So many of the myths of the genteel antebellum South come from Margaret Mitchell’s imagination than reality. The driver of that car did us a favor before she could publish more revisionist swill.

New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani talks about his campaign promises, criticisms over his tax plan and charges of antisemitism, during an exclusive interview with Meet the Press.

Rozentals says he was suspended from his funded training programme because he makes what have been described as "edgy videos"

Kurt Adams Rozentals, a canoeist who has been training to compete on behalf of Great Britain at the 2028 Olympic Games in canoe slalom, says that his hopes have been dashed thanks to him launching an OnlyFans account.

The 22 year old athlete had previously been part of Paddle UK’s funded training programme for Olympic hopefuls until he was suspended in April.

The organisation have referred to the suspension as an “interim action” which is designed to “safeguard other athletes, staff, and volunteers due to the nature of the allegation”. It has not made clear exactly what the “allegation” against Rozentals is, however its disciplinary policy list does include “offensive use of social media and indecent, offensive or immoral behaviour” as examples of gross misconduct.

The canoeist has said that he only started in the account on January of this year in order to cover the costs of his training, as the £16,000 he received a year on the programme was not enough to pay for his needs.

“At the end of the day, I started this to help with the sport, and it certainly is helping when I’m on the start line, and I’m not having to worry about rent and food on the table. It’s a good feeling,” he said in an interview with Sky News.

In an emotional post on social media last month, Rozentals wrote that he “might lose [his] sports career.” He went on write: “i started making what they now describe “edgy videos”, with the focus to grow a following, because trying to live on the salary PaddleUK pays their athletes is near impossible.”

Article is from 2024 - The book Unhumans, by Jack Posobiec and Joshua Lisec, is a fascist manifesto. It argues that the “Great Men of History” should take their cues from homicidal dictators like Augusto Pinochet and Francisco Franco, reject reason and democracy, and ruthlessly annihilate the gangs of communist “unhumans” who are currently threatening to destroy the United States. It explicitly advocates “eye for an eye” justice, promising a new McCarthyism complete with blacklists, along with the immediate banning of all teachers’ unions. It is perhaps the most paranoid, hateful, and terrifying book I have ever picked up. (I say this as someone who has read Mein Kampf.) And it comes with a warm and supportive blurb from Ohio senator J.D. Vance, who is currently the Republican party’s vice presidential nominee. Vance had this to say of Unhumans:

"In the past, communists marched in the streets waving red flags. Today, they march through HR [Human Resources], college campuses, and courtrooms to wage lawfare against good, honest people. In Unhumans, Jack Posobiec and Joshua Lisec reveal their plans and show us what to do to fight back."

Unhumans is both a manifesto and a guide for action. Its central argument, which I will state as dispassionately as possible, is that leftists are not fellow human beings who should be accepted as part of a pluralistic society, but rather “unhumans” bent on destroying the civilized order. Citing the usual parade of 20th century communist dictators (Mao, Lenin, Stalin, Pol Pot), Posobiec and Lisec argue that even if it may not look like the contemporary United States is under threat from a communist revolution, we are under threat, besieged by furtive, scheming unhumans who must be rooted out before they can consummate their fiendish plot to commit mass murder. Stopping the unhumans will require shedding commitments to democracy, free speech, reasoned debate, and tolerance of alternate points of view. Instead, they argue, the right should find its role models in Caesar, Joseph McCarthy, and various murderous anti-communist dictators of the 20th century.

Like I say, I’ve tried to put this fairly dispassionately. But it’s incredibly disturbing, and argued very seriously in the book, which repeatedly praises Spanish dictator Francisco Franco—who, let us remember, was responsible for “mass killings, torture and the systematic, general and illegal detentions of political opponents.” Franco’s White Terror killed hundreds of thousands of people, based on Franco’s notion of “social cleansing,” and “turned the country into an immense prison.” How do Posobiec and Lisec rationalize their praise of dictators? Essentially, they argue that to stop communism, ugly means are required. They advocate what they call “the Iron Law of Exact Reciprocity,” which means, essentially, do unto others what they have done unto you, no matter how horrible...

When are we going to stop pretending that these people aren’t psychopaths? Of course mommy doesn’t want to believe that their child can be dangerous but honestly, isn’t it time to call a spade a spade? Not every person with autism is going to kill but it definitely ups the chances of them doing something horrible as they can’t pick up on social cues and can’t relate to emotions or feelings, not to mention that they usually end up as social outcasts.

According to The Telegraph, King Charles has made a conscious effort to include not only Harry but also Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, and their children, Prince Archie, 6, and Princess Lilibet, 3, in his long-term funeral arrangements.

Sources indicate that the Sussex family is considered integral to these plans. Harry is expected to walk alongside his brother, William, during the formal processions through London.

Both he and Meghan will be invited to participate in the family vigil during the monarch's lying-in-state at Westminster Hall, and they will be given "prominent roles" during the funeral at Westminster Abbey.

I thought I saw this before but it was posted (re-posted?) two days ago.

I like her. She's a good talker, and she's interesting. Notice the Emmy in the background.

There's actually another good interview--I'll try to find it.

Apparently, in 2026.

Glastonbury Festival organisers said they are "appalled" by comments made by punk duo Bob Vylan that called for "death" to the Israeli military during a performance on Saturday.

Rapper Bobby Vylan led chants of "free, free Palestine" and "death, death to the IDF [Israel Defense Forces]".

The festival said the statements "very much crossed a line", while antisemitism campaigners said they will formally complain to the BBC over its "outrageous decision" to broadcast the act live.

A BBC spokesperson previously said some of the comments were "deeply offensive", adding it had issued a warning on screen about "very strong and discriminatory language". The set will not be available on BBC iPlayer.

Ben "Lucky" Schlappig is a successful airline blogger, writing about airline seats, frequent flyer programs, hotels, etc. He's memorable on DL for his anecdote about once being so "gay famous" that a male flight attendant tried to jerk him off on a red-eye flight. He has an exhaustive knowledge of aviation and air travel programs, and is on the spectrum. It's charming, but also a little offbeat. Reporters who've interacted with Ben have found him polite enough, but socially awkward and maladjusted when talking about anything outside of air travel.

Anywho, a few years ago, he and his trust fund hubby had their first surro-brat, and they named him Miles. This was a cute wink to the world, given Ben's occupation and genuine obsession.

They've now had their second sprog, this one named "Jet." I'm happy that he's happy, but this second name seems a lot less cute than the first one.

So what do we make of this? Both kids have names that directly reference their father's occupation and personal obsession at the time of their birth.

I love her. How did she not win an Emmy as Janice Soprano? She was the best one on the show!

Let's discuss this underappreciated actress.

According to Billboard Hot 200 Albums info released for this week, Streisand has to sell over 206,000 albums this week of her new release ('Secrets of Life : Partners 2') to top the Album Chart. She will be the only recording artist in history to have a #1 album in seven straight decades (60s, 70s, 80s, 90s. 00s, 10s, 20s). No one will come close.

Can she do it ? Her fan base will have to support her in 'all variants' (vinyl, CD, digital, etc).

Thoughts? There is a poll below.

Starting the new thread.

We're in the final stretch for voting to see who gets an Emmy nomination for the 2024-25 season. Shows which debuted between June 1, 2024 - May 31, 2025 are eligible. Unfortunately, the Emmy favorite 'The Bear' is eligible for Season 3, which premiered on June 25, 2024. I expect 'Matlock' to pick up a handful of nominations, as well.

What are your predictions ?

Bertha wants to sell off Gladys in marriage to the Duke of Buckingham, but last season George Russell promised his daughter she could marry for love. So will Gladys have to marry the Duke?

Across the street, Ada now has all the money has the Van Rhijn household instead of Agnes. So who calls the shots in the household?

Will Marian finally get laid (this time by Larry)?

Will Mrs. Astor ever get even a momentary win in her ongoing war against Bertha? (Answer: Of course not.)

Will the Russell servants never stop adoring their masters 24/7? (Answer: Of course not.)

I need to see that!

DL's AMBIGUOUSLY GAY DUO CALL IT QUITS AFTER 7 YEARS . Despite Kevitch's best efforts inching at coming out.

Jaws opened 50 years ago this month to rave reviews and huge box office. Along with Star Wars, it would go on to define the modern-day blockbuster movie. And produce a slew of sequels.

Roy Scheider is a hot daddy.

Robert Shaw and Lorraine Gary should have been nominated for oscars. Gary should have had a much bigger career.

They wanted $6 million EACH — Jeff said, ‘Put on a playlist.’”

Leave it to Jeff Bezos to throw a $50 million wedding… and still say no to Gaga.

Insiders tell #ShuterScoop that the Amazon founder and his bride Lauren Sánchez went all out for their star-studded Venetian nuptials — but drew the line at one jaw-dropping price tag: $12 million for wedding singers.

“Elton John and Lady Gaga were both approached,” spills one source. “Each wanted $6 million for a single night. Jeff said, ‘Absolutely not.’”

Instead of shelling out the cost of a small moon landing, Bezos tapped DJ Cassidy to spin at the afterparty, held in a historic fortress only

accessible by boat. “The vibe was still luxe,” one guest shrugs. “But everyone was waiting for Gaga to emerge from a gondola or Elton to descend from the sky in Swarovski.”

Instead? Guests danced to ‘Just Dance’ — courtesy of Spotify.

Still, the bride sparkled in her second Dolce & Gabbana gown, and guests toasted into the night with free-flowing champagne. “The couple were the show,” a guest admitted. “But let’s be real — some of us came for Gaga.”

One source summed it up best: “It was the wedding of the year — but don’t expect Beyoncé prices from a man who built his fortune on free shipping.”

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — President Donald Trump will visit a new immigration detention center in the Florida Everglades on Tuesday for what’s expected to be the site’s official opening, showcasing what critics are condemning as an inhumane makeshift prison camp and what supporters are embracing as a national model for aggressively ramping up detention and deportation efforts.

Florida officials have raced to erect the compound of heavy-duty tents, trailers and temporary buildings in a matter of days, as part of the state’s muscular efforts to help carry out Trump’s immigration crackdown.

The facility is located at an isolated airfield about 45 miles (72 kilometers) west of downtown Miami and is surrounded by swamps filled with mosquitoes, pythons and alligators. Dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz” by state officials, supporters say the reference to the notorious federal prison and the harshness of the conditions at the facility are meant to be a deterrent.

Anyone met her? What is she like as a person? Was she really playing for both sides early in her career or was she always ladies only?

“Oh my god, I just want to go home,” Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) told a small gaggle of reporters.

“I’ve missed our entire trip to the beach,” Fetterman said in reference to a family vacation.

He reaffirmed his intention to vote against the package, and — oddly — asserted that “there’s no drama” around the voting process.

Fetterman said, “The only interesting votes are going to be on the margins,” such as Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine), who bills herself as a force of moderation.

Has anyone heard from their Republican friends or family members about how they feel regarding Trump and everything that’s unfolded since he took office? I'm talking about the major issues: the mass deportations, the trade tariffs and their effects on the economy, the dismissal of federal workers, the bombing of Iran, and the sweeping cuts to what he once called the “big, beautiful bill.” And of course, the ongoing influence over the Supreme Court.

How are they reacting to all of this? Are they as angry, disillusioned, or alarmed as many of us are? Or are they still fully on board, supporting and even celebrating the direction things have taken?

Here's an early piece I wrote about the women who wrote the sensational bestsellers of their respective decades, Grace Metalious & Jacqueline Susann, with "Peyton Place" & "Valley of the Dolls."

Based on the most boring, disturbing, etc. film threads. What is the most charming film you've ever seen?

In a December 2024 survey of 1,000 employers by Intelligent.com, 12.5% said a Gen Z candidate had brought Mom or Dad to a job interview. The bosses are fed up. In the Bay Area, the culture clash has led employers to a new solution: hiring etiquette experts to train young employees in basic workplace manners. Rosalinda Randall, a Marin-based etiquette coach, said inquiries have risen 50% over the last two months. The requests come from tech campus managers, winery execs, and even country clubs. All are a variation on the same complaint: Gen Z employees are treating the office like an extension of their homes.

One supervisor told Randall a new hire repeatedly left food wrappers scattered on the communal lunch table, assuming janitors would clean it up. “Their manager didn’t know how to handle it, as they didn’t want to sound like a parent,” said Randall…

… The friction isn’t limited to corporate offices. Hospital managers have told Randall that newly hired nurses are showing signs of apathy and entitlement, that they bristle at overly chatty patients or try to shirk “dirty” tasks. “They demand to be released from bedpan duty,” she said. “They don’t like it, so they think they shouldn’t have to do it.”

Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez’s wedding reportedly didn’t include Lady Gaga’s performance due to the alleged whopping fee the singer demanded.

Earlier, reports suggested that Lady Gaga and Elton John might perform for the attendees, but the groom reportedly said no to the artists.

A source told Rob Shuter’s ShuterScoop that Bezos’ team approached the singers for the event. “Each wanted $6 million for a single night. Jeff said, ‘Absolutely not,'” the insider claimed. However, a guest claimed that some of them “came for Gaga.”

The LGBTQ community is often asked, “Do you need to celebrate Pride anymore with big parades?”

No one ever asks Veterans, Italians, and Irish whether they need to have their big Pride parades.

That said, in NYC, the Pride Parade brings out such a diverse group of LGBTQ community members and supporters that it’s a sight to behold. We are not just a group of great looking, muscle-bound white men as the media portrays us—we are from all walks of life, all races, shapes and sizes. Importantly, there’s political power in numbers.

Keeping visible to our families, friends, and neighbors must continue to be a priority for LGBTQ. The right’s maneuvers to strips our rights depend on our being quiet and embarrassed about ourselves.

In Hungary, the Budapest Pride Parade became a moment of deep resistance to fascism. They want us to shut up and disappear. We will just get louder.

Actor Debra Messing wrote an Islamophobic comment on her Instagram in reference to New York City Democratic mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, claiming that he “celebrated” 9/11.

“I have nothing against Socialism, don’t know where you got that,” Messing, who is known for her role in the sitcom “Will & Grace,” wrote in an Instagram comment replying to a user who called her out for sharing a reel denouncing socialism. “I voted against M because he celebrated 9/11. Let that sink in. I love my country. My reasoning is not Islamophobia. I’ve chosen to live in the most beautifully diverse city in the world. The same people who did 9/11 did Oct. 7. I just don’t want a mayor who sides with terrorists. Oh and he wants to defund the police. And he has no experience. I’ll stop here.”

If elected in November, Mamdani, a democratic socialist and state assemblyman who was born and raised in Uganda before moving to New York City at age 7, would become New York City’s first Muslim mayor. Since his primary win Tuesday, he has faced an influx of Islamophobic threats on social media — some from far-right figures, like Laura Loomer, who wrote on social media that because of his win, New York will face another 9/11.

Messing’s claim that Mamdani, who was 9 years old in September 2001, “celebrated” 9/11 and sides with terrorists seemingly comes from a rap song he wrote in 2017, in which he praised the now-defunct Islamic charity Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development. The five leaders of the group were convicted in 2009 of “providing material support to Hamas,” which the U.S. recognizes as a foreign terrorist organization. A number of human rights organizations in 2022 called for the pardon of the five leaders on the basis that money went to social programs run by Palestinian charities and did not directly fund Hamas.

Mamdani has been critical of Israel’s government, accusing it of committing a genocide in Gaza. His criticism of Israel has led some to call him antisemitic.

“I’ve said at every opportunity that there is no room for antisemitism in this city, in this country,” Mamdani, who also said it “pains” him to be “called an antisemite,” said last week. “I’ve said that because that is something I personally believe.”

Representatives for Messing and Mamdani did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

New York City Comptroller Brad Lander, who is Jewish and ran against Mamdani for Democratic candidate for New York City mayor, wrote on social media that threats against Mamdani are “morally reprehensible.”

Is it possible to vote these two out as minority leaders?

For those of us who believe in science and logic and education, it's so very galling to be forced to entertain the fairy tales of these morons who believe in all-encompassing, omniscient deities in the sky.

We laugh at children who believe in things like Santee Claus and the Easter Bunny after a certain age.

Why do we entertain full-grown adults who believe in things even more malevolent than that?

And the fact that most organized religions are anti-gay is just the sweet little maraschino cherry on top.

Donald Trump has secured commitments for a record-shattering $1.4 billion since Election Day 2024.

Advisors say he will be "an even more dominant force" for Republicans in the 2026 midterms.

The president’s political operation, including the cash on hand at the Republican National Committee, has raised a historic $900 million since November, and other commitments will bring the total to more than $1.4 billion.

Production on the new “Masters of the Universe” movie has wrapped, and to mark the occasion, star Nicholas Galitzine offered up a first look at him in costume as He-Man, the most powerful man in the universe, who must battle the evil Skeletor in this adaptation of the Mattel toy franchise.

“Well, that’s a wrap on ‘Masters of the Universe.’ It has been an honour shouldering the responsibility of playing Adam and He Man,” Galitzine posted on Instagram. “It’s been the role of a lifetime and I put everything into it. There’s not much I can show you, but I am so proud of the movie we’ve made. Thanks to our amazing cast and crew for all your hard work.”

June 28 was Mel Brooks' 99th birthday. The man is a god, and it's absolutely nessa that we honor him at this time.

COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — The eldest son of Norway’s Crown Princess Mette-Marit has been arrested again, this time on suspicion of rape, police said Tuesday.

Marius Borg Høiby is the stepson of the heir to the Norwegian throne, Crown Prince Haakon, and the son of Mette-Marit from a previous relationship. He has no royal title or official duties.

Borg Høiby was arrested late Monday in Oslo on a preliminary charge of having had “sexual intercourse with someone who is unconscious or for other reasons unable to resist the act.” A preliminary charge comes before a formal charge and allows authorities to detain suspects during an investigation.

Police did not say when the alleged rape occurred, but only that “the victim must have been unable to resist the act.” Norwegian media said Borg Høiby denied the accusation.

Hege Salomon, the lawyer for the woman who was allegedly raped, said “she is having a hard time.” She told Norwegian broadcaster NRK that police, not the woman, had brought the case. The woman was not identified.

The royal palace had no comment, the news agency NTB said.

On Aug. 4, police officers responded to a disturbance in downtown Oslo and briefly detained Borg Høiby. He faced preliminary charges of bodily harm and criminal damage and was released. Details were unclear but police said there was “a relationship between the suspect and the victim.”

More preliminary charges have since been filed against Borg Høiby, including violating several restraining orders and driving without a valid driver’s license. In all, the cases involve four women and one man.

The case was top news in Norway, where the royals are popular.

Borg Høiby, 27, lives with the royal couple and their two children, Princess Ingrid Alexandra and Prince Sverre Magnus.

Norway’s future queen made headlines in 2001 when she married Haakon because she was a single mother who had lived a freewheeling life with a companion who had been convicted on drug charges.

Stephen King and director Jack Bender have joined forces again for a new TV thriller "The Institute". Based on King’s best-selling 2019 novel by the same name, Bender said after working together on shows such as crime drama "Mr Mercedes" and sci-fi show "Under the Dome" they were keen to find a new project.

The Institute tells the story of Luke Ellis, a boy who is abducted and wakes up in a mysterious facility called The Institute, where other children with special abilities are held. The series will star Ben Barnes and Mary-Louise Parker, with Joe Freeman as Luke Ellis. "It's a sort of… a slow simmering sort of horrifying thriller rather than a horror," Barnes said.

While the first series covers the book, there are plans to continue. Trailer posted at R1.

Henry Golding seemingly confirmed rumors of an on-set feud between his Another Simple Favor co-stars Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick.

During his and Charlize Theron‘s appearance on the June 26 episode of Watch What Happens Live, host Andy Cohen enlisted them in a game of “1, 2, Agree or Disagree.” Things got shady when Cohen asked whether there’s “usually at least a little bit of truth” behind rumors that two co-stars are clashing on-set — and both actors held up their “agree” signs.

Golding laughed, before coyly adding, “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

I’m struggling to find his name and usually it’s inside the issue. wtf.

I wish this song was a hit in the states back then! My young gay ass would have been blasting this in the late 80s!!! So much fun! I discovered it this week while watching “Baila Como Puedas”. Jaime Astrain danced to this song this week. What a bop! I had to look it up and read the history of Sabrina, who is also on the show.

Sabrina was a teenage Italian primetime soap actress and model who starred in the primetime soap “ Premiatissima” in 1984 at 16 years old. She was then recruited by a music producer at 18 and released her debut single in 1986, which became a Top 20 hit in her native country of Italy but not much of a hit outside of there. The success in Italy led them to sign her to do an album and her debut album came out a year later, in 1987. She was made to sing in English so that her music had potential to breakout throughout all of Europe and even globally and not be limited to Italy and Spanish speaking countries.

The lead single for her debut album (not counting the song that came out a year prior) “Boys (Summertime Love)” would catapult her to fame throughout Europe, with the song being a Top 5 hit in over 10 countries and a #1 hit in Switzerland and France and #3 in the UK. Her debut album would go on to be a huge smash throughout Europe and the video to Boys would solidify her as a sex symbol and make her super popular with teens, especially teenage boys, who plastered her posters all over their walls and her provocative music video a huge hit.

While “Boys” was her biggest hit overall, her song “My Chico” off her sophomore album would be her biggest hit in her home country of Italy.

She continued singing her English pop songs for a few years until 1991, before clashing with her management and label over her wanting more independence and to drop the sexy glamour image she was doing since a teenager. These clashes led to her barely promoting her third album and it flopping along with its singles, and her finally being able to get out of her contract with the label. She took a few years off before releasing a few independent singles in 1994 and 1995 and went back into acting in Italian soaps as well as hosting a couple of shows. She then started her own record label and reinvented herself as a more mature artist and making Italian-sung music, like she wanted to do but her label wouldn’t allow, and now was no longer just Sabrina, but Sabrina Salerno. She has since done numerous hosting jobs, films and tv shows as well as some music, including a re-recording of her smash Boys.

I wasn't familiar with Jesse Adams, a prolific straight porn star from the "Golden Age" of X-rated movies, but reading this interview about his life and his death made me sad. What an awful, traumatic life this man had, and the way he died should simply not happen in this day and age.

I'm always amazed at how The Rialto Report tracks down these forgotten performers and how they tell the stories of their often difficult lives.

Or should I say the plants?

I’m always good for some summer Jerry Bruckheimer, and I loved what Joseph Kosinski did with Top Gun Maverick, but I assumed this would be awful and I am not convinced by the handpicked selection of early reviewers.

To all of the British DLers, whet to her? She was popular for a few years in the 80s in the UK. They tried making her happen here in the states but that never happened. She had a few songs land on the dance charts though.

I always found her to be terrible and annoying but some people liked her!

Plastic. Shallow. So far up his own ass. This is one minor example of the mess he is.

So many folks die from a combination of bad luck and bad decisions.

I have spent more than a few minutes wondering when some random bad choice will take me out.

Meanwhile, Trump puts anything he can into women who are likely carrying the next superbug, eats crap like Big Macs every day, always looks like his head is about to explode from rage because he thinks he is being treated unfairly, and apparently shits his pants frequently.

How in the hell is this asshat still alive?

Deal with the devil?

Monty Burns type situation where all the really bad shit is kind of clogging things up so no particular consequence can be visited upon him, or something else?

If you ever needed proof that there is no god, Trump continuing to breathe rather than being smote is proof.

What do we think?

38 years ago, on June 27, 1987, pop singer Whitney Houston made pop music history. The songstress became the very first female recording artist to debut at the #1 position on the Billboard Hot 200 Albums Chart, where it would sit for 11 weeks. It was the fifth album in history to debut at the top of the Hot 200 Albums Chart.On that same day, her first single off the album - 'I Wanna Dance With Somebody' - also topped the Hot 100 Singles Chart, where it would stay for 2 weeks.

Though the album, and the singles released off the album, were a hit with fans, critics were less than favorable with their reviews. The New York Times criticized Houston for 'playing it safe' and using the same formula (and three producers) from her debut album in 1985. Rolling Stone found the same faults with the album, saying her record label didn't give her a chance to expand and grow from her debut. The LA Times echoed what the previous two said.

After her death in 2012, the album entered the Hot 200 again, this time peaking at #87 (25 years after its release). In the US, the album has received 'Diamond' certification - selling more than 10M units.

He would be NY’s youngest mayor since John Purroy Mitchel in 1914 (also 34; Mamdani turns 34 in October).

Dozens of writers have been arrested in China this year for publishing gay erotica online as law enforcement's crackdown on pornography increasingly targets LGBTQ+ stories.

Police have arrested as many as 50 writers in Gansu in the past several weeks, according to The New York Times, which spoke with two lawyers representing detained authors who said they knew of at least six other cases. Other attorneys told the BBC that at least 30 writers, nearly all of them women in their 20s, have been arrested across the country since February.

Many of the writers were arrested after publishing on the Taiwan-based adult fiction website Haitang Literature, which allows authors to earn money through tips and subscriptions. One of the most popular genres on the website is "danmei" — romantic and sexual relationships between men.

One woman wrote, as first reported by the BBC, "I'll never forget it — being escorted to the car in full view, enduring the humiliation of stripping naked for examination in front of strangers, putting on a vest for photos, sitting in the chair, shaking with fear, my heart pounding."

It kind of looks like it. Did her shirt hike up?

The countries say they are "speaking and acting as one to champion the rights of LGBTQI people"

Foreign ministries from Canada, Australia, Brazil, Columbia and several European countries including Spain, Belgium and Ireland, issued a joint statement in support of LGBTQIA+ rights on Saturday (June 28).

The United States was notably absent from the letter, which was released on International Pride Day.

Attitude has approached the Foreign Office for clarity over the UK’s absence from the letter, but it is worth noting that many key Pride events take place after June, including Pride In London due on 4 July and Brighton Pride from 2-3 August.

The statement condemned violence, criminalisation, stigmatisation and discrimination against LGBTQI+ people, calling them clear violations of human rights.

“We reject all forms of violence, criminalisation, stigmatisation or discrimination” The statement said the countries “are speaking and acting as one to champion the rights of LGBTQI people, at a time when hate speech and hate crimes are on the rise, and in view of efforts to strip LGBTQI people of their rights, we reject all forms of violence, criminalisation, stigmatisation or discrimination, which constitute human rights violations.”

Since Donald Trump was re-elected for his second term in office, the US have banned transgender people from military service, shut down a government-backed LGBTQ+ youth suicide prevention hotline and issued an executive order that the US would only recognise two sexes – male and female.

The statement was released the same day as Budapest’s 30th Pride march, where there were an estimated 200,000 people who defied the governments ban on the city’s LGBTQ+ celebration.

On LBC Radio The Mooch said that if Mamdani wins that Trump will benefit. The midterms will be a whole new ballgame and both houses could see gains. What an idiot. This is as stupid as what he said on LBC a few weeks ago about the Biden revelations in Jake Tapper’s book would end up being “bigger than Watergate.”

“I didn’t audition. I went in and met Barbara Broccoli,” Goode said. “It was quite a funny one because — and she’s gorgeous and just a lovely, lovely person — she was like, ‘So what’s your idea for Bond?’ And I was like, ‘My idea for Bond. We’ve gotta take it back to the books, you know? Really, we absolutely have to make this guy an alcoholic, a drug addict. He hates himself. He hates women. He hates a lot of people. He’s in deep pain. He’s brilliant at killing people.'”

Goode continued, “I think by the end of the interview, she was like, ‘Mhmm. Next.’ I wanted to make it really dark, but what I should have said was, ‘But also incredibly charming.'”

It is a dark time for the very heterosexual city of Los Angeles, in which Hobo Ridge and his wrinkled face somehow still captivates both The Slut from the Valley and yet another recast of his other ho, NuTaylor of Cameltoe. Meanwhile, in LA's sole restaurant, Ill Giordino, vile, despicable mistress of evil, Sheila Carter, makes pizza while bonding with her granddaughter, two-time murderer Luna of the Enormous Panties. Wafting throughout the city is the rank odor of Daphne, a perfume expert who can be smelled twenty miles away, making it impossible for her to eavesdrop on nearby conversations. All are looking for one thing that may heal their galaxy: the cure to Zende's explosion from twink to obese, hoping to stop his expanding girth before he outgrows blouses and transitions into caftans--and possibly blocks out the LA sun. Continue the adventure here, where Liam may be dying, Dollar Bill needs pants that don't give him a muffin top, where Hope is hopeless, and JKW wins another Daytime Emmy just for showing up to work in a bad mood. . .

I had such high expectations for this movie and watched it streaming (9.99) and it was so bad, I couldn’t believe it. I love Nick Kroll and thought it was going to be great and very funny but it wasn’t . I watched with a few people and we all thought the same thing.

The actor, 61, teases the long-awaited sequel to the 1985 film, which follows a group of recent graduates and their adjustment to post-college life.

"We're working on the script, and it's really getting good," teases Lowe, who starred as William "Billy" Hicks, a saxophone-playing frat boy, in the movie.

"I think it's super valid to revisit those characters that continue to mean a lot to people and watch them navigate this chapter of life, because arguably this chapter of life is every bit as interesting and fraught as — 'What do I do when I get out of college?' " continues the star.

Kate has blamed Paloma's death on a cover-up, and in response to the Panorama episode, posted on social media, "Let them all fall on their swords. My silence has been for a reason our silence as her parents has been for a reason.

Does the datalounge agree and think he's hot?

It’s not a fetish, but a kind of man he is drawn to. He admires Asian men very much (my friend is white). He’s been alone for many years, but wants to date. He is afraid that his appreciation for Asian men will be taken the wrong way. What should I do to play matchmaker? I really want to see him be happy after many years of loneliness. He struck me as gay and asexual for so long. He is successful and good-looking and does not want some twink. Ultimately, he is shy and unappreciated. He deserves someone special.

The premiere is out now! I will be watching

President Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney met in person for the first time Tuesday and clashed over the president's ongoing rhetoric about making Canada the 51st state but maintained it wouldn't interfere with talks between the two countries.

"There are some places that are never for sale," Carney said moments after he arrived at the White House and adding of Canada, "It's not for sale, it won't be for sale ever."

Trump, meanwhile, couldn't resist needling his new counterpart. At times, Trump claimed annexation would be good for Canadians and added, "Never say never ... over time, we'll see what happens."

There is no single figure in television history whose longevity and influence match Barbara Walters’.

She became a star on NBC’s “Today” in the early 1960s, raising the stature of the morning franchise. She opened doors for women as a network anchor and turned newsmaker interviews into major television events — 74 million tuned into her 1999 sit-down with Monica Lewinsky. She created one of daytime TV’s longest-running hits with “The View,” which evolved into a major forum for the country’s political discourse.

“The audience size that Barbara was able to capture and harness is unmatched in today’s world,” said Jackie Jesko, director of the new documentary “Barbara Walters: Tell Me Everything,” debuting Monday on Hulu after its premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival earlier this month. “Everything she did sort of made a difference.”

Jesko’s feature — produced by Brian Grazer and Ron Howard’s Imagine Documentaries and ABC News Studios — is the first in-depth look into Walters’ storied career. The film also serves as a sweeping historical review of the decades-long dominance of network news that made figures such as Walters a gatekeeper of the culture, as Jesko describes her.

Before the advent of social media and podcasts that allowed celebrities to control their messages, going through the X-ray machine of a Barbara Walters interview delivered exposure on a massive scale. David Sloan, a longtime ABC News producer who worked with Walters, recalls how the screen images of her specials flickered through the windows of Manhattan apartment towers.

“Tell Me Everything” came together not long after Walters died at the age of 93 in 2022. Sara Bernstein, president of Imagine Documentaries, approached Betsy West, executive producer and co-director of the Julia Child documentary “Julia,” about taking on a Walters project. Sloan, who oversaw an Emmy-winning tribute after Walters’ death, also wanted a deeper exploration into the impact of her career. West, also a former Walters colleague, and Sloan became executive producers on the film. “Tell Me Everything” taps deeply into the ABC News archives, which contain thousands of hours of interviews Walters conducted over her 40 years at the network.

About 2-1/2 hours ago I went out to the front yard to call my three indoor/outdoor cats in for dinner. I called names, and thought I saw my black cat running from across the street, but when I opened the gate in rushed a black puppy instead, his ENTIRE body one big wag. My neighbor's fiance was doing yard work across the street at her house. He saw me and was spitting nails, saying "These two guys just pulled up in front of me, opened the door and THREW that puppy out, looking dead in my face and smirking the whole time!"

I scooped Puppy up, and he immediately snuggled into my neck. Took him inside to a spare room, sat on a sofa with him on my lap. Suuuucch a good little one. Three of the cats are curious-to-indifferent; one just stalks off when Puppy approaches; the last is LIVID.

My question: is it okay to put Pup on the front porch for the night? I don't want nighttime animal drama, plus I don't know Pup's health status. I have several cat beds s/he'd fit, and while I don't have dog food, I have plenty of high-quality cat kibble Pup already seems to love. Of course I have water bowls. Pup would be 1000% safe as long as s/he stays inside the yard, inside the fence line.

Pup is sweet as pie and good as gold. Except he keeps trying to gnaw on my phone charger cable, which is easy to put out of his reach. But I'll give him some cat toys to keep him entertained.

Tomorrow I'll deal with which no-kill shelter to take him to. He really is a big-little ball of total sweetness. Plus his little snuffling noises sound like Snoopy.

Wow, these female basketball players are gorgeous.

When did this happen?

The longtime host of Australian Survivor, Jonathan LaPaglia, stunned fans on Sunday, by revealing he had been fired from his hosting duties after a decade at the helm.

"Australian Survivor has seen some of the most epic blindsides over the last 10 years, but this one might just be the craziest of them all… because it happened to me. I received a call from the network thanking me for all my hard work and dedication to the show but for next season they are ‘going in a different direction’."

LaPaglia shared that Channel 10's reasons for letting him go included declining ratings and a desire to "do something drastic to shake things up. None of that non-elim bulls--t tonight! Someone IS going home. And with no idol in my back pocket, that someone is me."

The Senate Republican tax bill speeding to passage includes the biggest reduction of funding for the federal safety net since at least the 1990s, targeting more than $1 trillion in social spending.

Although the legislation is still estimated to cost more than $3 trillion over the next decade, the Senate GOP tax bill partially pays for its large price tag by slashing spending on Medicaid and food stamps, which congressional Republicans maintain are rife with fraud.

The tax bill centers on making permanent large tax cuts for individual taxpayers, but it offsets these expensive tax cuts in part through what several experts said may prove to be the most dramatic reductions in safety net spending in modern U.S. history.

He's still alive, amazingly.

Orlando Bloom and Sydney Sweeney were photographed taking a walk through Venice, Italy, together after attending Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s wedding.

The “Pirates of the Caribbean” star, who recently split from Katy Perry, and the “Anyone But You” actress took a walk alongside Tom Brady on Saturday.

Sweeney looked chic in a floral sundress, mini heels and sunglasses, while Bloom wore a black T-shirt, shorts, a hat and sunglasses.

Schumer sleepwalks through press conferences, Jeffries recites stale talking points, and meanwhile the GOP is out there setting the agenda. Do Democrats even realize what’s at stake? Or are they just hoping the public forgets who’s supposed to be leading the opposition?

I am lost as to why the producers/director/writers of a film that SLAYED would dramatically change the tone so much-

This sequel was a sure thing and these idiots likely lost a good 50-100 million dollars.

The exit tracking (I read on another site) is not that bad, so folks who went enjoyed it for what it was.

I also just read that another film called Soulmate (which actually sounds really good) is filming now and is set in the M3gan universe- so this puts that film in jeopardy too.

What a bunch of morons.

Oh, just about her biological father.

Minnesota state senator John Hoffman in Champlin and Minnesota state representative Melissa Hortman in Brooklyn Park were reportedly shot in their homes by a gunman impersonating a police officer.

A manhunt is currently underway in Brooklyn Park for a man pretending to be a police officer. Governor Tim Walz sent a message on X stating he had activated the State Emergency Operations Center and that law enforcement in Champlin and Brooklyn Park would have the “full resources of the State of Minnesota behind them.”

It's a dishwasher I'll use every 2 or 3 days so I don't need an expensive one but my god the expensive ones (5 times the cost of an ordinary one) are ridiculously complicated.

The most expensive one has preloaded detergent so you don't need to worry about taking a tablet from the cupboard and popping in into the machine (20 seconds?) and the machine opens itself when it's finished to help with the drying. And it connects to wifi so you can turn it on without having to be in the kitchen.

Who needs all that shit for that much money?

It looks like it’s thinning

I hate watching vampire movies where the undead whine and feel guilty about having to drain peoples bloods. I wish I could reach through the tv and tell them to grow up. If I had a chance to live forever and not age I would happily drain as many people as I had to. Would you be capable of hunting humans?

Male Stripper REVEALS What He Experienced in Diddy’s House

As if he and his BFF Ryan Reynolds weren’t insufferable enough, he changes his name because he’s convinced Europeans are too dumb to pronounce “McElhenney”

I’ve been ignored my whole life—from grade school all the way through to adulthood.

I’m the one kid in the class who didn’t get a valentine card from any other kid in school. The teacher would quickly write one so I’d get at least one. Wow, that still saddens me.

It’s never gotten better. People even ignore me when I’m right in front of them (oh, the stories I can tell).

I assumed it was the wall I put up when I was in the closet so no one would discover my sexuality.

When I came out of the closet, however, nothing got better. Gay guys ignore me too.

I’ve wracked my brain trying to figure out why. Was it my looks? My attitude? Maybe I smell weird. Maybe I’m just exceedingly average. The ignoring does seem to occur in diverse situations so it’s something I’m doing or some vibe I’m giving out.

I tried dressing better, hanging out in gay spaces. It’s not like I’m a quiet, introvert—I’m a fun, extrovert (I think). While I have friends, I usually have to be the one who has to arrange and call to get together with friends.

I’ve coped by aiming for excellence at work (so colleagues are forced to see me) and being as kind as I can be to others because I’ve experienced how unkind people make me feel.

I am happy that, as I’m getting older (now, in my late 30’s), I’m caring less and less. Every now and again, I get thrown right back into it.

Today, I walked around in Manhattan. It’s Pride Month and there are gays everywhere. I didn’t even get one acknowledgment that I existed. Lots of people glancing and then looking away.

I want desperately not to care. Thankfully, I have a dog who seems to love me.

Can you empathise? Many deadlines and the work is high-order cognitive processing. I guess this keeps a 60yo brain "lubed" and fit?

Driven by a desire to help ex-servicemembers with mental illness, GOP lawmakers led a failed campaign last year to persuade the Biden administration to approve psychedelic drugs.

Now they may have found the ally they need in President Donald Trump’s health secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

A longtime believer in psychedelics’ potential to help people with illnesses like post-traumatic stress disorder and depression, despite the lack of supportive evidence Biden officials found, Kennedy is ramping up government-run clinical studies and telling the disappointed lawmakers doctors will be prescribing the drugs soon.

Curious to get your take on the Steam community. And more specifically, why the FUCK are there so many trolls on there? I used to think kids were the problem and that maybe a few of them just needed to grow up. Now I realize that a good number of the trolls are actually adults. Some even older than me, probably.

This is why I stay the fuck away from MMOPRGs -- those games are infested with these nutjobs.

"I’m a huge fan of gays,” Spelling told Reuters. “They love me; I love them. They consider me kind of a gay icon, which they’ve labeled me as.” I can't find an original source for this quote so it may not be recent, but is this true DL? I remember her as the annoying hag in the movie "TRICK" but what else has she done to warrant gay icon status?

...end stage dementia. A recent UTI took all of the fight out of her. She is now in hospice care. Can't drink or eat unless they put a sponge in her mouth.

She's been in a nursing home since 2018. I always knew that this day was coming but became complacent with the holding pattern she was in. Now the hospice nurse has given her a month at most. It will probably happen sooner. I am broken. I cried in front of the nurse and my family members four times today and I just finished a crying jag not thirty minutes ago. Certain that more will come. I've always been reluctant to share too much personal stuff on DL, because we can be harsh, but I am in desperate need of feedback, thanks.

Are any of you bitches going to see Mrs. Pamela Voorhees grace the silver screen? I've seen many horror films on the big screen for revival showings ("Halloween", "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre", "The Beyond", "The Devils") but this is one I've never gotten to experience in a theater. I have always been a big fan of it and am one of the rare people who prefer it over "Halloween". I did a Google search out of curiosity knowing that this Friday lands on the 13th, and several local theater listings popped up. I was pleasantly surprised.

Met the actor from Freddy 2 at a gay comic con a few years ago. He was so nice and I have followed his socials since. He looks really bad right now and has a go fund me for medical help. I did a search and see that he did this a few years ago as well.....I don't know if he's scamming or really needs help right now but I donated. I figure $20 is worth it for what he put out in the world. I feel bad of the guy.

Thoughts?

He's gotten rejected no doubt numerous times by hot tops.

I started another thread about him being rejected by someone he had a date with. He mentioned having spent $50 on Uber fare to meet that person. I have no doubt he was willing to spend all of that money because he was looking for his TOP in Shining Armor.

This person claims that a lot of the straight military guys are hooking up with the gay military guys.

Is that true??

Has anyone seen this film? I have never heard of it and it doesn't seem to be very well known. The Criterion Collection put it out somewhat recently and I came across it while perusing their titles as they're having their 50% off sale now at Barnes & Noble. I've always thought Carradine was sexy as hell and some of the reviews I've read on it describe it as a kind of neon-bathed odyssey through late-night Los Angeles in the '80s. Is it any good?

Went to a showing last night with decent expectations but was thoroughly impressed by the film which repeatedly surprised me by going places I never expecting the movie- or any zombie-derivative genre movie- to go.

The acting was fantastic, the cinematography gorgeous and the story telling fresh and unpredictable. Great moments of tension anchored by an extremely strong emotional core that at moments felt like Spielberg at his absolute best. I cried at the end.

And there’s also hot zombies with massive flopping semi erect dicks too

Is this like Euphoria where it’s a “teen” show but actually for adults or is it like Dawson’s Creek where it’s a legitimate teen show but with tons of sex and nudity?

I’ve watched many shows from Spain and most of them don’t have this much random sex scenes.

Hot though.

The family of Noah Presgrove, who was found dead along an Oklahoma highway, revealed that the teen had a caved-in skull, road rash on his hip, a gravel rash on his shoulder and multiple bruises. According to a friend's father who visited the scene, some of Noah's teeth were found scattered on the ground, with a pair of white shorts a few feet away.

There are multiple talk-show hosts who successfully sold themselves as super-nice and cheerful, and when it was revealed they were not really that way in their personal lives, fans turned on them almost completely: James Corden, Rosie O'Donnell, Ellen Degeneres. They all are very wealthy now, but they no longer get very good gigs (no, guest-starring on "AJLT" is not an impressive gig).

Should Jimmy Fallon, Drew Barrymore, and Kelly Clarkson be scared, or are they actually nice enough in real life it won't ever affect them? Most of the other successful hosts (Jon Stewart, Jimmy Kimmel, Seth Meyers, Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar) don't pretend to be overwhelmingly nice.

Employment judge George Alliott says term, typically targeted at middle-aged white women, is pejorative

Calling someone a “Karen” is “borderline racist, sexist and ageist”, a tribunal judge has said.

Employment judge George Alliott said the term, typically targeted at middle-aged white women, was pejorative.

The remarks came in the case of Sylvia Constance, 74, who had brought claims of unfair dismissal, direct race and age discrimination and victimisation against Harpenden Mencap, a charity that provides support to adults with learning disabilities.

Constance, who the tribunal heard is black British, said she was targeted because of her race, having been dismissed on 13 June 2023 because of an “irrevocable breakdown in the relationship” with Mencap.

Bosses had previously suspended Constance over claims of “emotional/psychological abuse of a tenant in your care” and “bullying and intimidation of colleagues”, the tribunal heard.

Christine Yates, who represented Constance at the tribunal, said in a document: “The respondents have acted like the stereotypical ‘Karen’, having weaponised their privilege and more powerful position against the complainant, making up and suspending the complainant for numerous fictitious infringements, and deflecting from their personal misconduct.

“As egregiously, they encouraged residents under their care to do same. There is also something very sordid about the way in which white, female management have facilitated racism by colluding with white, male residents to give a misogynistic, racist view of the black complainant.”

But Alliott said: “We note Christine Yates uses the slang term ‘Karen’, which is a pejorative and borderline racist, sexist and ageist term.”

The judge dismissed Constance’s claims, saying that the complaints against her were “legitimate” and “did not constitute a targeted racist campaign against her”.

As millions gather on Sunday for America’s largest Pride parade, the L.G.B.T.Q. community is increasingly concerned about the pushback against transgender people.

Millions of people will gather on Sunday for the New York City Pride March, packing the streets of Manhattan for a celebration amid the most hostile political environment for L.G.B.T.Q. Americans in decades.

The march commemorates the 1969 Stonewall riots, which are widely seen as giving rise to the modern L.G.B.T.Q. rights movement. That effort, over many years, has increased public support for L.G.B.T.Q. people, but the movement has begun to falter badly in the face of opposition from the Supreme Court, the Trump administration and even some Democrats.

Pride celebrations have always been equal parts party and protest, and those who planned to march on Sunday said that filling the streets with rainbow flags and colorful floats was now more important than ever as the rights of L.G.B.T.Q. people come under increasing attack.

Stacy Lentz, an owner of the Stonewall Inn, where the 1969 riots took place, and the chief executive of an affiliated nonprofit, said she thought L.G.B.T.Q. people and their supporters needed “to get back to the roots of Pride and what happened at Stonewall because our rights are under attack in a way we haven’t been in decades.”

“I have had young folks ask me, ‘What do you think it was like back then? How do you think people felt to be fighting for their rights?’” she said. “I tell them we’ve never been closer to that time then we are right now. We all need to pick up the torch.”

On Tuesday, June 10, Kelley Wolf announced that she and the actor, 57, are parting ways weeks after their 21st wedding anniversary. Hours later, he spoke out about the split in a heartfelt statement.

"After 21 years of marriage, I have made the most difficult decision of my life, and filed for divorce from my wife Kelley,” he said. “Our children have always been, and continue to be, the loves of our lives and our every priority, so I kindly ask for privacy at this time as we help guide them through this new chapter."

The pair, who first met in 2002 and tied the knot in 2004, share three children: Jackson, 16, Miller, 12, and Lucy, 11.

She’s already been assigned to level 3 tech support.

Sen. Thom Tillis, a two-term North Carolina Republican who was expected to contest one of 2026's toughest Senate races, said Sunday he will not seek re-election.

Tillis made the announcement after voting "no" on a procedural vote to advance President Donald Trump's "big, beautiful bill" — the cornerstone of his domestic policy agenda. Trump subsequently attacked Tillis in a series of social media posts.

“In Washington over the last few years, it's become increasingly evident that leaders who are willing to embrace bipartisanship, compromise, and demonstrate independent thinking are becoming an endangered species,“ Tillis said in a statement.

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

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

If it's spring, it must be a shot of Mike Holmes Jr. in a swimsuit.

She is simply too thick for these aerial stunts. I'm glad she didn't injury any of her fans below. They've already been fleeced, endured an evening of non-hit songs and have certainly suffered enough. In any case, the car looks like a floating red mattress. What a stupid concept.

The chaotic scene that broke out Thursday at the Miami-Dade commission meeting should concern everyone who still believes in open government.

A local resident identified as Camila Ramos, 36, was forcibly dragged from the meeting by Miami-Dade sheriff’s deputies after attempting to ask a question about the immigration enforcement agreement between Miami-Dade and ICE.

It was a shocking moment: scuffles, pleas to be allowed to speak, the crowd chanting “Let her speak” as Ramos was dragged along the floor of the chamber and out the door by multiple law enforcement officers. Many members of the public held up their phones to video the appalling spectacle.

In addition to the woeful incompetence being a cornerstone of policy, the Bush Administration is getting a revival in the form of blatant and highly public Islamophobia being normalized. New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand - who was appointed in 2009 following Hilary Clinton's resignation to become Secretary of State - is taking a cue from Debra Messing and one of the House members from Long Island and going on a racist rant against Mamdami after he trounced Cuomo in the primary. Her office is now trying to claim she "misspoke", because they apparently think everyone is stupid. And yes, this is the same chick who had pushed for Al Franken to be ousted, but then endorsed sex pest Cuomo for mayor.

It looks like New York will face very tough and expensive Dem primaries from the progressives for its next two races, 2028 for Schumer and 2030 for this lady (there is no Senate election in 2026 unless one of them resigns/dies).

Ryan Reynolds is once again making headlines, but this time, it’s not for his next big blockbuster or buzzy business deal.

The "Deadpool" star's recent TIME cover has ignited a firestorm online, with fans mocking the feature and accusing Reynolds of “buying” his way onto the prestigious publication.

The 48-year-old actor was the focus of a feature titled “How Ryan Reynolds Rewrote the Script for Celebrity Entrepreneurs”, highlighting his impressive business ventures, including his production and marketing firm Maximum Effort, which recently earned a spot on TIME100's Most Influential Companies list.

I was watching "No Way Out" this weekend and remembered how sexy he was in the movie, despite playing a psychopath with a not-so-thinly-veiled gay obsession with Gene Hackman's character. He played a similar sexy villain in "Desperately Seeking Susan," and even though he hasn't aged all that well (see his 2015 DUI arrest mugshot and his appearance in 2018's "Halloween" reboot), he's always been a solid actor who consistently delivers good performances.

He just turned 71 and it doesn't look like he's ever been married or has any kids, and I can't think of any past romantic gossip about him. What say you, DLers? Is he of the homosexual persuasion? And would you have tapped that back in the day?

Liberal Justice Sonia Sotomayor torched the Supreme Court for siding with Trump on birthright citizenship—and putting every civil right under attack.

Allegations claiming that Lear was a drag queen or intersex were circulating from the beginning of her modelling and singing careers.[29][30] Her alleged transgender background has been commented by Salvador Dalí himself,[31] and upon in the media and in the biographies of those who knew Lear earlier in her life, including Dalí,[32][33] with Dali's biographer Ian Gibson's devoting an entire chapter to her.[21]

April Ashley, a transgender entertainer and model, has claimed that in the 1950s and early 1960s, Lear, whose birth name she stated was "Alain Tap,"[34] and she were working together in the Parisian transvestite revues Madame Arthur and Le Carrousel. In her book April Ashley's Odyssey, Ashley recalls Lear performing drag acts under the stage name "Peki d'Oslo".[35] Similar facts have been reported by Romy Haag, a transgender artist living in Germany, who ran the popular nightclub Chez Romy in Berlin and knew Amanda,[36] and Bibiana Fernández, a Spanish transgender actress and singer.[37]

Some sources insinuate that Dalí sponsored Lear's sex reassignment surgery in Casablanca in 1963, carried out by Doctor Georges Burou,[38] and also that Dalí invented the stage name for her, a pun of the Catalan language "L'Amant de Dalí" (Dalí's lover).

In 1978, she posed nude for Playboy.[39]

Despite Lear contradicting transgender rumours on numerous occasions and explaining they were part of a strategy to draw public attention,[40] the rumours continued to persist. She had denied them from the beginning of her singing career, in 1976, stating that it was "a crazy idea from some journalist"[28] and later claiming that it was Salvador Dalí or even herself who'd started the rumour.[41][42] She addressed the allegations in an ironic and provocative way in her songs "Fabulous (Lover, Love Me)" and "I'm a Mistery" (deliberately misspelled as to reference the word "mister"). Despite some sources claiming her transgender background is an open secret, she has always flatly denied it, even when confronted by Ian Gibson during a TV show.[43]

However, French,[44][29] British[45][46][47] and Italian[48][49] newspapers and magazines in the 1960s and 1970s and more recently in 2008,[50] with an excerpt surfaced online in 2011[51] and in 2016 in an article in La Stampa,[34] included passport details and a reproduction of a copy of Lear's birth certificate, which states that she was born Alain Maurice Louis René Tap on 18 June 1939 in Saigon, and a picture of Lear before her supposed transition.

Lear allegedly grew up in the South of France and in Switzerland, or between London and Paris,[19] or in Nice.[52][53] Raised speaking French and English, she learned German, Spanish and Italian in her teens, and would use multilingualism in her professional life.

The Guardian, on 24 December 2000, summarized the information relating to this aspect of Lear's life as follows:[17]

Lear's background remains a mystery. She has variously let it be known that her mother was English or French or Vietnamese or Chinese, and that her father was English, Russian, French or Indonesian. She may have been born in Hanoi in 1939, or Hong Kong in either 1941 or 1946. Once she said she was from Transylvania. And to this day, it is a matter of conjecture as to whether she was born a boy or a girl.

Danny Stewart and Pete Mercurio found baby Kevin in a Manhattan subway station 25 years ago. Now, their story is told in the animated short film "18 Months," capturing the love, hurdles and hope behind their family's beginning.

As freshly announced by Deadline, it appears that a deal has closed that will see Dead To Me vet Linda Cardellini playing one of horror’s most infamous mothers. Accompanying that news were these notes on how the character will be portrayed in Crystal Lake:

"Cardellini’s Pamela is believed to be a mother who had given up a singing career to raise a special needs child and takes a dark turn when she loses her son."

Crystal Lake will be centered around Linda Cardellini’s maternal figure, and the reign of terror she visits upon Camp Crystal Lake in the wake of her son’s wrongful death. So much like Bates Motel did for Psycho before it, the backstory before the real bloodletting is going to shape what we see.

Authorities were first alerted to a potential issue after Disneyland Paris staff noticed that the bride at a pre-scheduled wedding appeared alarmingly young, per The Sunday Times.

Tom Sandoval looked both nervous and determined as he walked down a backstage hallway. The Bravo reality TV veteran was walking out with his musical group to face four celebrity judges on Tuesday’s episode of NBC’s competition series “America’s Got Talent."

“Do you know who Tom Sandoval is?” a producer asked judge Simon Cowell. “Well, he’s left ‘Vanderpump Rules,’ and he’s here to audition with his band.”

Sandoval, 42, elaborated in his own intimate moment with the camera crew: “A couple of years ago, I made some really bad choices and was involved in a very bad cheating scandal. And I let down a lot of people. It pretty much destroyed my life. … Ever since then, it’s like everything that I do is completely criticized.”

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

Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch on Saturday doubled down in her criticism of the Pride March organizer’s decision to ban the NYPD’s Gay Officers Action League from participating in the annual event in New York City.

In a strongly worded letter to the event’s organizer, Heritage of Pride, calling the group hypocrites, Tisch demanded that it change its stance on the officers’ exclusion from the celebratory procession. The top cop slammed the new reason given for not letting the gay officers march — namely, that it would violate the event’s no-weapons policy — calling it a “PR stunt” and “Not a solution.”

“It is also the height of hypocrisy to request the security and protection of thousands of armed, uniformed police officers for The March on Sunday and then ban from that event the very officers that proudly represent your community,” Tisch said in the letter.

“In a year when LGBTQ+ rights are under siege in ways we had thought were behind us, this is the time to stand together, not to splinter,” Tisch added. “In that light, I urge you to reconsider your decision here. Regardless of the ultimate outcome.” Heritage of Pride, about two weeks ago, informed the NYPD, including the Gay Officers Action League, or GOAL, that it was continuing its ban for the fourth straight year against allowing police officers to march.

“Though the NYPD remains a partner in monitoring and addressing security threats, the NYPD response is to be called upon only when absolutely necessary,” an internal memo from Heritage of Pride states. “Additionally, the guidelines for our March were updated to clarify that no participating contingent could march with weapons.” Tisch on Friday said she was shocked by the decision, given earlier dialogue she and Det. Brian Downey, GOAL’s president, had had with Heritage of Pride officials.

HOP spokesman Chris Piedmont stressed that the organization has a no-weapons policy, to which GOAL would not agree. However, NYPD officers are required to have their service weapons on them while they are in uniform “as a matter of public and personal safety,” according to Tisch’s letter.

“To be clear,” Piedmont told the Daily News on Friday, “GOAL is welcome to march without weapons like every other contingent and we welcome them to join us as we march to protect trans youth, advocate for full equality and stand in proud defiance of the attacks our community is facing.”

The March starts at 11 a.m. Sunday and runs 1.8 miles, from Fifth Ave. and 25th St. down to Eighth St., then back up to Seventh Ave. and W. 14th St.

Trump’s head will explode.

The Jerusalem District Court cancelled this week's hearings in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's long-running corruption trial, accepting a request the Israeli leader made citing classified diplomatic and security grounds.

It was unclear whether a social media post by U.S. President Donald Trump influenced the court's decision. Trump suggested the trial could interfere with Netanyahu’s ability to join negotiations with the Palestinian militant group Hamas and Iran.

The ruling, seen by Reuters, said that new reasons provided by Netanyahu, the head of Israel's spy agency Mossad and the military intelligence chief justified cancelling the hearings.

One of the accused students, a girl, was allegedly in a "relationship" with the victim who had cheated on her, according to the Surprise Police Department.

A group of fifth-grade students were arrested last fall over an alleged plot to murder a fellow student after being overheard discussing their plans, according to a newly released police report.

Four students at the Legacy Traditional School in Surprise, Arizona, were accused of planning to fatally stab a fellow fifth grade student and forge a suicide note to make it appear self-inflicted, according to the police report. A parent alerted the school of the plot on Oct. 1, 2024, after their child overheard the group talking about it.

The students and their parents were instructed to come back to the school the following morning for the school's investigation, per the report.

Through the investigation, it was found that one of the accused students, a girl, was allegedly in a "relationship" with the victim, a boy, who had cheated on her, according to the report. The girl hated him and wanted him dead, the report said.

During a lunch on Oct. 1, 2024, the students were involved in a conversation on how to "end him," the report said. According to interviews with the suspects, the plan involved allegedly luring the boy to a bathroom and stabbing him in the stomach.

One of the students interviewed said she had walked over while the group was discussing the plot and made jokes about it, according to the report. But the girl insisted that she was joking while the other students "started to get serious" and she began to back off as a result, the report said.

Raines created a successful YouTube channel dedicated to her advocacy efforts rescuing foxes from fur farms.

Animal rescue activist and YouTube star Mikayla Raines has died by suicide, according to her husband. She was 29.

Ethan Raines announced her death in an emotional video he posted to her YouTube channel on Monday.

He said that for years his wife suffered from various mental health issues and struggled to cope with online criticism.

"She couldn’t bear what she was feeling any longer, and she ended her life," he said. "And it breaks my heart that someone who is selfless and devoted her life to animals could have so much negativity pointed at her."

"And to those of you that pushed her to this, every one of you that had been responsible for making her feel this way, I wish you had to feel what she felt," he added. "I wish you had to feel what I feel."

Mikayla Raines created an animal rescue nonprofit, SaveAFox Rescue, in 2017, when she was just 20 years old. The organization, which is based in Lakeville, Minnesota, is dedicated to rescuing foxes from fur farms and providing them with "forever homes." The nonprofit has saved more than 150 foxes, according to its website.

Ethan Raines said he performed CPR on his wife for fifteen minutes before paramedics arrived.

He encouraged those who are "feeling lost and hopeless" to reach out to friends, family or a crisis hotline, and for those with loved ones who are struggling to "do something or say something before it’s too late."

"Despite this being the biggest loss of my life and feeling like I have a literal hole in my chest," he said. "I will not let Mikayla's light be extinguished, and I won’t let negativity win, and I won’t let her mission fall apart."

He said that he intends to continue his wife's work and requested privacy in the near future.

"As long as you guys will continue to support all of us here at SaveAFox," he said. "We will keep pushing forward. I’m confident we can bring more light to this world, and we’ll be doing it for Mikayla."

Will Cane, since he’s returned, be into fat chicks now as a fetish, and encourage Traci to eat all the burgers and chips at the Abbott July 4th barbecue and finally dick her down? Will Jabottom and Audra resume their fucking in new and interesting ways, complete with a strap on for our fair lad? Will Nate, Holden and Damian give us loads of chocolate milk in the Athletic Club steam room? Will Victor keel over at the next Genoa City gathering, and drive Nikki back to drinking in alleys and hiding flasks again? And will Mooriah and Tessa break up for good and will anyone care?

The first U.S. bishop appointed by Pope Leo XIV has called for priests, deacons and parish leaders to accompany migrants to court and stand in solidarity with them.

[quote]Rev. Michael Pham, who was named bishop of San Diego, California, by Pope Leo in May, wrote a letter about the action on Wednesday, along with Rev. Felipe Pulido and Rev. Ramón Bejarano, both appointed by the previous pontiff, Pope Francis.

[quote]"On the morning of June 20th, which is International Refugee Day, a group of priests and faith leaders are planning to visit the federal court building to stand in solidarity with migrants who are making their court appearances," they wrote.

If you listen to SiriusXM’s Jeff Lewis Live, you probably heard an earful yesterday when he found out the news that his two exes got engaged. Let’s just say that Gage and Scott shouldn’t expect a wedding gift — not even a toaster.

Gage announced the engagement news on social media by sharing a photo of the rings. He put this in his Instagram Story, although you’d think an engagement would be good enough for the grid. Either way, he wrote “And a yes” in the post, showing both of their hands rocking the new bands.

Cutie pie.

Three years after he slapped comedian Chris Rock on stage at the Oscars, Will Smith says making a mistake so publicly was "brutal".

"The last few years for me have been really deep reflection," the actor tells 1Xtra's Remi Burgz. "After the Oscars I shut it down for a minute and really went into the internal work and just taking a big, strong, honest look at myself."

"For the first time in my career, [I was] having to deal with a level of disapproval that I never had to experience," Will says. "The addiction to the approval of others that I had to dissolve, it was brutal."

I for one would not walk around barefoot in Los Angeles but he looks uncharacteristically happy.

[quote]According to a groundbreaking MIT study, using ChatGPT for writing tasks significantly reduces brain activity and learning, with researchers discovering that AI users showed the weakest neural connectivity compared to those using search engines or relying solely on their own thinking abilities.

[quote]The MIT Media Lab's four-month study revealed that participants using ChatGPT completed writing tasks 60% faster but showed a 32% reduction in "germane cognitive load" – the mental effort needed to process information into meaningful knowledge.

[quote]Perhaps the most alarming finding from the MIT study was the severe impact on memory formation and recall among ChatGPT users. Over 83% of participants who used the AI tool were unable to accurately quote from essays they had written just minutes earlier. This contrasts dramatically with brain-only and search engine users, where only 11.1% experienced similar recall difficulties.

Jack’s a shy, newly out gay guy still reeling from his dad’s death, thrown into university with Danny, a confident, older, messed up straight guy They shouldn’t work, but they do. Not in a cheesy odd couple way, more like two misfits fumbling into real friendship through bad nights out, grief, and virginal awkwardness.

It’s funny, sharp, and weirdly moving. Hits that sweet spot between dick jokes and emotional damage. Surprisingly tender stuff, if you’re into that kind of thing (and let’s be real you are). Give it a chance, on Hulu..

“The former Transportation secretary previously confirmed he was ‘looking’ at a Senate campaign, and discussed the prospect with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. Buttigieg’s decision to rule himself out is framed by allies and people in his inner circle as a bid to put himself in the strongest possible position to seek the presidency.”

Honey, I Blew the Kid

In local politics anyway.

Further proof of what progressives have been telling "moderates" all along but keeps falling on deaf ears: much of Trump's success isn't even rooted in partisan tribalism - he simply captured a large segment of voters who absolutely despise establishment Democrats.

It's also why Dem leaders would rather spend all their time, energy, and resources sabataging the progressives than stand up to Trump - progressives threaten their positions of power, while Trump's existence enhances them.

The path to defeating Trumpism is simple and clear, and the Democratic establishment is what stands in the way. They've gotta go.

I have this childhood friend who now and then judges me or misconstrues my words, to the point other friends think it's odd. We'll have a good time and later I'll find out he said something weird behind my back. Recently I complimented his vegetable garden and said I might grow something myself, to find out he told somebody else "OP thinks gardening is all sunshine and rainbows, but soon he's gonna realize it's hard work." I've dug up and kept my own tomato garden, so I don't know where the anger's from or what he's on about.

It's little snips like that now and then. The weird thing is he's usually the one to initiate. I'm the only person he keeps close outside of his boyfriend and the sister who he's on on-and-off good terms with.

Ever have a friend like that, DL? What do you do about it?

For some reason, I feel like every third movie starred Julie Andrews and so I've seen a LOT of clips with her, and I've come to the conclusion that she's actually a really terrible actress. She gives the same uptight performance with the same pinched voice in every movie.

A massive and notoriously mischievous black bear has been captured after more than a year on the run following a string of break-ins in California.

The 500lbs (227kg) bear, known to fans as Hank the Tank, is believed to have broken into 21 homes in the Lake Tahoe area since 2022.

Hank - who is actually a female bear registered as 64F - will be moved to a sanctuary in Colorado.

Can we talk about the Zizians?

"She was arrested alongside Jack “Ziz” LaSota, an associate of hers whom prosecutors have described as the leader of the Zizians, a cultlike group of California activists whose members prosecutors say are suspects in several murders.

"The Zizians are an offshoot of the Rationalist movement, whose members encourage seeking truth and making decisions through reason and hyperlogical decision-making, as opposed to impulse and intuition.

"In her statement, however, Zajko denied that the group used the moniker “Zizians” and disputed the characterization that they are extremists. She said other Rationalists are seeking to discredit them, and even physically harm them. "

Nice to see them back together again.

In new court documents filed June 20, Allman's estranged wife Marieangela King brought his famous mother, Cher, into the case, claiming the icon helped fund their "lifestyle" before they split.

In the filing, King, 37, requested spousal support and for her attorney's fees to be covered amid her divorce from Allman, 48, while claiming that she experienced "a high standard of living" — including traveling in Europe and staying in 5-star hotels, flying first and business class aboard airplanes and having access to "private pools, gyms, chefs, maids, [and] a therapist" — during their marriage.

King's filing also described dining at high-end restaurants such as Mr. Chow, Nobu and Chateau Marmont while she was with Allman.

One month after their release from federal custody, the couple is sitting with Juju Chang for the 100th episode and season 3 finale of ABC’s IMPACT x Nightline, which is set to air on Sunday, June 29.

In PEOPLE’s exclusive first look at their special, The Chrisleys: Life After Lockup, Todd, 57, and Julie, 52, will “detail their life behind bars and their surprise homecoming, while daughter Savannah sheds light on her fight for their presidential pardon.”

“I don’t have an apology to give you or anyone else over the money that I’ve made,” Todd says at the start of the teaser.

I know women with small breasts don’t need much support, but these days when people are bigger than ever why does it seem like so many women are no longer wearing bras. It’s makes large chested women look slovenly and blob like.

Not as bad as I thought it would be. Even Gia is watchable.

How satisfied is this hunk's wife??

Why do I have no sympathy for this?

Yes I know this is DL and not some parenting site but this makes me furious. I mean these parents cook their children to death and get off free because 'I forgot.' It's like jumping off a cliff and on the way down thinking oh I forgot this was dangerous or sticking a knife in your I eye going blind and then saying I forgot this was not a good idea.

You remember to go to work or go shopping but you forget there is a baby in the car? These people cooked an infant to death. They deserve the full punishment the law allows.

Ok I've never been a parent. I've never had an infant. But I know on this site gay or straight there must be people who have or have had infants. Can you explain to me how this happens? When I was a boy we had lots of big families all around with mothers constantly overwhelmed by so many children but I never heard of this happening. Maybe it did but we did not have the internet back then. 'I forgot' seems the lamest excuse there is for leaving a baby in a car. I couldn't even imagine leaving a pet in the car.

Now listen up, you Sissy-Mary's. While you've been getting your panties in a twist over La Lapone, the Trump/Musk bitchfest, Sydney Sweeney getting attacked by her own tittays, you have been distracted away from events that have occurred while your nelly backs have been turned. An example? Meet our new Ambassador to Greece.....

President Trump named Kimberly Guilfoyle as Ambassador to Greece. Guilfoyle is a former Fox News personality and has been a staple of the Trump family for years since she previously was in a relationship with Donald Trump Jr. The two reportedly have broken up. “For many years, Kimberly has been a close friend and ally. Her extensive experience and leadership in law, media, and politics along with her sharp intellect make her supremely qualified to represent the United States, and safeguard its interests abroad,” Trump said Tuesday in a post on Truth Social. He added, “Kimberly is perfectly suited to foster strong bilateral relations with Greece, advancing our interests on issues ranging from defense cooperation to trade and economic innovation.”

Tuberville was asked if President Donald Trump should cut off funding to large “sanctuary” cities that attract immigrants.

“You can stop the federal funding,” Tuberville said. “President Trump can do anything he wants when it comes to the federal. Again, these inner-city rats, they live off the federal government. And that’s one reason we’re $37 trillion in debt.

“And it’s time we find these rats and we send them back home, that are living off the American taxpayers, that are working very hard every week to pay taxes.”

Tuberville drew fire for some comments about whether people from urban areas should come to Alabama.

“Well, don’t be expecting a free lunch, I promise you,” he said. “Bring your lunch with you because you’re not going to be welcomed if you’re going to bring that Communist, Islamic atmosphere with you. We’re not going to deal with it. I’m telling you right now...

Donald Trump said on social media that Israel and Iran have agreed to a “complete and total ceasefire” to be phased in over 24 hours.

Trump said on Truth Social that the ceasefire would bring an “Official END” to war, a major change in the hostilities that follows a U.S. strike over the weekend on three Iranian nuclear sites.

“On the assumption that everything works as it should, which it will, I would like to congratulate both Countries, Israel and Iran, on having the Stamina, Courage, and Intelligence to end, what should be called, “THE 12 DAY WAR,” Trump posted.

Actor Brad Pitt's home in Los Angeles has been ransacked by a trio of thieves.

Three suspects broke into the home in Los Feliz late on Wednesday through a front window and "ransacked the location," according to the Los Angeles Police Department.

Police did not confirm the home belonged to the Oscar-winning actor, but the address matched that of a home Mr Pitt purchased in 2023.

Authorities said the suspects fled with stolen items, though it's unclear what was taken. The actor was not home at the time of the burglary, US media reported.

Last month, a man was also arrested on stalking and vandalism charges after he allegedly rammed his vehicle into the gate of the home of Pitt's ex-wife, Jennifer Aniston.

Earlier this week, Pashinyan told his 1.1 million followers on Facebook he was prepared to expose himself to the head of the Armenian Church and his spokesman, to prove they were wrong that he had been circumcised.

Any fans of the pre-code, multi-Oscar winning classic?

I've moved to "Wine Country" in Northern California and am surrounded by vineyards as far as the eye can see. Unfortunately, I can't drink wine anymore, but love to eat grapes. There must be a dozen grape varieties, mostly reds, grown on just the one vineyard I visited in years past. I'm wondering if one can taste the difference when the grapes are fresh. Do fresh Cabernet grapes taste much different than Pinots, for example? Even here, grocery stores only sell "red table grapes" or "green table grapes". Am planning on going to the winery across the street during the Fall harvest and ask if I can sample a a few different types when fresh. It would be easy enough to ride around on my e-bike and just take some. My first guess is that they all have seeds and would taste like crap.

Anyone here have experience tasting different fresh wine grapes?

And why?

Dozens of European politicians are planning to attend Budapest Pride in defiance Hungary’s anti-LGBTQ+ law banning Pride marches.

Earlier this year, lawmakers in the eastern European nation submitted a bill to parliament to ban LGBTQ+ focused events. The bill was subsequently signed into law by anti-LGBTQ+ prime minister Viktor Orbán and proposes fines of up to 200,000 forints (£420/$550) for organisers of Budapest Pride and anyone attending.

The bill also allows the use facial recognition to target and fine attendees of any LGBTQ+ events in the country.

In the past, more than 30,000 LGBTQ+ people and allies have marched in Budapest Pride and dozens of protests have taken place following its ban.

As per CNN, officials from at least six groups of the European Parliament are planning to attend the Pride march on Saturday (31 May) regardless of the anti-LGBTQ+ law.

To some, she represented a bright light to save America from an out of control Trump Regime. To others, she was appointed to rubber-stamp anything with Trump's name on it because she was appointed by him.

I am curious how her judicial career will turn out. She is young and will be on the Court for a long time. She seems to be more in line Chief Justice Roberts more than the Thomas-Alito-Gorsuch ideology. She also showed a disdain for Trump at the State of the Union Address in March. My guess is a modern Sandra Day O'Connor or Anthony Kennedy.

Any other political or legal followers want to weigh in?

He donated 9.43 million shares to the Gates Foundation; 943,384 shares to the Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation; and 660,366 shares to each of three charities led respectively by his children Howard, Susie, and Peter: the Howard G. Buffett Foundation, Sherwood Foundation and NoVo Foundation.

I think I watched it when I was 20-21 and was not impressed. I am 45 now and watched it again-

I heartily laughed a good 20 times and was also moved - it was a really nice diversion-

I loved it.

Dudley's performance is next level great and he was a very talented guy. Liza (Lizsha) was over the top- but it worked- because like Dudley, she is so fucking likeable- See how she handles a horse making noises during her monologue (Its lovely) and that damn Sir John Gielgud (sp) deserved the Oscar-

The only weak link is the godawful Jill Eikenberry- but it 100% works, because she is supposed to be annoying as fuck.

Highly recommended- A laugh out loud comedy with 3 seriously great performances and a whole lot of heart.

Barbara Stanwyck is superb as the hypochondriac heiress who overhears a plot for murder in 1948's suspense film noir, "Sorry, Wrong Number." Based on Lucille Fletcher's classic radio play, who also expanded the tale to film length. Stanwyck makes the spoiled, neurotic character empathetic & the gradual descent into terror most believable. Burt Lancaster is solid as the shady husband, Ed Begley perfect as her big daddy, & Wendell Corey as her doc. But it's Barbara's show all the way, with a terrific production. My take:

Beauty, elegance, and not being Audrey Hepburn made her an international star.

Her screen career was short but legendary: High Noon, The Country Girl, Dial M for Murder, Rear Window, To Catch a Thief, The Swan, and High Society. Then, at the height of her career she became a literal princess when she married Rainer III, Prince of Monaco.

As Princess of Monaco, she focused on bringing ballet, opera, fashion, and horticulture to the People of Monaco. She was also the first female board member of 20th Century Fox, an author on both poetry and horticulture, and she sought to historically restore Newport, Rhode Island.

However, tragedy struck in 1982 when she suffered a cerebral hemorrhage while driving and drove off a mountain at the age of 52.

His body type isn't exactly what I'd go for, but in his videos where he tells people they need to do better and mind their own business, kinda makes me want to respond "yes, Daddy".

Marte was seen in tears on the field after the spectator yelled a derogatory comment about Marte's late mother during a seventh-inning at-bat in Arizona's 4-1 win over Chicago.

According to a White Sox spokesperson, the security staff at the ballpark relayed that the 22-year-old fan was “very apologetic and remorseful after the fact, and admitted to being very inappropriate and stupid with his comments.”

Another person confirmed to the AP that Major League Baseball had banned the fan from all big league stadiums.

I've been laid up with the flu for the past week and have gone down the YouTube rabbit hole watching police bodycam videos, everything from DUI arrests to drunks getting kicked out of bars to ex-girlfriends stalking their ex-boyfriends. Most of the videos are hilarious (and most take place in Floriduh, of course), and I love how all the people who get arrested inevitably shriek, "I didn't do anything!" as the handcuffs are placed on them. It's also fun watching deadbeats without a dime scream, "I'm calling my attorney," as if these WalMart rejects have a lawyer on retainer.

Anybody else get oddly entertained by these?

What happened?

Coming Friday at 10 am: six major decisions.

A 19-year-old teen in Knoxville, Tennessee is facing serious charges after he allegedly beat a man with a plunger -- sticking it in the victim's mouth -- before stripping him naked, covering him with bleach, and then leaving with a 3-year-old child.

Charles Coffman was arrested and booked earlier this week on charges of aggravated kidnapping, attempted second-degree murder, tampering with evidence and theft, per Knox County Sheriff records.

It all began on Sunday, after authorities reportedly received a call from someone concerned Coffman had killed someone and kidnapped a young girl, according to a police report via WVLT.

When police got to the scene, they found a male victim "in the bathroom, naked, and with serious head injuries." They also reportedly noted a strong bleach odor, while a 3-year-old child and the victim's car, a Ford Explorer, were missing.

A BOLO was placed on the vehicle, which was soon found in nearby Sevierville with Coffman, the child, and an unnamed woman inside. The young girl was taken to the hospital for observation.

Per the police docs, Coffman allegedly said he had been told by the child's mother to take an Uber to the home and pick up the girl. He said, according to authorities, he "got into a physical fight with the victim" at the residence.

"[Coffman said] he slammed the victim into the ground, struck him in the face multiple times with his fists, struck [the victim] with a toilet plunger and stuffed this plunger into the victim's mouth," reads the report. "[Coffman] also admitted to dragging the victim into the bathroom, stripping him naked, and pouring bleach on the victim's wounds."

He also allegedly claimed he had permission to take the vehicle from the home.

The child's mother, however, disputed his account when contacted by police. She allegedly said she "did not and would not" allow Coffman to have the child or the car and claimed she hadn't spoken with him.

The other woman in the vehicle, meanwhile, allegedly told police she walked into the home to find the victim on the floor -- before she said Coffman gave her the child and they left. She claimed she also heard him on the phone telling someone he "didn't know if the victim was alive or dead."

Coffman remains behind bars. He has a bond hearing set for Friday, June 27.

IFC had Jaws 2 on about five times yesterday, so I decided to watch it again. I remember seeing it in the theater when I was in high school and remembering it was pretty exciting. Nothing in comparison to the original, but much better than the awful sequels that followed. Some observations:

- David Elliott, who played Larry, had the hottest damn ass, especially when he fell in the water and his jeans got wet and clung to him.

- Gary Dubin, who played Eddie, the first kid to get killed by the shark, died of bone cancer back in 2016. :-(

- Steven Van Zandt's brother Billy played one of the teens in the movie.

- Donna Wilkes, best known as that whore from "Angel," was actually pretty good at playing terrified and in shock.

- My favorite part was when the one teen girl got swallowed whole by the shark.

The movie's a little heavy on teens screaming, but overall, there was some good suspense.

Is this camp at its best or worst?

In 1978, siblings Scott and Amy Fandel lived in Sterling, Alaska, with their mother, Margaret.

Scott, who was 13-years-old at the time, is remembered as a prankster who was intelligent and had a love of motorcycles and the great outdoors. His 8-year-old sister Amy was known as a sweet girl who was kind to others and cared about animals.

Together, Scott, Amy, and Margaret resided in a small cabin located on Scout Lake Loop Road. Yet, on September 4, 1978, the brother-sister duo mysteriously went missing from their home.

The Disappearance Of The Fandel Siblings

Leading up to the night Scott and Amy vanished, Margaret had been going through a bitter divorce with her husband, Roger Fandel, who was Amy’s father. He was reportedly unfaithful and, following their split, relocated to Arizona by himself.

Once Margaret became a single parent, Scott and Amy were reportedly left unsupervised on a regular basis. Still, given the fact that Scott was a teenager, he was viewed as an adequate babysitter for Amy.

Leading up to the night Scott and Amy vanished, Margaret had been going through a bitter divorce with her husband, Roger Fandel, who was Amy’s father. He was reportedly unfaithful and, following their split, relocated to Arizona by himself.

Once Margaret became a single parent, Scott and Amy were reportedly left unsupervised on a regular basis. Still, given the fact that Scott was a teenager, he was viewed as an adequate babysitter for Amy.

While their mother was out, Scott and Amy reportedly visited the home of the Lupton family, their nearest neighbors and close friends. The pair played at the Lupton’s for a while until they were eventually sent home for being too loud.

Margaret and Cathy returned home sometime between 2:00 a.m. and 3:00 a.m., at which point they found all the lights had been turned off in the cabin.

Additionally, they discovered an open can of tomatoes, a package of macaroni on the counter, and a pot of boiling water on the stove.

Margaret knew that Scott liked to have macaroni as a snack, but why he stopped in the middle of cooking remains unknown.

It’s also unclear whether she checked on her children before heading to bed that night, which has been a large point of debate online.

The following morning, when she woke up, Margaret realized the children weren’t home and supposedly thought they’d already gone to school.

However, Amy and Scott never returned home, and later that day, the Lupton kids came looking for them to play.

Margaret became panicked and ultimately contacted the Alaska State Troopers at 5:14 p.m. on September 5, 1978, and reported her children missing.

The Search For Scott And Amy

Authorities used search dogs from Anchorage to execute an extensive search of the surrounding wooded area, but the effort yielded no clues.

Additionally, they scoured ferries and told Canadian Mounties to keep an eye out for anyone trying to cross the border with the siblings.

Margaret contacted her ex-husband, Roger, who confirmed he didn’t have the children. He reportedly flew in from Arizona to assist in the search.

One potential theory involved two carnival workers from the Alaska State Fair whose black sedan had been seen speeding away from the cabin on the night Scott and Amy vanished. According to the men, though, they’d gone back to Sterling to pick up their paychecks.

They also claimed that they were only passing by the Fandel’s cabin after the kids had already gone missing. The men supposedly considered stopping by to visit, as they’d known the Fandels, but decided not to.

Another theory suggested that perhaps someone at Good Time Charlie’s had overheard that Scott and Amy would be at home alone that evening. This sparked speculation that the kids had been abducted. Still, it hasn’t been proven.

There's less than a month to go before online pornography becomes a lot harder to watch.

From July 25, porn sites available in the UK will have to perform stringent checks to ensure visitors are aged 18 or over.

In an attempt to stop children accessing porn, adults will have to submit ID or even have their face scanned, depending on what site they access.

Now, major porn providers have confirmed to online regular Ofcom that they will introduce these checks by next month's deadline.

They are Pornhub, the most-visited pornographic service in the UK, BoyfriendTV, Cam4, FrolicMe, inxxx, Jerkmate, LiveHDCams, MyDirtyHobby, RedTube, Streamate, Stripchat, Tube8 and YouPorn.

Ofcom said these 13 sites 'are happy to be named at this stage' and 'represent a broad range of pornography services accessed in the UK'.

But other porn sites not on the list, such as XHamster and XVideos, have to comply with the rule too. If any fails to do so, Ofcom can impose fines and in very serious cases apply for a court order to prevent the site or app from being available.

I was once told this at a private party when I entered that Nelsan Ellis, the star of "True Blood" (which was airing at the time) was there, and that no one was allowed to look at him or speak to him. I did not speak to him, but I also ignored the command to avert my gaze entirely (I'm not so rude I would stare at someone, even a celebrity, but I treated him otherwise like anyone else at the party, but I didn't speak to him).

The US military strikes on three of Iran’s nuclear facilities last weekend did not destroy the core components of the country’s nuclear program and likely only set it back by months, according to an early US intelligence assessment that was described by four people briefed on it.

The assessment, which has not been previously reported, was produced by the Defense Intelligence Agency, the Pentagon’s intelligence arm. It is based on a battle damage assessment conducted by US Central Command in the aftermath of the US strikes, one of the sources said.

I had to walk for about two hours outside today. There was no way around it. I had a bottle of Poland Spring. I nursed it but it got me through.

It was about 100 degrees F.

Got home and felt very listless but the weirdest part was the soreness around my eyes and all the salt deposits that kept coming out around my eyes — you know the little things in the corners of your eyes when you wake it. I had a lot, and it kept replenishing itself. That’s stopped now but I still feel soreness around my eyes.

For every 20 positions, there’s one qualified candidate, says one manufacturing chief executive.

President Trump’s pledge to revive American manufacturing is running into the stubborn obstacle of demographic reality.

The pool of blue-collar workers who are able and willing to perform tasks on a factory floor in the United States is shrinking. As baby boomers retire, few young people are lining up to take their place. About 400,000 manufacturing jobs are currently unfilled, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics — a shortfall that will surely grow if companies are forced to rely less on manufacturing overseas and build more factories in the United States, experts say.

Difficulty attracting and retaining a quality work force has been consistently cited as a “top primary challenge” by American manufacturers since 2017, said Victoria Bloom, the chief economist at the National Association of Manufacturers, which produces a quarterly survey. Only recently has the issue slipped down on the list of challenges, superseded by trade-related uncertainty and increased raw material costs due to tariffs, Ms. Bloom said.

But the scarcity of skilled blue-collar workers remains a long-term problem, according to Ron Hetrick, an economist with Lightcast, a company that provides labor data to universities and industry.

“We spent three generations telling everybody that if they didn’t go to college, they are a loser,” he said. “Now we are paying for it. We still need people to use their hands.”

The hiring challenges faced by American factories are multifaceted.

The president’s crackdown on immigration, which includes attempts to revoke deportation protections for migrants from troubled countries, may eliminate workers who could have filled those jobs.

Many Americans aren’t interested in factory jobs because they often do not pay enough to lure workers away from service jobs that may have more flexible schedules or more comfortable working environments.

For some companies, remaining globally competitive involves the use of sophisticated equipment that requires employees to have extensive training and familiarity with software. And employers cannot simply hire people right out of high school without providing specialized training programs to bring them up to speed. That wasn’t the case in the heyday of American manufacturing.

Attracting motivated young people to manufacturing careers is also a challenge when high school guidance counselors are still judged by how many students go on to college.

Some people do the talk, others do the work.

With that in mind, plus the fact that we don’t know the order in which they’ll come out, the rulings expected Friday morning (starting at 10 a.m. ET) are:

Birthright citizenship (sort of). Technically, the overall legality of President Donald Trump’s attempt to curb the constitutional guarantee of automatic citizenship for people born on U.S. soil isn’t at issue. Rather, the focus is on a procedural aspect of the litigation, specifically whether trial court judges were allowed to grant nationwide injunctions against Trump’s unconstitutional order, as opposed to more limited rulings. But the injunction issue is important in its own right and extends beyond the citizenship question, and whatever the justices say about injunctions will affect the underlying citizenship litigation too.

Religion vs. LGBTQ books in public schools. Some Maryland parents want to keep their elementary school-age kids away from LGBTQ-themed books. While the parents say they face an “impossible choice” between subjecting their children to instruction against their beliefs or losing out on public education, school officials say the parents aren’t deprived of religious rights just because their kids are exposed to material the parents find offensive.

Porn and the First Amendment. An adult industry trade group challenged a Texas law requiring age verification to access pornographic sites. The industry argued that an appeals court used the wrong legal standard when ruling against it. The impending ruling could have vast First Amendment implications beyond pornography.

Louisiana redistricting. As NBC News reported, this “unusual case” put civil rights groups “in a tentative alliance with Republican officials in defending a Louisiana congressional map that includes two majority Black districts for the first time in decades.”

Health care and the Constitution. The justices are considering whether a federal health task force is constitutionally structured, in a case involving its recommendation of coverage for HIV prevention medication at no cost to patients under the Affordable Care Act.

Phone and internet subsidy. This appeal over the government’s provision of affordable phone and internet services to schools, libraries and underserved areas raises a legal issue known as “nondelegation,” which looks at whether Congress properly outsourced its power, in this case to the Federal Communications Commission and a private nonprofit.

There was a glut of "The Ring"-inspired supernatural horror during this era. Many were bad and many have been forgotten, but most of them had high entertainment value despite this. I'll start: "Darkness Falls" (2003), about a vengeful ghost known as "The Tooth Fairy" who stalks a small seaside community. It starred Emma Caulfield and the gorgeous Chaney Kley, who died a few years later of a drug overdose.

A tentative truce faltered Tuesday when Israel accused Iran of launching missiles into its airspace after the ceasefire was supposed to take effect and vowed to retaliate.

U.S. President Donald Trump told reporters at the White House before departing for the NATO summit at The Hague that in his view, both sides had violated the nascent agreement he had announced earlier.

Iran “violated it but Israel violated it too,” Trump said. ”I’m not happy with Israel.”

He later wrote on social media that Israeli fighter jets would “turn around” and would not attack Iran — indicating the deal might hold.

A 26-year-old tourist tumbled into an active volcano in Indonesia after she was “abandoned” by a local hiking guide, her sister told Brazilian TV station Fantástico.

Brazilian citizen Juliana Marins slipped and fell down a cliff Saturday morning from a trail that overlooks Mount Rinjani’s famous crater lake. She descended deep into the volcano, but drone footage confirms she miraculously survived the more than 1,000-foot slide.

Gunung Rinjani National Park said in a statement Monday that Marins has been “successfully monitored using a drone in a position stuck on a rock cliff at a depth of 500 meters and visually motionless.” That is equivalent to 1,600 feet, but reports say Marin has slipped farther into the volcano since her initial fall on Saturday.

Chinese e-tailer Temu has started adding “import charges” of about 145% in response to President Donald Trump’s tariffs.

The fees, which began cropping up over the weekend after price hikes went into effect on Friday, cost more than the individual products consumers are buying and can more than double the price of a typical order.

For example, a summer dress sold on Temu for $18.47 will cost $44.68 after $26.21 in import charges are added to the bill, a 142% surcharge, a CNBC analysis shows. A child’s bathing suit priced at $12.44 will cost shoppers $31.12 when the $18.68 import charge is taken into account, a staggering 150% fee. A handheld vacuum cleaner listed at $16.93 now costs $40.11 when factoring in an import charge of $21.68, which is a roughly 137% markup.

“Items imported into the U.S. may be subject to import charges. These charges cover all customs-related processes and costs, including import fees paid to customs authorities on your behalf,” Temu explains on its website. “The amount listed may not represent the actual amount paid to customs authorities.”

Representatives from Temu didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

Rival discount retailer Shein has also hiked prices on its site, but it doesn’t appear to be implementing import charges. The company added a banner at checkout that states, “Tariffs are included in the price you pay. You’ll never have to pay extra at delivery.”

Unfortunately not pictured "flaunting" his torso or other assets, but let's do the math, shall we? His first major role was as a gay teen in Australia. His second major role was as a gay teen in Martha's Vineyard. And his next major role is James Dean's in "East of Eden," at minimum queer-coded as a Dean project.

Obviously playing a gay role doesn't mean an actor's gay IRL, but three in a row? Makes you wonder, even today. Zada's at least a little unconventional-looking, but I think it works. But I'm feeling like a perv since Zada was apparently cast in the general "Heartstopper" style: he's only 19 now, and was only 18 when he did "We Were Liars" (and 17 when he played a tortured Aussie teen).

The queen of disco is the subject of documentary ‘I Will Survive,’ which explores her battle to fulfill her dream of recording her first gospel album

If there is an icon who represents resilience, there’s no doubt that it’s Gloria Gaynor, every bit a survivor, with expertise in rising from the ashes. The documentary I Will Survive, now showing on Prime Video, portrays the struggle of the singer, beginning in 2015, to write and record a full-length gospel album. At the 2020 Grammys, when that very album, Testimony, won Best Roots Gospel Album, Gaynor proclaimed: “I am at last able to balance out my piano.” The words were a winking reference to the Grammy she won 40 years earlier with producers Dino Fekaris and Freddie Perren. That February 27, 1980 was the first and last time a Grammy was awarded for Best Disco Recording.

Gaynor is currently on tour in Europe, performing her greatest hits and songs off her recently released album Happy Tears. When she published her autobiography, also titled I Will Survive, she said that her life was far from over, an assertion she repeated during her EL PAÍS interview. Why does she think it’s important to tell her story? “I always say, I’m not smart enough to make an original mistake,” Gaynor muses. “I think that other people have gone through similar things, and I wanted them to see that it’s possible to survive and thrive after going through traumatic situations in your life.”

You were living in survival mode for a long time, but right now you’re thriving, enjoying life. How did you make that switch?

Answer. Mostly my faith. I was a Christian since childhood, but during my marriage, I began to really practice and try to be the best possible person I could be, and spread love and joy and peace and happiness.

He was at the center of a Supreme Court case that changed gay marriage. Now, he's worried.

When Jim Obergefell was sitting in the gallery at the Supreme Court on June 26, 2015, he was waiting to hear his name. The justices were preparing to rule on Obergefell v. Hodges, a case that became a landmark in the progress toward LGBTQ+ rights in the U.S. The case, which considered the rights of same-sex couples to marry, ultimately won favor with a majority of the justices, but for Obergefell, the moment wasn’t, and could never be, totally complete.

His husband, John Arthur, died years before the ruling was announced.

Now, 10 years on, he sat down with USA TODAY to reflect on how their love for each other helped shape the fight for marriage equality in the U.S., and what progress there is to still be made in the fight for equality.

Obergefell and Arthur met in 1992 and became engaged in 1993. That’s when their journey as marriage equality pioneers first began – and for Obergefell, continues into the present.

And from there, what was your journey to get married?

John and I just built a life together. We bought our first house. We built a great circle of friends and family in Cincinnati, people who saw us and treated us as a couple, as a committed couple.

It wasn't until 2011 that things really took an unexpected turn. John was diagnosed with ALS. Instead of seeing a few decades more together, we knew our time together was limited to two to five years or less. John progressed fairly rapidly, and by April of 2013 he started at home hospice care.

We could have put him in a facility, but we had to think about things that other couples didn't have to think about. How would he be treated as a gay man in a facility? How would I be treated as his partner of almost 21 years? We had nothing legal, no rights and we made the decision: Let's do at-home hospice care because that meant I could keep him safe and comfortable.

Tonight, she was on Sean Hannity smirking about how younger Democrats only care about being famous! Pot meet kettle! Actually, huge pot meet huge kettle. I honestly am at my wits end with this girl. I've tried my best, but she just WON'T STOP. Two days ago, I got a call from her favorite Chinese buffet, Sum Fat Sow, screaming at me that she came for the all-you-can-eat luncheon special AND ATE THE ENTIRE BUFFET!!! Even vacuuming up every fortune cookie in the restaurant! And this is the THIRD time this month this has happened! I've tried reasoning with her, I even paid for her to go to Jenny Craig -- she ate her!! What do I do? Help me!!!

The One Day at a Time star published a vulnerable Instagram post addressing "some of the most emotionally excruciating eight months" of her professional and personal life.

In 2024, the actress joined The Drew Barrymore Show as a lifestyle expert and began hosting Bingo Blitz on the Game Show Network, and also released a cookbook, Indulge. "And I still got my exhausted, sleepless ass up in the morning, put on a good face, and showed up, when all I wanted to do was stay in bed and sob," Bertinelli wrote. "This is not to say I feel sorry for myself because I don't."

Following her 2022 divorce from Tom Vitale, Bertinelli began dating writer Mike Goodnough in January 2024, but the couple ultimately parted ways this past November.

The man responsible for Taxi Driver, Close Encounters, and The Sting -- and Julia's husband when she was starting out. She paints a complicated picture of Michael in DL tome You'll Never Eat Lunch in This Town Again. It was his money that got their career started and when she went wild, he seemed content to meditate and pursue Buddhism. He attended Dartmouth having grown up in Roslyn NY. He was married to Julia! Can you imagine? I cannot.

Fun fact, his son-in-law, MRC ceo Mod Wiczyk, basically runs Hollywood now.

Jeff Bezos has reportedly been forced to move his Venice wedding party after locals threatened to fill the city’s canals with inflatable crocodiles to stop guests arriving.

Mr Bezos, the Amazon founder and one of the richest people in the world, had been expected to hold a party at a 16th-century hall in the middle of the city as part of the three-day celebrations for his wedding to Lauren Sanchez this week.

However, the couple are now moving the event to a more secure location following threats of protests by residents who have accused him of effectively shutting down Venice.

6-year-old with leukemia

Greg Josephson, 58, was stabbed dead by a 15yo boy in his own upscale Brisbane home last night during a house party involving 30 teenagers. But it gets worse for him after death.

Australia clamps down hard on any revelation of a minor criminal defendant's identity, So there's a ban on reporting the killer's identity in any way. But if you check out Reddit, multiple people are all saying Josephson was a dad trying to shut down his own son's unauthorized teenage party, and the son killed him. They know which schools the son was in, other details, that kind of thing. You can only find this on Reddit. No one on Reddit is saying it was not the son.

Enter the NY Post. They grab the story off "the wires" overnight, flesh it out with AI, and run it with a seamy headline and lead paragraph that really sounds like the dead guy was a rich pervert who lured a bunch of teenage boys to his home and then one of the boys must have "said no"... with a knife. Totally made up but that's where the Post commenters all go, instantly, in their brains... in large part because the Post sets it up for them to make exactly those inferences.

So yesterday afternoon Greg Josephson was just a dad and executive living his life. Then he was a dad who suddenly discovered his teenage son was throwing a party and dozens of teens were coming to the house. Now he's not only dead, killed by his own teenage son, but hordes of total strangers halfway around the world are jumping on a very distorted version of the story and calling Josephson a perv/pedo who got what he deserved.

Truth has become such a casualty these days.

Starts at 2:23 when the top becomes the bottom, but also remains the top in a way? I don't know, my mind is boggled.

These Latino twinks sure are at the forefront of anal science. Import them!

Good for her.

In her social media posts Thursday night, thanking fans for remembering her 83rd birthday, Barbra Streisand teased fans with a 'major announcement' coming on April 30. What, pray tell, can this big announcement be ?

The odds among fans favor the announcement will be she's releasing her long-awaited new studio album in the fall (most likely, at 83, the last album she'll be recording).

Many are saying it will be about her multi-part documentary and when it will be released.

Others are saying she's announcing another concert tour for this summer / the end of the year (doubtful, at 83).

Some are hoping a new movie - which will bookend her movie career (highly doubtful).

I think she'll announce she's closing her basement mall - too much competition from Amazon have driven tenants out.

I also think she may be announcing a 'special edition' of 'The Broadway Album' re-release to commemorate the 40th Anniversary in November.

Who knew?

I guess the better question is who DIDN'T Lou Reed hate?

This is awfully rich, though, considering some of Lou's output later in life:

[quote][Zappa] is the single most untalented person I heard in my life … He's a two-bit, pretentious academic, and he can't play rock 'n' roll, because he's a loser. And that's why he dresses funny. He's not happy with himself and I think he's right.

Mine is Northern European, with blue eyes and either blond or red hair, and uncut. Nice light layer of chest hair.

Who had any idea he was still alive?

I definitely remember seeing photos of the clothing and accessories on offer.

It’s that time of year. Who is coming to your state or county to prove they can still get drunk rednecks to shell out $50 or so bucks despite all common sense. Obviously, I expect a lot of,overlap

Hader was 20 when he first got to Los Angeles and took a job driving castmembers to production sets.

One day his passenger was none other than The Karate Kid star Kove, who Hader claimed intentionally got him lost on the way to work — in a ploy to buy some time to catch up on the project’s still-unread script, Hader claimed.

“I’m driving him around in my shitty car, and he got me lost on purpose,” Hader told Maron. “It was a terrible day.”

I've tried everything! Marinating in a combination of soy sauce and pineapple juice, I've used meat tenderizer and I tried baking / roasting at different temperatures and time frames. Nothing works always rubbery texture. What am I doing wrong?

And they're getting rather raunchy regarding Facebook standards about big bulges, dick and hot sex with men.

Donald Trump has again threatened news outlets over coverage he dislikes, this time The New York Times and CNN over their reporting on a preliminary intelligence assessment that raised doubts that the U.S. strikes on Iran destroyed their nuclear program.

The White House has been on the warpath against journalists over their reporting, even though the press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, has acknowledged the existence of the intelligence assessment. Trump and his allies have go so far as to accuse CNN and the Times of denigrating the members of the military who carried out the strikes, even though their reporting was not critical of how the mission was carried out.

That’s a wrap for Jake Tapper’s “Original Sin.”

The Biden bashing book has sold a total of 86,982 copies – well below 100,000 and not enough to stay afloat on the best seller lists, according to NPD Book Scan.

On Amazon, “Original Sin” is down to number 187 and will likely fall off the top 200 by the end of the week.

The book was promoted heavily on CNN with non stop shilling. Every show talked about it endlessly.

Tapper — whose ratings, like all of CNN pre-the Israel Iran War, fell precipitously — continues to go after Biden. He’s largely ignored any mistakes made by Donald Trump.

On Sunday, Tapper did a video podcast with former NBC correspondent Chuck Todd, where they questioned Biden’s family values — sad because Biden lost his wife and daughter in a car accident, his son to cancer, married again only once and is admired as a family man.

Trump, however, has been married three times, judged to be guilty of sexual harassment by a jury and owes his victim $83 million, and slept with a sex worker while his third wife was pregnant — then paid her off and covered it up.

Tapper (and Alex Thompson) will never be able to pay back their advance. The publisher can’t be happy that the book is the most reviled of 2025.

Who was it, and did they deserve it?

In 2018, Joe DiMeo was involved in a car accident that burned 80 percent of his body, changing the trajectory of his life in an instant. However, his resulting medical journey spanned years, beginning with the three months he spent in a coma.

Though he was unconscious in the immediate aftermath of the crash, the New Jersey resident does remember being able to hear people around him in the hospital. He can also recall the "bad dreams" that accompanied the pain of his earliest burn treatment.

"When they take you into the tank room — where they wash you off, take off all the bandages — that’s not fun. You can feel the pain. So you’re dreaming about pain," he says in the newly released video. “They’re not meaning to torture you, they’re just taking off the bandages, but it still hurts.”

What household implements did you put up your butt before you had access to adult toys / dick?

My main fella was a girthy highlighter. At Staples one day I spotted it and I think I told my mom I needed it for “studying”. I never intended to highlight anything.

I was an advanced reader at age 7 which made me very proud. I could read multiple books concurrently and was always looking for something new. So one day my mother gave me a book she had read and thought I would enjoy. Flowers in the Attic. I took it to school where it was confiscated by my teacher who sent a note home offering to help me choose more appropriate reading material. My mom must have told her to fuck off because I never heard another word about it. Apparently this sort of thing ran in my family. My aunt later told me that when she was 13 her mother gave her a copy of Mandingo. 😳

I'm spending my Christmas Eve cleaning my apartment and binge-watching Hoarders.

Imagine a religion, analogous to Christianity, but it’s called Virginianity.

In this religion, the wages of sin isn’t death, but RAPE. When a sinner dies, they gets sent to a place where they are raped for all eternity. God feels sorry for sinners, so he comes up with a solution.

He sends a daughter named Virginia who was born of a virgin. She goes around, performing miracles, amassing a following. She gets arrested, and she is condemned to be gang raped. She is publicly gang raped, and she is so injured from the gang rape that she dies. Three days later, her followers see that she is alive,

Her followers start a religion and call it Virginianity. Its followers are Virginians, and they believe that by being gang raped, Virginia paid the price for your sins by being gang raped. Virginia allowed herself to be gang raped because she loved the world. If you accept Virginia as your Savior, you can avoid an eternity of being raped.

These Virginians create a lot of Virginian art, often depicting Virginia’s rape.

Would this religion seem bizarre to a fundamentalist Christian? What would they think of a god that sends his daughter to be raped to save mankind?

OMG, the cakes on that guy in the orange shorts.

The camera man knew exactly what to film!

Prince William will strip his exiled brother Prince Harry’s children of their HRH titles when he becomes king after a provocative briefing by the exiled royal “flabbergasted” royal insiders.

The suggestion was tucked away in a report by The Guardian almost 10 days ago, which reported: “Prince Harry wants to keep the HRH titles for his children so that when they grow older they can decide for themselves whether they want to become working royals, or stay out of public life.”

The line about the HRH (His/Her Royal Highness) titles was not widely noticed by individuals in the royal circle until it was flagged by the Daily Mail’s Richard Eden this week, after which it flew around royal friends’ WhatsApp groups.
