when he left again after being offered a role on “As The World Turns”. He moved to NYC to play the character Brad Snyder. His first episode aired in January 2007. After two years (2009), he was let go from the show and his character was killed off. In 2011 he joined the cast of “One Life To Live”. He left the show after less than a year.
Austin returned to Days from January 11, 2017, to February 12, 2017, just for one month. In 2021 he reprised his famous role once again for the Days spinoff “Beyond Salem”.
He has done guest spots on tv shows and done a few low budget films in his career as well.
He has one son from his first marriage and two daughters and a son from his second (and current) wife.
Sometime in the 2010s Austin became a born again Christian and is very involved with his church. On his own time, Peck stays active by boxing and inline skating. He is also an accomplished cartoonist, he enjoys sketching caricatures of family members, friends, and co-stars.
I met him personally in NYC in 2012, and his beauty truly stunned me. He is even more handsome in person, in a striking way. And very tall. He appears taller than 6’2 in person. I am fairly tall and he looked much taller than me. I debated with myself if he fits the “vintage” category yet, but at 53 years old, I think we can label him as such.

"Organizations like ISIS may seek to exploit increased gatherings associated with the upcoming June 2024 Pride Month," according to the announcement, which the agencies issued last week.

I am not talking about the stereotype of Bob and Doug Mackenzie of the Great White North from SCTV, eh. But more subtle things like pronunciation of “process”. Pah-sta (Am) vs Past-ah(Cn). About vs aboot.
I can spot it a mile away on tv presenters. They usually try to hide it but it inevitably slips.
Can you hear it, or am I hypersensitive?

She calls making the musical “exhilarating and exhausting.” Who’s excited to see JLo in Kiss of the Spider Woman?

Now I can't be attracted to him any more.
Such a pity, because he's so hot.

I force myself - yes, I'm somewhat of a masochist - to listen to the "All-Star Panel" on the Bret Baier-hosted Special Report. For my money, the worst of the worst pundits - & that's saying something - is the Trump lickspittle Molly Hemingway. If "Nancy" has the "laughing face," this beast surely has the "punchable face."

I don’t see a thread on this. Just watched it last night and I feel as if the actor (and writer) is too old looking to suspend disbelief. He looks the same age as the stalker and the abuser. But I thought it was an interesting perspective on loneliness causing people to be complicit in their own suffering. What thinks the DL? Richard Gadd looks too scrawny and bug eyed haunted for my taste.
