[quote]One person was killed, and 6 others were wounded in a shooting inside a Waffle House at 3571 Murfreesboro Pike in Antioch near Pin Hook Road.

[quote]The shooting took place at approximately 3:30 a.m. Sunday. According to police at the scene, a white man who was naked except for a green jacket went into the restaurant and started firing. They described the gun he used as an AR-15. Police are still searching for him at this time.

CNN)Former President George H.W. Bush, who just buried his wife first lady Barbara Bush on Saturday, is in intensive care, CNN has learned.

"President Bush was admitted to the Houston Methodist Hospital yesterday morning after contracting an infection that spread to his blood. He is responding to treatments and appears to be recovering. We will issue additional updates as events warrant," spokesman Jim McGrath said in a statement.

Bush was admitted to the hospital on Sunday morning with an infection that led to sepsis, which can be life-threatening, according to a source close to the former Republican President. He was in critical condition, the source said.

The source added that Bush's blood pressure kept dropping and a couple of times there was serious concern about whether he was going to come through, but that he had been stabilized.

But with Bush's age, his health and with this infection, this is very serious, the source explained.

The former President's hospitalization is especially upsetting for his family because it follows so closely on the death of his wife of 73 years last Tuesday. The family had been worried about how he would deal with her death and such an emotional week, according to the source.

The day after his wife's death, the former President paid tribute to her in a statement.

"I always knew Barbara was the most beloved woman in the world, and in fact I used to tease her that I had a complex relationship about that fact. But the truth is the outpouring of love and friendship being directed at The Enforcer is lifting us all up," he said, using her nickname. "We have faith she is in heaven, and we know that life will go on -- as she would have it. So cross the Bushes off your worry list."

This is a thread for those of us watching the show on ITV.

He was found dead in Oman.

Looks like he drank himself to death.

"He had retired from live performing in 2016, citing health reasons. He had suffered from health problems for several years, including acute pancreatitis, in part due to excessive drinking. He had his gallbladder and appendix removed in 2014."

I hope she’s telling the truth.

Police obtained a search warrant and headed over to Keri’s home on August 13. Neighbor Pam Allen described the scene, “There were all these cars, and men with guns and carrying shields. It was like an army.” She readily admitted to abusing two children on five occasions. It’s believed that the children were her own six-year-old daughter and three-year-old son.

While her husband Cody was at work, she would bring them into the bathroom and bathe them while also touching them. To make matters worse, she said that she created the videos for a man who gave her money for them. This guy, who possibly lives in Texas, had been paying Keri for months for Snapchat videos of her masturbating. She claimed that she started making videos with the children per his request because she “needed the money” and because she just didn’t want to disappoint her sexting buddy.

For the five to six videos that she sent him molesting children, he gave her about $500-$600 over the course of a few months. Police have a warrant out for this man and are actively seeking to arrest him.

The ratings are in the toilet. No one is watching and executive producer Al Jean is begging people week after week to tune in. Will next year’s season be it?

The season is over this week - a few stragglers, high profile Harry Potter, low expectations Summer, The Iceman Cometh (does Denzel know his lines yet?), hottie Seth Numrich in Travesties.

And what of DL fave Patti Murin? Are there more mental health days in the offing? What about her hot husband?

How much does a production company save by shooting outside the U.S. Is it like 10% overall, 20%....what?

(As a side note, it would be kind of a drag for performers, who are usually used to being based in NYC or L.A., to sign over years of their lives to living away from home. Of course, most any of us would do it...but it might be kind of crappy.) (Uggghhh....and what if you were trapped in the deep south for years, like the WALKING DEAD cast and crew??)

All the serious runners I have ever known - the type of people who like to post the 13.1 stickers on the backs of their cars etc. - all seemed to be aging more rapidly than you would normally expect, for their ages.

Sam also brought Luke to the Outlander premiere and several private parties. . After this trip, the gay rumors about Sam were everywhere and Luke -an actor and writer- deleted ALL his SM. People who met Heughan at the British theatre, say that Sam was openly gay before the STARZ contract:

[quote]"Knew him in the theatre scene back in the day. Nice guy. And openly gay then."

[quote]"Oh darling, of course I’m an old gossip. Have you never met a theatre queen before? Everyone in the biz knows he’s gay, which is not a big deal here. But it is in the US and in the movie industry, so I don’t think anyone was shocked or upset that he’s decided to closet. He's Luke Evans 2.0"

Caroline contends the royal children were so miserable when Wood went on vacation, Kelly would beg her to return!

“We were probably closer to our nanny than to our parents.”

'Chasing Hillary: Ten Years, Two Presidential Campaigns, and One Intact Glass Ceiling' by Amy Chozick

Hillary Clinton's campaign held a strategy session on how to build up Donald Trump when he was a reality TV star hurling insults at rival Republicans.

The agenda for a Clinton campaign meeting early in the primaries sent out by campaign manager Robby Mook was titled: 'How do we maximize Trump?'.

It was a strategy borne of the belief that Trump would torch fellow Republicans, then be easier to beat than more traditional candidates like Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, or Ohio Gov. John Kasich.

That was one of several assumptions that ultimately proved false that are catalogued in Chozick's book.

Vice President Joe Biden, who had a fundraising network and Pennsylvania roots that helped connect him to some of the voters Clinton once ham handedly mocked as 'deplorables,' confided he stayed out of the race partly out of concern to what Clinton's vaunted network would do to him.

'Biden had confided (off the record) to the White House press corps that he wanted to run, but he added something like 'You guys don't understand these people. The Clintons will try to destroy me.,' Chozick writes, the Daily Beast reported.

In another poor decision, Chelsea Clinton poured French champagne into people's glasses at about 9 pm, hours before her loss, according to Chozick.

She says someone told her it was Veuve Clicquot, according to a preview in the New York Times.

When the election was lost, it fell to Mook to deliver the bad news to the candidate.

“Chasing Hillary” offers some searing moments surrounding election night, as when the Clinton team’s data guru grasps that his Florida models were off (Latino turnout lower than expected, white turnout huge in the Panhandle), then turns to campaign manager Robby Mook and says, “But, Robby, if our models were wrong in Florida, they could be wrong everywhere.”

'I knew it. I knew this would happen to me,' Clinton responded, according to the book. 'They were never going to let me be president.'

The defeat was the culmination of a long campaign where a retinue of mainly female reporters contended with a candidate who kept herself at a distance, dismissing the email scandal, and eager to have it end. Some of them were calling it 'Hillary's Death March to Victory.'

On Clinton’s apparent disdain for the electoral process: “If there was a single unifying force behind her candidacy, it was her obvious desire to get the whole thing over with.” On Clinton’s ambition: “Her only clear vision of the presidency seemed to be herself in it.” On how Trump threw Clinton off message: “Hillary had berated our pea-size political brains for being uninterested in policy. Now, Trump had made her as devoid of substance as he was.”

“Trump understood our gluttonous short attention span better than anyone,” she writes, “but especially better than Hillary, whose media strategy amounted to her ignoring us.”

How many of you racist posters would have done the same?

What cliched scenes and dialogue are you sick of seeing?

In popular music, that is.

I rarely get excited about younger bottoms (I prefer daddy tops), but Carter Dane is something extraordinary. He's very handsome, and he's got an amazing back and ass. One of his studios is even claiming his shelf-like ass is due to his having 36 vertebrae instead of the usual 33.

He is incredibly into every scene he does, and Cockyboys figured out he gets even more turned on if he can watch himself getting fucked in a mirror, so his two hottest scenes (with Gabriel Clark and Colby Keller show them first worshipping his body and then fucking it as he watches it all. I find hisnarcissistic exhibitionism incredibly arousing.

I'll begin.

In the episode, "Joust Between Friends," the subplot involved Rose taking in a lost dog, a Bearded Collie. By the end of the episode, the dog's owner had been found, and Dorothy admitted that she missed the dog more than she let on. Rose surprised her by going to the animal shelter and bringing home several dogs. Here's where the unrealistic part comes in; all of the dogs were purebreds, including an Airedale and Beddlington Terriers, (and possibly a Norwich Terrier).

And on it goes!

La Belle Pace continues to romance a gelfling fashion victim.

A former star of the hit series Smallville has been identified as a high-ranking member of a sex cult.

Last month, the New York Times broke the story about a secret sorority that brands women, puts them on starvation diets and beats them if they don't recruit enough 'slaves'.

The group, called DOS, is reportedly a secret society for the highest ranking female members within the self-help group NXIVM.

To outsiders, NXIVM is just a run-of-the-mill self-improvement group, offering classes that teach the answers to living a successful and fulfilling life.

But ex-members told the Times that NXIVM functions as a cult for people at the high levels of the group, who have dedicated themselves full-time to founder Keith Rainere and his teachings.

On Wednesday, a former spokesman for the group, Frank Parlato, told The Sun that an 'Emmy Award-winning actress' is a 'key recruiter' for DOS.

While The Sun did not name the actress, DailyMail.com can reveal that she is Allison Mack, who played Clark Kent's sidekick Chloe Sullivan on the long-running CW series Smallville.

The Frank Report claimed that Mack created DOS with the intention of turning it into a worldwide organization that would be a 'force for good and a female force against evil'.

Ex-members have detailed how only the most loyal NXIVM female members are offered the ability to try out for DOS. In order to join, prospective new members must allegedly turn over damning personal information as a show of trust. But ex-members say that information is actually used to keep members from speaking out about the horrifying reality of the group.

DOS operates as a master-slave hierarchy, with Raniere at the top and Mack as his immediate subordinate. From there, Mack has several slaves of her own who are then ordered to recruit a group of slaves themselves, and it spreads down from there like a pyramid scheme.

Slaves must immediately answer their masters any time they text or call them, and if they do not recruit enough slaves of their own, they are beaten with a paddle on their buttocks.

The Frank Report alleges that it was Mack who introduced corporeal punishment to the group.

When women are deemed worthy to enter the group, they are ordered to strip at an initiation ceremony and then branded with a symbol that includes both Raniere and Mack's initials.

The blog also says that there's yet another tier of the cult above DOS. Women who perform well in DOS may also be invited to join Raniere's harem.

Mack 'has assumed the top position in the harem,' the Report says.

'Miss Mack has proven capable in the recruitment department replacing many aging harem members with younger, more nubile women,' the Report says.

Earlier this week, Catherine Oxenberg met with prosecutors in NY Attorney General Eric Schneiderman's office to speak about her daughter India, who is a member of the sorority, the New York Post reported.

Oxenberg has been outspoken about the group, and fears that her daughter is being starved and blackmailed.

According to the Post, Schneiderman's prosecutors are focusing their efforts on the women who were branded against their will.

And we have our first woman in this round of scandals. It's always the quiet ones.

Personally the man is beyond repugnant, but in spite of all that I just love Micky on "Ray Donovan". I think that's a good actor, when you can turn off all of his personal shit and just enjoy the character he plays.

"I would have voted for him because, even though he was offensive, he seemed honest. Do you want straight or polite? Not that you shouldn’t be able to have both. If I were voting, I just don’t want bullshit. I would have voted for a feeling that it was transparent. And politics has a reputation of not being that, right?”

I just don't want bullshit? But you wanted a racist, homophobe and misogynist.

Jeremy was a promising athlete, allegedly bi, and according to his friends, was romantically involved with his “friend”, who stabbed him to death.

- Max Aaron has retired. Will anyone miss him?

- Agafonova/Ucar have retired. A couple of judges will miss them.

- Hawayek/Baker have moved to Montreal.

- Marin Honda and Eunsoo Lim have moved to Raf Whatever

- Adam Rippon is still everywhere.

- Correct rocker will be required for Key Point 3 and 4 in the Tango Romantica next season.

- ISU Congress will vote in June to allow men wearing tights. They will vote also on other trivial stuffs like reducing length of programs, limiting number of jumps, etc.

What causes it? I’m a female in my mid-40s and friends are injecting left and right but I don’t want to look like Hunter Tylo, etc. I really want to avoid that “puffy” look that a lot of aging actresses seem to have. Is that filler in certain places, like cheeks, or even cheek implants? I know lip filler has destroyed many a face (Meg Ryan) but I would think the filler would go away over time, yet her face still looks as strange. Any plastic insight?

Anyone here watched both parts?

I thought it was really engrossing, thanks to the abundance of footage of his stand up appearances and clips from his TV shows, and excerpts from his handwritten diaries. It's a no filter portrait of someone who was very harsh on himself and others, but worked hard at being a giving person. Shandling also comes off as rather sensitive, probably more than most people in the business - he had a very hard time getting over disappointments, personal and professional; he seemingly never recovered from the Brad Grey feud.

There is a sense of underlying unhappiness and disatisfaction that he never managed to shake off.

He looked rather unwell in the last ten years of his life (he had undiagnosed thyroid issues, which were followed by a surgery to treat his pancreatitis).

After watching the doc I read what a woman writer, Janis Hirsch, wrote about Shandling for Hollywood Reporter:

"There were two distinct Garry Shandlings: the one I knew, briefly, while working on It’s Garry Shandling’s Show and the one Judd Apatow knew, intensely, over decades. Judd’s Garry was his mentor and, later, his clay-footed shaman. My Garry was a passively malignant emperor who was charmingly self-deprecating about wearing no clothes. "

Are they republican? Just seems like an odd place for them to have settled in.

This is a special kind of evil. I live in los angeles. this has happened over and over again here. los angeles and malibu especially.. most of the realtors here started as escorts so they are trained very well to go for the cash quickly.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has updated their warning about a multistate outbreak of E. coli. Formerly linked to just chopped romaine lettuce, the agency has expanded their recommendation to throw away all romaine lettuce — including whole heads of romaine and hearts of romaine, plus chopped romaine and salad mixes containing romaine lettuce — from the Yuma, Arizona growing region.

“Do not buy or eat romaine lettuce at a grocery store or restaurant unless you can confirm it is not from the Yuma, Arizona, growing region,” the agency warned, going on to state that, “Unless the source of the product is known, consumers anywhere in the United States who have any store-bought romaine lettuce at home should not eat it and should throw it away, even if some of it was eaten and no one has gotten sick.”

If you have chopped lettuce in your refrigerator and you are not sure if it is romaine, you should still throw it away, the CDC says.

The expanded warning is based on information from newly reported illnesses in Alaska, who reported eating lettuce from whole heads of romaine lettuce from the Yuma, Arizona growing region. At least 53 people have gotten sick from eating contaminated lettuce since March 31, and 31 of them were hospitalized for illnesses linked to the lettuce. Five of them developed a type of potentially life-threatening kidney failure.

The lettuce seems to be coming from the Yuma, Ariz., region, and it is specifically contaminated with E. coli O157:H7. E. coli generally causes severe stomach cramps, diarrhea that is often bloody, and vomiting; it may also cause a fever. Like many other food-borne illnesses, some infections are mild, whereas others can be dangerous.

Recalls of bagged greens seem to be happening often lately. In mid-April, more than 8,700 pounds of bagged ready-to-eat salads were recalled due to possible E. coli contamination. In December, the CDC warned of a multistate outbreak of E. coli linked to leafy greens, and in October, the FDA issued a recall of several types of salad kits due to potential listeria contamination.

This raises a bigger question: Is it safe to eat these products? A few things about bagged greens make them slightly risky, food safety expert Darin Detwiler, PhD, director of the Regulatory Affairs of Food and Food Industry program at Northeastern University, tells Yahoo Lifestyle. One is that people typically do not wash bagged lettuce or cook it; washing could lower the risk that these pathogens would be passed on. (However, Detwiler points out that even washing your greens does not guarantee getting rid of food-borne pathogens.)

Bagged greens are also handled more than lettuce and other greens you find in your grocery store’s produce aisle — and that exposes the bagged greens to potential contamination, Elliot T. Ryser, PhD, a professor in the Department of Food Science and Human Nutrition at Michigan State University, tells Yahoo Lifestyle. His research has found that E. coli can “readily transfer” during processing leafy greens. Even though sanitizer is used in this processing, it is not 100 percent effective in getting rid of the spread of E. coli, he says.

Although eating greens that have not gone through this processing step may lower your risk slightly, ultimately, eating raw fruits and vegetables, in general, comes with some risk, Benjamin Chapman, PhD, an associate professor and food safety extension specialist at North Carolina State University, tells Yahoo Lifestyle. If you are immunocompromised, it might be better to cook your greens before eating them, he says. For everyone else, you are probably OK to keep doing what you’re doing. “The likelihood of becoming ill from fresh-cut produce is still extremely low,” Ryser says.

Oxfordshire secondary school teacher Joshua Sutcliffe has been suspended and faces losing his job after being accused of ‘misgendering’ a pupil during one of his lessons. Despite apologising for his mistake, Joshua has been suspended from his post as a maths teacher and faces a disciplinary hearing in two days time after the transgender pupil’s mother's complained. He joins This Morning alongside Andrea Williams of the Christian Legal Centre who is supporting Joshua and believes schools are ‘making it all up as they go along’ when it comes to the correct way of addressing transgender pupils. Was the school right to suspend Joshua?

In a break with tradition, Trump has shunned all Democrats and the WH has gone into Melania PR overdrive. So OTT trying to prove her worth.

First Lady takes charge

So confident was Trump about her ability to handle something like a state dinner, with its myriad details, that the first lady would not hire an event planner to help, as previous first ladies have done in the past to manage the grandeur and spectacle.

For example, the final state dinner of the Obama administration, its 14th, was a tented affair for former Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi, held on the South Lawn of the White House for 400 guests. Michelle Obama wore a custom, chainmail Atelier Versace gown; Mario Batali cooked, and Gwen Stefani entertained.

For the Trump administration's first state dinner, there will be none of that. There will also be none of the paparazzi element that has come with past state dinners; celebrity supporters of the President are harder to come by than they were for Obama.

"A smaller, more elegant event allows a guest to have a more personal experience, and that is very important to Mrs. Trump," said Grisham, who confirmed the dinner will take place in the State Dining Room, which can hold about 100-150 seated guests.

"[The first lady] has a background in design, which played a major role in the décor throughout the State floor," Grisham adds of Trump's hands-on approach. "She has been very focused on the experience of the guests, and wants to ensure they are able to truly enjoy and remember the occasion. When you are invited to a dinner at the White House, it is very special to be able to sit in the State Dining Room. After all, this is the People's house, which is rich with history and tradition."

Current White House social secretary Rickie Niceta told CNN that Trump was aware the selection of the State Dining Room would limit the number of invitations, which could fuel criticism, but Trump "held firm" to the idea." Niceta added that part of her job on behalf of the first lady is to make sure guests "feel special and welcome from the moment they arrived to how they will be bid 'goodnight."

One person who didn't give input on the night is the President.

"The President has been busy with his schedule. The first lady took all preparations for the state dinner under her own wing," said Grisham.

Mrs. Trump has also been doing some homework, educating herself about the protocol and history of these sorts of White House events. This is to ensure her selections for the Macrons' visit have meaning behind them, down to the china, flowers, color scheme and menu, which, while American, will highlight the influence France has had on American cuisine.

"Mrs. Trump selected every item and every detail for the dinner, from the entrée to the chair cushions," said Niceta.

It's an indicator that the first lady, who moved to Washington full time only last June, seems to have gotten the hang of running an operation as massive as the White House.

"She has a solid grasp on all of her roles, which include mother, wife and first lady of the United States, both public-facing with events and engagements and behind-the-scenes with the renovations and preservation efforts at the White House," Grisham said.

Call off the Shania record burnings! She apologized for saying she loves Trump. She was misquoted, misunderstood, yada yada.

Please keep buying her music and merch, gays!

Lying about Trump’s weight can apparently get you a nice promotion.

Oh, the humanity!

Carl is gone. (FU, Gimple!) Who's next?! Maggie the badass, perpetually-pregnant worldy farmgirl? Negan (hopefully!) Rick (if so, I swear I'll quit you, AMC!)? I don't know if I can take much more.

Alan Rickman - played the same damn character over and over with his foggy voice. Notable for being nerdfrau catnip.

Trey Ames, Tommy Puett, Ryan Lambert?? I wonder if anyone of then left the business unscathed. Of all the ones that were covered back then I believe Corey H. Chris Pettiet from Dont Tell mom the babysitter's dead , and River are the only ones not still with us. WEHT to the rest? A lot of them you cannot find any information on at all.

I know she's a bit of a DL icon but there must be some good stories on her..

Any thoughts on the undisputed star of DOOL for over 40 years? Why did she stay so long in soap?

I was outside today cleaning my house since it is a nice day here. My neighbor's dog kept coming in my yard barking at me. I tried to shoo it away several times. Finally, I had enough and sprayed my water hose in its' direction hoping to give it a message. My neighbor started bitching at me saying I had no right to do that, and I should just put up with it since the dog is small and not dangerous. I told him that I would not allow my dog to roam in his yard no matter how small it is, so I expect the same courtesy. How would you handle this situation?

Will be joining the broker firm of "Million Dollar Listing New York" star Fredrik Eklund.

He has a hot body but a strange face.

What does DL think?

“Neri is a very passionate, extremely smart and talented woman. She is very extroverted, outgoing, vivacious and loving.”

“Men and women love Neri. She has a way of making you feel as if you’re the only person in a crowded room,” the pal added. “Being around Neri is intoxicating as if you’re flying high above the mountains.” The insider revealed that Pitt has fallen for her charm and that now “you can hear his grin” when speaking to him.

He is now 32. He said it was forced, no kind of consent. A one time thing.

As he was telling me, he started to get upset, and wouldn't give many details. He said it was a teacher, and he was in the teacher's home. He never reported it anyone. Him telling me about it was the first time he spoke of it. I asked of the rapist wore a condom, and at that point he shut me down.

Question: Should I press and tell him to find out of this scum is still a teacher? He could still be doing this. It seems to me he should do something to make sure this isn't happening to other kids.

and if you do, where were you when you found out and how did people around you react?

And also has anyone seen "Jackie" with Natalie Portman, and how do you think her performance was?

I have never blocked so much whataboutism bots promoting lies, stealth Trump trolls or sexist Hillary posts in all my fucking time on Datalounge.

I know one, Ajay, is dating Alam Wemik and both of them are escorting... Who else? What happens to them? Do any of them end up doing well?

My understanding is that some of them are immediately hired for private meetups by certain very wealthy men ('effen for example), but aren't kept around or anything, though they make some decent money. But what happens after?

Why did the writers give him a female love interest in one episode of season 3 when it's blatantly obvious that he's a full-blown gayling?

He always pulls this shit just before they go on tour. Neil Finn (Crowded House) and Mike Campbell (Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers) will replace him.

All aboard for the Main Line Express!

With extra stops in Corinth!

Spring has finally arrived in NYC. I took a walk in the park today and noticed that there were beautiful patches of tulips and daffodils in full bloom. So beautiful that I feel like if I waited one more day they would fade, so I took out my phone and started taking pictures of them. The iPhone has a “portrait“ setting now that makes some pictures look really good and I wanted to try it. Anyway I was trying the setting and I think you have to hold the camera steady and be at a certain distance so while I was pointing the viewer at the patch and waiting for the message on the screen to pass, a ball rolls into the background and a small child runs after it. I stood there aiming my phone on the patch of flowers and waiting for the child to walk past when all of a sudden a Frau appears and says “don’t YOU take a picture of MY child!!“ and she hurried the child off giving me a withering stare over her shoulder repeatedly looking back as she shuttled the child away, clucking after her little crotch dropping, giving me a look as if I were some kind of a criminal! Isn’t it EVERYONE’s park? Last time I checked I pay a decent amount of taxes for these services. Fuck her, twat.

“Queer Eye” is streaming now!

I’ve watched the first two episodes and it’s surprisingly sweet and moving. Karamo (from The Real World) and Antoni the food guy are hot! The fashion guy seems to live for rolled-up sleeves.

The Indian guy in the second episode cleaned up pretty well but the exuberance of their first subject was infectious and endearing.

Let’s dish!

Oooooh, you know it's bad when it makes the trades.

Take this week's poll.

[quote]Lost in Space is a Netflix Original dramatic and modern reimagining of the classic 1960’s science fiction series. Set 30 years in the future, colonization in space is now a reality, and the Robinson family is among those tested and selected to make a new life for themselves in a better world. But when the new colonists find themselves abruptly torn off course en route to their new home they must forge new alliances and work together to survive in a dangerous alien environment, light-years from their original destination.

[quote]Stranded along with the Robinsons are two outsiders who find themselves thrown together by circumstance and a mutual knack for deception. The unsettlingly charismatic Dr. Smith (Parker Posey) is a master manipulator with an inscrutable end game. And the roguish, but inadvertently charming Don West (Ignacio Serricchio) is a highly-skilled, blue collar contractor, who had no intention of joining the colony, let alone crash landing on a lost planet.

Also starring Toby Stephens and Molly Parker. Premieres April 13, 2018.

Man in an Orange Shirt (BBC2) is the handsome heart of the BBC’s substantial Gay Britannia season, commemorating the 50th anniversary of homosexuality being decriminalised in Britain. It is written by the novelist Patrick Gale and loosely based on a discovery he made about his own parents’ relationship, and tells the gently wrenching story of a secret romance between soldiers Michael and Thomas, and the increasingly frayed marriage of Michael and his new wife Flora, whom he marries because, well, it’s the 1940s and that’s just what people did. “You didn’t think we could set up home together like man and wife,” splutters Michael, after Thomas takes umbrage at being asked to be his best man.

Who is considered a legitimate Actress but is horrible in all their roles?

I say Sarah Jessica Parker.

Thankfully the police didn't arrest them, but christ this story is ridiculous.

[quote]A golf club in Pennsylvania has apologized for calling police on a group of black women after the co-owner and his father said they were playing too slowly and refused requests to leave the course. “I felt we were discriminated against,” one of the women, Myneca Ojo, told the York Daily Record. “It was a horrific experience.” Sandra Thompson and four friends met up Saturday to play a round of golf at the Grandview Golf Club, where they are all members, she told the newspaper. At the second hole, a white man whose son co-owns the club came up to them twice to complain that they weren’t keeping up with the pace of play. Thompson, an attorney and the head of the York chapter of the NAACP, told the newspaper it was untrue.

[quote]On the same hole, another member of the group, Sandra Harrison, said she spoke with a Grandview golf pro, who said they were fine since they were keeping pace with the group ahead of them. Despite that, the women skipped the third hole to avoid any other issues, she said. It’s part of golf etiquette that slow-moving players let groups behind them play through if they are holding things up, and often golf courses have personnel who monitor the pace of play, letting golfers know when they are taking too lon The five are part of a larger group of local women known as Sisters in the Fairway. The group has been around for at least a decade, and all of its members are experienced players who have golfed all over the county and world, Thompson said. They’re very familiar with golf etiquette, she said.

[quote]After the ninth hole, where it is customary to take a break before continuing on the next nine holes, three of the group decided to leave because they were so shaken up by the earlier treatment, the women told the paper. Thompson said the man from the second hole, identified as former York County Commissioner Steve Chronister, his son, club co-owner Jordan Chronister and several other white, male employees approached the remaining two women and said they took too long of a break and they needed to leave the course. The women argued they took an appropriate break, and that the men behind them were still on their beer break and not ready to tee off, as seen in a video Thompson gave the newspaper. The women were told that the police had been called, and so they waited.

[quote]Northern York County Regional Police arrived, conducted interviews and left without charging anyone. “We were called there for an issue, the issue did not warrant any charges,” Northern York County Regional Police Chief Mark Bentzel said. “All parties left and we left as well.” A phone listing for Steve Chronister rang busy on Monday. He told the York Daily Record he didn’t have time to comment on Sunday. Jordan Chronister’s wife and co-owner of the club, JJ Chronister, said Sunday she called the women personally to apologize. “We sincerely apologize to the women for making them feel uncomfortable here at Grandview, that is not our intention in any way,” she told the newspaper. “We want all of our members to feel valued and that they can come out here and have a great time, play golf and enjoy the experience.” She said she hopes to meet with them to discuss how the club can use what happened as a learning experience and do better in the future. Thompson said she’s not sure a meeting is what needs to happen.

[quote]“There needs to be something more substantial to understand they don’t treat people in this manner,” she said.

What does the DL say?

Ever been in a situation where someone just doesn't want you to eat any of the food?

A top aide to Sen. Bernie Sanders's (I-Vt.) 2016 presidential campaign is circulating a letter to top Democrats, asking them to back an effort to remove superdelegates from the Democratic primary nomination system, BuzzFeed News reports.

Jeff Weaver, who managed Sanders's campaign and went on to briefly run his spinoff group Our Revolution, is in talks with members of Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign to build support for the petition. It urges the DNC to rely solely on delegates that follow the will of Democratic primary voters in determining the nomination.

Weaver also plans to approach top Democrats in Congress about the issue, including House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.), according to BuzzFeed.

Premieres Monday, March 26.

Looks really good! Will anyone else be watching?

A hot dog with chili sauce (beans) and mustard yesterday gave me incredible gas at work. I mean like butt-clenching, internal stabbing pain gas.

Every time I went to the john there were people in there (shoes I recognized under the stalls). And I was afraid if I relaxed and urinated that I'd have a master blaster (and possibly shart). So I'd just wash my hands.

I was so exhausted from holding it in all day that I slept for 12 hours.

What do you do in cases where you have to fart so badly, but you can't get away?

It's been a long time coming.

C-3PO may be the most flamboyant droid in this or any galaxy near or far, far away but Star Wars has never introduced an openly non-heterosexual character on the big screen.

No wonder there is excitement over the latest Solo trailer which shows formerly shameless ladies' man Lando Calrissian "flirting" with a smiling Han Solo. He even calls him "Babe." Some fans hvae also seized on the young Lando's rather stylish and flashy wardrobe as further evidence, althoug the older Billy Dee Williams Leia-loving incarnation also had quite the flair for fashion.

Kathleen Kennedy has been promising to shake up the Star Wars universe for a while now and this would be the biggest step yet. Is Star Wars about to give fans an LGBTQXI icon?

And by "little-known," I do NOT mean The Exorcist, The Shining, The Blair Witch Project, The Orphanage, The Conjuring, Insidious, It Follows, The Babadook, The Witch, Halloween, Psycho, It, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Rosemary's Baby, The Ring, Poltergeist, Carrie, or Scream.

The Democratic National Committee filed a multimillion-dollar lawsuit Friday against the Russian government, the Trump campaign and the WikiLeaks organization alleging a far-reaching conspiracy to disrupt the 2016 campaign and tilt the election to Donald Trump.

The complaint, filed in federal district court in Manhattan, alleges that top Trump campaign officials conspired with the Russian government and its military spy agency to hurt Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton and help Trump by hacking the computer networks of the Democratic Party and disseminating stolen material found there.

I recently watched Hedwig (really great underrated movie btw) and I started thinking about him. I watched him get fired from "Boardwalk Empire" and "Hannibal" and I realized I hadn't seen him in anything for a while...but apparently he is one of the stars of ScarJo's big "Ghost in the Shell" movie coming up. Surprised he was able to nab such a high profile role.

Anyone know anything about him? I've heard talk of how he is constantly strung out on drugs and showing up to set late which is why no one wants to keep working with him. Not surprising, but pity, because he is a good actor. Hasn't he gotten better? Or do we still need to worry about seeing a headline about his death one day?

Is he bisexual? He always struck me as an obvious bisexual.

"The officer deployed his taser 10 times... Once in the terminal, police say, Garcia collapsed to the ground in an effort to impede the officers' efforts. At one point, police say, Garcia was able to reach for and grab an officer's handgun. The officer was able to knock the gun from his hand but Garcia 'once again reached for the weapon.'"

What a messy bitch. That moustache alone should carry a mandatory minimum sentence.

Um.

In the lead-up to Barbara Bush's funeral, the commentators kept making such a big deal about her being from "Rye, New York" as if it was something fantastic and special.

As far as I can tell, it's just much ado about nothing.

OK Katelynn, time for dinner!

Oops.

What happened on the Ourang Medan? In June 1947, several ships in the Strait of Malacca picked up distress messages from the Dutch freighter. The messages were alarming: “All officers including captain are dead lying in chart room and bridge. Possibly whole crew dead,” followed by “I die.” When the crew of a nearby shipped arrived to help, what they found was even more chilling. Every single member of the Ourang Medan lay dead, eyes and mouths open. There was no blood, no signs of a struggle, and no explanation as to what happened. Despite theories like extraterrestrials and methane gas, what occurred aboard the Ourang Medan remains a mystery to this day.

Mini Me is no longer.

I do. It’s fun!

He was in the play The Judas Kiss in London with Rupert Everett last year and is now on the drama series EastEnders. He recently posed for the cover of the Brit gay magazine Attitude. He is one hot limey twink in a Heath Ledger sort of way.

I'm sure Tom Daley loves a bit of EastEnders and Dustin Lance Black has seen a bit of Ben Hardy and is making plans to "take a meeting" with him soon.

Popular social media star Jahdiah Norelus, known online as Jahdiahn, just came out the closet – as STRAIGHT.

That’s right, y’all he’s STRAIGHT – ALLEGEDLY.

Jahdian was known as a FLAMBOYANT gay man – and he had TONS of followers that supported him. But Jahdian now says that he went to CHURCH – and is now “straight.”

We’re not quite sure how his fans are going to react.

he wasn’t just REGULAR gay . . . dude was EXTRA GAY!!

And will film in Scotland, randomly enough.

They announced that Meghan would be back on Monday.

I thought she was on deathwatch for her father?

I first found DL when trying to find out what a particular former porn star was doing, but recently there have been less of this type of thread.

Why is that?

So many to choose from! Feel free to suggest your own nominations.

The rapper officially (?) came out on his 2017 album Flower Boy. Ironically he’s been called a homophobe in the past with ”work that encourages violence and intolerance of homosexuality and fosters hatred with views thats seek to provoke others to terrorist acts” which got him banned from entering the UK and Australia.

Tyler was the first to openly support fellow Odd Future member Frank Ocean coming out in 2012.

I am totally fangurling over my favorite pron stars. I write to them. I am super respectful and supportive. Some of them are really lovely. Like Jeremy Walker, or Jaxton Wheeler. Jaxton is a gentleman. Class act. But some are total bullies and really unpleasant pricks. I wrote to one of the spanish guys from ' men at play ', Jimenez is his name, and he was an asshole. He basically told me to fuck off, and that he didn't want to be recognized ( duh, perhaps then don't accept to figure in professional pron, asshole). Another one who was totally rude, but still answered ( why?) is hot bodybuilder pornie and escort from OZ, mr Rogan Richards himself. I adore him so I was super disappointed, but then I thought, 'what exactly in his films made you think he was a nice guy ?'. Your turn :

I'm not feeling that great and I've been really sad for like the last couple of days. I woke up tonight and I was almost crying so all I want to do is curl up in bed and sleep.

Anyone else going to watch?

I love this show and enjoy it more than "The Good Wife."

DL fave Audra McDonald joins the cast in season two's premiere!

Too much about the American studios on DL--I prefer the European actors.

Does anyone have any favorites? I'm a huge fan of the improbably named Flex Extremmo.

Only two pilots are shooting there this spring. People keep saying these big studios that are being built yet I never hear anything about it. For a city that's supposed to be this big mecca for film and tv production I see very little presence. Is it just hype? Will it eventually be deserted like Wilmington, New Orleans and Michigan? Seems like a lot of productions are returning to LA and Vancouver.

We all know this is true. Yes, there's misogynistic gay men, but still, the majority of gays can relate to women more so than to men for some reason. Is it because we grow up gay, and can't really fit in with a society full of straight males, so they look towards the other gender? Is there truth to gay men's brains are more in line with women's? I'm just really curious. It's not bad to somehow have a woman as a role model, but with gay men, it seems overwhelmingly so, more than they can relate to straight men, or men period.

Just a sociological question.

Please, share the excruciating minutiae of your lives.

I'll start: I'm pretty sure my toilet seat is haunted. The things that hold the lid to the seat keep popping up on their own.

Yes, please!

Anyone have trouble controlling their spending?

I finally got myself out of $7700 in consumer debt this week and today I was out and saw a jacket and I bought the fucking thing. It was on sale and I still paid $280 for a jacket I don't need.

It was like I was in a trance, I kept telling myself not to but I tried it on and bought it. When I was outside the store looking at the bag was a like a slap in the face.

It's getting to the point that I think I need someone else to control my finances.

Does it work? I'm sitting here it's around 12:45 AM and Metallica "Fade to Black" is playing in the background. When I try to reach out I either get chastised or the atypical thoughts and prayers. I'm trying my hardest to find a job and this fucking sucks. I'm about out of all my money. I've helped out so many people financially and emotionally, but when it's time to reciprocate, nothing. I help people out of the kindness of my heart, not for payback of any kind. I'm so sick of this fucking world. I try and laugh and be sarcastic and that's all these people think of me, that I'm a damn joke. My fucking family hates me. My mom is about all I have left and she's incapacitated from a stroke. I'm just done and I wish someone would listen to me. I have a bottle of heart medication.

Some idiot prematurely filled up the old thread with a bunch of meaningless posts, so it's time to start a new thread!

Let's post MORE men presenting their dicks! Starting with THIS hottie!

Endorsing a disease-spreading Putin patsy like Jill Stein might be gross. But Sarandon gave the Democrats a chance.

Why does the Sarandon Cyberstalker never give it a chance that slaughtering 4,000 American soldiers, 250,000 innocent Iraqis and spending $4 trillion in debt for Imaginary Weapons of Mass Desctruction might not be worthy of an American president?

Does it think manically trolling Sarandon on a forum she doesn't read is changing anyone's mind? The Sarandon-bashing threads only make me love her more.

So it's some tell-all book about dating Anderson Cooper and some other famous gay guys. It was on Amazon, but it's been pulled.

Anderson, are you censoring a cute twunk's tell-all?

Who else is a fan?

Costumes by Miss Edith Head. I'm about to watch this (for the first time!) in glorious restored Blu-Ray Technicolor. Filmed on location in Algeria, Morocco, and Hollywood USA. Funny, it's 1:37, not widescreen. The Overture music (Victor Young) is playing now, very nice. I don't remember this story from Sunday School, and I hope it's a juicy as this Overture.

Discuss.

Are they friends. Or are they “friends”?

Cause the first thread had me in tears:

Actresses who we are told are rapturously beautiful by characters on their TV shows, even though no one in their right mind would call them attractive in real life.

Russians wanting a glimpse of the American Dream now have to wait. Or not go at all.

Escalating tensions between Moscow and Washington are putting a damper on Russians’ vacation plans, catching ordinary people in a diplomatic crossfire that has distinct Cold War overtones. A year ago, obtaining a U.S. tourist visa could take less than a week. Now, it comes with an eight-month delay.

“I am waiting for a miracle to happen. Maybe tomorrow Russia and the United States will decide they are friends, all staff will come back to the embassy, and I’ll get my visa,” said Mohamed Torky, executive chef at a Holiday Inn in northern Moscow.

Torky had planned a July vacation to the United States, to see fabled Las Vegas and eat steaks in Texas. He even thought of fulfilling his childhood dream of driving a Ford Mustang on American highways. But instead, he’ll be vacationing in nearby Georgia, or Egypt. The 32-year-old is furious. “Putin doesn’t suffer, Trump doesn’t suffer, but people like me suffer,” he said, referring to the Russian and American presidents.

I know they aren’t vlogging anymore. It seems like Will is not very active on social media. RJ on the other hand is very active. Maybe in more ways than one. What happened to them? Does anyone know if they divorced? Or is the divorce an internet hoax?

Cont'd.

He's relocated to WeHo. Any Grindr sightings? Bareback only?

He's making moves today.

Will DL Icon Serena Joy rule Gilead?

Will Aunt Lydia exact her revenge?

Will the Commader or Nick believably emote?

Will Elisabeth Moss win her first Emmy?

And remember, don't toe the bastards grind you down, bitches!

Sometimes the bottom is obviously in pain just when you enter him. Obviously this is reduced by clear communication but unless he’s been wearing a butt plug or dildo he’s gonna grit his teeth.

I just feel bad when that happens. I love getting my dick wet and being in his ass can be amazing, especially those first moments, but it’s kind of upsetting that what’s pleasurable to me can make him feel uncomfortable.

Any tips? I find rimming a little icky, but open to anything else.

And why?

And will anyone buy those orthopedic oxfords she wore to the 2014 Oscars when Ellen insulted her?

What are you favorite animated Disney films starting with "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" through "Coco?" Do you like the hand-drawn animation or the computer animated films better?

I have my tissue ready

I'm worried.

Stop trying to remove Trump and start looking towards the future dems!!!!!!!!

Agreeing with that statement is a qualification for deserving to live.

Not that I will ever watch some CBS procedural, but good for him.

What's your favorite wallet? I prefer one with a coin pouch, enough slots for my credit cards, a bill pouch that holds the multi-sized colorful trashy Euro notes as well as the sexier refined American dollars, last a long time, have an RFID blocking layer (Requirement added in 2016), and also super slim and not bulky, like you get with cheap leather. And at least 6% of the times you pull it out to pay for something, someone should say "Nice wallet!". What's the maximum that would be acceptable to spend on such a find? Any particular brands? I kind of like this one:

State Dinner

The color scheme is cream and gold and the china settings consist of the Clinton china for the baseplate, along with both Bush (43) and Clinton china for the dinner service. The First Lady chose the Bush china with the green color palette to complement the spring green and white flowers that will be featured in the State Dining Room. Mrs. Trump has also selected pieces from the extensive Vermeil collection as well as American Silver from the White House Collection—from Tiffany & Co. and S. Kirk & Sons—to add to the décor in the State Dining Room.

Entertainment

Washington National Opera from the John F. Kennedy Center for Performing Arts

Floral Arrangements

The Cross Hall will feature over 1,200 branches of cherry blossom, all grown in the United States.

The State Dining Room will feature more than 2,500 stems of white sweet peas and nearly 1,000 stems of white lilac—both California and Dutch grown mixed.

The parlors will feature a variety of mixed garden flowers. The Stephanotis vines, which will also be featured in the parlors, are from California.

Menu

The menu will be a showcase of the best of America’s cuisines and traditions, with nuances of French influences prepared by the renowned White House Executive Chef, Christeta Comerford (a full menu can be found at the bottom of the release).

The first course celebrates the wondrous first harvest of spring, using greens from the White House kitchen garden.

The main course will be a Rack of Spring Lamb and Carolina Gold Rice Jambalaya, which will be cooked in a New Orleans tradition and scented with the trinity of Cajun cooking—celery, peppers, and onions, and spiced with herbs from the South Lawn.

Dessert will be a Nectarine Tart infused with White House honey and accented by crème fraîche ice cream.

Wines

The wines were selected to complement the menu and embody the historic friendship between the United States and France, which dates back to the American Revolution.

The Domaine Serene Chardonnay “Evenstad Reserve” 2015 is the product of American and French collaboration—a combination of French plants from Dijon that thrive in the volcanic Oregon soil and colder temperatures. The wine was aged in 40 percent French oak barrels for more than 12 months.

The Domaine Drouhin Pinot Noir “Laurène” 2014—This wine uses the motto “French soul–Oregon soil.” The grapes at Domaine Drouhin are harvested and sorted by hand and fermented in French Oak barrels.

Schramsberg Demi-Sec “Crémant” has been served in the White House for official and ceremonial events many times over the years. The subtle sweetness and creamy effervescence of the 2014 vintage is the perfect accompaniment for a nectarine tart.

[quote]According to James Comey, when he met with Donald Trump in 2017, the incoming president denied allegations that he had hired prostitutes to urinate on a bed once used by President Obama. Trump’s denial, according to Comey, leaned heavily on his claim that he never even spent the night in Moscow. Instead, claimed Trump, he “departed for New York by plane that same night.”

[quote] Bloomberg News has obtained an additional piece of information disproving Trump’s alibi. Flight records show that Trump arrived in Moscow on early Friday morning, November 8, 2013. He departed early Sunday morning, November 10. Trump absolutely had enough time for a golden showers performance if he had wanted to have one.

I guess NPH is just so last week.

As an aside, do you think he gets internet privileges only on Wednesdays? There definitely seems to be a pattern here...

What do we know about him? Enjoy watching him in PACKED TO THE RAFTERS. He now lives in the States pursuing acting and music. He’s a cute guy, but I’m not sure if I enjoy his singing. And his mannerisms are so twee. But Australian women love him.

Premieres Sunday April 15 on BRAVO!

Hope it's as good as the original.

One of the life skills I hope people learn young is “how to say ‘no’ to someone, ‘gracefully’”. Being indecisive unnecessarily inconveniences them; ghosting them is hurtful and inconveniences them; and lying just destroys your own reputation.

It’s a very difficult skill to learn and apply regularly. It’s one of the crappy things adults should do.

Ok. James Blunt. You're Beautiful. The lyrics are dumb and trite but somehow the music gets me. (although the first "My life is brilliant" always seems like he came in to soon)

I do!

I know most people with motorcycles are deplorables but my neighbor isn't. Still, ever since the weather's been nice, he's been out driving that stupid bike of his. He's always had a motorcycle, but it's even more annoying now because he just bought a brand new Harley of some kind last year and it has that that low, loud, rumbling sound, and I hate it. If he's not driving it, he's out in his driveway washing and polishing it, (which is better than him driving it). I suppose it's better than those high pitched racing bikes I hear around sometimes, but I still hate it. I want to say something to him about how much I hate the noise, but he's been a pretty good neighbor otherwise - I had a minor surgery a few months ago and several times he came and cleared all the snow off of my driveway and sidewalk without even asking me. He also came and fixed my garage door when it was stuck and didn't even want to take a bottle of wine in thanks for helping me out.

So, should I say something about his bike or should I let it go?

She doesn't speak, nor looks like she did when she was in her 20s. What happened to her? Her voice used to be so distinctive. Her teeth a really weird now too.

The two men that were arrested for loitering in the Starbucks has become a huge problem for the company.

They threw the manager of the store under the bus even though company policy indicates calling law enforcement is appropriate if loitering non-paying customers refused to leave, called her a racist and then fired her.

Unfortunately, Starbucks really fucked up legally because the manager now has a very strong legal case for tens of millions in damages.

Aren't they worried about inviting ironic reversals?

Joe Frauton: "I'm so happy! Everything is going according to plan! #blessed #lovemylife EVEN THE GODDESS THETIS HERSELF IS NOT AS BEAUTIFUL AND HAS NOT HAD SUCH AN AMAZING DAY AS ME! SO BLESSEDDDD"

News article the next year: "Joe Frauton was indicted on 411 counts of felony pedophilia, Lesbian harassment, counterfeiting, and treason against the United States of America. His children have been sent to Mexican orphanages, his accounts have been frozen and will be used to repay his victims, his wife has left him after she discovered his children weren't actually hers due to a mishap and drunk doctor during her invitro fertilization sessions, and the island he visited in the South Pacific for 20 days last August and blogged about and photographed extensively has been designated "ground zero" for the lethal outbreak of untreatable antibiotic immune Chlamydia"

What are some ironic reversals that you expect will occur to people who are just too fucking #happy?

George Michael will be honoured with a blue plaque at Bushey Meads School on April 15, while the antics of his partner in later years Fadi Fawaz continue to be a focus of the media.

Thought I'd start this as appropriate place for people following the handling of George Michael's posthumous legacy. Since Fadi Fawaz continues to cause a public stir and that story continues to unfold, I guess discussion about that should be open as well. However, I don't know if many are very interested in him aside from being GM's partner. I don't see why that should dominate the discussion here on DL, with so many long threads in his name.

There is much more to talk about re George Michael than his exes, and still things people are trying to puzzle out. So I thought this thread might be handy for those with interest in GM, when things about Fadi Fawaz are going through a quiet phase.

Can't handle people who work with other people and have zero self awareness- There's this bitch at my office who wears high heel boots and of course you can hear coming and going but she will not stay put! Back and Forth to the bathroom, she will go into the kitchen and just open the refrigerator door, look at the coffee pot and walk another lap. I want to strangle her!

You know some lucky bitch has some, straight guys are stupid and love to text pics of their dicks. I don't care if his face isn't visible, I just need a look at that succulent MAN MEAT.

It can't happen soon enough, he is sooooooo fiiiiiinnnnnnnnneeeeeeeeeee!!

I'm not bashing Stevie. I haven't googled to get the answer. Why google when there are so many knowledgeable DLers home on Friday night, looking for a reason to justify being on (I'm uploading two Rolling Stones bootlegs from 1972)? I'm trying to post side by side pics but am technologically challenged. I worked with a lady who could not only name the procedures but tell what the goop was that was used.

I think it is so brave and candid of Carole to get it off her chest and admit to the world that she is partly responsible for Gloria Estefan.

Would that we could all be so honest about our failings.

I used to be an avid NY Times guy but I find their domestic political reporting to be pushing an agenda so hard it seems like opinion rather than fact. Still love them for world news, sports and pop culture reporting, plus the Real Estate section. Turn to NPR and CNN and WaPo for domestic political reporting. NY Magazine, The Atlantic and Politico for more in-depth reports on the world at large and politics respectively.

You guys?

This person has really gotten out of hand lately. They’re OCD, demanding that all threads about a certain individual be kept to a single one, despite it being about a specific subject. I think a banning is in order, or a hanging.

Excellent read at link.

I can't stand it. Doesn't it bother you that these guys are being exploited?

His IG is NoDonutsHere. Total stud. He can cuff me!

I'm a gay man, single. He's a gay man in a long term relationship. We have been working together for the past two years and we get on very well. But I fell in love with him (cliche, I know) and I never really told him about my feelings because I know he his someone I will never have. It would be very embarrassing for me to tell him and then continue working with him. I started having feelings for him back in December of 2016, then it sort of passed last spring and now [almost a year later] it's back on again. But it's much more intensive. I keep looking at his Instagram & Facebook accounts, scroll through his comments, likes etc. It's terribly unhealthy and I've having trouble sleeping & losing weight rapidly because I started smoking again and it totally killed my appetite. I spotted him running errands downtown last week and followed him for almost an hour. It's possible that I wanted to :bump into him by accident" and wanted to start a conversation or buy him a coffee or something like that but then I changed my mind. No idea why. I've never done something like that in my life ever before. It was shameful and twisted.

He's a genuinely nice person who cares about others but very introverted. It was hard to find a connection with him because it's very hard for him to connect with people, maintain relationships with them and open up to them. And his boyfriend stopped appearing in his social media posts and pictures [during the last two months] which is sort of weird and suspicious. I would like to stop this shit once and for all but it's like running in circles.

You will probably laugh at this and mock me endlessly but I really wanted and needed some advice because I haven't told this to anyone.

Traditionally HM The Queen creates the royal groom HRH The Duke of xxxx the morning of the wedding, the bride taking her husband's title.

We've had Andrew, Duke of York, and we've had William, Duke of Cambridge.

So where will The Queen make Harry, Duke of?

He really really pings. He has 2 kids with his wife Tess Sanchez. He's 35. How old do you think she is? She's a casting director -HELLO!

My favorite part is how they combined animation and live action. When I was a child, I always looked forward to Bert's dance with the penguins. Of course, Julie Andrews was delightful throughout.

British boys are lovely.

Please continue.

And please don't mention Mame!

MURIEL!

omg it looks so good. Better than the current seasons of other housewives' shows right now.

First thing to note is Charrisse got demoted to "friend". The new housewife is Candice Dillard,

Karen gets investigated by the other housewives lol she's not gonna like that 1 bit

The Duchess of york's inimitable ability to capture that exquisite and enviable "jolie-laide" look with mismatched layers had guests gasping at the London venue. She effortlessly hit the bull's eye of fashion's current obsession with streetwear velour slippers. The 'look/don't touch' sneak peek at her firm and lean thighs held guests spellbound messaging her unique skill in combining youth and granny elements showing an expertise at reinventing classic pieces for heartstopping effect. Is Sarah, Duchess of York the new fashion icon we've been overlooking all this time?

This is one of the rare occasions that the sex rituals of the Elite are being revealed to the rest of the world. There must be some sort of in-fighting between the different factions.

Mack is a patsy, who was psychologically indoctrinated as a child. Some call it brainwashing, others call it mk ultra programming. Its goal is to create an undetectable mind controlled sex slave. She will be given further programming while in custody, so she doesn't name names, or her self-destruct programming will be turned on. Research her birth and early years in Germany, center of the Bavarian sex cult, and her connection to Stephen Collins (and the entire Collins family), disgraced actor from '7th Heaven.'

This is just the tip of the iceberg. They have these prorammed slaves embedded throughout the entertainment industry. When this 'house of cards' comes crashing down, it will make the Harvey Weinstein saga look like a children's tea party.

Stay tuned...

I became so lazy i think i am going crazy. I work six days a weak, 9 to 5, and can't do nothing else. My mind is shut down. At the moment there is no clean plate at my house. I dont cook, just buy unhealthy food. I gained 20 pounds last year. I dont clean. Dont go to the gym. I can't even read new books or watch new movies or tv shows. All i do is surf net on my phone. What the hell is wrong with me?

Totally hot.

I took this on my way to breakfast in Holland Park Avenue.

Jealous, bitches?

April 22, 2018

Q) It’s obviously a very revealing moment when Maeve forces Lee to strip naked. What was your initial reaction to that?

A) Well, I actually knew about this months before we started. Jonathan and Lisa talked to me about it and asked how I’d feel about doing that. My immediate response was, “Sure, whatever you need.” It’s not often that we see a man naked. It’s a rare thing. Women have to reveal a lot all the time, and it felt so in keeping with what we were doing with the themes and with the tables being turned. And obviously, doing it with Thandie, who spent most of the season last year naked. I found it incredibly powerful, actually. When we were shooting, I was very clear to the team that they could shoot it however they wanted to. I thought it was important for that scene to happen. Although, it’s been a very interesting experience to go through [the premiere] last night.

Q) How so?

A) Actually, I’d recommend it to anyone. I was really concerned about that moment. As you can imagine, you’re sitting in an auditorium full of a bunch of people. You know it’s coming up and you’ve built yourself up to this. And it’s coming, I’m about to get naked in front of everyone here. After it occurred, it’s quite liberating because it is shown now. Can’t go back, can’t hide that anymore. It is just a body. I mean, we’ve all got one. It’s very liberating.

Q) It was surprisingly impactful to see that reversal.

A) Yeah, I think that’s the beautiful part of it. But it was surprising. I don’t think anyone was ever going to expect anything like that happening. Like I said before, it was very much about the tables being turned and the hosts suddenly becoming in control. It’s a mirroring of what these hosts have to go through.

For Lee, it’s about the breaking down of this egoic construct and chipping away at the rules of that. The stripping down of it. Maybe there’s something lurking underneath.

Q) Did you have any trepidation approaching the scene? Did you ask for anything to make sure you felt comfortable?

A) Yeah, it was all dealt with an awful lot of respect. The team were incredible and they make sure that you are feeling so comfortable about it. I talked at length with Jonathan the night before and once we talked through it all, and then working with Thandie, who is like the best person I could possibly do it with. You know, everyone’s just so supportive on set and you just got on with it. You just did it. I was taking my clothes off for the whole day, I don’t know, getting naked. Once it was done once, that was it.

Martin says he can't enjoy shooting scenes because of the fans. I think he's jealous of Benedict's popularity.

I'm 37 and not an eldergay but why dont we have more respect for these men and women who lived through the AIDS crisis and saw revolurionary changes in the gay community? I was at a bar last night just really had an eye opening experience at seing how dismissed some of the older men were.

Did he die?

One place to share all our opinions and takes

So far it's an uphill climb for Nixon. Latest poll has Cuomo up 68 - 21

I've developed a serious crush on this guy.

He's very engaging during his segments on the show and he really explains the science behind his recipes well. Sometimes he looks a little messy, but this year it seems like he's settled on a haircut and beard thickness that works for him. He appears to have a nerve problem similar to what Milo Ventimiglia has. I don't know what it's called, but it causes a droop or deadness to half of his lower lip. Sometimes it sounds like he has a slight lisp too which makes him all the more endearing to me.

I can't find much information about him though. Of course what I'm really hoping to know is if he is gay. The woman he's paired with in most of his recent Instagram shots is his producer and seems to be married to another man. He features a lot of cats in pictures (could be a sign?), but no pics of anyone that I would suspect of being a significant other.

There is at least one other fan out there who has posted on the ATK thread about his desire to bed Souza. Are there more?

As we wind down to the final season, I want to see:

Bad wigs and moustaches

Backstabbing and bromances

Glasnost and perestroika

And Costa Ronin's feets

Well...?

She would be been perfect (see King Kong and Blue Sky).

Fantastic article/interview.

I think so...

Every awards ceremony has them.

The fundies love it, but I'd like to have a non-fundie opinion of it. On Rotten Tomatoes, it has 96% approval with the audience, but the critic score, at 70%, is much more modest, and the top critic score (20%) is positively hostile (though the same size is still small).

Did you watch it? Did you like it?

One of her best performances ever. Sexy, raw, uninhibited, funny and brutal and in her mid 60's.

What movie makes you cry?

Oh, every movie. I saw The Big Sick, and that made me cry. King Kong makes me cry. I love Jessica Lange.

Would you say Jessica Lange is your celebrity crush?

Yeah, I'd say that's pretty fair. And my beloved partner Leslie Bibb looks a lot like Jessica.

I agree. Leslie Bibb looks like Lange.

Share the best ones of your favorite actresses, highlighting what you love most about them and or their best scenes.

This one was recently posted and I'm in love with it.

[quote]Labour has drawn up plans that would force film production companies to ensure gender equality and diversity on set, following fresh evidence of the slow pace of change in the movie industry.

Maybe Meghan Markle can be their Royal Patron.

It's at 4:04.

I miss him.

"He is best known for his role as Logan Watson in the original Disney Channel sitcom I Didn't Do It."

I cracked again today; unraveled like a colorful maypole. I'm always fighting myself; raging against my own progress and evolution. Thankfully, I'm still capable of holding myself back; stopping just before plunging from the edge of the precipice.

I thought of my favorite turn by an actress ever. I thought of Lange's muscular, sexually charged, feuled by a primal, universal rage performance. How fluid, mercurial, violent and triumphant it is. I settled down.

I'm too drunk (I have to be to not keep going like a bright white kite in a hurricane), so I really can't play piano. I put some Tori Amos on. Something - "Datura" - that can keep up with my current electricity.

Carly Marshall is just a flying white-hot myth in my mind's eye - but the thouvht of her keeps me steady.

[bold]The[/bold] best Oscar for Best Actress winner ever.

“Be present. I would encourage you with all my heart just to be present. Be present and open to the moment that is unfolding before you. Ultimately, your life is made up of moments... Don’t miss them by being lost in the past or anticipating the future.” Jessica Lange

So fucking good. Should've been a theatrical release. Neatly a decade later and it holds up like a classic.

Lange's comeback tour de force performance garnered her the Emmy, rightfully so, while Barrymore's revelatory turn.nabbed her the Globe and SAG, deservedly so.

It also won all the top prizes at the Emmy, including Best movie.

Langend. Check out the before and after below.

Why would they choose her to host the Country Music Awards as she is pop singer.

Summary of the findings:

- Of students who hooked up, 7% of men and 3% of women had their last hook up with someone of the same sex. Of these groups, 12% of men and 25% of women identify as straight.

- These "straight" students are more conservative, and have more religious backgrounds, than students identifying as gay, lesbian, bisexual, or unsure who hooked up with the same sex.

- Straight men who hooked up with men are more likely to belong to a fraternity than the other men in the study (18% v. 8%). There are no differences in sorority membership between straight women who hooked up with the same sex and the other women who did so (4% for both). So, fraternity membership facilitates same-sex encounters for straight men in a way that sorority membership does not for straight women.

- Contrary to expectations, straight men who hook up with men usually know their partner about as well as respondents in other identity categories, so "down low" encounters are not disproportionately anonymous.

- Genital contact (ie, anal, vaginal, oral, and hand sex) happened in 71% of the same-sex hookups involving straight male respondents and 51% of those involving straight women. For non-straight men, the number was 93%, and for non-straight women 72%.

- About a fifth of same-sex encounters involving straight respondents may have been just for show. All such encounters involve straight women and a disproportionate number belonged to the youngest age category (18). These encounters are seen as having been for show because almost each one of them took place in a public setting in plain sight, and involved a high levels of drunkenness. Almost none included genital contact (ie, limited to kissing and grabbing boobs and butts), and such hookups were the least likely not to be accompanied by a desire for a repeat or to get in a relationship with the other person.

I’ll go first....

I HATE BOB FOSSE.

(Then I remember he directed “STAR 80”...but I still hate him)

"Unknown" by Jacob Banks.

Hi! Any gay or bisexual rumors about Ronn Moss (Bold and Beautiful’s ex Ridge)? And what about his current wife Devin DeVasquez?

The role is King Arthur in an upcoming film called "Arthur & Lancelot"...Joel Kinnaman has been cast as Lancelot. Four actors have tested for Arthur: Luke Evans, Toby Kebbell, Kit Harrington and Richard Madden.

Evans is gay (though the "openly" part is a source of much controversy); so which one of the other 3 is also openly gay?

Seriously

Maybe now this hot debate can remove itself from the Hollywood gossip thread

I got thinking about it today. Made a poll... decided lets just go yes or no, the thinking being even a 'well maybe' will be revealing.

For the sake of interesting discussion, lets list our reasons why.

I am not afraid to die, per se, because I don't believe in God, so no afterlife. If I did believe in God I would not be afraid to die because I think hell was made up to keep people in line (cue the chorus who would argue so was God.). I don't look forward to dying because that means this is it and there were a few things I wish I'd done differently. I sure wish I hadn't been born when we were hated so much. Also I know there will be things I wanted to know how they turned out and I won't because I will be dead.

What's with all these threads?

Before joining the DL, I thought of a troll as someone who tries to cause trouble or posts deliberately inflammatory stuff. Or maybe a person who is a bit of a trickster, like when Sean Cody featured a group scene with FOUR BOTTOMS.

But on DL, it seems that we call people trolls just because we disagree with them or we are bored by their thread.

Discuss.

Why do they come here? Are they trying to ruin this site?

I miss your posts and hope you come back soon. That is all.

Signs of a regressive left troll

—Excessive use of SJWspeak (you know it when you hear it)

—Constant obsession with Islam and trans, as in defending them at the expense of gays, Jews, and women

—Racist, misandrist, homophobic attacks on gay white men as if they're any near as bad as heterosexuals of any race, religion or nationality

—Anti-Israel propaganda that sooner or later lapses into flat-out antisemitism (it always does because anti-zionism is antisemitism is racism)

—Constantly starting concern troll threads claiming anyone who disagrees with them a troll. That's a textbook case of psychological projection.

—Refusal to admit flaws in Keynesian economic theory or its role in keeping people of color poor and making income disparity and unemployment even worse than it would be otherwise.

—Uses ableist hate speech like "l**n" and "n*t" to demonize their opponents, which is right out of Stalin's playbook.

—Oblivious to how many people are dead because of ideas they want to put into practice in the United States

Where are they coming from?

As others have noted,

Your boy got a new gig!

STOP FUCKING RESPONDING TO ITS SPAM, ASSHOLES.

Why are they here?

I would gladly scroll through 600 of John's seth Mcfarlane threads if I means this anti goyim psycho gets the boot. go away! And yes I did just block him but he must be banished

is this how you picture it?

I haven't heard from him in ages. Has he been converted into a normal person? I'm worried. He's still part of our community, even if I hate his posts like a Sean Hannity TV special with commercials advertising Bill O'Reilly's latest book.

And half of Datalounge (at least) celebrates.

This attack was the work of a so-called “anti-tranny brigade.” Matthew?

And he is a stupid, sloppy troll who can't even get his own identity correct.

His initial persona was as a "lesbian" dating a transwoman. Now he has morphed into a transwoman himself who dates and is irresistible to straight men. And now he starts racist Breitbart threads. He may very well be Milo himself.

Do they think they're funny?

How gloriously insane.

Trashing Meryl, Jessica, Bette, Joan, idolizing Faye - it's a wonderful trainwreck to behold. With all of Faye's recent pics, I initially thought it was a Sesame Street fan account...

Lass den Spaß beginnen!

Is she new here? I kinda love her.

Should he be committed to a mental institution? What is wrong with the very vocal few who enable him? They're always making excuses for his creepiness.

F&F!

When will it finally be banned? Is there anyone this loon hasn't accused of being Poo Shoes (and, yes, I found the Bellagio thread funny, but it's enough now. You've been taking shit way too far for over a year now.)

Is there a threshold number of batshit threads created in a day that she hasn't crossed yet? Or how about the number of other threads she spoils with her insane, unrelated replies?i

What's up with the AIDS troll on the Datalounge? I've personally never had a test for that and feel great every day, but this person seems obsessed with AIDS? It's almost like the person WANTS people to have AIDS or think they have it. IT'S REALLY CREEPY.

Fuck you bitch!

What think you?

Enjoy babe!

It was all because of Russian Trolls!!! <---- This Russian Troll hysteria is now the “birther” canard of the Dem Party. I must admit however that it has become an effective way for the Dem party leaders to deflect blame away from them by finding someone/something else to throw under the bus. The Russian Trolls fallacy is being used as salve to assuage the bleedy butt hurt of the low info Dem voters who blindly fell for the MSM’s poll rigging about Hillary’s standing even though WikiLeaks was telling everyone how it was being done (by over-sampling and etc.). The upper Dem party members know that it is far easier and costs them essentially nothing to pick a Straw Man to attack i.e. Russian Trolls and Fake News. They got themselves into this pickle because they did not bother to address the real issues that resonated with the voters such as how Bernie was dealt with and Donna Brazile giving Hill the debate questions. Ignoring (as best they could) the way Obama’s policies disenfranchised a large portion of the population. If you doubt the effect of some of O’s policies Google Dem seat loses, oh and it was NOT due to Gerrymandering the districts as this is also a favorite trick of the Dems and they have done it countless time (this is for the Gerrymandering Districts Troll) . If the Rusdian troll and fake news (which deserves its own thread) foolishness is continued instead of working on fixing the real problem, Dems are going to lose again. (Link is just ONE example)

Block him, then look at his posts. He's a fucking retard.

I saw this in the European porn star thread. It's from 2014. It looks like he has the most amazing life. What's his story?

The other ones are showing signs of wear. I suggest one called Skin Man who is fascinated with removing small pieces of skin from people, including himself. He then posts links to skin pics and short, creative videos in which he is the moderator. He calls it performance art and calls the pieces of skin his "children" or "creatures". He also takes to picking at and flicking flakes of skin off his face typically toward the camera followed by a quick terse laugh tinged with the promise of more serious to come or with an echo of a tortured past. He also collect piles of his own skin flakes - proudly. Sometimes shady, yet funny and somewhat menacing, John Waters-like characters from Skin Man's neighborhood make appearances in the videos. His motto is "I only skin with consent or when there's no breath to vent."

What's your idea for a new DL troll?

I'll start. Parker Higgins ("xor") is cute in a "tryhard nerd" kind of way. For example, his post about visiting the grave of the inventor of Morse code. Really, gurl? It's like he's following a list of "quirky things I should like for branding reasons". Although he should take those glasses off and... leave them off forever, they're hideous. But regardless, he's cute and seems to have a nice bod.

Is someone off her meds today?

We all know what needs to be done

Blame it on "The West Wing."

That's what this piece in Current Affairs argues.

I thought of DL given the twin obsessions with Mrs. Clinton and old TV shows.

Have at it. I never watched West Wing, so curious to see what you think of the argument that sums up like this:

[quote] [Democrat] smugly taxonomized as “smart” and “dumb” the very electorate they needed to win over, and retreated into an ideological fever dream in which political success doesn’t come from organizing and building power, but from having the most polished arguments and the most detailed policy statements. If you can just crush Trump in the debates, as Bartlet did to Richie, then you’ve won. (That’s not an exaggeration of the worldview. Ezra Klein published an article entitled “Hillary Clinton’s 3 debate performances left the Trump campaign in ruins,” which entirely eliminated the distinction between what happens in debates and what happens in campaigns. The belief that politics is about argument rather than power is likely a symptom of a Democratic politics increasingly incubated in the Ivy League rather than the labor movement.)

She/He was a staple here in the 1990's. GET was "Rick-Rolling" {with Gloria's videos and photos of course} here before "Rick-Rolling" was a thing. GET always made me laugh. I miss her/him.

How do you tell when you're dealing with a Russian troll?

If so who are they?

What is their problem? Ironically, by starting the same thread over and over again, they're coming off as someone with the disorder themselves.

We all know you're an obese, mentally ill shut in collecting disability.

They're spamming the board with the following: "The racism and misogyny on this board contributes to low self esteem and substance abuse amongst women and LGBT people of color. Datalounge continues to uphold those who support this type of bullying; enabling racism and sexism is as bad as being racist and sexist and engaging in racist and sexist online bullying". What's the deal with this troll? They've been at it for almost ten years now off and on.

Why do you do it?

You start a thread "Hot Canadian Guys"

Then, over the next two to three months you populate the thread with photos with your fangurl comments: "PM Trudeau showing pits", "Gorgeous Gosling", "Babacious Bieber" --except your photos are usually from one or two Tumblrs + IG. 90% of the posts on the thread will be from you, interrupted by the occasional "Hot!'" or "Bieber looks like a lesbian!"

Do you want approval for your fetish?

Just enjoy sharing your jack off photos?

Have a vested interest in convincing people that Canadian guys are hot?

What gives?

Has anyone else noticed that there seems to be an army of trolls on here today, bumping up inane two- and three-year-old threads? (Ashley Olson, John Edwards....)

What's up with that? Is it a ham-handed effort to distract us from the political clusterfuck that's rightfully occupying most posters' minds right now?

It's doesn't seem to be just one poster doing this -- either they keep hopping from device to device, or there's a troll farm at work. I can't keep up with the "ignore" button!

Could zhe just die already? Really getting tiresome.

Yellow skin troll, I noticed another blond white man with the buttery yellow tone you crave.

I give you ..

Drum roll please..

Frau social media's own.... Chris Ulmer of Special Books By Special Kids!!!

Did he die?

When I first got here to the DL in Summer 2015, there would be thread after thread about the delicious Tom Hardy. So many people hated the guy who started all of those threads. What happened to him?

The Larries are still here and the Luke Evans nut, so what happened ever to the Tom Hardy Troll?

Bernie is out there fighting for the environment and native rights by opposing the pipelines, he is also fighting the scaleback of LGBT rights. What has Hillary been doing since she lost? Oh right, one tweet about the women's march, that's it. She should use this time to fight Trump's policies, like Bernie. No wonder she fucking lost, and I say this as a Hillary suppoter btw. I now understand why during the campaign Trump resonated with people because he spoke about bringing jobs back, while Hillary only cared about women's rights. Of course that's important too, but why not talk about other issues as well, like Bernie? Hillary lost because the issues she covered during the campaign didn't resonate with people. She should have talked about bringing back jobs. The least she could do is focus on that now, but she isn't. Instead Bernie is out there fighting. Ugh.. I really cannot with Hillary. I don't understand her at all.

Gurrrrrl!!

John Bolton, President Donald Trump’s new national security adviser, chaired a nonprofit that has promoted misleading and false anti-Muslim news, some of which was amplified by a Russian troll factory, an NBC News review found.

The group’s authors also appeared on Russian media, including Sputnik and RT News, criticizing mainstream European leaders like French President Emmanuel Macron.

From 2013 until last month, Bolton was chairman of the Gatestone Institute, a New York-based advocacy group that warns of a looming “jihadist takeover” of Europe leading to a “Great White Death.”

From Harper's Bazaar:

RG: It's been almost two weeks since the election. How did you feel in the wake of Donald Trump being elected president of the United States? Were you surprised?

M: On election night I was sitting at a table with my agent, who is also one of my very best friends, and we were truly praying. We were praying. She was on her computer. She's friends with someone who was working on Hillary [Clinton]'s campaign and was getting blow-by-blow reports, and at one point she was like, "It's not looking good." It was just like watching a horror show. And then she was reading from the Quran, and I was reading from the Zohar. We were doing everything: lighting candles, meditating, praying, offering our lives to God forever, if only. I went to sleep, and since that night, I wake up every morning and it's like when you break up with somebody who has really broken your heart.

Then bring down Trump and Pence. Haha.

Is there anything worse than this one for deal dash? It’s on every single day on Morning Joe. It goes through me like a knife.

I was molested!!!!!

Tell us about it! 😳

Is it as boring as many folks say it is?

On Maddie McCann:

It's in The Globe!

That's how Mommie Dearest happened.

NBC's Chuck Todd confessed that he and others in the mainstream news media played down just how despised Hillary Clinton was in the heartland due to the fear of appearing "sexist."

What's more, he admitted, the mainstream media failed to "tell the stories of all Americans."

"Where I think political correctness got in the way of what we all knew as reporters and didn't fully deliver was how hated the Clintons were in the heartland," the "Meet the Press" host admitted Thursday to former Bush White House press secretary Ari Fleischer in a interview for the "1947" podcast.

"And I think it was a fear of, 'Oh, is it going to look like it's sexist, anti-woman if we say that?'" he added, pointing out that on the hustings he saw numerous "Hillary for Prison" signs adorning the front yards of rural America.

"I think we underplayed it a little bit out of political correctness fears," Mr. Todd said. "No member of the press corps wants to look like they're singling out a group and making a group feel bad, right, whatever that [group] is.

"If we sort of were straight-up honest and blunt about hey do we understand the level of hatred that's out there and you know, all the Hillary for Prison signs that are out there, we certainly would have at least made the viewer know, hey, you know, she's not well-liked in some places in this country in ways that's times 10 when it comes to Trump," he said.

"I think you've put your finger on the point I was making earlier about the self selection of reporters who go into journalism," Mr. Fleischer replied. "And, because I do submit they're largely from the same liberal caste, they see things through the same type of ideological lens, they're so much more susceptible to that damning political correctness that blinds them. And they don't see what you just said."

Mr. Todd rejected the premise that NBC News or the media in general is driven to "undermine" Donald Trump's presidency, but admitted there was a "coastal" bias in story selection during the 2016 presidential campaign that poorly served a national audience.

"What do I think we did wrong in this election? The biggest thing is we didn't tell the stories of all Americans," Mr. Todd said. "We told the stories of coastal Americans. And ultimately, that's like the larger trust issue."

"We were more likely to do a story about the Dreamer that might get deported with new policies than we were about the 19-year-old opioid addict who feels hopeless in Rolla, Missouri. And, I'm not, I don't pick on Rolla, Missouri, it's, my point is that we just, we did not equally tell those stories very well, right, and, we were not, that is an out-of-touch issue."

Since the old thread is gone, I figured it was time for another thread on everyone's favorite exhibitionist gay grandpa David. Update: In his newest batch of pics he is full on getting finger fucked...or more accurately thumb fucked, could porn be far behind???

The New York Times reported the Department of Health and Human Services has proposed rolling back Affordable Care Act rules that bar “discrimination based on ‘gender identity’ and ‘stereotypical notions’ about how men or women should present themselves or behave.” The proposal comes after a Texas judge ruled that the transgender protections were “contrary to law and exceeded statutory authority.” Roger Severino, director of the Office for Civil Rights at HHS, explained that “the court order is binding on H.H.S., and we are abiding by it.”

But, “the rule being drafted by the Trump administration puts federal officials at odds with many medical experts.” James L. Madara, MD, “the chief executive of the American Medical Association, urged the administration to preserve the existing protections for transgender people.” In a letter to Severino, Dr. Madara emphasized that the AMA “‘stands behind’ those protections and ‘opposes any modifications to the rule that would jeopardize the health and well-being of vulnerable populations.’”

Although skeptical, I'm open about spiritual stuff. My boyfriend, who is from Germany, did one a couple years ago. He saw himself as a young native American woman. However, the session was conducted by an amateur hypnotist. (It was free) And his past life vision was cut short. So he couldn't gather much information from it. He now wants to try it again. Has anyone ever tried it? If you have, how was it?

They are impossible to deal with- nice at first, and then WHOA. Shit show.

Can we be honest? I'm sure her book won't mention these two topics though...

Stanley Kubrick claimed that "the world is run by pedophiles", according to Nicole Kidman, who says the reclusive director taught her "how the world works and who is really in control behind the scenes" while filming Eyes Wide Shut.

"Stanley told me the world is run by pedophiles," Nicole Kidman said while promoting HBO's Big Little Lies, in Los Angeles. "He studied secret societies his whole life, he was fascinated by them, and he said the elite, the top secret societies, they are full of men with a certain predilection. They are tied together, sort of bonded, by pedophilia.

"They all know each other's dark secrets. There is no way out for any of them. It's a lifetime bond. Even if one of them wanted to go straight, repent, so to speak, he can't. His peers will bring him down. They are in it until death, driving the world to ruin. That's kind of how Stanley explained it but it was all very complex. I'm probably not doing it justice."

The 1999 film, starring Kidman and her then husband Tom Cruise, was Stanley Kubrick's last outing as director before his death the same year. Many people believe Kubrick gave away too many secrets in the film about secret societies and the global elite, and it may have cost him his life.

Asked if Kubrick's knowledge of secret societies and their darkest secrets had anything to do with his death, Kidman raised an eyebrow and said "That's not a question I can answer here."

"Though maybe I could. None of you in the media would be allowed to print it, would you? The men who own your companies wouldn't allow it to get out," Kidman said.

A brave speaker of truth, Nicole Kidman had contracts cancelled by two Hollywood studios earlier this year after she dared go against the current Hollywood agenda by saying "we need to support whoever is the president".

By daring to speak about the possible reasons for Stanley Kubrick's death she is now running the risk of further attacks.

While she was not willing to comment on the cause of Kubrick's death, Kidman was willing to say that the reclusive director was not expecting death to come so soon.

"Stanley's next film was going to be about psychopathic pedophiles. He said he was going deeper down the rabbit hole."

"He always had four of five projects ready to go. He was a meticulous researcher. He believed the most powerful films always have a hard grounding in truth."

The two actors got married yesterday. Unfortunately no photos from the ceremony have been released yet.

This bitch.

Susan Sarandon has detailed how her activism has left her 'isolated' from her Hollywood peers.

Speaking to Sydney's Saturday Extra, the actress admitted that she wasn't one to shy away from controversy after expressing her staunchly negative opinion on Hillary Clinton during the last US presidential campaign and having her say on the #MeToo movement in light of the Harvey Weinstein scandal.

However, the Academy Award winner, 71, has admitted that her strong views came at a price - leaving her shunned from people in the industry and even receiving death threats.

Speaking of her future, Susan expressed that she didn't want to look back in hindsight and wish she had done something about a particular cause.

'The things that I regret are only things I didn’t say or do, even though I went through a pretty scary time leading up to Iraq, and I certainly - in not supporting Hillary Clinton - ended up getting an enormous amount of heat about that.

Clear in her views, the Thelma and Louise star continued: 'I just know for all the unkind or hurtful things, or scary things that have happened because of an unpopular stand with the war or whatever, I don’t regret it.'

He thinks we need to start caring about people who voted for Trump. I love Al but I do not give a shit what happens to deplorables.

Yeah, that was dumb.

But who's the cute tall guy in the background?

Now we know.

Martin Shkreli discusses Hillary's health. This is from awhile back (before the election), but it is interesting. He actually seems quite sympathetic to her here.

Devastated over blowing a “sure thing” presidential election and terrified of being indicted for bribery and treason, Hillary Clinton has turned to booze to numb her pain — and friends fear she’s drinking herself to death!

“She has blackouts and wakes up wondering where she is and what she has done,” says a source. “It’s very scary. The booze is her death warrant!” The former first lady even confessed to guzzling wine while giving a commencement speech at her Wellesley College alma mater on May 26.

Former Vice President Joe Biden said Friday that he knew a month before the 2016 election that Hillary Clinton would lose key battleground states.

Biden made the comment during a closed-door appearance with Mitt Romney at the annual Romney-hosted E2 Summit, reports Politico.

Based on his assessment of campaigning in those key battleground states, he said, he knew a month before the election that Clinton would lose them.

Biden also stepped on Hillary just last month, saying he never thought she was a “great candidate” during a conference in Las Vegas.

During the E2 appearance, Biden encouraged Mitt Romney to run for Senate in 2018, which caused the audience to cheer.

There have been suggestions that Romney may seek Sen. Orrin Hatch’s seat in Utah if he chooses not to run for reelection. Romney has not denied any intention to run.

As to Biden’s political aspirations, his shots at Hillary and creation of a political action committee suggest he may be gearing up for a 2020 presidential run.

"She's stealing my act," declared Mrs Clinton, "I'm the victim, the wronged party, not her"

It was the DNC.

"I inherited NOTHING!!!!" (Even though Donna "I'm A Christian" Brazille gave her debate questions and Debbie Washerwoman Schultz lost her job for being unfair to Bernie).

Bitter, party of one. Paging Bitter, party of one.

"The Russian ran a campaign against my election."

I know I personally didn't vote for Hillary because Boris and Natasha called me and said Hillary didn't wear clean underwear.

On June 8, Hillary Clinton is scheduled to serve as the Class of 2017 commencement speaker at Medgar Evers College in Brooklyn, New York, where she will also be awarded an honorary degree. The announcement has incited protests from several members of the Haitian community who plan to protest the speech and are pushing the college’s president, Rudy Crew, to rescind the invitation.

“Every time the Clintons get in a bind, they run to the black community to whitewash their tarnished image,” said Komokoda, the Haitian group protesting the speech, in a statement. “After Bill Clinton was impeached for lying under oath in the Monica Lewinsky affair, he brought in Jesse Jackson and a host of black preachers to lead prayers with him at the White House. To divert attention from her ‘deleted emails’ debacle, Hillary had Bill DeBlasio’s wife, Chirlane McCray, bring her to Brownsville, one of the most impoverished neighborhoods in Brooklyn, for a photo op with little black children. When newspaper editorials and cartoons were blasting her for her unending lies and demanding investigations and prosecutions, former New York City mayor David Dinkins brought her out for a keynote speech at his Dinkins Leadership & Public Policy Forum at Columbia University. Today, for her resurrection from a shameful defeat by the last person most reasonable people felt could ever be president of the United States, the dirty work falls to Rudy Crew.”

The Clintons’ role in Haiti has incited immense criticism and has tarnished their relationship with the Haitian community. In 2010, Haiti suffered a massive earthquake. Several NGOs and the United Nations flocked to Haiti to help relief efforts, but their intervention came with several costs. In 2011, UN Peacekeepers caused a massive cholera outbreak that killed at least 9,500 people and sickened 800,000 others. During this time, Bill Clinton served as the United Nations Special Envoy to Haiti while Hillary Clinton served as secretary of state. While the Clinton Foundation has staunchly defended their role in Haiti, their involvement in the country has been far from successful. “Many of the most notable investments the Clintons helped launch, such as the new Marriott in the capital, have primarily benefited wealthy foreigners and the island’s ruling elite, who needed little help to begin with,” wrote Jonathan Katz for Politico in 2015.

Why was this such a big deal? People are so hyper sensitive.

A true trailblazer.

Love her to bits. I remember when she was first lady and she was constantly slapping Republicans left and right. I also remember how she went to China against the government wishes to demand an end to China's female infanticide: "Women's rights are Human Rights." Republicans wanted to destroy her, and she would just brush them off. She had bigger balls than all of them.

Now with Giuliani or Christie (or any possible Trump appointee tbh) I just can't see how they'll not take a shot at her. Republicans will finally have one up on her.

See? We were right not to trust those shifty frau creatures.

A new book about Hillary Clinton’s failed presidential campaign details the moment she realized she lost the race to Donald Trump.

The New York Post published an excerpt from the book Shattered: Inside Hillary Clinton’s Doomed Election Campaign. Part of it reads that Hillary Clinton took her assistant’s phone and “faked a smile with her voice,” congratulating Trump while “suppressing the anger that touched every nerve in her body.”

The night of November 8, Clinton and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, were watching the returns in their suite on the top floor of The Peninsula Hotel in Manhattan.

“Hillary was still surprisingly calm, unable or unwilling to delve into the details of how her dream was turning into a nightmare,” authors Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes write in the book.

“Bill was less reticent. He’d had a sinking feeling that the British vote to leave the European Union had been a harbinger for a kind of screw-it vote in the United States.

“He’d seen the trans-Atlantic phenomenon of populist rage at rallies across the country, and warned friends privately of his misgivings about its effect on Hillary’s chances.

“Now his focus turned back to the international movement he’d seen gathering. ‘It’s like Brexit,’ he lamented. ‘I guess it’s real’.”

Earlier on the book describes campaign manager Robby Mook telling Clinton he doesn’t see how they are going to win. Clinton tells him she understands but was not ready to officially bow out of the race.

“I’m not ready to go give this speech,” Clinton is quoted as saying in the book. Then President Obama personally picked up the phone to call her and tell her to concede.

Trump credited Clinton for being a smart opponent who ran a tough campaign, his phone call with Clinton lasting about a minute, according to the book.

Remember, even Giuliani was peddling that shit.

There really is no getting thru to her is there?

Don't you understand?

[italic]In this extract from her book, Susan Bordo asks how the most qualified candidate ever to run for president lost the seemingly unloseable election

Many books have been written about the way racial differences among feminists both divided and pushed feminist thinking and practice forward over the past several decades. In the 2016 election, however, it was not race but generation that was the dynamic factor among left-leaning women. Women like me, who experienced many cultural battles in the “gender wars” firsthand – from the first scornful comments that journalists had heaped on “women’s libbers”, to the public shaming of Anita Hill, to the renewed threats to bodily rights that we thought we had won decades earlier – brought to the 2016 campaign a personal knowledge of the fragility of feminist accomplishments and an identification with Hillary that was deeper and longer than any current headlines.

We may have winced – as I did – when Madeleine Albright quoted a coffee-cup version of feminism or Hillary said “deal me in”. But we understood that behind every seeming appeal to “sisterhood” was the history of what was indeed a revolution – and one that was far from over. We knew the role Hillary had played in that revolution, and the price she had paid for it. Many of us, too, had followed Clinton through the course of her public career, had read her autobiography, and knew very well that the accusation that she had come to issues concerning racial and economic justice late and “for political purposes” was among the most extraordinary fabrications of the campaign.

Many younger women, on the other hand – no less feminist, no less committed to gender equality – had formed their ideas about “the Clintons”, as Savannah Barker reminds us, in the shadow of 20 years of relentless personal and political attacks. Few of them – as I know from decades of teaching courses on feminism, gender issues, and the social movements of the 60s – were aware of the “living history” (to borrow Hillary’s phrase) that shaped the woman herself.

These young women weren’t around when the GOP, appalled that liberals like the Clintons had somehow grabbed political power, began a series of witchhunts that have never ended. (Hillary was correct: it has been a “vast rightwing conspiracy”, from the Spectator magazine’s “Arkansas Project”, designed specifically to take Bill Clinton down, to Kenneth Starr’s relentless digging into Bill’s private life, to the Benghazi and email investigations.)

[quote] I knew what one of my students meant when I asked her how millennial feminists saw Hillary and she said 'a white lady'

They hadn’t experienced a decade of culture wars in which feminists’ efforts to bring histories of gender and race struggle into the educational curriculum were reduced to a species of political correctness. They didn’t witness the complicated story of how the 1994 crime bill came to be passed or the origins of the “super-predator” label (not coined by Hillary and not referring to black youth, but rather to powerful, older drug dealers).

DB forwarded debate questions to Hillary and Hillary of course refused them...no wait!!

Nice while it lasted, I guess.

Apparently he was afraid her legacy would overshadow his.

I mean, when you've got a gifted actor running around who looks like he was separated at birth from a guy who's a real-life political caricature, what's stopping Hollywood her?

God knows, the black comedy practically writes itself -- there's way more satirical potential here than in Wag the Dog.

She looked very stylish and classy at the inauguration.

Among the many extraordinary headwinds that popular vote winner Hillary Clinton faced during the 2016 presidential election was a hostile corporate media who abetted the baseless destruction of her character. During CNN's pre-inauguration coverage, that hostility manifested itself in an unvarnished moment that neatly summed it up.

Can these post titles become any more pathetic ?

Remember when everyone thought she was crazy because James Woods said she stalked hi? Then they thought, "Well, maybe James Woods is the crazy one." Well, now, it seems we were right the first time.

She will: 1) get her due humiliation for daring to be mean to him; and 2) ensure that no bombs go off on the platform.

GREAT NEWS! Inspector General of DOJ is investigating the handling of Hillary Clintons campaign by Jim Comey, NYC FBI. Not only will Comey's 11 th hour, unprecedented and disgusting announcement of a "new investigation" into Abedens computer will be investigated, but also into all actions of the FBI. The shitbag NYC agents, group of long time Clinton Hunters - going back30 years of Nothing Burgers.

Also investigated will be the push by NYC FBI agents to seek subpoenas 2 weeks before the election to investigate the Clinton Foundation. These warrants were refused as they were based on the thoroughly debunked, Steve Bannon Conspiracy theory book Clinton Cash.

I really look forward to seeing the NYC office shitcanned - and Comey too. FYI Racist pile of shit Jeff Sessions, as AG cannot terminate this investigation.... OVER DUE JUSTICE.

Good job, guys!

Celebrity chef and television host Anthony Bourdain late Wednesday blasted Hillary Clinton’s response to the scandal engulfing her longtime donor, producer Harvey Weinstein, who has been accused of sexually assaulting and harassing dozens of women.

Clinton earlier in the day had sat for an interview with CNN’s Fareed Zakaria as part of her book-promotion tour — and talk of course turned to Weinstein. The former Democratic presidential candidate declared herself “appalled” by the allegations against him. “It was something that was just intolerable in every way,” she said. “And, you know, like so many people who’ve come forward and spoken out, this was a different side of a person who I and many others had known in the past.”

But her condemnation of Weinstein, who hosted fundraisers for Clinton and for President Barack Obama in addition to giving to many Democratic pols, wasn’t enough for some viewers. Bourdain — whose girlfriend, Asia Argento, accused Weinstein of sexually assaulting her — tweeted a series of criticisms.

I just finished watching the third season of The Affair. I know many agree it's gone steadily downhill since it's stellar first season, but for me, it's still completely worth it because of Tierney. First I loved her on Newsradio, and then I was about to give up on ER when she came on as a regular and felt she rejuvenated the show.

She's also been great in a few independent movies. Despite working constantly, I'm somewhat surprised she hasn't had a bigger career.

Also, as she gets older, she uncannily resembles Patty Duke more and more, both facially and in mannerisms.

Any other fans?

In other words the shitstirring famewhore has been kicked out on her ass. With her Mail Online column now gone and also being dismissed from her LBC phone-in she only has Twitter...what's that? She has deleted all her posts....Oh dear.

LOS ANGELES — Authorities say singer Patricia "Bonnie" Pointer of the Pointer Sisters has been arrested for investigation of possessing rock cocaine.

Sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore says the 61-year-old singer was arrested Friday in South Los Angeles after the car she was riding in was pulled over for a mechanical malfunction.

Deputies say she was released after posting $10,000 bail.

In a statement issued through her manager Robert Watson, Pointer thanked the public for their support and prayers.

Watson declined comment on the arrest.

As a fan of '60s pop music I'm finding these shows or clips of them on youtube and was wondering if anyone here has memories of them to share.

American Bandstand is disappointing. If you didn't like pop music, why go to these shows? Maybe they should have auditioned a few people to see if they could dance before they broadcast them on national TV, with their wooden dancing and miserable faces and the whole show seems stiff and totally unspontaneous.

But a lot of the shows seem like good fun and I love the dancers, especially.

Also...it would be great to hear about local TV pop shows. I believe there were a lot of local ones too.

What did that twerp say about me!!!!!!!!!!!

Chris Cuomo, Boris Sanchez, Van Jones, and Matthew Rosenberg are fucking hot, not only for their physical appearances but their intelligence and wit as well. I will also add new DL Superstar Michael Avenatti to that list as CNN marked his recent Cable debut and he's been frequently appearing on most CNN shows.

Detective drama set in contemporary Wyoming. Is it any good? What say the gays?

Am considering watching it on Netflix.

Has Susan Sarandon lost friends over Hillary Clinton?

“No. My friends have a right to their opinions. It’s disappointing but that’s their business. It’s like in the lead-up to Vietnam, and then later they say: ‘You were right.’ Or strangely, some of my gay friends were like: ‘Oh, I just feel bad for [Clinton]. And I said: ‘She’s not authentic. She’s been terrible to gay people for the longest time. She’s an opportunist.’ And then I’m like: ‘OK, let’s not talk about it any more.’”

So what does DL think of this couple? They post a lot of charity stuff like helping the homeless, planting trees, finding mentors for gay kids. They also have recently promoted a lot of products. Some think they are attractive and nice and haters are just going to hate. Others say they seem fake and everything seems too forced and too perfect.

What are your thoughts?

Could DL please become more ... of a walled garden?

Only paid, registered accounts may post, and each poster has a chosen and permanent and unalterable ID/handle/name;

Registration consists of email, password, credit card.

Accounts may be temporarily banned (1-2 weeks) from posting for trolling. Subscriber is still billed. If the temporarily banned account holder tries to cancel his account and re-register, they have to use a different a email address, handle, and credit card.

I think it would really improve things. We'd learn so much more from each other, and have less needless nonsense noise.

I'd pay up to $5/month. Even with ads (like the New York Times).

Maybe try it on a limited basis? Or as part of a special section accessible only to those who comply (with the special section consisting of... the best threads as chosen by Muriel?)?

Dating 20 year old, religiously attending Coachella as if he were still in his 20, hanging out with his self-called Pussy Posse... is he emotionally stunted or what?

Whhhhhy? Whyyyyyyyy?

Was she very famous ? Was she a major teen idol, the like of Natalie Wood's magnitude ? Were people accross the nation fangirling over her ? What should I see ? What was her bravura piece ? I only saw her in 'looking for mr. Goodbar'. She was beautiful and very believable, but oscar worthy I don't know....do tell please

Post-partum? Anyone creative have this experience too?

LGB No T

Thanks Muriel.

What shows are you bingeing on these days?

Just finished "Sneaky Pete" on Amazon, It was very good. Not stellar, but definitely very good and worth the time. Ribisi is great, ditto Martindale and Cranston.

What else is good, esp on Amazon, Hulu, Netflix, HBO, SHO?

I said “without comment.”

Sarandon unapologetically maintains that the Grifter is a better President than Clinton would have been. She appears to be on a deeply Irrational slide in a recent Guardian interview, refusing to back down touting her vote for Russian Loving Jill Stein (also suspected of being a Manafort/Russian plant to divide Dems).

She likes to tout the Divine Ms. Bette Davis as her heroic political role model. Unfortunetly for Susan, today WaPo published this article about Hollywoods 1940’s #Resistance to neo Fascist GOP ascension to power. Ms Davis was one of many that spoke against GOP policies and attacks on American civil rights, including economic oppression of working Americans. The one thing Ms Davis would have abhorred above all - would have been the lamentably idiotic position that Sarandon champions daily.

Time to back off Susan - before someone bigger than me makes this a very public issue. Your career is still happening, you dont need the humiliation. Bad enough that Katha Pollitt thinks you are just another stupid person.

I did a search you bitches so please spare the the worse than Hitler thing if this is a duplicate.

Russian trolls trying to divide us apparently.

One thing we are unanimous about is our hated of Sarandon

GURL BYE

I will occassionally pick up a vintage one at the thrift shop and read it out of curiosity, but I don't understand who really ever bought them.

Does anyone here ever read them for real?

Twitter jeered actress Susan Sarandon during Sunday’s Golden Globes ceremony that cheered female empowerment amid Hollywood’s sexual misconduct scandal. Her praise for “all these women standing up for each other” revived hard feelings, because Sarandon supported Bernie Sanders over Hillary Clinton in the Democratic race for president, then voted for third-party candidate Jill Stein instead of Clinton in the general election against Donald Trump.

"Boy that was infuriating when Susan Sarandon stood there championing women while she did everything she could to sabotage Hillary"

Has drug issues that he wants to deal with.

Good for him.

I wonder how pissed Trixie is, now that they have their new TV show.

I had read Susan Sarandon had done two soap operas when she first moved to New York, but never saw any photographs of her in them, or anything.

But there's an episode of A WORLD APART on youtube! Interesting.

Watch

But not Susan Sarandon?

Discuss

I felt it was time..

This kind, please. What is the (sub-) genre?

(...) So, in gratitude, Susan Sarandon tweeted, “Thank you African Americans in Alabama who organized and fought their way to the polls despite so much voter suppression. Thank you Selma once again. Respect.”

The backlash started almost immediately.

(...) A recent interview with The Guardian concluded, “Liberals in the U.S., it seems, can summon more hatred for Sarandon right now than they can for Paul Ryan. Most infuriating of all, to her critics, is that she won’t admit her error.”

In the interview, Susan Sarandon said, “It’s very flattering to think that I, on my own, cost the election. That my little voice was the deciding factor.”

And regarding Clinton, she says, “I did think she was very, very dangerous. We would still be fracking, we would be at war [if she was president]. It wouldn’t be much smoother. Look what happened under Obama that we didn’t notice.”

I’m about to crack open JAMAICA INN by Daphne DuMaurier, and am reading a story a day from GREAT DREAM OF HEAVEN by Sam Sheppard!

According to Diana Davison, aka Feminism LOL on YouTube (who is best known for her dry delivery of rape jokes and continuously remarking "it's been two hours and I haven't been raped yet!") trans is a mental illness. It goes without saying, DL will agree with her 100%.

Incidentally, she's an out and proud bisexual.

Start Reading!

She's on All In With Chris Hayes tonight to talk about the election and how Bernie should have won because people were passionate about him and not about Hillary. Chris tells her people fucked themselves to spite their nose and ended up with Trump.

Susan yells at Chris, "Can you look me in the eye and tell me you were doing your job covering everything?!"

Chris yells back, "Yes, I can look you directly in the eye!"

Afterwards, Rachel Madcow said she was sweating just watching that interview. Chris said he really was 😅

I have a very bad case. It's almost always when I have to interact with a good looking straight man or a woman showing a lot of cleavage. I read it's part if having a social anxiety disorder. It's very embarrassing. I'm already on a lot of meds and don't want to take more. I guess I just have to live with it.

Got to say it...CUNT!

Susan Sarandon‘s Twitter feud with Debra Messing continues. The actress likened the Will & Grace star to President Trump on Monday’s Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, causing an audible response from the audience.

“She’s not very well informed and so sometimes she gets in areas that she really hasn’t thought through, maybe? She’s Trumpian a little bit like that,” Sarandon told host Andy Cohen. “So, I don’t have anything against her personally. I just sometimes I have to say, ‘But you don’t have the information.'”

The stars have been exchanging barbs over social media since last year’s presidential campaign, when Messing criticized Sarandon for suggesting a “Trump prezcy wud b better 4 the country thn Hillary.” Sarandon later clarified that she “would never support Trump,” but was quick on the defense.

“For those passionate, principled independents & first-time voters who would not be voting, if it weren’t for Sanders & whose interests HC doesn’t represent, it is a dilemma,” Sarandon tweeted.

Sarandon told Cohen the feud has been confined to Twitter. “I’m a huge Rangers fan and I’ve been to a couple of games where she’s been there and she never says anything to me in person,” she said.

Watch Sarandon on WWHL in the clip and read their tweets above.

Why do think people have become so unhappy?

My god, this tedious cunt.

Cunt is at it again.

Or spat on? God, I hope so.

Time to get on the case, DL sleuths. Could the BILL TAYLOR saga be all too tragically true?

Susan Sarandon: ‘I thought Hillary was very dangerous. If she'd won, we'd be at war’

Once the bete noire of the right, now the actor finds herself even more hated by the left for refusing to support Hillary Clinton against Donald Trump. She talks about Hollywood sexism, female empowerment and playing Bette Davis

While everyone is piling on The New York Times—and rightly so—for normalizing Nazis over the weekend, The Guardian dedicated a pile of pixels to normalizing unaccountable privilege.

Making your bed sets you up for success, says former Navy SEAL Admiral William McRaven.

It's so trans-teens can come out to their parents.

Are there any gentlemen left ?

I’m a bisexual female and as a matter of course I get somewhat nauseated in the days following going out on dates with men. Doesn’t matter who they are or how long I’ve known them or how much I like them (or don’t; I end up feeling unwell days after straight-date no matter what. I don’t know what it means yet, but I have inklings that it’s to do with my discomfort with my sexuality -maybe orientation (I have not yet this issue dating women, just butterflies) or possibly expression & confidence & perception (I never dated as a teen/college kid so have no experience, and my personality changes around others too much). I don’t go out or socialise much at all, partly because of this strange abhorrent allergic reaction I seem to have to men I’m spending quality time with 1-1. I’m halfway to just limiting my circle to lesbian clubs tbh.

Then again, I don’t want to discount the fact that that feelings like this can be a more specific alarm bell. This guy I just saw yesterday was the one of the most thoughtful and polite men I have ever been out with but something about him is making my body feel wrong. Over dinner he revealed to me he’s an army Vet who had served in Afghanistan, as well as other frightening shit to do with his current occupation, and tbh thisnhaa fucking thrown me for loop and makes me physically unnerved no matter how kind the recounting (he seems to be a pacifist with some criticism of armed forces). Ever since yesterday I have experienced my typical ‘sickness’ and my stomach has been roiling, but more than that my vision is blurry and my mouth is bone-dry. I also have this ooky shaky feeling behind my sternum like I’m getting the flu, and I’m ravenously hungry despite eating. I wonder if I let my psychic guard down too much or something, and now I’m experiencing something unresolved on his wavelength that it not meant for me.

I’m mindful that this reaction could still be sexuality confusion, like the way Sara Gilbert used to get depressive symptoms after making out with guys...but I still feel that is an unsatisfactory conclusion. I’m still attracted to men physically on occasion and want to touch them or get close to them yet my body screams the contrary. Even though this particular man has not directly redflagged or exposed any awful truth verbally or physically to me (he even smells attractive to me, which is a big tell women use), the fact is that MY insides are for some reason unhappy about his presence and do not trust him. So I feel I have to go with the gut, and have put some distance between us via text. Maybe my body is alert to the fact that he wants to fuck/run (he’s visiting my town for a week only) hence the ‘morning sickness’ sensation?

Idk, this is exhausting & embarrassing and I really hate it but I have to ask for help as I’m so unsure. Someone please explain just what is wrong with me?

She's laying kinda low.

The pocket Latino is the best looking.

Is there anything he can't do? And is that why I kind of hate this gay boy? I sure don't like the crazy-Mom vibe he's inherited.

The domino effect.

I’m going back to Allentown.

'not everyone who menstruates is a woman', claim the UK based company.

I can surmise a few reasons for this perhaps.

1. They have no real sense of self 2. They suffer from magical thinking 3. They love to mimic

Any thing else?

Do Trans teens/adults commit suicide in large numbers? Or do more people who are bisexual, gay/lesbian, and heterosexual, but not Trans kill themselves?

I'm asking since I read this sad article, may she rest in peace.

"Apart from corporate greed, I wouldn't be surprised if this desire to prevent people like me to realize who we are is a motivating factor in the FCC’s decision to end net neutrality."

There is a bunch of them, you all know them, I'm sure. Yet I have a distinct impression that some people are purposefully behaving or dressing in a way that makes them closer to those stereotypes. How many times have you seen a regular dude come out of the closet and in a month he is limp wristed, obsessed with fashion and talks like he's trying to get the title of the gayest gay who ever gayed.

Sexuality does not affect any other area of your life. You don't look, talk, behave, dress in a certain way because you are gay or bisexual or pansexual or whatever. So why pretend that it does?

To speak about trans incarceration. Of course the dead man can’t be invited to speak and they don’t care what the female rape victim has to say.

OK, let’s talk about “no trans” dating preferences, a recent fixation in sexual politics that often ends up in transphobic and abusive conversations.

( fortunately, homosexuals are fighting against this in the twitter thread...)

Disturbing Decor

Homosexuality is not real. Gay Men are simply in denial of their desire to transition into Women.

His amazing and dramatic life continues....

La Farrow wins!

My Mother grew up literally dirt poor. She felt sorry for famous people, or people who sought fame. I grew up with that culture and internalized it. It means even more to me now as an eldergay than it did in years before. Now that fame seems so important in our culture. Wealth sure has its place, but super wealth does not bring happiness. If you’re not happy as a middle class person, you’re probably just not a happy person.

Happiness is found in good relationships with the folks around you. Once you have a decent income that covers your needs, plus a little, “more” is great, but won’t make you happier.

The desire for fame is the most inexplicable to me, still.

First flag-burning and now this.

Imagine if the roles were reversed and it was a gay student forcing the school to take down the trans flag (as if he could)? The media would have a field day.

So who does this? Erna?

“If my kid can stand up to the bullies in the face of adversity in attempts at living a happier life, I can too.”

Fucking retard.

Two crazy bitches.

Anyone else notice this through the years.

But this can't be, surely? Isn't the received wisdom that all trans are pacifist, innocent victims? I wonder how this evil womyn terrorised the gentle,innocent trans into torture and murder?

Here we go again with Feminism LOL and her blistering vilification of the trans movement.

Some salient points: - The trans movement started with a millionaire, not black transwomen subjected to poverty (oppression olympics anyone?) - LGB = Leave us alone! Trans = Give me things! - Danni Askini like Bruce thinks marriage equality is a trivial because it doesn't benefit trans people - Those with gender identity disorder also suffer from personality disorder like narcissism (surprise!)

Is this Youtuber a resident DL frau? She sounds like every other anti-trans on here! She's unquestionably been perusing the forum.

• Juliet Evancho, 18, said her sister Jackie, 19, is 'singing for our country'

• Juliet, who is transgender, will not attend the inauguration on January 20

• Jackie received backlash after for agreeing to perform at the inauguration

• The girls' parents will not say who they voted for in the election

I have a question- is Caitlynn Jenner the Stacy Dash of the trans community? I'm not sure what the trans call out sell out of one of their own.

There, I've said it. Blue Sky was pure trash and it's hard to believe critics liked it so much (maybe Tony Richardson's death had something to do with it). Jessica was actually enjoyably coquettish in her role but I don't really consider that to be fine acting.

And her Tootsie oscar was hillarious, escpecially since she was completely overshadowed by the rest of the supporting cast which was stellar (Charles Durning, Teri Garr, Bill Murray) and yet she was the only one to get an oscar.

She's certainly not a bad actress but every single one of her roles could have been easily played by dozens of other actresses. Without her looks in her prime nobody would give a damn about her.

This would explain the SJW genderless , queer who live in their own reality, and seem to not have any self-awareness, as well as any empathy And complete self-centeredness .

Both he and his wife are gay they have children but they support trans children and do not support gay rights. Should I?

Doctors in the UK have been banned from referring to pregnant women as 'women' by the British Medical Council. They have to call them 'pregnant people' to avoid upsetting the trans community.

Political correctness gone BERSERK.

I'm constantly seeing this and it doesn't make sense. What does the bathroom issue have to do with religious bullshit? To be honest I don't agree with the trans on a lot of things. But to blame them for the right's Christian agenda? I don't get it. Even without the trans in play, the right would STILL come for us. That's the truth.

On the View:

This was a 70 minute, comprehensive interview of her life and career. Mankiewicz analyzed everything EXCEPT Mommie Dearest. It would seem she nixed this topic. She was very good in this appearance, but ruined her credibility and ultimately her legacy by continuing to honestly discuss this role or to acknowledge its impact on her career.

Gays no longer matter. The MSM is abandoning us.

I am not anti trans but I've noticed a theme with most of the trans gendered people I've known or know of. They hang out with trash. In some cases it's because they're trashy but I've known trans people who I genuinely liked who came from normal backgrounds and were accepted by their families but started hanging out with meth addicts, hookers and skanks. I know a trans woman from high school who lives in one of those old run down hotels and hangs out with old alcoholics on welfare and she had more opportunities in life than I had! Do they feel so far removed from society that they start to think they belong with these people? It's really sad.

Is all things LGBT advisor to the GOP Caitlyn Jenner happy, sad, indifferent?

Delusional video posted below.

It's gone so far beyond parody I don't know how they can think up new ways to be offended.

Don't use a male pronoun

It didn't matter that the workshop was willing to use nonsense words like "cis". It didn't matter that they were willing to entertain transbians and their delusions. The goal was always to shut down one more lesbian space.

"The Disappearing L - LESBIANS Rise Up! Note: This event has been cancelled" speaks for itself.

long live Chiyo Miyako

Because a penis is totally female.

That didn't take long.

Because the other thread was written by a right wing troll. It's interesting what he says, but to me it's more interesting the methods the British interviewer goes to "monsterpaint" him.

---

My first introduction to Jordan B. Peterson, a University of Toronto clinical psychologist, came by way of an interview that began trending on social media last week. Peterson was pressed by the British journalist Cathy Newman to explain several of his controversial views. But what struck me, far more than any position he took, was the method his interviewer employed. It was the most prominent, striking example I’ve seen yet of an unfortunate trend in modern communication.

First, a person says something. Then, another person restates what they purportedly said so as to make it seem as if their view is as offensive, hostile, or absurd.

Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, and various Fox News hosts all feature and reward this rhetorical technique. And the Peterson interview has so many moments of this kind that each successive example calls attention to itself until the attentive viewer can’t help but wonder what drives the interviewer to keep inflating the nature of Peterson’s claims, instead of addressing what he actually said.

This isn’t meant as a global condemnation of this interviewer’s quality or past work. As with her subject, I haven’t seen enough of it to render any overall judgment—and it is sometimes useful to respond to an evasive subject with an unusually blunt restatement of their views to draw them out or to force them to clarify their ideas.

Perhaps she has used that tactic to good effect elsewhere. (And the online attacks to which she’s been subjected are abhorrent assaults on decency by people who are perpetrating misbehavior orders of magnitude worse than hers.)

But in the interview, Newman relies on this technique to a remarkable extent, making it a useful illustration of a much broader pernicious trend. Peterson was not evasive or unwilling to be clear about his meaning. And Newman’s exaggerated restatements of his views mostly led viewers astray, not closer to the truth.

(see the link for the examples, they are pretty blatantly clear)

I'm going to sign every post with this.

In their new pussies?

Asking for a friend.

It's in the Times. I can't add the link because it has too many characters.

Justin Trudeau has made it illegal to discriminate based on gender identity or expression, yet refuses to comment on equalizing age of consent (it's now 16 for vaginal sex and 18 for anal sex) which he promised to do or ending the blood donor ban for men who have sex with men.

I like Trudeau, I'm not one of the paid shills from Rebel Media, but at the same time it pisses me off that Trudeau is all about the trans while ignoring the gays. The truth is he has not kept the promises he made before being elected.

She made movies during Hollywood's Golden Era and endured a scandal concerning her husband which nearly wiped out her career.

She found her second wind in the mid 1960's as the star of the famous gothic-horror soap opera, Dark Shadows, which revived interest in her.

She passed away in 1990 at the age of 80. What are your thoughts on Joan Bennett?

Her teeth are going to come flying out of her head!

WTF?

What a dump.

Any questions?

Happy New Year, bitch!

Just like the one they did with Debbie and Carrie.

Follow Faye around in all her crazy glory, get her to talk trash, open up about her childhood, and dish, dish, dish.

A sensitive, non-antagonizing director could pull it off. Why has no one tried so far? Time is running out.

Faye was just 26 and Warren was 29 when they took on the roles of the now infamous Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow, who cut a bloody swathe robbing banks in Depression-era American.

The film's ending, in which the two die in a hail of bullets, became iconic as 'one of the bloodiest death scenes in cinematic history,' according to The New York Times in August 2015.

Who's face will look like it's been hit by a truck more?

The Faye Dunaway thread had me thinking. She hates the discussion of "Mommie Dearest." What other terrible performance could you bring up to annoy her? I'll go first, "I loved you in 'Supergirl!"

I keep putting off reading the book, but I've been told it's a good, campy soap and anyone with an Asian (or ethnic) background can relate.

Will this be our new Joy Luck Club? Will this film usher in more Asian representation in the media?

She got the last laugh on all of you!

Not your first time at the rodeo you two but you managed it anyway! Let's continue!

My jaw is agape

Faye "demanded"

I'm neg and want to stay that way. But I went on a date with a guy who is poz but awfully sweet. We are planning to 'go all the way' but I'm a bit apprehensive. I know not to do ANY barebacking, and kissing is more than fine (no bleeding gums or cuts in the mouth). But how about sucking cock? What's the consensus?

Apparently Ms. Dunaway was not only at the post-show parties, she was claiming responsibility.

As Baja resumes bullfighting, Mexicans debate: Is it an art form or a cruel, outdated ritual?

Polls show that roughly 80% of Baja Californians oppose it. At issue, from the state's point of view, is the economic draw of bullfights, which pull in Mexicans from surrounding regions and Americans who cross the border.

What about Beatty? I don't remember seeing them.

(and didn't she sound a little funny? why was that?)

Haven't seen anything posted in along time...

So just what have them Winchester Boys been up to?

First off, Happy Birthday Jensen. The big lug turns the big 4 - 0 today! I hope they don't go out to dinner cause you just know Jared will make the waitstaff's lives a living hell.

You never hear much about their wives. Do Danneel and Genevieve feel like they hit the lotto? Do they ever covet each other's husband?

How does Misha fit into all this?

Whose performance deserves or deserved the prizes? Whose performance truly speaks to those elected few who know Joan Crawford like the back of their hands? Which gets or received the best reviews?

For those who are obsessed with this question, and are crowding out everyone else on the "Feud" watching threads: this is now the place to really let loose.
