Peace prize for Trump, the pedo/rapist, ruining his own country?

How about Russia continuing to bomb Ukraine that Trump said he would end on day one.

How about Israel committing genocide on innocent Palestinians and having babies and children die in their mothers' arms?

Nobel Peace Prize/ Fuck NO!

[quote]The agrivoltaic plant will be constructed on 430 hectares of Vatican property at Santa Maria di Galeria, approximately 35 kilometers north of Rome, where Vatican Radio has operated shortwave transmitters since the 1950s. The project is designed to generate enough renewable electricity to power all of Vatican City's needs.

[quote]Vatican officials estimate the development will cost under 100 million euros. The innovative agrivoltaic design allows solar panels to coexist with crops and livestock, minimizing environmental impact while respecting the area's cultural and archaeological heritage.

"Out of the Blue" is a silly but fun bit of post-war '40s fluff with an interesting mix of stars: George Brent, Virginia Mayo, Turhan Bey, Ann Dvorak,& Carole Landis. A film farce set mostly in an apartment building in Greenwich Village, w/ everyone yapping about a murderer on the loose. Even worse is when married man George Brent picks up comically deranged designing woman Ann Dvorak! Focus on the stars in this slapstick comedy, my look here:

The Adelson family’s Las Vegas Sands Corp no longer owns any LV properties but they still own the Review Journal

I saw this today in my local supermarket. How come you fat whores haven’t created a thread about it? If you did, it didn’t come up in a search.

This story has never stopped haunting me since I first read about it in, of all things, my mom’s “Good Housekeeping”. It was maybe a year after the incident and the TV movie was still a year and a half away.

I think it’s more horrifying than the disappearance of Etan Patz because of only finding Adam’s head. Also, Adam was only a few years younger than I was.

In the years since, I’ve heard various “truths” that people spout like Reve Walsh left Adam alone longer than seven minutes, that she was meeting a lover, that the killing was planned as a revenge plot, etc.

Who remembers poor Adam?

It’s the Scream Unseen mystery movie. Rated R for graphic nudity, sexual content, and violence. Who’se going?

American Eagle’s new ad campaign faces backlash over slogan some say reflects eugenicist ideas of beauty

American Eagle’s new fall campaign starring Sydney Sweeney is under fire—not for the jeans, but for the tagline: “Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans.”

The phrase, used in bold on billboards in Times Square and Las Vegas, was designed as a denim pun. But online, many saw something else: “great genes,” a phrase historically used to celebrate whiteness, thinness and attractiveness. This makes this campaign seem to be a tone-deaf marketing move.

“Maybe I’m too … woke,” one viral post read, “but getting a blue-eyed, blonde, white woman and focusing your campaign around her having perfect genetics feels weird…” Others described the slogan as too close to “master race” propaganda and said it echoed eugenics-era language used to validate and promote the superiority of white beauty.

I guess it's an okay ballad but I was hoping for something more fun & poppy. The rats in her wig are disgusting. As are the scenes of her splashing around in the Washington Square Park fountain. Maybe there's some green screen or special FX involved but still gives me the ick. Honestly, she reminds me of the Garbage Pail Kids.

[quote]Apnimed reported that its experimental drug achieved a 46.8% reduction in sleep apnea severity after 26 weeks in a Phase 3 trial, compared to just 6.8% improvement with placebo. The once-daily pill combines aroxybutynin and atomoxetine to target the underlying neuromuscular causes of airway collapse during sleep. Separately, Incannex announced that its candidate reduced breathing interruptions by up to 83% in Phase 2 trials.

[quote]Both medications represent a departure from traditional sleep apnea treatments. Current options include CPAP machines, which deliver pressurized air through a mask, oral appliances, and surgical procedures. However, less than 50% of patients consistently use CPAP therapy due to discomfort.

I follow Alessandra Ambrosio, the Brazilian supermodel, on Instagram. She recently posted about a short film made by her teenaged daughter.

It obviously had a lot of money thrown at it. And it was promoted by her and one or two other celebrities. It’s delightfully awful — so terrible it’s a must see.

I love truly cringe vanity projects. Please share any you’ve seen. They’re like nectar.

There are books, films, and even songs about actress Frances Farmer—always focusing on the most lurid legends of her life. About the most mind-blowing myths: Did you know there’s never been proof that Farmer was given a lobotomy during her institutionalization? Or never proven that Frances was raped by male orderlies and marauding soldiers? Or that there is proof Lillian Farmer was not a monstrous stage mother who had her daughter locked away for rejecting a movie comeback? Yet, this and much more, is accepted as fact by many people who think they know Frances’ story. And I was one of them. My look at the life and career of Frances, with links to writer/researcher Jeffery Michael Kauffman , who befriended the Farmer family, who has shared his information without profiting from Farmer.

Fat Orange Fuck's tariff nonsense rattles the market again today - Friday, August 1, 2025. Curbed job growth, looming inflation and those fucking tariffs conspired to lower global markets. So those intrepid investors with holdings in foreign markets get screwed. I firmly believe that Trump is a moron and doesn't know shit about economics. However, I am now convinced that he is deliberately manipulating the market to enrich himself and his friends. Every credible source has explained in terms that a 5 year old can understand that tariffs will be a drag on trade and lead to increased cost for goods. Americans will pay more for everything with tariffs. He knows and does not care, his whole modus operandi is to tank the market so he can buy low. Since he can't get Powell to lower rates, he is using the one tool at his disposal. This tariff foolishness.

The House of Effie is sharing his text messages again.

I guess now it makes sense why he had Willam on his podcast.

Canada, France, Great Britain. Yes, let's go! Additional countries need to recognize Palestine as well.

I know it's only symbolic at this time, but it's a step in the right direction. And the world must repudiate the land-stealing and genocidal Israel.

Enough is enough. Israel is committing genocide and working to ethnically cleanse the Palestinians from their own land in Gaza and the West Bank. Don't let it happen. A two-state solution is the only fair and equitable solution.

Actor Debra Messing wrote an Islamophobic comment on her Instagram in reference to New York City Democratic mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, claiming that he “celebrated” 9/11.

“I have nothing against Socialism, don’t know where you got that,” Messing, who is known for her role in the sitcom “Will & Grace,” wrote in an Instagram comment replying to a user who called her out for sharing a reel denouncing socialism. “I voted against M because he celebrated 9/11. Let that sink in. I love my country. My reasoning is not Islamophobia. I’ve chosen to live in the most beautifully diverse city in the world. The same people who did 9/11 did Oct. 7. I just don’t want a mayor who sides with terrorists. Oh and he wants to defund the police. And he has no experience. I’ll stop here.”

If elected in November, Mamdani, a democratic socialist and state assemblyman who was born and raised in Uganda before moving to New York City at age 7, would become New York City’s first Muslim mayor. Since his primary win Tuesday, he has faced an influx of Islamophobic threats on social media — some from far-right figures, like Laura Loomer, who wrote on social media that because of his win, New York will face another 9/11.

Messing’s claim that Mamdani, who was 9 years old in September 2001, “celebrated” 9/11 and sides with terrorists seemingly comes from a rap song he wrote in 2017, in which he praised the now-defunct Islamic charity Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development. The five leaders of the group were convicted in 2009 of “providing material support to Hamas,” which the U.S. recognizes as a foreign terrorist organization. A number of human rights organizations in 2022 called for the pardon of the five leaders on the basis that money went to social programs run by Palestinian charities and did not directly fund Hamas.

Mamdani has been critical of Israel’s government, accusing it of committing a genocide in Gaza. His criticism of Israel has led some to call him antisemitic.

“I’ve said at every opportunity that there is no room for antisemitism in this city, in this country,” Mamdani, who also said it “pains” him to be “called an antisemite,” said last week. “I’ve said that because that is something I personally believe.”

Representatives for Messing and Mamdani did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

New York City Comptroller Brad Lander, who is Jewish and ran against Mamdani for Democratic candidate for New York City mayor, wrote on social media that threats against Mamdani are “morally reprehensible.”

Some of them are quite realistic

Donald Trump on Thursday signed an executive order making it easier for cities and states to remove homeless people from the streets.

His order commits federal funding to move people on the streets who are "causing public disorder and that are suffering from serious mental illness or addiction" to "treatment centers, assisted outpatient treatment, or other facilities."

"Shifting homeless individuals into long-term institutional settings for humane treatment through the appropriate use of civil commitment will restore public order," the text of the order said. "Surrendering our cities and citizens to disorder and fear is neither compassionate to the homeless nor other citizens."

I think Tate McRae has one of the most grating, most disgusting sounding voices out there right now. It’s so irritating to listen to! She sounds like a fucking Rugrat!! What Powers That Be told her that that kind of singing was talented, sexy, amazing, etc?

Another new singer that sounds HORRIBLE is Mariah the Scientist in her song “Burning Blue.” She sounds like she has a cold, like her nose is plugged up, and she doesn’t enunciate. She sounds terrible! Absolutely terrible and annoying!

People used to say Britney was a horrible singer. But these girls make Britney sound like Whitney!

Please! Make singing pretty again! Make singing clear again! Make singing rich again! Make singing powerful again!

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting announced on Friday that it will wind down its operations due to the successful Republican effort to defund local PBS and NPR stations across the country.

The announcement came just over a week after President Donald Trump enacted a rescissions bill clawing back congressionally approved federal funds for public media and foreign aid. Of the $9 billion in canceled funds, $1.1 billion was earmarked for the corporation for the next two years.

Welcome to Plathville star Barry Plath has seemingly been working on his revenge body as he has been hitting the gym hard following his split from ex Kim Plath.

The reality TV star, 55, looked unrecognizable when he was seen in a recent selfie with son Micah Plath looking ripped as the father-son duo showed off their bulked-up arms and chest on Saturday, August 26.

Since Barry and Kim announced their split in June 2022, he has found a new love: fitness. “Working out, that’s my new hobby,” the father of 10 said during the trailer for the upcoming season of the family’s reality series. “Blood flows in and everything gets bigger,” he laughed.

The former couple – who share children Ethan, Hosanna, Micah, Moriah, Lydia, Isaac, Amber, Cassia, Mercy and Joshua – shocked fans when they separated after 24 years of marriage. “After considerable thought and discussion, we have decided to end our marriage,” Kim and Barry told People in a joint statement at the time. “While this was not an easy decision, we know it’s the best choice for both of us. We have been through many highs and lows in our 24 years of marriage and as we navigate this new chapter in our lives, we will co-parent our amazing children.”

Prior to their announcement, the pair’s marital struggles played out during season 4 of the TLC series. They revealed they had been living separately for “a while” after Kim told her husband she wasn’t “happy.”

“One thing I thought wouldn’t ever be shaken was us. Now it’s totally shaken up. It’s just really sad. It’s a tragedy,” he told Kim. Kim later explained that she previously felt ignored by her husband when she tried to discuss their marital issues.

“Now it’s gotten to the point where I’m ready to leave the marriage, now he cares,” she added. “But I feel like if I was really worth it, he would have listened earlier.”

While Kim has seemingly moved on from their marriage, hinting at a new relationship in the trailer for the upcoming season, Barry has taken on the role of single parent as he cares for the former couple’s younger children.

“This man right here sets a real high standard for men in my life! I never really realized how important the role that a father plays in his daughter’s life is till I started restoring my relationship with my dad,” daughter Moriah Plath gushed about her father via Instagram in May. “My dad has grown so so much as a person and father and it’s changed my life. I guess the best way to put it is I’m secure! I feel priceless, and I am the most confident in who I am than I have ever been in my life.”

I've been laid up with the flu for the past week and have gone down the YouTube rabbit hole watching police bodycam videos, everything from DUI arrests to drunks getting kicked out of bars to ex-girlfriends stalking their ex-boyfriends. Most of the videos are hilarious (and most take place in Floriduh, of course), and I love how all the people who get arrested inevitably shriek, "I didn't do anything!" as the handcuffs are placed on them. It's also fun watching deadbeats without a dime scream, "I'm calling my attorney," as if these WalMart rejects have a lawyer on retainer.

Anybody else get oddly entertained by these?

There was a thread about wills and trusts and stuff a while ago.

A man and a woman who had recently moved to northwest Arkansas were apparently killed as they hiked in a state park with their school-age daughters, authorities said Sunday.

Arkansas State Police identified the victims as Clinton David Brink, 43, and Cristen Amanda Brink, 41. The agency said in a statement that the couple had recently moved to Prairie Grove from out of state.

State police said the agency was notified of the double homicide in Devil’s Den State Park shortly before 3 p.m. Saturday. The park is about 12 miles east of Prairie Grove and about 25 miles south of Fayetteville.

How’s it going to bury her and dig her up in the courtyard where everybody can watch?

Starting the new thread.

A continuation thread for our nattering about Britain's favourite soap.

We need a general thread for figure skating news and discussion so I thought I'd start one.

Gracie Gold has a new memoir coming out called, wait for it, “Outofshapeworthlessloser” and in it she writes that she was raped at 21 by a fellow skater in a hotel suite where she and her sister held an event after-party. Five years after her alleged assault was reported to the U.S. Center for Safesport, she has no idea about the status of her complaint. She hasn't heard from the center in three years. (Via @WSJSports)

We're done with the previous thread. Onward.

Was there ever a more awesome character/role/performance in movie history?

Who agrees that her part should have been bigger?

... according to Sherwood Schwartz.

[quote] Schwartz said that Davis never married. And while he knew her, she never had a relationship either, which, for the decade, was odd. So her choice to remain single caused rumors to spread. The producer revealed that he spoke with Davis about her personal life on one occasion, and the actress illuded that a bad relationship made her swear off men for good. And in turn, she never had the chance to start a family of her own.

[quote]“She was never married and everybody suspected that she was gay. [Ann] and I actually talked about it and she said, ‘No, I have lots of issues, but that’s not one of them,’” Lloyd continued. “She told me she once had a relationship, I think with a married guy or something, and it ended badly. I don’t know that she ever had anything else after that. But that’s almost apocryphal.”

Mmm. Ann B. was deeply religious. I suspect she was stuck in the closet somewhere back in Narnia. Poor Alice!

A private lab quietly altered voting machines used across the U.S. Then it vanished.

"In 2024, voters in Rockland County, NY, filed sworn legal affidavits claiming they had voted for independent Senate candidate Diane Sare. But the machines told a different story. In one district, nine people said they voted for her. The machines recorded five. In another, five claimed to vote for her but only three were officially counted by the machines. At the same time, In districts where voters clearly favored Democrats (evident by strong support for democratic Senate candidate Kirsten Gillibrand) Kamala Harris’s name either underperformed or seemed to disappear from the top of the ballot completely. They’d found that in some of the counties people where voted overwhelmingly for the Democratic candidate Kirsten, Kamala Harris somehow got no votes at all. At the same time, Donald Trump raked in more than 750,000 votes above what Republican Senate candidates received on the exact same ballots. That would mean 750k people voted for him & skipped the rest of the Republicans on the same ballot. That kind of pattern doesn’t scream voter preference. It whispers something went wrong in the vote count itself. That’s not split-ticket voting. That’s a mathematical anomaly."

"At the center of it all: missing votes, statistical anomalies, and a federally accredited testing lab called Pro V&V, whose seal of approval may be worth less than the paper it’s rubber-stamped on."

"Software changes are not supposed to be considered minor. But Pro V&V approved them anyway without full testing, without public oversight, without explanation. Watchdogs like SMART Elections flagged it immediately. They knew what this meant. If the system could be changed in the shadows, then every vote cast on those machines was at risk of miscount or manipulation."

"Their website, once home to testing logs, certification documents, and contact information, collapsed into a hollow shell shortly after the 2024 elections. Federal law all but guarantees labs like Pro V&V stay in power. Under the Help America Vote Act (2002), they're accredited by the Election Assistance Committee (EAC) in conjunction with National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). But once a lab is in, it stays in."

Please find me something new that involves dollfaces in non-dangerous situations.

The Brutalist soundtrack resonates.

I love the scene when Lazlo is reaching America, and the horns start blaring triumphantly, as he and the viewer see the Statue of Liberty.

The music accurately describes how so many must have felt when first seeing the statue!

How about you, DL? What soundtrack(s) is/are your favorite(s)?

Reddit had a thread on this and I was surprised that people came up with so many. Like when Dorothy responded to Rose saying that she was going to replace her co-worker’s dog: “Rose, you don’t even like bringing me my slippers.” It fell flat with the studio audience.

After months of speculation about her political future, former Vice President and San Francisco Bay Area native Kamala Harris has ruled out one option: governor of California.

Harris said Wednesday that she will not enter the 2026 race to replace Gov. Gavin Newsom, who is serving his second term and cannot run again. Harris did not say what she plans to do next, but her choice is the clearest sign yet that she may still be considering a third run for president.

"I love this state, its people, and its promise. It is my home. But after deep reflection, I’ve decided that I will not run for governor in this election," Harris said in a statement.

I’ve started at least two threads about this. This is my 12th gay cruise and I think this will be the 12th gay cruise. I’ve never had sex on because today is the last day of the cruise. So my record of no sex on these gay cruises will be unbroken. The first day of the cruise at the bon voyage party a hot guy was cruising me. I have not seen him since that first day and no one else has expressed any kind of interest in me on this ship. Oh well.

This think piece instantly made me think of Datalounge, and in more ways than one.

Created by Norman Lear, The Jeffersons wasn’t just a ratings juggernaut. It was a cultural phenomenon. The show aired at a time when most depictions of Black life on television were steeped in struggle, i.e. Good Times and Sanford and Son. Yet here were the Jeffersons, who were rich, opinionated, flawed, funny, and, for once, unapologetically at the center of their own story.

And yet, as The Jeffersons turns 50, some of its key players and their stories remain on the margins. One of them is Damon Evans, who portrayed Lionel Jefferson, the Jeffersons’ son, for three seasons. Evans replaced original actor Mike Evans (no relation), who left the show after one season and would later return.

Today, Damon Evans is ready to talk, not just about his own complicated journey as an out gay Black actor on one of America’s biggest shows, but also about the man who held it all together: Sherman Hemsley.

“There wouldn’t have been a Jeffersons without Sherman,” Evans said during a recent interview. “And yet, even after 11 seasons, he was only nominated once for an Emmy.”

Evans, who went on to a successful career in classical music and theater, said he was also at the Stonewall Riots of 1969. “There were more Black and brown people there than people realize,” he said. “The Village didn’t always welcome us. But something shifted. A friend turned to me and said, ‘Damon, this was our Rosa Parks moment.”

The actor said he’s speaking now to illuminate what others wouldn’t or couldn’t during the show’s original run about Hemsley. Evans said the actor didn’t get the accolades or recognition that he so deserved.

“I think the last time I saw Sherman was when I went to the National Black Theater Festival to collect an award in his honor. I gave it to him,” he recalled. “That was in the early 2000s. And I did see Isabel [Sanford], Roxie [Roker], Franklin Cover, some of the original cast for a People magazine story once. But Sherman? He was always a little separate.”

And by “separate,” Evans said he meant that Hemsley was not one to seek the spotlight. “He was a very humble guy, unlike George in the show.”

Evans also described Hemsley as a consummate professional. “He was a man of fearlessness who could plow through any script and always end up with a flawless performance.”

Still, the work didn’t always come easy. “Remember, we had an all-white, heterosexual writing staff,” Evans said. “Sherman wasn’t bothered by anything that may’ve appeared derogatory, whereas I was. I remember one episode with a cheap gay joke. I felt so uncomfortable. But Sherman, he just rolled with the punches.”

Rumors around Hemsley’s sexuality have swirled for decades, even after his death at 74 in 2021. Evans claims that Hemsley was gay. Hemsley never came out publicly during his lifetime. A 2007 VH1 story that listed three favorite allegedly gay black actors from the past put Hemsley in the top spot.

Cécile Dionne, one of the world-famous Dionne Quintuplets, died this week at age 91 following a long illness.

Born in Corbeil, Ont., Cécile and her sisters were a global sensation from the moment of their birth on May 28, 1934.

“A symbol of an era marked by wonder, controversy, and exploitation, she lived her life with quiet dignity, exemplary discretion and gentle humour, despite the hardships of a childhood lived in the public eye,” her obituary said.

“She is survived by her sister Annette Dionne, and now joins her other sisters in peace and well-earned rest.”

Cécile, Emilie, Marie, Annette and Yvonne Dionne became world famous not long after their birth, and they grew up unhappily in the public eye.

A New York Times story on Cécile’s death says that in 1997, the sisters wrote to the family of septuplets born in Iowa that their birth should not be “considered entertainment.”

“Our lives have been ruined by the exploitation we suffered,” the Dionnes said in the letter.

“If this letter changes the course of events for these newborns, then perhaps our lives will have served a higher purpose.”

A statement from the Dionne Quints Heritage Board said the birth of the sisters “was a miracle of its time during the difficult Depression.”

“The five girls – Yvonne, Annette, Cécile, Émilie, and Marie – became a ‘good news’ story in this challenging time, drawing worldwide attention to the area, and attracting three million people to ‘Quintland’ to see and hear the girls at play,“ the statement said.

“Hollywood told their story in three movies, while endorsements for commercial products became commonplace.”

Their upbringing as a “tourist attraction” rivalling Niagara Falls and Shirley Temple has left a mixed legacy, the board said.

“Their difficult upbringing resonates with us today and is reason not to forget the rights of children and families -- the Dionne sisters did bring some assistance to the lives of others,” the statement said.

What happened to the snark? Where did the funny bitches go?

My Fat Daughter’s chair, however, is most definitely broken.

This silly sow-whatever half baked thought flashes through My Fat Daughter’s swollen head gets spilled onto X by her Dorito dust encrusted fingers.

I ask myself constantly-why is My Fat Daughter like this?

Is it because I had a raging painkiller addiction when she was little?

Is it because John repeatedly called me a See You Next Tuesday in front of My Fat Daughter?

Is it because My Fat Daughter was never told “No Meghan, you can’t have a third T-Bone steak?”

Is it because she was never told to stop screaming and allow others to speak?

It’s probably a combination of all of the above.

Sigh.

We're off on a wonderful vacation! I mean, after Bert told me I should hang it up, I decided to follow Alan and Hope on their trip!

We're all having a blast. Alan keeps wandering down to the nude beach. He must be bored down there, since it's only a bunch of guys. Anyway.....

Time to catch up again with the tea in Springfield, the vinegar in Oakdale, the babble in Bay City, and all the other good stuff. Fill me in!

It's giving Mame era Lucy.....

Tell us about it. How old were you? What year was it? Where was it? Was it any good?

Remind me again - why did she leave DL?

We've had, on Broadway, the following play this part (in the original casts): Ethel Merman, Angela Lansbury, Tyne Daly, Bernadette Peters, Patti LuPone, and Audra McDonald. So who will be the next to play this iconic role?

also, who would have done a great job with it had they been chosen in the past?

I would have loved to have seen Liza Minnelli as Mama Rose, maybe in the 1990s.

To cater to bans on "DEI" and "incorrect ideology"

They squirt people with water guns while they are sitting outside at restaurants eating breakfast or lunch.

About 2-1/2 hours ago I went out to the front yard to call my three indoor/outdoor cats in for dinner. I called names, and thought I saw my black cat running from across the street, but when I opened the gate in rushed a black puppy instead, his ENTIRE body one big wag. My neighbor's fiance was doing yard work across the street at her house. He saw me and was spitting nails, saying "These two guys just pulled up in front of me, opened the door and THREW that puppy out, looking dead in my face and smirking the whole time!"

I scooped Puppy up, and he immediately snuggled into my neck. Took him inside to a spare room, sat on a sofa with him on my lap. Suuuucch a good little one. Three of the cats are curious-to-indifferent; one just stalks off when Puppy approaches; the last is LIVID.

My question: is it okay to put Pup on the front porch for the night? I don't want nighttime animal drama, plus I don't know Pup's health status. I have several cat beds s/he'd fit, and while I don't have dog food, I have plenty of high-quality cat kibble Pup already seems to love. Of course I have water bowls. Pup would be 1000% safe as long as s/he stays inside the yard, inside the fence line.

Pup is sweet as pie and good as gold. Except he keeps trying to gnaw on my phone charger cable, which is easy to put out of his reach. But I'll give him some cat toys to keep him entertained.

Tomorrow I'll deal with which no-kill shelter to take him to. He really is a big-little ball of total sweetness. Plus his little snuffling noises sound like Snoopy.

But this summer there's no Summer......(thankfully).

It could be an unhappy ending for a seedy all-male massage parlor that officials say openly offers hands-on sexual satisfaction.

The city is suing to close down 28 Men’s Spa on the West Side, claiming in court documents filed Wednesday that the spa’s roster of masseurs offered “manual stimulation of the penis” to three undercover cops during separate incidents last summer.

The spa, which goes by M&J Men’s Spa and advertises on social media with pictures of shirtless muscular men, is referenced on websites for gay men seeking “happy endings.”

But a worker told The Post that the city’s claims were “disgusting.”

And spa manager Ping Du said in a brief phone interview that the spa didn’t sell rub-and-tugs for cash but was a “regular massage” parlor.

Du said he he took over the spa at 45 West 28th St. this past April and confirmed all of their massage therapists and customers are men but he denied any illicit behavior.

“We don’t do that here,” Du said.

While Du may have taken over in April, the city’s lawsuit claims that three undercover NYPD officers in June and July were offered happy endings inside the spa.

By using the city’s nuisance abatement statute — which helped clear out the notorious porno theaters of Times Square years ago — the suit also takes aim at the building owner, whom they claim should have had some idea that one of their tenants practiced the world’s oldest profession.

That means the spa and the landlord could be fined $1,000 per day for every day of illegal activity, according to court papers, while the spa also faces closure for a year.

Two workers agreed to offer sex acts — “manual stimulation of his penis,” the complaint reads — for around $80, while a third offered the service for $180, according to the suit filed in Manhattan Supreme Court.

I always hated going to church, though I did pray and believe in God, until I was 18. It was late summer of 1997.

Ironically, it was in church one Sunday, (Catholic) on my own, that it clicked - It was the moment I began to gradually stop believing. It was also at that Sunday Mass I decided to call my best friend at the time after church, and come out to her (duh, she knew, but I digress). It was my Freshman year of college, and my parents no longer dictated churchgoing. It was the last time I entered a church voluntarily, outside of weddings, funerals etc.

No more painfully torturous Stations of the Cross. No more 3 hour Easter Vigils. No more of that pro-life crap shoved down my throat. Raised in 12 years of Catholic school in the age of AIDS and acceptable homophobia just wore me down. It was my Age of Enlightenment.

Freedom of thought and clarity was way more important to me than leaving my fate in God’s hands.

I don’t believe in God at all anymore, but I do my best to respect religion (though privately I detest ALL religion, even the peaceful ones),

I do still say a prayer to St. Anthony when I lose my keys or wallet, just to be safe.

It is a dark time for the very heterosexual city of Los Angeles, in which Hobo Ridge and his wrinkled face somehow still captivates both The Slut from the Valley and yet another recast of his other ho, NuTaylor of Cameltoe. Meanwhile, in LA's sole restaurant, Ill Giordino, vile, despicable mistress of evil, Sheila Carter, makes pizza while bonding with her granddaughter, two-time murderer Luna of the Enormous Panties. Wafting throughout the city is the rank odor of Daphne, a perfume expert who can be smelled twenty miles away, making it impossible for her to eavesdrop on nearby conversations. All are looking for one thing that may heal their galaxy: the cure to Zende's explosion from twink to obese, hoping to stop his expanding girth before he outgrows blouses and transitions into caftans--and possibly blocks out the LA sun. Continue the adventure here, where Liam may be dying, Dollar Bill needs pants that don't give him a muffin top, where Hope is hopeless, and JKW wins another Daytime Emmy just for showing up to work in a bad mood. . .

I've been having this debate with a coworker today about Peter Phillips’ status as a royal. My coworker claims that as the grandson of the monarch and the son of a princess, he's royal. She said that by blood, he's as royal as William, Harry, and the York sisters. (Edward’s kids are, once again, the forgotten stepchildren.)

My argument is that he is a member of the royal family, but not royal. He's just like all the other Brits who can claim to be descendants of a monarch, without a royal title of their own to make that connection relevant.

Decision Made Way Before Wrestler's Death

Matt Damon and Ben Affleck won't be bringing part of Hulk Hogan's life to the big screen after all ... though the decision has nothing to do with his recent tragic passing.

We're told the decision was made a while ago -- long before Hulk's passing -- so, the two aren't related to it whatsoever.

It's unclear why they decided to pull the plug on the film.

Ben and Matt previously planned on making a biopic about the infamous video of Hulk Hogan having sex with his friend's wife -- which Gawker later released -- a video that included a racial epithet.

Hulk wasn't involved in the movie project -- and, he wasn't interested in getting involved either, unlike his former pal Bubba the Love Sponge, whose wife also starred in the NSFW tape -- but, sources close to him told us he'd pursue legal action if they crossed a line.

[QUOTE]ANCHORAGE, Alaska (KTUU) - A crash that killed former Rep. Mary Peltola’s husband, Eugene, in rural Alaska during a 2023 hunting trip was caused by the plane being overloaded with moose meat and antlers that hung on one side of the small aircraft, according to the final report by the National Transportation Safety Board.

[QUOTE]The final report by the NTSB concluded that the plane was roughly 117 pounds overweight — or about 6% over its maximum takeoff limit — when Peltola departed from the site where the hunters met up with him.

[QUOTE]The agency’s preliminary report released weeks after the crash said the plane was carrying over 500 pounds of moose meat when Peltola took off.

[QUOTE]The final report also stated that a pair of moose antlers were attached to the right wing strut of the plane, which likely would have led to difficulties in taking off when taking into account the excess weight and aerodynamic drag of the antlers.

Donald Trump said in a social media post Friday afternoon that he directed members of his administration to fire Erika McEntarfer, commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, after the BLS on Friday published a July jobs report that contained what it called "larger than normal" revisions to data from May and June.

The July jobs report published Friday morning showed the US economy added 73,000 jobs last month, fewer than expected, while the unemployment rate rose to 4.2%.

The most notable numbers to emerge from the report, however, were downward revisions to job gains in May and June, which saw 258,000 jobs taken away from what had been initially reported.

I just got into this show on Tubi. Ricky and David were hot and so was Oz. Sis anyone here grow up with it?

A murder-obsessed teenager who spoke of carrying out a mass shooting at an Edinburgh school has been jailed for six years.

A court heard Felix Winter, who is now 18, "idolised" the killers behind the 1999 Columbine High School massacre in the US. The pupil repeatedly spoke about mounting a similar "Doomsday" attack to the one which claimed the lives of 12 students and a teacher in Colorado.

Winter, who also held racist and pro-Nazi views, admitted two charges at a hearing in February. The High Court in Glasgow heard the offences - a breach of the peace and a charge under the Terrorism Act - were committed when he was aged 15 and 16 between June 2022 and July 2023.

Shelagh McCall KC, defending, called for a strict alternative to custody as her client was a "vulnerable young person" with mental health issues.

But the court was told Winter had been "radicalised", having spent more than 1,000 hours in contact with a pro-Nazi online Discord group. The judge said it appeared Winter had been in contact with the extremist online group for two hours a day for two years.

Lord Arthurson told the court the teenager had also discussed with fellow pupils his "visceral, violent and graphically detailed plan" to carry out a massacre. In a January 2023 journal entry he described his school as a "virus upon this earth" and added he would soon prove that "I am a God".

Lord Arthurson added: "The whole material available to me indicate that you were progressing towards the brink of perpetrating a mass school shooting, you were radicalised and your statement of intent could not have been clearer."

Winter had been referred to the UK-wide Prevent counter terrorism programme four times. It places public bodies, including schools and the police, under a legal duty to identify people who may turn to extremism, and intervene in their lives before it is too late. Police Scotland launched an investigation in the summer of 2023 after a social media photo of Winter at school wearing combat gear and carrying an imitation gun caused panic among pupils and parents. It emerged the clothes and prop gun were issued to him for a video being made in a drama class in which he had been cast as a kidnapper.

But detectives established Winter, of Kirknewton, West Lothian, frequently spoke to other pupils about carrying out a school attack. He also "exhibited a variety of alarming behaviours" over a 13-month period.

Classmates recalled how the teenager spoke "excitedly and with considerable enthusiasm" when he talked about Columbine and other school shootings. Witnesses told police he "sympathised" with the Columbine killers, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold. Harris, 18, and Klebold, 17, both took their own lives in the library of the school after the attack.

Winter was also said to be so fascinated by the mass shooting that he wanted to change his name in an "act of homage" to Klebold. A female pupil told officers he planned to start on the second floor and "clear it out" before continuing the shooting spree downstairs.

Winter was stopped by police under the Terrorism Act as he returned from holiday with his family on 9 July 2023. Officers discovered that the schoolboy had a TikTok account which had footage of him wearing black combat clothes as well as a skeleton mask.

When his electronic devices were seized, they were found to contain files on "homemade" firearms and poisons. The court heard he had 65 videos of Columbine and had added music which appeared to "glamorise" the mass killing.

Other pupils told how he had spoken of wanting to carry out attacks on students and teachers using guns, explosives or poison. He also claimed he would buy a 3D printer to help construct a firearm. At a previous hearing, Winter's lawyer said that the teenager was vulnerable and a transgender person and that would need to be taken into account.

According to him he could’ve brought the "biggest sexual harassment lawsuit in Hollywood history" if he wanted to back in the 90s, that’s how bad it was for him on set.

I hate the originals and have never found that type of humor funny, and while this film uses some of that humor still, it doesn’t feel as “corny”. I surprisingly enjoyed this movie, laughed a few times and even when I didn’t laugh I was still entertained. I didn’t feel like I was losing brain cells like I do with some comedies.

Liam Neeson is hysterical in this and I am so glad he did this. Pamela Anderson looks so beautiful in this movie, very elegant and old Hollywood at times, and is phenomenal opposite Liam. I loved her.

The theater had a lot of laughs and people were saying it was really enjoyable and good as they were walking out. Everyone seemed to enjoy it.

I definitely recommend it!

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting said Friday it would begin winding down its operations after its funding was eliminated by the Trump administration and Congress.

An infant was found abandoned earlier this week on a “random” yard shortly before four of the child’s relatives were discovered dead in a nearby county, authorities in Tennessee said.

The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation identified a suspect Thursday wanted on four counts of first-degree murder and firearm charges in connection with the deaths.

Austin Robert Drummond, 29, should be considered armed and dangerous and is believed to be driving a 2016 Audi A3, the bureau said in a news release.

The release did not identify a possible motive.

Matthew Wilson, 21, the abandoned child’s father; Adrianna Williams, 20, the mother; Courtney Rose, 38, the maternal grandmother; and Braydon Williams, 15, the maternal uncle were identified as the victims by Danny Goodman, district attorney for Dyer and Lake counties.

They were discovered in a wooded area in Tiptonville, roughly 40 miles north of Tigrett, according to NBC affiliate WMC of Memphis.

“This is a deeply saddening day for our community,” Dyer County Sheriff Jeff Box said in a statement. “We are committed to uncovering the truth and ensuring justice is served.”

Nearly a dozen law enforcement agencies are assisting in the investigation, including the FBI and the U.S. Marshals Two Rivers Violent Fugitive Task Force, the state bureau said.

The FBI did not respond to a request for comment. An official with the fugitive task force declined to comment.

The infant was discovered Tuesday afternoon after a witness dialed 911 and reported seeing the baby in a car seat on "a random individual’s front yard" in the Tigrett area, the Dyer County Sheriff's Office said. Tigrett is nearly 80 miles north of Memphis.

The post, which said the child was being evaluated by medical personnel, included a photo of the infant “in the arms of a loving paramedic.”

The sheriff's office said in an update that it was seeking to talk with three people later identified as the child's deceased relatives — Rose, Wilson and Williams.

That evening, the sheriff's office said, four people had been found dead in neighboring Lake County in connection with the case.

His death was attributed to "acute effects of ketamine" with accidental drowning as the manner of death.

A recent documentary has shed light on the final days of Matthew Perry, revealing that the actor received 27 ketamine injections in the three days leading up to his tragic death at 54 in October 2023. The documentary, 'Matthew Perry: A Hollywood Tragedy,' features insights from US Attorney Martin Estrada. Mr Perry, who played Chandler Bing on the hit TV sitcom 'Friends' from 1994-2004, died after having been found unconscious in a swimming pool at his house in Los Angeles in October 2023. According to the autopsy report, his death was attributed to "acute effects of ketamine" with accidental drowning as the manner of death.

According to the documentary, Martin Estrada, who previously supervised the investigation into Mr Perry's death, revealed that the actor had been administered 27 doses of ketamine by "people who should have known much better," the New York Post reported.

Five people have been charged in connection with his death, including two doctors, his assistant, and an alleged drug dealer known as "the Ketamine Queen." An unsealed indictment from August alleges that Perry's assistant, Kenneth Iwamasa, and acquaintance Erik Flemingcollaborated with doctors Salvador Plasencia and Mark Chavez to obtain large quantities of ketamine for Perry before his overdose death.

Jasveen Sangha, the "Ketamine Queen," is specifically charged with supplying the ketamine that ultimately led to his death. According to the indictment Iwamasa administered the final three doses of ketamine purchased from Sangha to Mr Perry on the day of his death, using needles provided by Dr Plasencia.

"Dr Plasencia was very clear in text messages… that he saw this as an opportunity to make a lot of money in a short amount of time, and he allegedly did just that," Mr Estrada said in the new documentary.

Dr. Plasencia and Jasveen Sangha have entered not-guilty pleas and are scheduled to stand trial on March 4 in Los Angeles. Meanwhile, Kenneth Iwamasa, Erik Fleming, and Dr. Mark Chavez have pleaded guilty and are awaiting sentencing.

"In the past, we used to call these things overdose deaths and do more blaming of the victim. We don't do that anymore. We blame the drug dealers, the drug sellers, for taking advantage of those addiction issues to cause death or serious injury, and that's why we bring these cases. The big takeaway from this case is that when people involved in reckless activity, whether that be drug dealing or other activity, cause the death of others, there needs to be accountability," the attorney added.

What is Ketamine?

Ketamine is a potent anaesthetic sanctioned by US health authorities for surgical use, administered either through intramuscular injection or intravenous (IV) delivery. Chemically related to the recreational substance PCP, ketamine has also been used recreationally for its euphoric properties. However, it can induce hallucinations and may adversely affect respiratory and cardiac functions.

Notably, the FDA approved the drug in 2019 as a medication for treatment-resistant depression. While some experts and patients call it lifesaving, others say it's addictive and causes bladder ailments. Long-term, heavy use, of ketamine can cause severe, irreversible damage to the bladder and kidneys and excruciating abdominal pain. The drug should only be obtained and administered by a licensed and experienced medical doctor.

Trump has fired Dr. Erika McEntarfer, the commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, whom he accused, without evidence, of manipulating the monthly jobs reports for “political purposes.”

The BLS’ monthly labor report Friday showed that the US economy added only 73,000 jobs in July, far below expectations. It also sharply revised down the employment growth that had been previously reported in May and June – by a combined 258,000 jobs.

After the revisions, the jobs report showed the weakest pace of hiring for any three-month period since the pandemic recession in 2020.

The Smithsonian's National Museum of American History removed references to President Donald Trump's two impeachment proceedings from an exhibit on the "Limits of Presidential Power," a Smithsonian spokesperson confirmed to ABC News. The spokesperson said a future exhibit will include all presidential impeachments.

The exhibit now only includes references to the impeachment proceedings against Presidents Andrew Johnson in 1868, Richard Nixon in 1973 and Bill Clinton in 1998. Nixon is the only U.S. president to resign following the commencement of impeachment proceedings.

Trump is the only U.S. president to have been impeached twice.

This program, you'll recall, places armed and trained security specialists on random commercial flights into or out of the United States, serving as a hidden line of defense in the event of a hijacking. They usually fly close to the cockpit, incognito, and keep an eye out for trouble.

But Trump and Krispy Noem have reassigned quite a few of them away from that mission, so they can now serve as "low-rent stewardesses on Con Air." They're staffing deportation flights - handing out bread and water, checking handcuffs, checking for lice, and scrubbing out lavatories between flights. This isn't what they signed up to do, or were trained to do. And now our commercial aviation sector is less safe in their absence.

It will be starring Andrew Garfield, Yura Borisov and Cooper Koch.

[bold] Baby boomers aren’t going to tolerate being put out to pasture.

[/bold]That’s the thinking behind an expected surge in development of luxury senior-living communities in dense urban settings.

Many developers are betting that over the coming decades, more seniors will shun traditional suburban retirement communities and demand to live where there are lots of dining, entertainment and shopping choices nearby. As a result, a plethora of projects, many with rooftop pools, celebrity chefs and spa-style wellness centers, are planned for major U.S. cities.

“Everybody’s trying to crack the code for what the baby boomers want,” says Beth Burnham Mace, chief economist at the National Investment Center for Seniors Housing & Care. Fewer than 20 ultra high-end senior living communities exist in downtown urban areas across the country now, she estimates, and predicts that number could triple, or more, in the next several years if projects in the pipeline pan out.

Because it’s much more expensive to develop senior-living housing in cities than in suburbs, many of these new projects—from independent-living and assisted-living properties to skilled nursing care and memory-care units—are expected to aim at the high end. Some developers are looking at converting unused office buildings and hotels, options increased by pandemic vacancies. They are also betting more seniors will be able to afford luxury housing: Research shows baby boomers, born 1946 through 1964, will drive a rapid expansion in the share of high-income seniors in coming years.

“There’s an enduring lifestyle commitment among our customer base to remaining in the cities,” says Bryan Cho, Executive Vice President of Related Cos., which recently opened a luxury senior community with Atria Senior Living under the Coterie brand in San Francisco. “Every generation has different tastes. There’s a desire for people to get back together in a post-pandemic world. They want to be connected to culture and family.” .....

Why is only Parade reporting this???

Van Doren has also remained outspoken about causes dear to her, serving as an early high-profile grand marshal for the LA Pride Parade in 1987 — at the height of the AIDS Crisis.

“Elizabeth Taylor came along trying to say that she was the first one that ever did anything for the community. And it was a very bad shock… I wasn’t invited to anything after that,” Van Doren explained. “So, the gay community got together and… put me in the parade and made me the queen.”

Van Doren said that, after Taylor took on the task of being a leader in the campaign to fight AIDS, she and other advocates were “iced out.” “A lot people — we were all the first ones — we’re all getting ready to go to this charity thing that [Taylor] had, and they called us and told us that we weren’t wanted. That was the end of it. I want to make it very clear in history, she was not the first one. She only did it after Rock Hudson died

Well, smell her. This publicist blasts Britney and Judy Collins in her SUV, has two Pomeranian mixes named Princess Bambi and Bugs Bunny ... and defends Candace Owens and other odious people.

I was watching “sailor of the king” and wondered if the director had a crush on Hunter the way he filmed him homoerotically throughout the picture. Then I found out the director was none other than the former husband of Hayley mills, Roy boulting.

I must say though that I think Hunter was filmed beautifully in this film in both his uniform and half naked for the second half. He looked like a fantasy with his body glistening with sweat and a slight smattering of chest hair.

I’ve revisited some of his movies lately because they were mentioned in other threads and it’s curious that he wasn’t selected for some of those sexy male roles like brick in “cat on hot run roof”. He really would have been good in some of those Tennessee Williams pictures.

I've read that Europeans don't tip ever--waiters, can drivers, bell hops . Are Americans expected to follow suit?

Do you tip when you go to Europe?

Federal judges wonder if they can’t keep themselves or their families safe, how are they expected to uphold the rule of law?

“I double dare you. Tell the judge. Give me a call back and tell that son of a bitch, we’re going to come for him and send his ass to prison… somebody should wipe him out. You damn white son of a trashy bitch,” a man said, his crackling over a voicemail for U.S. District Chief Judge John McConnell Jr. of Rhode Island.

The voicemail was one of 400 similar messages McConnell received. Investigators also told him someone on the dark web searched for his home address and posted a message about wanting “Smith & Wesson to visit.” The judge received six confirmed credible death threats, and his family wasn’t spared either.

El Salvador's congress has approved constitutional reforms to abolish presidential term limits, allowing President Nayib Bukele to run an unlimited number of times.

The reform, reviewed under an expedited procedure, will also extend term times to from five to six years, while the next election will be brought forward to 2027.

Mr Bukele, who has been president of the Central American nation since 2019, is a polarising figure. His major crackdown on crime has proved popular among voters, but human rights groups say thousands have been arbitrarily arrested.

OMG they’ve all aged!

Bobby is a GROWN MAN!

It took just one snap of Donald Trump Jr. striding behind his dad on the South Lawn for social media to go to town over the 47-year-old’s weirdly large chest.

And, in classic Trump tradition, within hours, the president’s son had attempted to turn it into a money-making opportunity.

One post, in which the image was shared without comment by journalist Aaron Rupar on X, led Don Jr.’s “rack” to become one of Wednesday’s most unlikeliest viral moments.

Which one will be the nelly queen and not the handsome “masculine” gay man we crave for this show?

The Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History in July removed references to President Donald Trump’s two impeachments from an exhibit display. A person familiar with the exhibit plans, who was not authorized to discuss them publicly, said the change came about as part of a content review that the Smithsonian agreed to undertake following pressure from the White House to remove an art museum director.

A temporary label including content about Trump’s impeachments had been on display since September 2021 at the Washington museum, a Smithsonian spokesperson told The Washington Post, adding that it was intended to be a short-term addition to address current events.

He was so young and so tiny. What happened??

Tens of thousands of fans gathered in Ozzy Osbourne’s hometown of Birmingham, England on Wednesday for the funeral procession of the legendary rocker and Black Sabbath frontman, who died on July 22 at the age of 76.

The hearse holding Osbourne’s coffin made its way down Broad Street and past the Black Sabbath Bridge, where his widow, Sharon Osbourne, and children Jack and Kelly Osbourne got out to look at the overwhelming amount of goodbye messages left there. Sharon Osbourne was visibly emotional and leaned on her children for support as they walked hand in hand. After spending about five minutes at the bridge, they turned to the crowd and Sharon flashed Ozzy’s signature peace sign gesture.

I love birds. They deserve to be celebrated in song.

I'm Blake Edwards making another gay themed movie even though I'm 100% heterosexual.

Everyone called her Bea. Did she miss the memo? It’s as pretentious as Deborah Harry.

There's Disabled Barbie, Retarded Barbie, Diabetic Barbie... any ideas?

Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol is closing a convenience that was explicitly targeted toward Gen Z’s taste for “frictionless” experiences: their mobile-only “pickup” stores. The move signals a deliberate shift away from the high-speed, tech-driven model that defined much of the chain’s recent expansion. The coffee giant will convert or close approximately 80 to 90 of these mobile order-only locations nationwide by the end of 2026, Niccol said on Tuesday’s earnings call with analysts, marking the end of a six-year experiment that catered to on-the-go customers who seemed to prefer mobile ordering to lingering over a latte.

Announcing the closures, Niccol was direct about the rationale on Starbucks’ Tuesday call with analysts. “We found this format to be overly transactional and lacking the warmth and human connection that defines our brand,” he said.

Built primarily in urban centers, airports, and hospitals, these stores were designed to maximize convenience—no cash registers, limited or zero seating, and an efficient grab-and-go experience orchestrated through the Starbucks app. Starbucks wants to bring back the warm coffeehouse.

The move comes amid a period of challenge and transition for Starbucks. Sales at stores that have been open for at least one year have declined for six straight quarters, with North American sales have dropped by 2% most recently. Analysts point to customer fatigue with impersonal, tech-centric transactions and “soulless” atmospheres, especially as competitors offer new forms of hospitality and engagement. It’s also a tricky needle to thread, as Starbucks disclosed in its earnings that 31% of all transactions are mobile, making it a critical part of the business.

Despite the wishes of some Dataloungers, as this writer points out, it's clear that BOTH "Superman" and "The Fantastic Four: First Steps" are box office successes, after so many recent misfires in the genre and the proclamation of its death. This analyst for The Guardian points out some good reasons for why these two are succeeding where other superhero movies in recent years have not done so well:

*They don't waste time with re-hashing origin stories. No one needs or really wants a large part of the movie wasted by seeing Krypton blow up again or Reed and Ben and the Storms get hit by cosmic rays.

*They have an entry-point for kids so the films are fun for them, and so they've got some lighthearted elements, and draw most of their plot elements and tone from the Silver Age of Comics (roughly 1955-1970), when comics were far less grim than they were in the 90s and 00s.

*They're both more-or-less stand-alone features. Unlike Thunderbolts or Captain America: Brave New World, you don't need to have watched multiple other movies or other TV series to know what's going on.

*They're not all trying to be as grandiose or cross-over-heavy as Avengers: Endgame, which cannot be easily replicated

The television role which made her famous is the epitome of female emancipation. As the PR mogul Samantha Jones in the American series Sex and the City, she's romped her way to celebrity status through her character's immense appetite for sex and liberal attitude towards it.

The actress herself originally turned down the part, but six series and two movies later, she is now at the very top of her profession. She played her first film role for Otto Preminger when she was 17, had starring roles in the comedy films Porky's, Police Academy, and Mannequin, and among many serious stage roles played opposite Ian McKellen in the Broadway production of Chekov's Wild Honey.

Of the part that has made her famous, she says, "I don't think there has ever been a woman on television who has expressed so much sexual joy without being punished."

Let's discuss DL fav Kim Cattrall

I always knew my family immigrated here very long ago, but not until my sister did the genealogical research did we learn that our earliest ancestors arrived in 1660. They were known as Palatines. Two brothers from Prussia (later became Germany) were the first to arrive. My father carried the name of one brother 300+ years later. They became colonists, farmers and eventual landowners who later settled farms in Ohio, a branch moved south and owned slaves. Some were part of the Pennsylvania Dutch colony. My branch settled in CA in 1905.

In doing some research I was amused to find this quote from Benjamin Franklin, complaining about the Palatine refugees:

"Why should the Palatine boors be suffered to swarm into our settlements, and by herding together establish their language and manners to the exclusion of ours? Why should Pennsylvania, founded by the English, become a colony of aliens, who will shortly be so numerous as to Germanize us instead of us Anglifying them, and will never adopt our language or customs, any more than they can acquire our complexion."

Things never change, do they?

My ancestors fought in the American Revolution and every war after through WWII. My family also is now so mixed by marrying newer immigrants that I carry the DNA of 12 different nationalities. The youngest generation now includes a mix of European, Scandinavian, Spanish, Mexican, Jewish, African American, and now, Asian, DNA.

Isn't diversity, equality, and love grand?

What's your family immigration experience?

Kim Cattrall is doing a happy dance right now....

I'm an eldergay and even I don't remember it.

There better be lots and lots of nudies!

It was slightly before I was born, but it sounds like a simple enough premise: Bring the era's biggest stars together to sing a soaring single, and donate the proceeds to famine relief.

It's a diverse group, too. Ray Charles to Kim Carnes, Bruce Springsteen to Bette Midler, also Cyndi Lauper and Dan Aykroyd show up, for some reason.

A few stars hogged the mic, though: Stevie Wonder and Ray Charles (well), Cyndi Lauper and Springsteen (poorly).

So what was it like at the time? Was this a big deal that people liked and supported? Did it end up helping people?

Republican Sen. Josh Hawley introduced legislation Monday to provide tariff rebate checks of at least $600 per adult and child to American families, similar to the stimulus checks the government distributed during the Covid pandemic.

Hawley, R-Mo., submitted his legislation after having pledged to do so Friday after President Donald Trump told reporters he would be interested in sending a tariff-related rebate check to Americans.

“Like President Trump proposed, my legislation would allow hard-working Americans to benefit from the wealth that Trump’s tariffs are returning to this country,” Hawley said in a statement.

From the heat to the state's power grid, Joe Rogan's friends are learning that Texas isn't what they were promised.

Schaub, who Rogan has had on The Joe Rogan Experience multiple times, moved from Los Angeles to Austin earlier this year, but has said on his show, The Fighter and the Kid, that he misses Los Angeles.

"I miss my community and my routine," Schaub said in June. He recalled a conversation with a fellow LA-to-Texas transplant, who told Schaub that Austin "is no LA."

Schuab is far from the first. In September 2024, Tim Dillon, a Los Angeles comedian who hosts podcast The Tim Dillon Show, called Austin "a horrible city without a soul" on a podcast with actor Whitney Cummings. Lured to Austin by the promise of low taxes and a "new" experience, Dillon quickly soured.

"It's a soulless city that should be burned to the ground and everyone that lives here should be summarily executed," Dillon joked. "It is not the 'live music capital of America,' it's three heroin addicts busking with guitars. There is zero talent here in any capacity. There's three restaurants that are good and I've been to all of them twice."

Dillon, who moved to Austin shortly after Rogan, announced in the summer of 2021 that he would be moving back to Los Angeles. Dillon said that the COVID-19 pandemic and Rogan's 2020 decision to move to Texas made him want a change of scenery, and that while he had "never loved Austin," he was willing to give it a chance, even though it wasn't a "world-class city."

"Yes, the taxes are better. 
And yes, there are benefits to not being in LA. And yes, LA is a host of problems," Dillon said on his podcast. "But I moved here because, first and foremost, I said, something new will be good. I was wrong."

Another Rogan associate was more direct with his criticism of Texas.

"Texas f--king blows," comedian Shane Gillis said in a June episode of the Andrew Schulz podcast, recalling a storm that left his Austin home without power for three days. "It's hot as f--k. The second we ran out of power, the house was 90 degrees and bugs came in immediately."

"They're on their own power grid, like f--king idiots," Schulz added.

Schuab, Gillis and Dillon are far from the only comedians to not see what Rogan sees. In January, New Orleans-native comedian Mark Normand called Austin's comedy scene "a punchline." Normand has also declared that "moving to Texas is over," and last summer complained about Texas' weather and Austin's homeless population.

"That city is a boiling pot of evil goo, just circling a dish," Normand said in July 2024.

Everywhere you look, comedians in Rogan's orbit are trashing Austin. So if you've had enough of California and New York transplants ruining Texas, don't worry. It appears the fever may have broken.

Interesting.

And yes, she gained alot of weight.

But I will always love her for Smilla's Sense of Snow-

She drives into it!

Another from the CNN Travel series profiles of Americans who left the U.S. to live abroad, this one not with a comically bad (retreat) ending.

Forget the "red flags," it's not so down to the country to which you move, it's down to you.

This season promises to be a shit show.

In an interview with The Guardian on July 26, the actress spoke candidly about her thoughts on plastic surgery, referring to women who have undergone such procedures as "disfigured."

"I’ve been very vocal about the genocide of a generation of women by the cosmeceutical industrial complex, who’ve disfigured themselves," Curtis told the outlet. In reference to a prop she brought to wear for the accompanying photo shoot, the star added, "The wax lips really sends it home.”

The Oscar winner then doubled down on her use of the word "genocide."

"I’ve used that word for a long time and I use it specifically because it’s a strong word. I believe that we have wiped out a generation or two of natural human appearance."

It's official! "Gone with the Wind": Melodramatic. Garish. Flop.

Justin Timberlake was seen screaming at his stage crew during his performance at the Lytham Festival in Lytham St Annes, England, earlier this month.

The pop star seemed to lose his cool when his set was cut short due to a sound issue, according to a fan video shared via TikTok.

In the clip, Timberlake was approached by two crew members who seemingly told him it was going to take a while to fix the issue.

Visibly upset, Timberlake seemed to raise his voice at the two men while shaking his head and making angry hand gestures. Ironically, he was in the middle of singing his 2002 breakup anthem, “Cry Me A River.”

At least 6 dead so far. Daily Fail reports a summer camp cabin got swept away. Looks bad.

He deserves an award for this.

He's so damned good looking, but I can't seem to find his name anywhere.

Does anyone know who he is???

Was it a self-revelation, or did someone tell you?

Who do you consider had the greatest ass of its generation?

I'll start. Not worrying about birth control.

Oh, I do wish tradesmen would extend just a touch more consideration when calling at the door. One does try to be prompt, of course—but it’s not as if I live in a bungalow, for heaven’s sake. This is a stately home with multiple levels, and I cannot be expected to sprint down from the third floor like Usain Bolt every time the doorbell rings.

I suspect they’re simply not accustomed to homes with such grandeur. Probably used to knocking on the doors of semi-detached dwellings where the lounge doubles as the front hall and the entire household can be traversed in six paces. But really, in a residence such as mine, it takes time to descend with dignity. I refuse to arrive at my own front door panting, especially without my caftan.

A little respect for the domestic architecture, that’s all I ask.

I had seen a few episodes before and the show was pretty funny. I like the interplay among the ensemble - sharp writing.

I have just started watching the series from the beginning, and it is still very funny but like a family sitcom with AA as another invisible character.

I will be interested to see how they go from this beginning to the ensemble with veteran comedy actresses.

As she graces this month’s hotly anticipated issue of AARP Magazine!

They just don't make them in Small anymore.

The latest effort appears to be tied to interviews given by a man named Frank Cappola, who was a teenager in the 1970s. He said he worked at the old PJP Landfill in Jersey City with his father, Paul Cappola.

Cappola said his dying father in 2008 explained how Hoffa’s body was delivered to the landfill in 1975, placed in a steel drum and buried with other barrels, bricks and dirt, according to Moldea.

Paul Cappola, worried that police might be watching that day, dug a hole on New Jersey state property, about 100 yards from the landfill, and dumped the unmarked barrel there, Moldea said Friday.

“Then he put 15 to 30 steel drums on top of it, which were filled with toxic adhesives, and bulldozed the area flat,” Moldea said.

She often gets forgotten today, but she was one of the biggest stars alive in the 30s and early 40s. She was famous even before her pairings with Nelson MacDonald either through her pairings with Maurice Chevalier (in films like Monte Carlo and Love Me Tonight) or even not with other male singers (such as with Clark Gable in San Francisco). She was genuinely beautiful, and had a great charisma onscreen.

When she died in 1965, she had one of the grandest funerals in the history of Hollywood, and it was even said that it amrked the death of the Old Hollywood. Not only did her former co-stars attend--Eddy, Chevalier, Allan jones, Spencer Tracy, Joe E. Brown) but so did tow former presidents (Truman and Eisenhower) and several politicians who would become president in time (Nixon and Reagan), as well as many of the greatest stars of old Hollywood.

By this time, however, her piping soprano had gone completely out of popular fashion. When the Oscarcast would include clips from her films in the Seventies, the audience would usually giggle because her operatic singing style (once also affected by stars like Grace Moore, Ann Blyth, Irene Dunne, and Kathryn Grayson) had become so unfashionable and seemed campy.

My sister read it from cover to cover. The mag's message seemed schizophrenic: take charge of your life... be your own woman... you can have it all! Then on the cover would be a model with an inch of makeup and her tits hanging out.

Are women really nothing without a man?

They lost South Park and now this.

And so the Times basically becomes worse than Fox News.

“As major economies fall in line to sign agreements that include the highest tariffs in modern history, the president’s vision for global trade is rapidly being realized.”

In 1995 I replaced a stolen TV with an IBM computer that gave me access to gay porn.

I’ve noticed that I don’t have the mental acuity to spot specific penises or asshole, but I have been successful in finding the kind of raunch I need..

The rest of the internet is just cats for me.

You are not alone I am here with you...

Well?

Like Comic Con for the elderly gay male porn stars of yesteryear?

Hard to believe it's the 30th Anniversary of The Real World: London.

I really loved the cast: Neil, Kat, Jacinda, Jay, Mike, Lars, and Sharon.

I wonder what they're all up to now?

I know Jacinda is married to Gabriel Macht from suits, but how about the rest?

I'm the first suspect who's always just a red herring.

I saw this on Twitter last night.

[quote]Hollywood actor and lifelong Democrat John Hamm has great jeans!

From lipstick and bulletproof vests to cowboy hats, Kristi Noem’s work wardrobe has earned her a new nickname: “Cosplay Kristi.”

Ditching the typical White House attire, the U.S. Homeland Security Secretary began her new gig by tagging along on Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids in full makeup, curled hair wearing a baseball ICE hat and bulletproof vest. She later joined Fox News wearing a completely different border patrol outfit—and so her first nickname came to be: ICE Barbie.

But on Sunday, 53-year-old Noem took her costume up a notch—this time, wearing a giant cowboy hat with her makeup and hair in full-glam mode on NBC’s Meet the Press.

Any of you had it? How bad is it?

Zoe Zaldana and Thandie Newton always get mistaken for one another. They do alike but I could never mistake them because Zoe looks so much younger.

Disable link previews to watch the clip.

I want to watch her media appearances because she does know stuff, but she really creeps me out with her sneering attitude.

They were so funny.

Examples:

I detest raw tomatoes, but I love gazpacho

I hate fish, but I like tuna salad.

I used to disdain coffee, but even then I liked coffee-flavored things like ice cream or candies.

I stayed up in Ptown for 4 days last week, and it was weird.

I’ve been visiting annually for over a decade. It really is a magical place…or was a magical place.

This time the vibe was off—it was overrun with straight people! Usually there’s a 50/50 mix of straights and gays. This year it seemed more like 90/10 straights and gays. Also, it was also oddly empty once the straight day trippers left.

A friend who owns and rents out an apartment in Ptown says that Canadians and Europeans aren’t coming this year so there are many vacancies. Adding to that, the weekly price of apartments is up in the crazy $5000 -7000 range!

Finally, it was the hottest summer I’ve ever experienced in Ptown. Usually Ptown is a great vacation spot because it’s cooler than the mid-Atlantic states and below. Not this year! It was blazing hot and humid, and I fear it’ll just get hotter over the years.

Not sure what I’ll do next year—I’ve been lucky with my rent because I’ve been renting from the same place for the last 5 years, and they’ve kept my rent low. If they move the price to where the market is, I’ll be priced out. I’m also not sure I like the hordes of straight people or the hot temperatures. Maybe a Sept break might be a better idea, although there’ll be fewer of everyone there.

I think this deserves it own thread.

[quote] Mirrorproniminal, is a subset of mutopronoun in which one identifies with the pronouns of the person referring to them. Someone who is mirrorpronominal has different pronoun sets for each person.

[quote] For example, a hypothetical mirrorpronominal person is X, another person is Y, and another person is Z:

[quote] Y identifies with she/her pronouns, so X identifies with she/her pronouns in the context of Y referring to them; Y can refer to X with she/her pronouns (and nothing else).

[quote] Z identifies with he/they pronouns, so X identifies with he/they pronouns in the context of Z referring to them; Z can refer to X with he/they pronouns (and nothing else).

[quote] Mirrorpronominal people may be strictly mirrorpronominal, or they may also identify with a base pronoun set that anyone (or almost anyone) can refer to them with. For example, if X has ze/hir as hir base pronoun set:

[quote] Y can refer to hir with both ze/hir and she/her pronouns (and nothing else).

[quote] Z can refer to hir with both ze/hir and he/they pronouns (and nothing else).

At brunch last week, a friend mentioned a weird dream he had, and I casually said I’d had a bizarre one with Madonna. Someone immediately perked up and said they had too. Then it snowballed, turns out almost all 8 of us had dreamt about Madonna at some point in our lives. A couple even had Cher cameos.

For the record, I’m not even a big fan. Only Madonna CD I ever owned was 'Ray of Light'.

So, DL, have you had dreams with Madonna too? What would Dr. Freud say?

And you need not be a Norwegian catholic.

The first two episodes dropped today.

To my mind this is the best ST show since The Next Generation. Love Captain Pike, love hot Spock, love Jim Kirk's mustachioed little bitch brother. I love Uhura and Chapel, even though they look and act nothing like Nichelle Nichols and Majel Barrett, and it is inconceivable they could one day grow up to become them.

I can even tolerate the navigator who seems to be patterned on Che Diaz (awful lesbian haircut, cocky and mouthy).

Why do people hate Shanin Blake so much? I only heard about who she was from hearing people make fun of her or post memes about her online. I don’t like her music but she seems really happy and seems to only say positive things. She’s really pretty and I like her unique fashion sense. I don’t get what there is to hate about her even if she’s not your thing.

Ryan Armstrong is playing Nova the vampire slayer — a rather appropriate name, being Latin for "new."

In other casting news, the report states that young actor Kingston Vernes will portray Carson, a popular student and Junior Olympian who Nova will have a crush on.

Unlike other recent cast confirmations, Vernes' role is planned as a recurring character. Earlier this week, details were released on the rest of the Buffy reboot's core cast — including what appeared to be confirmation of its new 'Scooby Gang.'

This included Severance's Sarah Bock as Gracie, Law & Order: SVU's Ava Jean as Larkin, and Faly Rakotohavana as Hugo. Major Crimes' Daniel di Tomasso plays Abe, while Frasier's Jack Cutmore-Scott is the mysterious Mr. Burke.

Per a previous casting leak, Gracie is Nova's best friend, while Hugo is another friend with a crush on Nova. Mr. Burke, meanwhile, will be the new school librarian — a throwback to the original series' Giles.

Deadline reports that a writer's room has been assembled, and production on a full first season will likely begin in March 2026 if the series' forthcoming pilot is picked up by Hulu for a full season.

There's no word yet on any further returning characters other than Buffy herself, but Gellar — who also serves as an executive producer on the project — has said she hopes to see other classic characters (but not Alyson Hannigan) return. Indeed, Buffy actress Charisma Carpenter has already told IGN she'd be keen to appear, after an "unjust" end to her character on spin-off Angel.

GLADIATORRRRRR!

The Gay was being FORCED on him and his family by the evil Wokesters, so he moved to RuZZia, where there are no gays and no woke.

He was then called up for military service. Having been told he would serve in the rear, 🤭, he loudly proclaimed he’d serve RuZZia to prove his loyalty to his adopted homeland.

Alas. He’s actually going to be a Mobik on the front lines, in the expected human wave attacks coming in the next month. He’ll likely be dead within a month or so.

I hated the ‘80s but by today’s standards it was pretty tame! And I was in my 20s, on one end of the curve of my life, back then. Now, I’m on the other end of the curve and thinking back on that time before the digital “revolution” and before Fox News, and feeling a bit nostalgic for that vanished world.

So am considering reading what many consider the quintessential 80s novel.

Does it suck? I’ve read some reviews to indicate it does. I’m not talking about De Palma’s cinematic abortion by the way.

[quote]We are writing to inform you about an important legal requirement that applies to all foreign nationals who already have approved residency in Panama.

[quote]As of this new notice, any resident whose address is not updated in the Immigration Registry must pay a fine of B/. 100.00 when submitting the update. The law requires that any change of address be reported within thirty (30) calendar days.

[quote]Failure to comply will result in penalties, as outlined in the decree: “Failure to report a change of address or any update to the information submitted to the Immigration Registry (Articles 37 and 87) will result in a fine of B/. 100.00 for the first offense; cancellation of immigration status for the second offense; and deportation for the third.” If you moved to a new address in Panama and did not report the change within the 30-day window, you will be required to pay the B/. 100.00 fine at the time of the update.

[quote]If you are unsure which address is currently registered, Contact your legal representative. If we handled your residency process, we may have this information on file.

OK -- I'm almost certain that when I applied for residency, they used the address of my hotel as my legal address. And I'm still not living there -- while my dog's health is still deteriorating, she still seems to have almost as many good days as bad, although the good days aren't nearly as good as they used to be. The point is, I probably won't move there until, perhaps, September/October.

What does this e-mail mean? It tells me all I'd need to do to show them I live at a certain address in Panama, but since I don't, I am confused.

I will try to get in touch with the lawyer's office, but I don't expect to hear anything back from them.

Can any of you make any suggestions? Thank you so much -- I know you'll come through for me.

Might have to have one. The big needle sounds scary as fuck.

The Italian shipbuilder CEO was very quick to blame the crew, in fact three of them are still persons of interest but the UK’s Marine Accident Investigation Branch has released the first detailed account:

[quote] which found the boat had “vulnerabilities” to extreme wind which were not known to the owner or crew.

and

[quote] There was no indication of flooding inside Bayesian until water came in over the starboard rails and, within seconds, entered the internal spaces down the stairwells,” the report said.

There’s more; worth reading. Waiting for the Italian response. Preparations are underway to raise the boat. Sadly a salvage diver died a couple days ago. It’s a dangerous job.

Very long hair after 40 make most women look older yet it seems to be a style adopted by many women today. Just think of all those older gals on the Real Housewives franchise, the many anchorwomen on the news or all those actresses on TV shows. Many just look ridiculous. Shoulder length is so much more flattering so why do women still feel that they look their best with this specific, and not so easy to maintain hairstyle ? They can't be washing their hair daily ? Two women I love, Nicolle Wallace and Jennifer Coolidge are 53 and 64 and still keep this look which seem to be weighing them down.

I just discovered what a great combo these two make. It has changed my life.

Is anyone watching? It has a gay storyline, but it's not about being gay.

I'm only at the end of the first episode, but I think it shows promise.

BTW, I did a search -- and even on Google! -- and I found nothing. So sorry if this has already been discussed.

I learned lots of new facts about the show after watching this one.

I wish it went more into the Kes departure and the 2 Of Breasts arrival tho.

This film gets brought up in the comments a lot, but I couldn't find a wholistic discussion thread. This elegant film dissects sexuality and politics through the eyes of a young woman. Filmed on location in Boston. Based on the classic novel by Henry James.

Starring Vanessa Redgrave, Christopher Reeve, Madeleine Potter, Wesley Addy, Nancy Marchand, Linda Hunt, Wallace Shawn, Barbara Bryne, and Jessica Tandy.

I have an interview in Philadelphia next month and will be staying in City Center. Any recommendations for places to eat or things to do? Areas to avoid?

As a OP of that thread I enjoyed all the tea spilled about this cute but messy bitch. But somehow that thread got blocked so I did pt 2.

Neal McDonough, the veteran character actor who has appeared in everything from “Band of Brothers” to “Desperate Housewives,” “Minority Report,” “American Horror Story,” “Suits” and more, revealed during an interview on the “Nothing Left Unsaid” podcast (exclusive shared by TMZ) that Hollywood shut him out when he refused to kiss other actors on screen. McDonough has been married to Ruvé Robertson since 2003. The couple has five children together.

“I’d always had in my contracts I wouldn’t kiss another woman on-screen,” McDonough said. “My wife didn’t have any problem with it. It was me, really, who had a problem with it. When I couldn’t do it, and they couldn’t understand it, Hollywood just completely turned on me. They wouldn’t let me be part of the show anymore.”

Of course

Country artist Alexis Wilkins says she’s had enough of the “insanely ridiculous” conspiracy theories swirling around her romantic relationship with Trump’s FBI Director Kash Patel.

In a wide-ranging interview on Megyn Kelly’s show, the 26-year-old dismissed MAGA chatter accusing her of being a secret Israeli “honeypot” agent planted to compromise Trumpworld via the 45-year-old Patel. “We just happened to meet,” she said, at an “event that we both went to at a friend’s house.”

The pair’s 19-year age gap, Wilkins added, never felt relevant compared to his “incredible character” and their shared patriotism.

“I have always liked, when I met him, I just liked that he was so, so honest,” gushed Wilkins. “He’s exactly who he is all the time. His character is incredible. His values are incredible.”

Isn’t it scrumptious looking?

Saw this on social media the other day - apologies, I don't know what book this is from, but it's a list of topics that was compiled as a sort of "quiz" for any prospective Vogue employees (and perhaps other Conde Nast magazines, too).

How many on this list do YOU know - and know well enough to explain their significance?

I was at the library and saw "Bonfire," a novel by Krysten Ritter, which had a rave blurb from Gillian Gaar (Gone Girl), so I picked it up. What the hell.

It turned out Krysten really could write, and not with help from a ghost; it was a solid suspense novel that kept me guessing. It would be a terrific miniseries — secrets of a small town, etc.

What other celebrities can actually write fiction well without help? I know Stacey Abrams published a bunch of romances under a pen name before moving to legal thrillers under her own name. There have to be others.

After Deadline reported a Murder, She Wrote reboot in the works at Universal, Jamie Lee Curtis has officially confirmed she’s on the case.

The Oscar winner revealed she “a minute away” from taking over the late Angela Lansbury’s beloved middle-aged mystery writer and amateur sleuth role, Jessica Fletcher, in a feature adaptation of the CBS series that ran for 12 seasons from 1984 to ’96.

“Oh, it’s… happening,” Curtis playfully confirmed to Entertainment Tonight. “We’re a minute away, but yeah, [I’m] very excited. Very excited. But I’m tamping down my enthusiasm until we start shooting. I have a couple of other things to hustle, but then I’ll get to enjoy that work.”

In December, Deadline’s The Dish exclusively reported that Curtis was in talks to star in a Murder, She Wrote film penned by Lauren Schuker Blum and Rebecca Angelo, with producers Lord Miller and Amy Pascal.

Lansbury starred from 1984 to 1996 in what became one of the most successful and longest-running shows in TV history. Her Jessica Fletcher was a retired schoolteacher turned successful mystery writer, who proves to have an uncanny knack for solving real-life murders. The show was primarily set in the seaside town of Cabot Cove, Maine, though Jessica often travels to other locales as cases unfold.

Scoring four Golden Globes and multiple Emmy nominations for her performance as Jessica Fletcher, Lansbury reprised the role for four TV movies.

Cutie pie.

She was also the head of HR for his company, so she should have known better.

He didn't live in Arizona. He chose to run there because it was easy.

I wasn’t thrilled by it. Maybe I should see it on stage?

Granted, I saw it on a plane seat back so it was small and not crystal clear and the audio played the songs too loud. But the songs didn’t really strike me as anything great and I’m a huge fan of both “Godspell” and “Pippin”. But they were decades ago.

One thing I didn’t like was all the reaction shots of the crowds. The extras really overdid it when they were supposed to be awed, or frightened, or happy. And were there men dressed as students at the University? Or were those just really ugly women?

Any ideas why he’s here. Is it 5 👀?

I’ve been using Spotify for a good 15 years and over the last year started using Apple Music only because my sister has the family plan and added me to it so I get it for free.

I got a free 3 month trial to Amazon Music (don’t mock me but I didn’t know they had an app) and its interface is better than Apple Music and they have more music overall too. Also, the songs sound better and louder on Amazon Music for some reason.

I’m shocked. It’s the closest to Spotify than any of the music streamers.

I’m actually liking it and have been using it more often lately.

Ugh! Justin you can do so much better.

A Texas dad who moved his family to Russia to escape what he called “LGBT indoctrination” is now stunned that his service in Vladimir Putin’s army has elicited “hatred” from critics.

Derek Huffman, a 46-year-old former construction worker, made headlines earlier this year when he uprooted his wife and three young daughters for a new life in Moscow, leaving Texas in search of more “traditional values.”

In May, he joined the Russian military in the hopes of fast-tracking citizenship. By June, the new recruit was a little surprised to be heading for a combat role on the front lines in Ukraine.

A Virginia elected official was doused with gasoline and set on fire outside his workplace Tuesday in a shocking broad-daylight attack — though authorities say the alleged attacker had personal, not political, grievances.

According to the Danville Police Department, officers responded just after 11:30 a.m. to reports of a man on fire outside the offices of Showcase Magazine on Main Street. Witnesses said a man entered the building with a large bucket, poured gasoline on City Councilman Lee Vogler, and lit him on fire as he ran outside.

"An individual forced his way into our office carrying a five gallon bucket of gasoline and poured it on Lee," Andrew Brooks, who runs Showcase Magazine and co-owns it with Vogler, said in a Facebook video. "Lee attempted to flee, ran to the front of the building — the individual followed him and set him on fire."

He used surrogacy to have a child. He’s a registered child rapist.

These Hollywood liberals truly have no self-awareness, do they.

Russia’s armed forces have suffered a surge of HIV infections during the war in Ukraine, which has been attributed to fatalistic soldiers having unprotected sex and using drugs.

The number of HIV cases in the military has shot up since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in early 2022, including a fivefold increase by autumn that year.

By the end of 2023, there were 20 times more HIV diagnoses among Russian soldiers compared with before the war.

Tsunami alerts were issued for Alaska, Hawaii and the U.S. West Coast on Tuesday after a major, 8.7 magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of Russia, according to officials.

The earthquake occurred about 85 miles off the east coast of Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula with a depth of nearly 12 miles, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

A warning was announced for Alaska's Aleutian Islands and Hawaii. California, Oregon and Washington are under a tsunami watch, as well as the U.S. territory of Guam, while the threat is being evaluated.

Last four paragraphs

Trump then called on a friendly reporter, who asked him what, as a builder, he “would do with a project manager who is over budget”.

“Generally speaking, ”Trump said, “I’d fire him.”

As Trump, Powell and Scott stepped away from the media to continue the tour, Trump said that there is something that Powell could do to assuage his concerns about the cost of the renovations. “I’d love him to lower interest rates,” he said.

Powell has asserted, repeatedly, that the president does not have the power to fire him, as the head of an independent agency, and that decisions on interest rates must be immune to political pressure.

According to local eldergay zionists, the only possible explanation for today's widely reported story that, for the first time in history, two leading and respected Israeli human rights groups have declared that the nation of Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.

According to regular Datalounge posters Harvey (age 89, but "looks 60") and Ezra (age 76, twice declared legally dead by paramedics), this is propaganda and these two respected Israel-based human rights groups do not actually exist and are actually fronts for Hamas.

Further, and completely related, Harvey and Ezra want to remind you that every single Arab and every single Muslim in the world spends approximately 3 hours a day throwing known and suspected homosexual men off the the roofs of buildings, while every Israeli citizen spends approximately 18 hours a day celebrating LGB (but not T) people with daily parades, free meals at all restaurants and (unsolicited) back massages. They will not entertain any follow up questions and any attempt to challenge their hasbara talking points will immediately be classified as anti-S terrorism.

Donald Trump said he disagrees with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's claim that no starvation is taking place among the people of Gaza.

"Based on television, I would say not particularly, because those children look very hungry," Trump said July 28 when asked by a reporter whether he agrees with Netanyahu's assessment. "But we're giving a lot of money and a lot of food, and other nations are now stepping up."

Trump made the remarks ahead of a bilateral meeting with U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer in Turnberry, Scotland, where the second-term U.S. president arrived July 25 for a four-day trip.

Danville City Council member Lee Vogler was attacked at the office of a local media outlet, Showcase Magazine, where he works, in Danville, a small city roughly 45 miles northwest of Greensboro, North Carolina, police said in a statement.

A man entered the office Wednesday morning and confronted Vogler before he doused him in flammable liquid, authorities said. Vogler and the suspect then exited the building, where the suspect lit Vogler on fire, they said.

Police said that Vogler was airlifted to a hospital and that his condition remains unknown.

Police identified the suspect as Shotsie Michael Buck Hayes, 29, of Danville. He fled but was picked up by law enforcement several blocks away, police added.

Police said the attack "stems from a personal matter not related to the victim’s position on Danville City Council or any other political affiliation."

She's about to start senior year in high school but just found out she's pregnant by her boyfriend.

She will likely get an abortion because no way would her parents allow a new baby to get in the way of my niece's education and eventual career.

The big dilemma: Her on-and-off boyfriend is amazingly hot--handsome beyond belief, with an amazing body! They would have such a beautiful baby together. It's doubtful the relationship would last past high school.

In the hopes of having a stunning child with some fantastic genes, should she have the baby?

Singer / songwriter Paul Anka turns 84 today. His songs include "Diana", “You Are My Destiny", “Lonely Boy", "Put Your Head on My Shoulder", and "(You're) Having My Baby".

Anka also wrote the theme for The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson; one of Tom Jones' biggest hits, "She's a Lady"; and the English lyrics to Claude François and Jacques Revaux's music for Frank Sinatra's signature song "My Way", which has been recorded by many, including Elvis Presley.

In 1974, he teamed up with Odia Coates to record the No. 1 hit, "(You're) Having My Baby", exposing Anka to a new generation of fans and proving his staying power among his original fan base that was now maturing.

Anka and Coates recorded three more duets that made it into the Top 20: "One Man Woman/One Woman Man" (No. 7), "I Don't Like to Sleep Alone" (No. 8), and the No. 15 duet "(I Believe) There's Nothing Stronger Than Our Love". In 1975, he recorded a jingle for Kodak written by Bill Lane (lyrics) and Roger Nichols (melody) called "Times of Your Life". It became so popular Anka recorded it as a full song, which peaked at No. 7 in the US pop chart in 1976. The follow-up was another hit that Anka wrote for Sinatra, "Anytime (I'll Be There)", peaking at No. 33. Anka's last Top 40 hit in the US was in the summer of 1983: "Hold Me 'Til the Mornin' Comes", which included backing vocals from then-Chicago frontman Peter Cetera; it hit No. 2 on the Hot Adult Contemporary chart.

On October 12, 2009, Anka stated that Michael Jackson's new release titled "This Is It" was a collaborative effort between the two in 1980. According to Anka, after recording the song, Jackson decided not to use it and the tune was then recorded and released by Sa-Fire. After Anka threatened to sue for credit and a share of royalties, the administrators of Jackson's estate granted Anka 50% of the copyright. An additional song that Jackson co-wrote with Anka from this 1980 session, "Love Never Felt So Good", was discovered shortly thereafter.

Wow. It was nice to see a good Alien film again! It’s the best one since Aliens! Much better than Alien 3, Resurrection, Prometheus and Covenant. Covenant makes me sad because I really wanted that one to be good but it was meh.

Romulus lives up to the acclaim and is actually a good time and feels a bit like a throwback to the OG film. The tone of this one is horror like the original, unlike its sequels.

I will say that the second half moves slower than the first half despite that being the half with all the deaths etc. it could have easily shaved off 20 minutes or so, but still, a terrific film. Go see it!!! All the young actors do a terrific job but Cailee Spaeny is magnificent as the lead character, Rain Carradine. Cailee and David Jonnson give breakout star performances, with Jonnson being the heart of the film.

The story is simple, like the original, but magnificent the same. This film has some of the best cinematography I’ve seen so far this year. It’s a must see in theaters.

Procter & Gamble, the maker of several household staples including Tide detergent and Charmin toilet paper, is hiking prices because of President Donald Trump’s tariffs.

The company revealed in Tuesday’s earnings call that its profits will take a $1 billion hit because of tariffs, a larger cost the company originally projected in June. As a result, P&G will increase prices on about 25% of its products, going into effect next month.

P&G previously warned in April that it was going to increase prices due to tariffs.

CEO Jon Moeller said Tuesday a number of factors deflated consumer spending on its products, including “tariffs, inflation, interest rates, political and social divisiveness.”

The Pampers maker imports raw ingredients, packaging materials and some finished products into the US from China, while the vast majority – roughly 90% – of what it sells is produced domestically, the company has previously said.

The company announced in June it was slashing about 6% of its workforce over the next two years as part of a broader restructuring plan that includes eliminating some products in certain markets.

P&G joins a long list of well-known companies that are increasing prices because of Trump’s often erratic stance on tariffs. Nike, Walmart, Best Buy as well as car companies Ford and Subaru have all said they are raising prices.

This is not your grandmother’s nightgown. Or maybe it is. The same style of sleepwear that was once strictly relegated to bedrooms and boudoirs has now become the summer dress of the year.

Reformation’s Holly Sleep Dress, a floaty mini dress with a scrunched 1950s-style neckline with scalloped edges, was inspired by “vintage nightgowns that you can probably get away with wearing out and about,” the brand’s website read. Similarly, fellow cool-girl label Damson Madder noted that its Elspeth Nightdress, which features dainty floral embroidery and a broderie hemline, is “effortlessly wearable from night to day.” Meanwhile, If Only If — the British brand behind the scene-stealing nightgowns worn by Megan Stalter in Lena Dunham’s Netflix series “Too Much” — photographs models wearing their nighties with woven basket bags at the farmer’s market or out in the countryside.

White House officials and a close circle of conservative lawyers are preparing for Donald Trump to be able to hit the ground running if a Supreme Court vacancy opens up during the remaining three and a half years of his second term, according to sources inside and outside the White House.

The discussions are in early stages and focus on finding a nominee in the mold of Samuel Alito, 75, and Clarence Thomas, 77, the two oldest justices, both of whom are considered stalwart conservative jurists who have taken narrow interpretations of the Constitutional text while backing an expansive view of Presidential power.

Shortlists of judges are circulating among Trump allies as they debate who can be best trusted to stick with the Court's conservative wing during an appointment that could last decades.

Zendaya is working on so many movies. She’s now filming the next iteration of Dune, so she’s away doing that. It’s so many movies, so we have time. We have a lot of time,” he said.

Is there something intrinsically gay about weather?

The Trump administration has identified a new target in its battle with elite higher education, announcing a two-pronged front against Duke University on allegations the North Carolina school is in violation of the Civil Rights Act.

The Education Department is launching an investigation into Duke University and the Duke Law Journal, the department announced in a news release Monday, citing reporting that alleges the university was violating the Civil Rights Act. Education Secretary Linda McMahon and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. also sent a letter to Duke University “outlining shared concerns about the use of race preferences in Duke’s hiring, admissions, and scholarship decisions.”

The announcements come days after Columbia University reached a $200 million settlement with the Trump administration to restore federal funding to the school. Trump administration officials have cast the Columbia deal as a blueprint for other schools, and an administration official told CNN that Cornell and Brown universities are engaging in negotiations and agreements are in sight. The administration remains in multiple legal battles with Harvard University after freezing more than $2 billion in federal funding for the school.

Duke, so far, has not indicated that it’s willing to negotiate with the Trump administration, the official said. This marks the first time the administration has targeted a school in a state that President Donald Trump won in the 2024 election.

A spokesperson for Duke University did not immediately comment in response to a CNN request. CNN has also reached out to the Duke Law Journal.

The administration will investigate whether Duke and its law journal violated Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, which prohibits discrimination based on race, color or national origin in programs or activities receiving federal funding.

Separately, the letter from McMahon and Kennedy alleged “serious allegations of systemic racial discrimination permeating the operations of Duke University School of Medicine and other components of Duke Health.” The letter, according to HHS, “outlines expectations for a partnership-style pathway for Duke to work with HHS and the Department of Education to swiftly uncover prohibited race-based discrimination in Duke Health and come into compliance with certain Federal civil rights laws.”

If you choose a pre-calculated percentage based tip, the tip will be reduced commensurate with any out-of-stock items that are refunded thus lowering the grand total.

If you choose a custom tip, the tip remains the same even if items are out of stock and refunded thus lowering the grand total.

I always choose a custom tip which guarantees the shopper the tip regardless if items are out of stock. So why do the shoppers keep trying to push substitutes on me when I have clearly stated "Do Not Substitute, Refund". Why. Ugh.

Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin on Tuesday announced the proposed rollback of a 2009 declaration that determined carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases are a danger to public health and welfare.

“With this proposal, the Trump EPA is proposing to end 16 years of uncertainty for automakers and American consumers,” said Zeldin.

Earlier in the day, Zeldin said on the conservative “Ruthless” podcast that the rescission would be the “largest deregulatory action in the history of America,” which will “driv[e] a dagger into the heart of the climate change religion.

They met on a website called seeking.com, which encourages "hypergamy," or for the poorer partner (in this case David Armstriong) to be marrying above his or her social station in exchange for gifts and donations.

Meanwhile, Armstrong has sued Geffen, alleging the sugar daddy "used drugs and was abusive."

Entertainment mogul David Geffen has filed for divorce, to end his less-than-2-year marriage.

David married David Armstrong, aka Donovan Michaels -- a name he used when he performed as a go-go dancer -- 1 year, 11 months ago.

David, with the help of Disso Queen Laura Wasser, cited irreconcilable differences for the split.

On the surface, this is shocking -- the 82-year-old and his 32-year-old husband did not have a prenup.

Geffen, who Forbes says is worth $8.7 BILLION, has amassed a fortune over the years, so it would seem Armstrong would be looking at a pile of cash. But Geffen has been retired for 15 years and has no income other than stocks and other equities, which are all separate property. Under California law, dividends from stocks that are separate property are also separate property, so it seems Armstrong won't get much, if anything, in the way of cash.

I read daisy edgar jones is set to star in the new Netflix series.

Unless they take a radically different approach I really don’t see the need for this after the terrific 1995 mini series and a decent movie in 2005 with Keira Knightley.

I can see why they might remake a series that didn’t really fulfil its full potential but why this one which has had two successful versions already.

Are there no other Jane Austen or novels of that kind that can get adapted instead. I’d much rather see the much talked about ‘custom of the country’ instead- at least it would be original. So sick of remakes of already good movies/series.

Hikers randomly encounter a scene out of Bruce Weber’s imagination

Jamie Lee Curtis has an idea of who should play Ann-Margret in a biopic, and the Swedish-American actress and singer approves!

Curtis, 66, pitched her costar, Lindsay Lohan, to portray the film icon during a Monday, July 28, appearance on Good Morning America to promote Freakier Friday — and Ann-Margret later responded.

“I’m going to out you now to the world — I want her to do the Ann-Margret story," the Halloween alum told Lohan, 39, on the talk show. "So, every day on Instagram… I find videos of her back in the day, and I send [Lohan] every day videos [of Ann-Margret],”

Following the commentary, Ann-Margret, 84, gave her take on the topic.

“I know that she wants to do that,” the Viva Las Vegas actress told IndieWire. “It just depends on what the dialogue is like. What can I say? I adore her. I think she’s full of talent, and I just would like to see what they can come up with.”

Curtis mentioning Lohan and Ann-Margret as her dream collab isn’t the first time the idea has been discussed.

US President Donald Trump has launched fresh accusations against top Democratic figures Beyoncé, Oprah Winfrey, Al Sharpton, and Vice President Kamala Harris.Mr Trump is claiming they illegally received millions of dollars for political endorsements—an allegation made in a new Truth Social post that appears aimed at shifting focus from ongoing controversies linked to himself.

In his post, Mr Trump alleges that Democrats paid “Eleven Million Dollars to singer Beyoncé for an ENDORSEMENT (she never sang, not one note, and left the stage to a booing and angry audience!),” he said.“Three Million Dollars for ‘expenses’ to Oprah, Six Hundred Thousand Dollars to very low rated TV ‘anchor,’ Al Sharpton (a total lightweight!), and others to be named for doing, absolutely NOTHING!” US President Donald Trump has posted a barrage of messages, ranging from questioning finances to demanding sports teams revert to former names, and sharing an AI video of Barack Obama’s arrest. He goes on to claim, “YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO PAY FOR AN ENDORSEMENT. IT IS TOTALLY ILLEGAL TO DO SO. Kamala, and all of those that received Endorsement money, BROKE THE LAW. They should all be prosecuted!”

So the films biggest issue is her lack of screentime. When she’s on screen the movie is so much better. There is a scene where she chases them in space that is one of the most beautifully shot and intense action scenes ever in a superhero film. It’s THAT good a scene.

The film is good but not great like some are claiming. Some of the dialogue can be very cheesy and cringe, and the story is very basic. However, it is coherent and tightly written. No crazy subplots etc. however, there is an emotional scene close to the end that feels like a rehash of 2007’s “Rise of the Silver Surfer” and I didn’t like it.

Thing is probably the closest we’ve gotten to the comics. Sue Storm is once again the one who has to do the heavy lifting on the team and pretty much saves the day. This version of Johnny Storm is extremely watered down though. He isn’t quick witted, sarcastic, or a hyper sexual frat-like woman crazy hottie like he is in the comics or 2005 film. This one is toned down extremely. Almost neutered. He has no sexuality.

Overall a good film but the final battle was underwhelming. And Silver Surfer isnt on screen much.

Why is nobody stating and repeating over and over that, “tariffs are taxes on the american people.”

They should be repeating it over and over and over. For the 5% of americans with more than two brain cells, they can add additional information, like the fact that ontario’s are regressive. But that is probably too challenging a concept for our undereducated electorate.

Nearly two months after Trump publicly entertained the notion of a Diddy pardon in an Oval Office gaggle, a comprehensive get out of jail card for Combs is being “seriously considered,” an administration source tells Deadline.

With a damning verdict for the U.S. Attorney’s office for the Southern District of New York delivered by a federal jury on July 2 after an eight-week sex-trafficking trial, Combs escaped the most severe of the criminal charges he was facing. Even before the mixed verdict came in, Trump exclaimed on May 30 that when it came to a Diddy pardon, he “would certainly look at the facts if I think somebody was mistreated, whether they like me or don’t like me.”

He has that borderline "midget voice" that small people have, not quite but close enough. He gets really shrill and high-pitched when he gets excited.

He also says "foe-werd" instead of "forward" a very common native Queens/Nassau County pronunciation (see all three Meiselas brothers). It drives me as batty. Can he possibly be straight? Gurl!

He has good guests, I'll give him that.

I've been buying large California navel oranges at Kroger since May. The quality has diminished over the months. Today the oranges are imported from South Africa (with tariffs); they are smaller, less juicy and have no taste. I am wondering if the crackdown on agricultural immigrants has put us in this position; maybe our American products are dying in the fields? If so, how is this helping us?

Ten thousand steps per day has been widely recommended as the standard benchmark for physical activity — but a new study suggests that just 7000 could be enough to boost essential health markers.

Researchers from the University of Sydney conducted a review of 57 studies spanning more than 10 countries, which tracked participants’ steps and health outcomes.

Led by Professor Melody Ding from the School of Public Health, the team looked at how different daily step counts impacted the risk of dying from heart disease and cancer, as well as the risk of developing cancer, type 2 diabetes, dementia and depression, according to a university press release.

And it turns out, you may not need as many steps as was first thought.

Researchers found that walking at least 7000 steps a day was linked to improvement in eight major health outcomes, including heart disease, dementia and depressive symptoms.

“Any increase in daily steps, even modest ones like 4000 steps, delivers health benefits compared to very low activity levels,” Ding toldFox News.

“When possible, targeting around 7000 steps per day can substantially reduce risks for many chronic diseases and adverse health outcomes.

“Even small increases in step counts, such as increasing from 2000 to 4000 steps a day, are associated with significant health gain.”

Higher step counts beyond 7000 may add extra benefits, but the improvement rate slows, she noted.

The results were published in The Lancet Public Health journal.

I'm a casual fan of this comedy Youtube channel.

The reason I care about this is the duo sold their channel to a Defy Media for stock (assuming the company would go public someday and they would reap the rewards)

That never happened and Defy was liquidated in 2018, so while they collected salaries during that time (Padilla left over creative differences - who knows), they built up the channel that has 25 million subscribers and really didn't get a dime.

The channel was bought by a fellow Youtube channel - Mythical Entertainment, saving it from the trash bin in 2019.

The original founders bought the company back today. It isn't that you have to be a fan of Smosh - the humor is kind of juvenile - but it is a really nice story of how two kids who got screwed out of something they built, finally got it back.

An Illinois dad has been accused of killing his daughter-in-law execution style at a family wedding in front of a guest after she planned to divorce his son, according to the cops.

Roland Schmidt, 76, has been charged with the first-degree murder of Christine Moyer, 45, following the deadly shooting in the parking lot of a Marriott hotel in Schaumburg, located in the northwest suburbs of Chicago, local police said.

Schmidt and Moyer were attending a wedding at the hotel Friday night when the father-in-law followed Moyer outside the venue and shot her in the head, according to the cops.

Prosecutors said, per ABC 7 Chicago, Schmidt shot his daughter-in-law execution style while she was talking to another family member. Local outlets reported, citing prosecutors, the shooting was witnessed by several family members.

Target is ending a price matching policy that for 12 years allowed customers to request a price match if they found an identical item with a lower cost at competitors Amazon or Walmart.

The policy enabled a price match if shoppers could provide proof of the lower price within 14 days of their purchase. The product had to be identical in brand name, size, weight, color and model number, and had to be sold and fulfilled by Amazon or Walmart, according to the Target policy.

After July 28, customers will only be able to request a price match for products sold at either Target or Target.com, not competitors Amazon and Walmart, according to a Target spokesperson. The company said that it's ending price matching for products sold by the two rival retailers because "guests overwhelmingly price match Target and not other retailers."

Target introduced its competitor price match policy in 2013. At the time, former Target CEO and president Gregg Steinhafel said the policy provided "unbeatable value."

Other retailers that have price matching policies include Best Buy and Home Depot. Walmart also has a price matching policy, although it's for Walmart.com, not competitors.

Target's decision to end its price matching policy comes as the retailer is struggling to boost sales and store traffic. In its most recent earnings report released in May, the company reported a nearly 3% decline in sales during the first quarter compared to the same time last year.

At the time, Target CEO Brian Cornell said the retailer was navigating an "exceptionally challenging environment," citing declining consumer confidence and uncertainty around tariffs as some of the headwinds.

Other retailers are also facing challenges as consumers pull back on spending. The Conference Board Consumer Confidence Index, which tracks Americans' sentiment toward business and labor market conditions, fell 5.4 points in June, a sign consumers may be more cautious about the state of the economy.

LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Wallis Annenberg, the visionary Los Angeles philanthropist whose family name graces everything from a performing arts center in Beverly Hills to a wildlife crossing in Agoura Hills, has died. She was 86.

The Los Angeles Times said she was battling lung cancer.

She was heir to her father Walter Annenberg's publishing empire, which included TV Guide.

After he died in 2002, Wallis Annenberg took over as president and CEO of the Annenberg Foundation, which he founded in 1989 after selling TV Guide and assets to Rupert Murdoch.

She was also behind the $120 million donation that founded the Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism at USC back in 1993.

Eyewitness News reporter Rob McMillan was one of many who benefitted from that massive donation. He received his broadcast journalism degree after studying at USC shortly after the university received this generous gift.

But the generosity wouldn't end there. A $50 million donation allowed the construction of Wallis Annenberg Hall at USC more than a decade ago.

Her impact was also felt at K-12 schools in Los Angeles by way of a $53 million donation to the Los Angeles Metropolitan Project, which enhanced school reform.

She says Trump is obsessed with her. Well yes, but she's obviously obsessed with him too.

She says in the interview that she left the US for Ireland because she didn't want Trump to be so much a part of her reality anymore.

That's all she's been doing since she arrived in Ireland, is talk about Trump. Poor Rosie. It's like she has Trump OCD.

She also seems to be spending a lot of time in pubs drinking pints.

A New York tale, as old as time…our new Gilded Age.

I’ve seen him before.

Fifty years ago on July 24, 2975, actress Barbara Colby - newly cast in a main role on the upcoming CBS sitcom 'Phyllis' - was murdered outside an acting class in an unsolved shooting. Her clleague who was walking through the parking lot with her, also died from the shooting.

On July 24, 1975, Colby and acting colleague James Kiernan were walking to their car following an acting class in the Palms district of Los Angeles when they were shot inside a parking area. The murders occurred some time after the first three episodes of the upcoming TV series Phyllis had been filmed.

Colby was killed instantly, but Kiernan was able to describe the shooting to police before he died of his wounds. Kiernan said that he did not recognize the two men who shot them and that the shooting had occurred without warning or provocation. It was normal for Colby and classmates to congregate in the parking lot after acting class and talk. Kiernan told investigators they were approached by two black men in a light-colored van and were each shot once. Police said there was no attempt to rob the pair and concluded it was a random drive-by shooting or a targeted killing. The killers were never identified and the case remained an open cold case. Colby was separated from her husband Bob Levitt at the time, who was Ethel Merman's son. She left behind her mother and half-sister.

Colby had already filmed three episodes of 'Phyllis' that summer, as owner 'Julie Erksine' of the photo studio where Phyllis worked, and they all aired the first three weeks of September. Actress Liz Torres took over the role to replace Colby. By the end of season one, the character was written out of the series.

Years later, actress Cloris Leachman who starred as 'Phyllis', said she wanted to pay tribute to Colby at the very end of the third episode before the credits rolled. She said CBS would not allow it, and never acknowledged Colby's death to viewers. She claimed CBS didn't want to end a 30 minute sitcom with a 'sad' tribute.

I've noticed my 401(k) has been doing great lately. I don't have a ton of money and am not one of those people here who have multiple properties and a few million in assets. What I have is these Fidelity accounts and social security if it's still around when I retire in less than 10 years. With what I have at the moment, I should be okay. Not rich, but secure in a low-key way.

So my question is how I can protect myself now. Is there a way to remove risk at this point? Move money around so it isn't going to disappear if/when the economy and stock market take a dive under this administration?

Nowadays, so many events have a “VIP ticket” option. You’ll get some privileges like early seating, a glass of wine, whatever. Overall, you’re still a schmuck who paid extra for some stupid shit.

Turning Point USA’s Student Action Summit kicked off on Friday, and while the roster of buzzy speakers included conservative media heavyweights like Tucker Carlson and Fox News’ Laura Ingraham, it was Daily Wire’s Michael Knowles who walked away with one of the more bizarre viral moments from the Tampa, Florida conference.

From The Hill - Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth just found nearly a billion dollars — $934 million to be exact — hidden deep in the Pentagon couch cushions. That money was supposed to fund Sentinel, a $77.7 billion modernization project for America’s aging nuclear missile system. Instead, it’s being rerouted to a classified project.

But here’s what we know about that classified project, thanks to reporting from The New York Times: part of it is funding a personal, Qatar-backed Air Force One project for President Trump.

Yes, you heard that right. Remember that Boeing 747-8 plane that the Qatari royal family donated to Trump earlier this year, well, it’s now being retrofitted for the commander-in-chief. The Secretary of the Air Force estimates the job will cost “less than $400 million,” but aviation experts and engineers say that number is optimistic at best.

NBC News reported that the actual cost could climb north of $1 billion — possibly more — especially since the aircraft needs to be stripped nearly to the studs to install encrypted communications, harden defenses, and protect against cyber and physical threats.

It seems Pedro Pascal is not bigger than newly crowned BO prince David Corenswet.

French President Emmanuel Macron announced Thursday that France will recognize Palestine as a state, in a bold diplomatic move amid snowballing global anger over people starving in Gaza. Israel denounced the decision.

Macron said that he will formalize the decision at the United Nations General Assembly in September. “The urgent thing today is that the war in Gaza stops and the civilian population is saved,' he wrote.

France is now the biggest Western power to recognize Palestine, and the move could pave the way for other countries to do the same. More than 140 countries recognize a Palestinian state, including more than a dozen in Europe.

As in, maybe a sign of interest? I know a cute guy at work who is out and just happens to be single, but I'm not sure how he feels about me. We have a very playful relationship. He likes to joke with me a lot. He calls it "teasing," and he does it often. Sometimes, I'll think he's being serious about something, but then he'll look at me and say "I'm just fucking with you!" And then he'll laugh. I wonder if he really likes me? At work he's always trying to get my attention even going out of his way to talk to me. Our conversations are usually lighthearted because we like kid around with each other. I think we 0have great chemistry, but I also find myself overanalyzing when I'm alone. Dl, do you joke around with guys that you like? Can teasing be a form of flirting?

Seriously. Mentally ill, just trolling? I saw a clip of her on Faux saying how she loves watching YT videos of immigrants being dragged out of court hearings all while constantly blinking. The blinking indicates duplicity/lying to me. All of the female dumpers are this way. Morse code blinking.

What's the game? Attention or just mental illness.

Swish and gargle some for at least 30 seconds after you whores suck cocks.

Federal employees can display religious items at work, pray in groups while not on duty and encourage co-workers to adopt their faith, according to guidance released Monday by the Office of Personnel Management, which manages the federal civilian workforce.

WaPo, so can’t link

Why can’t I find a thread on this show? And I mean a proper thread - not a Lena Dunham thread that is only TOO MUCH adjacent.

Also, Megan Stalter is as awful here as she is on HACKS.

Many pharmaceutical products made in Europe will face a 15 percent tariff, pinching manufacturers and potentially leading to higher drug prices.

Jealous, bitches?

Ryan Coogler may be getting Denzel Washington for Black Panther but Eddie Murphy is The Pink Panther. As if Eddie Murphy weren’t already synonymous with iconic franchises, the veteran comic and actor revealed today that he’d soon be taking on the famed role of the Pink Panther.

Speaking to Today‘s Al Roker, Murphy said he had initially “planned on slowing down, and things just happened” with regard to his slate of upcoming projects.

“I’m getting ready to do a [biopic of] Bill Clinton, The Pickup star said. “I’ve already started Shrek 5. And I’m going to be — I’m Inspector Clouseau in the next Pink Panther.”

When Roker reacted with surprise, asking if the canonically French character would still be written as such with Murphy occupying the role, the Saturday Night Live alum responded coyly: “Maybe. Well, he has to be French, but he could also be Haitian. I will tell you, he’s Black. He’s Black, for sure.”

In 2017, I was at a crossroads. A lot of people I knew were dying, and I started thinking: You really don't know how many days you get or what's promised to you.

I figured I'd start traveling abroad. My company was kind enough to let me take a sabbatical while I sorted out my world. It turned out to be a mistake for them, because I decided I wasn't coming back.

Once I stepped out the door and visited places I had only dreamed of and ate food I had only read about, it was ridiculous to think I was going to go back to my "normal life."

[quote]A House Republican’s bill would strip former President Kennedy’s name from the Washington institution created in the 35th commander in chief’s honor and instead have it known as the “Trump Center for the Performing Arts.” The bill, recently introduced by Rep. Bob Onder (R-Mo.), aims to “designate the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts as the ‘Donald J. Trump Center for the Performing Arts.'”

[quote]Representatives for Onder and the Kennedy Center didn’t immediately return ITK’s request for comment about the proposed name change. In an earlier statement, Onder called Trump “a patron of the arts and a staple of the pop-culture landscape.”

[quote]Dubbing the bill the Make Entertainment Great Again (MEGA) Act, a play on Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign slogan, “Make America Great Again,” Onder said, “I cannot think of a more ubiquitous symbol of American exceptionalism in the arts, entertainment, and popular culture at large than President Trump.”

Post yours here for inspection pls

The actress Dame Joan Collins has decried the “invasion” of London by e-bikes and scooters, claiming that she had been “almost run over twice by Lime bikes”.

Collins, 92, said the capital was being “destroyed by the insidious antics” of its mayor, Sir Sadiq Khan, and blighted by graffiti and road closures.

She accused delivery riders on rental e-bikes of being the “most dangerous” road users given the sheer volume of deliveries they made in a day.

Writing a diary column in The Spectator, Collins said: “Several news outlets are reporting the surge in the dangerous crossings of immigrants coming to our shores, and the cost of giving them succour. But I’m seeing an invasion of a different sort: the proliferation of rental bikes and powered scooters that litter our pavements.

“I’ve recently been almost run over twice by ‘Lime bikes’ … Everyone I know has experienced the rudeness and sloppiness of most of these bike riders. They seem to care not for road rules, pedestrians, safety, or anyone but themselves. The bikes dart recklessly between vehicles.”

As well as almost being run over by Lime bikes, Collins, who has recently been filming The Bitter End, a film about the Duchess of Windsor Wallis Simpson’s latter days, said she has also “tripped over a bunch of discarded cycles on the streets of Belgravia”.

E-bikes are “dockless”, allowing users to park them in designated zones across the city. In some places the bikes can be left anywhere in a certain area, in others they have to be lined up in a parking bay. Lime asks users to park their bikes “neatly”, wherever they are left.

What if, Joe Biden were to tell Trump he’s right.

Lie, just say that he should have pursued legal action against Trump while in he was in office, but that he, like President Obama, were too short sighted by their deference for the office.

He could even fluff himself up and say he was too busy fixing the country after Fuckup #45 to put him in a jail cell with pool angled camera footage and missing minutes?

Come on Joe, get on tv, shed a few crocodile tears, maybe have a prayer circle(jerk) photo-op with Jill and Hunter? I think the former pillow guy now sells religious jewelry. Throw him a bone, get you some big ol’ chains with the OG J on’em, like SpokesBarbie.

This explains a few things.

Cunning. Shrewd. Cold. Bitch.

These are just a few of the names she has been called in her forty years of being in high fashion and journalism. Yet, to only classify her as a British Leona Helmsley would be misguided.

From a young age, she either worked in her father's publishing house or at magazines like Oz and Harper's Bazaar before landing the Editor-In-Chief position at Vogue.

I could have swore it was Pike but it seems like ever since the show started they want you to believe it is Kirk.

What's the deal???

Maybe there’s a retreat-to-attack strategy.

And this articles notes danger signs: “But Harvard’s decision to walk back its public commitment to DEI could prompt backlash among some students and faculty, who argue that promoting diversity should be a central tenet for the University — and who see recent changes as concessions to the Trump administration.”

Time has not been kind to him.

To be precise, it may not work if the goal is to promote child development.

“But now a rigorous experiment, in a more direct test, found that years of monthly payments did nothing to boost children’s well-being, a result that defied researchers’ predictions and could weaken the case for income guarantees.

After four years of payments, children whose parents received $333 a month from the experiment fared no better than similar children without that help, the study found. They were no more likely to develop language skills, avoid behavioral problems or developmental delays, demonstrate executive function or exhibit brain activity associated with cognitive development.”

David Archuleta gets up close and personal about his #queer journey in this special episode of Storytellers: Pride Edition.

The former #AmericanIdol finalist shares his unique perspective on discovering his #LGBT identity and how it differs from understanding his #Latino roots.

Tell me every last sordid detail you know on this topic.

Where is it most common?

Did you ever whore around?

He was very hot when young, and he still has a nice ripped body (as per "Watchmen"). He has the fruitiest posh accent ever (and I say that as a compliment), and though capable of subtlety when younger he is now pretty hammy.

Have there ever been rumors about him indulging in the homosex? He's been together with his wife Sinead Cusack for decades.

For Candice Lyall, cherry harvest is always a race against the clock. Eastern Washington is famous for its cherries, and there’s just a short window when they are the perfect ripeness. Wait too long and they are too soft for sale. And they must be picked by hand. Lots of them.

Finding those hands locally can be a challenge. Some of her workers are foreign-born. But this summer the harvest coincided with Donald Trump’s mass deportation sweeps. Rumors swirled of roadway checkpoints. More than 100 workers who started, dwindled to 30 by the second week.

“There's a lot of farms that didn't pick because they didn't have enough labor,” she said. Lyall is a Trump supporter in a conservative farming region. She favors stricter border security because of worries of drug cartels. But she wants to see a path toward a stable workforce.

I have engineered wood floors that I'm stuck with for the time being. I usually vacuum, then wet swift, but I can't stand the Fabreeze scent that seems to be in everything. Are the steam mops any good? I see a ton of them in thrift stores, so I wonder if they are a hassle or don't work well, any suggestions?

We're getting a William the Conqueror series this year, apparently. With two blond DL faves and lots of hot Vikings.

[quote]Lucas was previewing his long in development museum, the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art, which is set to open next year. At the panel, held on July 27 and moderated by Queen Latifah, Lucas called the museum “a temple to the people’s art.”

Dawson's gaped hole aside, there are gaping plot holes. Just one: If it is a weekend it's not a great feat of outrageous slutty nihilism. 25 loads a day? Maybe fewer if they started to load him on Friday night. I know cum dumps who routinely took 10 loads within a few hours at the sex clubs of Paris and Berlin in 2005, when this classic gay porn was shot.

Was bored, threw the show on just to have something in the background while did some chores. Next thing I know, I'm glued to the screen, totally transfixed. Watching on HBO, though I think it's airing elsewhere too.

Only thing I can't wrap my head around: how the hell were people holding up their phones filming all that chaos? I'd have dropped mine in pure terror.

I don’t for the life of me get his appeal. Tough guy? Winner with women? I see him as a mediocre FUG posing with what the studio gave him. Please explain.

Thanks!

And not add HBO to my bills. I can't afford it! But I want to see this and I haven't used one of those websites in about 3 years, so I don't know what's out there and where I can watch this.

Anyone?

Or he is fingering her. Or she’s giving him a 🤚J.

There are 10 gay celebrities wanting to get in! Whom would you choose?

How would you rank these classic brunette beauties?

the whole family gets nominated but not Chavez?

Was it because he came off cold in some interviews?

Was he resented because he has an Emmy.

A Daytime Emmy is STILL an Emmy.

What would your list consist of?
