Every adolescent/teen girl and gay boy in the early 2000s knew this film (and was probably in love with Jesse Bradford—I know I was). I rewatched it recently and found that it has held up extremely well—it's an excellent comedy and "feel good" entertainment in the truest sense of the word. The script is witty and there are so many funny moments throughout. As far as teen comedies of this era go, I cannot think of a better one.

Apparently, this was shunted from Max to Netflix earlier this year. It's technically a spinoff of Doom Patrol, although the leads were recast. The comic it's based on is a Sandman spinoff, and Neil Gaiman has said one of the Endless (I assume Kirby Howell-Baptiste's Death, although he was vague) will show up.
Jayden Revri who plays Rowland (who was played by DL Icon Sebastian Croft on Doom Patrol) gives some baby gay vibes, and DL Icon Lukas Gage has a recurring role.

‘Hello, I’m Shelley Duvall’ Despite her decades’ long disappearance, Ms. Duvall’s filmography has thrived. Instagram users regularly source new Shelley material from an apparently bottomless archival trove.
“Hello, I’m Shelley Duvall,” a line Ms. Duvall would utter as she presented each episode of “Faerie Tale Theatre,” is sampled ad nauseam in posts. Yet there are no books, no documentaries, no star on the Walk of Fame. Seemingly dismissed and forgotten by the filmmaking establishment, she has become a cult figure for the quirky, the alternative and the misunderstood — and they seem to want to protect her, and her legacy.

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

Beauty, elegance, and not being Audrey Hepburn made her an international star.
Her screen career was short but legendary: High Noon, The Country Girl, Dial M for Murder, Rear Window, To Catch a Thief, The Swan, and High Society. Then, at the height of her career she became a literal princess when she married Rainer III, Prince of Monaco.
As Princess of Monaco, she focused on bringing ballet, opera, fashion, and horticulture to the People of Monaco. She was also the first female board member of 20th Century Fox, an author on both poetry and horticulture, and she sought to historically restore Newport, Rhode Island.
However, tragedy struck in 1982 when she suffered a cerebral hemorrhage while driving and drove off a mountain at the age of 52.

Jennifer Aniston is ready to pour herself a cup of ambition.
Aniston and her Echo Films partner Kristin Hahn are producing a “9 to 5” reimagining for 20th Century Studios, Variety has confirmed.
The film is currently in development, with Diablo Cody (“Juno,” “Lisa Frankenstein”) working on the latest draft of the “9 to 5” reimagining. Plot details are being kept under wraps.
The original “9 to 5” follows three female office colleagues who decide to exact revenge on their sexist, egotistical boss. Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, Dolly Parton and Dabney Coleman starred in the 1980 office satire, directed by Colin Higgins and written by Patricia Resnick. The hit comedy film spawned a sitcom of the same name, which aired on ABC from 1982 to 1983, and in first-run syndication from 1986 to 1988. Parton, Tomlin and Fonda participated in the 2022 documentary “Still Working 9 to 5,” which focuses on the impact of the classic film 40 years later.

Barbra Streisand, who turns 82 on April 24, will release her first single in 6 years the day after her birthday. Streisand announced this week she has recorded "Love Will Survive" for the last scene / end credits of the Peacock /Sky series ‘The Tattooist of Auschwitz’, a six part series which premieres May 2. Streisand said she wants the last scene 'to be memorable'.
“Because of the rise in antisemitism around the world today, I wanted to sing ‘Love Will Survive’ in the context of this series, as a way of remembering the six-million souls who were lost less than 80 years ago. And also to say that even in the darkest of times, the power of love can triumph and endure,” Streisand said in a statement.
The song “Love Will Survive” is produced by Walter Afanasieff and Peter Asher, with Streisand, Jay Landers and Russell Emanuel executive producing.

It made sense for American college students to protest the Vietnam War in the late 1960s and early 1970s because some among them were being drafted to fight in an unpopular war. But what in the end do American college students ahve to do with the Israel-Hamas War? How significant is the investment of most colleges and universities in the Israeli government? Would divestment really make all that big of a difference to Israel's financial health?
Students are protesting on their campuses because it's a very safe way to make displeasure with global politics heard, but it's ultimately pretty meaningless. It becomes a distraction for both the American left and (particularly) the right, so they can wring their hands over the state of post-secondary education in the US today. It helps no one in the Middle East.

"And I'm like, 'So, Andy, what's the answer?'” she continued. "He was like, 'Ehh, I don't know. You and the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills? I can't see it.'"

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

I was in elementary and middle school during its best seasons, so a lot went over my head. Rewatching it now, I'm struck by how at its best, the show was in a class of its own -- infinitely funnier and , at times, more moving than the average 90s sitcom. Many episodes feel like these touching, funny slice-of-life one-act plays. The Conners felt like a real family. And, what I didn't recognize or appreciate when I was a kid, is how progressive the show was. It's such a shame that she became such a right wing lunatic in the past decade.

Madonna's attorneys on Thursday filed a motion to dismiss a lawsuit against the pop superstar for starting a concert two hours late, arguing the plaintiffs didn't demonstrate any clear injuries, court documents show.
Plaintiffs Michael Fellows and Jonathan Hadden filed the lawsuit earlier this year after attending one of Madonna's global Celebration Tour shows in Brooklyn in December, alleging they were "misled" by the 8:30 p.m. advertised start time.
They also sued Barclays Center and Live Nation for "wanton exercise in false advertising, negligent misrepresentation, and unfair and deceptive trade practices."
The plaintiffs argued they wouldn't have purchased tickets if they'd known the concert was going to start at 10:30 p.m. They also claimed the show's end time of about 1 a.m. possibly inconvenienced or injured concertgoers as a result of limited transportation options and being forced to stay up later than planned.
Madonna's lawyers argued that concerts rarely start on time, and that hers in particular are well known for their late starts. They also pointed out that Hadden posted on Facebook the day after that concert that he had "never missed a Madonna Tour" and that he later told CNN he had "been to every Madonna tour since 1985," making it clear the late start time couldn't have come as a surprise, the motion read.
According to the court documents, Hadden also praised the show on Facebook, calling it "[i]ncredible, as always!"
"Mr. Hadden's press interviews at best suggest he may be irritated that one of his favorite acts takes the stage later than he would prefer," the lawyers said, arguing that this was not sufficient grounds for a claim of injury.
Madonna's lawyers also alleged there was no proof the late start time injured any concertgoers, including the plaintiffs, who they argued stayed to watch the whole show instead of leaving early.
"Fans got just what they paid for: a full-length, high-quality show by the Queen of Pop," Madonna's lawyers said.
January's lawsuit wasn't the first time fans tried to take action over Madonna's late start time. In 2019, a Florida fan sued over Madonna's delayed start in Miami Beach.
"There's something that you all need to understand," Madonna told her fans during a Las Vegas concert in 2019. "And that is, that a queen is never late."

Work began on Bad Girls in December 1978, with the singer teaming up with Moroder and Bellotte once more. The sessions, which spanned four months, were prolific. Instead of following the usual album-making approach of writing, demoing, and then recording a final version, the team would come up with ideas for melodies and hooks, flesh them out into full songs and then hit the booth immediately to record them.
“As soon as I was done with the mix of one song, we went right in and recorded,” Moroder explained in the liner notes of Bad Girls’ deluxe reissue in 2003. “While I was recording Donna… Pete would be recording a basic track for another song. But we had our sounds; we were on a roll. Donna is a great artist, very easy to work with. She could complete two or three songs a day, easily, without straining her voice or getting tired.”
After just one week of release, it was certified platinum by the RIAA. It topped the Billboard 200 for six weeks and the R&B Albums chart for three. It also spawned two Billboard Hot 100 No.1 singles – “Hot Stuff” and the title track – and one No.2, “Dim All The Lights.” Summer became the first female artist to have two songs in the Top Three of the Hot 100 at one time. Later, the album was listed in Rolling Stone’s 50 greatest albums by women, with the publication saying that Summer “pull[ed] out all the stops for an album that sums up Seventies radio, from ladies-choice smooch jams to filthy funk.”

San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan's security detail got involved in a physical altercation while he was downtown for a restaurant opening.
The altercation broke out while Mahan was getting interviewed by local news station KRON 4. The entire interaction was captured on video.
In the beginning of the video, the pedestrian is seen walking by Mahan's right shoulder, talking on the phone as he approaches the security detail.
The mayor politely tells the man that he is in the middle of an interview, to which the pedestrian said, 'Yeah man, I work right there, I was just talking on the phone, you got a problem?'
Mahan's security detail, an officer for the San Jose Police Department, tried deescalating the situation as the pedestrian became more aggressive.
The pedestrian snaps at the officer, telling him to 'mind your f*****g business.'
“I was going to do what the f**k I was going to do right before you walked up to me,” he said to the security guard.
From there, the situation escalated, turning physical in a matter of seconds. The pedestrian threatened the officer, telling him he would smack him.
The brawl continued as the pedestrian landed a right-hand punch to the officer's head.
Bystanders called the police for backup, and the pedestrian was eventually detained.
The officer involved in the altercation suffered an injury and was taken to the hospital, where he stayed overnight with head and neck pain.

I remember enjoying this movie as a young teenager and had not seen it in years. I had a friend who owned the unrated version on DVD which had the ridiculous "Penis Song" scene in it, which was always memorable. I've been on a nostalgia kick lately and am revisiting a lot of these early 2000s comedies, so I decided it was time to watch this again. I was surprised by how terrible it actually is. The cast is great (Cameron Diaz, Christina Applegate, Selma Blair) and while there are many funny moments to be had, the entire movie feels like a bunch of disjointed gags strung together. No cohesion. Very ridiculous. Also very entertaining. In summary: Entertaining trash.

Cops said they were called to a downtown hotel room on Feb. 7 at the citizenM Miami Worldcenter, where the 41-year-old Paolo Liuzzo was discovered and pronounced dead at 3:34 p.m.
An official cause of death is yet to be released, but Miami cops said his death is being “investigated as an overdose death.” Cops did not say whether foul play was suspected or not.
Insiders told The Sun that Liuzzo, who began dating Beatrice in 2005 when she was 17 and he was 24, had long struggled with drugs and had plunged into a “vicious cycle” of gambling-related debt.

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito complained Thursday about the concept that a "special" former officeholder like Donald Trump could be expected to be "subject to the criminal laws just like anybody else."
Alito made the remarks to special counsel attorney Michael Dreeben during oral arguments in Trump's presidential immunity appeal to the high court. Trump's attorneys had argued the former president could not be charged with election interference because the office gave him immunity.
Dreeben, however, asserted Trump could be charged for trying to subvert the election.
"Well, Mr. Dreeben, do you really, I mean, the presidents have to make a lot of tough decisions about enforcing the law, and they have to make decisions about questions that are unsettled, and they have to make decisions based on the information that's available," Alito said.
"Do you really, did I understand you to say, well, you know, if he makes a mistake, he makes a mistake. He's subject to the criminal laws just like anybody else?"
"You don't think he's in a special, a peculiarly precarious position?" the justice asked.
"He's in a special position for a number of reasons," Dreeben explained. "One is that he has access to legal advice about everything that he does."
"He's under a constitutional obligation to, he's supposed to be faithful to the laws of the United States and the Constitution of the United States, and making a mistake is not what lands you in a criminal prosecution," he continued, noting that Trump was accused of interfering with "the certification of the next president."
Alito said he didn't want to argue the specifics of Trump's case.
"It's difficult to think of a more critical function than the certification of who won the election," Dreeben observed.
"You know, I'm not, as I said, I'm not discussing the particular facts of this case, but it applies to any fraud that interferes seriously with any government operation, right?"
"So what the government needs to show is an intent to impede, interfere, or defeat a lawful government function by deception," Dreeben explained. "These are not the kinds of activities that I think any of us would think a president needs to engage in in order to fulfill his Article Two duties and, particularly in a case like this one."

I just don’t get Taylor Swift. There, I said it. It’s freeing to just … not care about something, isn’t it? When friends start to wax poetic about the Eras Tour or their favorite Taylor Swift song, I listen politely as if they were talking about professional darts or French cinema, and a feeling of peace washes over me.
However, the days of Taylor Swift as an ultimate cultural barometer may be waning. While Swift fans were thrilled with the release of her new double-length album (again, good for them!), critical reception was more mixed. Following the feverish media whirlwind of “The Eras Tour” and her impact on the NFL, people seem ready to talk about Swift in tones more tempered than slavering ardor or hardened, pointless hatred.
If you don’t love Taylor Swift, if you don’t hate her; if she is simply not something that affects your life whatsoever, it’s probably safe to come out now. Go, take your apathy, and be free.

According to police, the old man had been contacted that day by phone scammers claiming they had kidnapped a relative of his and would kill them unless Gramps paid a ransom. Around the same time, someone (perhaps the same scammer) requested an Uber package pickup at the old man's house. The job was claimed by 61 year-old Lo-Letha Hall, who showed up minutes later to pick up the package she was sent to retrieve. When she arrived, Old Fart pulled an ancient pistol on her, accusing her of being in cahoots with the scammers. He grabbed her phone and held her at gunpoint. When she tried to flee back to her car, he blew her away. The whole thing was captured on the woman's dashcam.
He's being charged with murder, and will likely spend the rest of his life in prison. Senile degenerate.

I don't have a Tesla, so I wondered how the FSD (Full Self Driving) feature was working in it since Tesla is supposed to be introducing Robotaxis in August.
This is a video of the latest release of the software and it looks rather amazing. Even if it really won't be ready this year, you can see where all this is going. Will the AI software eventually be a better driver than a potentially distracted human driver?
The driver in this video is using FSD to drive through a road construction site in San Francisco. The driver is really enthusiastic about this updated software (which may be irritating to some), but he explains that last year he would consider the software "the worst driver on the road." It apparently has really improved.
If you look at the display behind his steering wheel, you'll see what the FSD software sees: cartoonish representations of cars, trucks, people and other obstacles as they move about the road.

Harvard Kennedy School’s Institute of Politics recently released its Spring 2024 poll of young voters 18 to 29 years old and offered some surprising findings regarding the 2024 election and how young people view the Israel-Hamas conflict.Of the 16 issues polled, “Israel/Palestine” ranked as the 15th most important compared to the others – only viewed as more important than student debt.
Inflation, Healthcare, Housing, Gun Violence, and Jobs ranked as the top five most important issues – in that order. “The only issue time that inflation did not win its individual match-up was when it was paired with women’s reproductive rights. Women’s reproductive rights was considered the more important issue, 57% to 43%,” noted the poll.
In terms of how Israel has prosecuted its war against Hamas, a plurality was unsure whether or not Israel had “gone too far.”
“When young Americans are asked whether or not they believe Israel’s response so far to the October 7 attack by Hamas has been justified, a plurality indicates that they don’t know (45%). About a fifth (21%) report that Israel’s response was justified with 32% believing it was not justified.
The poll found that Biden’s approval rating among young voters was at 31 percent overall. On the Israel-Hamas conflict, Biden landed at a dismal 18 percent approval and at 30 percent on the economy in general. Biden still leads Trump by 8 points among all young Americans and 19 points among those who are likely voters, which is down from 30 points at the same time in 2020.

Video of a drag queen in Massachusetts leading a group of young kids to chant “Free Palestine” has sparked fierce backlash — with some calling it “indoctrination” that is “wrong on every level.”
The encounter, which unfolded at a “Queer Storytime for Palestine” event organized by the Valley Families for Palestine group in Amherst last week, had gone viral by Thursday as outrage mounted.
“Today what we’re going to do is shout ‘Free Palestine.’ Can I hear that?” the drag queen, known as “Lil Miss Hot Mess,” was filmed telling the children in the 30-second clip.
“If you’re a drag queen and you know it, and you really want to show it, if you’re a drag queen and you know it, shout ‘Free Palestine.'”
The kids could be heard mimicking the drag queen by repeatedly chanting, “Free Palestine.”
Furious critics were quick to point out the hypocrisy of a drag queen touting the phrase given the harsh treatment of LGBTQ people in Gaza.
“The harsh reality? Members of the LGBTQ+ community are often murdered in Gaza and other Palestinian areas such as Ramallah,” Stop Antisemitism tweeted alongside the recording.
“Often times members of the LGBTQ+ community seek refuge in Israel as their lives are endangered and their families excommunicate them. Were these children taught these points?”
Others, too, piled on.
“An indoctrination double whammy: ‘Free Palestine’ meets ‘drag queen story hour,'” Eitan Fischberger, a former Israel Defense Forces sergeant, tweeted.
“If people can’t see that drag queens teaching kids to chant ‘Free Palestine’ is wrong on every level, then they seriously are part of the problem,” British TV host and politician Nigel Farage raged in a post on X.
Meanwhile, Jake Wallis Simons, the editor of the Jewish Chronicle, quipped: “Seriously. Yahya Sinwar, Putin, Xi and the Ayatollah are laughing so hard (and sharpening their knives).”
“Drag Queen Story Hour somehow just got worse,” the Citizen Free Press declared.
The organizers of the event had earlier shared a slew of photos on an Instagram account of the young children and their parents watching and smiling as the drag queen performed for them.
The group also boasted of the “important lessons” the kids learned during the storytime event.
“We came together today in joy and solidarity and learned some important lessons about being ourselves, using our voices to speak out against injustice, and being fabulous while we do it,” a caption on the post read.
Valley Families for Palestine and the drag queen didn’t immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment about the backlash.

"One Tree Hill" alum Sophia Bush is opening up about finding new love with former soccer player Ashlyn Harris.
"I didn't expect to find love in this support system. I don't know how else to say it other than: I didn't see it until I saw it," wrote Bush in her cover story with Glamour that was published Thursday.
Bush filed for divorce from husband Grant Hughes on Aug. 4, 2023, noting the date of separation as June 27, 2023 -- just over one year after they tied the knot on June 11, 2022. Bush cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split.
Bush explained how friends in her support group, which was formed to help each other through the life change, began to point out the obvious compatibility forming between her and Harris. Harris filed for divorce from her ex-wife, former professional soccer player Ali Krieger, in September 2023.
"It really took other people in our safe support bubble pointing out to me how we'd finish each other's sentences or be deeply affected by the same things," she wrote.
After much consideration, Bush said she finally asked Harris to spend time individually.
"It took me confronting a lot of things, what felt like countless sessions of therapy, and some prodding from loved ones, but eventually I asked Ashlyn to have a non-friend-group hang to talk about it," wrote Bush.

15 years ago, in the early morning hours of April 25, 2009, Emmy winning actress Be Arthur passed away from lung cancer at her Los Angeles home. She was 86 years old, and died just a few weeks before her 87th birthday (May 13). Her remains were cremated, and given to a family member. Arthur was the second cast member of the hit NBC sitcom "The Golden Girls" to die, less than a year after actress Estelle Getty, who died in July, 2008.

He definitely surprised the crowd. In oversized cargo pants, a sweatshirt that swallowed his thin frame and a baseball cap pulled down low, Justin Bieber joined Tems for a song during her Coachella set in Indio, California, on April 14.
“He looked like he just stepped out of the audience,” a witness says of the singer, who has only performed sporadically since canceling his Justice tour after a viral infection caused partial face paralysis in June 2022. “It’s a good sign he felt comfortable enough to get on stage, and a lot of fans are hoping this means he’ll be making his music comeback soon.”
But judging by his erratic behavior offstage, they may have a while to wait. It’s been exactly one year since Justin regained mobility in his face, but “he’s still fragile and seemed checked-out all weekend,” a source says of the singer, who has a history of substance abuse and violent rages. “He finally got his health back, but now friends are worried that he’s spiraling again.”
The past few years have been a roller coaster.
“He has severe ups and downs,” says the source.
Justin, 30, has struggled with Lyme disease, depression and anger management, and has also admitted to daily use of alcohol, marijuana and “pretty heavy drugs” during his lowest points.

Donald Trump, if you take it from him, is cherishing the opportunity to stand trial on criminal charges related to a hush-money payment to a porn star. “I’m very proud to be here,” he told reporters before heading into court on Monday, calling the proceedings an “assault on America” that his presence, presumably, would serve to expose. “I’m very honored to be here,” the former president added.
Trump hasn’t been taking to martyrdom very well behind the scenes, though, three sources with knowledge of the matter tell Rolling Stone. He has privately raged over everything from reports that he can’t stop dozing off, to how the court sketch artist is rendering him, to late-night talk show hosts joking about his legal troubles. The former president is reaching levels of fury over the judicial process and all it entails that are “maxed out, even for him,” says one source who has had to personally endure Trump’s recent rantings about his trial.
The presumptive 2024 Republican presidential nominee has a lengthy track record of getting volcanically angry, and often allowing his rage to dictate political, legal, and policy decisions. But with the historic first criminal trial of an American president now underway, his public and private wrath has become particularly multi-faceted, and sustained to the point that longtime confidants have taken notice.

Right wingnuts are furious at Pete Buttigieg again. This time they’re upset with him for, wait for it, making it easier for travelers to get refunds on canceled flights.
The 42-year-old Transportation Secretary just announced new federal rules that say airline customers are entitled to automatic cash refunds, not vouchers or travel credits, whenever an airline screws up.
“From now on, when your flight is canceled for any reason, you are entitled to an automatic cash refund and it has to be prompt,” he told CNN today.
“If you get delayed significantly, that means three hours domestically, six hours internationally, or if there’s another significant change to your itinerary–like maybe you were going to go into one airport, they actually changed the airport on you or something like that–you’re going to get your money back.”
Sounds fair to us!
The new rules also require airlines are more transparent about about fees for baggage, seating upgrades, or changing flights (a.k.a. “junk fees”), as well as issue refunds on fees for bags that arrive more than 12 hours late on domestic flights or 15 to 30 hours late on international flights. Refunds must also be issued for in-flight WiFi fees if the internet goes down mid-flight, and upgraded seat fees if the seats are no longer available at boarding time.
In other words, airlines will actually have to provide the goods and services they charge people for. Also, no more hidden fees!

Scotland's devolved lawmakers are set to confirm Humza Yousaf as the new first minister on Tuesday, after he narrowly won the contest to succeed Nicola Sturgeon as Scottish National Party (SNP) leader.
Yousaf beat out two SNP rivals Monday to clinch the party's top job, vowing to rejuvenate its signature policy of pursuing independence for Scotland which has stalled in recent months.
The 37-year-old will be the youngest first minister since devolution created the Scottish parliament in 1999, and the first leader of a national UK party from a minority ethnic background.
"We should all take pride in the fact that today we have sent a clear message that your colour of skin, or your faith, is not a barrier to leading the country we all call home," Yousaf said after winning the SNP leadership race.
Promising to be a leader "for all of Scotland", he pledged to "kickstart" a civic movement that would "ensure our drive for independence is in fifth gear".
"We will be the generation that delivers independence for Scotland," he declared in his victory speech.
Members of the Scottish Parliament (MSPs) will vote to confirm a new first minister at lunchtime, with Yousaf ensured of succeeding Sturgeon given the SNP is the largest party.
He will then be sworn in at a ceremony Wednesday.
The seismic shift in Scottish politics follows Sturgeon's surprise resignation announcement last month after more than eight years at the helm.
The 52-year-old said she was quitting because she felt unable to give "every ounce of energy" to the job.
But it followed a difficult period for her government, during which support for independence has slipped.
Recent surveys show around 45 percent of Scots support Scotland leaving the United Kingdom -- the same tally recorded in a 2014 referendum which London insists settles the matter for a generation.
Yousaf said Monday he would continue Sturgeon's policy of pushing the Conservative government there to allow another vote.
That was immediately rebuked in London, with Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's spokesman telling reporters that the new SNP leader should focus on economic and policy issues "that matter" to Scottish voters.
"That's what the (UK) government will be focused on," the spokesman noted.
Yousaf, who was health minister in Sturgeon's last cabinet, narrowly topped the SNP contest with 52 percent of members' preferentially ranked votes.
During campaigning, he argued the party needs to create a better vision for an independent Scotland.
Despite ultimately emerging victorious, he attracted criticism over his record in several roles in government.
He now faces a bigger challenge to win over the wider Scottish electorate, with a UK general election expected within the next 18 months.
According to Ipsos polling, Yousaf enjoys a favourable opinion among just 22 percent of voters.
Despite winning a succession of elections under Sturgeon, the SNP could also be in need of a boost following the divisive three-way leadership battle.
Sturgeon's last months in power were also overshadowed by the backlash to a new law allowing anyone over 16 to change their gender without a medical diagnosis.
The law would have allowed a transgender woman who was convicted of rape before she began transitioning to serve a prison sentence in a women-only facility.
As debate raged, the UK government used an unprecedented veto to block the legislation.
The UK Supreme Court last year also ruled that Sturgeon's government could not hold a new referendum on sovereignty without London's approval.
The twin setbacks prompted rare criticism of Sturgeon's leadership and tactics.

Watters is the product of a Quaker education. Born in Philadelphia, he attended William Penn Charter School, the oldest Quaker school in the world. The school emphasizes Quaker values — empathy for others and an appreciation for people from diverse racial, socioeconomic and religious backgrounds. Watters’ father and mother, Stephen and Anne, clearly believed in the school’s mission: They served as director of the middle school and director of lower school admissions, respectively.
When Watters was in high school, the family moved to Long Island, New York, where his father got a job as headmaster at The Green Vale School, an exclusive private school that runs through eighth grade, and his mother got a job as director of admissions. The Watters family lived on campus, but Watters was too old for Green Vale, so his parents sent him to nearby Friends Academy, another prestigious Quaker school attended by many Green Vale graduates.
Even before Watters’ first day at the school, there were signs he would follow a different path.
As part of the application process, Watters visited for something of a tryout, one of Watters’ former classmates recalled. “It was a school that a lot of people got rejected from,” said the classmate. “You kind of understood that if you were there for the day, you had to present yourself a certain way.”
But when class began on the day of his tryout, the gregarious Watters suddenly put his head down on his desk, the classmate said. It was a small class and a small room, and he was right in front of the teacher. But he didn’t appear to care, and it didn’t matter either. He got in.
“Obviously as the headmaster of Green Vale’s son, he was never going to be rejected,” said the classmate.
Watters repeated his junior year during his first year at Friends Academy, which Fox News explained was because of his family’s move from Philadelphia to Long Island. Once there, he immediately made his presence felt. He liked to debate the best way to wear the collar of a polo shirt, his friend Michael Shlofmitz said over email. Others said he would joke about his “hippie” parents, and people described him as friendly and charismatic. He played football and lacrosse. Parents generally liked him.
“He was surprisingly popular,” a second former classmate said.
But Watters was far from a star student, and he could occasionally display a shamelessness his peers found jarring. At one of his friend’s parties, Watters was told there was only one rule: Don’t go into Dad’s bedroom. He did anyway, and stuck chewing gum on the wall and left a burned hole in the carpet, according to two people who were there.
When the father found out, he chased Watters out of the house. “I would have killed him if I had caught him, he was so disrespectful,” the father said. (Watters denied the incident ever took place.)
Watters was often dismissive of authority figures, teachers included, multiple classmates said. “He wasn’t very troubled by shame,” the first high school classmate said.
“It was instantly recognizable, the sort of entitlement, the flippancy, the sort of ego-driven smile,” a third high school classmate said.
Watters’ time at Friends Academy was cut short his senior year after he and a friend got in trouble for leaving campus during school hours. But the school did not formally suspend or expel Watters. Instead, it allowed him to spend his final semester interning at a publishing company while still receiving his diploma on time.
Classmates wondered whether Watters’ father’s influence at The Green Vale School, which fed many students into Friends Academy each year, helped him and his friend avoid harsher punishment. “With his father being in that position of power, I don’t know if he ever had to deal with consequence,” the second classmate said.
The situation was part of a familiar pattern for Watters. “He was just one of those people,” said the third classmate, “that just sort of sailed through life.”

Was shot at in her bathtub.
…
“Living with DaVita catalyzed some personality changes in her,” the authors write. “She developed a foul mouth to match his own and those of his hoodlum friends.”
Later, while auditioning for roles in Times Square under the stage names Montana Ball and Diane Belmont before settling on her given name, she scrounged to survive, including partaking in nude modeling and turning the occasional trick. She often ate food left over by diners in local cafes, and brought a handbag with a plastic liner on dates so she could take home half-eaten steaks.
She was briefly cast in the popular theatrical revue “The Ziegfeld Follies,” but was fired after two weeks because, she was told, “You’ve got no tits, and you can’t dance.”
Distraught, she briefly considered a life as a gun moll for DaVita, thinking, “I could join Johnny on his liquor runs down from Canada, with the police chasing after us.”
She eventually found work as a model, and as she sought acting roles, received advice from Lela Rogers — mother of her good friend Ginger Rogers — that she would later follow.
“If you want to be a star within two years, get auditioned on the casting couch,” Lela told her. “That’s the advice I gave my own daughter.”
Becoming one of Manhattan’s most popular models, Ball was a regular at hot nightspots like the Cotton Club. She dated Albert “Cubby” Broccoli, who would go on to produce the James Bond films, then spent time with his cousin, Pat DiCicco.
DiCicco, a rumored associate of Lucky Luciano, would later marry film star Thelma Todd and heiress Gloria Vanderbilt. Ball told friends at the time that she had hoped to marry him, and confided to actress Joan Blondell, “Pat taught me tricks in bed I think he learned in a brothel in Shanghai.”
But her association with gangsters almost had dire consequences. Dancing in Harlem one night, she suddenly sensed danger, grabbed a friend’s hand and ran from the club. The man she was afraid of wound up gunning a man down.
And while staying at Manhattan’s Kimberly Hotel, she was taking a bath one night and “while she was soaking in the tub, she was fired upon and the bathtub was riddled with bullets,” the authors write. “Miraculously, she escaped injury, but the room downstairs was flooded.”
For Ball, it was a matter of practicality. “I’ve resisted so far, but other gals like Joan Crawford did all right,” Ball told a friend. “At a party one night, I heard her tell some people that the casting couch was better than the cold hard floor.” After sleeping with Cohn, Ball began to get cast in better movies. But her career still evolved slowly, as she was repeatedly told by casting agents and others that she had no talent for acting, and was not large-breasted enough to become a sex symbol.

That seems like a reasonable consequence to me. Clearly it's unacceptable to use homophobic slurs (he's reported to have said "faggot") while playing and there has to be some consequences otherwise others will think it's OK.
However, what disappointed me is how many supporters thought the three-game suspension was too extreme of a punishment. Most seem to think it's normal to trade insults on the pitch and that homophobic slurs aren't a problem. I know sport gets a homophobic reputation, but I had thought it was overstated in the past. However, the reaction to this incident showed it's likely a majority hold homophobic views.
It's no wonder there's huge reluctance for professional sports players of pretty much any sport to come out, even in countries that most would think are more accepting.

On Earth Day chef Mollie Engelhart took to social media with an announcement that rocked L.A.’s vegan community: Her pillar of plant-based dining, Sage Vegan Bistro, would become Sage Regenerative Kitchen & Brewery and begin serving meat and dairy.
Following a vegan diet, the chef-owner said, is no longer enough to combat climate change, so the new iteration of Sage will focus on sourcing and proselytizing regenerative farming practices. That, along with years of post-pandemic financial losses, moved Engelhart to introduce beef, bison, cheese and eggs from regenerative farms into her Echo Park, Culver City and Pasadena restaurants.
The backlash on social media was swift. More than 3,000 comments have poured in, some calling it “a sham,” “deeply disturbing,” “a bummer announcement,” “a huge betrayal to animals,” “devastating,” a “horrific transition” and “profit disguised as environmental progress.” Dozens of vegan and animal-wellness organizations and influencers have shared the news, some calling for a boycott.
“I understand their passion and I understand their sadness and I understand their anger,” Engelhart told The Times. “I had the same views of the world that they did before I shifted my ideas based on my experience in farming, and I have compassion for what they're feeling. I hope that the vegan community and the regenerative community can really come together because I think they're both powerful, powerful pathways for change.
“It's vulnerable to publicly say, ‘I believed one thing, and maybe I was wrong and now I believe something else,’” she continued, “but I hope that it inspires people in their own lives to be willing to be open-minded when something else makes more sense to you.”

Kyle is cute too. His Irish accent makes him better looking than he actually is, though.
Speaking of Kyle and Ben, I am LOVING the shots in their cabin, where they keep exposing their bare asses to each other (and us)! On the show, Ben comes across as a total womanizer, but I swear, something about him is very gay. I especially loved the scene where he was rubbing lotion all over Kyle's back - all the way down to his exposed ass!
And the French Chef. He's tres gay, even though he is trying to pretend that he's straight.
I loved his hilarious story about how he got married at 26. Then his uncle offered his wife a job on a yacht as a Stewardess, and she never contacted him again. So he said now it's just him and his cat. Rofl!! Honey, your wife knows you're gay!

Now that she's been dead for a while I have to confess, I don't think she was a very good Queen. She was a cipher. People projected a lot, invested a lot in her outward behavior, but basically she seemed deeply ordinary. Nothing much to her at all. I don't miss her and in a way, I am embarrassed at how I was sucked in by the hype. The only true claim she can make is that she served longer than anyone else. I guess that's something. I was remembering what George V admonished his sons. "Without the mystery, the monarchy will die." He didn't want the people to become too familiar with them. But in Charles I feel like he is a much better king, already, than his late mother was. And Anne, Sophie Edward William and Catherine look much happier and enthusiastic about their duties. I'm certainly seeing more smiles from them and less formality. I will go so far as to say Elizabeth II was an old stick in the mud bound to tradition and stifling in her rigidity. I wish she had retired 20 years before she died.

School administrators in New Jersey are warning parents about another concerning social-media challenge that can put kids in danger.
Lynn Irby Hill, the principal at the South Orange Middle School in South Orange, sent out a letter to parents Tuesday about the "blackout challenge" becoming popular on TikTok.
The challenge involves students holding their breath until they pass out and there have been deaths reported as a result of kids participating in the challenge.
"These incidents are very scary and very avoidable. We will continue to warn our students about the dangers of the 'blackout challenge' and most, if not all, challenges promoted on social media," Hill said in the letter.
The school reported two incidents of students passing out.
Aid was rendered to one of the students by the school's nursing staff while the other had to be transported to the hospital after having difficulty breathing once they regained consciousness.
Hill asked parents to help by discussing the dangers associated with the social media challenge with their children at home.

One of a rare row of Gothic Revival townhouses, the house is the surviving residential half of Madison Place, originally a boulevarded triangle of which Bleecker Park also survives. Between 1965-1972, the area just beyond Bleeker Park to the Northeast was redeveloped as Empire State Plaza, part of Nelson Rockefeller's plan for a consolidated, modern state capital complex.
The house has 6776 square feet arranged over four floors with a high raised basement level, principal rooms on the raised main floor, then two floors of bedrooms and artist studio above. The house was restored in 2005 and has a great Gothic Revival facade which detailing continues throughout the main spaces of the raised ground floor.
The house next door to the right clearly had a nearly identical facade but for the oriel window at the 2nd floor above the main door; it's still recognizably Gothic Revival but you can see that the windows have been simplified and the cornice likely simplified as well (the oriel above its door is slightly different.)
The facade and the main floor are terrific. I don't mind the galley kitchen at all, in fact I think they are ideal for everyday use, but I would change the flooring to something better and replace the countertops in butcherblock probably, or marble. The succession of spaces living room--dining room--family room/breakfast nook is very good. Aside from repainting, I would repaint the gothic woodwork on the main floor and extending up through the stairhall: the reflectivity of the white loses a lot of the gothic detailing. The principal bedroom suite occupies all of the second floor. It's huge but aside from the front window nothing exceptional; removing all that wall-to-wall carpeting would improve the space. The top floor has four main spaces and a bathroom. Now used as extra bedrooms and artists studio, you could use the rooms as you please, and likewise the raised basement level which appears to be in use as an AirBnB type space with separate entrances front and back.
Google Streetview shows an alley and brick garage behind the house though this is not mentioned in the listing; perhaps subdivided from the original parcel? There is one photo of a pleasant brick patio at the rear. The listing describes the neighborhood as part of the 'Mansion Area" with Albany's downtown area on the other side of Bleecker Park..

A fantastic Italianate style brick house of 2720 square feet with 3-bedrooms and 3 baths that looks to be in great condition. The kitchen needs finishing off to taste (there is a nice ca. 1900 pantry it looks like). The detailing is handsome and well restored (though the woodwork was almost certainly painted originally.) The main rooms are very nice and the unusual glazed side porch (ca.1900) is fantastic and girded with radiators against, well, Troy. There's a large three-bay garage with tall loft space above and 8'brick walls (51'x 200' lot.)
The location though is nothing but a sinking feeling. The crime index is poor. Itś by far the most expensive old house in Troy for sale. There's a look of dread in the snaggletoothed blocks of scattered houses set amidst large gaps of green, many of which were presumably built upon at some more prosperous time.
But the house itself...

Taylor Swift’s new album The Tortured Poets Department was always destined to enjoy a massive welcome on streaming platforms. Less than a day after it was released, the set has already broken an important record—one which few could have predicted she’d shatter so quickly.
According to Billboard, The Tortured Poets Department has already earned the honor of being the album with the most streams in a single day on Spotify so far this year. The streaming platform confirmed the news to the music industry-focused outlet.
The report didn’t state a number of plays, but it must be massive. Before The Tortured Poets Department arrived, Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter stood as the title with the most streams in a single day. That project scored its lofty debut just a few weeks ago.

“ Another filmmaker might have subtracted himself in order to foreground the story, whereas Guadagnino goes big, leading with style (and a trendy score from Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross). In keeping with the athletic theme, he does all kinds of wild things with the camera, including a composition framed from the umpire’s perspective mid-court that zooms along the net to find Tashi in the crowd. Occasionally, she and other characters smack the fluorescent yellow balls directly at the screen, making us flinch in our seats. By the end, “Challengers” has assumed the ball’s POV — or maybe it’s the racket’s — as Guadagnino immerses audiences in the film’s climactic match.
Far from your typical sports movie, “Challengers” is less concerned with the final score than with the ever-shifting dynamic between the players. The pressure mounts and the perspiration pours, as the pair once known as “Fire and Ice” face off again. Whether audiences identify as Team Patrick or Team Art, Guadagnino pulls a risky yet effective trick, essentially scoring the winning shot himself.”

Billie Eilish spoke candidly about her sexuality in a new interview.
Back in December, she first discussed her sexual orientation in an interview with Variety, where she confirmed that she is attracted to women. "I've never really felt like I could relate to girls very well," she said. "I love them so much. I love them as people. I'm attracted to them as people. I'm attracted to them for real."
Then, shortly after the interview, she appeared on the red carpet for a Variety event and confirmed that she "came out" in the interview. She also expressed her amusement about how people didn't know she was attracted to women. "I kind of thought, 'Wasn’t it obvious?'" she said. "I didn’t realize people didn’t know. I just don’t really believe in it. I’m just like, 'Why can’t we just exist?' I’ve been doing this for a long time, and I just didn’t talk about it. Whoops."
This moment led to an even bigger media frenzy when Billie took to Instagram and accused Variety of "outing" her. "Thanks variety for my award and for also outing me on a red carpet at 11 am instead of talking about anything else that matters," she wrote.

Emma Stone is one of many actors whose well-known names are actually stage names.
If you didn't know, Emma's first name is Emily.
She had to change her name when earning her SAG card as there was already an actress named Emily Stone in the union.
While Emma's career has soared under her stage name (including winning her second Oscar earlier this year), those closest to her don't call her "Emma."
In fact, the actor recently revealed that using a stage name caused her to "freak out" a few years ago.
Emma and her The Curse costar Nathan Fielder spoke to the Hollywood Reporter in an interview published on Wednesday. Throughout the conversation, Nathan called Emma by the name "Emily," which prompted the publication to ask if anyone in the industry called her Emily.
"When I get to know them, people that I work with do. It's just because my name was taken [by another actress in SAG]," she said. "Then I freaked out a couple of years ago."
"For some reason, I was like, 'I can't do it anymore. Just call me Emily,'" she continued, noting Nathan also calls her "Em."
As for how if fans could greet her as Emily, Emma said, "That would be so nice. I would like to be Emily."

Donald Trump on Monday complained that he won't be able to attend his son Barron's high school graduation because he has to attend his New York criminal trial.
“As you know, my son has graduated from high school, and it looks like the judge will not let me go through the graduation of my son, who's worked very, very hard. He's a great student,” Trump said to reporters outside a New York courtroom. “He's very proud of the fact that he did so well and was looking forward for years to have graduation with his mother and father there.”
“It looks like the judge isn't going to allow me to escape this scam. It's a scam trial,” Trump said. “It's a political witch hunt.”

Good news for airline travelers: the Department of Transportation on Wednesday announced it is rolling out new rules that will require airlines to automatically give cash refunds to passengers for canceled and significantly delayed flights.
"This is a big day for America's flying public," said Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg at a Wednesday morning news conference. Buttigieg said the new rules — which require prompt refunds — are the biggest expansion of passenger rights in the department's history.
Airlines can now decide how long a delay must be before a refund is issued — however, these new rules define "significant" delay standards that trigger refunds. The delays covered would be more than three hours for domestic flights and more than six hours for international flights, the agency said.
DOT will also require airlines to give cash refunds if your bags are lost and not delivered within 12 hours.
The refunds must be issued within seven days, according to the new DOT rules, and must be in cash unless the passenger chooses another form of compensation. Airlines can no longer issue refunds in forms of vouchers or credits when consumers are entitled to receive cash.
Airlines will have six months to comply with the new rules.

“This video clip is the announcement of a collective movement aimed at disrupting the public order in Europe, USA, Australia and Asia all under the pretext of supporting Palestinians. This is a political movement intended to cause as much chaos and instability as possible, which are the exact goals of the Islamic Republic of Iran. The regime of the Islamic Republic has on multiple occasions, stated clearly that their goal is to destroy the modern society and build a global Islamic state.”
Beheshti further states that the rallies in Western countries are organized “directly in line with the mission of the Islamic Republic” and ordered by the IRGC.
In an interview with Iran International earlier Monday, Beheshti emphasized that the IRGC uses brainwashing tactics targeting youth in Western countries to cause chaos with such rallies being an example of these tactics.

People are mad at Chris Pratt and Katherine Schwarzenegger. Really mad.
The power couple ruffled feathers in the architectural preservation community — which, as it turns out, is rather large — when it was revealed they demolished a $12.5 million historic home in Brentwood, Calif. The Los Angeles property, known as the Zimmerman House, was completed in 1950 and designed by the late modernist architect Craig Ellwood. In its place, Pratt and Schwarzenegger are apparently building a farmhouse-style mansion. Here's why the internet cares — and what Ellwood's daughter has to say.
The home, commissioned in 1949 by Martin and Eva Zimmerman, sat on a 0.83-acre estate and included five bedrooms and three bathrooms. It featured a blocky exterior and 2,770 square feet of single-story living space. The famed midcentury home was one of Ellwood's earliest projects. As noted by the Robb Report, which broke the news of Pratt and Schwarzenegger's demolition, Ellwood is considered a pioneering modernist architect. His work is rare.
The Los Angeles Conservancy, a nonprofit organization whose mission is to preserve historic places, wrote: “Older homes of all eras can nearly always be updated and expanded to meet current needs while still respecting the original architecture and design. It is what we consistently press for at the Conservancy: ** win-win outcomes ** that allow L.A. to grow and adapt while still holding onto its heritage.”

"Terminator 2: Judgment Day" star Edward Furlong says he's four years sober -- and rocking a new set of teeth -- following years of drug abuse and run ins with the law.
The former child star, now 44, opened up about his descent into addiction while speaking with the Daily Mail, telling the publication he started using at a young age, at a time when he "didn't have too many people looking out for me and I was left to run wild."
He explained that he started with weed, alcohol and shrooms, before he was introduced to cocaine and heroin in his '20s. "When I was high, I had camaraderie with other people. Just drinking and partying. All of a sudden, I felt like I was with people and I fit in somehow. That's how it started," he added.
He said he briefly stopped using heroin after his son with first wife Rachael Bella was born in 2006, but his legal troubles were just getting started. Bella filed for divorce in 2008, before he was accused of exposing his then-6-year-old son to cocaine.
Later, Bella filed a restraining order against him -- which he violated -- before a string of domestic violence allegations involving ex Monica Keena, one of which landed him in jail for 180 days.
While he had some bigger roles in the late '90s and early 2000s -- including "American History X," "Detroit Rock City" and "Before and After" -- his behavior coincided with a career decline, all while his drug abuse was getting worse.
"I was shooting loads and loads of heroin, meth, smoking DMT all the time. That's the way I was all day," he told the Daily Mail. "It's amazing I'm still alive – there were a couple of close calls. I definitely OD'd but that's the cycle, you know. Once you get in there, it's so hard to see a way out. That's what I'd want people to understand – there is a way out but it's hard."
He even revealed a previously unknown arrest in 2016 to the publication, saying he was booked for being under the influence of an illicit substance while attempting to kick his heroin addiction. At the time, he was reportedly ordered to complete six-months in rehab -- and went on to spend a year at Wavelengths Recovery in Huntington Beach.
Saying "the bravest thing I've ever done" in life is "to not use," Furlong acknowledges he "f---ed over so many people when I was on drugs." He added that he has "a wonderful relationship" with his son now and "people definitely like me better sober" overall. "I like how simple my life is these days. I get to wake up and not worry I'm going to go to jail," he concluded.
These days, Furlong attends a number of fan conventions around the country and recently filmed a new movie. He also got new teeth, replacing the ones he lost to drug abuse.
———
Does he seem sober in the video at the bottom of the article? Is he just overtired? Is this the effect of long-term drug use? Something’s wrong.

Friends of Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie have said they are “very upset” but “not surprised” to have not been asked to carry out any royal engagements while the threadbare royal family grapples with a double health crisis that has seen King Charles, Prince William, and Kate Middleton all step back from royal duties.
A friend of the young women told The Daily Beast: “It seems mean that the girls aren’t being used at all when they have made it clear they want to be of service, especially when Prince Andrew has been accepted back into the fold. They have done nothing wrong and they shouldn’t be visited with the sins of their father. They are very upset to have been ignored by the king as they feel they have a lot to offer, but ultimately not surprised. They are sanguine about it.”
Another source, a friend of the wider family, told The Daily Beast: “Charles is very fond of the York girls, but everyone, including them, accepts there is no place for them to be full-time working royals. And as the late Queen Elizabeth made clear, being a part-time working royal isn’t an option.”
A former courtier, asked if the unavailability of Charles, William, and Kate for public duties—leaving the monarchy officially represented by Queen Camilla (76), Princess Anne (73), Prince Edward (60), and wife Sophie (59)—pointed to the folly of cutting out the two younger royals (Beatrice is 35 and Eugenie is 33), saying: “With hindsight you can make the argument that they should have been kept on, but a dramatic change of course now would not be helpful for anyone. The York girls have built successful lives as private individuals.”
In an interview with The Daily Beast earlier this year, the king’s trusted biographer Robert Hardman made a similar point when asked if the king could bring Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice back, saying: “I don’t think there’s any appetite for that. To suddenly bring them into the public orbit would, I think, send out a confusing message that would go against the general sense of streamlining. The king is very fond of his nieces, but they’re private individuals.”
Evidence of the king’s ongoing affection for his nieces can be found in the fact that since her 2020 marriage to Edoardo “Edo” Mapelli Mozzi in 2020, Princess Beatrice and her family have lived in a four-bed apartment in St. James’ Palace, with 2-year-old daughter Sienna and Edoardo’s older child from a previous relationship, Wolfie. They are understood to pay market rent. Eugenie, the younger sister, lives at a luxury golf and ocean club in Portugal but spends time at her sister’s St. James’ apartment when in the U.K.
Some believe, however, that if Charles and Kate were to be permanently sidelined, forced into greatly reduced roles for the longer term by ongoing health challenges, a Prince William regency would look desperately short-handed. This was highlighted Thursday when a gaunt-looking Charles was forced to address the symbolically important Maundy Thursday service via recorded audio clip (Camilla attended in his stead in person). In the future, Anne may want to retire or at least scale back her packed schedule (she did 450 engagements in 2023 and is on course to do even more than that this year).
This royal staffing time bomb is coming anyway, as the Waleses are unlikely to want their children becoming full time working royals until at least their mid-twenties. Their eldest child, Prince George, is only 10 right now.

A new study from McKinsey & Co. and non-profit organization Gold House found that while Asian and Pacific Islander representation in the entertainment industry has made significant gains over the past several decades, most API consumers do not perceive API representation in film and television as authentic or reflecting their own stories.
Despite the abundance of content from the U.S. and abroad featuring API characters and storylines, more than two-thirds of API consumers are dissatisfied with the authenticity of their representation on screen; less than 30% feel properly represented in film and television. Additionally, projects focused on API characters and storylines are less likely to get the promotional resources needed to reach a broader audience, according to the report.

This “entitled, snotty piece of shit” (as she was referred to by a crew member) apparently can’t stop herself from making very nasty cracks about everyone behind their back, even JLo.

[quote] ...We define it as an ideology that idealizes and advocates a fusion of American civic life with a particular kind of “Christianity.” I use “Christianity” in quotes there because the Christianity involved isn’t theological; it’s ethno-cultural. It’s “Christianity” as code, shorthand for “people like us,” and that usually means “Anglo European ethnicity, born in the USA, politically conservative.” Christian nationalism is an ideology that envisions that group as America’s founders and rightful leaders. It seeks to institutionalize their privilege politically.

US airlines have for years been especially stingy with refunds during irregular operations. If your flight is delayed or cancelled because of something the airline did - staffing, mechanical failures, lack of Kahlua onboard - then they are required to refund you. But for flight issues beyond their control - weather, mainly - it was up to the individual airline's corporate policy whether to refund you. In most cases, they'd give customers a voucher for a replacement flight, and refuse to refund the purchase price unless the customer jumped through several hoops.
But this changes today. The new rules require the following:
- Airlines must give a cash refund if a flight is delayed by more than three hours domestically or six hours internationally - FOR ANY REASON.
- Refunds must be provided within 7 business days if a credit card, and 20 business days if miles/points were used
- If a customer postpones a flight due to illness, the airline must honor their booking and provide them with a travel credit for a future flight that's valid for five years
- Airlines must now refund all taxes and fees to the customer

If you need reminding, Lisa Ann played the beloved housekeeper Chessy in the 1998 remake of The Parent Trap, which starred 12-year-old Lindsay Lohan.
While she has appeared in other movies and TV shows over the years, released a book, and performed standup comedy, it was Abbott Elementary being picked up for a fourth season in February that made the biggest difference to her financial situation.
“Just because you're in a movie, doesn't mean you're rich,” she explained. “I had not been able to afford taking my kids on a vacation outside of taking them to the San Diego Zoo or to go skiing locally. This was the first time I was able to have everybody go on a trip.”
In 2022, Sydney Sweeney caused a furor when she said that she couldn’t afford to take a six-month break from acting if she were to have a baby.
By this point, the star was already a household name, but she revealed exactly where her money goes in an eye-opening interview with the Hollywood Reporter.
She said: “I have to give five percent to my lawyer, 10 percent to my agents, three percent or something like that to my business manager. I have to pay my publicist every month, and that's more than my mortgage.”
More recently, Sydney’s Euphoria costar Nika King joked about being unable to pay her rent after failing to book other acting jobs between seasons.
Pedro Pascal also opened up about his career being saved by a well-timed residual check from Buffy the Vampire Slayer when he was left with just $7 in his bank account and was facing moving out of Hollywood as he struggled to pay rent.

I was uncertain if I wanted to speak about Glenn Bishop due to some circumstances, but he was a part of Beefcake history so I will.
Glenn Bishop was born and raised in Grand Haven, Michigan along the shores of Lake Michigan in the year 1937. He began working out and lifting weights at age 13 and was a star athlete in school.
Bob Mizer started the magazine Physique Pictorial which led a strange Chicago gym owner named Irv Johnson to start a rival physique magazine titled Tomorrow’s Man. Irv Johnson then set out on getting some new beautiful young men for his magazine, and discovered 15 year old Glenn Bishop, and immediately recruited him and offered him $$$ to be a physique model for him. Bishop obliged and would be featured in an early issue of Tomorrow’s Man in a speedo as the table of contents without his name posted. The next issue would add his name along with his photo and he was given a spread where he was nude but letters were carefully placed covering his “private parts”, as well as a photo of him covering himself with a towel etc. Bishop quickly became a favorite amongst gay men and Tomorrows Man took off.
At 16 he would soon have full nude photos taken and a “book” of just him was being sold through mail. The ads were in the physique magazine but you had to order the Glenn nude book specially. Irv Johnson did not try hiding his age, either, even writing about Glenn being 16 and in High School and would keep fans up to date with HS accomplishments Glenn had etc. Glenn in a speedo was the magazines table of contents for a while until June 1953, when at 16 the photo was changed to his naked rear end and Glenn would officially be introduced fully to readers, in an article titled “Want to meet Glenn Bishop?” Bishop would be featured in the magazine in one way or another from 1952 to 1954, mostly for Johnson to sell the nude books he created of Bishop. After 1954 Bishop would start modeling for tons of other physique magazines with every “physique photographer” of the time. Meanwhile, Bishop graduated from HS early (1953) and went to the University of Michigan (where he graduated in 1957). After college he went to chiropractor school, where he would graduate in 1960.
Glenn quickly became the most in demand model in the physique industry, with every photographer who took physique photos wanting to work with him. He became the highest paid physique model of the 1950s. Bishop took tons of photos for these magazines up until 1957. In 1958 Glenn “went solo” and had ads printed in Vim magazine where fans could send payment directly to him to buy his own catalogue, filled with photos of himself. At the same time, the physique magazines were still posting images of him taken as long as 5 years prior. His images were being recycled and reused over and over again in the different Beefcake magazines throughout the late 50s into the late 1960 despite him not having taken a new photo for them since 1957! When he graduated from chiropractor school in 1960 a magazine even published he was now a Doctor along with an old photo of him taken around 1955 (the photo posted below was taken around 1957 but published again in 1962).
Let’s just say he was young and beautiful and 100% exploited, however, he at least banked off of it himself as well and paid his way through college and chiropractor school.
His story is a fascinating one but messed up when you look at it now.

PHOENIX (AP) — A proposed repeal of Arizona’s near-total ban on abortions won approval from the state House Wednesday after two weeks of mounting pressure on Republicans over an issue that has bedeviled former President Donald Trump's campaign to return to the White House.
Three Republicans joined in with all 29 Democrats Wednesday to repeal a law that predated Arizona's statehood and provides no exceptions for rape or incest. If the Senate approves as expected, Arizona would allow abortions up to 15 weeks.
Their political ambitions imperiled by widespread opposition to a near-total abortion ban, Trump and U.S. Senate candidate Kari Lake had urged Arizona lawmakers to ease the restrictions. But until Wednesday, most state House Republicans repeatedly used procedural votes to block repeal, each time drawing condemnation from Democratic President Joe Biden, who has made his support for abortion rights central to his reelection campaign.
“Make no mistake, Arizonans are living in 1864 now because Donald Trump dismantled Roe v. Wade,” Democratic state Sen. Priya Sundareshan of Tucson said in a news conference Wednesday organized by the Biden campaign and the Arizona Democratic Party.
The repeal vote comes a day after Biden said Trump created a “health care crisis for women all over this country,” by hindering their access to care.

Gadd has taken to Instagram to encourage internet sleuths to stop rogue investigations: "Please don’t speculate on who any of the real-life people could be. That’s not the point of our show."
Baby Reindeer opens with a disclosure typical amid today’s boom in crime content: “This is a true story.”
It’s a fitting declaration as the new Netflix limited series, which shot to No. 1 on the streamer’s TV rankings over the weekend to become the latest viral hit, is based on the life and experiences of its creator, writer, executive producer and star, Richard Gadd. The multihyphenate adapted it from his award-winning Edinburgh Festival Fringe one-man play.
Baby Reindeer casts Gadd as Donny Dunn, a struggling comedian who encounters a lonely woman one day while at his bartending gig. The chance meeting, during which he offers her a complimentary cup of tea when she turns up in tears, spirals over many months as it’s revealed that Martha, who is played by Jessica Gunning, is a dangerous serial stalker.
The characters develop a warped relationship that impacts those closest to Donny, including his co-workers, a trans girlfriend named Teri (played by Nava Mau), his parents, ex-girlfriend and her mother, among others. That just scratches the surface of what’s revealed over the course of seven episodes, and to reveal any more would spoil the experience for those who have yet to see it.
“It’s all emotionally 100 percent true if that makes sense,” Gadd recently told Variety. “It’s all borrowed from instances that happened to me and real people that I met. But of course, you can’t do the exact truth, for both legal and artistic reasons. I mean, there’s certain protections, you can’t just copy somebody else’s life and name and put it onto television. And obviously, we were very aware that some characters in it are vulnerable people, so you don’t want to make their lives more difficult. So you have to change things to protect yourself and protect other people.”
While Gadd was clear in a mission to protect the real-life people on which he based the Baby Reindeer characters, rabid fans have had other ideas. In recent days, internet sleuths, media outlets and TikTok creators have launched investigations attempting to discover the true identity of Martha and Teri, as well as a successful TV writer who becomes a mentor to Donny only to take advantage of him in dark and disturbing ways. Gadd has taken notice of the posts and the headlines. “People I love, have worked with, and admire (including Sean Foley) are unfairly getting caught up in speculation,” Gadd posted in an Instagram Story on Monday. “Please don’t speculate on who any of the real life people could be. That’s not the point of our show.”
The man Gadd mentioned in his post, Foley, a veteran writer, actor and director, has responded on X (formerly Twitter), by stating, “Police have been informed and are investigating all defamatory abusive and threatening posts against me.”

Rachel Maddow apologized to journalists sitting near her at Donald Trump’s trial Monday in Manhattan after she “snorted out loud” when prosecutors revealed that one of the former president’s advisors had physically written down the very hush-money reimbursement plan that the jury is considering for criminal charges.
Maddow was in the cramped, dingy courtroom on Monday for opening statements and the first day of witness testimony. Though the day was mostly routine and fireworks-free, Maddow said one moment in the prosecution’s presentation caused her involuntary response.
“I’m sorry to the journalists who were sitting immediately next to me,” Maddow said, “because I unintentionally snorted out loud.”
The moment came when prosecutor Matthew Colengelo revealed that Trump ally Allen Weisselberg “wrote everything down” when he met with attorney Michael Cohen to negotiate a reimbursement plan for a hush-money payment made to adult film star Stormy Daniels.
Maddow added some other colorful details from inside the infamously low-rent courtroom.
“I can report firsthand that the courtroom smells like old soup and stale breath,” Maddow said. “I can report that the police officers who police the courtroom are working very hard and they appear to be very stressed.”

Tiger Woods will today receive an email from Sawgrass HQ informing him that he will receive up to $100 million in equity for staying loyal to the PGA Tour, with Rory McIlroy benefitting possibly to the tune of $50M for not joining LIV Golf.
Jay Monahan, the PGA Tour commissioner, will press the button on the ultra-personal messages that have been eagerly awaited since Strategic Sports Group — a consortium of US investors led by Liverpool FC owner Fenway Sports — pumped $1.5 billion into PGA Tour Enterprises, the new for-profit company, three months ago.
Approximately two thirds of that figure will be divvied up as equity to 193 golfers, although with $750 million to be split among the 36 superstars adjudged by the circuit to be most deserving the sums will be wildly different. Little wonder, therefore, that Monahan and his management team have been at pains to keep the breakdown confidential.

Well, hello, Voyager 1! The venerable spacecraft is once again making sense APRIL 23, 20245:00 AM ET Nell Greenfieldboyce 2010 Nell Greenfieldboyce
Members of the Voyager team celebrate at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory after receiving data about the health and status of Voyager 1 for the first time in months.
NASA says it is once again able to get meaningful information back from the Voyager 1 probe, after months of troubleshooting a glitch that had this venerable spacecraft sending home messages that made no sense.
The Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 probes launched in 1977 on a mission to study Jupiter and Saturn but continued onward through the outer reaches of the solar system. In 2012, Voyager 1 became the first spacecraft to enter interstellar space, the previously unexplored region between the stars. (Its twin, traveling in a different direction, followed suit six years later.)
Voyager 1 had been faithfully sending back readings about this mysterious new environment for years — until November, when its messages suddenly became incoherent.
NASA's Voyager 1 spacecraft is talking nonsense. Its friends on Earth are worried SPACE NASA's Voyager 1 spacecraft is talking nonsense. Its friends on Earth are worried It was a serious problem that had longtime Voyager scientists worried that this historic space mission wouldn't be able to recover. They'd hoped to be able to get precious readings from the spacecraft for at least a few more years, until its power ran out and its very last science instrument quit working.
For the last five months, a small team at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California has been working to fix it. The team finally pinpointed the problem to a memory chip and figured out how to restore some essential software code.
"When the mission flight team heard back from the spacecraft on April 20, they saw that the modification worked: For the first time in five months, they have been able to check the health and status of the spacecraft," NASA stated in an update.
The usable data being returned so far concerns the workings of the spacecraft's engineering systems. In the coming weeks, the team will do more of this software repair work so that Voyager 1 will also be able to send science data, letting researchers once again see what the probe encounters as it journeys through interstellar space.

Nico Parker, daughter of Thandiwe Newton and writer-director Ol Parker, grew up twiddling her thumbs on film sets: "There's a lot of sitting around, so I just thought it looked genuinely dull." But at the age of 11, an audition for Tim Burton's Dumbo changed everything. Now the 19-year-old is winning accolades for her Sundance breakout Suncoast, preparing to suit up for a live-action How to Train Your Dragon, and "chasing that feeling that I can't find anywhere other than when I'm surrounded by like-minded people working on set."
BORN IN LONDON, she was skeptical about Hollywood even when Newton invited her and her sister to the set of the film Retreat to watch a scene in which Newton got shot. "She did a wonderful job, but with the CGI and the fake wound, we were laughing so hard, we actually had to be escorted off."
SHE'S STILL CLOSE with her costars from HBO's smash hit The Last of Us. Pedro Pascal is "very important to me as a human being. Bella [Ramsey]'s so wonderful. We speak, always celebrating their wins-and there's a lot of them."
SHE'S STRUCK by how good her costar Laura Linney is in Suncoast-"It's maddening" —as well as her own youthful confidence. "I've been beaten down in the past two years," she jokes. "But I really like watching a 17-year-old me just going for it and showing all the colors of being a teenager."
HER FATHER AND younger brother told her over Face Time that she'd won Sundance's breakthrough performance prize. "I just started crying. I didn't even know it was a category, so it felt like the perfect way to find out." SHE'S ADJUSTING to blockbuster life on the Dragon set, thanks to a greenroom filled with chocolate. "Going from a small indie to this is slightly daunting, but I love it."
THE ULTIMATE Beyoncé fan would be too nervous to break bread with her idol, but does hope to meet Greta Gerwig- again. After seeing Barbie six times, "I joked with her that I was the reason she made a billion dollars. Then I was like, 'I didn't mean it like that.

Adrian Zmed was born in Chicago, Illinois on March 14, 1954. He is now 70 years old.
He was born to two Romanian parents. His father was a Romanian Orthodox Priest.
Adrian was a high school athlete, playing football until one day he broke his leg which in turn punctured a major artery. After that he decided to quit playing sports and turned his energy and time to something new, acting. He joined the drama club and was cast in his schools production of “Guys and Dolls”. He was so good that he was featured on a local tv show, being labeled one of Chicago’s top HS performers. After this he went to a college that specialized in Arts and Drama, and began studying voice on the side at the Chicago Conservatory of Music. He graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Goodman School of Drama.
After graduating he landed the role of Danny Zuko in the national touring company production of Grease, being his first major acting gig. After this he did a lot of guest spots on tv shows and landed main cast roles on shows that didn’t last long like Flatbush and Goodtime Girls. However, he would soon reach celebrity status, getting cast as Officer Romano on TJ Hooker. He would continue to do guest spots on other shows throughout the 80s but decided to leave TJ Hooker in 1985 when the show was being moved to CBS.
While on TJ Hooker he was cast as Johnny in Grease 2, which was expected to be a big hit and help skyrocket his film career like it did John Travolta, but it wasn’t a hit. However, his performance led to him getting cast in a few other films like The Final Terror and Bachelor Party, but his film career never took off like was expected.
After a few films, tv movies and guest spots on tv throughout the 80s, he returned to the stage in the 90s, starring in numerous musicals on and off-Broadway. In 1995 he would reprise his role as Danny Zuko in the Broadway revival. In the 00s he began doing some voice work.
He’s been married 3 times and has two sons from his first marriage. He is still married to his third wife.
Now at 70 years old, he lives a quiet life with his wife and is still close friends with his TJ Hooker costar, William Shatner.
At just 5’8 and thin, he was never my usual type, but I always found him quite sexy and found him charming at times. I loved him on TJ Hooker. He was quite handsome! I remember him becoming a teen heartthrob for a bit, always in those teen magazines my ass had no business buying (but I did).

She was too often paranoid and timid, but occasionally quite bad-tempered woman who thought way too much about what the neighbours thought. She could drive me mad without even trying.
She was wonderful. She was funny and we laughed together a lot. Even when she was old and losing her vitality, she was instinctively kind. I often thought she should have been a therapist because she could get anyone to talk to her, and she always made people feel better about their problems. She was the only person who I know was always on my side, no matter what. She would have done anything for me, and I would give almost anything to spend a night in her living room again, just chatting about nothing and enjoying her not-very-good, but comforting cooking.

The Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta’s GDPNow tracker now predicts that second-quarter GDP will contract by 1%. That’s quite the dip from the tracker’s early June prediction for an increase of 1.3% in the second quarter.
If the Atlanta Fed’s pessimistic outlook is correct, coupled with the 1.6% decline in GDP seen in the first quarter, it would mean two consecutive quarters of a shrinking economy, and therefore a recession.
Of course, what determines a recession is not quite as airtight as just two consecutive down quarters. The National Bureau of Economic Research, which is often seen as the official judge of business cycles, defines a recession as “a significant decline in economic activity that is spread across the economy and that lasts more than a few months.”
Still, every recession since World War II has included a two-quarter consecutive decline in GDP, and that definition remains widely accepted on Wall Street.
Do you think we're are currently in an economic recession? Btw, I love the article image.

Politically and ethically fraught, research into what leads to bisexual behavior or exclusive homosexuality typically sparks controversy. The latest study, published today in Science Advances, is no exception. By mining a DNA database of some 450,000 people in the United Kingdom, a research team has concluded that the genes underlying bisexual behavior are distinct from those driving exclusive same-sex behavior, and may be intertwined with a propensity for taking risks. This connection to risk-taking, the authors suggest, may also explain why men with a history of bisexual behavior still have a reasonably high number of offspring, albeit fewer than heterosexual men, possibly explaining why the genes driving such sexual behavior have persisted.

Spring Break reached rowdy new heights outside Savannah, GA ... as several violent fights broke out, despite increased police presence.
Thousands flocked to Tybee Island this past weekend for the annual Orange Crush gathering ... and it didn't take long for chaos to ensue. Videos from the party weekend show countless intoxicated attendees doing everything from littering to fighting.
A group of women are seen wailing on each other, with one fighter ripping the bathing suit top off another. Few intervene in the brawl ... choosing instead to film the fight on their respective phones.
Partygoers also trashed the island's picturesque beaches ... as large amounts of garbage notably made its way into the ocean after being discarded on the sand.
Heading into the Spring Break weekend, Tybee Island increased its police presence ... with cops stationed at all road points. Remember, Savannah State University severed its ties with Orange Crush in 1991 after violent incidents and a drowning tainted the festival.
The party weekend returned in 2020 ... before taking another hiatus sparked by the pandemic. Now Orange Crush is back -- seemingly wilder than ever ... with tens of thousands of people overrunning the 3-mile island.
Major Bob Holley of the Georgia Department of Natural Resources tried to paint a more peaceful picture of the weekend. He told WSAV3 ... "We have a little bit heavier of a presence, which gives a little bit of a safer environment for people. I think when there’s a good law enforcement and public safety presence, people can relax and when they can relax things tend to go well."
It seems the major needs to take a peek on social media for a clearer account of what went down.

About 30 million American employees are currently held into the dreaded 'non-compete clause' : from CEOs to hairstylists. It's an agreement some employers make new hires sign forbidding an employee (in some cases, even fast food workers) from leaving the company and working for the competitor within a certain amount of years, or from leaving a company and opening your own competing business (usually with a certain mile radius or zip code area). It's been the crux of many small-claims lawsuits, and the former employer (plaintiff) always wins.
“It is so profoundly unfree and unfair for people to be stuck in jobs they want to leave, not because they lacked better alternatives, but because noncompetes preclude another firm from fairly competing for their labor, requiring workers instead to leave their industries or their homes to make ends,” FTC Commissioner Rebecca Slaughter (D) said in prepared remarks.
Now that clause is no longer legal, thanks to a 3-2 vote today by the FTC banning such clauses. Employers who have these agreements with current and past employees must tell employees they are no longer in effect. The law takes effect 120 days after it's entered in the Federal Register.

LONDON − A conservative majority in Britain's Parliament pushed through a controversial plan to deport asylum seekers to Rwanda, capping a fight that critics blasted as an expensive, inhumane and impractical way to deal with immigration.
British lawmakers won support Monday night with the measure aimed at satisfying one of Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's legislative priorities: "stopping the boats." Specifically, the small inflatable dinghies and even kayaks filled with thousands of migrants and asylum seekers who cross the English Channel each year from France.
Opponents noted the plan may cost more per head than a three-year stay at The Ritz; it may be incompatible with international human rights law. It may not even be, experts say, an effective policy.

Why You Can’t Get a Restaurant Reservation
How bots, mercenaries, and table scalpers have turned the restaurant reservation system inside out.
By Adam Iscoe April 22, 2024
Everyone needs to eat somewhere, and in New York City that place is often a restaurant. New York is a city of long hours, tiny kitchens, cramped apartments—and dining out, a lot. There is, improbably, always an occasion: date night, working late, friends in town, New Year’s Eve, too tired to cook, in-laws, layoff, anniversary, breakup. But getting a decent dinner reservation here is a challenge. Any well-reviewed Italian joint? You’d better have one. Gourmet burger place? Good luck. The new French-Korean fried-chicken spot? Booked solid for months.
In New York, the neighborhood restaurant doesn’t have much room for neighbors anymore. At Sailor, April Bloomfield and Gabriel Stulman’s new spot in Fort Greene, reservations are scooped up fourteen days in advance by residents of SoHo, Aspen, and East Hampton, who likely saw the place on some list, or while doomscrolling TikTok or Eater. The majority of diners log on to a restaurant’s Web site at 10:59 a.m., two weeks before they want to eat out, then wait, click, and pray. Pete Wells, who gave Sailor a three-star review in the Times, wrote that although the bar and two booths in front are set aside for walk-ins, reservations “disappear within minutes of being offered.” Locals are politely quoted a three-hour wait. Of Roscioli, a downtown outpost of the famous Roman restaurant, the Post wrote, “New Yorkers are risking their lives, begging, bribing and pleading to get a table at the Italian eatery.”

“Well, gosh, I’ve heard about it,” Rinna told People. “I haven’t been approached or anything, but I would love to see what Taylor McBride is up to 25 years later. Wouldn’t that be something?”
Rinna said working on Melrose Place “was one of my greatest and most fun acting experiences,” working alongside “Heather [Locklear] and the whole crew.”
“I mean, it was just a great, great experience,” she added. “So if they need a Taylor McBride appearance, they know who to call. I’m around.”
Rinna famously campaigned to be cast in the 2009 Melrose Place reboot on The CW, but the series was canceled after one season.
In the followup series, the Melrose Place residents reunite after the death of one of their friends, “ut the pressure cooker of a reunion soon uncovers old traumas, rekindles old romances, reignites old resentments, and reveals new secrets… throwing our characters into chaotic drama that’s reminiscent of the past, but with a much more modern perspective.”

Kate Hudson may be known for playing the queen of all rock groupies in the Oscar-winning film “Almost Famous,” but she’s on her way to amassing her own gaggle of “band-aids” as she launches her own singing career.
On Tuesday, Hudson released her debut single “Talk About Love,” a synthy pop-rock anthem that she co-wrote with her fiancé – singer and guitarist Danny Fujikawa – and 4 Non Blondes lead singer and songwriter Linda Perry.
With a full album due out later this year, Hudson said in a statement that she wanted her first single to be “something delicious and sexy and all the things that I believe in,” while sonically adding notes of rock, pop, dance and “even a bit of the alternative records I love.”
“Talk About Love” is the first music release from Hudson, who has enjoyed an illustrious career as an actor, starring in movies such as “How To Lose a Guy in 10 Days,” “Glass Onion” and the Cameron-Crowe directed classic “Almost Famous,” for which she was nominated for a best supporting actress Oscar in 2001.
The daughter of Goldie Hawn and musician Bill Hudson has previously showcased her vocal talents on screen in the 2009 film “Nine” and throughout her five-episode arc on the hit Fox musical show “Glee” between 2012 and 2013. Hudson also sang a doo-wop rendition of Ariana Grande’s “7 Rings” on a 2022 episode of “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.”
Having been “caught up writing and witnessing life in songs since I was a child,” Hudson said in her statement this week that “it always comes down to the moment, and the ability to make sure you can be there for the music.”
“Finally, for me,” she said, “that time is now.”

Dollneck thread.
Karen, a five-year-old ostrich living at the Topeka Zoo in Kansas, has died after swallowing a set of keys she snatched from a staff member, according to zoo officials.
The beloved bird “tragically succumbed to complications arising from consuming a foreign object,” the Topeka Zoo said in a Facebook post on Friday.
According to zoo officials, Karen reached beyond her enclosure to grab a set of keys from a staff member and “immediately” swallowed them.
“Zoo staff consulted with experts across the country to undergo surgical and non-surgical efforts to minimize the impact of the keys,” the post reads. “Unfortunately, these efforts were unsuccessful.”
Karen was euthanized on Thursday, according to Fawn Moser, interim director of the Topeka Zoo.
“We are devastated by the loss of Karen,” Moser said in a statement Friday. “She was not just an animal; she was a beloved member of our community.”
Karen arrived at the Topeka Zoo and Conservation Center in 2023 and was a member of the Giraffe & Friends exhibit, which allows visitors to interact with animals.
Known for her playful nature, Karen loved the water and spent much of her time “swimming in the pool, playing in the sprinkler, and, best of all, being our ‘dancing queen,’” the zoo said.
“Our thoughts are with our dedicated animal care team, who formed deep bonds with Karen during her time with us,” Moser added.
Zoo officials have conducted a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding Karen’s death and are taking “appropriate actions” with regard to the team member involved. Protocols are also being reviewed and enhanced to further protect animals living at the zoo.
“Karen’s passing serves as a solemn reminder of the importance of vigilance and care in maintaining the safety of our animal inhabitants,” the zoo said.

The Ukrainians have wanted these for a while — the Army Tactical Missile System, or ATACMS. It’s a kind of very long range missile — it can be fired from HIMARS or other platforms. We have already sent them mid-range ATACMS, M39s, but these, M39A1 or M48, are long range — 300km.
Based on the current frontline, the Ukrainians would be JUST able to bombard the Kerch Bridge with them, although that would move the HIMARS quite close to the (dangerous) front line. If the missiles are M48s, Mister Putin’s beloved bridge is in a spot of bother.

Luxury real estate developer Mohamed Hadid — father of nepobaby models Bella and Gigi — has spent months bombarding Rep. Ritchie Torres with dozens of racist and homophobic messages, according to screenshots obtained by The Post.
The progressive Democrat apparently become a target for Hadid in the wake of his outspoken defense of Israel after Hamas’ Oct. 7 massacre.
“You worse than the rats of New York sewage system. They have bigger brains than you. You might get a job as bouncer at gay bar,” Hadid, 75, told Torres in an Instagram direct message sent from his verified account — adding the Congressman was a “slave to whites.”
“Make sure you dress as KKK to hide that ugly gray colored face of yours,” the developer added. “I know about Bronx.”
Torres, 36, made history in 2021 when he became the first openly gay African American, and first openly gay Hispanic member, of Congress.
“You are just unusual Black and colorful mouth for Israeli and AIPAC and looking for payday of over 500K,” Hadid saId in another message, referring to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, a pro-Israel lobbying group.
Torres told The Post he would not be silenced or intimidated by Hadid’s bigotry.
“Whether it is dehumanizing me as worse than the rats of the NYC sewage system or telling me to dress like the KKK to ‘hide that gray colored face of yours,’” Mr. Hadid has hurled just about every racist insult at me shorting of calling me the N-word,” Torres said.
“That Mr. Hadid felt so at ease demonizing and dehumanizing a black Member of Congress reveals a tragic truth about our politics: if you are a person of color and pro-Israel, you are fair game for racist invective.

Four years ago, Claudia Aleman and her family had only one way to get online — through their cellphones. Without internet service on a computer, her youngest daughter couldn’t get homework assignments in on time, her parents couldn’t keep up with online doctor visits, and the English classes she wanted to sign up for were out of reach.
Then came a game-changer: The federal government started offering a subsidy that covered $30 of the family’s $80 monthly internet bill.
But while opening mail at her home in South Gate two months ago, Aleman came across a letter from the Federal Communications Commission announcing that the Affordable Connectivity Program they had come to rely on would end in May unless Congress approved more funding.
The program, which was created after the pandemic forced many Americans to turn to the internet to connect with work and school, has 23 million enrollees nationwide — 1 in 6 U.S. households — including nearly 3 million in California.
Since 2021, it has provided a $30 monthly subsidy for low-income households and $75 for those on tribal lands. But the $14.2 billion funded through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act has run out.

He is another vintage beefcake I worried about speaking about due to circumstances but he is a part of the history so I will.
Forrester Wayne Dorlac was born on August 28, 1929 in Bernalillo County, New Mexico. When he was a child his family moved to Missouri, where they would live until he was a teen. During WWII his family decided to leave Missouri and moved to Los Angeles, California. He was an athletic youth and taking gymnastics. He also loved to workout. It was 1946 and he was 16 years old and loved to go to Muscle Beach to workout with all the other gym bros of the time (who were almost always older than him) and learn from them on how they workout etc. While he was working out one day he began noticing that men who don’t even work out(who he assumed were “queer”) would show up to watch him working out. As the days went by, more and more gay men came to watch this teenage Adonis workout, and he began generating small crowds. Forrester was confused by it at first but ended up liking the feeling of being admired and adored. Word of mouth got to Bob Mizer, who decided to come down to Muscle Beach and see this teenage beauty for himself.
Bob Mizer went down to Muscle Beach and saw Forrester with his own eyes, and immediately approached him despite finding him to be short. He let Forrester know he is a professional photographer who photographs buff models to show off their muscles for his magazine to motivate other men to workout more and give tips. He then asked Forrester if he wanted to come back to his mother’s place and see some of his work and Forrester obliged. While at his mother’s he showed Forrester some of his work and then asked if he wanted to become one of his models, as he had the perfect build to be a top physique model and buttered him up with endless praise and adoration. Forrester said yes then Mizer went and got a jockstrap and told him to put it on, that he would be recreating poses of a classical Greek statue. He did his first photoshoot on the spot at 16. After taking the photos Mizer realized he just took photos of a minor and decided to give Forrester the stage name Forrest Millard. Forrest became the very first catalogued model for pioneering photographer Bob Mizer's Athletic Model Guild (AMG) after that photoshoot, sadly at just 16 years old. Some nudes were taken as well and Bob sold the photos by mail order through his company, the Athletic Model Guild, and, beginning in 1951, Physique Pictorial, the first magazine aimed at a gay male audience (although it claimed to be for fitness enthusiasts, being a gay magazine under the guise of a fitness magazine).
Forrest did 15 more photoshoots for Mizer over the course of 14 years and posed for numerous other magazines and photographers as well.
Forrest worked with Mizer exclusively until 1954 when he decided to branch out and did a photoshoot with Irv Johnson for “Tomorrows Man” becoming the new face of the Table of Contents in late 1954 (taking over that spot from 16 year old Glenn Bishop).
In 1958 Forrester did a few shoots with another model to create homoerotic images to sell. Those images would keep being reprinted in numerous magazines throughout the 1960s, even after Forrest retired.
In 1960 Forrest retired from modeling and left LA. He moved to Washington and met a woman and got married in the late 70s. Unlike some other beefcake models, he was never ashamed of his past and even did an interview in 2009. During this interview he learned that many gay men over the years loved him. Surprised that he was still remembered by some, he was gratified that he’d impacted gay culture and helped countless men on their journey to coming out.
He died in 2011 of supposed heart failure. His wife of over 30 years by that point was with him the entire time.

Not too much info exists about Jerry. He was in his early 20s when he was discovered and recruited to do Physical Pictorial in 1955. He was a bodybuilder who would put on shows with peers on the beach in Los Angeles.
In 1953 he entered Mr. Muscle Beach and placed 3rd. That was his first competition.
In 1954 he entered Mr. America but did not place. After that he entered Mr. Apollo and won. He then entered Jr. Mr. America and placed 3rd. He then entered Mr. Muscle Beach and won!
In 1955 he entered Mr. America and placed 7th. He then entered Mr. California and won. After that he entered Mr. Los Angeles and won. He then entered Mr. Southern California and won.
After this he stopped doing bodybuilding comps and only did the Physique mags briefly. He did a few photoshoots in 1955 and that was it. Those images would continue to be reused over the years, with one of them even being used as the cover to a magazine in 1959, years after it was taken.
He sure was nice to look at.

“ This actress is an offspring and has an actress offspring too. She has gone through multiple pool companies over the past few years. When I say multiple, I mean about two dozen in three years. It began during the pandemic when she was in the need for company and started showing up topless to her pool each day the pool guy would come visit. Then, she would be naked and eventually started sleeping with every pool guy one company sent. A couple wives of the pool workers complained and it was on to the next pool company and the next. Apparently, over the past couple of months she finally locked into one company that heard about her special requests and found a couple single guys to rotate for her pool services. They also raised their monthly prices. She pays about ten times what anyone else pays for pool service.”

Brightline West, the only private passenger rail company operating high-speed service in the country, is expected to build a 218-mile intercity passenger rail system between Las Vegas and Rancho Cucamonga, Calif., where it would connect with Los Angeles’s existing regional rail system.

In the absence of transitional centres, Border Patrol agents are now dropping off some 900 people a day at bus and train stations in San Diego, a city of around 1.3 million people. At the Iris Avenue Transit Center, a swelling crowd of migrants milled around on a Sunday afternoon earlier this month, exhausted and relieved.
"It used to be in the Obama administration, in the Trump administration, and Bush and even Clinton, that migrants coming across the border illegally would run from border patrol agents. Now they're running to them," Jim Desmond, San Diego County Commissioner said. "And they're being processed and being dropped off and jumping ahead of the line. And anytime you have some entity that allows people to jump ahead of the line, chaos ensues."

My sister-in-law is a single mom and her adult son moved back home three years ago due to rent else being too high. He's 38 and she's 54.
She was a teen mom and the dad was only in the picture for the first year before abandoning them, then it was just her and the son living together. The son was always a moody, difficult little prick who threw tantrums constantly and pretty much did what he wanted. My SIL is a rather meek person, so aside from yelling at him a few times, never really stood up to him or disciplined him.
Luckily, the son has a type A personality and always did well in school, so he has a good career in the financial sector but has always stayed close to home for money reasons. He didn't move out until he was 25 the first time because he was saving up a nest egg so he wouldn't be living on a tight budget, came back at 31 to save up again, then somehow found a girlfriend to live with, then they broke up (this girlfriend ranted on facebook about him being a hoarder), and he moved back home again to save up money. Now, three years have passed and he's still living at home with the mother, saving up money to buy his dream home. He admits that he has no plan on leaving until he has every penny saved for his dream home because he doesn't want a mortgage.
My sister-in-law insists it wouldn't be a problem if they actually got along, but they don't have a close relationship and he always seems annoyed by her/barely talks to her. He's a messy pig who has destroyed her home, yet again. He leaves dirty clothes and dishes everywhere and refuses to admit they stink, so when she asks him to clean up, he stubbornly refuses and then she has to do it, otherwise the house will stink. He's a cheap-ass bitch who refuses to buy new furniture, so all his pieces are ancient, second-hand and they smell (mattress, bedroom sofa, curtains). The furniture, which he brought from his old apartment, smells like sweat, stale body odour. I've been to the house, and there is a terrible odour when crossing his room.
He plays loud videos up in his room---meditation videos and finance/politics videos. He refuses to turn down the volume. He drilled an exercise bar into a weak ceiling in the hallway, so now that portion of the ceiling if caving in--he's also damaged the walls in his own room, the bathroom and the attic. He uses heavy exercise equipment in his room and skips rope, weightlifts and kickboxes at night. It sounds like a construction site, with all that slamming and banging. He also plays tennis against the walls indoors and has put dents in it. The mother has told him to stop, that he's damaging the house, but he says it's not a big deal because it's his room and he sees no damage.
He has a rolling exercise wheel that he uses all over the house, so now the carpet is rippling up because of it. Because of this wheel, the carpet has bumps all over--the stairs, the living room, the kitchen. Aside from that, he's a hoarder, who has baskets of junk all over the house. He refuses to let her throw anything away, yells at her if she even attempts to move the junk out of the way. Also has a variety of junk in the garden that he refuses to throw away (scooter, an old metal shelf, an old kickboxing dummy) Within weeks of moving in, he planted a row of cactus trees, and refuses to let the mother remove them even though she hates them and constantly complains about them. She explained to him so many times that she doesn't want spikey cactuses infront of her doorstep because they stab her ankles but he does not care. He just insists they are his plants and nobody is to touch them. My sister in law chopped one down a few months ago when he was away on a business trip, and when he returned home HE WENT NUTS and punched a whole in the wall.
I'm rambling, but is this what happens when a boy grows up without a father? Do they need a male figure to put them in their place? Because it seems to me, these men just walk all over their mothers because they've never had authority figure say "shut the fuck up, you're the kid here, behave yourself."

Jim Stryker was a blonde, blue-eyed, physique model who epitomized an era of muscle-headed beefcakes, free-spirited playboy jocks, and beach boys.
Jim Stryker was discovered by photographer Walter Kundzicz and was one of the very first “Beefcake” models.
Stryker was fresh out of high school when he met photographer Walter Kundzicz (a.k.a. Champion) in the summer of 1952. In search of new subjects for a growing portfolio of young male models, Champ traveled specifically to a rural swimming hole to meet the beautiful blonde youth. Upon arrival, he was greeted with the breathtaking sight of a fully naked 18-year-old in a tree, laughing uproariously as he urinated on a friend standing below.
Jim and Champ hit it off at once and the photographer proceeded with the first of 21 separate photo sessions with the boy. These photographs quickly turned him into the first (and still most enduringly popular) gay icons of all time.
Kundzicz’s first catalog was dedicated only to Jim Stryker, who turned out to be his best-selling model for over seven years. These works were captured on Fire Island and remain some of the most searched to this day.
Champion’s magazines of Stryker were every gay boy’s fantasy. In a time where sexuality was repressed in the mainstream, Fire Island came to represent a place of mystery and a gay haven for many. While much about Jim Stryker remains unknown, his blonde beauty against the liberated setting of Fire Island remains a snapshot in time of a refuge for young gay boys of the time.

I'm pretty gifted down there. Which has brought me quite a few experiences both good and bad.
All these experiences have brought me to a point where I really don't know what to do with my sexuality and my endowment, I don't know if I like it or hate it.
I have felt turned into a sex object, been raped (it was years ago now) and sexually harassed, and while I know logically it's not my fault, I can't help but feel that it is.
I don't know what to do, I feel at a point where I love the attention it gives me and feel it's the only thing that maintains some of my ego and my self esteem, but I can't but despise the fact that despite what I've been through I'm still displaying my endowment, and feeling like I don't have much more to contribute in life.
I know I should go to a psychologist, but I don't feel like I have enough energy to do it.

The hunt for the origins of COVID-19 has gone dark in China, the victim of political infighting after a series of stalled and thwarted attempts to find the source of the virus that killed millions and paralyzed the world for months.
The Chinese government froze meaningful domestic and international efforts to trace the virus from the first weeks of the outbreak, despite statements supporting open scientific inquiry, an Associated Press investigation found. That pattern continues to this day, with labs closed, collaborations shattered, foreign scientists forced out and Chinese researchers barred from leaving the country.
The investigation drew on thousands of pages of undisclosed emails and documents and dozens of interviews that showed the freeze began far earlier than previously known and involved political and scientific infighting in China as much as international finger-pointing.
Scientists warn the willful blindness over coronavirus’ origins leaves the world vulnerable to another outbreak, potentially undermining pandemic treaty talks coordinated by the World Health Organization set to culminate in May.

Where he’s strutting around with his nearly naked old man body…. WHY?! He was super hot back in the day. Now he just looks like a raw grocery store chicken.

The story of how Rob Navarro, the former voice of Ronald McDonald, became one of the most successful gay pornographers in America. One day, while perusing the selection of an adult book store, Navarro discovered Bobby Garcia’s movies. Garcia was a pioneer in the world of gay military fetish porn. Navarro loved it and thought, “I want to have that.” Today he’s one of the most successful pornographers in America, an achievement that would not have been possible without the help of a few good men from the U.S. Marine Corps.

This man is a vile racist and probably a huge homophobe. Reality is, he probably beats off to gay white porn.

... according to Sherwood Schwartz.
[quote] Schwartz said that Davis never married. And while he knew her, she never had a relationship either, which, for the decade, was odd. So her choice to remain single caused rumors to spread. The producer revealed that he spoke with Davis about her personal life on one occasion, and the actress illuded that a bad relationship made her swear off men for good. And in turn, she never had the chance to start a family of her own.
[quote]“She was never married and everybody suspected that she was gay. [Ann] and I actually talked about it and she said, ‘No, I have lots of issues, but that’s not one of them,’” Lloyd continued. “She told me she once had a relationship, I think with a married guy or something, and it ended badly. I don’t know that she ever had anything else after that. But that’s almost apocryphal.”
Mmm. Ann B. was deeply religious. I suspect she was stuck in the closet somewhere back in Narnia. Poor Alice!
