The FOX 2 Detroit newsroom was turned upside down when one of their staffers committed suicide Opens a New Window. .

RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned 35-year-old meteorologist, Jessica Starr Opens a New Window. , killed herself by “hanging” on Wednesday night.

According to the Oakland Medical Examiner, Starr’s “cause of death is hanging and manner of death by suicide.”

“My colleague went out there last night, it was just a gruesome scene,” a spokesperson for the medical examiner told Radar. “It’s just very sad.”

As Radar previously reported, her distraught coworkers were the first to share the news.

“Our hearts are broken. Last night we were informed our Jessica Starr took her life,” Morning anchor Amy Andrews wrote on Twitter along with a photo she shared of her with Starr. “Her Fox 2 family is in deep shock and cannot believe such a wonderful, bright and intelligent woman is gone. Keep her family in your prayers in the coming days as we all deal with our grief.”

Another Fox 2 staffer, Roop Raj, echoed her sentiment. “I send my deepest sympathies to her family. Our hometown girl will always be remembered fondly,” he tweeted.

The Michigan native had been recovering from Lasik eye surgery since October and took to social media in the last few months to reveal that the recovery process was painful.

On her Facebook page on November 13, she posted a video admitting that she was “struggling a little bit” after taking four weeks off post-surgery.

Asking viewers advice, she reported blurred vision and said she was “trying to stay strong.”

Starr is survived by her two young children and husband.

Actress and longtime partner of Clint Eastwood, Sondra Locke Anderson, has died, RadarOnline.com can exclusively confirm.

According to her death certificate exclusively obtained from Los Angeles Department of Public Health, her immediate cause of death was cardiac arrest due to breast and bone cancer, which she had been battling for three years.

Locke passed away on November 3, 2018 at 74 years old.

She was laid to rest at Pierce Brothers Westwood Village Memorial Park & Mortuary.

Locke was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role in the 1968 film, The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter.

She went on to star in films Sudden Impact, The Gauntlet, and Willard.

Locke dated Eastwood for over 13 years when they first met on the set of the film The Outlaw Josey Wales in 1972.

After their relationship came to a halt, Locke filed a palimony suit in 1989 against Eastwood. She later agreed to drop the suit when Eastwood set up a $1.5 million deal with Warner Bros. for her to develop films.

In 1990, Locke beat breast cancer after undergoing a double mastectomy.

She is survived by her husband, fellow actor Gordon Anderson.

When Amanda Davidson, a 42-year-old Los Angeles-based artist and writer, welcomed her firstborn child in December — a boy named Felix — with her partner Isaac Schankler, 39, a composer, she chafed at the assumptions the medical staff members made about how the pair wanted to identify themselves as parents.

“‘Hi, Mommy! Where’s Daddy? Mommy needs to know this, but so does Daddy,’” she said with a big laugh. The binary clashed so much with how the couple sees themselves and exists in the world — she’s queer-identified, and her partner goes by pronouns they/their/them and uses the gender-neutral title Mx. — she refrained from calling herself anything vis-à-vis Felix for the first two weeks of his life.

She eventually settled on Mama. “I was racking my brain for a mama-alternate, but it feels right for the moment,” she said, adding that in her universe, “identity wiggles around,” and she’s open to other possibilities.

Nothing has worked.

President Trump won praise from some gay Americans for being the first Republican nominee to acknowledge gay Americans in his party acceptance speech.

While promising to be tough on terrorists in 2016, Trump said: “As your president, I will do everything in my power to protect our LGBT citizens from the violence and oppression of a hateful foreign ideology. To protect us from terrorism, we need to focus on three things.”

But overall, the Republican Party has failed to win the support of LGBT Americans for years, in part because of its positions on same-sex marriage and related issues. And since Trump entered the White House, he has advocated many policies viewed as anti-LGBT.

The GOP’s lack of popularity with gay Americans was no exception in 2018. The “Rainbow Wave” saw a record-breaking number of LGBT Americans elected thanks to the support of Democrats.

But in his farewell speech on the floor of the Senate, Sen. Orrin G. Hatch (R-Utah), a conservative Christian and Mormon, said that this does not have to be the case.

Hatch called on his party members to find some common ground toward advocating for the best interests of those who prioritize religious liberty and those who fight for LGBT rights.

Hatch said Wednesday:

“Nowhere is the pluralist approach more needed than in the fraught relationship between religious liberty and LGBTQ rights. . . . Religious liberty is a fundamental freedom. It deserve the very highest protection our country can provide. At the same time, it’s also important to account of other interests as well — especially those of our LGBTQ brothers and sisters. Pluralism shows us a better way. It shows us that protecting religious liberty and preserving the rights of LGBTQ individuals are not mutually exclusive. I believe we can find substantial common ground on these issues that will enable us to both safeguard the ability of religious individuals to live their faith and protect LGBTQ individuals from invidious discrimination.”

Hatch pointed to the passage of the “Utah Compromise,” a bipartisan anti-discrimination law that he said strengthened religious freedom and protected LGBT Americans from discrimination, and argued that it could be replicated at the federal level and be a unifying piece of legislation that honors the diversity of Americans.

But it is not clear that the base of Hatch’s party is as interested in finding common ground between conservative Christians and LGBT Americans as the retiring lawmaker is.

The GOP has been home to white evangelicals since the election of President Ronald Reagan. And in addition to winning white evangelicals, Trump won the support of most white Protestant Christians and white Catholics. No group supports the GOP more than white evangelicals, as the 2018 midterm election exit polls showed. And no group is less supportive of same-sex marriage and the advancement of LGBT rights than white evangelicals, according to the Public Religion and Research Institute.

The number of Republicans overall who are sympathetic to the challenges gay Americans face — as Hatch noted, there is no federal legislation protecting Americans from discrimination based on sexual orientation — may not be significant enough to heed Hatch’s request.

But as acceptance of LGBT Americans becomes more prevalent — especially among millennials, the youngest generation of voters — the push to have Republicans, including conservative Christians, become more supportive of gay rights could pick up speed. The fact that the longest-serving Republican senator in U.S. history devoted part of his final address to the upper chamber to the issue could suggest that some older conservative lawmakers think the next generation of leaders could right the wrongs of their elders.

So Brian has been around doing theater and small films but in "Sense8" he has his biggest role yet so I figured I would start a thread on him. I'll let people tell their own gossip but apparently he was well known in New York circles as being a regular on Grindr.

He is a good-lucking guy, and he comes off as very believably straight in Sense8, definitely one of the gay actors who is able to play the straight leading man.

I always think it's a sign of phoniness. That it manufactured. Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman use to do it all the time. Why do celebrities always think people buy into that fabrication.

Even since the Craigslist personal section was shut down, there has been an influx of MTF tranny whores on Grindr. You can tell what their up to by their use of the word “generous” and the 🌹 emoji.

Since I don’t want to see their smirking filtered faces, so filtered that they don’t even resemble anyone human, let alone an actual women, I report them to Grindr for prostitution and I have my first cup of coffee. And their trans whore profiles are gone by lunchtime

(Bloomberg) -- Maria Butina pleaded guilty to acting as an undeclared Russian agent in the U.S. and agreed to cooperate with prosecutors.

Butina operated as a Kremlin agent as she befriended National Rifle Association leaders and influential conservatives, she admitted Thursday in federal court in Washington.

Butina, 30, was arrested in July. While in the U.S. starting in 2015, she was actually working to advance Russia’s interests, reporting regularly to a senior Russian official, according to her guilty plea.

She faces a maximum of five years in prison, but she won’t be sentenced immediately. Her cooperation could lead to a reduced sentence.

The NRA didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. The Russian Foreign Ministry said earlier Thursday that any decision Butina took to help free her from detention in the U.S. would be supported by Russia.

The charges were filed by the Justice Department’s national security unit and U.S. prosecutors in Washington, rather than by Special Counsel Robert Mueller, who is investigating Russian influence in the election.

As part of the plea agreement, Butina may provide information about Paul Erickson, her onetime boyfriend. Erickson matches the description of a man referred to as “U.S. Person 1” in Butina’s charging documents. Erickson connected her with influential Republicans and wrote in a message that he had been involved “in securing a VERY private line of communication between the Kremlin” and key officials of the NRA, prosecutors said.

Erickson has visited Butina in jail several times this year, according to her attorney, Robert Driscoll. Bill Hurd, Erickson’s lawyer, said his client is “a good American” who “has never done anything to hurt our country and never would.”

Her admission added to the drumbeat of developments in investigations related to the 2016 presidential election, with indications that prosecutors are receiving information from several people close to President Donald Trump.

This week, Trump’s longtime fixer was sentenced to three years in prison and said he’d assist prosecutors, and the president’s former national security adviser acknowledged he’d sat for 19 interviews with prosecutors and provided thousands of pages of documents. A tabloid publisher with ties to Trump is cooperating, too, after admitting to federal investigators in New York that its CEO talked to people on Trump’s nascent campaign about buying and burying damaging stories that could damage the candidate.

Russia says its spy agencies had no knowledge of Butina or her activities.

“When I heard something was going on around her, for a start I asked the heads of our secret services, ‘Who is she?’ Nobody knows anything about her,” President Vladimir Putin said in a televised appearance in Moscow on Tuesday, the day after Butina said in a filing she wanted to change her plea.

Butina traveled to the U.S. in 2015 and entered the U.S. on a student visa in 2016 to study at American University in Washington. She reported to Alexander Torshin, the former deputy chairman of Russia’s central bank, court documents show.

Torshin accompanied Butina to a variety of conservative political events. In 2015 and 2016, the pair attended at least one NRA conference and a National Prayer Breakfast, the filings say. At one conference, they met with Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker. Butina also attended Walker’s announcement that he was running for president.

At a town-hall-style event in Las Vegas in 2015, Butina asked candidate Trump whether he would improve the U.S. relationship with Russia. Trump said he would.

Butina, who’d started an NRA-like group in Russia called the Right to Bear Arms, was already a fixture in the American gun-rights community. NRA members traveled to Russia in 2013 to attend an event she organized. Among the attendees were Torshin and David Keene, then president of the NRA.

If true, this is sad.

Found it on Craigslist, an old sculpture. Paid $100 which is what the seller was asking.

I sold it this morning to an art dealer for $2000.

I should feel guilty and normally I do feel guilty about anything and everything, but I really need the money after a family situation drained all my savings.

I'm sure the seller could have used the money too. I normally tell people when they have something under priced and pay more leaving room for me to make money too, but lately I've been very mercenary and low balling people to get things as cheaply as possible.

BUDAPEST - The writers of the upcoming Netflix original series The Witcher expressed frustration upon receiving notes from the critically endangered specimens of Jersey Zoo (formerly Durrell Wildlife Park). The specimens, who have script approval, returned the scripts to the writers room with margins filled with the usual continuity and budget notes; however, each scene also had a sticky note instructing the writers to “find some way to have him do this scene without pants.”

Further confusion hit the writers’ room when another script revision arrived from Netflix headquarters, this one with frayed and bitten pages, scratch marks and feces smeared pages. Finally it was discovered that the Hungarian interns had made a mistake, and that the feces-smeared copy was the one from the Jersey Zoo, and the copy with with the copious pantless notes was from Netflix.

A video that shows police officers trying to remove a woman’s 1-year-old son from her grasp as they arrested her in a Brooklyn food stamp office ignited a fury on social media and prompted calls on Sunday for an explanation from the police. A Facebook user who uploaded the video said the police had been called on Friday after the woman, identified by the police as Jazmine Headley, 23, sat on the floor of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program office in Boerum Hill because there were no available chairs.

After a verbal dispute with a security guard, someone called the police, according to Nyashia Ferguson, who posted the video. It begins with Ms. Headley lying on the floor, cradling her son and yelling, “They’re hurting my son! They’re hurting my son!” A female sergeant and three police officers, two of whom appear to be women, surround Ms. Headley and attempt to pull the child away. Then one officer, her back facing the camera, repeatedly yanks the child in an apparent attempt to separate him from his mother.

Everyone was saying "it would get my mind off things - just go and have drinks and have fun" but I don't think it works that way. I am sitting in the room waiting for a call back on one of the issues (I need my laptop to discuss with the person), and now he's not even calling.

It just seems to be everywhere in gay porn and the models seem so into being woke and IDing as pansexual and doing trans porn. I mean I FULLY SUPPORT & RESPECT trans people and their equal rights, but this is GAY porn we are talking about, so I feel comfortable and safe enough saying it's just really annoying. Once I know a model has done trans porn I just can't watch anything he is in.

And add to that the idolization of straight for pay, straight models being openly anti-gay "no homos" chant from the gay4pay sites, the obsession with "conversion porn" and gay men having sex with women on camera and the whole thing just seems like a pile of sexless, exploitative, homophobic puke. Surely there can be one person familiar with the industry to tell me why gay porn is SO FUCKING HOMOPHOBIC.

Can't there just be one site, just the one which features men who are exclusively gay on and off camera. Is that si impossible.

Two groups of Central American migrants made separate marches on the U.S. Consulate in Tijuana Tuesday, demanding that they be processed through the asylum system more quickly and in greater numbers, that deportations be halted and that President Trump either let them into the country or pay them $50,000 each to go home.

On the one-month anniversary of their arrival into Tijuana, caravan members are pressing the United States to take action but they are dwindling in numbers since more than 6,000 first arrived to the city’s shelters.

Approximately 700 have voluntarily returned to their country of origin, 300 have been deported, and 2,500 have applied for humanitarian visas in Mexico, according to Xochtil Castillo, a caravan member who met with Mexican officials Tuesday. The group of unaccounted migrants, about 3,500 are presumed to have either crossed illegally into the United States, moved to other Mexican border cities, or simply fallen through the cracks.

The first group demanding action, numbering about 100, arrived at the U.S. Consulate at about 11 am Tuesday. The migrants said they were asking that the Trump Administration pay them $50,000 each or allow them into the U.S.

A friend of mine went to the Zappos shoe outlet in Kentucky this summer, and was blown away. She got some amazing shoes, and some fantastic designer dresses for very little money. The store is also a clearance outlet for returned Amazon merchandise. She wants to go back— and I would share the ride with her — but it is about 4 hours from us, and we don’t know if she was just lucky to have gone on a good day, or if it is always good. Our fear is to drive the four hours and discover that it is a hit or miss.

She is someone that has always had the back of gay men and included them in her work etc. back in the 80s and 90s when it was super unpopular and she could have lost fans for it.

She did not give a fuck and stood by you all, and now all I ever see from young gays and elder gays is nonsense and hate for her. I hate seeing people trash her to elevate Lady GaGa, who wouldn’t even have a career without Madonna. Madonna paved the way, you show respect, you don’t shit on those that were able to break barriers down so you can do what you do.

People say Madonna used gays for shock value, but wouldn’t that put GaGa in the same category? GaGa did everything and anything for shock value to get people talking, and it always worked.

Madonna did it all first. She deserves RESPECT.

jakejacob01Folding laundry in the bedroom and @teddington_01 tells me to look up. On one of the first cold days since we’ve moved here the evening sky is painted.

There is beauty in life all around us, sometimes directly in front of us. Sometimes I get so distracted with the to-do list, with the routine of life, with accomplishing the goals of the day. Sometimes I’m too busy, and other times I simply refuse to look up, or look for the beauty that’s presenting itself directly in front of my face.

Then there are times when others help me see how fortunate I am. Even more there are times we take spontaneous beautiful moments and allow ourselves to thrive and grow in them.

A moment in time that started out as folding laundry with my husband turned into enjoying a special evening sunset and appreciating where we are and how far we’ve come.

I’m reminded of lyrics from my favorite childhood musical. “Oh, if life were made of moments, even now and then a bad one, but if life were only moments then you'd never know you had one.”

I look forward to those gentle reminders, those little moments. I’m grateful to have people in my life who help open my eyes to the amazing world around me. I’m grateful to be who and where I am today. Tomorrow may be just another day, but who knows what little moment I may discover.

#love #moments #kiss #sunset #husbands

Teresa, Melissa, Dolores and Margaret are back. Siggy is gone. Jacqueline and Caroline are not back either. 2 new full-time housewives join the cast. Danielle wasn't shown in this trailer but I heard a rumor she appears later in the season?

Anyway Teresa and Melissa are back to fighting and cursing at each other. There's some type of physical altercation towards the end of the trailer

He was severe on the spectrum. He was 6 ft and 280 pounds. YIKES!!

Meanwhile, a Washington DC law firm received almost $550,000 from the Republican National Committee to pay legal bills for Trump’s ex-communications director Hope Hicks, who was interviewed by Mueller’s office.

After 1800! replies, its been decided: Connie Francis IS the greatest stars of all time... and not just a glorified lounge singer.

Who was the bottom?

Me? 60 degrees F.

E,ection Day is upon us. Let’s continue here.

Link to Part 7 below.

Just watched an Amazon Prime biopic about crosby, stills, nash and young. Great music and SO juicy! Stills was a "drill sergeant." Crosby was addled and his girlfried died in a car crash. Nash seemed very nice. Young stirred shit and their bassist, Greg Reeves, tried to put spells on his bandmates before the concert.Also Nash left his wife suddenly after many many years of marriage, which seems out of character .

Let's dish about more talented and haunted rockers.

C'mon, join the party! You know you want to....

Can you imagine the shit she's saying about Gaga right now?

Madonna blasts Whitney Houston and Sharon Stone as 'horribly mediocre' in self-pitying 90s letter comparing herself to black musicians who were eclipsed by Elvis

Madonna slammed the careers of Whitney Houston and Sharon Stone in a letter

The letter set to go to auction next week was addressed to actor John Enos

The Material Girl also says 'My outlook on life is black' and wants to find joy again

Stone responded with a 'Dear Madonna' open letter on Facebook

Madonna wrote a letter to actor John Enos in the early 1990s bemoaning what she saw as a lack of success while slamming the 'horribly mediocre' careers of Sharon Stone and Whitney Houston.

In the never seen before letter going up for auction next week, the Material Girl starts off by explaining that she's been in a 'foul mood lately' and is 'so uncomfortable in my own skin right now.' She goes on to say she'd 'rather die' than be 'these women.'

Madonna vents about the backlash she received regarding her recent projects. 'I have made so many people angry that I'm being punished and basically made to be quiet and sit in a corner, whole other less interesting and exciting people are reaping the benefits of the roads I've paved.'

She goes on to write 'Maybe this is what black people felt like when Elvis finally got huge.'

'It's so unequivocally frustrating to read that Whitney Houston has the music career I wish I had and Sharon Stone has the film career I'll never have.'

'Not because I want to be these women because I'd rather die, but they're so horribly mediocre and they're always being held up as paragons of virtue and some sort of measuring stick to humiliate me,' Madonna writes to her paramour at the time.

'Everything I do is so original and unique and I put so much of myself into it like my book and record and it's only brought me heartache and pain.'

The letter was written in the early 1990s, Madonna is likely referring to the 1992 Sex photo book and accompanying Erotica album, some parts of which were banned.

'I don't think I can play the game to be accepted,' she wrote, 'I'm too intelligent, I have too much pride'.

Madonna, who won her first of her seven Grammy Awards in 1992, suggested to Enos that she was 'born in the wrong place and time and probably the wrong sex!'

Towards the end, Madonna darkly refers to her state of mind at the time of penning the letter to Enos,'I feel like I have no career, no family, nothing permanent or tangible,' Madonna wrote.

'My outlook on life is black black black that's why I'm no good for you or anyone else right now. I have to regain my sense of power and my joy for living.'

Sharon Stone released her own letter to Madonna publicly on Facebook Thursday starting it off with 'Dear Madonna,' and continuing 'Know that I am your friend. I have wished to be a rock star in some private moments… have felt as mediocre as you described... I love and adore you; won’t be pitted against you by any invasion of our personal journeys. Sharon'

According to the auction site Madonna's letter to Enos comes from Darlene Lutz who is described as 'a long-time personal friend of Madonna's from her innermost circle'.

The two-page letter is expected to fetch between $US3000-$5000 when it goes to auction next week.

Isn't it like the most popular song ever ? Not even a nomination ? WTF ?

Was she one of the most wooden actresses of the Golden Age or the most perfect embodiment of an all-American girl next door ever captured on film?

These people are all doomed.

She claims her sitcom was cancelled after she refused to sleep with him.

I've heard a woman who wants to keep her maiden name after marriage has to fill out additional paper work, otherwise the default assumed by the state is that she is taking her husband's name. But for same-sex couples they assume both parties will keep their maiden names. How is it in your state?

Carry on.

As mentioned near the end of the last thread, Saturday night at 9 PM CBS will show a new episode of 48 Hours about Joey's murder.

Hot or not? Gay, pan or bi? Best or worst thing to happen to AHS? How big will his career be? Will he be able to get out from under the Ryan Murphy umbrella? Exactly how much is he trolling his stans? Is he actually as fame-shy as he professes? Will he keep or drop the twink boyfriend? Keep the debates going, bitches.

They don’t call it Hollyweird for nothing. If you’ve lived there, worked there, know someone, etc: What’s one quirk of Hollywood life that no one says but everyone just knows? What tacit rules do you live by in order to survive in the biz?

He was a runaway gay teen from Minnesota

Sad story

Is anybody watching? On the plus side, it's set in late 1950s New York City.

On the negative side, it looks like they stole the life of Lenny Bruce and assigned it to a woman. Or, I dunno, maybe Joan Rivers, but did Joan get arrested?

Because as annoying as these FF posts are, It's more annoying checking to see if a new thread had been started.

He's gone, he's back he's gone. What will the eejit throw at us next? It's usually a dramatic return especially seeing that the Cowboys & Angels have announced their event for 25th June 2019. I am sure he will want to steal the limelight.

She's not taking this aging thing well.

I love how open minded those European movies in the 70's and the actors were. I mean, can you imagine an oscar winning actor touching a high-profile Euro actor's dick in a movie these days?

Where will YOU go for your mid-afternoon porn break now that Tumblr is going all G-rated in mid December? If it doesn't already exist, how longe before someone creates it? I know there are plenty of pay-sites, but one of the appeals of Tumblr was that it was free. How about DL-X?

She really does sing well. She's not the performer Liza was but you'd think she could have got some work.

Please I’m so in the dark.

Conservatives are doing everything they can to throw as much mud at Trudeau as possible. Trotting out multiple talking heads on news shows and talk radio to bash Trudeau. Sending out MILLIONS of memes, producing video after video after video on YouTube all vilifying Trudeau.

Third party groups are also in the mix, making videos, memes, tweets, Facebook postings. Taking a page directly out of the Trump playbook against Hillary.

It appears to be working as new polling data (from one of Canada most respected pollsters Nanos Research) has come out showing Trudeau losing huge support among Millenials (his strongest base) and going to the Conservatives

Last four weeks in polling have been the worst for Justin Trudeau as a trend line is developing as he keep declining support, while Conservatives are rising in the polls. And this is in direct relation to the HUGE propaganda machine by the Conservatives

Only 7% of Canadians feel Justin Trudeau has done a "very good job" protecting jobs. Only 22% feel he he has done a "good job" while 30% say he has done an "average job" But a whopping 37% say he has done a "poor" to "very poor" job in protecting jobs.

And the kicker is only 12% of Canadians feel the economy is going to get stronger and that is the LOWEST ever in 10 years of tracking this question.

This despite Canada having the lowest unemployment rate in 40 years and Canada creating over 1 million jobs

But the Conservative propaganda machine is saying otherwise, and if they did in Hillary Clinton, looks like they will do in Justin Trudeau.

It is sad Canada is falling for the same fake news, propaganda and lies that the USA fell for. But Conservatives were bound and determined to make Trudeau a one-term Prime Minister and looks like they are on track in doing so,

I don't think I will be able to sleep tonight as this depresses me.

Does anyone know how to download all of the photos on a tumblr page at the same time? I feel like I need to race to do it. Time is limited. What is the best way?

Thoughts about the trailer? Will you be seeing this in theatres or stream it later?

Comes out December 25th in the US and in February elsewhere.

He's 75, she 63. I guess he's looking for something younger.

"The Raging Bull star, 75, married the actress and singer, 63, in 1997 after they met a decade earlier while she was working at Mr. Chow restaurant in London.

The couple welcomed their first child the following year but in 1999 De Niro filed for divorce and sued the former TWA flight attendant for custody of their son, Elliot. They subsequently reconciled and De Niro withdrew his divorce papers with the pair renewing their vows in 2010 at De Niro’s New York State farm near the Catskill Mountains in front of guests including Martin Scorsese, Meryl Streep and Tom Brokaw.

They welcomed a daughter, Helen, via surrogate in December 2011, when De Niro was 68."

It was either this or the Old West, and I'd much rather go underground.

Also, seeing La Sleestak in something that looks like a Dollar Tree version of a Star Wars uniform is EVERYTHING.

It’s time.

I was born in the mid 80s so I wasn't familiar with Whitney Houston until the mid 90s when her addiction issues had taken hold and she was seen being messy with Bobby Brown. I just finished watching the new Whitney Houston documentary and can't believe how much she changed. She was so beautiful, talented, poised and magnetic in the beginning. I still loved her when she was acting crazy and losing her voice but it's tragic she fell so far. It's almost hard to believe she was the same woman.

Lenny Kravitz says 'it was beautiful' seeing daughter Zoe Kravitz work with his ex-girlfriend Nicole Kidman on Big Little Lies... as rocker reveals 'we're all friends'

Amanda Knox must really be into sci-fi ... 'cause her proposal had a definite theme, and a ton of production from her BF-turned-fiancé. Spoiler alert: she said yes!

Amanda posted video Friday of Christopher Robinson pulling off a proposal that included special effects. It starts with Amanda and Christopher heading outside after hearing a meteor strike in the backyard. Yeah, dude even busted out sound effects.

You gotta see it ... smoke, lights, a fake crater and a so-called "data crystal" outlining their "coalescence." Space geeks think of everything.

It all built up to Christopher popping the big question, but you'll notice one big thing missing -- a ring. Chill, Amanda doesn't wear 'em.

This happened on the train line that I take from work to home every day. What should we call this one - Homophobic Harry? Beatdown Bob? Spine-crushing Sam? Oh wait, no need for a nickname here, because the mainstream media and Twitter will have ZERO interest in this story.

Which one of you all left your heart on the plane?

Isn't that nice of him.

Why is the music industry so intent on turning our country into an inner city black neighborhood? No wonder we are doing so poorly in education compared to other countries.

British fashion designer Tan France, the style expert on Netflix’s Emmy Award-winning series “Queer Eye,” is not happy — and it’s not because boot-cut jeans for men are reportedly making a comeback.

The 35-year-old TV personality took to Twitter and Instagram on Wednesday with scathing words about the Transportation and Security Administration, accusing the agency of profiling him and adding his name to a “list of concern.” France is an openly gay Muslim man of Pakistani descent, who was born in the United Kingdom but now resides in Salt Lake City.

“I’ve been put through extra security checks 3 times this week, and was just told by a TSA agent it’s because my name is on a list,” France tweeted to his more than 329,000 followers, tagging TSA’s official Twitter account. “WTF? I’m brown but that does NOT mean I’m a damn security risk!!!”

In short videos posted to his Instagram page after boarding his flight, France, appearing thoroughly frustrated, explained his travel ordeal in detail to his 2.1 million Instagram followers.

“I’m . . . fuming,” said France, using an expletive. “I just got through . . . security at the airport. It took me over two hours. This is now the third time this week.”

[A Canadian leader was asked by TSA to remove his turban. U.S. officials express ‘regret.’]

For France, who said he has TSA PreCheck membership, the often arduous airport security process usually only takes “15, 20 minutes.”

TSA touts the PreCheck program — a five-year membership costing $85 — as a way for travelers to save “time and stress,” noting “you can speed through security” without the hassle of taking off shoes, belts and light jackets or removing laptops and approved liquids. But in much smaller font, and marked by a small red warning icon, the text reads, “TSA uses unpredictable security measures, both seen and unseen, throughout the airport. All travelers will be screened, and no individual is guaranteed expedited screening.”

On Instagram, France said he was recently informed by a TSA agent that his “name is on a list of concern.”

“So here’s how this goes down, and it’s gone down three times this week,” France said. “What happens is when you’re checking in, they tell you that you can’t use your PreCheck because there’s a security issue.”

Then, once he arrives at security, he said he is taken out of line and searched.

“They search you and they give you a pat-down, which is humiliating, where they check everything,” he continued. “Then, they go through all of your bags and they take a good 45 minutes to go through your bag.”

But France said his difficulties didn’t end there. Upon arriving at the gate, France said ticketing agents would not allow him to immediately board his flight because they were “confused” by the various TSA stamps on his boarding pass.

“The reason why I wanted to post this is so I can tag TSA,” France said in the final Instagram video clip, which is captioned “I. am. not. a. security. risk.”

He continued: “Hopefully, they’ll see this at some point and figure out why . . . they’re treating me like this, because I know the answer. I know why I’m being profiled.”

TSA did not respond to a request for comment from The Washington Post late Wednesday night, but told the Hill in a statement that the agency can’t comment on “the security designation for specific individuals,” adding, “there are a number of reasons a passenger can be selected for additional screening, including by random designation.”

The statement also noted that all airline passengers, “regardless of race, gender, or religion,” are screened at checkpoints, the Hill reported.

The agency did respond to France’s tweet, about 10 minutes after it was posted, directing him to the Department of Homeland Security’s Traveler Redress Inquiry Program. The program is a way for people to find out more about their travel-related issues, which includes problems with watch lists and “situations where travelers believe they have been unfairly or incorrectly delayed, . . . or identified for additional screening.”

I mean, the TODAY show.

Kathie Lee Gifford announced on the fourth hour of Today this morning that she will be leaving the 10 a.m. broadcast she co-hosts with Hoda Kotb. Gifford will stay through the show’s 11th anniversary on April 7, 2019.

The TV legend gave an emotional announcement live. “I have been here almost eleven years—thought I would stay one year and something happened along the way,” she shared. “I fell in love with a beautiful Egyptian goddess. Now, when it’s our 11th anniversary, I’m going to be leaving The Today Show. It’s an exciting time for me and I’m thrilled about all the projects I have coming up but it’s also hard. The reason I stayed longer than a year is because I love everybody here so much.”

“The minute you stepped into my life with both feet…everything changed,” said a teary Kotb.

I'm beginning to think I'm a narcissist. Is there a way out?

Thanks, Trump.

So where will we go for our free porn now?

Imagine an entire country where variants of Fox News were all you could get.

A “hi-tech robot” shown on Russian state television has turned out to be a man in a suit.

Russia-24 praised the ersatz android during coverage of a youth forum dedicated to robotics, boasting that “Robot Boris has already learned to dance and he’s not that bad”.

But sharp-eyed bloggers were dubious. The Russian website TJournal listed questions about the robot’s performance: Where were Boris’s external sensors? Why did the robot make so many “unnecessary movements” while dancing?

...

The state-run Channel One was forced to apologise last week for a fake report showing a young Ukrainian man complaining about progress since the country’s revolution five years ago. The man turned out to be Belarusian, and told RFE/RL he was “totally ashamed” for taking part in the report.

And why did the robot look like a person would fit perfectly inside of it?

Later, photographs of the “robot” posted on social media showed the very visible neckline of the person in the suit.

Boris turned out to be an “Alyosha the Robot” costume made by a company called Show Robots.

The thread continues! CHAPTER SIX! Keep those HOT GIFs coming!

Economists report that workers are starting to act like millennials on Tinder: They’re ditching jobs with nary a text.

“A number of contacts said that they had been ‘ghosted,’ a situation in which a worker stops coming to work without notice and then is impossible to contact,” the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago noted in December’s Beige Book, which tracks employment trends.

National data on economic “ghosting” is lacking. The term, which usually applies to dating, first surfaced in 2016 on Dictionary.com. But companies across the country say silent exits are on the rise.

Analysts blame America’s increasingly tight labor market. Job openings have surpassed the number of seekers for eight straight months, and the unemployment rate has clung to a 49-year low of 3.7 percent since September.

Janitors, baristas, welders, accountants, engineers — they’re all in demand, said Michael Hicks, a labor economist at Ball State University in Indiana. More people may opt to skip tough conversations and slide right into the next thing.

“Why hassle with a boss and a bunch of out-processing,” he said, “when literally everyone has been hiring?”

Recruiters at global staffing firm Robert Half have noticed a “ten to twenty percent increase” in ghosting over the past year, D.C. district president Josh Howarth said.

Applicants blow off interviews. New hires turn into no-shows. Workers leave one evening and never return.

Beto O’Rourke Spoke With Al Sharpton As He Considers A Presidential Campaign

O’Rourke, now making up his mind about whether or not to join the 2020 Democratic primary, is huddling with another key adviser in Obama’s orbit.

Beto O’Rourke and Rev. Al Sharpton spoke on Friday, a source familiar with the interaction told BuzzFeed News, as O’Rourke considers a presidential campaign and courts allies of Barack Obama.

O’Rourke, who narrowly lost a Senate race in November to Ted Cruz, initially said that he had no intention of running for office in 2020, but at a town hall after the election said he wasn’t ruling it out.

Rachel Noerdlinger, a spokesperson for Sharpton, confirmed the news that O’Rourke and Sharpton spoke Friday. “They spoke and agreed to meet within the next couple of weeks and they had a great conversation,” she said.

Sharpton has been a force in Democratic primary politics, drawing major candidates to the annual convention of the National Action Network in New York. (In 2007, it was a coming out party of sorts for Obama.) The agenda for the call itself was not clear, and the spokesperson declined to comment further. But the news comes after the Washington Post reported that O’Rourke met with Obama in his post-presidential office on Nov. 16. Obama did not endorse O’Rourke in his Senate race, and O’Rourke insisted at the time that while Obama would go down as one of the greatest presidents, he was more focused on Texas.

Friday’s call also comes after former Massachusetts governor Deval Patrick — once thought to be the favorite potential contender among former Obama staff and top advisers — revealed last week that does not intend to run for president. Patrick has said he would be open to supporting other candidates in 2020, and O’Rourke’s overture to Sharpton, a former close Obama adviser, is another sign that O’Rourke is interested in winning over support from Obamaworld.

Stretch it out!

I find it to be interesting but sad at the same time. It doesn't seem like the UAE will officially ever accept homosexuality but they're not as hardcore as certain other Muslim countries

The idea of dancing at a club with gays from all over the world sounds amazing though.

LOL @ "butch Lebanese and their Asian playthings"

It that offensive to gays?

As of an hour ago. Ever noticed how little this man actually moves? It's uncanny how still he is.

They BEGGED her!

It’s that time, and I’m mixing up multiple batches to feed each and every one of you bitches. Just let me know where to sent it to you and I’ll take care of the rest.

I have just finished Agatha Christie’s THE MAN IN THE BROWN SUIT. Very fun. Her breezy adventuress heroines are great. I have Days Of Abandonment by Elena Ferrante (20 pages in) and the first book in the Raj Quartet by Paul Scott (The Jewel In The Crown - overwritten and not a patch on the TV series) on the go. I about to embark on Tangerine by Christine Mangan and am choosing another mystery.

Surprise! Despite being anointed an instant classic and Best Picture contender, it’s only at 76%.

Do you have a celebrity fragrance you enjoy? Let's restrict this to celebrities who are NOT in the fashion or beauty business. David Beckham, for example.

This is Alain Delon Samourai. From 1995. It's surprisingly good on me, and have been wearing it for years. Its the only aquatic cologne I wear. Find it dime stores.

Her breakthrough, she explained, came when she developed a bit about whether she was still relatable, which, considering the extravagant surroundings (she and de Rossi have works by Richard Serra, Tracey Emin and Basquiat), does sound like a joke. But it is a subject DeGeneres understands in a personal, idiosyncratic way, “It was interesting to me that I was more relatable when I was closeted and dishonest than when I came out,” she said.

When she came out of the closet in 1997, the first out lesbian lead of her own sitcom, “Ellen,” she became a huge star, on the cover of Time, accompanied by the headline “Yep, I’m Gay.” But what’s remembered less is what happened next. ABC put a parental advisory warning on the show and canceled it the next season. According to DeGeneres, her straight audience left her and she received wounding criticism from gay viewers for not being political enough. (Elton John’s comment that she should stop talking about her sexuality and be funny still stings.) She sank into a depression.

I think all social media companies like facebook, twitter, etc. should be forced to use a blockchain system so that if I'm on facebook, I should be able to communicate with people who are on twitter, snapchat, etc. Can you imagine if you had AT&T for your phone provider and you couldn't make a call to someone who uses Verizon?

President Trump lashed out at Mika Brzezinski, co-host of MSNBC’s ‘Morning Joe,’ for using a homophobic slur to describe Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.

Brzezinski, in a discussion about Pompeo’s recent interview with ‘Fox & Friends,’said on Wednesday: “I understand that Donald Trump doesn’t care…But why doesn’t Mike Pompeo care right now? Are the pathetic deflections that we just heard when he appeared on Fox and Friends, is that a patriot speaking, or a wannabe dictator’s buttboy?”

Trump reacted via Twitter on Thursday: “If it was a Conservative that said what ‘crazed’ Mika Brzezinski stated on her show yesterday, using a certain horrible term, that person would be banned permanently from television.”

Despite starring in iconic cult films and comedies in a career that has spanned almost 45 years, the actor is derided and mocked.

Last night I was watching The Wizard of Lies (about Bernie Madoff. Good movie, btw). I noticed in the closing credits it listed a couple of people for stunts. WTF? There was no car chase, fights, person jumping off cliff or tall building, etc. So why were stuntmen needed?

A Miss Universe contestant is being called out for bullying after making fun of a fellow contestant’s language skills. The competition is underway in Thailand.

In a now-expired Instagram Live video, Miss USA Sarah Rose Summers can be heard joking to Miss Australia and Miss Colombia about how Miss Vietnam speaks.

“What do you think about Miss Vietnam?” she asks her friends, before laughing, “… and she pretends to know so much English, and you ask her a question after having a whole conversation with her and she … smiles and nods."

Popular Instagram page Diet Prada posted the footage with another two videos of Miss USA, this time speaking about Miss Cambodia.

In the first she showers her fellow contestant with praise while thanking her own Cambodian fans for their support.

But in the second, she’s seen pitying Miss Cambodia to the same two friends.

“Miss Cambodia is here and doesn’t speak any English, and not a single other person speaks her language,” she says, adding, “Poor Cambodia.”

The footage has gone viral on social media, with thousands condemning the behavior.

“The future Miss Universe should not be an ambassador of bullying,” read one comment.

“This is just a shameful display of meanness poorly masked as empathy,” another commenter wrote. “Clearly none of these women embody what being Miss Universe is all about … and in this day and age?”

“Shame on you ladies! Beautiful outside but not inside!!” wrote another critic.

Yet some are backing the Nebraska-born pageant queen, whose Instagram bio features the hashtag #ifyoudonthaveanythingnicetosaydontsayanythingatall.

“Sad to think that your sorrow towards Cambodia and thoughtfulness towards Vietnam is being perceived in the wrong manner … to add that these specific individuals have only seen snippets of the live video,” wrote one supporter on Instagram. “Don’t listen to ’em. A lot of people know you weren’t making fun of those two women, in fact you were telling everyone the wittiness and uniqueness that comes with competing with so many different women from around the world.

FUCK, he's gorgeous. he's also on that mormon porn site

He’s married to a guy so he’s not in the closet or anything. They’ve been together 11 years. We’ve been having an affair off and on for almost two years and I’m seriously in love and have been since first sight. Should I risk everything and tell him or just enjoy our sex while it lasts? He’s my ideal man.

Just what the fuck was she thinking?

I was in one a few weeks back (friends' rental) and the layout actually seems sort of clever-- kitchen, dining and living room up a half flight, den down half a flight and bedrooms on the middle level .

Seems a good layout for a family with older kids where everyone wanted some privacy and could probably be modernized by making the kitchen-living room level into a "great room" type space.

Given that they've been out of favor since the 70s or 80s, are split levels the new midcentury modern?

Thomas the blind, bisexual goose has died and will be laid to rest next to Henry the swan, his partner of nearly 30 years.

A love affair that spanned decades – and species – is at an end.

Thomas the blind, bisexual goose died last week, and will be buried next to his partner of nearly 30 years, a black swan named Henry, on the edge of the Kāpiti lagoon that the pair called home.

Having spent his final years at a Wellington bird sanctuary, Thomas will be laid to rest with a public ceremony held later this month, birdwatcher Mik Peryer said.

Initially, when the pair were first seen together, Henry was thought to be a female swan but the lack of babies soon proved otherwise, he said.

The happy partnership was briefly tested when Henry paired up with a female swan but Thomas stuck around, even helping to raise the inevitable babies.

"Prior to Henrietta turning up they had about 18 happy gay years together."

The feathered threesome delighted visitors who watched the "the eternal triangle" raise 68 cygnet over the years with Thomas fulfilling the role of doting uncle.

He was left heartbroken after Henry's 2009 death and could be heard occasionally crying for him, Peryer said.

"Henrietta just flew off with another bird, being a young female, but poor old Tom was left on his own.

The arrival of a couple of female geese finally saw Thomas father his own babies only to have them stolen by another goose, named George, who raised them as his own.

"You would see George and the babies with Thomas just following them around."

Failing eyesight and attacks by swans saw Thomas rehomed to the Wellington Bird Rehabilitation Trust in 2013, where he spent his final years eating corn and raising orphaned cygnets.

Thomas, who Peryer estimated to be 38-years-old, will be buried under the commemorative stone – complete with plaque – that marks Henry's final resting place.

"We had about 100 people turn up for Henry and I wouldn't be surprised if the same happened for Thomas."​

‘Bitter’ Madonna and Lady Gaga go to war over quote

Madonna has a “bitter” message for her fiercest pop music rival: Gaga don’t leach.

Madonna, 60, is accusing the A Star is Born actress of allegedly stealing one of her quotes.

But Madonna — reportedly jealous of Gaga and her Hollywood success — posted an Instagram story Monday of an interview of herself from the 1980s.

Madonna said: “If there are 100 people in a room and 99 say they liked it, I only remember the one person who didn’t.”

Most of the Michigan-born Madonna’s big-screen efforts have fallen into the turkey time category.

Cue the tribes. Madonna’s fans and Gaga’s Little Monsters then went at it hammers and tongs on social media.

One tweeted: “For all the 11-year-old Gaga fans, just Google ‘Single White Female,’ then you’ll understand why Madonna is likely upset.”

In the past, Madonna has accused Gaga of copying Express Yourself and slammed her as”reductive.”

But Gaga has always denied comparisons with her older rival.

Gender-fluid star Nico Tortorella says awards shows should better recognize nonbinary performers by nominating all actors in a single category instead of separating performances by gender.

“Instead of splitting it Best Actor/Best Actress, just [say] 'Best Actor,'” Tortorella said Wednesday in an interview on BuzzFeed News’ AM to DM. “Just put us all in the same category.”

In May, Tortorella, who stars in the TV show Younger, revealed they were gender-fluid, which is essentially someone who doesn’t identify as a single gender.

Tortorella maintained that humanity has “to figure out another way because [the] biologic fact is that there is a plethora of space between male and female.” Tortorella said on AM to DM that the next generation will see a shift in the way gender is discussed.

“The way that we as human beings split the entire world into two categories thousands of years ago is the most ridiculous thing we’ve ever done and it is the ultimate divide, the original binary, right?” they said.

The star has been in a decadelong polyamorous relationship with fitness guru Bethany Meyers, who identifies as a lesbian. The two married in March.

I was given some as a gift, wasn't ready to use it, so I stored it in a place for safe-keeping until the right time and environment. It is now at least 2 1/2 years old. Some drugs expire after a short period, others can remain potent for many years.

Is it still good? and if so, for how much longer? ...

Also, who here has used it and what was your experience like? I've had emotional issues for years, prescription meds did more harm than good, and I truly want to use it for therapeutic purposes. Many famous people have claimed it helped them tremendously including Steve Jobs, Lennon and McCarthy, and Cary Grant. I linked an old Vanity Fair article that was what originally got me thinking about it. I've read more positive than negative articles, and I know they're still doing research studies to this day.

I've done the prescription, psychiatric drugs and, with the side effects and everything else, they did far more harm than good and only further complicated and extended my issues. And yes, talk therapy as well.

So please, I just want to hear from people who have experienced it first hand and whether or not it helped. Thank you.

But what Tale?

My Dyson vacuum base literally broke in half one week after the 5 year warranty was up. It’s a big hunk of plastic. I can’t believe I paid over $500 for it!

After a lot of hemming and hawing, the company agreed to fix it because it died so close to the end of the warranty. Dyson, however, made a point to say it would not fix anything else on it afterwards. Lo and behold, two months later the canister broke.

I just had to throw the shit away. I will never buy a Dyson or such an expensive vacuum cleaner again. They’re all plastic shit. I just bought a Shark to replace it for 1/3rd the price. I’ll have no problem buying another and another when they inevitably crack and break apart.

The irony is that I don’t even have that much carpeting to keep clean—just a bunch of area rugs.

And wait until I tell you about my humidifiers.... same shit— it’s just better to buy a bunch of shitty low-priced one that a nice one. They’re all made like crap and will die in two years.

Have you ever met someone who was gay but had zero gaydar? I used to work with this gay guy who'd say that the rumors about Ricky Martin were just wishful thinking on the part of the gay community. This was in the early 2000s before Ricky came out.

No way would a gay man live like this.

Wasn't the girl a top model?

By popular demand. Let's show some love and sympathy for the poor kid. No hate, please.

I am from Brooklyn and I remember when you would be able to go out and be in the presence of just adults at some places, but now it seems like people bring their kids EVERYWHERE with them. Like everywhere. No lie. Even when I went to see Fifty Shades of Grey this woman had her kids with her... when me and my ex went to see Magic Mike a woman in front of us had her son with her (and other women brought their very young daughters out with them for girls night). You can’t go shopping at ANY STORE without kids running around and making messes and screaming, you can’t go to a restaurant without kids doing the same etc.

It’s fucking annoying. Like for real, get a babysitter or don’t go to the movies or to dinner at that fancy restaurant etc. it’s not fucking McDonalds. I’m sick of it.

NEWSFLASH - WE DONT ALL FIND YOUR KIDS CUTE LIKE YOU DO. THEYRE ANNOYING.

I ask because in the past weeks I went back to some of my former haunts on the gay scene where I used to drink in my younger years but hadn't been for quite a few years. I was very surprised to subsequently discover after browsing online that in the same bars as me there were at least 6 guys who were escorts .I recognised them when browsing online curious about local escorts. it felt a bit unreal like coming across famous people that you have randomly bumped into. I am not outraged or anything escort work is part of life and not to be judged in my opinion.But I was surprised by the number of escorts and or sex workers. 6 in 2 small bars within less than an hour.

Perhaps when I was on the scene 20 years ago it was just as prevalent but I did not realise or was too naïve? But what I am trying to figure out is it on the increase ,is it becoming more commonplace and accepted for whatever reason or does it just seem that way?

At least it might get the rich people off of Everest...

Any personal experiences or stories? It’s billed as DC’s last gay bathhouse and it’s in a good neighborhood, along the trendy 14th St. corridor.

Various online user reviews paint a mixed picture - some positive experiences, but also warnings about run-down facilities, rude staff etc.

I’ll be spending some time in DC next year and am curious if it’s worth a visit or visits. Not looking for sex partners, I just like the voyeurism and weird camaraderie of naked gay men sharing space.

And this is WHY the right can't STAND her! First, healthcare and now this? Republicans will be forever doomed...

Democratic House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi vowed to pass legislation that would put so-called Dreamers — young undocumented immigrants who came to the U.S. as children — on a pathway to citizenship when her party retakes control of Congress' lower chamber in January.

"America draws strength from our long, proud heritage as a nation of immigrants. In the Majority, Democrats will work to reverse the Republicans' destructive anti-immigrant agenda," Pelosi said in a statement Saturday, responding to a letter sent Thursday by the Congressional Hispanic Caucus. "Our House Democratic Majority will once again pass the Dream Act to end the uncertainty and fear inflicted on patriotic young men and women across the country."

How does one pay tribute to an artist by singing the song without knowing the words by heart? She’s winging it. And although she’s a fine singer, this song is out of her league.

The affection never ends...

Mess.

You should be jealous, bitches, because she recorded “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)” 55 years ago and despite being released the day JFK was shot (slow sales that year - 1963 was not a very Merry Christmas) it's been making me happy and making money for her ever since like a freakin' annuity that just keeps paying out year after year.

Christmas starts when I hear this song.

Fellow gay men, what advice would you provide to our struggling sistyrs on their path to self-discovery and groomed labias?

Any mention he ever made of Cohen, he just deleted

What do you think made it such a huge hit? Had Broadway gone through a period before it came out where they were really thirsty for a box office smash? How did "A Chorus Line" change Broadway?

Also: Paul was not the first gay character in a Broadway musical (there had been one in "Applause" in 1970) but he must have been the first one to have such a big part - his monologue was, for that time, groundbreaking - and still is actually. The actor that played Paul, Sammy Williams, won the Tony Award rightfully so for his performance.

Have any of you seen it and if you did what were your thoughts on it? Did you expect it to last as long as it did?

And what did you think of that movie from 1985 --- which seems to have no love at all.

I kept hearing rumors that Linda Lavin was tough to work with. Seems that Lavin was bitter over the fact that Polly Holiday was stealing the limelight and that her character, Flo, was considered the hot one. Was this why she left to do that unsuccessful spinoff, "Flo?" I also read somewhere that Diane Ladd and Beth Howland didn't get along with her either. It seems like a lot of women who had done stage work in musicals than went to TV are pretty difficul to work with, as was the case with Betty Buckley on "Eight is Enough." I just watched a couple episodes of the sixth season DVD and I must say the Jolene era is pretty bad. I thought Vic Tayback was pretty sexy. Loved the fur on his upper back.

In high school we were required to shower after Phys ed. I still remember the first day in the locker room seeing all my teammates and guys I had crushes on taking off their clothes and completely naked in the showers. I used to masturbate frequently. Is it still a requirement to take showers after playing sports in high school? If not, why did this change? For those that did, do any of you remember that first time you were required to take your clothes off and shower with your classmates? Has anyone ever followed a guy you were attracted to into the locker room at the gym just so you can see him naked?

Making history once is great. But Gaga is more than great — she’s Gaga! And so, today, she made history once more, becoming (as far as I can tell) the first singer to be nominated for Outstanding Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role at the Screen Actors Guild Awards.

And while her nomination isn’t all that surprising (A Star is Born got three more nods, including Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor and Best Ensemble Cast, making it the most nominated film of the ceremony), it is worth celebrating. Because while the Oscars and the Golden Globes get most of the media attention, the SAGs are, in some ways, a more prestigious recognition of talent. It’s an award bestowed by the acting community to acknowledge a peer at the height of his or her craft

It’s a tremendous feat of acting. And that’s why despite the many, many gifted performances by women this year, Gaga is making sure we let the old ways die, and witness the birth of a new, talented and SAG-endorsed Hollywood star.

I do.

WOODLAND PARK, Colo. -- The fiance of a Woodland Park woman missing since Thanksgiving is cooperating with law enforcement, according to a statement issued by his lawyer Wednesday.

Kelsey Berreth was last seen on Nov. 22, Thanksgiving Day. She and her fiance, Patrick Frazee, share a 1-year-old daughter who is currently in Frazee's care.

Frazee is being represented by Jeremy Loew, who operates a law practice in nearby Colorado Springs.

In the statement, Loew said Frazee "continues to cooperate" with law enforcement as it investigates Berreth's disappearance.

"Mr. Frazee's cooperation includes interviews with law enforcement, voluntarily releasing his phone to be searched by law enforcement, buccal swabs and photographs," the statement reads.

Loew also acknowledged that there has been speculation as to why Frazee was not at a press conference held by the Woodland Park Police Department on Monday.

"Mr. Frazee was first notified of the press conference approximately one hour prior to its commencement. Had he been given more advance notice, he would have participated. Mr. Frazee hopes and prays for Ms. Berreth's return," Loew said.

The attorney said his client would continue to cooperate with police and parent the child. Additionally, Loew said Frazee would not speak with the media about the case, as Frazee does not want to "impede law enforcement's investigation."

No wonder CNN is the epic fail of cable news. Jesus fucking Christ.

I see it at the theatre, concerts, movies and even shopping. Why are people in such need for attention? Can anyone one explain?

I know two guys who became escorts.

One is a hot, short, muscled cuban top. He was a FB of mine for a while. He liked to verbally abuse muscle guys as a sexual thing (he didn't to me but would tell me about guys he met who loved that stuff). He was so stunning that he would have sex with porn stars all the time. He would fly to California just to attend porn star sex parties. I think he's accountant by profession but decided to escort on the side. I lost touch with him when he moved to California from NYC. Rumor is that he's started up with meth.

The other is an acquaintance who became one for a short time and then went to law school. He's a bottom. He's a cute, muscled, twink. The stories he tells are interesting--the types of people who hired him were so varied--from gorgeous to troll, from muscular to fat, from guys in their 20's to those in their 70's.

Meet married couple Chris and Matt Brandt who have become a 'thruple' after inviting a woman into their relationship.

The trio share an intimate one-bed apartment with their two adorable pups - and have discussed having kids one day.

Chris and Matt have been together for more than eight years and were exploring an open relationship when Cait Earnest met Chris on a dating app in 2015.

When they realised that they had strong feelings for each other, Chris asked Matt if he could invite Cait into their relationship.

Chris explained: “Matthew had never had any experience with women before he’d met me. And before I met Matthew I had dated quite a few girls and quite a few guys.

“I suggested to Chris, ‘How would you feel about involving a woman in some fashion?’

“At first he was completely opposed to the idea but after a while we talked about it and he warmed up to the idea.”

Before long the threesome, from New York, were smitten with each other and became inseparable.

Chris says: “The three of us started to spend more and more time together and after about seven or eight months she was staying over five nights a week.”

Despite the unusual nature of their relationship, the trio is very open about their dynamic.

Cait says: “When we meet somebody at a bar I will usually say, ‘Hi, I’m Cait and these are my two boyfriends. People often ask if I’m joking.”

Even Matt’s grandpa has embraced their relationship and he is always asking when one of them is going to get Cait pregnant.

Nine months into their relationship with Cait, Matt and Chris tied the knot but they made sure Cait was right there with them.

Now that they have been living together for two years, the thruple are even discussing future children.

Matt added: “As far as kids, I think any child would be lucky to have three parents but we have two dogs for now and that’s enough.”

Ok, DL: I need some insight.

I've known a guy -- let's call him Dan -- for a couple of years now through mutual friends. When I met him, he had a boyfriend, but they broke up soon afterward. We became friends; I found Dan very attractive and I tried to move the friendship to the next level. He was interested for about a minute, but it passed, and we remained friends.

Now I am interested in a new guy, we've been out a few times, and Dan is visibly jealous. It's weird. He gets all bitchy and threatened if I discuss the new guy with him.

What gives? He doesn't want to date me, so why does he care if I date someone else?

BLADEN COUNTY, N.C. - Channel 9 was back in Bladen County, North Carolina Monday, tracking down people involved in the controversy surrounding mail-in-absentee ballots in the U.S. House District 9 election.

The state refused to officially declare Republican Mark Harris the winner over Democrat Dan McCready, looking into potential wrongdoing in the election.

What Channel 9 found appears to be a targeted effort to illegally pick up ballots, in which even the person picking them up had no idea whether those ballots were even delivered to the elections board.

Consistently, Channel 9 found the same people signing as witnesses for the people voting, which is very rare.

Of the 159 submitted and accepted absentee ballot envelopes, below is the breakdown of those who signed as witnesses:

Woody Hester witnessed 44 James Singletary witnessed 42 Lisa Britt witnessed 42 Ginger Eason witnessed 28 Jessica Dowless witnessed 15 Cheryl Kinlaw witnessed 13 Deborah Edwards witnessed 11 Sandra Dowless witnessed 10 Many times, people on that list witnessed ballots together.

Channel 9’s political reporter Joe Bruno went door-to-door in Bladen County trying to find out who these people are.

No one answered at Woody Hester’s home. James Singletary wasn’t home either and Lisa Britt doesn’t live at the address she said she did on the ballots.

Bruno then visited Ginger Eason. She told him why her name appeared so many times as a witness.

“I was helping McCrae pick up ballots,” Eason said.

Eason said Leslie McCrae Dowless, Jr. paid her $75 to $100 a week to go around and pick up finished absentee ballots.

Dowless is the Bladen County Soil and Water Conservation District Supervisor who appears to be at the center of the state investigation. He was named twice in sworn affidavits as a worker for the Mark Harris campaign.

Eason said she never discarded ballots or saw who people were voting for, but after picking them up, she didn’t mail them. She said she gave them to Dowless.

She said Dowless never told her what she was doing was illegal.

For days, Channel 9 has been trying to contact Dowless. On Monday, Bruno confronted him, but he did not answer his questions.

“Did you pay people to pick up ballots?” Bruno asked.

“At this time, I have no comment. Have a great day,” Dowless replied.

There goes your Vietnamese take-out food

The Atlantic reported that the Trump administration is in the process of starting to deport certain protected Vietnamese immigrants who have lived in the United States for decades after presumably fleeing their then war-torn country. Last year, the president flouted a 2008 agreement with Hanoi that specifically bars the deportation of Vietnamese who arrived in the United States before July 12, 1995 — the date the two former foes re-established diplomatic relations following the Vietnam War. As is often the case with this virulently anti-immigrant president, Trump claims he wanted to punish countries that allow “violent criminal aliens” into the United States.

I grew up in poverty and was neglected/abused. Basically when I was a kid my life was total chaos. My mom is an alcoholic, we moved around a lot and I had lots of problems at school. I didn't fit in with the other kids, and was always behind the other kids with school work. I'm not sure, but I think I have some kind of learning issue because I have to read things two or three times before I can process it properly and sometimes I have a hard time putting my thoughts into words so basically I barely made it though high school. I liked some of my teachers but not the other kids.

Anyway, I'm on my own now and I don't want to continue my life that way. I know I'm still not normal compared to others but I want to be different than my family. So far it hasn't been going too great.

So how do you get out of that kind of craziness when you don't really know what it's like to have anything stable or realize what's normal? I know when things aren't right, but I don't know how to make them right or how to fix things? I don't think I'll have some great life, but just want to be in a halfway decent situation.

Have you been though this and managed to change things to make life better? what did you do? I'd like to wake up and be a totally different person.

I won't watch 13 Reasons Why or Stranger Things because they're too popular and I'm a rebel.

I’m on the verge of a nervous breakdown. I cannot handle my life, and I’m seriously considering just ending it. I feel like I need to go to the hospital before I crack. Someone mentioned in another thread that they wouldn’t want a self imposed medical stay on their record. What does that mean? Are there ramification for going to the hospital? I need help. I can’t cope any more.

Mark Evans and Justin Mortelliti have cause to celebrate right now. The couple recently got engaged and both guys are making their Broadway debuts—Mark makes his debut as Chris Bean in the Tony and Olivier Award-winning comedy The Play That Goes Wrong, and Justin is in the ensemble and understudying the lead in the new Jimmy Buffett musical Escape To Margaritaville.

Broadway World has just learned that Sergio Trujillo and Jack Noseworthy have just welcomed a new member of the family- their son, Lucas Alejandro Truworthy, born March 12, 2018.

A recent Tony Award nominee for his choreography of the Gloria Estefan musical On Your Feet!, Trujillo's latest work can be seen in the new Broadway show Summer: The Donna Summer Musical, which just began previews at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre. Noseworthy currently stars in the Toronto production of Come From Away at Royal Alexandra.

Manafort & Cohen, the biggest day in Trump's world and Joe doesn't bother to show up?

Ecuador's President said today that the UK government has promised them Julian will not be extradited to anywhere that would impose the death penalty on him, so he's free to quit the Embassy i.e. they are throwing him out. Assange's lawyers are putting up a fight.

Enjoy Guatanamo, Julian dear!

[quote]Julian Assange's lawyer has rejected an agreement announced by Ecuador's president to see him leave the Ecuadorean embassy in London, after six years inside.Lenin Moreno, the president of Ecuador, has made no secret of his wish to be rid of the WikiLeaks founder, who sought asylum inside the embassy in June 2012 and has not left since.On Thursday Mr Moreno announced that a deal had been reached between London and Quito to allow Mr Assange, 47, to be released."The way has been cleared for Mr Assange to take the decision to leave in near-liberty," said Mr Moreno.He did not specify what "near liberty" meant.

[quote]Mr Moreno earlier this year announced that he was severing Mr Assange's telephone and internet links, and in October said he was banning him from making "political statement" that jeopardised Ecuador's relations with other countries. Mr Assange then sued for a breach of his human rights.From December, he was also due to pay for his own costs of food, medical care and laundry, in yet another sign of the growing impatience of the Ecuadorean government.Mr Moreno added that Britain had guaranteed that the Australian would not be extradited to any country where his life is in danger.But Mr Assange's lawyer, Barry Pollack, told The Telegraph that the deal was not acceptable.The legal team have long argued that they will not accept any agreement which risks his being extradited to the United States.

The two hot-blooded lawmakers have not been identified, and it remains unclear whether their restroom encounter reflected a moment of overwhelming passion or a consummation of the Lega-Five Star alliance.

A couple of horny lawmakers have been hitting the newswire in Italy. According to Il Giornale reporter Romana Liuzzo, two MPs, one from the Lega Nord party and another from the Five Star Movement (M5S), have been caught on a cell phone camera having sex in a restroom of the lower chamber of parliament. "Obviously, we know their names," the journalist wrote; she refused to disclose their identities, however, citing their right to privacy.

More details surfaced later: Franco Bechis, director of the Italian daily Il Tempo, was quoted as saying that the two MPs were "two tall, beautiful men."

Francesco D'Uva, the Five Star group leader in the Chamber of Deputies, reportedly forbade fellow party members in a text message from divulging the sordid details of the story.

... and we took a swim now and then to keep off sleepiness. It was kind of solemn, drifting down the big, still river, laying on our backs looking up at the stars, and we didn’t ever feel like talking loud, and it warn’t often that we laughed—only a little kind of a low chuckle. We had mighty good weather as a general thing, and nothing ever happened to us at all—that night, nor the next, nor the next.

Hmm, Ross Butler has been in Riverdale and 13 Reasons Why, and was just a few weeks ago cast in DC's Shazam. How strange.

-----------------------------------------

Courtney Love is being sued by her daughter's ex-husband, alleging she conspired to have him murdered over ownership of her late husband Kurt Cobain's 1959 Martin D-18E guitar that was used during Nirvana's iconic MTV Unplugged in New York performance in 1993.

Along with several others, Sam Lutfi -- who managed Britney Spears during her public meltdown in 2007 -- is also named in the suit and accused of supplying illicit drugs to Love's daughter, Frances Bean Cobain, as well as kidnapping, attempted murder, false imprisonment, extortion and more. Actor Ross Butler, star of 13 Reasons Why, is also accused of playing a role.

According to the civil complaint filed in Los Angeles County, Love, Lutfi and Butler entered into a criminal conspiracy to commit trespass, burglary, home invasion, robbery, assault, battery, kidnapping and murder against Silva, all in order to take possession of the guitar, which is believed to be worth millions of dollars. Billboard has reached out to Love's rep for comment.

A source close to the family told Billboard, "Frances and the family are prepared to fight with a fury of unprecedented legal force and they will prevail."

Dude is hot af. He was fired today after yet another losing season. Lots of rumors. Who knows what?

We are no longer paying attention to our surroundings and using the parts of our brains to navigate and determine route options because of our heavy reliance on GPS. I remember back before GPS I would jot down directions, use maps and ask for directions when driving to new destinations. We had to pay attention to where we were going and this would help us memorize routes and locations. Now everybody is just blindly following GPS directions without any thought. We are no longer using our brains because of this, smart phones and being able to google everything. It is frightening and sad how technology is making everyone stupid.

Ellen DeGeneres is responding to rumors that she “isn’t always kind to those she works with,” which she was asked by the New York Times during her interview with them for their latest feature.

More evidence that DeGeneres is shockingly different than her fake TV persona is that she is “more blunt, introspective and interesting than she is on the show, willing to express mild irritation that might seem off-key in front of a national audience. She’s also much more likely to explore dark corners of her psyche, regrets, second thoughts, anxieties that linger.” In her upcoming special, fellow comedian Tig Notaro says that DeGeneres is “a real person with a foul mouth.” She curses? Gasp! Not nice!

“That bugs me if someone is saying that because it’s an outright lie,” Ellen said in response to the question.

She continued, “The first day I said: ‘The one thing I want is everyone here to be happy and proud of where they work, and if not, don’t work here.’ No one is going to raise their voice or not be grateful. That’s the rule to this day.”

Ellen also said about false tabloid stories, “I hear Portia and I are divorcing every other week or having a baby or whatever.”

How did this escaped our attention?

Per TMZ.

Merli the Catalan show with Bruno and Pol is back for a nee season but with only Pol so far who now seems to have gone back to having sex with women after Bruno left.

In this version, Lizzie will be having an affair with the family maid (played by DL fave Kristen Stewart). What do we think?

Run-member that?

I'm losing count but carry on. . .

What movies do you watch when you're down, to cheer yourself up?

I watch Frozen — in particular, when Elsa sings "Let It Go". Love the part starting at 3:05, and when she sings "...That perfect girl is gone!" and the "camera" pans from the floor to her walking confidently." It gives me happy chills.

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.

[quote]Nightflyers, picked up to pilot in June after being put into development in May, is based on Martin's 1980 novella and the 1987 film of the same name. It follows eight maverick scientists and a powerful telepath who embark on an expedition to the edge of our solar system aboard The Nightflyer — a ship with a small tight-knit crew and a reclusive captain — in the hope of making contact with alien life. But when terrifying and violent events begin to take place, they start to question each other, and surviving the journey proves harder than anyone thought.

Who's the hottest guy on "Riverdale"?

One of the movie's taglines was "The First Ten Minutes of This Motion Picture Will Shock You. Then its beauty and human emotions will overwhelm you," but all that happened was that Alan Bates (as Diaghilev) kisses George de la Pena (as Nijinsky) in their hotel room. Supposedly they had thought about showing more, but De la Pena was straight and uptight and uncomfortable doing anything more.

Bates is terrific, and the recreations of Ballet Russes productions are nearly letter perfect, as are the recreations of the Edwardian hotels and train lobbies. De la Pena actually looks quite a bit like Nijinsky, and was a star soloist with the New York Ballet, and he even works really hard at the crazy scenes; but he's unlikable in a part that has to be lovable. And although Leslie Browne is exquisitely beautiful, God knows what Herbert Ross saw in her as an actress--she is completely incompetent in this, just as she was in "The Turning Point."

“We live in a society that messages women: By this age, you should be married; by this age, you should have children,” Jennifer Aniston told ELLE. “That’s a fairy tale."

And that's not all. The Friends icon also wants to shift the perceptions of women who choose not to have children or get married. As she says, "We live in a society that messages women: By this age, you should be married; by this age, you should have children. That’s a fairy tale. That’s the mold we’re slowly trying to break out of."

In case anyone was in any doubt, yes, Aniston is done with misogyny: "That’s part of sexism-it’s always the woman who’s scorned and heartbroken and a spinster. It’s never the opposite."

(Bloomberg) -- India is preparing for what could be one of the world’s most lavish weddings, a spectacle that could even put the fictional nuptials in "Crazy Rich Asians" to shame.

On Wednesday, Asia’s richest man -- oil-and-telecom tycoon Mukesh Ambani -- is scheduled to give away his daughter Isha to billionaire Ajay Piramal’s son, Anand. There have been a wide range of figures for how much the week-long extravaganza will cost. People familiar with the planning estimated the expense at about $100 million, while a person close to the family said the amount is not more than $15 million. The people asked not to be identified speaking on a private matter.

Invitees to the pre-wedding festivities, in the central Indian lake city of Udaipur, range from international and local celebrities such as Beyonce, Nick Jonas and Shah Rukh Khan, to politicians like Hillary Clinton and business tycoons including Henry Kravis, according to people familiar with the matter. The guest list is so long that the Ambanis and Piramals have taken over at least five five-star hotels nearby, and a war room has been set up in Mumbai to manage logistics, they said. According to local media reports, more than 100 chartered flights will fly guests to and from Udaipur’s Maharana Pratap Airport.

As gratitude to the city of Udaipur, the Ambanis donated enough food to feed 5,100 people three meals a day for four days, and set up a bazaar to showcase 108 traditional Indian paintings, pottery and other art from local artisans, according to a statement from a family representative.

The main ceremony will be held at the patriarch’s home, the 27-story Antilia palace in Mumbai, and post-wedding events will be held in the city.

For the chairman of Reliance Industries Ltd., who overtook Jack Ma this year as Asia’s wealthiest man, Isha will be the first of his children to wed. After the festivities, the newlyweds are poised to move in to their $64-million diamond-themed mansion at the Gulita building in Mumbai, according to one of the people.

Representatives for Reliance and Piramal Enterprises Ltd. declined to comment.

Adorable.

A gay man’s transformation photos have gone viral. However, although most body transformation comparison shots show someone slimming down, Dusty Fuller’s go in the opposite direction. And the vast majority of commentators approve. Fuller went from having abs and being somewhat twinkish in his mid-20s, to being a full on hefty gay bear in his early 30s. Now 34, the two photos are taken five years apart. He now weighs 275 lbs, on a 5’10” frame, approximately 100 lbs than the earlier shot. The shot, posted to Twitter Wednesday, has been liked over 5,000 times, retweeted over 500 times and prompted hundreds of comments. Fellow Twitter users have congratulated him on his ‘phenomenal’ new look. Others want to know how he achieved it.

Jealous bitches?

Is it mostly due to biological function? Men just wanna cum and that is all or is it environmental and men are just raised to be empty vessels with no soul or heart. My buddy thinks men are soul less automatons, whereas I think it is mostly environmental. I think most men these days are stale males. Sexless, charisma free nothings of no interest to anybody.

Behavioural Agreement Forms are the new new thing for college campuses. Speakers and performers are asked to sign them to accept a “no tolerance policy” on “racism, sexism, classism, ageism, homophobia, biphobia, transphobia, xenophobia, Islamophobia or anti-religion or anti-atheism” to ensure a “safe space” and an atmosphere of “joy, love and acceptance”.

Could there be anything be more banal? What clauses should the DL Behavioural Agreement Form include to ensure it remains a total howling cunt space?

“Sex is not gender,” the wildly popular YouTuber and sex educator Laci Green tweeted last year. On one standard way of explaining the difference, sex is biologically given, natural, the raw material on which culture and society can do their work. Gender is the result of that work, the social significance that we invest in sex. Nature gives us our sexed bodies, and “gender is the cultural meanings that the sexed body assumes.”

That last line is from Judith Butler’s Gender Trouble, the book at the pinnacle of the gender studies canon. According to the European Graduate School’s brief biography of Butler, she is “one of the most challenging thinkers of our time.” Since the previous paragraph seems quite sensible and not especially challenging, you might guess that Butler disagrees with it.

Indeed she does. According to Butler, nature gives us something, a kind of clay that can be molded by cultural norms and power structures, but it doesn’t give us sexed bodies any more than it gives us police officers, people who identify as genderqueer, or professors of philosophy. Sex is not a purely biological matter, it is in part a social or cultural one; it is socially (or culturally) “constructed.” As she puts it in Gender Trouble: “perhaps this construct called ‘sex’ is as culturally constructed as gender.” This is a Butlerian “perhaps” — she evidently means to endorse it. Green, for her part, does not — she also tweeted “sex is not a social construct!”

If Butler is right, then radical possibilities open up. If we construct sex, we might be able to demolish it, or construct it differently. The idea that sex is socially constructed did not originate with Butler, but her influence has been enormous, both in academia and popular culture. You can find the idea endorsed in sociology, gender studies, and philosophy — it sometimes even makes an appearance in psychology. (Biology is an exception — the biologists are apparently not up to speed with the latest discoveries.) Whenever sex and gender are the topic online, “sex is a social construction” is likely to be a bone of contention sooner or later.

But what does this slogan mean, precisely? Why does it matter? And is it true?

Let’s take our three questions in order.

What Does It Mean To Say That Sex Is A Social Construction? Start with sex, which is shorthand for the categories female and male. So the thesis that sex is socially constructed can be better put like this: the categories female and male are socially constructed. Categories are basically the same as the properties (or features, or attributes) of things. My cat Maisie is furry — equivalently, she has the property of being furry. In other words, furriness is one of her features or attributes. Said another way, Maisie belongs to the category furry.

But what does it mean to say that a category is socially constructed? The terminology of “social construction” is often thrown around so carelessly that its intended meaning is impossible to divine, but there is one clear answer that corresponds closely with what Butler has in mind. A socially constructed category is a category that meets this condition: If an object belongs to the category, the object must exist (or have existed) within a society or social organization.

As the philosopher (and my colleague) Sally Haslanger puts it in her book Resisting Reality: Social Construction and Social Critique, in order for an object to belong to a socially constructed category it “must exist within a social matrix.”¹ The relevant kind of “social matrix,” or social organization, needs to be of a human-like level of complexity — ants are social insects, but do not exist within a social matrix in Haslanger’s sense.

That’s a bit abstract; some examples will help. Consider the categories engagement ring, planet, and queen. Engagement ring is a socially constructed category: if something is an engagement ring, then it must exist (or have existed) within a society with the institution of marriage — a band of silver could be found in pre-social nature, but not an engagement ring.

How long will the marriage last?! I give it one year at maximum

Christine McVie: "I believe deep in Stevie's heart she would like you to come home."

Cute couple!

Fuck.

He's 85. He's been living in a retirement home but goes to the hospital every couple of months because he gets fluid in his lungs. They drain it out, he gets better and goes back to the home.

But now he's doing poorly in the hospital and my sister says he's in a "deep sleep". I asked "Coma? brain dead?" and she said no. But he hasn't woke-up in days, doesn't respond when called to or roused.

So today they were going to put a feeding tube into his stomach. I cynically believe the hospital wants to keep him there as long as possible because they're making a lot of money off him. But I think he's ready for hospice.

What does this all sound like?

And I want ALL the dirt, bitches.

...except he's kinda hot, so I'm torn. --------------------------------- A Texas judge on Monday accepted a plea bargain allowing a former Baylor University student accused of raping a woman at a fraternity party to avoid serving jail time, marking at least the third time the judge has approved probation for men accused of sexually assaulting Baylor students.

Judge Ralph Strother's decision to accept the plea deal sparked outrage from the woman who accused Jacob Walter Anderson of repeatedly raping her. The woman says she was plied with a drink of punch at the party in 2016 and became disoriented. Anderson, the woman said, led her behind a tent and assaulted her while she was gagged and choked.

"He stole my body, virginity and power over my body," the woman said in court, according to a family spokesman.

Anderson had been indicted on sexual assault charges and the deal allowed him to plead no contest to a lesser charge of unlawful restraint. A no contest plea means a person does not admit guilt, but will offer no defense. Anderson was expelled from Baylor after a university investigation.

The deal allows Anderson to receive deferred probation. The ex-Phi Delta Theta president agrees to seek counseling and pay a $400 fine. Anderson will not be forced to register as a sex offender.

The woman told authorities she was assaulted until she lost consciousness and police reported Anderson left her alone. Police said she had vomited on herself and could have choked to death in the backyard.

She has not been named and The Associated Press generally does not naming possible victims of sexual assault.

"I not only have to live with his rape and the repercussions of the rape, I have to live with the knowledge that the McLennan County justice system is severely broken," the family statement quoted the woman as saying. "I have to live with the fact that after all these years and everything I have suffered, no justice was achieved."

Anderson's attorneys declined to comment Monday.

McLennan County District Attorney Abel Reyna defended the plea deal in October.

"This office stands by the plea offered and believes we have achieved the best result possible with the evidence at hand," Reyna said.

He said that evidence did not support the allegation that the victim may have been drugged.

Judge Strother said Monday that in making the decision he had the benefit of arguments filed by attorneys on both sides and a background report assembled by a probation department. He said much of the comments he saw on social media or in emails were "not fully informed, misinformed or totally uninformed."

I’m debating on whether to include Ft. Lauderdale since it’s a sister city. We can see how it goes.

But what I am mostly interested in is a ground report of what it’s like in Miami and South Beach etc...

I used to go when it was a gay hotspot (years ago).

I’d like to go this winter but I have no idea what to expect.

...and still drinking.

Do you use a smart phone app, a notepad, post-it notes?

What works best for you?

I use the Apple Reminders list for longer term goals, but it doesn't give me the satisfaction of writing something down on paper and then crossing it out, which I use for planning my daily tasks.

Luke Evans is FINALLY out and PROUD!

What do we know about him?

Good job with the crossfit, boo. I see you, I see you.

BF and I are considering a last minute-ish jaunt over to PV in November. Great deals on this place right now and I’m intrigued given its central location in Zona Romántica. We’ve never been ourselves and just want to lounge by the pool and beach and frolic about the nightlife for a few days. Unfortunately, the hotel itself has horrible reviews. Can anyone shed some light and/or offer similar recommendations?

Not looking for the luxe experience this time around. I’m certain Casa Cupula will be recommended but it looks stuffy and small, including the pool, and set in from the beach.

We’re in our 40s. Not models but not grotesque either. Both friendly and outgoing but not scene types, if that helps with the demographics of any recommendations.

Fox News anchor Heather Nauert has been hired by the State Department to be its spokeswoman. Nauert, 47, has been a news anchor on “Fox & Friends” since 2012 and has been with Fox News and local New York Fox affiliate Fox 5 for most of the past 20 years, save for a two-year stint at ABC News from 2005-2007.

“The Department of State is pleased to welcome Heather Nauert as the new State Department spokesperson,” a State Department announcement said. “Nauert comes to the department with more than 15 years of experience as an anchor and correspondent covering both foreign and domestic news and events, including the 9/11 terror attacks, the war in Iraq, and the genocide in Darfur, Sudan.

“Heather's media experience and long interest in international affairs will be invaluable as she conveys the administration's foreign policy priorities to the American people and the world,” the statement said. Before announcing his candidacy, President Trump had appeared on the Fox morning show as a weekly guest over the course of several years.

Starts off so innocent and then... yeah...

Part 12 reached capacity, so here is Part XIII.

Such an underrated show. Louis C.K.'s masterwork.

Thoughts?

Amberlynn, Chrissy, Tess, Sara, I think we are going to lose at least one in 2019. How can we help?

It’s been 20 years (!) since this movie was released, to the collective yawn of America. Have you seen it? Does it deserve the indifference it received?

THIS WASN'T THE FIRST time that David had tried to amputate his leg. When he was just out of college, he’d tried to do it using a tourniquet fashioned out of an old sock and strong baling twine.

David locked himself in his bedroom at his parents’ house, his bound leg propped up against the wall to prevent blood from flowing into it. After two hours the pain was unbearable, and fear sapped his will.

Undoing a tourniquet that has starved a limb of blood can be fatal: injured muscles downstream of the blockage flood the body with toxins, causing the kidneys to fail. Even so, David released the tourniquet himself; it was just as well that he hadn’t mastered the art of tying one.

Failure did not lessen David’s desire to be rid of the leg. It began to consume him, to dominate his awareness. The leg was always there as a foreign body, an impostor, an intrusion.

He spent every waking moment imagining freedom from the leg. He’d stand on his “good” leg, trying not to put any weight on the bad one. At home, he’d hop around. While sitting, he’d often push the leg to one side. The leg just wasn’t his. He began to blame it for keeping him single; but living alone in a small suburban townhouse, afraid to socialise and unable to form relationships, David was unwilling to let anyone know of his singular fixation.

“It got to the point where I’d come into my house and just cry,” he had told me earlier over the phone. "I’d be looking at other people and seeing that they already have their lives going good for them. And I’m stuck here, all miserable. I’m being held back by this strange obsession. The logic going through my head was that I need to take care of this now, because if I wait any longer, there is not much chance of a life for me.”

It took some time for David to open up. Once he opened up, he discovered that he was not alone. He found a community on the Internet of others who were also desperate to excise some part of their body — usually a limb, sometimes two. These people were suffering from what is now called Body Integrity Identity Disorder (BIID).

The online community has been a blessing to those who suffer from BIID, and through it many discover that their malaise has an official name. With a handful of websites and a few thousand members, the community even has its internal subdivisions: “devotees” are fascinated by or attracted to amputees, often sexually, but don’t want amputations themselves; “wannabes” strongly desire an amputation of their own. A further delineation, “need-to-be,” describes someone whose desire for amputation is particularly fierce.

It was a wannabe who told David about a former BIID patient who had been connecting other sufferers to a surgeon in Asia. For a fee, this doctor would perform off-the-book amputations. David contacted this gatekeeper on Facebook, but more than a month passed without a reply. As his hopes of surgery began to fade, David’s depression deepened. The leg intruded more insistently into his thoughts. He decided to try again to get rid of it himself.

This time he settled for dry ice, one of the preferred methods of self-amputation among the BIID community. The idea is to freeze the offending limb and damage it to the point that doctors have no choice but to amputate. David drove over to his local Walmart and bought two large trashcans. The plan was brutal, but simple. First, he would submerge the leg in a can full of cold water to numb it. Then he would pack it in a can full of dry ice until it was injured beyond repair.

He bought rolls of bandages, but he couldn’t find the dry ice or the prescription painkillers he needed if he was going to keep the leg in dry ice for eight hours. David went home despondent, with just two trashcans and bandages, preparing himself mentally to go out the next day to find the other ingredients. The painkillers were essential; he knew that without them he would never succeed. Then, before going to bed that night, he checked his computer.

There it was: a message. The gatekeeper wanted to talk.

I was just thinking about Louie Anderson today, his cartoon show Life awith Louie rocked. I see he’s now playing a Zach Gilafanakis’ mom on “baskets” and won an Emmy for it.

Any gossip on him? He’s gotta be family right.

Trump refuses to sign it - do you support him on this?

Reactions, anybody?

Is she still a Scientologist?

I have elderly family members and want to get them a gift. They have everything but like snacks and cookies, etc.

I've ordered them Harry and David numerous times but want to get them something new. Does anyone have suggestions for places that sell similar items and do nice gift packages?

(No Hickory Farms please....ewwwwww)

I do.

I had been dating my partner for about 4 months, and I knew this was going to be longterm.

My job sent me to a conference in Orlando, and I took my partner (Bf at the time) with me. By mistake, my job booked us in a hotel for families with kids-- the rooms all had bunkbeds, video game consoles, and were decorated in kid themes.

My previous bf would have freaked and started yelling, so I was on guard for my new bf's reaction.

He just laughed and went with the flow. It was at that moment that I knew I loved him.

Dancing With The Stars is not returning early next year.

The long-running dance competition reality series will not air in Spring 2019, E! News confirmed on Wednesday (December 12).

PHOTOS: Check out the latest pics of Dancing With The Stars

While the show typically premieres in the spring following the end of The Bachelor, Dancing With The Stars is now expected to return in the fall.

The show was met with mixed response in 2018 after crowning DJ Bobby Bones as its latest winner, including Neil Patrick Harris, who issued a diss on social media.

She shits on a subway platform and he makes her clean it up.

Why do women think that's ok? What the fuck is WRONG with them?

At least 17 workers at an Amazon warehouse in New Jersey have been hospitalized after a bear repellent canister fell off a shelf and sprayed them.

Nearly 80 workers in total are being treated by emergency responders at the warehouse in Robbinsville, N.J., for difficulty breathing and burning in the eyes due to the repellant, according to the North Jersey Record.

Anyone else watch this during the holidays? Robert Reed releases his inner queen throughout.

Hold me, Ga- I-I mean Steadman.

I'm Bea's animosity toward Betty.

"Vivien Leigh, who had played Blanche in the London stage production, was brought over from England for the movie, and I’ve always thought it was perfect casting. In many ways she was Blanche. Like Blanche, she slept with almost everybody and was beginning to dissolve mentally and to fray at the ends physically. I might have given her a tumble if it hadn’t been for Larry Olivier. I’m sure he knew she was playing around, but like a lot of husbands I’ve known, he pretended not to see it, and I liked him too much to invade his chicken coop."

1. Joni Mitchell, I think this is a given. I think even people who dislike her music accept her influence. talent and importance, so who takes the other 4 places?

2. Kate Bush, Hounds of Love was decades ahead of its time, her experimentation with mainstream art pop to the degree and sonic success is astounding.

3. Tori Amos, a prodigious talent, perhaps the most valid musical genius the the truest sense of the word, out of the box persona, the impressionistic and lyrical architecture of her 4 90s albums, mixed with incredibly technically ability have influenced more musicians than people realize.

4. Billie Holiday, I don't know much about her, other than her amazing idiosyncratic and stirring vocals, so it feels right for her to be placed on the list.

5. Madonna, I dislike her and her music greatly, but accept that she has had a huge influence of pop culture / celebrity and its relationship with music, perhaps more than anyone else

Are there any disappearances that fascinate you?

MMPH... I couldn't care less about "The Amazing Race--Season 27". Viola Davis... you won, honey. SIT DOWN! I have no interest in identifying a model or discussing the nearly 50 year old movie; "Valley Of The Dolls". Jim Carrey, I'm sorry for your loss, but I couldn't care less... I like, "The Official Philadelphia Gay Bashing Thread", "Empire-Season 2" "Downton Abbey", and some others. I ADORE "Men Showing Affection To Each Other".

But... Jockstraps? Talking about jockstraps? Looking at HOT MEN and even women in jockstraps? NOW, you have my attention!!!

This thread is about jockstraps. Don't bring that other mess in here! It's a definitely Not Safe For Work (NSFW) thread, but I will respect others and not lead off with an image. Let's get to crackin' men!

If you ran a very small business in which you only had one full-time employee & that person was the one who did 95% of the interactions with all your customers & had been working for you for years & a dispute arose between this employee & a client & the client confronted you with evidence of the employee having been a major fuckup & troublemaker & pathological liar, what would be the least jarring way for that client to share that information with you?

In 2018, 15 years after becoming eligible, Devo was nominated for the Rock ‘N’ Roll Hall of Fame. The honorees will be announced a week from today. I was immediately struck by the timing of our sudden recognition: When Devo formed more than 40 years ago, we never dreamed that two decades into the 21st century, everything we had theorized would not only be proven, but also become worse than we had imagined. For me, Devo has been a long journey littered with broken dreams, but the nomination compelled me to put things in perspective. I know that many are called but few are chosen.

What should our next production be?

Shockingly bad writing. Every character is a cartoon.

It makes Steel Magnolias seem like King Lear.

And I knew exactly where it was going.

Just more ham-fisted "Obesity is Glamorous!" propaganda.

Cheap ass bitch.

Woww

Read the details, it's hysterical.

And do you like his LA home?

Premiered today. Anyone watching?

An impressive mash-up.

By the way, that guy is REALLY in there.

I’ve seen these two images a few times but no one seems to know who it is. I am curious about him and wanna see his videos.

He has a beautiful hole and perfect balls.

We certainly have enough of them in the news lately: Donald Trump, Harvey Weinstein, Kevin Spacey. All of them persistently antisocial, with impaired empathy and remorse, and bold, disinhibited, egotistical traits; cold and calculating, and sometimes even charming; callous and manipulative.

Who else would you think fits this bill among celebrities? I would guess:

Mel Gibson

Roseanne Barr

Sean Penn

Madonna

O.J. (of course)

Rapscallion.

A guy nearby orders a lunch item pronouncing it "pro-shoot-toe" and you have to stifle the urge to tell him it's pronounced "Pruh-Shoot"!

(Yes, he's cute)

Seriously. See attached pics. (And in case you're unfamiliar with Bumble, it's a dating app founded by former Tinder execs.)

I have no reason to believe it's *not* Brodie (real name Derek). He lives in my city, Austin, and one of his pics shows him in front of a bridge that's a local landmark. Like he suggested in his comments in the second Bumble pic, I Googled him and found out that he outed Conde Nast's CFO (who was married - to a woman - with three kids) to Gawker back in 2015, after the CFO backed out of an escorting arrangement, and then SUED Conde Nast for libel and slander! Long-ass story - I'll post the link to a gay blog piece I discovered during my Googling down-thread.

But still ... he's a hot porn who's "interested" in me in some capacity. Yes, obviously he could be looking for a sugar daddy of some sort, but I'm only vaguely familiar with him and figured DLers would know the scoop. Should I engage? Steer clear? Btw his profile makes it sounds like he's "straight," but everything else about him suggests otherwise. And yeah, obviously his listed age is ridiculous.

The chief financial officer of Chinese tech giant Huawei has been arrested in Canada. She faces extradition to the United States. Meng Wanzhou, also known as Sabrina Meng and Cathy Meng, was apprehended in Vancouver on December 1, according to Canadian Justice Department spokesman Ian McLeod. In addition to her role as CFO, Meng serves as deputy chairwoman of Huawei's board. She's the daughter of Huawei founder Ren Zhengfei. Meng "is sought for extradition by the United States, and a bail hearing has been set for Friday," McLeod said in a statement, which was first reported by The Globe and Mail. McLeod said the Canadian Justice Department can't share details of the case. Meng was granted a publication ban after a judge agreed to bar both police and prosecutors from releasing information about the case. A Huawei spokesperson said Meng was detained by Canadian authorities on behalf of the United States when she was transferring flights in Canada. Huawei said she faces unspecified charges in the Eastern District of New York. The Wall Street Journal reported in April that the US Justice Department was investigating whether Huawei violated US sanctions on Iran. "The company has been provided very little information regarding the charges and is not aware of any wrongdoing by Ms. Meng," the spokesperson said. "The company believes the Canadian and US legal systems will ultimately reach a just conclusion. Huawei complies with all applicable laws and regulations where it operates, including applicable export control and sanction laws and regulations of the UN, US and EU." The US Justice Department declined to comment Wednesday. A spokesperson for the Chinese embassy in Canada issued a statement urging the United States and Canada to "immediately correct the wrongdoing and restore the personal freedom of Ms. Meng Wanzhou." "We will closely follow the development of the issue and take all measures to resolutely protect the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese citizens," the statement said. The Chinese company, which sells smartphones and telecommunications equipment around the world, has been facing increased scrutiny in the United States and other countries, where officials have warned of potential national security risks from using Huawei products. The United States is concerned that the Chinese government could be using Huawei's networking technology to spy on Americans. Senator Ben Sasse, a Republican from Nebraska, said Americans are "grateful" to Canadian authorities for arresting Meng. "Sometimes Chinese aggression is explicitly state-sponsored and sometimes it's laundered through many of Beijing's so-called 'private' sector entities that are in bed with Xi's communist party," he said. Senator Chris Van Hollen — a Democrat from Maryland — said Chinese telecommunications companies "represent a fundamental risk to American national security." "We need a comprehensive plan to hold the Chinese and their state-sponsored entities accountable for gross violations of the law and threats to our security," he said.

Exhibit A

In male gay culture, a bear is often a larger, hairier man who projects an image of rugged masculinity. Bears are one of many LGBT communities with events, codes, and a culture-specific identity. However, in San Francisco in the 1970s any hairy man of whatever shape was referred to as a 'bear' until the term was appropriated by larger men and other words had to be found to describe hairy other-shaped men such as otter (slim) or wolf (medium-build).

Jack Fritscher notes that bears celebrate "secondary sexual characteristics of the male: facial hair, body hair, proportional size, baldness". Over the years, bear culture has subdivided itself. Many claim discrimination has increased within the bear community, as some men who self-identify as "bears" or "musclebears" do not welcome higher-bodyfat men (see chub) at their events. A common criticism of the bear community is that some self-described bears tend to exclude men who do not fit their standards of a "real bear". Fat (or lack of it) is seen by some as a political issue, some of whom see their overweight condition as a form of self-acceptance. Some also note a lack of racial diversity in the bear community, perceiving hirsuteness to be a standard of physical attractiveness that genetically favors white men aesthetically, socially and sexually among bears.

Hey All: I have a futon in my NYC apartment living room which is for guests to use; however, it is too low to sit on when watching tv. Any ideas how to raise this higher (about 6 inches would be nice) without building a platform. It was inexpensive and not worth a DYI project. Thank you.

Since Tumblr is no more, who are your favorite shameless Twitter whores?

I'm always surprised he's not discussed more on Datalounge. He was so notorious when I was growing up--his films, often based on biographical stories, were always so controversial. They were often about sexuality and hysteria, and often the Catholic Church. He was particularly interested in men's sexuality and the objectification of male bodies, as in WOMEN IN LOVE, THE MUSIC LOVERS, THE DEVILS (pictured below--with Russell framed between Oliver Reed and Vanessa Redgrave), VALENTINO, GOTHIC, and SALOME'S LAST DANCE. he was famous for his lurid bad taste but also for his love of fine actors, like Vanessa Redgrave and Glenda Jackson. I was always sure he had to be gay, but he had three wives and eight children among them.

Baby strollers, Starbucks and bicycles- oh my!

I used to hook up there up until a few years ago. Lots of "straight" married guys and others on the DL looking for NSA fun. I saw more wedding rings than the Diamond District LOL. As the weather gets warmer, I've been thinking about going back. Something so hot, animalistic and dangerous about doing it outdoors. I think we all know that the thrill of being caught is a huge rush. So what's the scene like?

I don’t know if the protesters understood that the fuel tax will save the children from being baked into oblivion at birth by a superheated climate.

CBS Sunday Morning recently interviewed popular rapper Cardi B, whose star is shining brighter than ever in today’s music industry.

Of Dominican-Trinidadian heritage, she was born in The Bronx, NY. She was raised in humble circumstances, and wasn't always a well-behaved girl - she was rebellious, a trouble-maker in school, and was even part of a gang for a while. Unable to hold on to her restaurant job, she became a stripper, and did so quite proudly.

She's not an educated speaker, which she admits to ("some of the words I use aren't even in the dictionary"). But she's extremely charming, and her fans adore her for both her sincerity and relatability. She's a diamond-in-the-rough who's now reaching the heights of mainstream respectability.

Watch the interview, and see for yourself.

It looks interesting. How does it feel like?

I say this as a liberal who left it a few years ago.

Any other refugees from its intolerably nauseating finger-wagging?

The news follows the actor's arrest and dismal ratings for the talk show. ABC's patience with The Alec Baldwin Show has ended.

The network has pulled its remaining episodes of the pretaped talk show from its home on Sundays at 10 p.m., effective Nov. 18. Unaired new episodes of the series, hosted by Baldwin, will resume airing on in its new time slot on Saturdays, starting Dec. 8 at 10 p.m. Production on all the remaining episodes has already been completed.

In the interim, ABC will air repeats of Shark Tank in The Alec Baldwin Show's Sunday at 10 p.m. slot starting Nov. 18. On Sunday, Dec. 2 at 10 p.m., ABC will air The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show Holiday Special, with The Sound of Music set for 7 p.m. Eastern on Sunday, Dec. 16.

The news follows Baldwin's arrest following a parking lot altercation in New York and dismal viewership for his ABC talker. The series, which aired a backdoor pilot of sorts in March following the Oscars, kicked off its season in October to a lackluster 2 million same-day viewers. Its Nov. 4 broadcast dipped to less than 1.5 million total viewers.

"We're making a good show here," Baldwin told The Hollywood Reporter in a recent cover story. The actor recognized at the time that the series might not last and hedged: "I mean, who knows if we survive? ABC's not doing very well. We could get out there, show four or five episodes, and be dead."

The Alec Baldwin Show is the first new program of the season to be downgraded from its initial episode order/time slot in what has been a lackluster fall season. No other new series — scripted or unscripted — has been pulled from the schedule or moved time slots.

"Stick with the winners" "Some are sicker than others" So much smugness. Anyone here relate or want to add some other shaming slogans?

Inspired by the David Deluise nude leaks......have you ever encountered any c-list actors, local newscasters and the like, on grindr? Any good stories?

Children are dying in Yemen, France is having a meltdown, the UK is struggling with Brexit, another guy was caught plotting to blow up Jewish Temples in Ohio and all NBC news is covering is Cohen being sentenced to 3 years in jail.

I know how important this is. I hope Muller really does have the smoking gun and that Roger Stone, Julian Assange Don Jr. and eventually POTUS get indicted. I’m just tired of them ignoring the rest of the news. World and Regional.

They had to hit the pause button for G HW Bush last week and it was the classy thing to do.

I dislike many of the CNN shows because there are just too many people in panel. It’s exhausting. I dislike FOX because, well it’s FOX and I still see it if I don’t get to work early enough to change the channel. Boss watches FOX 24/7 and so do a lot of family.

I love NBC news and alongside the BBC I think they do they best job but I’m sick of just seeing things about this investigation —that has been moving at a snails pace. Again. That’s fine, keep me informed but that’s not all that’s going on in the world.

Since 2016 I’ve been listening to Kyle Kulinski of Secular Talk. We’re the same age and he’s handsome but pretty far left. Randi Rhodes’ show in the afternoons is entertaining sometimes and she does a lot of research but there’s a reason she’s doing a YouTube show with 2500 listeners tops.

I still listen to Ben Shapiro about twice a week just to see what the right is up to. Yesterday it was all about how we shouldn’t want our kids to be gay. Because of the adversity (that Bens side causes) and other factors that just make life harder. There was nothing about how to deal with a child if they are gay or acceptance since I’ve heard him say on the show that he thinks conversation therapy should be left up to the parents.... He also called Boy Erased anti-Christian. It’s funny how he never goes into his theories about why Jesus was chosen as the one that Christians follow in present day as opposed to another person from that area at the same time that fits a lot of the same descriptions. Oh, wait, most of his audience is Christian… It’s funny how he never goes into his theories about why Jesus was chosen as the one that Christians following present day as opposed to another person from that area at the same time that fits a lot of the same descriptions. Oh, wait, most of his audience is Christian…

News without spin is a thing of the past.

Justin Trudeau has issued a directive related to the prosecution of HIV non-disclosure cases

People Living with HIV who are undetectable WILL NOT be changed for non-disclosure because there is no realistic possibility of transmission;

In issuing the Directive, the Government of Canada recognizes the over-criminalization of HIV non-disclosure discourages many individuals from being tested and seeking treatment, and further stigmatizes those living with HIV or AIDS.

This Directive is a real step toward ensuring an appropriate and evidence-based criminal justice system response to cases of HIV non-disclosure. In so doing, it will harmonize federal prosecutorial practices with the scientific evidence on risks of sexual transmission of HIV while recognizing that non-disclosure of HIV is first and foremost a public health matter.

So I only have one thing to say to American DLers

JEALOUS AMERICAN BITCHES?

I took a vacation to Miami for a week this past September, and Dear Lord there are so so so many beautiful men. Beautiful Hispanic men in particular. Boy was I a whore that week (there was one day I hooked up with 4 guys that day alone).

So thinking back I can’t help but wonder, how many men in a week is TOO many??? Did I have TOO MUCH fun? God knows there was only one day that I didn’t hook up at all, my last night there.

I also posted a photo of my favorite person to play with out there. Woof.

I remember Josh Brolin did an interview on The Tonight Show while promoting “Gangster Squad” and he sort of made fun of Ryan Gosling and mentioned how he’s a Canadian with a New York accent and basically called him a poser. He’s not lying. I’m shocked so many people eat up the fake persona that is Ryan Gosling and also fall for his “natural” beauty as if he didn’t get any work done. He did. Look at those nose.

Ryan Gosling is 100% a fake persona. Y’all eat it up though.

Or is it a given and a must?

Continuing the DL tradition.

I'm curious if any lesbians who never were with a man before, decided to give dick a try after having been with women their entire lives, perhaps curious to see what it was like, or maybe got drunk and did it with a friend.

I knew two guys who tried sex with women late in life due to the two scenarios listed above.

I'm curious if this has happened to any of our resident lesbians.
