This show looks like it could be the hottest mess of all! Premieres June 3 on TLC.

At least in the US, these people could lead normal lives.

If they move to another country, it will be hell!

The Qatari guy IS hot, though.

I was talking to a friend of my mother and she said she retired at 62 (was a nurse and it became too strenuous.)

This got me wondering if you retire at 62 and medicare doesn't start until 65....what do you do in between? Private insurance? Medicare thru a spouse?

A couple traveling together was removed from a plane after they had a loud, disruptive argument, in which the woman “Hulk-smashed” a laptop on the man’s head, furious that he was looking at “other women.”

The American Airlines flight from Miami to Los Angeles on Sunday was still at the gate in Miami International Airport when the fight broke out. A passenger recorded part of the fight, and the video quickly went viral on Twitter.

The video shows part of the feud beginning with the couple arguing loudly while still seated.

“You want to try to f***ing look at other women, n*****? Nah, f*** you,” the woman told the man.

A flight attendant is seen trying to dissolve the situation, and asked the woman not to swear because there was a child seated right behind the couple. She responded “Yeah I know, I f***ing consoled the f***ing child.”

According to Scorupco, the woman consoled a child who was crying on the flight before the argument broke out.

However, the fight continued, with the man intervening to say, “You’re going out of control.” He eventually stood up to leave and pushed past her, saying she was “assaulting” him.

At this point, the woman followed him and smashed a laptop on his head, which invited screams from the rest of the passengers on the plane.

Miami-Dade Police Department has identified the woman as “Mrs. McLemore,” and told Yahoo Lifestyle the couple was on a connecting flight to Los Angeles from Ecuador.

As McLemore continued to push past flight attendants to make her way through the plane, a steward warned her that she’d be “charged with assault.” She remained unfazed, and responded, “Fine, whatever.”

However, police officials say that McLemore walked away after de-boarding the plane, and a search for her “yielded negative results.” They added that she didn’t answer her phone, and the man she assaulted “refused to write a statement and was uncooperative.”

People on Twitter took issue with the fact that the couple was apparently seated in an emergency exit row, which could have been dangerous.

A spokesperson for American Airlines sent a statement to Yahoo Lifestyle in which they wrote, “We thank the American crew who worked quickly to defuse the situation. Their actions resulted in a safe environment for all of our passengers.”

Scorupco confirmed this, adding that she “didn’t feel in danger at any point because the flight attendants were standing around the couple.”

“At the end of the day, I have no true idea what prompted the situation, or how they treat one another in private — so I am not one to judge,” Scorupco told Yahoo Lifestyle. “But, she did say a lot of hurtful and racist things about him and his upbringing, background and heritage — most of which wasn’t recorded, so it was hard to watch. And of course, there’s absolutely no excuse for physical abuse.”

The Miami-Dade Police Department says that while the man has been rebooked for a later flight by American Airlines, it is uncertain whether the airline will rebook McLemore.

well?

If you're going to fly the friendly skies, might as well have someone attractive flying you around.

I'll have to say, that's really not a responsible thing to do, because the chances of birth defects rise after age 40, and 49 -OMG.

The Durrell Creatures shoot their wads over The Witcher

JERSEY, CI: The critically endangered specimens of Jersey Zoo (formerly Durrell Wildlife Park) celebrated the reveal of Henry Cavill as Geralt of Riva by commencing the long-delayed Durrell mating season. The exceedingly rare species had been on pins and needles since production finished, postponing their annual copulation rituals until Netflix unveiled its first official preview of the series, which was greeted this morning with fanboy acclaim.

“We were incredibly worried that this could misfire badly,” said the Eritrean Echidna as he humped his mate. “The... pardon me... WHEW... perception that this UGH was less of Game of Thrones-aspirational epic and more of an EEEP Gerard Butler B-movie reject was heavy when the OOOOH early costume test was unveiled. However Netflix has followed through on its commitment AWWWWW to creating premium caliber original content and we are now confident in the series’ potentiALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL - L. Uh uh uh uh uh uh. Berp.”

After a brief cleanup, the echidnas retired to their nest for a post coital cigarette and a debate on whether Henry would make a fool of himself as Sherlock Holmes.

Wendy’s Owner Gives Big to Trump While Refusing Farmworkers’ Demands

The New York Times noted in a recent article that the CIW “has persuaded companies like Walmart and McDonald’s to buy their tomatoes from growers who follow strict labor standards,” but that “high-profile holdouts have threatened to halt the effort’s progress.” The CIW is now “raising pressure on one of the most prominent holdouts — Wendy’s — which it sees as an obstacle to expansion.” The CIW and its supporters have launched a campaign to get officials at colleges campuses with Wendy’s restaurants to “either remove the chain from campus or block it from doing business there in the future,” according to the Times.

One big fact the Times article failed to note is that the real power behind Wendy’s is a prominent hedge fund run by a well-known Trump donor who owns a $123.1 million Palm Beach estate that sits next to one of Trump’s former properties.

I did a search, couldn't find anything.

State Rep. Erica Thomas described the incident in an emotional Facebook video after it took place at her local Publix store in an Atlanta suburb.

Thomas said she was at the grocery store with her daughter, checking out in the 10 items or less lane. She had about 15 items, she said, but at nine months pregnant, she said she needed the quick checkout line to avoid being on her feet too long.

In response, she said a white man came up to her and began yelling at her for the number of items she had.

"He says, 'You lazy son of a bitch. You need to go back where you came from,'" Thomas said, adding the man also called her "ignorant" and "a piece of shit."

On Saturday, the man showed up again at the grocery store as Thomas was speaking to local TV news outside. Eric Sparkes admitted he had called her lazy and cursed at her, but he denied telling her to go back where she came from, WSB-TV reported. Thomas replied he was lying to make himself look better.

Sparkes told WSB that he is a Democrat.

"She's doing it for political purposes," he said.

When asked by WSB about Sparkes's exact words, Thomas said she couldn't remember them verbatim.

"I don't want to say he said, 'Go back to your country,' or 'Go back to where you came from,'" Thomas told WSB, adding she was sure he told her to go back. "But he was making those types of references is what I remember."

Trans weightlifter Laurel Hubbard has secured two gold medals the Pacific Games in Samoa.

Hubbard took the gold in the over-89kg competition which took place on Saturday (13 July).

The New Zealander bested competition favorites, Samoa’s Feagaiga Stowers and Iuniana Sipaia.

This is a remarkable comeback for the athlete who suffered a potentially career-ending elbow injury at last year’s Commonwealth Games.

She is currently working to qualify for the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo.

Hubbard, 41, won the overall title by lifting 268kg, with Stowers lifting 261kg, and Sipaia lifting 255kg.

However, Sipaia managed to secure a gold medal for discipline after Hubbard failed at a clean and jerk lift, Inside the Games reports.

There was a cheer from the crowd when Hubbard was unable to make the lift. In response, she blew kisses at the crowd before leaving the competition platform.

Hubbard had been the favorite to win gold at last year’s Commonwealth Games which took place in Australia’s Gold Coast.

However, she was forced to pull out of the competition after suffering a serious elbow injury while attempting a lift.

It was later confirmed that she had ruptured a ligament in her arm which required surgery. There had been speculation that Hubbard would retire from weightlifting following the injury.

She is now working making the qualification criteria for next year’s Olympic Games. This will involve competing in six international events in under 18 months.

Hubbard has faced backlash over her rights to compete in female competitions in the past.

She had competed in male in weightlifting events before transitioning to female in her mid-30s.

A number of female athletes have come out in opposition to Hubbard being able to compete in women’s sports at an elite level.

This follows a 2016 ruling by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) which allowed athletes who are transitioning from male to female to participate without restriction.

IOC rules state that those transitioning must maintain their testosterone levels below a certain level for at least 12 months.

The IOC ruled that Hubbard met this criteria and was able to compete in women’s events. Olympic chiefs have come forward in defense of Hubbard’s right to compete in the past.

BABAYYY! It's going to be good! Peep the People summary and trailer below!! THEY'RE GOING TO COVER THE MICHAEL DARBY SEXUAL ASSAULT CHARGE!! Crazy Katie is back too!

PEOPLE has the exclusive trailer showing all the drama going down when the Bravo show returns for season 4 later this spring.

Housewives Gizelle Bryant, Karen Huger, Ashley Darby, Robyn Dixon, Monique Samuels and Candiace Dillard Bassett are all back for another round of fun in front of the cameras, joined this year by O.G. Potomac Housewife Katie Rost — who returns in the Friend of the Housewives role.

Of course, life in Maryland’s most affluent neighborhood isn’t all cherry blossoms.

Driving a chunk of the drama are the sexual assault claims against Ashley’s husband Michael Darby, which made headlines back in September when a Bravo cameraman accused Michael of “grabbing and groping” his butt while filming.

Both Ashley and Michael denied the alleged incident ever took place, and the Montgomery County State Attorney’s office dropped the charges of felony assault and misdemeanor improper sexual conduct against Michael in October. But the Potomac Housewives still appear to think he’s guilty.

“Michael likes big butts, I cannot lie,” Bryant quips in the trailer.

“Karma is a bitch, honey,” Huger tells Ashley, after implying that Michael might be going to jail. “Clankity clank. The bar of soap? You might want to help your husband.” Dillard also seems to disagree with Ashley’s assertion that “it did not happen.” In one of the trailer’s most heated scenes, she and Ashley get into an massive fight.

Though Samuels is pregnant (she welcomed her son Chase in November), she’s still fighting with Bryant, and appears to have found a new foe with Dillard.

“I’ll drag you, pregnancy and all,” Samuels yells at Dillard.

“Oh you’re going to drag me now?” Dillard asks. “You lying,” Dillard says, holding a knife Ashley’s way. “You putting out bulls—!”

“You better get that f–ing knife out of my m———— face,” Ashley says back.

That’s not the only reason people are talking about Ashley and Michael. The couple — who separated for six months between the show’s second and third season, amid a handful of arguments surrounding the running of their restaurant, a miscarriage.

Things are going little bit better with Robyn and her ex-husband Juan Dixon, who appear to be having sex again “like bunny rabbits.” Does that mean they’re ready to make things official? Robyn asks the same question. “At this point it’s like, what do we want?” she wonders.

Bryant has an opinion on that. She appears to tell Robyn in the trailer she’s “looking stupid,’ a comment Robyn doesn’t seem to like. “You’re an insensitive ass bitch,” she says in the trailer.

Huger is still mourning the loss of her two parents while working on the launch of her perfume bottle, while Bryant is focusing on mending old friendships — including one with Rost — before her book launch.

The Real Housewives of Potomac season 4 premieres May 5 (9 p.m. ET) on Bravo. Starting May 19, the series moves to its permanent timeslot at 8 p.m. ET.

But her husband refused, saying he wants to keep her comfortable in familiar surroundings.

Indiana toddler falls to her death after being 'dangled out of window' by her grandfather from 11th deck of a Royal Caribbean cruise ship docked in Puerto Rico

A toddler has fallen to her death after slipping out of her grandfather's arms on a cruise ship which was docked in Puerto Rico.

The 19-month-old girl from Indiana plunged 150 feet from the Royal Caribbean vessel in San Juan on Sunday afternoon.

Her grandfather is believed to have slipped and fallen while holding the toddler by a window on the 11th deck of the Freedom of the Seas ship.

Horrified passengers said they had heard a 'cry of pain' from the girl's mother. There we no reports regarding a possible "boingoingoing" sound being made on impact.

She's just a girl who cain't say no, it seems.

Carry on

“When the only sound in the empty street

Let's discuss the career of June Lockhart. To me, she always seemed rather "vanilla". When you consider her contemporaries were actresses like Shelley Winters, Donna Reed and Shirley Jones, June just sort of seemed to be "there" without carving a niche for herself. Even though June got her start in movies (both her parents were actors) and she had a nice noticeable role in "Meet Me In St. Louis" at 19 years old, she seemed to gravitate towards television.

But, she's still here and working with a long list of credits, so I guess she's done something right.

He tries to pretend he is above it all but he is one man who had the chance to save us from this monster of a leader, a criminal and a traitor, Mueller did a halfassed job.

Where is he today?

First time I saw him was in one of PumpingMuscle videos. He wasn't as muscular as in the pic below, but huge cock for sure. He seemed very involved in the so-called gay scene and teasing gay guys, correct? Has he forgotten about the gays now?

he New York Police Department (NYPD) said Tuesday that one person is being questioned in connection with a viral video of police officers being doused with water while responding to calls. The videos caused widespread outrage in the city and online. One video, taken in Harlem over the weekend, shows two officers being doused with water and pelted with empty buckets while making an arrest.

NYPD Chief Terrence Monahan responded to the incident on Twitter. "The videos of cops being doused with water and having objects hurled at them as they made an arrest in #Harlem is reprehensible," Monahan wrote. "NYC's cops & communities have made remarkable progress — together — but EVERY New Yorker MUST show respect for our cops. They deserve nothing less."

Another video, taken in Brooklyn on Saturday and posted on Instagram Monday, shows two drenched officers walking away from a group of people, who follow them and continue to pour buckets of water over the officers' heads. The officers involved in the incident were responding to a call about a disorderly conduct, CBS New York reports.

Now the poor people can get fat AND drunk conveniently.

Ben Affleck has taken his exercise routine to another level!

The 46-year-old has been spending more time at the gym and has even created a new regime to help him gain muscle and stay youthful, RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned.

“He’s developed an extreme power-lifting regime that he does on his own, without a trainer, to pack on more muscle than he had while making his superhero movies,” an insider exclusively shared with Radar. “He’s obsessed and working out to the point of collapse.”

According to the source, the Academy Award winner’s dedication to working out is not related to any upcoming projects.

“Ben shows up to the gym [in L.A.’s Brentwood area] at all hours of the day and night, in a hoodie and sunglasses, and works himself to the point of exhaustion,” the source continued. He’s looking like a linebacker these days and it’s not for a particular role either.”

Over the past year or so it seems like about a dozen friends and acquaintances, gay and straight, have gone down to CDMX on vacation and come back raving about it. Basic takeaway is:

* It's no longer even remotely dangerous. There are still bad areas, but the parts of town you'll be in are as safe as any major American city and there are police everywhere.

* The food is amazing and there's a big foodie sceene

* The weather is close to perfect--almost always in the low to mid 70s, only rains in summer and then just for a few hours, cools off at night

* Lots of great museums and things to see.

* Ubers everywhere and very inexpensive

* Very open and accepting gay scene--marriage is legal and all that

* Still relatively inexpensive

* Not overrun by American tourists

When Dow Corning faced thousands of lawsuits in the 1990s from women saying they had become sick from the company’s silicone gel breast implants, its parent firm, Dow Chemical, turned to one of the country’s leading experts in corporate bankruptcies: Professor Elizabeth Warren.

Warren, now a Democratic presidential candidate, has never publicly discussed her role in the case. Her campaign said that she was “a consultant to ensure adequate compensation for women who claimed injury” from the implants and that a $2.3 billion fund for the women was started “thanks in part to Elizabeth’s efforts.”

But participants on both sides of the matter say that description mischaracterizes Warren’s work, in which she advised a company intent on limiting payments to the women.

“She was on the wrong side of the table,” said Sybil Goldrich, who co-founded a support group for women with implants and battled the companies for years. Goldrich said Dow Corning and its parent “used every trick in the book” to limit the size of payouts to women. The companies, she added, “were not easy to deal with at all.”

A person familiar with Warren’s role who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe litigation strategy said the future senator was part of a Dow defense team that had containing the company’s liability as a goal.

Warren, a Democratic senator from Massachusetts and former Ivy League law professor, is building a White House campaign on her long-standing image as an advocate for consumers and a fierce critic of corporations. While Warren has won praise for a policy-driven platform offering a coherent critique of unchecked capitalism, she has yet to fully explain how her years of private consulting and legal work, sometimes on behalf of major corporations involved in bankruptcy cases, comport with her recent statements while campaigning.

“You know, those big corporations, they don’t have any loyalty to America,” Warren said during an MSNBC town hall in June. “They don’t have any loyalty to American workers. They have loyalty to exactly one thing, and that is their own profits.”

Australian swimmer Mack Horton took a stand at the 2019 FINA World Championships by, well, not taking a stand.

After winning a silver medal in the 400-meter freestyle event in Gwangju, South Korea on Sunday, Horton refused to step up to the podium and take a picture with the gold medalist, China’s Sun Yang.

Horton was protesting Yang being allowed to swim in the event despite a pending hearing before the Court of Arbitration for Sport that could potentially end the Chinese swimmer’s career. The 23-year-old has a history of criticizing Yang, who was suspended for three months in 2014 after testing positive for a banned stimulant called trimetazidine.

“This is going to continue to brew over the next 12 months.”

Following Horton’s protest, FINA announced that it would send a written warning to Horton and his country’s swimming governing body.

“While FINA respects the principle of freedom of speech, it has to be conducted in the right context,” the statement said.

The target of Horton’s protest told reporters that he didn’t mind the personal shot, but said he believed the gesture also disrespected China, according to the Associated Press.

"Disrespecting me was OK, but disrespecting China was unfortunate," Sun said.”I feel sorry about that."

As for the man himself, he decided to let the protest speak for itself.

“I don’t think I need to say anything,” Horton reportedly said. “His actions and how it has been handled speaks louder than anything I could say.”

Relatedly, there’s also evidence that voters who turned out for Obama in 2012 but then stayed home in 2016 are more moderate than the average Democratic voter on health care, another top issue in this campaign, making the progressive push to end private health insurance dangerous for Dems in swing states."

Are You the One? is about to make history when it returns to MTV.

The long-running dating program, which will premiere on June 26, is the first series in the United States to feature a sexually fluid cast. The show's signature format -- singles heading off to paradise in hopes of discovering their "perfect match" and splitting a $1 million prize if they find each other over the course of 10 weeks -- remains. But there's one difference from previous installments: All the participants this season identify as sexually fluid, meaning there are no gender limitations when it comes to their PM. Finding love is fair game -- so come one, come all.

Bwahahahaha.

I can't believe these freaks got their own show.

Enjoy!

I want one to assure myself of my posts

An early test of a new drug and method of blocking the HIV infection suggests they could overcome one of the biggest obstacles to combating the virus by keeping people on their medication, according to research released Tuesday.

The approach uses a small implant the size of a matchstick, inserted in the upper arm, to slowly release a new medication that appears to block the virus for a year or more. If it is proven safe and successful in larger studies, the method could be a major improvement for people at high risk of contracting HIV who have trouble adhering to the once-a-day pill regimen and other methods used now.

And 1000x nicer too.

Meh.

Doctors, nurses, and other hospital workers - do you find shows like Grey’s Anatomy, The Good Doctor, etc to be as unbelievable as I do? I realize these soap opera stories are not documentaries, but they really cross the line to be absurd. Don’t those shows hire professional consultants? Do non medical people think that the most ridiculous unethical behavior and impossible events actually happen? I worked in a big city teaching hospital for years and there was enough drama and humor to make a good show that wasn’t so outlandish. The best ones I can remember were Chicago Hope and St. Elsewhere. I suppose lawyers and cops have similar complaints about courtroom and detective shows.

Can you imagine that a Conservative Prime Minister would prorogue (terminate the current session) so that it couldn't vote against a no-deal Brexit in order to crash out of the EU?

Yes, I can imagine that this Tory party, for which polls show is willing to enact almost any damage to the Union for Brexit, would do so.

"Macy’s Removes Plates From Stores After Complaints They ‘Promote Eating Disorders’"

Macy’s has quit selling dinner plates that incited controversy online among people who said they advocated a “toxic message” of portion control.

Alie Ward, a science correspondent for the CBS series “Innovation Nation,” tweeted an image of the plates on Sunday with a caption asking how to get the dinnerware banned. Her photo showed a plate featuring smaller and smaller circles labeled, “mom jeans,” “favorite jeans,” and “skinny jeans.”

The plates, made by a brand called Pourtions that were being sold at Macy’s in-store concept shop, called Story, at the retailer’s flagship store in Manhattan’s Herald Square, aimed to provide “helpful — and hilarious — visual cues” that will “spice up your dinner table, and your conversation,” according to the Pourtions website.

Ward said the plates made her think of the “moms to young girls to guys who dismiss centuries of crushing beauty standards and laugh them off” when she saw them.

“I wasn’t being literal at all in terms of a legal ‘ban,’” Ward wrote to HuffPost in an email, explaining her initial tweet. She said she “just wanted to show the world how insidious beauty culture, and in this case one that shames women, can be. But I wanted Macy’s to know that what they carry and display matters, it can hurt people, and they’re accountable for it.”

Many other people on Twitter shared Ward’s outrage. Some argued that the plates may encourage eating disorders. One responder explained that the plates proliferate a “toxic message, promoting even greater women beauty standards and dangerous health habits.”

“These expectations can actually kill someone, and I know someone it has. [Macy’s], remove this from all of your stores and denounce the manufacturer,” reads the tweet.

Another person wrote that the plates aren’t funny “when you spend your entire existence being told how to look so you can catch a man/have value, and shamed for the most natural things like gaining weight from things like pregnancy, or eating whatever you freaking like.”

Ward said she has “friends who have been hospitalized for eating disorders, who cap off a good dinner by purging, know strong intelligent women who’ve starved themselves to be a certain size, and who obsess about calories so they’re not rejected or ridiculed.”

Macy’s told HuffPost it “quickly removed the plates” from the only location where they were on display after reviewing the complaint. “We apologize to our customers,” the retailer added.

Pourtions’ president Mary Cassidy told HuffPost that the brand feels badly if their plates, which were “meant to be a lighthearted take on the important issue of portion control,” were “hurtful to anyone.”

“Pourtions is intended to support healthy eating and drinking. Everyone who has appreciated Pourtions knows that it can be tough sometimes to be as mindful and moderate in our eating and drinking as we’d like, but that a gentle reminder can make a difference,” said Cassidy.

“That was all we ever meant to encourage. We ourselves use our glasses and plates every day to help us take our own advice. We know this is serious business. We also believe a touch of humor can, for some, be just the right touch,” she said.

Though some critics have called Ward “a whiner and a snowflake,” she was holding firm.

“When you take half a population and make them think that their power is in their value as a sexual object, you weaken their voice as a whole and you end up with a system that’s lopsided and out of balance,” she said. “So it’s not about plates, it’s about letting women know it’s okay to say ‘hey, f*ck this.’”

Thought She'd Be The New Laura Petrie

She wasn't even the new Richie.

I was thinking how I managed to cheat death 3 times in my life. The first was when I had a near heart attack with a 99.9% blockage in my left anterior descending artery ( the widow maker). Weird thing is, I often went for treadmill stress tests and nothing showed up. For 5 months, I had occasional chest pain but chalked it up to high blood pressure and disbelief I passed those stress tests with flying colors. My partner finally rushed me to the ER on a day I was setting off to take a long flight to Alaska. I ended up getting a heart stent but the docs couldn't get the guide wire through on the first two attempts. The open heart surg team was called in to get me ready. The third time was charm and the doctor got it through. Now I am am doing great. The second time, I had developed a bleeding ulcer from years of using Extra Strength aspirin for sinus headaches. WIth the blood thinner, I was bleeding to death where I could no longer stand up without passing out. If my partner wasn't here, I would have died on the living room floor. The third was when I nearly drowned in Hawaii, snorkeling. The riptide pulled me out so far, I couldn't swim back. One of my flippers fell off and wasn't wearing a life jacket. I called for help and two women, swam out to pull me in while the men watched from the shore. They finally came out to bring me in when I was closer to the beach. Don't know why I am still here but God ain't done with me yet.

I've Googled and can't seem to find what exactly is covered. Does anyone on here have one? What is covered? Do you have deductibles?

Continuation of the thread below:

If Marvel Studios plans on releasing any new movies next year, pre-production will have to begin soon. If there’s any truth to this latest rumor, The Eternals may be the first film on the docket. The Hashtag Show is reporting that Marvel is currently looking for an actor to play the film’s lead. According to the studio’s criteria, the actor must be someone who falls in the 30-49 age range and “physically looks like a superhero.” Moreover, Marvel would prefer it if the actor were openly gay.

The Hashtag Show also cited Kevin Feige’s comments when Ant-Man and the Wasp was released last summer. During press runs for that movie, Feige revealed that Marvel was looking to introduce an LGBTQ character in a future MCU film. However, he didn’t specify which one. Whoever the character is, it will continue the studio’s push toward a more diverse and inclusive cinematic landscape. It will mark the first time that a LGBTQ character has co-headlined a Marvel Studios production. A number of characters have fallen under THE ETERNALS‘ banner since Jack Kirby created the comic in 1976. Supposedly, the flim’s lineup will include Sersi and Ikaris. Director Chloe Zhao is also rumored to be considering The Umbrella Academy’s Cameron Britton and polish actor Tomasz Kot for roles in the film. But for now, there are no firm details.

Zhao is directing The Eternals from a script co-written by Matthew and Ryan Firpo. The film is allegedly targeting a September production start in the UK. Do you have any theories about which character Marvel is planning to cast? Tell us what you think in the comment section below!

“Despite Tom Holland definitively saying he and his “Spider-Man: Homecoming” co-star, Zendaya, aren’t dating, fans were shocked to see the 23-year-old actor step out with a mystery woman, whom Page Six has identified as Olivia Bolton, at British Summer Time in London’s Hyde Park this week. The pair put on a cozy display, which immediately sparked rumors that they’re a couple.

Holland and Bolton only fueled the rumors further with their matching all-black outfits and similar necklaces.”

Are they going on in your area?

For those of you who use a hand held shower head, how far do you spread your legs to get the cleanest effect? I recently found that if I spread the full length of the bathtub and spray up, I get the cleanest. I use thin white wash cloths and when I make sure to spread to the full width of the tub to wash the anal area directly I've noticed the wash cloth almost always comes back still white. I feel much more refreshed this way than before when I was not doing a full spread. I wanted to share this so others may share in this hygienic process. It’s also worth mentioning that I do pull on one butt cheek for proper water access.

When I get out of the shower and dry off I will also use toilet paper to ensure the anal area is as free of moisture as possible. I’m wondering if anyone else does this drying process or has a better way. Does anyone use a separate smaller towel just for this area?

After this process I follow it up by putting Gold Bond powder in my underwear before I pull them up. The tingling sensation from that on my genital and anal area is incredible.

I want to be sure to mention that this is for daily anal hygiene and not pre sex hygiene

Let’s make this a safe space where we can share, without fear, our anal hygiene experiences, ideas and questions. Thanks in advance!

A Russian LGBTQ activist, Yelena Grigoryeva, was fatally stabbed in St. Petersburg Sunday night after her name was listed on a website that encourages people to “hunt” LGBTQ activists, inspired by the torture-themed film "Saw."

Reports in the Russian newspaper Fontanka said that a suspect, a “40-year-old resident of Bashkortostan,” had been detained by police.

Grigoryeva, 41, was active with Russia’s Alliance of Heterosexuals and LGBT for Equality and other activist causes, according to the Russian LGBT Network.

So they cover the chairs and the white sheets and they pray in the room and prepare the room for me,” Bynum explained.

[quote]“And somewhere on the bureau, this is so embarrassing, they would have on the bed, I travel with a blanket that says ‘be still and know that I am God.’ And they put that blanket on the bed, and my pajamas are laid down on the bed.

At that point I was told that the pastor had entered my room without me being aware that he had been in my room.”

With over-tourism showing no signs of abating in Europe's most famous destinations, there's never been a better time to seek out wonderful options that attract fewer visitors.

Early on in the documentary David Crosby: Remember My Name, produced by Cameron Crowe and directed by A.J. Eaton, the famously cantankerous Crosby notes that back in the ‘60s, his soon-to-be-former Byrds bandmates weren’t too thrilled with him spouting his political views onstage or to the press. But a half-century later, Crosby is as unapologetically uncensored as ever — even giving his 2020 election endorsement to Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg.

“My favorite is Mayor Pete. I love the guy. He's the smartest man I've ever seen in politics ever, of all. He's smarter than all the rest of them put together,” Crosby says while sitting with Crowe at Yahoo Entertainment. “He's brilliant, and he's honest, and he's dedicated, and he's brave. Do you know how much guts it takes to go in the military when you're gay? Volunteer and go because you think you ought to, you don't want to be a privileged guy and get excused? Do you know what kind of morals it takes to do that? Yeah, I want him to be president. I really want him to be president. … Most politicians will turn around and tell you anything that you want to hear, to get you on their side, and then do completely other stuff when they get in there. Mayor Pete, I think, would not do that.”

As for anyone who might argue that musicians and celebrities should stay out of politics — as he’s been told for the past 50 years — Crosby barks wryly, “I tell them to shut up. I tell them, ‘I got the microphone. You ain't going to win this one.’ And I also usually ask them, ‘Whose concert do you think you were going to?’ I mean, what the hell? If you're going to complain about politics, you went to the wrong guy.”

Matt Damon and Ben Affleck will be reuniting on the big screen for the first time in decades!

The longtime best friends are co-writing the screenplay for the upcoming movie The Last Duel with Can You Ever Forgive Me? screenwriter Nicole Holofcener.

Matt and Ben are also starring in the revenge story of two best friends, which will be directed by Ridley Scott. The movie will be an adaptation of Eric Jager‘s book “The Last Duel: A True Story of Trial by Combat in Medieval France.”

Here is how Deadline describes the plot: “The main characters are the Norman knight Jean de Carrouges and the squire Jacques Le Gris. They were friends. One goes to war and returns to accuse Le Gris of raping his wife Margerite de Carrouges. No one will believe the woman, and the soldier appeals to the king of France to undo a decision handed down by Count Pierre d’Anencon, which favored Le Gris. The decision handed down is that the two men fight a duel to the death. The one left alive would be declared the winner as a sign of God’s will. And if Jean de Carrouges loses, his wife will be burned at the stake for punishment for her false accusation.”

The news was revealed after Matt was spotted leaving Ben‘s house holding a script and a copy of the book.

Matt and Ben won the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay in 1998 for their movie Good Will Hunting.

This time nine years ago, five teenage boys' dreams were in tatters after being rejected from the X Factor .

But determined not to let a good-looking gang go to waste, show boss Simon Cowell and his genius decided to put solo hopefuls Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson together.

It took the lads just five minutes to agree to his plan and have another crack at the competition - this time in the groups category.

They would go on to be one of the most successful boybands of the century, selling out stadiums and dominating the charts for five years before splitting in an explosion of bitterness and animosity.

But with no experience of harmonies, group singing or even each other, even then Liam wondered what they were really getting into. "We had seen each other at Bootcamp and got on well, and Niall and I had shared a room. But we were competition then, and at the back of the minds we knew were against each other," Liam would later recall.

"So it was strange when we were put together and my first thought was, 'How are we going to make this work when we don't know each other? It was such a leap of faith." Desperate to catch up with the other bands, the newly-formed five-piece spent an intense two intense weeks practising in a bungalow at the bottom of Harry's step-dad's garden in Holmes Chapel, Cheshire.

But contrary to their bright white smiles and boyish banter, their very different personalities were already beginning to show, laying the foundations for the resentment, jealously and anger that would one day cause the group to implode.

"We used to be at each other’s throats on the X Factor," Louis admitted on their This Is Us DVD of his clashes with Liam.

"Whenever I wanted to do anything slightly mischievous, he was always the daddy."

"Me and Louis did not get on at all," Wolverhampton-born Liam agreed. "We were two completely different characters. There was one point where I literally wanted to whack him."

Nevertheless, they sailed through the live shows and came third in the final before scoring a record deal with Cowell, who for them made n exception of only signing the winning act.

A mysterious fall out

By the time they scored their first number one with What Makes You Beautiful in September 2011, Harry and Louis were living as housemates in a rented £3million North London flat in the same block where Ashley Cole and Cheryl once met.

Then suddenly at the start of 2012 they allegedly stopped talking and moved out.

That’s so sad. :(

I see the protests in Hong Kong and Puerto Rico, where entire populations seem to flood the streets day after day, and wish we'd see that here more often. I know people say it's because we're too lazy or apathetic or ignorant but I don't know if that's the whole story. I think we are:

1. Too spread out. We can have hundreds of small local protests that will be ignored. Most people will not travel 6-8 hours to go to a protest.

2. Our economy is set up to disallow protest. The people most likely to protest or who need to protest the most are most likely not in charge of their own schedules at work. You protest for days, you lose your job.

3. Related to number 2, there is no affordable child care. In these countries with large, sustained protests, either it's young people without kids or extended families are the rule and the kids are all home with grandma.

4. Our police will arrest us if we don't have the right permit. This is insane. What kind of protest gets a permit and thinks that's going to change anything. But, that's how America works. Not many people are willing to take on the police.

5. The media ignores or downplays the protests that do happen because their corporate overlords have a vested interest in not fomenting dissent.

Those, among other things, work against mass protest in America. How do we work against them?

BTW, what happened to the gun protests from the organization started by the kids from Stoneman-Douglas? Where'd they all go? Did the media get bored? Did those kids give up?

“Andy Cohen treated me like a dog. He was, like, one of the worst bosses I ever had,” Kathy told People when asked about him. “And also, you know, the guy…he decides the entire slate at Bravo, and yet he gave himself a talk show [Watch What Happens Live] that magically gets renewed every year! So you know, I had a talk show at Bravo for two years that got canceled. And I thought yea..it’s sort of competition for Andy.”

Kathy concluded her statement with, “He has not been very kind.”

There are animals in nature that can change sex characteristics, even sex overall. Humans cannot do such thing (we know that), yet I sense the intention to mislead people by conflating two difference cases: sex changes in animals and human transgenderism (gender identity) as if there were the same, as if one proved the other. I'm sure this is a form of fallacy.

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (AP) — Authorities say a 23-year-old tourist from Chicago punched a worker in the face when her FastPass wasn't valid for the Tower of Terror ride at Disney's Hollywood Studios.

An Orange County Sheriff's report says the Disney World cast member offered to help the woman's group on July 13, but they only became angrier.

The Orlando Sentinel reports the woman started pushing buttons on the podium that could have affected the ride. When the employee pushed her hand away, the woman punched her in the face. The family yelled profanities and recorded the worker.

The group left the ride, but security tracked them down. Disney officials tell the Sentinel they issued a lifetime ban on the woman.

The worker didn't want to press charges and the woman wasn't arrested.

From the DL paper of record:

Screen siren Gina Lollobrigida, 92, was 'conned out of 3m euros, houses, and jewellery' by ex-chauffeur-turned-manager, 32, who 'raided her fortune to buy Ferraris and motorcycles after he gained control of the 'narcissistic' former actress's estate'

Sixties star allegedly defrauded out of millions of euros in assets and property

Prosecutors allege sums of money transferred from Gina Lollobrigida's account

Manager Andrea Piazzolla accused of buying Ferrari F12 and selling two hotels

Over five years he allegedly moved her cash into accounts in his parents' names

How realistic would it be to expect him to have a housekeeper, two cars, six kids. I guess there was insurance money too.

Russian boxer Maxim Dadashev has died after suffering a brain injury during a match on Friday evening, the Russian Boxing Federation announced Tuesday. It said the 28-year-old fighter's death happened "as a result of injuries suffered" in his fight with Subriel Matias.

What a depressing life. She was a homely woman to begin with, and having the name "Mayo" was not exactly going to help her become a star. She lost her husband to the likes of Lauren Bacall, and went back home to Oregon and drank herself to death. Any anecdotes about her? She had a supporting role in "Marked Woman" with Bogart and Bette Davis.

Kam McLeod and Bryer Schmegelsky were travelling from Port Alberni, B.C. to Whitehorse to find work. They stopped having contact with their families and were later thought to be victims of foul play when their pickup truck and camper was found burning in northern B.C. An unidentified man was found dead 2 kilometres away. Now, in a bizarre twist, they are suspects in the murder of an Australian man and his American girlfriend who, were found shot dead in a ditch by the Alaska Highway, and the still unidentified man 400 kilometres away. Someone spotted them in a different vehicle in northern Saskatchewan.

Trump has filed suit in federal court in Washington, DC, against the House Ways and Means Committee, the New York state attorney general and the New York tax commissioner to prevent the disclosure of his tax returns.

Forget the Amalfi Coast, Capri and the Riviera. The hottest destination in Italy these days is Lake Como.

The lake aside, Grisdale says that Lake Como's biggest appeal is the collection of small towns, including undiscovered gems that have seen nary a tourist. "They all have a lot of character, but each has its own atmosphere and feel," she says. "The locals often speak in Italian dialects to each other, and visiting is a very authentic experience of the region." Bellagio is the most touristy and can get crowded, but it is full of vibrant restaurants and bars as well as local boutiques selling chic fashions.

I had a little dinner party tonight, just 8 of us. One couple I invited because they are new friends of some dear friends, so I told them to bring them along. They seem fun and are new to town. I had one rule: don’t bring anything.

Well, what does that bitch couple bring but a DESSERT!!! And I already had a trio of dessert souffles prepared. You know what they brought? Fucking cupcakes from a box mix!!!! I was livid — the other guests took one each to be polite, which then filled them up before my special dessert! Have you ever experienced such a thing?? How fucking RUDE!

They will NEVER be invited over again!

I get goosebumps watching the clips, particularly the snarling faces of many in the crowd. Reminds me exactly of old newsreels I've seen of the crowds at Hitler's rallies.

tRump on Tuesday used his speech to the nation’s largest group of college Republicans to further his racist attacks against four minority congresswomen.

Trump spoke for an hour at the Turning Point USA summit in Washington. Though TPUSA is a group for collegiate Republicans, with more than 1,000 chapters across the country and a pattern of racism and white supremacy in its top ranks, organizers said the audience included droves of high school students who were invited as part of a recruiting effort.

The president ranted and raved about Reps. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) and Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.), four first-term minority members of Congress, whom he told to “go back” to the countries they came from earlier this month.

“Democrats are being dragged into a radical left position ... with these people that I believe honestly, they hate our country,” he said to applause. “I believe they hate our country.”

The president repeatedly lied about the congresswomen, saying they “talk about ‘evil Jews’” and “say horrible things about Israel” with “venom and hatred.”

He falsely claimed that Ocasio-Cortez “calls the people of our country and our country ‘garbage’” (as the Raleigh News & Observer reported, she said something else completely). He repeatedly called Tlaib a “crazed lunatic” and a “maniac” over a video that surfaced this week in which she’s dragged out of a Trump rally, yelling, before she became a congresswoman.

He then veered from the attacks and claimed ― again, and without evidence ― that voting in California is “rigged” against him, an echo of his previous lies that millions of people are voting illegally in the state.

With each lie and smear came hoots, hollers and several standing ovations from the young audience. The event, part of a four-day summit, echoed Trump’s speech in North Carolina last week, in which he said of the four congresswomen, “if they don’t like” this country, “let them leave.” That audience began chanting “send her back,” a reference to Omar, who came to this country as a Somali refugee before becoming a citizen.

The North Carolina rally was widely criticized by pundits on both sides of the aisle. But during the TPUSA event on Tuesday, speakers defended the president by parroting his racism.

Speaking before Trump, Eric Bolling ― a former Fox News host who was fired after a sexual harassment investigation ― said the president was right to tell them to “go back,” especially Omar, whom he called “anti-Semitic.”

“A Somali refugee coming over here and becoming a member of Congress, to complain about the system, that’s just hypocrisy to me,” Bolling said.

Though Bolling and Trump spent plenty of time lashing out at the congresswomen for speaking their minds, Trump contradicted himself and Bolling in his own closing statement — though of course, he was talking about Republicans:

“The story of America has always been written by everyday citizens who love their country so much, they couldn’t help but speak out.”

I searched! Don’t yell at me if another thread exists. I tried.

Anyway, there’s a making-of-the-last-season special on HBO right now and it is boring as hell. It’s so annoying.

The table read was a little bit interesting because you got some insight into the actors’ real personalities and relationships. Emilia Clarke seemed weirdly personally affected by the plot points. Kit too, but more sincerely so. It was funny to watch Sophie/Sansa laugh at him for being so emotional.

But that’s it. The rest of this soecial has been B roll of crew members doing things with props, but not doing much with them. I can only guess the point of this is to show how tedious making the show is. No wonder Dan B seems so depressive in his interviews.

His most popular song (and the only one many of them are award or) among Millennials is “When Doves Cry”, which I always loved also (I am also a Millennial), but this one is my favorite. It’s just ... COOL. The sound, lyrics, the way he sings it etc.

Top song. Prince was a genius.

Gurl, talking like a college frat boy doesn't make you straight.

So, Mom and I are on the couch on the front porch last night parTying, ripping cigs, pounding PBRs, blastin Tanya Tucker to the whole park and Uncle Terry pulls up in a brand new Buick. We’re like motherfucker how’d you get? I’ll be goddamned if Gran didn’t co-sign for that piece of shit fucker. We bout drove across town and whupped her ol ass. Old bitch wouldn’t even help us get a new TV at RentACenter. Now Mom is saying we’re should go over and get her silverware. This is some fucking bullshit

Have we ever had a thread about her? She's suppposedly a real bitch. Has anyone met her?

Get your fucking facts straight!!! AAH!!!

It's ongoing. Is anybody into the films this year? I haven't had a chance to sift through the program yet.

Next two weeks (or so) something staggering is gonna bust loose.

I do not know the specifics. Those are the words from my source.

Have you decided what new things you want to plant or start from seed? I’m thinking of starting zinnias & cosmos indoors. I used to toss cosmos seeds atop the mulch in April, but we get too many late freezes now, all the way into May. So I threw them into the mulch in late May & they didnt bloom til late October. Now I’m going to start them indoors in March.

I’ve ordered some Full Moon coreopsis at half price from American Meadows. I have Happy Return daylilies along the side of my house, but they only bloom for a week, then after that I’d get one bloom here, one bloom there. Then the deer got hungry and started eating the lilies overnight on the day of bloom & they didnt last 3 days. I’m going to eventually rip up the lilies & replaced with good sized lemon yellow coreopsis.

Madame X scores again with her newest video for "Batuka," a track from MADAME X which is already a worldwide streaming hit.

Other Madame X News: From the tour rehearsals, it appears that Madonna will be performing "Rescue Me," one of the new tracks on her 1990 release, 'The Immaculate collection.' "Rescue Me" has never been performed in concert before.

This dispels the inaccurate claims that the MADAME X tour would solely include songs from that album that hit #1 in the USA earlier this month.

MADAME X - comin' atcha!

I borrowed $56k to go to law school in the late 90s. I graduated and passed the bar in 2002. In 2003 I developed melanoma cancer and was unable to work for 3 years and could not pay my loans. When I finally made a full recovery I was close to $100k in debt for medical expenses and my loans had ballooned to $88k with interests and penalties. I went Chapter 7 and erased the medical debt, but the student loans were not discharged. I am one of the fortunate ones in the world. I was able to find employment after this ordeal with a government agency where I now have top quality health care and am on the 10 year public service plan for the student loan. I pay based on a percentage of my income and after 10 years the balance is discharged. This nightmare took forever and a day to manage and I still have another 4 years until I am done with this mess. Hillary Clinton was one of the Democratic Senators who voted with all the Republicans to revise the bankruptcy laws to disallow student loans from being discharged after a catastrophic event in bankruptcy. I hate her to this day!

Does anyone else have a student loan nightmare story to share. Just typing this out was cathartic, so please feel free to unload.

Like father, like daughter.

Ivanka Trump congratulated British lawmaker Boris Johnson for his imminent appointment as prime minister of the United Kingdom ― with a Twitter typo.

The daughter of the president ― who himself is well known for spelling mistakes on his favorite social media platform ― wrote “United Kingston” instead of United Kingdom.

It follows President Donald Trump’s similarly embarrassing gaffe last month, when he called Prince Charles the “Prince of Whales” instead of the Prince of Wales following a state visit to the U.K.

Ivanka Trump later deleted her misspelled tweet and replaced it one with the name of the country spelled correctly. But not before her error was immortalized online.

[quote] Apparently United "Kingston" has a new prime minister! A month ago her dad praised the Prince of “Whales.” It runs in the family...

So they narrow it down to she's involved in fish conservation and Arlene asks a question and Miss Kilgallen says "But she said they were alive after she was finished doing whatever she does to them?" And Bennett says "Dorothy that's what conservation means."

And then later on the humiliated Dorothy tries to get back at the guest and says "I have a question for you, let's say you counted wrong? Who'd ever know?" All smug like, then the contestant says "nobody."

Somehow I don't think she'd approve, but she'd cope.

I mean he still appears from time to time on various talk shows giving his supposed expertise. As a kid in the 90s I had a crush on him and found him to be both handsome and in good shape. I used to watch his Celeb Rehab show but grew skeptical given the several deaths and run-ins with the law cast members had following their time with him.

The other day I checked his twitter and OMFG. While he's not retweeting Trump and all that, he's basically Trump-adjacent. He appears on some Fox "News" shows like "The Five". He has or had Leeanne Tweeden (the now questionable Al Franken accuser) as a co-host on his radio show. He has other deplorable friends too

I saw him retweet a fucking Breitbart article that quoted him the other day.

His newest crusades are endlessly talking about the homeless issue in LA and he has a theory that LA could suffer from the bubonic plague because of rats

yet at the same time he still has a number of mainstream celebrity friends who are not deplorables. It's like they either overlook or don't follow his recent activity.

Why hasn't he been ostracized? Is it just because he's not retweeting Trump's racism?

Juvenile judge Tracie Hunter began her six months jail sentence Monday for illegally giving her brother, a former government employee, confidential records to help him keep his job in Hamilton County, Ohio. The packed courtroom erupted into chaos after Judge Patrick Dinkelacker executed Hunter’s sentence, which she was given in 2014, but had been delayed while Hunter appealed the conviction. Video of the brawl in the courtroom shows Hunter’s supporters rushing in to confront the judge and police, as bystanders loudly protest the ruling. In the scrum of bodies, a woman wearing a shirt that reads ‘Justice for Judge Tracie M Hunter’ is seen getting handcuffed as Hunter is dragged off camera by an officer.

Hunter’s case was highly disputed in Cincinnati and involves her brother, Stephen Hunter, who worked as a youth corrections officer when he allegedly struck a juvenile offender in July, 2013. The incident led to Stephen Hunter’s firing. Prosecutors say Tracie Hunter improperly demanded documents about the teen, then gave them to her brother. In 2010, Tracie Hunter became the first African American elected to Hamilton County’s Juvenile Court. She has asserted that her conviction was politically motivated. The city’s Mayor John Cranley wrote a letter to Judge Dinkelacker asking him not to place Hunter in prison, claiming she suffered enough from her conviction and does not pose a public threat.

Hunter has maintained her innocence throughout the trial, despite a jury’s ruling that she mishandled a confidential document to help her brother keep his job. She told WLWT: ‘I violated no laws, I did not secure a public contract, I did not secure employment for my brother who worked for the court for about seven years before I was elected judge.’ ‘They need to drop these unrighteous and I believe unlawful charges against me.’ Hunter’s lawyer said they plan to file a motion to dismiss the case against the former juvenile judge. After the courtroom outburst, Hunter’s supporters rallied outside the courthouse for hours.

She's talked about how she had to really work at being able to do interviews because she's really introverted. This clip of her playing some VR game on Fallon doesn't read as high maintenance to me. I think she'd be fun to hang out with in an awkward creative dork type way.

People feel strongly about straws, and US president Donald Trump is here to capitalize on that. “Liberal paper straws don’t work,” tweeted Trump’s campaign, with a link to purchase a pack of 10 red plastic straws emblazoned with Trump’s name for $15.

If you think all that’s outrageous about a $1.50 plastic straw is the price, think again.

For environmentalists, plastic straws have become a potent symbol for the toxic and persistent scourge of single-use plastic—an everyday item that can be easily eliminated from use, not unlike the plastic bag.

[Quote]The number of those subscribers dropped during a time when the price for Netflix went up. In January, the company announced that it was raising its rates by anywhere from 13 to 18 percent, depending on the subscription plan, with the increases hitting existing subscribers in March.

I saw someone mention in another thread that they’ve been in a situation similar to what I am in now, so I wanted to start a thread to see if anyone else was in this situation and had some advice.

My dog and I recently joined my husband in Columbus, Ohio after living together and being married in Minneapolis for the past seven or so years. I’m hoping people might share some tips and tricks pertaining to relocation and building a new life in an unknown city! He moved a few months ahead, so he has that advantage, but we are also living in his home town! The positive side of that is we’ve been here for family holidays, but I’m still new to it!

Anyone had a similar situation? Tips and tricks to adjusting?

I have a wide range of gyms in my area, and so far I like Equinox the most. It's kind of expensive though. Is the cost worth it? How are the trainers? How's the social scene?

Creatively speaking, predicting the near future only feels like a fun project when it isn’t you who has to do it. I’ve done it loads, normally as satire, and it never ages well. Within a startlingly short period, all of your insights are either inane or insane, or not even funny now they’re no longer bleeding-edge counterfactual, but just plain wrong.

Consider, for example, Back to the Future Part II, which was made in 1989 and set in a 2015, where everybody had a fax machine in their bathroom, and a hoverboard, and wore a double tie. Eh? Closer to home, I once wrote what I thought was a quite good tale about a 2019 military coup at a music festival, which centred on a character who was a bit like George Osborne finally having had enough of playing second fiddle to one who was a bit like David Cameron. What can I say? The future ain’t what it used to be.

So do you agree?

Much has been made about how millennials and Gen Z are different — or not — from their Baby Boomer elders, and what that means for business and society.

To some, the difference is glaring. Soft and dewy-eyed millennials, it was said, really do see the world in an entirely new way.

To others, not so much. Young people today (always loved that phrase) are just that, young now, with predictably fresh ideals that will, soon enough, age with them. In short — this narrative goes — younger generations of 2019 aren’t different from any other younger generation.

So which is it? Are the younger generations today really different, or is that just what people always say?

Of course there’s something to the latter point, but having cogitated about this quite a bit, I think we need to recognize that there really is something unusual about today’s younger generations.

If you buy that argument, there are huge implications here. But first let me explain why I think this is the case.

The first question to ask is, have there been historical or societal developments over the past few decades that might cause younger generations to be different? I would argue yes. After the tumult of the 1960s (more that later), not all that much changed in the world in the 1970s, 1980s and into the 1990s. But then, significant changes came, right as millennials were coming of age.

One of the first and biggest of those shifts was the Digital Revolution. And that —technology — is the most important reason why today's young people are unlike the old. Obvious yes, but there’s much more to this than you might think. Each succeeding generation is now increasingly digital, and that change is accelerating. A 6-year-old child today has as much digital knowledge and expertise as a 60-year old. Because of that, they say, Gen Zers have an eight-second attention span. Who knows if that’s really true, but it’s apocryphal enough.

Millennials and Gen Zers are used to conducting life through their cellphones, says Denise Dahlhoff, senior researcher for consumer research at The Conference Board. “The concept of having access to lots of info 24/7 shapes their behavior and their expectations. Also the idea of having a voice through social media that can be amplified throughout the world.”

Let’s face it: The import and effect of all that is unknown, incipient, and can’t be overstated.

A personal anecdote exemplifying differences: When I began in the news business in 1985, the exchange of information from my bosses to me was about 98% from them and 2% from me back to them. The editors told me everything about writing, reporting, interviewing, etc., on the one hand. On the other hand, a few editors would ask me which bars were cool now. That’s about it.

Today, I would say that ratio has swung to somewhere around 50%-50%. Yes, people like me are now the ones imparting best practices to young reporters. But I am constantly peppering them with questions about digital tools, analytics — never mind help with devices.

All of this is shifting the balance of power at work — and in our economy writ large. Think about Silicon Valley and the new corporate juggernauts that hold such sway over our economy. The youth-power of Google (GOOG, GOOGL) and Facebook (FB), for example, is stunning and unprecedented. Unencumbered by legacy pre-digital thinking, those companies have almost overnight achieved positions of global dominance, which by the way — no small point here — would probably be best served by some older-think.

This is HYSTERICAL.

Billy Joel revealed in the upcoming issue of Rolling Stone that he wasn’t a fan of Michael Jackson’s 1985 charity hit, ‘We Are The World’, even though the all-star track features Joel singing along with Bruce Springsteen, Lionel Richie, Tina Turner and others. “I remember most of us who were there didn’t like the song, but nobody would say so,” Joel admitted. “I think Cyndi Lauper leaned over to me and said, ‘It sounds like a Pepsi commercial.’ And I didn’t disagree.” Joel added that just as Jacko was “constantly applying makeup.”

All I get is a blank grey box. Is this happening to everyone?

I have several friends, whom I love dearly, but I am often reluctant to call them -- unless I have infinite time.

They are interesting/fun to talk with at dinner, but are tedious/laborious on the phone.

They will talk for over 40 minutes about their jobs, dogs, or travels. I want to put the phone down and go for a walk and come back in 30 minutes and say, "Yes, of course."

How do you deal with friends who talk too much on the phone?

Drag Race's Brooke Lynn Hytes on hugging Justin Trudeau

You recently met Justin Trudeau – how was that? "He gave us the best hugs. He is one of those people that when he hugs you, you can feel it. I felt every one of his abs pressed against me."

Oh my Jesus. Yeah, it was lovely. He had a full on conversation and then we took pictures. You know when someone says ‘let’s take a picture?’ and it signals the end of the conversation? We took the picture and then he kept on talking [laughs]. I was like, ‘Oh, we’re still talking?’ So he was really lovely, sweet and engaging, and could not have been nicer.

Do you realise how many people you’re gonna make jealous with that abs comment? It was body pressed against body. It was a hug hug, like a bear, a tight good squeeze. I was like a little school girl, ‘Hehehehehe.’

Okay stop I can’t take this anymore. LGBTQ people love him. You’d never seen other high-ranking officials hugging a drag queen… No! The gag of it was, his team reached out to us. We literally got an email the day before saying, ‘Hey, Justin wants to meet Brooke Lynn.’ That was the craziest thing of all, that they reached out to me. I think a lot of people on his staff were fans of mine. I don’t think Justin was like, ‘Oh my god, Brooke Lynn Hytes!” The leader of a country reached out to a drag queen.

You were literally summoned by Justin Trudeau. I was summoned to meet the Prime Minister. Like, ‘Hey, I want to meet you, man in a wig.’ I was like, ‘Okay.’ It was the highlight of my life.

[quote]In a world where superheroes embrace the darker side of their massive celebrity and fame, the show centers on a group of vigilantes known informally as “The Boys,” who set out to take down corrupt superheroes with no more than their blue-collar grit and a willingness to fight dirty. It is a fun and irreverent take on what happens when superheroes – who are as popular as celebrities, as influential as politicians and as revered as gods – abuse their superpowers rather than use them for good.

Gay rights organizations demanded Tuesday that one of Jerusalem’s two chief rabbis take back remarks he made declaring that homosexuals cannot be religious and that homosexuality is uncontrolled lust that can be conquered by belief in God.

Rabbi Shlomo Amar, the Sephardic chief rabbi of the capital, made the comments during a sermon last weekend in Ashdod. A short video of his remarks was published by the Kan public broadcaster on Monday evening.

The incident came after earlier this month Education Minister Rafi Peretz, also an ordained rabbi, caused uproar by indicating his support for gay conversion therapy, a controversial process that purports to make gay people heterosexual.

Amar, a former chief rabbi of Israel, has also caused controversy in the past by saying that homosexuality is an “abomination.”

Portrait of Sephardi Shlomo Amar, at the time Sephardic chief rabbi of Israel, on November 3 , 2010. (Abir Sultan/Flash 90) “There are people who call themselves religious who also fell into that trap,” Amar told the audience in reference to gay people. “They aren’t religious. It would be better if they cast off their kippah and Shabbat [observance] and show their true faces.

“With their bodies they sin against the Jewish people,” he said, using a Talmudic phrase meaning they are irreligious.

“God knows that it is a lust, a wild lust that needs to be overcome and it can be overcome,” Amar continued.

Referring to conversion therapy, Amar said, “Everyone can overcome. There’s no need for understanding or a psychologist or any nonsense. All they need is to be God-fearing — just belief in God to overcome.”

Three gay religious support groups, Bat-Kol, Havruta, and the Gay Religious Community, issued a joint statement Tuesday questioning by what authority Amar could decide their commitment to religion. “As religious men and women it is not clear to us from where the rabbi draws the power to push us out of Judaism. How does he dare to ask us to give up Shabbat observance and so give up on our religious identity?”

“Rabbi Amar, with your harsh comments you called on our families to vomit us out of our homes and from our communities.”

Eran Globus, director of the Jerusalem Open House, the capital’s leading gay organization, called on Amar to contemplate the damaging effect of his comments.

“Rabbi, we are those whom you meet at the ceremonies and in the yeshivas, in the city streets and in the synagogues,” Globus said in a statement. “Try to think of these thousands of young faces you have seen, looking at you with respect and awe, so that you can begin to grasp the unbearable price they are paying for your irresponsible words.

“We call on you to retract your harsh remarks,” Globus said.

Trump was caught in a lie when he claimed he’d been asked to mediate the Kashmir conflict between India and Pakistan.

George Hodgman, a well-regarded book and magazine editor who had his own moment as a literary cause célèbre in 2015 when he published “Bettyville,” a memoir about caring for his aging mother that also delved into his growing up gay in a Midwestern town, died on Saturday at his home in Manhattan. He was 60.

His cousin Molly Roarty said the cause was thought to be suicide.

As a top editor at Henry Holt & Company and then at Houghton Mifflin, Mr. Hodgman shepherded numerous best-selling and award-winning books into print. But in 2011 he lost his job in a reshuffling at Houghton Mifflin. It turned out to be his own ticket to the best-seller list.

He went to see his widowed mother, Betty, in Paris, Mo., midway between St. Louis and Kansas City, Mo., a visit he expected to last two weeks. Two weeks became two months, and then it became a commitment to stay with her as she grappled with dementia.

She was suspicious of him at first.

“She must keep an eye out,” he wrote in the book. “I am a schemer. There are things going on behind her back, plans afoot, she fears. She has no intention of cooperating with any of them.”

Original thread started by brave OP and continued by OP's many fans..

Two gay adult video performers decided to protest anti-gay bigots in California in the steamiest way possible.

Michael DelRay and Dante Colle were at Santa Monica Pier while protesters shouted religious-fueled hate at the crowds.

Holding a sign reading “Where will you spend eternity? The fool has said, ‘There is no God.’ Repent or Perish,” one of the protesters yelled into a megaphone about ‘escaping damnation’ and accusing those at the pier of a “rebellion against God.”

According to a tweet from Colle, he and DelRay approached the preachers to ask “how to be forgiven for our sins.”

“There’s no helping you guys,” was apparently the response.

“Well. Might as well enjoy it then,” Colle wrote.

In the video, Colle and DelRay start making out in front of the homophobes, gradually building in intensity, with Colle removing DelRay’s shirt and DelRay then returning the favor.

Colle then picks DelRay up, mock humps him, and sinks to the ground with DelRay straddling him as they continue to kiss.

And all the while, onlookers cheer in support.

I had a little dinner party tonight, just 87 of us snowed-in for the winter. One couple I invited because they are new friends of some dear hors d'oeuvres, so I told them to come along. They seem fun and are new to butter-churning and horse shoes. I had one rule: don't bring anything.

Well, what does that bitch couple bring but a BASKETFULL OF EYEBALLS!!! And I already had a trio of eyeball souffles prepared! You know what they brought? Fucking marinated eyeballs to mix with salads from tree bark!!!! I was livid — the other guests took one each to be polite, which then filled them up before my skin-wrapped tongue crêpes. Have you ever experienced such a thing?? I don't mind eating the flesh of those who died of natural causes, but I don't need to see them looking back at me! How fucking RUDE!

They will NEVER be invited over again!

The other day, he said getting married and having kids was the worst decision he has ever made. He said he doesn’t get along with his wife but he has three kids and he can’t leave. All three kids ignore him. He just wants to sell his house and move into the woods. I told him to tell his wife and kids how he feels but he’s too chicken.

Anyone have it as badly as I do? About ten years ago I finally found a dentist who does oral sedation and I was doing well for awhile, going regularly. However since I retired I have no dental insurance and haven't been for about 4 years now. Have not had any problems until the past week or so when I developed a little sensitivity in a back corner - it comes and goes, some days doesn't bother me at all. But I am just fucking TERRIFIED to make an appointment and go. Rooted in childhood experiences too gruesome to describe. Looking for encouragement and support and not snarky comments PLEASE.

An unfortunate trend with no end in sight!

I'm very health-conscious and would prefer to meet and hook up with other health-conscious guys. For reference, I live in South Florida but would consider even leaving the country and hanging out somewhere in Montreal or Vancouver or Montevideo or Barcelona or Madrid and whatnot.

I’ve been married for a few years and my husband and I still have sex almost every day. Not always penetration, but some kind of intimacy. Even if one of us is traveling or separated, we will FaceTime each night and some clothes come off.

How many couples are at that frequency?

I know this is reading as a “humble brag” but I am genuinely curious!

WASHINGTON — Prominent human rights organizations, presidential candidates, Democratic senators and religious leaders are sounding the alarm over the Trump administration’s new Commission on Unalienable Rights.

A trio of letters sent Tuesday to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, and obtained by NBC News, accuse the State Department of sidelining rights of women and the LGBTQ community in favor of religious liberty.

Pompeo launched the commission earlier this month, saying it would “provide fresh thinking” about returning the government’s focus to promoting “natural law and natural rights.” Human rights groups fear that’s code for ending or limiting U.S. advocacy abroad for marginalized groups.

One letter being sent Tuesday by more than 180 rights groups — including the American Civil Liberties Union, the Center for Disability Rights and the Anti-Defamation League — demands that the commission be abolished. The groups say the commission is being overseen by clergy and scholars “known for extreme positions opposing LGBTQI and reproductive rights," including some who they say have defended “indefensible human rights violations.”

“We urge you to immediately disband this body,” the groups write. Instead, they implore Pompeo to “focus your personal attention on the significant challenges currently facing the protection of human rights globally.”

At the same time, 22 U.S. senators — almost half of the Democrats in the upper chamber — are pushing back on the suggestion “that there is any ‘confusion’ over what human rights are.” In their letter to Pompeo on Tuesday, the Democrats call that “simply an Orwellian twist to defend the indefensible.”

“Instead of condemning gross human rights violators, President Trump has fawned over Kim Jong Un, embraced Vladimir Putin, praised Rodrigo Duterte, looked the other way as Xi Jinping imprisons millions, and covered up for Mohammed bin Salman,” the senators write in a letter voicing “deep concern” about the commission and its leadership.

The letter organized by New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez, the top Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, was also signed by several Democrats who are running for president in 2020, including Sens. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., Kamala Harris, D-Calif., Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., Cory Booker, D-N.J., Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., and Michael Bennet, D-Colo.

The State Department had no specific comment on the new letters, but pointed to remarks Pompeo made recently in a Washington Examiner interview in which he said that people in the United States take rights for granted "and then we start throwing around rights language about things that are rights of ours."

One of the finest of all post-war actors. Very hot, despite his jug ears. Superb in "The Set-Up" and "Caught."

They are showing it on TV right now and I am watching it for the first time in probably 20 years, and its quite enjoyable!

I did. His name was John. He spent very little time with the other people in our high school because he had been shunned in elementary school and junior high for being hyper and obnoxious--but as he got older he got quieter, and had (for the time) a very good athletic body. He would go to bars downtown with a fake ID to pick up men. He also was infamous for hanging out in the men's bathrooms in the local mall to suck random guys off. The rumor was that he also escorted. He wasn't technically out to people at my high school, but everyone knew about him.

When we graduated, he bought a motorcycle and went down to Palm Springs to become part of a throuple (though we didn't have that term back then) with two wealthy middle-aged men who lived there. Seven years later he died back home at his parents' house, in suburban Minneapolis, of complications from AIDS.

So I’ve always identified as a gay man. I’ve always been attracted to and had relationships with men. Over the last few months I’ve grew close to a female co worker of mine and I’m starting to like and feel a sexual attraction towards her. We were hanging out the other night and she’s always sitting on my lap when we watch movies etc but my dick randomly got hard for her and it confused me so much. I jumped up and excused myself hoping she didn’t notice but I think I’m starting to really like her more then a friend. I’m just so confused at the moment. Ive only ever been sexual with men before and this has really confused me. I honestly don’t know what to do or what’s going on any advice?

What a beautiful creation.

t is difficult for Miles to pinpoint the moment his muscle dysmorphia started. It was just always there, a background hum. “As far back as I can remember, I wanted a better-looking body,” says the 35-year-old US soldier, now stationed in Mons, Belgium. When he was 13, Miles spent a summer cutting grass to save up for a secondhand Soloflex exercise machine. The machine cost $1,000 (£800), but as Miles was too young to join a gym, it was worth the expense. With the help of the Soloflex, Miles started weight training and never looked back.

When he returned from a posting to Afghanistan at 24, things spiralled. He began obsessively working out and regimenting his meals. “I went all in ... it was full, hardcore dedication to the lifestyle.” Miles set his watch to beep every three hours, to remind him to eat. If it beeped when he was driving, he would pull over. Slowly, he whittled his body into shape. His muscles became striated, every fibre visible. Not big enough. At 95kg (210lbs) and 1.8 metres (6ft 2in), Miles wanted to be more muscular; leaner. He lost 22kg and started competing in amateur bodybuilding competitions. There was virtually no fat on him. “You pinch your skin and it just stays pinched.” His girlfriend left him. “She began to realise that my body dysmorphia was like dating another person.” The pursuit of muscularity took over his life. “I just thought, I am so lean, and shredded, and veiny, and masculine – I don’t ever want to go back to how I was before.”

Yet by 33, single again – the dysmorphia had claimed yet another relationship – it had all become too much and he was in a dark place. “I did not enjoy life in any way, shape or form.” All day long, he would starve himself, struggle through punishing workouts, go home and binge-eat before throwing it all up. One evening, waiting in line at the burger chain In-N-Out for more food to purge, Miles finally decided enough was enough. “I woke up so happy the next day, knowing it was over.”

‘In the In the 70s, we saw very slim, almost androgynous men, like Mick Jagger, and David Bowie ... to be muscular was to be defined as to be militaristic.’ ‘In the In the 70s, we saw very slim, almost androgynous men, like Mick Jagger, and David Bowie ... to be muscular was to be defined as to be militaristic.’ Photograph: Peter Mazel/Sunshine/Rex/Shutterstock A subset of body dysmorphic disorder, individuals with muscle dysmorphia feel they need to become bigger or more muscular, regardless of their size. Sometimes referred to as “bigorexia”, it typically affects men. About 30% of people with muscle dysmorphia will also have a medically diagnosable eating disorder – although as you need to be in calorie deficit to be diagnosed with an eating disorder, many men with the condition won’t meet the clinical threshold, despite following extremely restrictive diets. Because men with muscle dysmorphia rarely seek treatment, estimating its prevalence in the general population is hard, but it is believed that about 10-12% of professional male weightlifters meet the criteria.

And muscle dysmorphia may be on the rise. A study published in June found that 22% of men aged 18-24 reported muscularity-oriented disordered eating. “The drive for a bigger, more muscular body is becoming very prevalent,” says the lead researcher Dr Jason Nagata of the University of California, San Francisco. Not everyone who benches 180kg has muscle dysmorphia. It is when working out takes over your life, occluding all else – work, family, friends – that you have a problem. “Their entire day is spent at the gym trying to bulk up,” says Nagata. “They may also be taking illicit supplements like steroids.”

Play Video 7:51 Steroids, syringes and stigma: the quest for the perfect male six-pack - video What drives a generation of young men to slavishly pursue this physical ideal? “Over the past decades, the idealised male body image has got bigger and bulkier,” says Nagata.

I've greatly enjoyed spending time with Ricky Decker from Sean Cody when he visited LA.

“Vanessa Dillon, 41, is a bisexual woman marrying Bob Bissonnette, 36, a bisexual man. Each has dated people of more than one gender in the past. Not adhering to monogamy, they might continue to do so after they are married. But at their wedding, to outsiders they appear straight.

“If I was marrying a woman, it would be obvious to everyone that I am queer,” said Ms. Dillon of Brisbane, Australia. “But because I’m holding hands with a man instead of a woman, everyone assumes I’m hetero. People think if you settle down with a bloke, you are all of a sudden straight again.”

So at their wedding, which is scheduled to take place Sept. 29 at a bandstand in a public park in Brisbane, Ms. Dillon and Mr. Bissonnette, both data analysts, are making plans with this in mind.

Their officiant is a friend who mostly performs queer weddings. The table for drinks will be covered in the rainbow gay pride flag. The bisexual pride flag, with its pink, purple and blue stripes, will drape the table with the registry. All the decorations — she is hand-making their wedding flowers out of paper — will be in those colors. Both of them are wearing custom Converse sneakers with rainbows over them, along with their wedding date, and he’ll also wear a purple bow tie.

Bisexuality is an identity that gets erased with frequency,” said Maddie Eisenhart, the chief revenue officer of A Practical Wedding, a website that offers advice to couples, including those who are in the L.G.B.T.Q. community. “Five or six years ago it was taboo to talk about being a bisexual within the context of marriage,” Ms. Eisenhart said. “Now people are talking about how to make their identity known even more.”

Kelsey Grammer stepped out in London on Wednesday afternoon clutching a script with 'Frasier' emblazoned across the front of it.

The American actor - who played the titular Dr Frasier Crane in the sitcom, and beforehand in Cheers - held the pages close to him as he made his way to rehearsals for Man Of La Mancha, the musical he will star in when it opens at the London Coliseum later this month.

But the star, 64, seemed to have more than one project on his mind, clearly bringing the script along with him to work on in his breaks.

The front of the file featured the 'Frasier' logo, used at the start of each episode. Next to this was the word GRAMMNET - the name of Grammer's production company, known for producing various shows featuring the thespian over the years.

The appearance of the script appears to not only confirm that the show is set for a comeback, but that at least one new episode has been written - the first since the series ended in 2004.

Rumblings of the iconic comedy returning to screens have been rife over the past year or so, since the likes of Will & Grace and Roseanne [later re-branded as The Conners] were resurrected successfully.

Grammer all but confirmed that scripts were being written in an interview last month, hinting at the plot that's in the pipeline.

Speaking to Metro, the actor - who played the titular character from 1984 [in Cheers] until 2004 [when spin-off series Frasier came to a close] - teased that the reboot would mirror the storyline that Frasier was based around when it first aired in 1993.

This centered around Frasier's relationship with his father, Martin Crane, played by the late John Mahoney.

‘Whether he’s got six children and a wife in the islands somewhere, he needs to come back to probably resolve things with his son Frederick, which mirrors the show in the first place,’ Grammer said.

He said: 'Will & Grace have done a continuation now, and it's basically the next day from when they were last on air, and I don’t think that’s appropriate for Frasier. We hope somebody wants to write the cheque, but no one has come up to us yet.’

It seems the cheque may have now been written, however.

But going by Grammer's latest hints, fans can likely expect the character of Frederick to become a more permanent fixture, potentially filling the gap left by Mahoney.

Frederick was 15 when he last appeared on Frasier, in the episode High Holidays, and so would be 31 if the show returns in 2020.

Frederick was portrayed by Christopher and Kevin Graves in Cheers, and Luke Tarsitano for his first Frasier appearance, later swapped for Trevor Einhorn until the show ended.

The return of the character will no doubt pave the way for Frasier's ex-wife Lilith, Frederick's mother, to make a return to the series, played by Bebe Neuwirth.

If you can only pick one porn star, past or present, to have sex with....who will it be ?

Be honest. Admit it!

Were they spies or did they solve murders or something? The only thing I can really remember about the show is the theme song and that gruff guy doing the voice over.

1. Keep it short

2. Tell us about yourself when it's relevant: if you are asking for advice on restaurants, tell us what kind of food you like to eat, what types of places you usually go to, what price range you consider "expensive." If you're asking about weight loss, tell us how much you weigh now, how old you are, if you exercise regularly and what sort of diet you've tried so far.

3. Post at a time when you can come back and answer questions or respond to other DLers legitimate questions rather than leaving us hanging for two days.

Problem is - how to do it and not get people all riled up?

I'm honestly very underwhelmed by the lack of quality in comic book films of late. It seems like a factory line of them being churned out with promises that are never kept. Most of the diverse characters are given fewer lines and are sidelined all together. Tom Hiddleston/Loki is so obviously effeminate but never came out. LG characters are more likely to be "bisexual" with very little storyline. It seems lackluster. What does DL think?

I will carry on the tradition, and take the hit for my compatriots. Stiff upper lips!

And the bartender says "FUCK YOU!"

"It’s no secret that American public policy throughout the 20th century endorsed the car—for instance, by building a massive network of urban and interstate highways at public expense. Less well understood is how the legal framework governing American life enforces dependency on the automobile. To begin with, mundane road regulations embed automobile supremacy into federal, state, and local law. But inequities in traffic regulation are only the beginning. Land-use law, criminal law, torts, insurance, vehicle safety regulations, even the tax code—all these sources of law provide rewards to cooperate with what has become the dominant transport mode, and punishment for those who defy it."

From Michael Jackson Unauthorized by Christopher Andersen - 1994

At other times, James DeBarge would say, Michael would tap softly on the door and say, "Is it all right if I come in?" before unloading once more on his sympathetic sister and her frustrated new husband.

Michael's complaint that he didn't "have anyone" was not altogether accurate, according to DeBarge. Michael was spending more and more time with little Sean Lennon—sometimes days at a time in his room,watching television, playing games, roughhousing on the floor.

In a taped conversation with a police informant in 1993 as reported in the British papers, DeBarge revealed that one morning he peeked into Michael's room and saw him in bed with Sean. Asked if he saw Michael and Sean together in a sexual way, DeBarge reportedly replied, "Yes."

DeBarge went on, "My room was next door. I saw them when I was snooping. Michael knew it, too. But he didn't care. I guess he figured I was no threat.

On an international test conducted in 2012, Italian adults from places where they first would have been exposed to Mediaset under age 10 had math and reading scores that were significantly worse than those of their peers. They were also less civically minded and less politically active."

TOMMY Robinson was punched in the face by a 70-year-old on his first day in prison, the Daily Star Sunday can reveal.

47722 SHARES

The “altercation” occurred in the showers inside Belmarsh top-­security prison hours after the ­former English Defence League ­leader was jailed for contempt of court.

The alleged incident was not ­recorded as an assault because it was only ­witnessed by inmates.

Sources have said that Robinson strutted into prison acting “like a celebrity” but was soon being abused by white, black and Asian inmates.

He had previously claimed that he would be killed in jail and called on US President Donald Trump to ­offer him asylum.

But sources last night said that Robinson, 36, was not punched because he was a far-right activist but was “decked” for ­trying to throw his weight around.

The altercation took place within 72 hours of his arrival in the south-east London jail, 10 days ago.

It is understood that Robinson ­accused another inmate of “disrespecting” him when they bumped into each other in the shower block.

He is said to have tried to intimidate the pensioner who responded by dropping him with a single punch.

A source said: “There was a bit of pushing then one prisoner, a 70-year-old, very hard pensioner, decked Robinson with a punch to the jaw.

“He didn’t have any idea who he had hit, but he wasn’t going to back down. Those are the rules in Belmarsh, you fight or back down.

“It was all over in a flash. One of the prison officers asked what was going on, but he said he slipped so no official report was made.

“If you start acting as though you are big-time, someone will take you down. If you come into the prison and start acting like you are the boss they will take you down quickly.”

Robinson, real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, has been earmarked as a special category prisoner because of his extremist views. He was jailed for nine months at the Old Bailey ­after he filmed defendants outside Leeds Crown Court during a trial into the sexual exploitation of girls.

It breached a reporting restriction and put in jeopardy other child grooming trials. His videos were seen 3.4million times but there was a ban on publicising any details because there were other ongoing trials that ­involved a total of 29 people.

The Ministry of Justice said: “We do not comment on individuals.”

“Doublethink means the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one's mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them.” ― George Orwell, 1984

I read it 50 years ago but it didn't affect me much; I was too young and too self-absorbed. Re-reading it now and it's disturbing me. When I began reading it I thought, "Oh yeah, this is Trump World with all the lies". Halfway through the book, I'm recognizing the radical Left's tactics like changing the language, as a means to a political end

I'm glad to be old; I don't recognize much of the world I met as a child, and it's scary and sad.

The money you spend on agents, and clothes, and publicity.

The job insecurity, the discrimination, the stereotyping, the typecasting.

The need to adhere to a standard of perfection, attractiveness, and fitness that is impossible to maintain.

And for those who do make it, the fight to try to stay on top - if even for a year or two.

And even then, the nagging, sinking feeling that you're going to become irrelevant next week, when you are subsequently replaced by someone younger and more attractive than you are.

"From the military, he named two former heads of the armed forces, Lord Bramall and Sir Roland Gibbs, and another senior general, Sir Hugh Beach.

The former chiefs of MI5 and MI6, Sir Michael Hanley and Sir Maurice Oldfield, as well as the former Prime Minister Sir Edward Heath, former Home Secretary Lord Brittan, and the ex-MPs Harvey Proctor and Lord Janner, also became part of his story.

Beech alleged his stepfather handed him over to this "group" and that it operated using chauffeurs who collected him from school or his local railway station."

As if Chicago doesn't have enough problems with murders, violence, flash mobs, declining population, pollution, now they have alligators.

[quote]Chicago officials confirmed an alligator is living in Humboldt Park Lagoon after several people reported seeing the animal there Tuesday morning and others shared photos of it.

[quote]Police had “independently confirmed the alligator is in the lagoon and state reptile specialists" said it was 4 to 5 feet long, police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said in a tweet. The animal was expected to be trapped Tuesday night “and relocated to a zoo for veterinary evaluation.”

Humboldt Park was once a thriving Italian neighborhood, that collapsed in the 70s. The park, while beautiful, is notorious for being a hotbed of crime, drugs and prostitution. It borders the "hipster" neighborhoods of Wicker Park, Bucktown and less hip Logan Square.

I'm in the process of adopting and am thinking of progressive, gender-neutral names for my boy. My husbear thinks all of my shortlisted names are effete, but I am strongly in favor of progressive names especially in these dark times. My current shortlist is: Dakotah, Mackenzie, Madison, Peyton, and Makayla. I think these names are just fabulous for a little body: masculine without being homophobic, toxic flyover names like Norm, Brett, Hunter etc. My two other adopted sons, Colton and Packer, look forward to meeting their new brother, but I'm still really hung up on the naming matter. It's keeping me up at night!

Suddenly, it seems like everyone is saying someone is “living his/her best life,” meaning great or fulfilling things. What is the origin of the term?

First off, I’ve never watched of these shows, but my roommate is obsessed with them. So i see snippets here there when he’s watching on the living room tv. One day he’s was watching the Beverly Hills version and as far as i can tell it was all white women. Later when he was watching the Atlanta version it was all black women. So i asked him isn’t kind of racist to show a group of women all of the same racial type. Don’t they have friends of different races? He looked at me as if i just kick baby Jesus in the mouth.

His response was, there all friends. Me, really white women only have white friends, and black women only have black friends? I don’t care about this show, but it really doesn’t seem like the American i live in, where i have friends of all ethnicities, and would never just want to hang out with my own race.

There are multiple photos online from this event back in February with the two of them holding hands and posing like a satisfied couple. Haven't heard anything about this since which is weird considering they give off a definite coming out vibe and they were doing it both inside and outside the event. Was it just a fling or are they still together? In all the photos Rebecca (who has lost weight since Jessica Jones) looks absolutely in love while Anjelica looks smug in a "yeah, I'm tapping that" sort of way.

Shawn Mendes singing “Ruin” live made me a new fan. His vocals are rich and pure! Take a listen, boys!

I’m not a fan of him and don’t care for his recorded singing voice much nor many of his songs, but this one song is actually quite good! It’s very soulful and his voice is just so damn pure singing it. It’s not perfect and polished, and it works for this song!

I listened to the official recording and it’s not nearly as good as this one. It’s a song that’s better live.

So glad I ran into his MTV Unplugged album.

Janet's blatant lies through the years:

- The secret daughter that she gave up for adoption.

-Denying her father was ever abusive (and branding La Toya as a liar), then admitting the truth many years later, when she was promoting her self help book.

- The marriage to Rene Elizondo jr that she kept hidden for like 12 yrs.

-Rene Elizondo writing her 3 successful albums and stealing the credit for herself.

-Claiming she never knew what dating is and she only slept with her husbands, though she slept around with both men and women (Bobby Brown, Robert De Niro, and her female dancers to name a few).

-The 'wardrobe malfunction'--obviously it was planned.

- Lying about Getting fat in 2006 , claiming she’d gained 60 pounds to play a character in the movie “Tennessee.” However, insiders from the movie said that no one ever asked Janet to gain that weight, and it wasn’t called for in the script.

- The plastic surgeries she's had (does she admit to any of it?).

- Getting pregnant at 50.

-Giving birth to a white boy with no trace of African feature (MJ's style).

Duncan James, who achieved international fame in the early ’00s as a member of the British boy band Blue, introduced the world to his new boyfriend in an Instagram post over the weekend.

Miley Cyrus refuses to be put in boxes -- even when it comes to her marriage with Liam Hemsworth.

The 26-year-old singer covers Elle magazine's August 2019 issue, and opens up about where she currently stands both in her career and in her personal life. Cyrus talks about her "unique" relationship with Hemsworth, whom she married last December.

"I think it's very confusing to people that I'm married," Cyrus says. "But my relationship is unique. And I don't know that I would ever publicly allow people in there because it's so complex, and modern, and new that I don't think we're in a place where people would get it."

Cyrus says being married hasn't changed her sexual preferences. In a Vanity Fair interview in February, Cyrus described herself as "a queer person in a hetero relationship."

"I mean, do people really think that I'm at home in a f**king apron cooking dinner?" Cyrus now asks rhetorically. "I'm in a hetero relationship, but I still am very sexually attracted to women. People become vegetarian for health reasons, but bacon is still f**king good, and I know that. I made a partner decision. This is the person I feel has my back the most. I definitely don't fit into a stereotypical wife role. I don't even like that word."

Cyrus is still passionate as ever about issues that are particularly important to her -- women's rights, homelessness and protecting the environment -- and offers this tidbit of when she and 29-year-old Hemsworth may consider having a child together.

"We've been doing the same thing to the earth that we do to women. We just take and take and expect it to keep producing," she says. "And it's exhausted. It can't produce. We're getting handed a piece-of-sh** planet, and I refuse to hand that down to my child. Until I feel like my kid would live on an earth with fish in the water, I'm not bringing in another person to deal with that."

"We're expected to keep the planet populated," she also says about society's expectations of women. "And when that isn't a part of our plan or our purpose, there is so much judgment and anger that they try to make and change laws to force it upon you -- even if you become pregnant in a violent situation. If you don't want children, people feel sorry for you, like you're a cold, heartless b**ch who's not capable of love. Why are we trained that love means putting yourself second and those you love first? If you love yourself, then what? You come first."

Cyrus released an EP, She Is Coming, in May, which marked a return to her edgier side after 2017's more mellow Younger Now. The singer explains her upcoming record, She Is Miley Cyrus, and what it represents.

"My record is called She Is Miley Cyrus. 'She' does not represent a gender," she notes. "She is not just a woman. 'She' doesn't refer to a vagina. She is a force of nature. She is power. She can be anything you want to be, therefore, she is everything. She is the super she. She is the she-ro. She is the She-E-O."

Trump has hit the fast-forward button on the tribalization of American body politic.

For many of his supporters, this he is saying the things they always wanted a leader to say, this is something this admire him for, no condemn him.

The country is at a crossroads.

"Republicans and Independents, evangelicals, and many others who might have voted for Trump in 2016 will eventually have to ask themselves whether it is possible to go on believing that he is a man of sufficient character to hold the Presidency. They will have to ask themselves what it means to overlook his racism and what this says about them. How can they believe it is possible to support a racist and escape that in themselves? Or will they pronounce themselves, as the Treasury Secretary, Steven Mnuchin, did, “not concerned”?"

I know Spike Lee can be polarizing on here but I've always loved this film and it's hard to believe it's 30 years old.

Great cinematography (by Ernest Dickerson), a terrific soundtrack and an excellent performance by Danny Aiello (who deservedly received a Best Supporting Actor nomination, one of the film's only TWO Oscar nominations) as well as strong performances by Ossie Davis, Ruby Dee and Bill Nunn in the iconic role of Radio Raheem.

For its 30th anniversary, Spike Lee held a block party in Brooklyn, its being rereleased in cinemas and Criterion is releasing a new Blu-ray version.

What did you think of the film? Should it have been nominated for Best Picture and Best Director?

What are your memories of this film and have you seen it lately?
