A sister-in-law of former U.S. Sen. and Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney was found dead Friday night in a Valencia parking garage, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.

Authorities responded at about 8:30 p.m. Friday after receiving reports of someone dead inside the garage in the 24500 block of Town Center Drive in the community north of Los Angeles. The woman jumped or fell from a five-story parking structure and died at the scene, law enforcement sources told NBC4 Investigates.

The garage is near the Hyatt Regency hotel.

She was identified by the medical examiner's office as 64-year-old Carrie Elizabeth Romney. No cause of death was listed Monday afternoon.

The death does not appear to involve foul play, authorities said.

“Matlock" star David Del Rio has been kicked off the CBS show ... and it's due to some serious allegations, TMZ has learned.

A source with direct knowledge tells TMZ ... David was escorted off the Paramount lot last week as soon as the allegations were reported.

We hear the actor has been accused of sexually assaulting actress Leah Lewis on Paramount property.

His character Billy Martinez -- one of the main ensemble of the Kathy Bates-starring reboot -- will be immediately written off, CBS Studios confirmed. He's appeared in at least 20 episodes, counting the ones yet to air this season.

The series has a pre-planned hiatus in October and November upon completion of the first half of the season. "Matlock" Season 2 premieres Sunday on CBS.

We've reached out to CBS Studios for more information and a rep for David for comment ... so far, no word back.

Begins with anecdotes of DL faves like Ann Miller and Carole Channing...

Let me tell you about my Go Fud Me page and the Davissh-Sterling Pre-Lien Letter Act Law.

You never hear about her anymore. There was the time years ago that she snatched sexy Eddie Cibrian away from Brandi Glanville but quietly kept her career going switching from country to dance tracks. She burned out her vocal chords and suffered a bout with cervical displasia but came back last year with "Spaceship" a rather morbid but catchy track.

Keaton spoke about her eating disorder to Dr. Oz in 2014. “All I did was feed my hunger, so I am an addict,” she said. “It’s true. I’m an addict in recovery, I’ll always be an addict. I have an addictive nature to me.” She revealed that, during her battle with bulimia, she would eat up to 20,000 calories and then force herself to throw it up.

In her 20s, Keaton overcame basal cell carcinoma. Then, decades later, she was diagnosed with squamous cell cancer which took two surgeries to remove.

“It’s a family history,” she told the Los Angeles Times in 2015. “I remember my Auntie Martha had skin cancer so bad they removed her nose. My father had basal skin cancer and my brother had it. It’s tricky with this skin cancer. That’s why you’ve got to put the sunblock on.”

Why didn't Jason have more of a career?

A chilling case that has always haunted me, I hope this doc will lead to her family finding Amy.

Throughout her career, Keaton moved multiple times, developing a love of purchasing older homes, renovating them, and then selling them.

However, when she found her latest abode, she explained that it was the first time she had considered actually settling down for more than a few years.

Keaton spent a staggering eight years on a gut renovation of the home, which effectively saw her rebuilding it from the ground up, a process that she documented in her 2017 book, "The House That Pinterest Built."

Perhaps the ol Kath-ode ray was a bit ahead of her time?

Then again, she’d DEFINITELY still get fired today. I mean Matthew Dowd got fired for making a completely factual statement about Charlie Kirk.

Wall Street investors were taking Trump seriously in the wake of his initial threat of economic retaliation on Friday. Stocks sank after the president’s morning social media post. The Dow fell 879 points, or 1.9%. The broader S&P 500 dropped 2.71% and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite slid 3.56%.

Trump said Friday he would impose a 100 percent tariff on China “over and above any Tariff they are currently paying” effective November 1 – massively escalating his trade war amid a heated dispute over export controls on rare earths.

Who do you think killed her?

Why aren’t we discussing this fascinating case? Harvard Lawyer shot and killed in driveway by hit men hired by periodontist ex brother in law (just found guilty), and just arrested mother in law, and potentially his ex wife (also a lawyer).

I seem to remember some recent post mentioning one of the towns in NY where a guy at some particular bookstore or bath house with a truly giant cock could be seen.

Is anyone else struggling with the pervasive feeling that life will never get better or be good again? I know I need to Mary myself, but I don’t know how much longer I can live trying to convince myself that life at this point isn’t hopeless. Every day I watch the news and it’s nothing but vile people and their impunity being celebrated. It’s to a point that when I see a video of someone being genuinely good and kind to another I tear up. Ending it crosses my mind daily. Please help me with suggestions on how to fight this existential dread! I never imagined a perfect life, but one this dark is miserable.

Carry on, bitches.

Is there anything hotter on earth than a naked man?

The cast is overall better, and all of them are so fucking hot it’s insane. Like, all the guys and girls in Part 2 are hot. It’s the hottest cast of the franchise.

The acting is good. The suspense is good. And most of all the pacing is better. This one moves at a much better pace than the first, and is more fun.

Ginny is a much better final girl than Alice in every way.

Killing off Alice in the opening scene was great.

Freddy was at his best in this one, before the hockey mask and his running instead of just walking.

The one thing I noticed that was bizarre was they had one black guy in the group who was shown maybe two times with zero lines and then he’s never shown again.

Why was Italian Brenda (with a mobbed-up Uncle Carmine to boot) throwing her son a bar mitzvah?

They say that Annie lives in Connecticut, yet she's shown walking her whimpering dog down a Manhattan street.

She was horrible in Nell. In Silence of the Lambs, she always had the same facial expressions. The movie was all Anthony Hopkins. In The Accused which I watched recently for the first time, it's Kelly McGillis who was the better actress and who should have been nominated. Jodie was OK in that movie but I don't understand why she won two Oscars. Plus, she looks like a man with long hair.

This may be sacrilege, but I think in some ways I prefer it to the original. It has a darker aura than the first film, and the empty hospital setting is very creepy. It's very atmospheric. I think one of its few flaws is Jamie Lee's obscene wig.

Elderly man apparently had a seizure and does a perfect Dukes of Hazard over the Long Island Expressway.

She did a great job raising them.

Some US airports are refusing to play a video of Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem blaming Democrats for the federal government shutdown.

The video, first obtained by Fox News, is intended to play at security lines, with Noem stating, “It is TSA’s top priority to make sure that you have the most pleasant and efficient airport experience as possible while we keep you safe.”

She also says, “However, Democrats in Congress refuse to fund the federal government, and because of this, many of our operations are impacted, and most of our TSA employees are working without pay.”

I had to do it.

The common wisdom is that actually being in a healthy, loving relationship makes you look younger and happier. A certain glow everyone can see when they're the right one. And then there's these two travesties. *Not* aging well are they. Especially when compared to just seven months ago *before* they moved in together.

Meanwhile Professor Barnes is still looking fabulous at 76. I guess Tricia is actually a genuinely good woman. But their good luck clearly isn't passing on to Benny. Because Skeletor however. . . .

We must settle this once and for all. Is the man a closet mo. His marriages don’t seem to last very long. But I know lots of straight guys with short marriages because women are batshit crazy lol. I kid, of course. What’s the deal. Closeted? Bisexual? Asexual? Neurotic? He is so talented to me and so fkin good looking.

I never saw it - the previews seemed like a drag. And it was too muppety for me, back then. Maybe it was good, and I missed out?

Democrats took to the floor of the Texas House on Saturday to label a ban on clubs that support gay teens the work of “monsters” and to say the ban endangers children and strips them of their dignity.

The Democratic representatives grew emotional in opposition to a bill that would ban K-12 student clubs focused on sexuality and gender identity.

Senate Bill 12, authored by Sen. Brandon Creighton, won final legislative passage Saturday after lawmakers in both chambers adopted the conference committee reports that specifically clarified that schools will be banned from authorizing or sponsoring student clubs based on sexual orientation or gender identity.

Backers proclaimed that the bill enshrines a parent’s rights and puts the parent not just at the table, but at the head of the table where the child’s best interests are decided. They also targeted diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies, claiming that they project ideologies on students and put too much focus on race, sexuality and gender identity instead of the quality of education.

The contestants are annoying. Drew is not Bob, They have guy models now. Maybe I'm just old.

Hilaria Baldwin is two-stepping toward the haters.

Following her elimination last week from Dancing With the Stars, the 41-year-old shared why she believes she and her partner Gleb Savchenko were booted from season 34 of the competition series.

“I did get bullied off the show,” Hilaria said in an Oct. 12 Instagram Live, referring to the criticism she received online throughout her four weeks on DWTS. “I did, that’s for sure. That is for sure.”

[quote]Why (oh, why) is the press still interviewing Lindsey Graham? You know, the once-supposedly-moderate Republican senator from South Carolina who, after Donald Trump sent his supporters, many armed with real and makeshift weapons, to the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, declared that he was done (“Count me out. Enough is enough,” he said, also pointing out the lack of any evidence of voting fraud) and then who, quicker than most people can figure out the spelling of “sycophant,” became a Trump golf partner and one of his most reliable and eager lapdogs?

I always liked part 2, but most people hate this one but love the original and the third, with some even saying they watch the first and then skip the second to watch the third. Why?

I always liked it and never got the hate. I always hated Grady’s death and still do. He was an ass at first but later showed he was a good guy and he was hot as fuck. Freddy could have at least spared him for being a hottie.

I've been taking thrice weekly microdoses of psilocybin for the last four weeks, and it's been life-changing. I never feel "high", just markedly more patient, tolerant, peaceful, and grounded. No more road rage, deep political anxiety and anger, wanting to bitch slap my co-workers, or privately seething at my partner's annoying habits. It's also calmed my eczema and lessened my joint pain (apparently it's also anti-inflammatory), and really boosted my libido. Zero side-effects. It feels like it's healing my frazzled brain and body.

I firmly believe if all Americans were secretly dosed with this stuff we would be a far less polarized, anxious, and violent people.

Any other fellow shroomers here?

This woman is utterly clueless. Diana would be rolling over her in grave at this. You're a royal, not a reality star. Show some damn decorum for once.

Former Lostprophets singer Ian Watkins, who is currently imprisoned for multiple sex offenses and pedophilia crimes, was taken hostage by fellow inmates and brutally stabbed and beaten, according to The Mirror. He is reported to be fighting for his life.

The disgraced UK rocker is roughly 10 years into a 29-year sentence after pleading guilty to multiple counts of engaging in sex with minors. Among his many heinous charges was the attempted sexual assault of a baby.

Per The Mirror‘s report, the now 46-year-old Watkins was taken hostage on Saturday morning (August 5th) by three fellow prisoners who brutally beat and stabbed him. He was eventually freed by prison guards and treated in an ambulance outside HMP Wakefield prison, where he is serving his sentence.

The Mirror cites a source as saying, “He was found by officers after being held hostage and battered on Saturday morning. He’s in a life-threatening condition and there are fears he could die. If he survives, he’ll have been very lucky.”

A spokesperson for the prison stated, “Police are investigating an incident which took place on Saturday at HMP Wakefield. We are unable to comment further while the police investigate.”

Lostprophets hit it big with their 2004 sophomore album, Start Something, featuring the No. 1 alternative-rock single “Last Train Home.” The band broke up in 2013 in the wake of the horrific charges against Watkins, with the other members eventually forming the new band No Devotion with Thursday singer Geoff Rickly.

For those of us who can remember back to the '70s and '80s (for a start), let's talk about what it was like then: at first, pretty much magazines only, and maybe some 8mm "loops" that you could show on a home projector. Then gradually there were adult movie theaters that starting showing hardcore. So given the limited options, I know I personally was desperate for ANYTHING short of lesbian porn. Straight scenes, solos, less attractive men, whatever - as long as you could see a dick, that was all that mattered. And remember that you had to PAY for pretty much everything then. (And if you were young, money was probably tight.)

Moving on to the '80s when home video became dominant, I was still watching straight scenes, etc., because at first there wasn't that much content. And again - money (although you could rent videos at reasonable rate depending on where you lived.)

Now let's fast-forward through the '90s and '00s to the last 15 or 20 years, when of course the internet has become the main source of adult entertainment. I know for me personally, because of the fact that there is SO much readily available content out there that's either free or very inexpensive, I've become WAY pickier about what I'll watch. My big "hard pass" content now includes most straight scenes, solos, unattractive men, blurred or hidden faces, most kink, twink-only scenes, etc. I'm interested to know how my fellow eldergays' porn preferences have evolved.

He is over ten years younger than me but I don’t feel old. This guy is so fire 🔥.

According to a report by Rob Shuter of #ShuterScoop, the Latina star is “absolutely heartbroken” by the box office reception of her recent film release. Inside sources are calling it one of the toughest blows of her long career. Lopez is reportedly upset about the film not meeting box office expectations. The film was made on a $35 million budget and was expected to open to big numbers.

However, according to trade experts and industry projections, the film might open to a modest $1.5 to $2.5 million. Lopez was counting on the film to be her big Hollywood comeback as a lead actress after a supporting role in the 2024 sports film, Unstoppable.

Inside sources remarked, “She poured her soul into this. She thought it would be her A Star Is Born moment.”

Some gays think that getting rid of all trans is going to in any way make things better. It doesn't. You'd be very foolish to think that what Anita Bryant and Jerry Falwell preached isn't making a comeback - and it has to do with the fact that fundamentalism has not disappeared. It's grown more powerful, not less. Fundamentalists abhor trans, but they abhor gays along with them.

The enemy continues to win because they've successfully thrown a wedge in between our community, and they know it. And you're falling into their trap if you think that being anti-trans is getting you anywhere. You're being used as tools.

You may have heard about those emails from scammers who say they have nude photos of you and try to get you to pay money to prevent their release. For a long time, those emails were just that: scams. But now there’s a real threat. A new malware called Stealerium apparently knows when you’re viewing pornographic material in your browser and automatically takes snapshots of what you’re viewing and webcam photos of you in that moment. The malware then sends those recordings to cybercriminals who use them for blackmail. The Stealerium malware is spread via phishing emails that look deceptively genuine. The attackers disguise their emails as messages from reputable organizations (e.g., banks, streaming services, charities) and encourage recipients to open attachments or click on links. These phishing emails take the usual scare tactics, generating a sense of urgency with subject lines “Payment Due,” “Court Summons,” and “Donation Invoice.” When you open said emails, the hope is you’re so alarmed that you’ve let down your guard, making it more likely that you’ll download attachments and/or click malicious links and buttons. What makes Stealerium even more worrying is that its source code has been freely available on the internet via GitHub for years, allegedly for educational purposes. However, it’s only in recent months that Stealerium has been increasingly used in real-world attacks. How the Stealerium malware works Once infected, Stealerium exhaustively searches the PC for sensitive data, including passwords, credit card information, chat logs, and cryptocurrency accounts. Stealerium also monitors browser windows and recognizes certain keywords that you type. With that latter function, Stealerium can recognize porn activity by detecting entries such as “porn” or “sex.” As soon as such content is detected, Stealerium takes screenshots of the content as well as photo snapshots using a webcam (if available). These files are then sent to the perpetrators via services like Discord, Telegram, or email.

Despite her career reaching a peak in 1989 , I’ve always found her albums before “Nick of Time” to be her best. Like Stephen King. I think Raitt was really cooking when she was under the influence.

When she finally hit mainstream fame, she resolutely would not sing her older songs which kinda sucks. I love the songs “Streetlights”, “Goin’ Wild for You Baby”, “Under the Falling Sky”, “Cry Like a Rainstorm, Howl Like the Wind”, “Give It Up or Let Me Go”, “Walk Out the Front Door”…

She and Linda Ronstadt covered a lot of the same songs.

Airports in more than a half-dozen U.S. markets have declined to display a video in which Homeland Security Secretary Kristi L. Noem blames congressional Democrats for the government shutdown and any related travel delays, citing the political nature of its content, according to local authorities. Officials that oversee airports serving Buffalo, Charlotte, Cleveland, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Seattle and Portland, Oregon, said the video could violate internal policies that bar political messaging or contravene state or federal laws that prohibit the use of public resources for political activity. “We believe the Hatch Act clearly prohibits use of public assets for political purposes and messaging,” said Molly Prescott, a spokesperson for the Port of Portland, which operates Portland International Airport. Enacted in 1939, the Hatch Act bars federal employees from engaging in politics while on the job and is meant to ensure that federal programs are administered in a nonpartisan fashion. Oregon law also precludes public employees from promoting or opposing political parties during working hours, Prescott said, noting: “This is the first time to our knowledge that the Port has declined to play a video.”

Madonna is hailed as one of the wealthiest self-made women in the world. While many might expect the Queen of Pop to leave her massive fortune to her kids, it seems that may not happen. According to a source, the 67-year-old may leave her personal fortune to Jewish mysticism, which is close to her heart and has greatly influenced her life in many ways.

Madonna’s kids see her potential plans for her massive fortune as ‘betrayal,’ claims source

Madonna reportedly has a massive fortune of $850 million. However, instead of leaving it to her children, Lourdes, Rocco, David, Mercy, Stella, and Estere, the singer plans to leave her personal fortune to the Kabbalah movement, which has helped her in many ways. “She believes Kabbalah saved her soul,” one confidant shared to #ShuterScoop. “It gave her strength through fame, heartbreak, and health scares. To Madonna, this is her way of giving thanks.”

The record producer “sees her fortune as a way to ensure Kabbalah thrives after she’s gone.” However, it seems her six children are not very receptive to her thoughts. According to the insider, the singer’s decision has “shaken” her children. All her kids “love her, but this feels like a betrayal,” claimed another insider.

This will not be the first time the global icon has supported the movement. As per the Kabbalah official site, the Hollywood icon “has been a dedicated student of Kabbalah with The Kabbalah Centre for 29 years.” She has been “studying with her teacher Eitan Yardeni under the leadership of Rav Berg.”

The actress reportedly joined the centre in 1996. According to a 2011 Newsweek article, the philanthropist has allegedly donated at least $18 million of her personal fortune to the center up to that point.

To spread the word, Madonna has recently debuted a new Kabbalah Master Class, “The Mystical Studies of the Zohar.” “Studying from the Zohar and learning Kabbalah’s teachings are pathways to becoming a happier human being,” she said about her class.

Woody Allen paid to his former muse and ex Diane Keaton, saying it's a 'drearier world' without her.

The 89-year-old filmmaker penned an emotional essay for The Free Press honoring Keaton after her death on Saturday. The beloved actress was 79.

“It’s grammatically incorrect to say’ most unique,’ but all rules of grammar, and I guess anything else, are suspended when talking about Diane Keaton,” Allen began. “Unlike anyone the planet has experienced or is unlikely to ever see again, her face and laugh illuminated any space she entered.”

The myth of George Washington's wooden chompers is as enduring as the tall tale of the time the young future president chopped down a cherry tree and came clean about his crime. It's also just as false.

In fact, Washington had multiple sets of dentures, and they were made of ivory, metal alloys and — most disturbingly — the teeth of other humans, quite possibly slaves. According to the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association, Washington's documents show that he purchased toothbrushes and tooth powders beginning at least in his early 20s, but to no avail. His first tooth was pulled in 1756, when he was just 24. By 1781, Washington was wearing partial dentures, and by 1789, he had only one tooth left in his mouth. That year, he started wearing full sets of dentures made from ivory and human teeth.

These teeth were quite possibly purchased at cut-rate prices from slaves or, in the very best case, from desperately poor people, said Kathryn Gehred, a research specialist at the University of Virginia who has written about Washington's teeth.

Politics Exclusive Illegal crossings along U.S.-Mexico border plummet to lowest annual level since 1970 By Camilo Montoya-Galvez Updated on: October 6, 2025 / 11:06 PM EDT / CBS News

Unlawful crossings along the U.S.-Mexico border in fiscal year 2025 plummeted to the lowest annual level since the early 1970s, amid the Trump administration's sweeping clampdown on illegal immigration, internal federal statistics obtained by CBS News show.

U.S. Border Patrol agents recorded nearly 238,000 apprehensions of migrants crossing the southern border illegally in fiscal year 2025, which began in October of last year and ended on Sept. 30, according to the preliminary Department of Homeland Security data, which has not been previously reported.

The number is the lowest annual tally recorded by Border Patrol since fiscal year 1970, when the agency reported roughly 202,000 apprehensions along the U.S.-Mexico border, historical figures indicate.

Photos of a young Hillary Clinton have gone viral online, with many netizens comparing her to Sydney Sweeney. Fans have since taken to social media to point out the unexpected resemblance.

Hillary Clinton dedicated a heartfelt X (formerly Twitter) post to her husband, former US President Bill Clinton, to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary. The former Secretary of State shared a string of throwback photos, offering a glimpse into the early days of their courtship and marriage. The frames capture the notable pair in their early 20s, looking glamorous and in love.

Soon after the vintage shots hit the internet, fans noticed a similarity between Sydney Sweeney and a young Hillary Clinton.

Republicans have tried more than 70 times over the past 15 years to weaken or kill Obamacare. But their campaign keeps backfiring.

The sweeping tax and spending bill Donald Trump signed this summer got his party closer to that goal than ever before. Though never marketed as a repeal, it unraveled much of the law and is expected to eventually push millions of people who gained insurance since the Affordable Care Act’s passage, off the rolls.

As the government shutdown stretches into its second week, the White House and a growing number of congressional Republicans are worried that Democrats’ demand to boost Obamacare as part of any bill to reopen the government is proving salient with voters - including their own.

On paper, Jon Ossoff has plenty of reasons to break party ranks as the government shutdown drags into a third week: The 38-year-old Georgian is the most vulnerable Senate Democrat up for re-election next year and his home state has more than 81,000 federal workers at risk for furloughs and firings.

In reality, Ossoff is sticking closely to his party’s strategy of trying to reframe the shutdown fight as a battle over health care — and has emerged as an object lesson in the limits of Republican efforts to focus pressure on the Democrats’ soft spots.

Conservative advocacy group Turning Point USA has announced a counter program halftime show that will be held during next year's official Super Bowl LX halftime show.

The nonprofit, founded by the late activist Charlie Kirk, who was killed during a public speaking event on Sept. 10, revealed this week that its counter program show would run opposite the NFL's Super Bowl LX halftime show at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California, on Feb. 8 and will be called The All American Halftime Show.

Last month, the NFL announced Bad Bunny as the 2026 Super Bowl LX Apple Music Super Bowl Halftime Show performer.

I'll start. I hate it when characters die and are brought back to life by some form of magic. It's been a constant especially in sci-fi and horror films. It kills the suspense because what it means is no one is at risk.

I’m coming down with something. Oddly today, everywhere I’ve gotten a needle stick in the last few weeks has hurt: covid shot (shoulder), flu shot (shoulder) , 2 Repatha anti-cholesterol shots in both thighs,

How odd.

Currently I’m drugged on Advil to help ward this away

I know this is a perennial topic on DL.

I recently befriended a woman in her mid-60s who is attractive, vivacious, educated, intelligent ... and as I've gotten to know her, I'm increasingly convinced there is something very off about the way she relates to other people. She has also been married twice and both marriages ended disastrously, with allegations of abuse. She is also (probably) an alcoholic. She tends to befriend gay men, in part, I think, because she cannot maintain friendships with other women. I could go on, but she exhibits other classic "borderline" behaviors.

Anyway, tell me your stories, DL. Ultimately, how does one deal with this kind of -- for lack of a better term -- crazy?

I was about 19 when I was reading him on my own and finally getting it and enjoying it. It always helps to have a book where some of the more muddled language or antiquated allusions are deciphered right next to the corresponding line.

My breakthrough play was “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” which I found myself laughing through and needing textual help less and less. True, it’s not one of his more complex works. But I also feel Act V maybe extends the story a little too long as things are pretty much wrapped up at the end of Act IV.

What are some of your favorites? How many people have you corrected when they say they don’t like Shakespeare as they hate “Old English”? Why are we always taught “Julius Caesar” when it’s dry as dust and not “Measure for Measure” when the guy wants to fuck a nun?

Is she fully right wing now? She had no words on Trump. While hee stance on trans has some points it seems to have consumed her.

Saw the Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre’s production of Fiddler. directed by Jordan Fein, playing in Dublin over the weekend. Enjoyable, terrific singing and acting and enthusiastically received by the Irish audience. Anyone here seen it?

I searched but didn’t see a new thread.

Got another Wordle in 2. Third one this week. The Bot gave me an 85.

How do I stop auto renewal of Datalounge?

I'm a Leann Rimes fan but am not sure about her acting. I hope Eddie is on set all the time. The actor playing her son is hot.

Seriously I just did!

Dreamt I ran into DeWitt in some crappy supermarket in my town that closed 20 years ago.

She didn't have the silver fox hair but rather the hair from her last appearance on Three's just with more grey highlights. She seemed annoyed I recognized her but I was persistent and even agreed to a selfie when I offered to take her groceries out to her car.

I asked why she was in town and she said she was interviewing a nanny (Joyce has kids?) and was opening her very own Walk of Fame in my town. I did mention Datalounge to her and she promised to research it once she got home.

When we got to her car, a beat up station wagon...maroon, I loaded up her groceries. A new coffee pot in one bag. The nanny was in the car and was very appreciative when I suggested they could get more bang for their buck at the Kroger about 5 miles down the road. Joyce liked the idea of fuel points...she's very economical after all!

She still seemed annoyed and attempted to drive off before I could get my selfie with her but relented when I leaned up against her door.

Then I woke up and here I am typing at 4:55am.

A Texas student is opening up about her “worst nightmare coming to reality” after a phony social media post claiming she worked as an Olive Garden waitress and was arrested after throwing breadsticks at customers went viral.

A dramatic story of a 26-year-old Olive Garden waitress in St. Louis, Missouri, who supposedly hurled a basket of breadsticks at a couple after they stiffed her on a tip and yelled out “Unlimited breadsticks doesn’t mean unlimited free labor!” recently took off on social media.

While it makes for an incredible story, none of it is real — except for the teary-eyed mugshot of a young blonde woman that was shared alongside it.

The whole airport literally could have gone off like a bomb!!!

What an idiot.

Suzanne Somers widower has found love again, nearly two years after his beloved wife’s passing. Alan Hamel was married to Somers for 46 years before she died from breast cancer in 2023.

Hamel who turns 89 next week is now dating Joanna Cassidy, Somer’s co-star in the 1985 mini-series ‘Hollywood Wives,’ Page Six has confirmed after the two were spotted arm in arm in Malibu, Ca.

I received a summons for jury duty and I need your best tricks to get out of it.

Normally, I would just deal with it but I live in NYC and I just did civil court two years ago. Apparently in NY, civil court and criminal court are separate and they can waste your time with both.

Additionally, the jurors in New York are morons. There is always one bleeding heart woman who believes if the rapist is given a second chance out of custody he’ll straighten up. And then there’s the population who don’t believe anything the police say so they don’t bother listening to police testimony.

Starts tonight (Sept 25). Kyland and other hunky BB contestants from the past few seasons are participating. Who's watching this season ?

I have nothing against a heavy advertising campaign and a bit of product placement, but this second installment of Wicked is really going over the top. I just saw a commercial for Secret deodorant-with Wicked scents. Le Creuset is selling Wicked-themed cooking pots! At this point I am taking this as a sign: the film stinks and you need some pot to get through it.

What other Wickedness is creeping into ads and products?

I won’t link to the article, it’s behind a paywall and in any case, that sewer is probably the only American site that would publish him.

Woody Allen:

It’s grammatically incorrect to say “most unique,” but all rules of grammar, and I guess anything else, are suspended when talking about Diane Keaton. Unlike anyone the planet has experienced or is unlikely to ever see again, her face and laugh illuminated any space she entered.

I first laid eyes on her lanky beauty at an audition and thought, If Huckleberry Finn was a gorgeous young woman, he’d be Keaton. Fresh out of Orange County, she flew to Manhattan to act, got a job as a coat check girl, and was hired for a small part in the musical Hair, in which she eventually had the lead.

Meanwhile, David Merrick and I were auditioning actresses in the Morosco Theatre for my play Play It Again, Sam. Sandy Meisner taught an acting class and told Merrick about an up-and-coming actress who was amazing. She came in and read for us and knocked us both for a loop.

A small glitch was that she appeared to be taller than me, and we didn't want that to figure in the jokes. Like two schoolkids, we stood back-to-back on the stage of the Morosco and measured. Fortunately we were the same height, and Merrick hired her.

For the first week of rehearsal we never spoke a word to one another. She was shy, I was shy, and with two shy people things can get pretty dull. Finally, by chance we took a break at the same moment and wound up sharing a fast bite at some Eighth Avenue joint. That was our first moment of personal contact. The upshot is that she was so charming, so beautiful, so magical, that I questioned my sanity. I thought: Could I be in love so quickly?

By the time the show opened in Washington, D.C., we were lovers. About then, I showed her my first film privately and prepared her for what a mess it was, how awful, a total failure. She sat through Take the Money and Run and said the movie was very funny and very original. Her words.

Her words. Its success proved her correct and I never doubted her judgment again. I showed her every film I made after that and grew to care only about her appraisals.

As time went on I made movies for an audience of one, Diane Keaton. I never read a single review of my work and cared only what Keaton had to say about it. If she liked it, I counted the film as an artistic success.

If she was less than enthusiastic, I tried to use her criticism to reedit and come away with something she felt better about. By then we were living together and I was seeing the world through her eyes. She had huge talent for comedies and drama, but she could also dance and sing with feeling.

She also wrote books and did photography, made collages, decorated homes, and directed films. Finally, she was a million laughs to be around.

For all her shyness and self-effacing personality, she was totally secure in her own aesthetic judgment.

Whether she was criticizing a movie of mine or a play of Shakespeare's, she held both to the same If she felt Shakespeare had gone wrong—it didn't matter who or how many sang his praises, it was her own feeling that she went with, and she didn't hesitate to put the knock on the Bard.

Her fashion sense was a sight to behold, of course. Her sartorial concoctions rivaled the contraptions of Rube Goldberg. She put together clothing that defied logic but always worked. In later years, her look became more elegant.

Watching it now. God, that very first b/w shot of her is so amazing. Not her first single but her first big hit, the song that really got her noticed everywhere. “Lucky Star” was rereleased after this became a hit.

Who plays her Latino bf in this video? He looks quite short.

Whatever happened to the woman with the crimped hair?

Does that area of LA still look the same?

Does anyone know whatever happened to HKN? The crazy lady who was convinced that Kristin Stewart and Rob Pattinson were secretly married, apparently cherishing this absurd delusion because she took shipping the “Twilight” actors to the NEXT NEXT level?

She and a band of devoted flyover followers chattered incessantly about it. They would block you instantly if they determined you were a “dipshidiot,” that is, someone who doubted the conspiracy theory.

One thing I agreed with her on — she was a solid liberal politically. Which shocked the hell out of me.

Whatever happened to her? I know she had health issues. AFAIK she’s been silent since 2021.

Grindr has become infested with what i assume are AI-driven scams.

According to the Gaylor reddit, there is a theory that Travis has a long-time roommate called Ross Travis and this is why his older brother allegedly was so defensive when someone called Travis a fag-slur and threw the slurers' phone on the ground. Think about it. Travis Kelce's brother = wife + 4 children. Travis Kelce himself = fashionista with lesbian PR beard + 0 children. Do you think this theory is true? See linked link for theory. I imagine now how they first met: "Heya my surename is your first name ha!".

Was reading about Edward Platt from Get Smart...he killed himself but his family initially told the media he died from a "heart attack"

Wonder how many of these guys who "had a heart attack" or "died suddenly" or "passed away from an undisclosed illness" actually died from suicide, drugs, alcohol, AIDS, or whatever but the friends and family lied about it?

His body was found 14 years later.

The reviews are in. I'm going to read it.

"This account of her campaign is fascinating, although not always for the reasons she intends. It is an odd mixture of grievance, justification and self-aggrandisement, with a large dollop of accidental self-parody ... It is also thrillingly catty ... This memoir is a monument to Biden’s failures and Harris’s too, even if the latter are mostly omitted." SUNDAY TIMES (UK)

"I don’t know if Harris found writing 107 Days cathartic, but reading it certainly wasn’t. Instead, the book, which unfolds in strictly chronological order, is a frustrating slog. It seems likely to alienate her critics further and provides no closure or hope for her supporters ... Which isn’t to say there aren’t some real insights ... But while Harris doesn’t refrain from criticising Biden, she doesn’t go full-throttle either, remaining guarded on some of the key questions that still trouble people ... As for any Harris supporters hoping 107 Days might bring closure or optimism, they will also be sorely disappointed." GUARDIAN (UK)

"Taut, often eye-opening ... A thread running throughout is one of bitterness toward Biden’s inner circle, whom Harris felt had been poisoning the well since she first took office ... Does an excellent job of conveying the difficulty of seeking — and occupying — high office, and suggests that if she’d won, Harris’ resilience and ambition would have served her well as the leader of the free world. Many of her insights are astute, though occasionally tinged with rancor ... the brilliant, charismatic woman who came close to breaking the ultimate glass ceiling has given us an essential portrait of an unforgettable turning point in her journey, but 107 Days is mainly absent the perspective and blueprint for going forward that so many of us hunger for. A few years out, that wisdom may come." THE LOS ANGELES TIMES

"More than one in four (28 percent) men under the age of 30 reported having no close social connections."

Other studies show about 10% of all Americans have no close friends.

How many close friends do you have?

Stocking and re-stocking food can feel like an endless chore of provisioning your pantry and refrigerator. And there’s perhaps nothing worse than tossing a wilted bunch of greens or a grey-hued container of burger meat, knowing you spent money on the ingredient and will be wasting the food.

But food safety is important, and tossing potentially hazardous food is essential to keeping yourself and anyone you’re feeding safe.

Is this some sort of SOP with contract boilerplate that studios use for high name recognition actors or those with high box office or critical praise? Or is this yet another example of Reynolds-Lively hubris? I'm thinking it's the latter.

[QUOTE]In the proposed contract, Lively would have been paid $100,000 for an Academy Award nomination and $200,000 for a win, to be capped at $200,000 total. Lively would have been paid $75,000 for Golden Globe nomination and $100,000 for a win, and $50,000 for a SAG Award nomination and $75,000 for a win.

If it's SOP, I assume it's not to elicit great performances, but to insure actors comply with awards lobbying. Can you see the snotty, condescending Lively campaigning for an award? She'd make JLC look demure and reticent.

Told you I was hardcore! And I warned you about the homework!

Omg this looks so good

TCM airs 1959's "Anatomy of a Murder" tonight at 11:30 p.m./ET as part of an evening-long tribute to director Otto Preminger. This then-daring courtroom drama may still raise a few eyebrows, based on an actual event in Upper MI, my neck of the woods! Otto insisted on filming "Anatomy" entirely on location, a first. He also cast a famous judge as one, and giving composer Duke Ellington an on-screen role. Great cast includes James Stewart, Lee Remick, Ben Gazzara, George C. Scott, Eve Arden and more. My look at this intriguing courtroom drama:

I find it interesting that both films were utterly trounced by Taylor Swift.

Smashing Machine outright BOMBED- frankly I am glad as its well known that The fucking Rock is late as fuck all the time to every fucking set he works on- Doesn't give a FUCK about anyone and is overindulged. So fuck him.

I really thought that OBAA would go to Oscar glory, but its box office is very disappointing.

I wonder what other films may come along and get Box office and Oscar recognition-

I've said all long that Sinners does not have a fucking chance to win-- I'm starting to rethink that- Wasn't it a massive hit?

Only one cousin is in a position of power — and his family can only watch helplessly as he destroys much that they stood for.

by Reeves Wiedeman, New York Magazine published August 25, 2025

Ethel Kennedy’s death in October at 96 was the end of a trying few years. Her health had been in decline, and she had confined herself to living full time in Hyannis, the longtime family compound on Cape Cod. In the summer of 2024, her immune system was so compromised that she couldn’t attend the wedding of her granddaughter Mariah Kennedy Cuomo, even though it was being held at her home. “Normally, Ethel would be a part of everything,” one attendee said. “But all she could do was sit on this enclosed balcony and wave at people.”

Ethel’s son Bobby was there, too, although many of the other wedding guests weren’t in a mood to talk to him. Ethel’s relationship with her third child, named for her beloved husband, had always been tempestuous. When Bobby was a young man, she regularly threw him out of the house for drug use and other chaotic behavior; when he was 13, a coatimundi he kept as a pet attacked Ethel and sent her into premature labor with his brother Douglas. In high school, after Ethel excoriated him for getting arrested for marijuana possession in Hyannis, he packed up and drove west without telling anyone in his family where he was going, eventually selling his car and hopping freight trains. Bobby seemed to relish the chance to break away from his family and ride the rails with the other vagabonds. “I could be one of them,” he said later. “And not be a Kennedy.”

Bobby and Ethel eventually made amends. He got sober, and Ethel became a booster of his environmental work. Bobby similarly came to appreciate his mother, writing in his 2018 memoir, American Values: Lessons I Learned From My Family, that her “sharp rebukes no longer trouble me.” That comment goes some way to explaining why Bobby was undaunted by any reservations Ethel had to his plans, announced in the spring of 2023, to challenge Joe Biden for the Democratic presidential nomination.

Ethel never spoke publicly about her son’s campaign, but everyone saw the effect it had. “The one who was brokenhearted — and the family won’t talk about it, but I saw it up close — was Ethel,” a longtime family friend said. She had devoted her life to supporting the Democratic Party, which RFK Jr. was now undermining with his insurgent, conspiracy-riddled, anti-government candidacy. Just a week before Bobby announced his run, President Biden, who had been close to the Kennedys for decades and kept a bust of Ethel’s husband, Robert F. Kennedy Sr., in the Oval Office, had called Ethel from Air Force One to wish her a happy 95th birthday, as he did every year, while flying to Belfast with her grandson Joe Kennedy III, who was serving as his special envoy to Northern Ireland. When Bobby made his candidacy public, Ethel called Biden to apologize for her wayward son. “You don’t have to,” Biden said. “I know about these things.”

Reports now appear to confirm that Allen has purchased the house was that featured in his 2008 film "Vicky Cristina Barcelona". The house was used as film location for the family home of Patricia Clarkson's character, and off-camera was Allen's home and office for the filming. The house was listed for sale in late spring for €25 million, the sale concluded in September (purchase prices are not public information in Spain.)

The house combinesd aspects of Catalan Modernism with historicism, drawing from vernacular Catalan farmhouse models. The house is in the barrio Puxtet, a posh bit of Gràcia, with some private enclaves. Gràcia is at the upper/northern part of the city, just above the Eixample district. The architect was Enric Sagnier i Villavecchia, marqués de Sagnier. The house sits on a plot of 1600m2 including walled garden and swimming pool, and the building itself is1100m2 (nearly 12,000 square feet). There is a salon of 74m2, 7 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms, and one floor given over to a principal bedroom suite.

Initial reports of Allen's purchase were vague, saying that he had bought a house of a certain size and date and architect. Later reports turned decisive in saying that he had bought the house he had used in filming 7 years ago. [First article references Allen's use of the house in 2008 but was written before the sale was concluded.]

Donald Trump got his COVID booster shot Friday night while Robert F. Kennedy Jr., America’s most famous anti-vaxxer and the HHS Secretary, restricts Americans’ access to the vaccine he hates.

During a “routine annual checkup” at Walter Reed Medical Center—Trump’s second of 2025—Trump received a report of gushing awe from White House physician Dr. Sean Barbarella, who claimed the president had the heart of a man “14 years younger” than Trump’s actual age (which is 79). Trump also received two shots: an annual flu shot and the COVID-19 booster.

Trump and/or his outstanding cabinet put themselves openly and without restrictions in front of the TV cameras to answer any and all questions on a daily basis. EVERY FREAKIN DAY HE'S ANSWERING QUESTIONS!!! Biden put himself in front of cameras a grand total of 7 times in his 4 failed years - answered pre-approved scripted questions only from pre-approved press. PULEEEEEZE. You have no argument.

Stephanie "Tanqueray" Johnson has died after a massive stroke (according to the HONY Facebook page).

Her story, told over several posts in Humans of New York, made her famous, and a book about her life followed.

No news link posted yet but here's a collection of some of the posts telling her story. It was quite something.

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?

He attended Mistr’s PReP party.

SHAME!

Let's discuss Big Dick Face - BDF.

Some Icebreakers:

Does BDF even exist?

What specific traits on a face read as BDF?

Or, is BDF a subtle accumulation of traits, and quite variable? It cannot be reduced to a specific formula.

Do you have accurate BDF radar? If so, how did you acquire it? Field work? (sluts!) Extension course?

After a verificatia of tremendous size meat, does any face "transform" into an example of BDF? Does Hunter Biden have BDF, or just a big dick? Did Porfirio Rubirosa have a BDF to match his celebrated dong?

Does BDF radar work equally well on all ethnicities? I had two Chinese fuckbuddies with 8+ inches, and thick! I wouldn't know the indicators for Asian BDF. I suppose Chinese gay sluts could have such radar.

Can you predict BBC on a black man's face? Latino BDF?

I saw "Two Thousand Maniacs!" as a kid and I don't think I really grasped much of it aside from the silly gore gags. The only part I remembered was a woman getting crushed by a boulder. I rewatched it over the weekend for the first time in decades, and was pleasantly surprised. Very surreal and loaded with social commentary. The twist ending where it is revealed that the whole town were ghosts was quite clever (and apparently inspired by the musical "Brigadoon").

…..

Ilyasah Shabazz didn’t want to look at the AI-generated videos of her father, Malcolm X. The seemingly realistic clips - made by OpenAI’s new video-maker Sora 2 - show the legendary civil rights activist making crude jokes, wrestling with the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and talking about defecating on himself.

Sora’s speed and uncanny realism has helped rocket the app to the top of the download charts, and videos reanimating the dead have been among its most viral clips. Sora-produced videos of Michael Jackson, Elvis Presley and Amy Winehouse have flooded social media platforms, with many viewers saying they struggle to tell whether the videos are real or fake.

It wasn't like this in the seventies.

IBB has been wonky at best for months. It rarely works.

Finally, a journalist gets some balls. This is how it's done. Stephanopolous asked JD Vance about the Tom Homan bribery incident, and instead of answering the question, Vance went on a MAGA talking point rant. George was not having it, so he cut the dickhead off and moved along.

And look at Vance's ego-filled, audacious statement to Stephanopolous:

[quote] Here's, George, why fewer and fewer people watch your program and why you're losing credibility, because you're talking for now 5 minutes with the Vice President of the United States about this.

Madonna's unheralded 1994 masterpiece "Bedtime Stories" is getting a reissue with unreleased tracks and demos. It is the last Madonna CD I enjoyed start-to-finish. Somehow "Ray of Light" managed to eclipse this one with Grammys and critical acclaim even through the title track "Bedtime Story" is the sonic blueprint for -- and better than anything on -- ROL. "Bedtime Stories" featured the longest running No.1 pop hit of Madge's career, "Take A Bow" and it is not even the best track on the CD. Some say this album was inspired by Dallas Austin's work on Joi Gilliam's "The Pendulum Vibe" CD. I think this was Madonna's most accessible record of the 90s but it came right after that awful "Sex" book; radio was shutting her down and the Grammys were shutting her out. She cancelled the support tour so she could do "Evita" (blech!)

Some really outstanding album cuts on this one. "Love Tried To Welcome Me" is probably my favorite Madonna ballad...and she has recorded many beautiful ballads. It is considered an under-achiever in sales but her fans love it. Glad it is getting a reissue.

Omg

Ugh! Justin you can do so much better.

Looking forward to this! I enjoy Gibney’s work. The History Of The Eagles had some very memorable DL threads.

Lovers of Anthony's giant ass. Apparently he's been talked about on DL before, but I just discovered him. What's your favorite pic of him and his plump ass?

The lard saga continues into its fifth year.

Though Hasselbeck praised Behar in her videos about O'Donnell, she made headlines in January for calling the comedian out over her thoughts about Carrie Underwood performing at Donald Trump's inauguration.

"Joy — @carrieunderwood is an INCREDIBLE WOMAN. You could learn from her strength," Hasselbeck wrote on X.

Hasselbeck has made subsequent appearances on The View since her departure from the permanent panel, including as a guest cohost in 2022, and again as a guest for Barbara Walters' tribute episode in January 2023 after the co-creator died the previous month.

O'Donnell spoke out against Hasselbeck's 2022 spot on the show, saying that it reminded her of "why I don't wanna watch it with her anymore."

We haven't had a thread to talk broadly about British shows and/or the PBS or Britbox viewings of them in the US for a while.

Starting off with something that apparently happened a few months ago....the sexy guy that played Spiros on The Durrells has been ACCUSED! of sexual harassment/assault/rape. (He was serving as a rep in EU parliament.)

The 39-year-old model recalled making an appearance on season 2 of the Duchess of Sussex's Netflix series, With Love, Meghan, and their friendship since.

"I adore her," Teigen said of Meghan, 44. "I really adore her. I think she is so incredibly strong."

"It is insane to me how polarizing she is for so many different people, when she really is just such a kind, good person that wants the best for all her friends and the best for people around her, and the best for her own relationship and for her children," she added.

Saturday marks Day 11 in the government shutdown, with seemingly no end in sight.

Vice President JD Vance indicated in an interview on NBC News’ “Meet the Press” on Sunday that President Donald Trump was not opposed to invoking the Insurrection Act.

Asked by moderator Kristen Welker whether the White House was seriously considering invoking the 1807 statute, Vance said, “The president is looking at all his options.”

“Right now he hasn’t felt he needed to,” he added.

The Insurrection Act would allow the president to deploy the U.S. military domestically for law enforcement purposes. The military is typically not allowed to be deployed on U.S. soil for domestic law enforcement purposes without congressional authorization.

Hot kid. Seems nice. The comments are very sympathetic, but that's ONLY because he's young, white, and has a good body. If he looked like Rollo from Sanford and Son, they'd be calling for a life sentence.

Sometimes, not often, the biggest dorks make some of the best music.

She is bewildered by the love she is receiving for her performance as Elspeth in Saltburn.

“Are you surprised by how much people are loving Elspeth? I’m totally astonished! I’m bewildered. I sort of don’t know what to do with it. I’ve seen people on Instagram quoting lines and playing clips and also doing their own edits – putting Elspeth together with other characters I’ve played. I think in our filtered, cagey world where everyone’s being so cautious, it’s nice to see someone unfiltered. She’s in a bubble, nobody exists except people in her orbit so she can say whatever she wants without consequence. She doesn’t exist in the real world.”

Are Hillary and Condi best buddies now? They appeared in the Jon Stewart show together a year ago. Now this. And they are scheduled to show up together again for a lecture at Brown University in a few weeks. How surreal? Did Hillary find a plan B after her Arabic toy girl got married off?

TCM was showing movies about women in the workforce, and since I'd never seen "Baby Boom," I thought I'd watch it, expecting lots of laughs. Nope. The movie doesn't hold up, and I don't think I laughed even once. Some of the things that bothered me the most:

- Diane Keaton is supposed to be a maverick business woman, but she can't figure out how to put a disposable diaper on a baby. - Also, the maverick business woman buys a house sight unseen, then runs out of money in about two weeks trying to fix all of its problems. - She carries the kid around like a sack of flour. I can't imagine they could get away with that kind of mishandling of a child in the movies today. - The movie appears to take place over the course of a year, but the kid never grows an inch and never learns to talk. Is it developmentally disabled? - Sam Shepard had teeth that looked like bowling pins that were just knocked down.

Anyone else seen this piece of crap? What are your thoughts?

Sad last days.

I’m 59. I have zero energy after 1pm. It’s gotten so bad in 2025. Living through the dump years feels like jail in so many ways. I notice people behaving awfully when I’m out. It’s hard to shake. I’d love to travel but now seems a bad time. I’m starting to feel like this will never change. That I still won’t trust planes, people, anything …even after dump is out.

We have the original theatrical ending which is shorter and happier. One of the Greek chorus girls couldn’t make the final shot so they put another woman in the line and didn‘t show her face.

Then you have the Director’s Cut version which cost a fortune for such a small film and was cut after the test screenings said it sucked all the air out of the room. It was closer to the stage ending but the actors didn’t reappear as flowers on Audrey II and there was no curtain call or dropping vines to freak out the audience during “Don’t Feed the Plants”. Instead, we got an endless sequence of exploding brick walls and the plants taking over the world with no optimism. Once Ellen Greene dies, the film runs out of gas.

Which do you prefer?

There will be a special prize for everyone who knows.

The shade at the end is fun. Surprising that no one on set came to her defense.

Looking forward to DL "moderates" try to defend this one.

I forgot about that television movie Lynda Carter did about Rita Hayworth. At least Lynda did her own singing. But she lacked Rita’s sinuous, slinky elegance.

What celebrities will die in 2025? Do you think Jimmy Carter will be able to hang on that long?

Make your predictions here!

Tallulah Willis is taking back her power.

In a post shared to Instagram on Wednesday, Oct. 8, the 31-year-old daughter of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore, opened up about learning to embrace her features after years of hating them due to online bullying.

“My Lordy! if I am NOT this man’s child,” the actress captioned a carousel, which alternated between pictures of herself and her famous father, 70.

The images showed shots of Tallulah with facial expressions similar to Bruce's.

My 10 year high-school reunion will happen this year in May, coinciding with the high-school graduation. I didn't plan to attend, but a few friends have messaged asking if I'm going. I barely stay in touch with even those few, certainly not most of the acquaintances from back then. I was pretty active in high school, and had a big social circle, but I have a completely different life now. Do you attend these? I can see these people on social media, and I'm sure we've grown apart.

The Israel-Palestine relationship is too complicated to simply be "Pro-Palestine" or "Pro-Israel." Why is everyone so extreme on the topic now? There is so much history and aggression on all sides.

Egypt controlled the Gaza Strip and Jordan ruled the West Bank until 1967;

Since then, both Israel, Palestine, and Hamas have controlled the Strip in some way, while part of the West Bank was annexed to Israel, other parts aren't. Then Jerusalem part of the West Bank has its own problems.

Every President, British Prime Minister, and Secretary of State have spent significant time with Israel and Palestine in some way or another to broker peace. At the 11th hour, one of the countries pulls out for some reason. Sometimes it's frivolous, sometimes it isn't.

Both entities attack each other viciously and two-fold of the last attack. Terrorists in both countries are blood thirsty and will stop at nothing to exterminate their enemy, which leads to innocent people getting slaughtered.

"From the River to the Sea" might represent Palestinian freedom, but it also represents the extermination of an entire sect of people. It is very quasi-coded. It baffles me that so many people don't even know from which river to which sea the chant is talking about.

Israel and Palestine have the right to defend itself, but countries can support Israel/Palestine without supporting how specifically they defend itself.

The rest of the Middle East hates Israel, but certain sects also hate Hamas and Hezbollah.

Both are victims and aggressors.

Anyway, rant over. Do you agree or disagree?

Too gay? Good singer, shitty actor?

I need to take the edge off these days.

[quote]...according to the letter...

President Donald Trump remains in "exceptional health," his physician said after the president underwent a "comprehensive follow-up evaluation" at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center on Friday as part of his "ongoing health maintenance plan."

The update came in a letter from Dr. Sean Barbarella, the White House physician, released Friday evening.

The visit included advanced imaging, lab testing and preventive health assessments conducted by a team of specialists, according to the letter.

I wonder who the Queers for Palestine will side with now.

Grit is a magazine, formerly a weekly newspaper, popular in the rural U.S. during much of the 20th century. It carried the subtitle "America's Greatest Family Newspaper". In the early 1930s, it targeted small town and rural families with 14 pages plus a fiction supplement. By 1932, it had a circulation of 425,000 in 48 states, and 83% of its circulation was in towns of fewer than 10,000 inhabitants.[1]

Porter in the July 2021 video call exclusively obtained by POLITICO also vented that she was snubbed by the Biden White House, complaining she raised the president “a shit ton of money.”

I grew up watching and loving both shows, but I don't know if it was ever explained who they really were. It's a good guess that Herman Munster was some kind of Frankenstein monster, but what about Lilly and Grandpa? Were they dead? WTF was Cousin It supposed to be? More importantly, do we think Thing and Lady Fingers ever...you know...fingered each other?

I've lost 40 lbs in 5 months and mine looks bigger now than it did before the weight loss.

I like when we have cologne threads here as I love fragrances.

Let me mention one that I bought a sample of "decant" because I wanted to see what the fuss was about.

Guidance 46 by Amouage.

HOLY COW! It's a NUCLEAR fragrance that smells like rotten pears and nuts with roses. ITS FUCKING DISGUSTING! Shocked by its cult status and $500.00 price tag. (I believe it does have an extremely high concentration of oils compared to most fragrances)

Fucking outrageous. Everyone knew this murderer/"struggling artist" was trouble, but they kept letting him off. A 64 year old, Brooklyn native, survivor of both islamic terror attacks on the WTC gets beaten to death. The legal aide lawyer, Gretchen Reeser says he's not a flight risk but she doesn't give a shit about the safety of law-abiding citizens. The prosecutors and judges are totally useless and act helpless every time this violent criminal is before the court. Elected officials remain silent as criminals are released.

(Sorry about the NYPost link. I couldn't remember how to post the paywalled NYTs article.)

Didn't this happen last January? A deal to return the Palestinians home? I remember vast caravans of people hooting and hollering that- even though their homes were now rubble- at least their land was still there. And they would pitch tents and rebuild!

But it was a trap. Israel started firing on them and they scattered.

The White House responded to the news of the Nobel Peace award Friday, with communications director Steven Cheung saying members of “the Nobel Committee proved they place politics over peace" because they didn't recognize Trump, especially after the Gaza ceasefire deal his administration helped strike this week.

“He has the heart of a humanitarian, and there will never be anyone like him who can move mountains with the sheer force of his will,” Cheung wrote on social media.

The White House did not comment on Machado's recognition, but Trump on social media shared Machado's post praising him.

This came up on the Bulwark. Damn! Back in the W. admin, he was big girl.

RIP!

Hello, Nicholas Denton as "Guy Anatole."

He's a cutie!

Well, two weeks and 7 hours to be exact. I'm feeling pretty good, and what a relief it is to not have to rotate where I'm buying my two bottles of wine nightly (to avoid judgment from store clerks), nor to have to take bottles out to the recycle bin every third day, knowing the neighbors can see all the bottles I've accumulated (we share one set of trash/recycling for 5 people on our property).

Based on how much I was drinking prior to quitting, that's 142 drinks passed up, 28+ bottles, $185 bucks saved (I was buying some cheaper, but tasty to me, wine).

It's been so wonderful to wake up ready for the day, and eat my first meal of the day without intense stomach cramps and having to run for the bathroom for fear of shitting my pants (and that has happened). No more waking up with unexplained bruises or skin issues (I would get eczema-like patches occasionally and my face was breaking out - especially my nose), and bloated face/swollen and bloodshot eyes. I've cleaned my house (finally put away holiday decorations that had been sitting unboxed on the floor for four months, and folded all the laundered clothes I let pile up on my sofa), cleaned up most of the yard and planted a few things, and am preparing to start exercising - my puppy will finally be able to take walks in the outside world this coming Saturday, so we'll be walking quite a bit. I've lost 4.8 lbs without trying (because i'm not drinking 1200+ extra calories per day) without any exercise at all (besides a few hours gardening).

How is everyone else doing? Anyone else sick of drinking? Thinking of quitting? Just quit or have a story to share? Share it here! It's great to be back among the living again. Thank you to everyone who has been encouraging and helpful to me before and while I've been quitting, fellow DLers.

Except in America, of course, where Gen-Z "bros" just love fascism and fascists.

Anybody watching this shitshow right now? He's doing his monologue and trying to make jokes about Charlie Kirk and Dump, some are kind of okay, but I'm curious to see where he's gonna go with this.

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. . .

Bitch on, bitches!

With pictures?

So much female talent in one photo.

There’s a new one gone everyday.

Who will be next?

For the past two days I have been constipated and been vomiting. My brother says to get a COVID test, but at the urgent care they say COVID is more respiratory and this sounds more like in the digestive tract. My SIL says she had both when she had her first occurrence of Covid. So should I get the test? I am going to urgent care in the morning to discuss.

Suppose you had a hangout, let’s say it’s a Lounge called Data. You go there often to get the latest Food Network news, see some celebrity peen, and throw a drink on a sloppy harlot. Good fun. Oh, and you have to pay a few bucks a month just to get in.

Now suppose the Lounge is very poorly managed - the boss is out back in the alley, smoking cocks or running some other restaurant - and in his absence, a smarmy gang of miscreants barges in every weekend to utterly trash the place and your table, too. They pick fights with their exes - people you don’t even know - about shit you can’t imagine. They pick you up and toss you out on the street, and blue-bar you from entry for 48 hours. You ask the manager to fix it, or at least give you a refund, but no dice.

So what should you do?

$150 million well spent.

Does anyone have pretentious friends?

It’s Wendy Osfeo-the last one you would expect to be tangled up in something like this.

She’s going to regret her decision to smile.

Do you think America 🇺🇸 can change its rapid course towards authoritarianism?

Bell Media’s Crave is set to stream Heated Rivalry, a steamy six-part series about a same-sex hockey romance created by one of the key figures behind previous hits Shoresy and Letterkenny.

Jacob Tierney, a filmmaker who was Jared Keeso’s right-hand man through season two of Shoresy, is writing and directing the show. Adapted from Canadian author Rachel Reid’s 2019 page-turner of the same name, it tells the story of major-league hockey stars Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov, who meet as teenagers and end up playing on rival teams.

The two are, per the show’s logline, “torn between the sport they live for and the love they can’t ignore.”

“I was drawn to the books because of how real and raw the characters felt, the way they loved, fought and held nothing back,” Tierney said in a statement to The Globe and Mail.

Heated Rivalry – produced by Accent Aigu Entertainment, founded by Tierney and Brendan Brady – will be officially announced at Bell Media’s upfront on Thursday. News of the series leaked online as the production began filming around Ontario in Toronto, Hamilton and Guelph.

The romance novel’s avid fans have lit up Reddit with excitement, sharing the Instagram pages of Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie, the actors who are playing the main characters.

“I can’t wait for everyone to meet Hudson and Connor, who bring Ilya and Shane to life in the most electric way,” Tierney said.

On her website, Nova Scotia author Reid describes herself in this way: “I like to write cute smut about hockey players and other people.”

The Crave adaptation of Heated Rivalry promises not to tone down those smutty elements.

In an interview, Justin Stockman, vice-president of content development and programming at Bell Media, said he has seen rushes from the shoot and that fans of what he called “popular IP” will not be disappointed: “There are folders you shouldn’t open at work.”

“It looks great. What we’ve seen is not even colour-corrected or edited yet and it looks like the money is on the screen,” Stockman said. “We put together a great cast.”

Heated Rivalry is still in production and a release date has not been finalized, but Bell Media will announce it as part of its 2025-2026 slate of programming.

And that's a fact!

The long-awaited sequel to Mel Gibson's 2004 blockbuster biblical drama The Passion of the Christ will include two parts.

The official Instagram page for the production announced on Tuesday, Aug. 5, that the first part will be released on Good Friday, which falls on Friday, March 26, 2027. The second part will hit theaters less than two months later on Ascension Day, which is on Thursday, May 6, 2027.

The Passion of the Christ sequel will cover the resurrection of Jesus, but Gibson has said that there is so much more to unpack than just the Son of God rising from the dead.

But is getting some treatments.

Just saw a couple of new stories about P-town facing a dramatic drop in bookings this coming summer and everyone was saying it’s become way too expensive for what you get. People coming for years and years have decided to go elsewhere because it’s way too overpriced. Ugly water, fried food, traffic…not worth the ridiculous cost.

I was watching his 1976 Olympics Gold Medal performance on Youtube and ended up going down a rabbit hole. I read the bio "Alone" which described his sexual masochism, his love affair with actor Alan Bates, his early death from AIDS, and I wondered if anyone here at DL ever saw him perform, either on ice, at the Anvil, or in his bedroom.

Clue is a classic murder mystery caper, but it was released with three different endings, only one of which is the best. Clue follows Mr. Boddy and his Butler as they host a dinner party for several dinner guests, all of whom work in or around government jobs, and none of whom completely know each other. They all have something in common, however: they're being blackmailed by Mr. Boddy, as he knows their darkest secrets. When the lights go out, and he's murdered, every guest becomes a suspect, as it was advantageous to any one of them if he was dead. What follows is a lot more murder and betrayal.

Which ending do you prefer?

What songs - older, new or somewhere in between - lift your spirits and make you forget your troubles?

The world may be collapsing, but let's have a few moments of joy.

Yikes.

Oh this looks amazing

I was browsing Instagram and came across P. Allen Smith’s profile. I then noticed he was following a bunch of right wing politicians and think tank blogs: Mike Johnson, Fox News, Kristi Noem, uprisingvoice, ragingwest (upholding Christian nationalist values), Sen John Kennedy and many others.

One could argue he’s just keeping tabs on them but it’s telling he’s not following any liberal or Democratic accounts. I’m just surprised a person who looks like he smells cookies and was a host of a show on PBS is right wing. Not even a Mitt Romney moderate!

The future of the Democratic Party.

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."

This guy is hot, beefy, Latino jock and former high school football player. Now, in his mid-20s, he's decided to be a porn actor and is making a name for himself by being a voracious, uninhibited bottom who frequently gets gangbanged. He's got nice pecs, a fat ass, and a fit-thick build, but comes off as a trashy frat bro and seems to have zero self-respect based on the way he lets his tops treat him and talk to him. Thoughts?

That you want to share with our gaylings, so that they too, may know, what a fantastic fucking song is, when they hear one.

I’ll start!

P.S. - The Killers did a perfect cover of this one.

Which puts her in 11th for the artist that’s had the most number ones on the dance chart. She’s in the the same league as Whitney Houston, Kylie Minogue, Martha Wash, Kristine W., Mariah Carey, Donna Summer, Lady Gaga, and Jennifer Lopez, who have had between 14-18 number ones.

Madonna is still the champ at 50, and I don’t think anyone will touch that records anytime soon .

But still Yoko is in that category.

I'm sure this has been asked before, but I'd like to get a current take on this. I have a bunch of old gay stuff that I ended up with from a deceased friend. (Honest! It's not mine!) Books, old Advocates and porn magazines, gay Yellow Pages, local advertising, a Calvin Klein jeans pictorial, porn mailings. Most of it is probably '80s and '90s. Is there any place that collects or archives these types of things? I don't mind throwing it all out, but I hate to do it if there's someone who might be able to benefit from it.

Almost universally liked. No one has pretty much anything bad to say about them.

Nine Razzie wins and sixteen nominations plus other data offers concrete proof there is no actor worse than Madonna.

This historical drama/horror film focuses on F. W. Murnau's making of the silent classic "Nosferatu", during which cast and crew come to suspect that Max Schreck, the actor playing the titular vampire, may not really be an actor at all. Willem Dafoe stars as Schreck, while John Malkovich portrays Murnau. Cary Elwes, Catherine McCormack, Eddie Izzard, and Udo Kier also appear. The film is based on the oft-repeated urban legend that Schreck was an actual vampire. Dafoe received nominations for Best Supporting Actor at the Academy and Golden Globe Awards for his performance. It is a fantastic film that, despite having a cult following, never seemed to have really caught on.

I am truly scared. I don’t see a way out of this mess.

Former President Joe Biden is undergoing a new phase of treatment for an aggressive form of cancer that was diagnosed in May, a spokesperson said on Saturday.

"As part of a treatment plan for prostate cancer, President Biden is currently undergoing radiation therapy and hormone treatment," according to the spokesperson for the former president.

The radiation treatment is expected to span five weeks and marks a new point in his care, the spokesperson said. He has already been taking a pill form of hormone medication, they added.

"Is This Thing On" is a 'midlife catharsis' movie, says Cooper.

NEW YORK — Will Arnett is much funnier in real life.

Take it from Bradley Cooper, who directs the comedian in the sentimental new dramedy “Is This Thing On?” (in theaters Dec. 19). The film follows a finance guy named Alex (Arnett), who after splitting from his wife Tess (Laura Dern), stumbles into an unlikely hobby as a standup comic. It becomes a therapeutic exercise as Alex hops between Greenwich Village comedy clubs, venting about marriage, sex and family, but often struggling to land a punchline.

“It was quite an acting feat,” said Cooper, speaking to reporters after the movie’s first-ever screening at the New York Film Festival Oct. 10. “For him to play this character is so amusing. He’s still funny, but he’s not Will Arnett funny. It was a real testament that he was able to dive in and do that.”

Fmr. Rep Katie Porter, 51, was just on 'Velshi' this morning, and I couldn't beleieve my eyes. The frumpy, overweight Porter who graced our TV screens for the past few years has returned with a whole new look - possibly for next year's run as Governor of California ?

She used to look like singer Susan Boyle's long lost twin. Today, she looks like she has lost weight (Ozempic?), got a stylish new haircut, and wears make-up. She's still smart as a whip, and knows her shit.

Keep going Katie ! Here's her official photo for her candidacy, but today she looks even thinner with a better haircut...

this explains a lot ...

She is an American who writes columns for the Daily Mail and the NY Post. She wrote an excellent book last year called “Ask not: the Kennedys and the women they destroy”. She is incredibly funny and hates Meghan Markle more than almost anyone on earth.

'Hot felon' Jeremy Meeks lives a very different life after his mugshot went viral 11 years ago.

Back in the early social media days it felt like the 'hot felon' mugshot was always on the news feed.

Jeremy Meeks - aka 'Prison Bae' - became the talk of the town when the Stockton Police Department shared a pic of the then-30-year-old looking absolutely immaculate.

In 2014, he was taken into custody in Stockton, California and was listed as a 'convicted felon, arrested for felony weapon charges'. Despite his denial of the crimes, a year later he was convicted of one count of being in possession of a firearm, and was sentenced to 27 months in federal prison.

During that time, he earned the nickname 'hot felon' after his mugshot went crazy viral. After serving around 13 months in jail, he signed a lucrative deal with White Cross Management, which kickstarted his modelling career.

Let's discuss the great spooky film Zodiac. It is easily one of my favorite films of all time.

Directed by David Fincher

Starring Mark Ruffalo, Jake Gyllenhaal, Robert Downey Jr., Anthony Edwards, Dermont Mulroney, John Carrol Lynch, Elias Koteas, Donal Logue, Chloë Sevigny, John Getz, Zach Greiner, Adam Goldberg, John Terry, Philip Baker Hall, and Brian Cox as Melvin Belli

(On this day, in 1980).

Directed by Alfred Hitchcock, and based on the novel by Daphne du Maurier, the film follows the second Mrs. De Winter as she discovers the secrets of Manderley and Rebecca.

Starring Laurence Olivier, Joan Fontaine, George Sanders, Gladys Cooper, Nigel Bruce, Sir C. Aubrey Smith, Florence Bates, Reginald Denny, Leo G. Carroll, and DAME JUDITH ANDERSON.

With a lush score by Franz Waxman, and excellent cinematography by George Barnes, Rebecca is one of the greatest movies ever made.

Super-intimate profile of the Patron Saint of Datalounge who is still working all the time and so is incredibly busy.

Things I had forgotten that the profile reminded me of:

*Her great grandfather was the cereal magnate C. W. Post

*Her parents belonged to a cult that made them missionaries who shipped her all over the world

*the worst thing in her life that still traumatizes her is that the cult's offshoot that she joined was... the upbeat musical group Up with People! She spent years fighting with the adults involved in it and she still cries when she thinks about her wasted years with them.

Ok, there is this guy. Older man, 72, married, three kids, just retied from a delivery route. Could not be straighter. But this is not about that. With a couple of guys, we eat lunch together several times a week. Often he stands up or reaches upward (ok, I’m watching his ass) his shirt might ride up a bit or his pants had ridden down a bit and I’m there looking at a quick glimpse of Joe Boxer briefs which aren’t brief at all or white y-fronts with a blue horizontal tripe. Just a tiny glimpse of a bit of blonde hairless back skin. For me it is a huge turn-on. Just a bit of skin showing. Today we went doing some community chores and he drove and I was Shotgun and every time he got out I was peeping, did see some skin. Made me think for some time, if not always, I have been turned on by seeing a bit of accidental exposure. Anyone else like this? He is totally unaware of any of it.

Just went to get my booster and was told by the pharmacist that even though I'm 72 years old a prescription from your doctor is required to get the puncture. They were kind enough to call my doctor for me and there was no issue getting the prescription faxed over, and I got the puncture. She and I were talking about all the new stupid rules they're coming out with and she informed me that previously insurance paid for the COVID treatment Paxlovid, but no more. Now it will cost you $1000 to receive the treatment, so be careful, hope you don't come down with COVID.

Four-part British drama about the arrest of a 13-year-old boy for murder. Each episode takes place in 60 minutes in one continuous shot (it's not, of course, but the computer magic to make it look like it is remarkable).

There's a newcomer playing Jamie and he's excellent given that he's on camera most of the time.

Looking forward to finishing it tomorrow night. Apparently ep 3 is a two-hander set in one room with Jamie and his shrink.

Kamala Harris’ media blitz is doing little to temper the frustration bubbling among Democrats over her retelling of the 2024 election.

Over the last 24 hours, the former vice president insisted she isn’t burning bridges in her own party, rejected the idea that her infamous interview on "The View" tipped the 2024 election and didn’t rule out another run for political office.

“In an era where Democrats need all hands on deck in the fight to protect the country and the constitution from the lawlessness of the Trump administration, she had a real opportunity to be a critical voice in the resistance,” said Democratic strategist Michael Hardaway. “This book seems to be unhelpful and divisive in a way that makes it hard for her to be the face of the party as we look to the future.”

At least 1000 more government workers got fired tonight—as Trump threatened— because the gov is still shutdown.

No, not THAT Barry Williams. It was a guy with the same name who had an apartment just a short stroll from the infamous 18-and-up Odyssey dance club in L.A. Barry was tall and very handsome, with curly blond hair and dreamy eyes. He charmed me from the dance floor to his apartment (and his bed). No problems and no complaints. It was a good experience, and nothing unpleasant ever resulted. I’m not a whore, darlin’, but I WAS hot and horny in my coming out period. Who wasn’t? Just thought I’d share a nice memory from a few decades ago. Anyone else care to share the story of their lost virginity?

"Defend the Homeland. Join ICE today!"

Murderers, rapists, terrorists, and child pedophiles—ICE is recruiting patriotic, brave Americans to remove these criminal illegal aliens from America’s streets

WASHINGTON – The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) today launched a new U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) campaign to recruit brave and heroic Americans to join ICE as federal law enforcement agents and remove the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens from America’s streets.

“Your country is calling you to serve at ICE. In the wake of the Biden administration’s failed immigration policies, your country needs dedicated men and women of ICE to get the worst of the worst criminals out of our country,” said Secretary Kristi Noem. “This is a defining moment in our nation’s history. Your skills, your experience, and your courage have never been more essential. Together, we must defend the homeland.”

GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene broke sharply with her party leaders on Wednesday as they tried to project a united front in the deepening standoff with Democrats over health care and the government shutdown, calling on Speaker Mike Johnson to bring the House back into session and warning that Americans would be hammered by higher costs if her party doesn’t help right the ship.

Greene, a staunchly conservative Georgia Republican, warned that her party would face backlash from voters if rising health care costs are not addressed, underscoring the growing rift between the prominent Trump ally and GOP leaders.

“Everyone’s just getting destroyed,” Greene told CNN in an exclusive, wide-ranging interview from her House office. “Look, Democrats, you created this mess. Republicans, you have no solutions. You haven’t come up with a new plan in place, and we’re not even talking about it, and it is hurting so many people.”

The issue is front-and-center in the feud over the government shutdown, with Democrats demanding an extension of enhanced Affordable Care Act subsidies that were bolstered during the Covid-19 pandemic to help families pay for health insurance. The loss of those subsidies, set to expire at year’s end, are expected to drive up health care premiums — and Democrats say they must be dealt with immediately as a condition for their votes to reopen the government.

Republicans say those negotiations must wait until after Democrats support a straight extension to fund the government until November 21. Johnson says he won’t bring the House back into session until Senate Democrats vote for the stopgap bill, which the House passed last month.

“I think he should really bring the House back in session for many reasons,” Greene said, lamenting that the regular appropriations process and important meetings between members, including on health care, are on hold. “Any serious speaker of the House is going to build consensus within his conference behind a plan. It’s not something secret that gets worked on in a committee.”

“This cliff is coming for millions and millions of Americans where their health insurance premiums are about to skyrocket, so put your money where your mouth is,” she said, while calling for broader changes to the nation’s health care policy as she contended that the Obama-era Affordable Care Act drove up her family’s health care costs dramatically.

Greene’s comments are the latest in a series of steps she’s taken that have isolated her from her party’s leadership — and the White House. An outspoken critic of Ukraine, she has also ratcheted up her criticism of Israel and called the Gaza war a “genocide.” And she’s one of a handful of Republicans trying to force a full House vote to seek the release of the Jeffrey Epstein case files, while urging Trump to meet with the victims of the late convicted sex offender, saying it would be a “good thing to hear their personal stories.”

And she has major support in the party.

Otherwise he casts Nepo babies or gets acclaimed stars (somehow) whose careers are not as hot as they once were to star in his mostly shitty shows. Or aged actors/actresses. Or stunt castings.

The only time he gets new actors to star is if they’re young and really hot. Especially the males. And they don’t even have to be good at acting. They just need to be young and desperate for a job. Hunter McVey is the perfect example of this.

This can be a good thing but also bad depending on his intentions.

The legendary singer and actress took to Instagram to post what she called a note directly addressing Fonda’s latest push to defend freedom of expression in Hollywood. Streisand’s post arrives on the heels of the relaunch of the Committee for the First Amendment, a group first formed during the McCarthy era when entertainers, academics, and politicians were blacklisted, silenced, and in some cases imprisoned for their political beliefs.

“Dear Jane,” Streisand began. “We are indeed in deep trouble under Trump’s regime. The entertainment community has always had strong and powerful artists standing up for democracy and freedom of speech. Our voices are always stronger together.”

“I’m proud to be part of our community and this committee in 2025, as sad as this is, to be reliving the 1950s,” she wrote. “Jane, I appreciate your continued activism and voice in these scary times. With hope for the future, Barbra.”

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.”

The Dead Zone

The Net

What was it about the 1970s that there was so much focus on cults? I remember there being newscasts that talked about "deprogramming" and talk shows that had parents who lost their children to cults. And even Tales of the City made it a plot point in the second installment. What happened to all those cults?

So much hate and anger. Why?

I’m hearing about a hot project that’s brewing over at Amazon/MGM. It comes from talented director Joseph Cedar and already has two A-list actresses attached to star.

Meryl Streep and Sigourney Weaver are set to star in Cedar’s “Useful Idiots,” written by “Thelma & Louise” screenwriter Callie Khouri. No plot details have been released yet, but with this level of talent attached, it’s a film to watch. Production is scheduled to begin in January.

It’s no surprise that these two talented actresses would want to work with Cedar. The Israeli-born filmmaker has consistently excelled at character-driven storytelling, with “Footnote” and “Norman: The Moderate Rise and Tragic Fall of a New York Fixer” as prime examples. ‘Norman,’ an underrated gem featuring a career-best Richard Gere, was Cedar’s last film—almost a decade ago.

Meanwhile, Streep, who hasn’t appeared in a film since 2021’s “Don’t Look Up,” is starting to pile up projects once again. Any whispers of retirement have safely been put on the backburner.

Streep shot “The Devil Wears Prada” sequel this summer, is set to star as Aslan the Lion in Greta Gerwig’s ‘Narnia,’ and is also attached to Cameron Crowe’s Joni Mitchell biopic, set to shoot in late 2026.

In the meantime, try to watch Cedar’s ‘Norman,’ and while you’re at it, the excellent “Footnote.” It’s good to have him back in the fold, and I’ll obviously update my post when more information comes through about this next project.

Is it all glitz and glamour? So preppy it hurts?

I'm currently visiting a city with magnificent backdrops (think Amsterdam, Venice, Kyoto) and I'm astounded by the behavior of others. Every time I cross a bridge there is some young woman (they usually are) posing with an ice cream cone or a bowl of rice or some other local delicacy. They always fluff their hair over their shoulders -- why oh why do they ALL affect the same pose? It's weird too that the 23 year olds have lip injections. Before I'm accused of being out of it, I realize that standards change and that young people have always been self-conscious but these are the exact opposite. They glory in their uniqueness by acting like everyone else.

Voting equipment company Dominion Voting Systems, a target of false conspiracy theories from President Donald Trump and his supporters since the 2020 election, has been bought by a firm run by a former Republican elections official, the new company announced Thursday.

The newly formed company, Liberty Vote, also vowed to follow the executive order Donald Trump signed last spring seeking sweeping changes to election policies that multiple judges have put on hold for violating the Constitution.

I'm very happy to see it come back. I think it's the best work James Gunn has done--it's very witty and fun.

It's one of the few superhero shows to suggest superheroes actually have sex, and it even implies that Peacemaker (John cena) is bisexual. There's a scene in the first season where he wakes up in bed with both a woman and the crazy anti-hero Vigilante next to him, who basically worships him (and is played by the adorable Freddie Stroma).

Samantha Wynn Greenstone knows her husband is gay, okay? She knew he was gay when they met in a San Diego production of “Fiddler on the Roof.” She knew he was gay when he proposed. She knew he was gay when they got married in November. He’s not bisexual. She’s not in denial. That hasn’t stopped them from being in a committed monogamous relationship for nearly 10 years. “If anything, I think we are taking the sanctity of marriage to a whole new level,” said Greenstone, 38, smiling widely as she sat beside her husband, Jacob Hoff, 32, at their home in Los Angeles. That morning, Hoff made Greenstone her new favorite breakfast: an English muffin with egg, cheese and avocado.

An awkward live TV moment for White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller is under heavy scrutiny on social media.

On Monday afternoon, the Donald Trump aide went on CNN’s News Central to discuss the President’s deployment of National Guard troops to U.S. cities.

CNN asked Miller whether the Trump Administration will abide by a district judge’s order blocking the Guard’s deployment in Oregon. “Well, the Administration filed an appeal this morning with the Ninth Circuit,” Miller began. “I would note the Administration won an identical case in the Ninth Circuit just a few months ago with respect to the federalizing of the California National Guard.”

Then, Miller said: “Under Title 10 of the U.S. Code, the President has plenary authority, has—” before making an abrupt stop. Miller blinked several times, with anchor Boris Sanchez calling out his name, though he still did not respond.

*My guess is that Stephen Miller realized what he just admitted on live television or either someone in his earpiece told him to shut the fuck up. Anyway, if there was any question we are in 1930s Germany, there shouldn’t be now.

Who should play her in the inevitable biopic?

I kept thinking of that old thread about everyone's favorite secondary characters from Gone With the Wind we had years ago.

Johnny & Ginny Sacrimoni

Nucci Gualtieri

Gloria Trillo

Richie Aprile (brilliant)

Jackie Aprile Jr.

Vito Spatafore

I-I mean 'roast'.

I hope I never end up this mentally confused. Granny confuses grizzly for her Rufus.

And thank god Claire shuts the girls down when she does because by that pointing the episode, they had sung it about three times, each more annoying than the last.

Haha, this fucker is really gone.

And it's a baby koala no less.

… and lived to tell the tale.

At least I’m 99% sure it was him. I flew into Syracuse NY on Friday and out Sunday. When I got to the airport on Sunday, I saw a bunch of cops standing around and I thought there had been a crime just committed. Inside the group of cops I saw two men talking.

I was startled to see one of them was Pete. He was more handsome in person than I’d thought, but also shorter.

I wonder what he was doing in Syracuse of all places?

This needs to happen more. Citizens protecting thugs from kidnapping people off the streets.

Yes, it's reddit so if you don't like, skip it.

I didn't make it through the whole thing, but perhaps you will.

Congratulations, girls!

"A crazed sniper is set to kill spectators at an L.A. Coliseum football championship game and the police race against time to eliminate him."

Diected by: Larry Peerce

Screenplay by: Edward Hume. Based on the novel of the same name by George LaFountaine.

Starring: Charlton Heston, John Cassavetes, Martin Balsam, Beau Bridges, Marilyn Hassett, David Janssen, Jack Klugman, Walter Pidgeon, Gena Rowlands, Brock Peters, David Groh, Anthony Davis and Joe Kapp.

With all the ongoing media circus surrounding Charlie Kirk's murder, I felt the urge of watching films that depict the mass paranoia that a sniper could inflict on large crowds.

The film itself feels like a love-child between "Earthquake" and "Dirty Harry" and it felt really scary to see that the sniper's real motives are never fully known.

I know it’s a DL joke but tbh since reading about it here I’ve noticed that all my frau friends cradle a mug of something whenever they sit down to do pretty much anything. Once a friend was mug cradling while sitting in a lotus position doing yoga. I almost laughed out loud because it was such a DL iconic moment.

So what’s the obsession with fraus and cradling a big vat of something? I don’t get it. Fraus - give us the tea - in a mug, of course! 😁

Seventeen years have gone by, and I still think the trailer for "The Strangers" is extremely effective and among the best of the genre. The imagery and that skipping record (which has been shamelessly replicated in numerous other films/trailers since) is bone-chilling. What are some others?

I think I may have to start donating to him.

Hello, daddy!

Maybe it’s just a Southern thing to ask for prayers or maybe it’s much more serious than they’ve been letting on. Dolly is 80 and her hubby of 50 years recently died. Couples together that long usually croak pretty close together. All the stress.

I bet that no can find even 1 single flaw on it...

[quote]Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. expanded his crusade against using Tylenol with a cutting-edge warning: boys who were circumcised were twice as likely to be diagnosed with autism later. "There are two studies that show children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism," Kennedy said Oct. 9 at President Donald Trump’s Cabinet meeting. "It’s highly likely because they’re given Tylenol."

That's what I heard but I don't know if it's just a rumor. Was his body ever actually found? Is that why he was "buried at sea"?

I did a search but no dice. Chicken Soup because autumn.

Starting this because of the use of the term “tinned fish” in that other thread.

I like to think I’m an openminded, bohemian sort, but I’m lying to myself. I’m really quite provincial and judgmental.

One of the things that gets on my last nerve is some Americans’ use foreign terms, primarily terms from the UK. Which ones annoy you the most?

I’ll start — I hate when an American says “spot on.” Go fuck yourself. I’m totally fine with British people saying it.

Also hate when Americans use British spelling, like favourite. Ok Mary Poppins, give it a rest.

As of fall 2025.

Just thought it would be interesting to have all the hot guys in one thread.

Starting with Mike Sacks. He may want to unfuck politics, but he could fuck me any time!

In her own district. Dumped as ambassador to UN and now this. Elise is not having a great year.

Just received a text message from Graham Platner’s campaign. He’s the Democrat running for the U.S. Senate from Maine.

Excerpted from his message:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Nothing pisses me off more than getting a fundraising text from Democrats talking about how they're fighting fascism... Because it's such B.S. We're not idiots. Everyone knows most of them aren't doing jack right now to fight back.

People are being kidnapped into unmarked vans by masked police. There is a genocide happening in Palestine. Literal billionaires have taken over our government. And all Democratic leadership can do is send us another fundraising text?

My name is Graham Platner, and I'm the oyster farmer, Marine Corps veteran, and Democrat running for U.S. Senate against Susan Collins here in Maine. I'm not going to speak in platitudes or shy away from what I believe. There is a war going on in this country, and the oligarchy and the fascists are winning right now.

Susan Collins is the most vulnerable Republican senator in the country. We have an opportunity to replace her with a working-class Democrat - one who won't take money from corporations or AIPAC.

In the history of this nation, power has never been just willingly handed to the people. Another mealy-mouthed Democrat isn't going to fix things or protect our constitution. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

What does anyone here from Maine or familiar with politics in Maine think of this guy’s chances? Are voters in Maine finally sick of Collins and ready to ditch her? Or is her power as a longtime incumbent too great?

I’m poor but I have thrown money at Democrats’ campaigns in North Carolina and Texas and Iowa and elsewhere believing they had serious chances, but I was so wrong. Could Graham Platner have a genuine chance? I do like what I’ve read.

Over.

Moderately successful comedian Pete Lee. Describes himself on stage as "surprisingly straight." I know the Caftan Crowd only goes for mucle bros with negative 3% body fat, but, I dunno, I think he's cute as a button and quite sexy. I'd much rather have someone who looks strong, but like he ENJOYS his carbs, too.

What does this mean for Mamdani?

A mother truly needs to know.

Vera Farmiga is one of the major ones I can think of,, but I had no idea Liv Tyler had Ukrainian ancestry. Same with Leonardo DiCaprio.

Yes I know that sounds crazy. But give this video three minutes of your time and you’ll see what I mean.

Things sure are awful quiet. Time for a chorus of “Floozies.”

Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your golden hair. Disney is finally moving forward with the live action Tangled.

Disney halted the production in April following the commercial failure of March’s “Snow White” film adaptation. But in the following months, the studio’s “Lilo & Stitch” remake struck a major chord at the box office to the tune of $1 billion globally. A key difference between “Snow White” and “Lilo & Stitch” was cultural relevance (or lack thereof), insiders suggest.

The original “Snow White” was released in 1937 and is no longer the rage with kids today. Meanwhile “Lilo & Stitch,” based on the 2002 film, never waned in popularity; it’s been a top title on Disney+ and, in 2024 alone, drove over $2.6 billion in retail sales. And that towering figure was before the adorable blue agent-of-chaos even returned to the big screen. Clearly the studio is hoping that “Tangled” has a similar cache with younger audiences. Slated for 2027, Tangled will also star Zachary Levi and Julianna Margulies.

There's no such thing as the "Antifa organization" - it's simply the action of being against fascism.

Since there's no actual organization to be affiliated with, does it mean that they can now designate anyone as a terrorist as they see fit without any material proof?

Like if you join a random anti-Trump parade or anti-oligarchy rally and hold up a sign that says "Fuck Fascism", does that make you a terrorist? Because it certainly sounds like a claim that can be made under this law.

"He passed away peacefully in his noose"

Police in Airdrie, Alberta (just north of Calgary) say this driver hit a 17-year-old girl in a marked crosswalk, got out of the vehicle, and appeared to get upset at the teenager before driving away.

They released this video and are now trying to identify the driver.

Research shows 80. Do you agree?

His name is Enrique but he’s always gone by his nickname, Kike. He is 37 going on 38 this year and has worked on Mexican television since around 2006. He is 6’3 and born and raised in Mexico. He pretty much was employed straight out of college and has remained employed steadily since then. I’m certain his good looks play a role in that.

He went to college to work in television (not acting but hosting and presenting) and has worked steadily. He also worked as an online fitness trainer for a while when he was in his early to mid 20s.

He now co-hosts a popular daytime show in Mexico called “Venga La Alegria”. He joined that tv family last summer, when they added 3 new co-hosts after some leaving/being let go. He left the daytime show (and rival to Venga) Vivalavi to go to the more popular Venga when the opportunity came.

He is now married with 2 kids after years of being a playboy and Bachelor.

Can't make this shit up, folks.

Sounds like a classic firebug. He left quite an electronic trail for authorities to find him. Either he's not to bright or he wanted to get caught. Fun fact: His parents were Baptist missionaries. More in next post.

[QUOTE]Federal investigators said Rinderknecht had been working as an Uber driver on New Year’s Eve. Two passengers from separate trips told authorities that he “appeared agitated and angry” that night, officials alleged.

[QUOTE]After dropping off a passenger in the Pacific Palisades, investigators say Rinderknecht drove toward the Skull Rock Trailhead, parked his car, attempted to contact a former friend, and walked up the trail.

[QUOTE]“He then used his iPhone to take videos at a nearby hilltop area and listened to a rap song – to which he had listened repeatedly in previous days – whose music video included things being lit on fire,” the Department of Justice said in a statement.

[QUOTE]Sensors detected the Lachman Fire at that location at 12:12 a.m. on January 1. Rinderknecht called 911 several times over the next five minutes, initially unable to connect due to poor cell phone range, authorities allege. He later connected and reported the fire from the bottom of the hiking trail, and then he drove away.

[QUOTE]“Rinderknecht then fled in his car, passing fire engines driving in the opposite direction. He then turned around and followed the fire engines to the scene, driving at a high rate of speed,” the DOJ said. “Rinderknecht walked up the same trail from earlier that night to watch the fire and the firefighters.”

I gave up after a few episodes of this show, but he was cute. What an idiot.

In 1992, her husband, William Jefferson Clinton, became the 42nd President of the United States. A few years after that he cheated on her again and she was able to ride the ensuing wave of sympathy into the U.S. Senate against a weak Republican opponent in an overwhelmingly Democratic state.

In the Senate, she was wildly known as a good listener with an excellent attendance record.

She is Hillary Rodham Clinton.

I only came to realize her existence a few hours ago when I was looking through random French songs on Youtube and saw her performance.

Wow. She was gorgeous when she was young and still looks good today. However, it seems like she doesn't have a real career in France and people just laugh at her. She looks like Angelina Jolie and Vanessa Paradis mixed together. Easily the most beautiful French woman I've ever seen, after Vanessa Paradis.

thank you for your attention to this matter.

Ask me anything

She teaches you which hole to put your finger in and what a "busy signal" sounds like.

I tried to search, but couldn't find a thread on this New York City–based HBO juggernaut.

The series follows four inseparable Manhattan gals: a horseface with god-awful fashion sense, a voluptuous libertine, a WASP princess, and a dykey redhead.

Thoughts?

Carry on, bitches!

Calling it now. Best Film Oscar. Likely Best Director.

I think that this one will have it all and massively exceed all expectations.

Its a Directors Film as well.

I don't think Hamnet or Sinners or Sentimental Value can win over this one.

I work for a semi large Nationally chartered bank. Over the last couple years the lines between your personal and work life are getting fewer. We have to attest and disclose to any outside activities we have, political parties we belong to, social media sites we post at etc. The Wi-Fi at the office is so locked down you can even get your personal email. AI screens all of our emails and even our teams chats. God forbid we say in a Teams chat "I'll text you after this meeting" within minutes the corporate Gestapo in IT and the "Ethics Office" wants to know what you meant by that! Usually the person means they will IM the colleague on Teams after this meeting is over. We are constantly subjected to online tests and training about conflicts of interests, basically saying the bank owns you. It's getting crazy. Can't blame Trump as this shit was escalating before he was elected. Anyone else seeing this type of stuff in the workplace? It's borderline slavery IMO.

And I’m suooosed to fly on Friday — first time I’ve flown in six years. Lol

Starting this thread because today I discovered that Bobby Caldwell isn’t black. Apparently everyone knew but me haha. For decades I had even assumed What You Won’t Do For Love was by Stevie Wonder. (In my defence it’s a pretty straight homage, much like how Van Morrison and Steve Winwood aped Ray Charles’ phrasings). But full credit, Caldwell played all those instruments too. What a phenomenal voice.

The full trailer is here and I’m shaking with anticipation!

Every guy dancing at the swingin' beach party is GAY, GAY, GAY.

I get it, you're thrilled the 20 remaining Israeli hostages ALLEGEDLY will be released. But to go on and on about how "unprecedented" it is how Trump is kicking Bebe's ass is a bit much.

Especially as at the same time that man is DESTROYING this country. Are any of the remaining hostages American?

Because if/when they return they will NOT recognize the country they left only two years ago.

And fuck a Nobel Peace Prize if Trump gets one. Hell, Jesse Jackson got many hostages freed from various foreign despots, and he doesn't have one.

I’ll start.

Donald Trump declared he plans to send the National Guard into Chicago after the city experienced a violent Labor Day weekend.

“We’re going in,” Trump said during a briefing at the Oval Office on Sept. 2. “I didn’t say when.”

"Look, I have an obligation," the president told reporters. "This isn't a political thing. I have an obligation."

Former FBI Director James Comey is expected to be indicted on criminal charges in the coming days in federal court in Virginia, MSNBC reported.

The expected indictment comes on the heels of a top prosecutor resigning under pressure after opposing the filing of charges against Comey, who for years has been a target of President Donald Trump's ire.

"I want the fans and public to hear directly from me that, unfortunately, I will need to postpone my upcoming Las Vegas concerts. As many of you know, I have been dealing with some health challenges, and my doctors tell me that I must have a few procedures. As I joked with them, it must be time for my 100,000-mile check-up, although it's not the usual trip to see my plastic surgeon! In all seriousness, given this, I am not going to be able to rehearse and put together the show that I want you to see, and the show that you deserve to see. You pay good money to see me perform, and I want to be at my best for you.

While I'll still be able to work on all of my projects from here in Nashville, I just need a little time to get show ready, as they say.

Despite measures to continue operations and preserve pending contracts with libraries, the book distributor Baker & Taylor (B&T), a longtime fixture in the library technology industry, will shutter.

B&T, founded in 1828, was considered one of the largest distributors of print and audiovisual materials for libraries, serving more than 4,000 institutional customers and employing more than 900 people. In addition to its role as a distributor of materials, the company offered Customized Library Services for shelf-ready materials, the BTCat cataloging utility, and a variety of other products and services for libraries and publishers. After changing hands a handful of times since 1970, B&T had been owned since 2021 by an investment group led by Kochar.

The company’s recent challenges included a major cyberattack in 2022 that interrupted B&T’s services, as well as downturns in library orders because of the pandemic. Earlier this year, the company’s main creditor, CIT Northbridge Credit LLC, declared the loans that supported the company’s operations in default. When the sale to ReaderLink was announced last month, the deal included only B&T’s assets, not its outstanding debts. Publishers Weekly spoke to several publishers and suppliers who said they had unsettled invoices with B&T, and were not sure how those debts might be repaid.

This business closure represents an extraordinarily disruptive event for public libraries, which will have lost one of their major channels for acquiring materials. Many publishers will also have to scramble to establish arrangements with other distributors and risk losses of inventory held in B&T warehouses.

I just received a notice of settlement from this lawsuit. It also says it's going to my PayPal account, as that was my preference. I don't remember ANY of this.

Billionaire and serial sexual harasser Steve Wynn has a gay stepson named Nick Hissom. Hissom has hooked up with OnlyFans star Reno Gold and Steve is reportedly not happy. Frankly, I often wondered about Wynn because of his love of musical theater.

As the Supreme Court on Oct. 8 discussed a woman’s claim that postal workers conducted a two-year campaign of racial harassment against her, one justice raised concerns about allowing lawsuits like hers to move forward. “What will the consequences be if all these suits are filed and they have to be litigated?” Justice Samuel Alito asked. “Is the cost of a first-class letter going to be $3 now?” The crux of the issue is whether the immunity Congress gave the U.S. Postal Service for mail delivery problems covers mere mistakes or also acts alleged to be intentional.
