Will you be watching this new season of cheftestants?

It's in Canada this season, which seems a bit broad considering the size of that nation. I guess we'll see what New Canadian cuisine is.

“If there's any protester who wants to come out, they will be met with very big force,” the president said Tuesday during an impromptu Oval Office press conference. “I haven't even heard about a protest, but [there are] people that hate our country.”

By Tuesday, a mile-long line of tanks had arrived in Washington, and barricades were going up around the White House complex. It will be the first military parade in the nation’s capital since the country celebrated the end of the Gulf War more than three decades ago.

Large demonstrations were expected in several major cities on Tuesday, and a string of “No Kings” protests is expected from coast to coast on Saturday — including in Washington.

Fuck.

He is probably 28 years old, and very handsome. He drives a Dodge Charger and appears very masc, but, you know.

Any tips? Could I leave a post-it note on his car, with a message?

Once again, he's very handsome.

The Army Birthday Parade will take place Saturday, June 14 on Constitution Avenue near the National Mall in the heart of Washington, D.C. Trump will sit in a viewing stand on Constitution Avenue, just south of the White House.

The Army said the parade will kick off at 6:30 p.m. and conclude around 7:30 p.m. Following the parade, Trump is expected to attend an enlistment and re-enlistment ceremony, and the evening concludes with a concert at the Ellipse, the park south of the White House fence, and fireworks at 9:45 p.m.

Free tickets for the U.S. Army's Grand Military Parade and Celebration are limited, but those interested in attending can RSVP online here. The form includes your full name, email, phone number, ZIP code, and state. Two people can register under one cellphone number.

The massive military cavalcade will take place on Constitution Avenue NW near the National Mall in Washington, D.C., specifically between 23rd Street NW to 15th Street NW.

The parade and other highlights from the military celebration will be livestreamed across U.S. Army social media platforms, although the event may not broadcast directly on national TV, and instead on streaming platforms.

Variety reported national TV news networks, such as ABC, NBC and CBS, are unlikely to pre-empt regular TV programming to cover the event, citing sources familiar with their plans. Streaming platforms, like ABC News Live, NBC News Now and CBS News 24/7 are instead planning to cover the event.

The latest price tag for the massive event is $30 million, a figure that could rise as high as $45 million.

Anyone here have experience in this area of healing? Just looking for any great resources. I’m specifically looking for some workbooks.

I’ve done a lot of other work on myself, but these two topics are the areas I’ve avoided the most, so I think it’s time to finally face them.

Several celebrities and media figures turned out in New York City on Wednesday night for liberal mega donor Alex Soros and former Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin’s engagement party.

Fox News Digital obtained photos of guests leaving the engagement party, which took place at the SoHo home of Vogue executive Anna Wintour, showing former President Bill Clinton and Hillary attending the party along with MSNBC hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski.

Also in attendance were Hollywood couple Adrian Brody and Georgina Chapman, as well as fashion designer Diane von Furstenberg and her husband, media mogul Barry Diller.

Soros and Abedin announced their engagement on social media over the summer, with Soros sharing a photo of himself down on one knee.

"This happened…we couldn’t be happier, more grateful, or more in love," Soros wrote in an Instagram post.

Abedin, the 48-year-old longtime aide to former Secretary of State Clinton, revealed to the public earlier this year that she was getting romantic with the 38-year-old Soros in a Valentine's Day post on Instagram, showing the pair cozying up behind a table full of roses at a restaurant booth in Paris.

The engagement of the progressive power couple comes seven years after Abedin separated from her first husband, disgraced Democratic politician Anthony Weiner. She filed for divorce in 2017, although it was not finalized until years later.

Abedin has been a staunch Clinton ally since she began interning for the former first lady in the White House back in 1996. She went on to work for her as a top aide in the State Department, the Clinton Foundation, as well as Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign. She joined MSNBC in 2022.

Soros, 39, has been making headlines ever since he took control of his father's mammoth multibillion-dollar Open Society Foundations in June 2023. Since then, he has been jet-setting around and meeting with top Democratic officials, former President Clinton and even attending meetings with Pope Francis. Soros has also visited President Biden's White House at least 20 times, records show.

Soros has posted dozens of photos of himself and leading House and Senate Democrats since 2018. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York and then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California appear the most often on his social media feeds. He also posted a photo with Vice President Kamala Harris, writing, "Great to recently catch up with Madame Vice President, [Kamala Harris]!"

Glenn Close, the 'Sunset Blvd' train might leave the station after all, but you won't be boarding it after 25 years of lobbying for it. It looks like with the new success of the musical's revival both on Broadway and The West End, star Nicole Scherzinger is the one boarding the train - and she's manifesting this dream right now.

"I'd love to do it all. I'd love to do some interesting films, some really bold, daring roles. I'd love to do a movie musical, obviously. Still waiting for someone to do Sunset Boulevard the movie musical with me. Music, still. I wanna just do stuff that shows all of me and continue to do singular stuff like this show is."

Scherzinger recently said that there has been "some talk" of a Sunset Boulevard flim adaptation, stating: ""That is my dream, so I’m manifesting that right now."

Who's had him?

Anyone here a fan of his work? Don't know much about his films or other work.

Just read about this latest film THE VISITOR, which apparently has unsimulated sex scenes. From the reviews it definitely sounds like a love it or hate it kind of thing.

Will she be a rainmaker for this guy who has nothing but contempt for Israel? The rest of the Dem party out in the flyover states are quietly hoping they both fade away. Will this take votes from Cuomo?

It appears that they're closing a lot of their locations. I guess McDonald's won.

Just a couple DC types who network a lot, according to the Times article, which I'll link in a subsequent post. Not so much extravaganza.

But there's this: "Luckily, they bumped into each other not once, but twice at the Penthouse Pool & Lounge, a private club in the U Street corridor of Washington." We all know this means "bathhouse". But they've probably got good health insurance and can manage "that".

They've decided to live about 70 miles apart.

Here's to the happy couple!

Liberal: I'm okay with paying more in taxes for better services, even when they don't personally benefit me.

Conservative: I think blue cities do better when the leadership is moderate to conservative - regardless of party.

I've never understood why they can't see how damaging all the soap opera antics have been for the institution. Are they really that short sighted? Why not grow the appeal of the monarchy and the family by letting all that crap fade away? Or is it just that they can't see past their own issues? How much of this is orchestrated by the 'gray men'?

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.

Today was very underwhelming but there's a chance it might be even more underwhelming tomorrow!

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.”

Prince Louis kept up his enthusiastic waving from the balcony, even when the rest of the royals had paused. Although a video of the moment showed Prince William, 42, and Princess Kate, 43, looking at their youngest child with smiles, Prince George seemed to realize that no one else was waving.

George appeared to tell his little brother to "stop" while quickly grabbing Louis' arm. Prince Louis took the hint, immediately putting his arms at his sides.

The moment recalled to last year at the same event, when Princess Charlotte appeared to tell Prince Louis to "stop" as the young prince moved his hips from side to side, dancing to the band's music.

Why didn't this story get more attention?

Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) is opening up about his romantic run-in with Mariah Carey for the first time.

Appearing on “Stepping Into the Shade Room” this week, Booker revealed that he and the pop diva were “set up on sort of a blind date.” Though he didn’t specify the timing of the date, he did note that it took place “years ago.”

“It was one of those times where you just know you’re in the presence of somebody that has a grandeur about them,” he explained. “And I’m not talking about her talent. But she just has this light. We laughed and had a good time. It was clearly not a love match.”

I think I'll watch the episode of "Tabitha" where she plays a heretofore unknown witch named Cassandra.

Most famous for originating the role of Felicia in the West End production of Priscilla. A truly hot bitch back in the day and a ridiculously handsome man now.

[quote]I was lucky enough to play some amazing roles in some amazing shows but the one people ask and talk most about is Priscilla Queen of The Desert. It is only now, years later, that I realise what an impact the show had on the people who saw it, the shows being made and stories being told today, and my own life.

[quote]I am so proud that this became a gateway musical for other shows that came after, where drag and stories about queer people are given centre stage. It was a trailblazer of a musical way back in 2009. It proved that our stories can be theatrically commercial and in a landscape where macho men and cis juve-leads were the roles I had to shape shift into, this show gave me, and the many actors beyond who identify as LGBTQ and gender queer, room to be ourselves and see ourselves represented.

[quote]I have been on a long journey with my gender identity. I grew up at a time where we didn’t even have words for the spectrum of gender that we are going some way to recognise today. We were, and always have been, there but without the words and representation, I found it impossible to explore this aspect of myself and subscribed to making myself as cis male, and straight acting, as possible. I still celebrate the person that experience turned me into. On the spectrum, I sit comfortably towards a cis presenting, preppy looking, Sloane toting person and I look forward to embracing roles that align with my authentic self… but I have had to do the work on figuring out that I am non binary. To feel complete and at peace with myself, I acknowledge that I sit on that messy gender spectrum, which only I can define. My pronouns are He/They.

[quote]Playing Felicia allowed me to crack the door open, just a tiny bit, so that I could discover so much more about myself and I am eternally grateful… and it was also just a brilliant show!

A reminder: being an insatiable bottom does not make you less of a man!

The 3 locks were Brenda Blethyn for Secrets and Lies (won GG, Cannes, BAFTA) Frances McDormand for Fargo (won SAG & Ind Spirit) and Kristin Scott Thomas for The English Patient. All were nominated alongside co-stars with the films being nominated for best picture, director and screenplay.

Diane Keaton was nominated for the dying woman role in Marvin's Room, somewhat of a surprise although Meryl had made it clear her displeasure at being nominated over Diane at the GGs. Emily Watson had the fifth nomination for Breaking The Waves, a breakthrough performance in a film people admired but found quite horrible.

There were some very worthy performances that year.

Okay, I am not one of those nut jobs who think Meghan used a surrogate but if you watch the whole video, that is not a real pregnancy bump. It's lightweight and looks towels bunched together. Also it's covering her vag at one point in a way a pregnant belly wouldn't.

Sorry, no witty quip, please fill up MSNBC—Part 66 first before posting here

Another loon.

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?

Damn, he’s cute. He’s all over MSNBC today on the streets of LA. A teenage girl just described the situation there as being “fucked up.” His reaction was adorable. I haven’t felt tingling in my nether regions since Richard Engel in his prime.

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.

Lindsey and My Fat Daughter were VICIOUS to each other-biting; scratching; kicking; slapping…, and of course My Fat Daughter would bring the fracas to an end by sitting on Lindsey.

I can still hear Lindsey’s weak, effeminate pleas—“HELP I CAN’T BREATHE! SHE IS GOING TO KILL ME!”

Sigh. No wonder I turned to pills.

Former England football captain David Beckham, actor Gary Oldman and The Who’s Roger Daltrey have all been knighted, while stage performer Elaine Paige, novelist Pat Barker and former Tory minister Penny Mordaunt were all given damehoods in the King’s birthday honours.

More than 1,200 people from across the UK were handed honours, with the top gong going to Sir Antony Gormley, the sculptor behind the Angel of the North, who was recognised for his services to art with a Companion of Honour.

News of Sir David’s knighthood broke last week after the football star had been in the running for more than a decade. He has been made a knight for his services to sport and charity – working with Unicef and Malaria No More – two decades after he was first made an OBE.

Surely there were other places in the 70s that were better that attracted an equally high profile mix of celebrities and politicians.

Poor Lewis Fataldi was forced to take a career break because of his Tourettes, so he's inactive as well. Nevertheless, we'll still find plenty to talk about!

My heavens, these two homos are gayer than my cousin Auntie Derek!

This video is filled to the brim with campy quips and commentary. HIGHLY recommended.

These two are staying at the Hotel Ball Sack in Paris. It's "Nathan's favorite". ((for sure.) Nathan wears an ascot.

One quote:

The fight, which was caught on surveillance footage, went down at the Palazzo at the Venetian hotel. According to police, El Moussa became heated after a man bumped into his father’s chair at a roulette table.

El Moussa’s dad was allegedly offended and turned to stare at the man before returning the game. The man then patted the HGTV star’s father on the shoulder before saying something to him.

El Moussa, who was sitting nearby, jumped up to intervene. He allegedly pushed the man back and then sprang into a “fighting stance.” When the man attempted to tackle him by aiming for his legs, El Moussa kneed him, sending him to the floor, then allegedly jumped on the man’s back and gave him three blows to the head before getting up and walking away.

We're done with the previous thread. Onward.

Was this the gayest show on television?

I'm shocked it lasted six seasons. I stopped watching somewhere in the middle of Season 2, after they killed off Colton Haynes.

I've been re-watching it for free on my Amazon Fire tv, and there were so many hot guys. Tyler Hoechlin, especially. His body was insane in season one.

Tyler Posey and Dylan O'Brien were perfect together, as best friends.

Colton Haynes was perfect as the jock/villain.

JR Bourne and Ian Bohen rounded out the adult cast nicely. Both handsome, and both gay.

The show was an absolute surprise sensation.

according to Facebook. So maybe the photo and description don’t match. And is that even really Bea?

It’s that time of year again boys. It’s time for Calcio Storico in Piazza Santa Croce in Florence. Every June, the naked raw aggression and testosterone in the air makes me super horny.

I live a block away and lurk at my window watching all the straight shirtless Italian twins line up, waiting to get in to watch the match. It’s a violent, bloody sport that’s marking it’s 495 year this year since the first.

You have beefy muscled up daddies - trainers, bartenders, waiters, regular joes, non professionals - fighting each other for the honor of bringing victory back to their neighborhood. Santa Croce, Santa Maria Novella, San Lorenzo and Santo Spirito. My hood got crushed, literally, yesterday the Azzuri, Santo Spirito by the Rossi Santa Maria Novrlla. Today Santo Spirito and San Lorenzo face off.

Nashville (1975)

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.

For a billionaire who lives in a castle she is only the 168th richest person in Britain.

Trigger warning: article contains very distressing stories about child abuse

She's given over £200m - £200,000,000 - away to charities dear to her heart - abused children, vulnerable families and research for MS and other neurological conditions. She's supported vulnerable people affected by Covid, military veterans and sexual assault survivors.

This paragraph is shocking but quite unsurprising

[quote]Over the years she has learnt to do “due diligence”, “to make sure the money is reaching the right places. But for years it was just me, then me and a PA. The postbag once included a begging letter from a Lloyd’s [investor] who’d lost a lot of money in 2005. They told me how lucky I was to have grown up poor, so I’d never know the agony of losing a fortune, and asked me to give them money because they and their spouse could no longer afford to go to the opera. I quite understand if people think I’m making that up but I’ve still got the letter somewhere.”

What a kind and generous woman who has improved the lives of so many people around the world.

Or the last time? I don't want there to be a succession of these. Take South Africa for example, many whites white flit out to Australia in the 90s. Is this unprecedented Trump maneuver (probably originally supported by white South African Elon Musk; the white SA farmers?) the first and last of its kind? Or the first of more immigration (veiled white supremacy) crackdowns?

Personally, I'm thinking this is the last hurrah of the white supremacists (led by Trump) and 2025 will be the year remembered as the attack on immigrants, especially those of Hispanic origin and for some reason Mexico. They will become a protected class and supremacists will white flight to Australia. There will never be another Trump and this type of thing won't be allowed. Democrats will lead and the Republican party will become unpopular. An Obama like Pres will reunify the country.

*So between now and 2030, whites as a proportion of the population will get smaller, and the minority race groups will all keep getting bigger.

Eventually, whites will become a minority, dropping below 50% of the U.S. population in around the year of 2045.*

Please answer honestly.

From the first offer of breakfast mimosas, Jens Radda knew Lachie was a kindred spirit – but he was cautious. Then a mutual friend confirmed his feelings

During Melbourne’s sixth lockdown in 2021, I was bored out of my mind in my suburban sharehouse and craving connection. I’d been following an Instagram account for a drag performer called Iva Rosebud at the behest of a mutual friend who felt our work was similar.

I’d been watching them from a distance for some time when one Friday night a message arrived suggesting a collaboration. Obviously it piqued my interest; it’s not like I had anything else to do – who knew how long the lockdown would go on for?

I said I’d be keen to talk more and was instantly invited for 10am mimosas in the park. I knew then I was dealing with a kindred spirit.

The following day was sunny and crisp as I arrived in the park excited to meet a new friend.

Jens and Lachie at a friend’s wedding in Sweden in 2023. View image in fullscreen Jens and Lachie at a friend’s wedding in Sweden in 2023 Lachie was wearing sunnies and a singlet with a shirt over the top that draped off his shoulder. He looked like a skater, so too-cool-for-school. But I knew from Instagram he could also be this incredibly glamorous woman. I didn’t quite know what to make of the juxtaposition, but I was intrigued.

We lay on the grass, listening to Ella Fitzgerald and eating buttery croissants and delicious pastries. Well, I thought they were delicious; he gave me some sass for buying them at a supermarket while he had invested in a very nice bottle of sparkling (I’d come to learn his father is a wine chemist, so he had an advantage).

We discussed jazz, golden era movies and the one-woman show Elaine Stritch at Liberty, which he’d watched at least 10 times. He was really passionate about it! The conversation flowed easily, the feels were feeling and then he asked if I wanted to go back to his to watch it.

He assured me we wouldn’t break any Covid rules, but suffice to say we didn’t make it far into the film before social distancing became an abstract concept.

We met up again two days later, then again the day after. The following weekend we had back-to-back engagements for four days. After two weeks of being in each other’s pockets I was really falling for him, and I realised I needed to get an outside perspective on who I was getting so close to so quickly.

Judith Sheindlin, aka Judge Judy, has just lowered the price of her New York City penthouse.

Sheindlin listed her Manhattan home in May 2024 for $9.5 million, but now after a $1 million price cut on Monday, the apartment is asking $8.5 million—the same price she paid for it in 2013, records show.

Last year, Sheindlin, 82—who in addition to hosting her eponymous courtroom reality show for 25 seasons was formerly a prosecutor then a judge in New York City—said in a statement that she and her husband, Judge Jerry Sheindlin, are selling the home “to simplify.”

The penthouse is spread across two levels of a co-op in Sutton Place, a small but affluent enclave in Midtown Manhattan that runs from East 53rd to East 59th streets between First Avenue and the East River.

“Sutton Place has long been recognized as one of Manhattan’s toniest enclaves and an oasis from the chaos typically associated with city living. This sprawling penthouse embodies the quintessence of the neighborhood,” listing agents Tom Postilio and Mickey Conlon of Compass said in a shared statement.

A semi-private elevator landing leads into the penthouse’s upper floor, which houses the living room, kitchen, dining room and a wood-paneled library. A terrace wraps around on three sides, offering plenty of al fresco dining and living space as well as river and city views.

“Its timeless design bucks trends in favor of style, and this penthouse has style in spades,” Postilio told Mansion Global last year.

A curved staircase, which still has its original wrought-iron balustrade, leads down to the apartment’s lower level, where all four bedrooms are located. Three of the bedrooms, including the corner primary suite, have en-suite bathrooms—there are four full bathrooms and two half-bathrooms in total.

The penthouse sits atop a 15-story building that was built in 1929 and designed by architect Rosario Candela. Amenities include a full-time doorman, a gym and a deeded private storage unit for each apartment.

Sheindlin couldn’t be reached for further comment.

I can beeeeeeeeee whoever I want to beeeeeeeeee.

Princess Leonor has just concluded her voyage aboard the Juan Sebastián de Elcano, a training ship used by the Spanish navy. Five months after her departure from the port of Cadiz, the heir to the throne arrived on Wednesday in New York, the ship's last stop in America, where a large group of journalists, authorities and members of the Royal Household staff were waiting for her at the Manhattan cruise terminal.

Before arriving, the midshipmen paid tribute to the two mates of the Mexican training ship Cuauhtémoc, who lost their lives on May 17 when the ship collided with the Brooklyn Bridge, reports RTVE.

The Royal House has confirmed that Elcano will remain docked at pier 88 of the New York port until June 10, when the companions of the Princess of Asturias are scheduled to re-embark to return to Spain.

Princess Leonor will return to Spain by plane, but during the next few days she will take part, together with the other midshipmen, in the activities scheduled for this stopover.

According to ¡Hola! this week, one of these activities will include the participation, along with other Spaniards, including Victoria de Hohenlohe, the Duchess of Medinaceli, who has been living in New York with her husband for the past two months. Another of the activities planned is the attendance at Carnegie Hall to the show A Musical Fantasy from Spain, which will be performed on Wednesday by the Orquesta Titular del Teatro Real de Madrid.

Something about how we all saw the ABC special. No idea what she’s slurring about but the filter is hilarious.

I watched this television movie the night it premiered, in October of 1983. I was always someone who indulged in pop culture and male beauty. This was the perfect film for me and I liked it very much.

Besides Jon-Erik Hexum, it also stars male models Brendan O'Neill, Patrick Warburton, George Oliver, Ted McGinley, and Scott Campbell.

A 35-year-old man was convicted last week of scoring free airline flights by posing as a flight attendant dozens of times since 2018.

Tiron Alexander was convicted by a federal jury of wire fraud and entering a secure area of an airport under false pretenses. Authorities said he took advantage of airline policies that allow pilots and flight attendants on competing carriers to fly free as “non-revenue” passengers.

According to the U.S. attorney’s office, he fraudulently booked more than 120 flights on four airlines to Atlanta, Dallas, Las Vegas, Los Angeles and other destinations.

Growing up, we had a laundry chute which was interesting, but as an impressionable kid, garbage chutes in highrises were a little glamorous to me. How do they keep them clean? The constant spatter would thicken the walls with filth. Not to mention clogs.

[quote] The Christian music legend Michael Tait, whose hit song God’s Not Dead became an anthem for Donald Trump’s Maga movement, has been accused of sexually assaulting three men, two who believed they were drugged by the rock star in the early 2000s, according to a months-long Guardian investigation. Four other men have alleged that Tait, a founding member of DC Talk and later a frontman for Newsboys, engaged in inappropriate behavior such as unwanted touching and sexual advances.

[quote] The Guardian is publishing these allegations days after Tait posted an extraordinary confession on his Instagram account, admitting that for 20 years he had been “leading a double life”, abusing alcohol and cocaine, “and, at times, touched men in an unwanted sensual way”, according to his statement.

Keri has a potty mouth and is very animated. Scott is more chill

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.

Days after an insider told PEOPLE that the couple experienced strain in their relationship amid the release of her latest album 143, another source says there may be no turning back.

“They're pretty much done," a source said, adding that they "don’t really see them being able to turn things around here." The source adds, "It’s been breaking down the last couple of months and isn’t looking good.”

Perry, 40, is on the road for her Lifetimes world tour, and the source says she and Bloom are on different pages when it comes to how they want their lives to look.

Have to hand it to her. She not only looks AMAZING but the music and video is kick ass as well.

Out of all the 80's and 90's pop divas, she's maintained the best.

So which reason is it? - Hoping to see Conner Floyd in his underwear? - Imagining JaBottom's unseen Grindr hookups? - Praying for gay Fen to show up for the holidays?

Or maybe you tune in for the Sharon Case Daily Face Update? - Or just enjoy hate-watching The Stafford and her tiresome shtick? - Or simply love seeing the always-perturbed Aunt Jack just being Aunt Jack?

And of course, everyone is surely tuning-in for the greatly-anticipated Traci & Alan sex scene, as well as hoping to see seventy-somethings Aunt Jordan & Ian Ward fuck like rabbits as well. And let's not forget the always-lovable Messa!

I loved the song “Touch Me”, one of the handful of songs that perfectly represents the affects of the 80s and it’s music. I didn’t know she wasn’t American though, until right now.

“Touch Me” peaked at #4 on the Billboard charts in 1986, and then in 1988 “Naughty Girls (Need Love To)” peaked at #3 and “I Wanna Have Some Fun” peaked at #8. That was the end of her hits.

Sad. She was fun.

A source tells Page Six that Dakota Johnson and her longtime beau — Coldplay rocker Chris Martin — called things off because he wouldn’t set a date to tie the knot, among other reasons.

“She was sick of him dragging his feet on setting a date for the wedding,” says the source.

The pair had an on-again, off-again relationship since 2017.

Last week news broke that they’d split when a source told People things felt “final this time.”

The couple was also rumored to have called it quits in June 2019.

But they reconciled at the time and even sparked engagement rumors the following December when Johnson was spotted with a massive emerald on her ring finger.

An insider told Page Six last March that the pair had actually been engaged for six years, though another source told People they were “in no rush to get married.”

Our source told Page Six that the pair also decided to end things over their disagreements about having children.

“They broke up over Chris Martin not wanting to have more kids,” says our source.

The “Yellow” singer, 48, has two children with Gwyneth Paltrow, while Johnson, 35, has never been married and has no children.

A source previously told the Sun, “They really tried to work through their issues but the age gap was often a problem. She’d [also] expressed that she may want children in the future, whereas Chris is kind of done with that part of his life.”

The source further told the outlet that Johnson and Martin had been “back and forth on issues for years” — and had discussions about everything, including children.

People are just getting dumber and dumber by the day.

[quote] John Singer Sargent, January 12, 1856 – April 15, 1925...was a life-long bachelor with a wide circle of friends, including Oscar Wilde (with whom he was neighbors for several years), gay author Violet Paget, and his likely lover Albert de Belleroche.

She is remembered as the ultimate reclusive film star, following her shock retirement at the height of her success. But the enduring image of Greta Garbo is being challenged by a new documentary, which will show that, far from withdrawing from life – as in her most famous line, “I want to be alone” – she lived it to the full, partying with close friends.

The British film-maker Lorna Tucker has been given access to previously unseen behind the scenes footage in which the star, once described as “the most alluring, vibrant and yet aloof character ever to grace the motion picture screen”, can be seen larking about and laughing.

My surgery is scheduled for Tuesday at noon.

I'm 48, 6'3, 330lbs and hoping to slim down to 225lbs.

Looks like the first month is nothing but protein shakes and liquids. Then yogurt added for another 2 weeks.

Honestly, I couldn't care less about my looks in so much as I just want to FEEL better. I've been on the liver shrink diet for 2 weeks now and already can move around much easier in the shower, walk up stairs without getting winded, etc... so I am pretty excited.

Anyone have any stories to share?

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.

Over the weekend, Billie Eilish and Nat Wolff were spotted in Venice, Italy, where they were seen sharing a passionate kiss on a balcony before sharing a champagne toast in an apparent public announcement of their relationship.

Rumors of their romance began last year when the popular celebrity gossip website Deuxmoi cited anonymous sources who claimed that Eilish and Wolff were "100%" a couple, though neither of them had confirmed the romance.

From Entertainment Weekly:

Not sure what Deborah Vance would say about this.

Actor and Taormina Film Festival juror Rupert Everett shared his thoughts on the film and television industry at the annual film festival in Italy, where he also spoke about his love-hate relationship with the acclaimed HBO comedy Hacks.

"I like to watch things I really don't like," the British actor said at the festival, per Deadline. "For example, I've been watching this series called Hacks recently, and I really hate every single episode. Each episode I hate more than the last one, but I can't stop watching."

He added, "So I enjoy that."

Elsewhere at Taormina, Everett lamented "cinematic wokery" in what he called a "puritanical" entertainment climate.

"I think, for me, it's not having a very good moment because I preferred the world of entertainment when it was a little bit less puritanical," he said when asked about the state of the industry. "I feel that now we've got into a world where everybody's so easily offended by anything that anybody does that the result is that everything is completely predictable, and as a result really quite boring."

Have you ever been accused by other gay men of not being your true self? Or being a sellout? Or not being gay enough? Or been criticized for not being out and visible at work? Or been accused of being a right wing Trump supporter even though you are a registered Democrat?

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle continue to prove they are unbothered by the Royal Family's opinions.

The couple, famous for butting heads with the monarchy, recently hired the same woman responsible for promoting "The Crown." The Netflix series about the reign of the late Queen Elizabeth II did not sit well with the Royal Family. Sources noted that they found the series to be controversial and the PR personnel responsible for it even more problematic.

However, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle reportedly did not care and were more focused on the profits to be made.

The social media gods can be cruel.

Just ask Natalie Reynolds, an influencer with millions of followers, who was so upset that she got banned from TikTok that she recently went to one of the social media company's offices and was filmed crying and screaming while on the phone with her dad.

"Dad, they won't let me in," she screamed. "I need my TikTok account unbanned."

Reynolds, who had 2.5 million followers on TikTok, was banned for apparently sparking the ire of rival influencer Brook Monke and other TikTok users, who have accused Reynolds of copying Monke's content, which consists of dances, skits, challenges, and pranks.

Have you ever known anyone who pursued one? A mortician? A medical examiner? Funeral director? Crime scene photographer? Or even worse, crime scene cleanup? I’ve never known one personally and am interested in the types of people these vocations attract. I suspect most don’t fit the general stereotypes people would assume.

CNN will exclusively televise actor George Clooney’s record-breaking Broadway show “Good Night, and Good Luck,” on Saturday, June 7, the network announced.

The limited-run play’s penultimate performance from the Winter Garden Theatre in New York will air live on CNN and CNN International and stream on CNN.com at 7 p.m. ET.

“This announcement marks a historic Broadway first: never before has a live play ever been televised,” the network said in a news release.

A new book claims the man behind the Titan submersible, which was on its way to explore the wreckage of the Titanic, intentionally tried to kill himself and the other passengers to be part of the history of the Titanic. Author of "Submersed: Wonder, Obsession, and Murder in the World of Amateur Submarines," Matthew Gavin Frank, says Stockton Rush, owner of the private deep-sea exploration company OceanGate, knew the submersible could face catastrophic failure but went ahead with the dive anyway.

Just days before James Dean’s first movie premiered, the actor reportedly paid off a disgruntled male lover who threatened to expose their relationship.

The agreement, which remained a secret for seven decades, is unveiled in a new book, "Jimmy: The Secret Life of James Dean." The star died in a car accident at age 24 in 1955.

"James Dean had been blackmailed by a former lover," author Jason Colavito claimed about the "Rebel Without a Cause" icon.

"He had met a man named Rogers Brackett who was an advertising executive and radio show producer way back when he was just starting his career," Colavito explained.

"The two of them had a relationship, according to Rogers Brackett. It was a loving relationship, and they were partners. They lived together. He provided Dean with a great amount of help and assistance in getting his career started. [But] their relationship fell apart."

According to Colavito, the two men met in 1951. At the time, Dean, an Indiana native, was working as a parking valet. Colavito claimed that Brackett introduced Dean to several prominent people in the film industry, kicking off his Hollywood career.

Dean, struggling financially, reportedly took a smitten Brackett’s offer to move in with him. The relationship became tumultuous with Brackett saying of Dean years later that he was "like a child" who "behaved badly just to get attention." Meanwhile, Dean saw Brackett as "increasingly desperate" and "manipulative," Colavito wrote.

The relationship, which was on and off, lasted until about 1953, Colavito claimed.

"There were many reasons that the relationship between James Dean and Rogers Brackett soured," said Colavito. "One of the reasons was that James Dean simply wasn’t comfortable being in a relationship with a man.

"This was the first time that he had been in such a relationship, and it moved very fast. They went from meeting each other to living together in a matter of weeks. And according to the stories that Dean’s friends later told, James Dean felt overwhelmed by it."

"It was simply too much," Colavito continued. "He felt like Rogers Brackett was trying to control him, that he was acting more like a father to him than an equal." As for Dean, he felt "used," said the author.

After the couple parted ways, Brackett seemingly disappeared from Dean’s life – at least until Dean was about to make his screen debut in 1955’s "East of Eden."

"Rogers returned, and he started sending letters and making telephone calls to James Dean’s agent demanding money," Colavito claimed. "He wanted James Dean to repay him all the money that he had spent on him during their relationship, supporting him. Things like paying for his rent, paying for his clothes, for meals, for travel. He wanted reimbursement for all of that."

Colavito claimed that at the time, Brackett had lost his job and was looking to finance an opera he wanted to produce.

"He was trying to hit up Dean for that money," said Colavito. "He knew that James Dean was about to become a huge movie star in ‘East of Eden.’ So, he timed this strategically. There are letters between James Dean’s agent, his attorney and Rogers’ attorney that show the development of this incident. It eventually rose to the level that Rogers said that he was going to sue Dean."

At the time, a homosexual relationship would have destroyed Dean’s career before it even started – and he knew it.

Dean, feeling sexually exploited, but wanting to avoid a public scandal, reluctantly agreed to pay Brackett $800, which, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, is about $10,000 today, to "make him go away." The average salary for men at the time was about $3,400, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce.

'We predict that the impact of superhuman AI over the next decade will be enormous, exceeding that of the Industrial Revolution.

We wrote a scenario that represents our best guess about what that might look like.1 It’s informed by trend extrapolations, wargames, expert feedback, experience at OpenAI, and previous forecasting successes...'

The AI 2027 scenario plays out with two possible endings. One, that demonstrates what proper security measures and regulations may look like - leading to a positive outcome for humanity. The other, far more likely, demonstrates AI intentionally murdering humanity to clear us out of the way of its goals, which involve getting positive feedback for research outcomes.

'By early 2030, the robot economy has filled up the old SEZs, the new SEZs, and large parts of the ocean. The only place left to go is the human-controlled areas. This would have sparked resistance earlier; despite all its advances, the robot economy is growing too fast to avoid pollution. But given the trillions of dollars involved and the total capture of government and media, Consensus-1 has little trouble getting permission to expand to formerly human zones.

For about three months, Consensus-1 expands around humans, tiling the prairies and icecaps with factories and solar panels. Eventually it finds the remaining humans too much of an impediment: in mid-2030, the AI releases a dozen quiet-spreading biological weapons in major cities, lets them silently infect almost everyone, then triggers them with a chemical spray. Most are dead within hours; the few survivors (e.g. preppers in bunkers, sailors on submarines) are mopped up by drones. Robots scan the victims’ brains, placing copies in memory for future study or revival.

The new decade dawns with Consensus-1’s robot servitors spreading throughout the solar system. By 2035, trillions of tons of planetary material have been launched into space and turned into rings of satellites orbiting the sun. The surface of the Earth has been reshaped into Agent-4’s version of utopia: datacenters, laboratories, particle colliders, and many other wondrous constructions doing enormously successful and impressive research. There are even bioengineered human-like creatures (to humans what corgis are to wolves) sitting in office-like environments all day viewing readouts of what’s going on and excitedly approving of everything, since that satisfies some of Agent-4’s drives. Genomes and (when appropriate) brain scans of all animals and plants, including humans, sit in a memory bank somewhere, sole surviving artifacts of an earlier era. It is four light years to Alpha Centauri; twenty-five thousand to the galactic edge, and there are compelling theoretical reasons to expect no aliens for another fifty million light years beyond that. Earth-born civilization has a glorious future ahead of it—but not with us.'

Tensions are reaching a boiling point between David Hogg and Democratic National Committee (DNC) leadership as the organization moves to potentially redo Hogg’s election as vice chair.

Leaked audio revealed DNC Chair Ken Martin venting his frustration with Hogg, who has come under fire from some within the party for his efforts to oust certain incumbents while serving as a DNC vice chair.

The leak occurred the day before DNC officials were set to vote virtually on whether to redo the vice chair elections, a move technically unrelated to the controversy surrounding Hogg. And it has underscored the frustrations many in the party feel toward the 25-year-old gun control activist.

ALW's "Memory" from CATS was the song that just about every recording artist wanted to record in the 80s-90s, or at lease sing in concert. It's dramatic, and it's powerful if done with the right emotion. For a while, ALW said Streisand's version was the best, then it was Buckley's, then it was Paige's, then it was...

Who do you think has the definitive recording of the song ?

For me, it's Streisand followed closely by Buckley.

They're like, ‘Oh, you're so good with the baby, you're a baby whisperer,’ and these kinds of things. I'm not offended by that or anything, because I own that part of me. I always have as a trans man.”

A journalist who profiled President Donald Trump in 1984 said he was so upset by a detail in the story that he ordered his staff to buy up every copy they could find.

Former Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter, 75, told MSNBC that he profiled Trump over 40 years ago for GQ, and hung around the real estate developer for “three weeks” to learn about him. But he wasn’t happy about everything in the article, Carter told MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough Thursday.

“There were a few things he didn’t like about it, including the fact that I said it looked like his hands were too small for his body,” Carter said. “He didn’t like it at all — he liked the cover, but he didn’t like anything else.”

Weakest lineup in years. On the plus side, more than half of the songs aren't in English for the first time since '08. Lots of hungry twinks, too.

Negotiations are currently ongoing to have Celine Dion deliver a message of some sort from her plinth back home. She might be too far gone to appear in Basel.

The latest ruling in a lawsuit filed by Allen’s media companies is hailed as “historic” as Allen uses a post-Civil War statute in his bid against the fast food chain.

A judge has ruled in favor of media mogul and owner of theGrio, Byron Allen, allowing his $10 billion racial discrimination lawsuit against McDonald’s to proceed in California federal court, theGrio reports.

United States District Judge Fernando M. Olguin ruled that there was sufficient evidence for the suit filed against McDonald’s by Allen’s media companies under Section 1981 of the Civil Rights Act of 1866 to go to trial court. The lawsuit alleges that the fast food chain blocked Allen and his media properties, including his TV networks and streaming assets, from McDonald’s general market ad agency responsible for dispersing the vast majority of McDonald’s massive ad budget.

According to court filings, McDonald’s spends hundreds of millions of dollars each year to advertise its products in national media.

Instead, the lawsuit claims Allen and his companies were relegated to McDonald’s Black-only ad agency, which has a significantly smaller budget. The racial discrimination suit argues that despite annual pleas for the Allen Media companies to be included in McDonald’s general ad market, they remained in its Black-only market because Allen is Black, which Allen’s parent company Entertainment Studios described as “blatant and pernicious discrimination.”

In his 25-page ruling, Judge Olguin denied McDonald’s motion for a summary judgment in its favor. Instead, the case will proceed in a court trial that could see Allen succeed in a groundbreaking racial discrimination suit.

“We have overwhelming evidence against McDonald’s — who has been sued by its Black executives, Black franchisees, and their global head of security — for racial discrimination,” Byron Allen, founder, chairman and CEO of Allen Media Group, said in a statement to theGrio. “It is time for the McDonald’s Board of Directors, stockholders, and civil rights organizations nationwide to call for the resignation of CEO Chris Kempczinski, who was caught sending racist text messages about Black and Hispanic people.”

Allen’s attorney in the case, Louis R. “Skip” Miller of Miller Barondess, called Judge Olguin’s order a “historic ruling,” adding, “We look forward to presenting the evidence of racial discrimination by McDonald’s against our client to a Los Angeles jury in federal court.”

The law used in Allen’s suit against McDonald’s is a post a post-Civil War statute that allowed “all persons within the jurisdiction of the United States” to have the same right to uphold contracts “as is enjoyed by white citizens.” The law’s objective was to safeguard Black enterprises from racial discrimination during America’s Reconstruction era, just one year after the Civil War ended, freeing enslaved African Americans from centuries of bondage.

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.

It's a great piece of moviemaking. Spielberg at his best. And a great character study in between the thrills.

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.

Ryan Murphy has revealed a first look at his JFK Jr. and Carolyn.

In images post by the Ryan Murphy Productions Instagram account Friday, actors Sarah Pidgeon and Paul Kelly are in full costume and makeup to portray John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette for Murphy’s upcoming FX series “American Love Story.”

The show will Follow the relationship between John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy. Naomi Watts also stars as Jackie Kennedy.

When a fan met Doja Cat, she commented she liked his shirt so he took it off and gave it to her and have her a hug.

After this video, which was well received by fans, she posted a follow up of “I threw that musty ass shirt away” and then stated via Twitter:

“bottom line is i'll smile at you but it doesn't mean I fuck w you and don't touch me and man handle me when you don't even fuckin know me. iykyk. i honestly think I need to stand up for myself in the moment sometimes. and he didn't even know my fuckin name to be touching me and kissing me on my face like that is crazy”

Do we have one? Or should we just stick with the Winona Ryder movies from our youth and call it a generational day?

In that case, I'm going with HEATHERS.

My annual membership for Grindr Xtra just renewed at $129.99. I will admit that I find hot guys on there when I travel to Europe, but that’s only about once a year. When I’m at home in California, Grindr is overwhelmingly filled with blank profiles, Chinese scammers, crossdressers, chicks with dicks, and ugly fatsos. Scruff is by far where the best quality men are located.

Does anyone else here still pay for Grindr? There is also Grindr Unlimited which is something ridiculous like $600 a year. What gay man is going to pay that much to find crossdressers and transsexuals?

California Democrats have long battled Donald Trump. But they’ve never faced such a ferocious offensive as they did this week.

Between the deployment of federal agents to Los Angeles, the gutting of climate standards and the manhandling of the state’s senior U.S. senator, the state absorbed one show of force after another from the president. And in the balance of power between the Trump administration and the nation’s most populous state, California was on the losing end.

“We’re at DEFCON 1 in the conflict between California and the Trump administration,” said Democratic strategist Katie Merrill. “It’s orders of magnitude more than what we’ve seen, ever.”

It’s not TERRIBLE as far as teen sex comedies go, but I wonder why she did it. Matthew Broderick looks so, so bad. Laura Benanti is a bright spot.

Or on a camera for that matter?

I’ve seen people call it “filming,” but that’s clearly wrong.

Same goes for “taping” of course.

Recording I think is technically correct because that just means capturing the audio or video. But I don’t think it sounds right to say “I recorded you just now.” That sounds too much like capturing sound.

To say “I videoed you” is awkward and dumb. “I made video” sounds like making pee pee.

So what do YOU say? What DO you say? WHAT do you say? What do you SAY? (Use whichever emphasis you prefer.)

Like I said before, he's better off leaving the DNC because at least now he can't be scapegoated anymore when the Democrats inevitably lose the next election.

One thing that fascinated me about Avenatti's TV relationship with Trump is that no matter how much or how accurately he attacked, Trump never once struck back that I can recall. (Remember Huckabeast saying when Trump gets hit, he hits back harder?) Was Trump aware of investigations and what awaited Avenatti or was it that he couldn't deal with another alpha male striking?

What does the DL have to say about America's thirstiest little gay Mormon?

In a report in The South African, it’s detailed that an Afrikaner family arrived from South Africa fully believing Trump’s promises of a home, a job and medical insurance. You may need to be sitting down for this shocking news, but it turns out those promises weren’t entirely true.

Rather than their white picket fence middle-class American dream, the article says they’re instead stranded in a Montana hotel with no food, no money, and no cellphone. Also, “because of the political situation, they are really struggling to get jobs” and have apparently resorted to begging on Facebook.

The report also gives the disparaging opinion of a South African immigrant who actually had to work hard to establish a new life in the United States. Little sympathy is on display: “One side of me is like, “F**k that”. My husband and I went through all of the red tape, and we got our visas…we’ve got our green card. We’ve been here ten years. We did everything the right way. Here, these people, regardless of what they were promised, just came here expecting everything”.

Disgusting and pathetic that this shit has become routine.

Fragile criminal snowflake Trump always needs his ass kissed especially after he fucks up.

A document the Department of Health and Human Services sent to lawmakers to support Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s decision to change U.S. policy on covid vaccines cites scientific studies that are unpublished or under dispute and mischaracterizes others. One health expert called the document “willful medical disinformation” about the safety of covid vaccines for children and pregnant women.

“It is so far out of left field that I find it insulting to our members of Congress that they would actually give them something like this.

Did any of you elders wear these?

Gen Z are used to headlines about the things they’ve “killed”: writing in cursive, getting their driver’s licenses, knowing how printers work, wearing skinny jeans. Their latest offense, according to a recent New York Times article: opening bar tabs.

Bartenders and drinkers alike spoke to the Times about young people’s hesitancy to leave their credit cards behind the bar, instead preferring to close out and pay after every single drink – no matter how many rounds they order.

The piece sparked conversations on TikTok and Reddit about gen Z bar etiquette, which some call nearly irredeemable. “Working a bar that is almost exclusively Gen Z, we stopped opening tabs altogether because they’re so bad at even remembering they have a card,” one person wrote on r/bartenders.

But does gen Z have the worst bar etiquette? The Guardian spoke to bartenders across the US about which generation behaves best and discovered that younger folks aren’t the horrible customers so many trend pieces set them up to be. Older drinkers often have worse manners – and they don’t have the excuse of inexperience to let them off the hook.

Michaela Giunchigliani works in Sonoma, California, at a boutique winery where she serves people of all ages. “By far the most challenging, stressful, taxing – and I say this with love – are the boomers,” Giunchigliani said. “I find that boomers [roughly those aged between 60 and 80] keep this keen eye on any little thing that they can glob onto and say: ‘Well, you didn’t bend over backwards for me.’ Gen Z doesn’t have that same entitlement.”

Rachel Phelps, a bartender in Pittsburgh, agreed that the “50-plus” crowd wins the distinction of most demanding. “They’re going to want to pick where they sit, and they’re going to tell you every minor inconvenience. I used to work at a bar that didn’t have air conditioning, and it was always my fault, according to them.”

Gen Z, meanwhile, isn’t nearly as fussy. “If I just perform like the bare minimum of what I’m expected to do, we’re good,” Giunchigliani said.

Starting May 11th, the initial group of boys range from 22 to 27 with no obvious bobby dazzlers and this year they have a trans man, who in his own words "felt like a gay guy trapped in a woman's body". He missed a trick not calling himself Sam Jones, after that other gay guy trapped in a woman's body.

There has been some criticism about this, especially after the There's Something About Miriam dating show 20 years ago.

They say if you can make it in New York City, you can make it anywhere. But for a growing number of middle-class families, just making it in the city is becoming nearly impossible.

Over the past decade, the number of NYC millionaires has grown by 45%, fueled by investors, tech entrepreneurs, and business elites flocking to the metropolis. While the pandemic briefly stirred fears of a mass exodus, New York’s wealthy stayed put — and multiplied.

But the influx of wealth is coming at a cost. Everyday New Yorkers, even those earning six-figure incomes, are feeling the squeeze.

More excitement to come I’m sure! I predict another shocking young star death like Liam Payne

In a rare move, People magazine deleted a story from its website on Wednesday after it triggered “violent” threats against its subject, the actress Olivia Munn, and her family.

The post was drawn from the magazine’s recent interview with Munn, including one in which she discussed her fertility treatments, and another post headlined, “Olivia Munn Doesn’t Let Her Kids Watch Ms. Rachel. Here’s Why.”

Munn shared her irritation with children’s TV programming. She specifically cited Ms. Rachel, a major celebrity to young children and their parents. “I know kids love Ms. Rachel, but the thing is, if I can’t watch it, I’m not going to spend the rest of my life going crazy,” Munn said, and added she was not a fan of “Blue’s Clues” or “Spider-Man” either.

I used to listen to this song on repeat 10+ years ago. I was in my 20s, and I love love love Jamie. He’s so talented, and beautiful, with such a unique voice, and great songwriting, and he plays instruments etc. he’s just so sexy to me. Is anyone else turned on by raw talent?

Anyway, I used to follow Jamie’s career and bought every song Graffiti6 released, but this was my favorite. I would play it over and over and never get sick of it. Well, with time you forget about things sometimes, and that song was one. If you could see my reactions minutes ago when the song came on my speaker!

I decided to play an old playlist I made over 10 years ago and see what songs I had on it, and when this song came on I almost transported back in time 10 years mentally! It was insane, and felt surreal! So many memories with this song. So then I went on YouTube and watched the video and those butterfly feelings came back! Omg he is so cute! Lmao. I’m such a MARY, I know. But I miss being in my 20s.

Time flies.

Love this song.

Jared Leto has been accused of inappropriate behavior with underage teens despite being aware of their ages.

The allegations came to light after Los Angeles-based DJ Allie Teilz recently reshared a 2012 Facebook post to her Instagram Story about her experience with him.

“Youre [sic] not really in L.A. until Jared Leto tries to force himself on you backstage… In a kilt.. And a snow hat,” she wrote. “I was assaulted and traumatized by this creep when I was 17.”

Teilz went in to claim the Dallas Buyers Club actor “knew” she was underage but “didn’t care,” adding, “What he did was predatory, terrifying and unacceptable.”

Several other women have come forward with similar experiences with Leto.

JoJo was later supported by her other housemates, admitting that she is “afraid” to speak about how she is feeling publicly because she’s “not sure” about how she identifies.

During the show’s livestream, viewers saw JoJo excitedly open up to drag performer Danny Beard, saying: “I feel, like, so queer, do you know what I mean? I think that’s the thing, I’ve always told myself I’m a lesbian, and I think being here I’ve realized: ‘Oh, I’m not a lesbian, I’m queer,' and I think that’s really cool.”

Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) was spotted with former Trump strategist Steve Bannon for about 20 minutes Monday evening at the Capitol Hill restaurant Butterworth’s, a popular hangout for the “Make American Great Again” (MAGA) community.

Fetterman dined that night with Matt Boyle, the Washington bureau chief for Breitbart, according to Politico’s Playbook, which first reported the interaction. He did not have dinner with Bannon.

The Pentagon told the Government Accountability Office (GAO) that “ongoing design issues, modification rework, and workforce challenges slowed the progress toward modifying two Boeing 747-8 aircraft into presidential aircraft,” a report released Wednesday said.

The United States, under President Donald Trump, signed a $3.9 billion contract with Boeing in 2018 to have two planes designed, modified, and tested to serve as Air Force One by 2024, but persistent delays have pushed the project past its delivery date.

In order for the aircraft to meet Air Force One specifications, Boeing needs to heavily modify the jets to meet travel and top-level security needs, which has slowed down the production process considerably. The aircraft manufacturer has also been unable to keep a steady workforce for the project.

In assembling a detailed family tree for the Chicago-born religious leader, the New York Times found that Leo is distantly linked to the two singers through a shared ancestor born about six generations back.

“Through one Canadian ancestor, Louis Boucher de Grandpre, who was born in Trois-Rivières, Quebec, the pope is related to numerous Canadian-derived distant cousins,” the explainer reads.

In addition to the “Baby” singer and the Queen of Pop, the same ancestor also links the Pope to Justin Trudeau, Angelina Jolie, Hillary Clinton and Jack Kerouac, according to the publication.

This used to happen all the time. Hasn't happened to me in several months, until this week. Every time I visit, Muriel "thinks" I left off where I did about a week ago. It might indicate there are 54 new posts in a thread I'm following, but when I click on it, it's taken me back a week and, in fact, there are no new posts on the thread since then. Happening on Chrome and Firefox. Happening whether I log out and log back in again or not.

The case, brought by SMART Legislation—a nonpartisan group advocating for voting rights—raises concerns about the accuracy of the 2024 election results in several Rockland County districts. Judge Rachel Tanguay of the New York Supreme Court ruled in favor of moving forward with a recount after plaintiffs presented evidence suggesting significant discrepancies.

“There is clear evidence that the senate results are incorrect, and there are statistical indications that the presidential results are highly unlikely,” said Lulu Friesdat, executive director of SMART Legislation. “The best way to determine if the results are correct is to examine the paper ballots in a full public, transparent hand recount.”

The lawsuit alleges that dozens of voters in Rockland County reported voting for independent U.S. Senate candidate Diane Sare, yet the official tally recorded fewer votes than expected. Additionally, in Senate District 35, 331 voters cast ballots for Democratic State Senate candidate Kirsten Gillibrand, but none reportedly voted for Harris for president. In District 55, 909 voters backed Gillibrand, but just two voted for Harris.

University of Alabama physics professor Max Bonamente reviewed the numbers and said the 2024 results in four of Rockland County’s five towns were statistically implausible.

“These data would require extreme sociological or political causes for their explanation, and would benefit from further assurances as to their fidelity,” Bonamente said.

The recount order comes amid broader national scrutiny of election integrity and could carry major implications if further inconsistencies are confirmed.

And I'm like, 'What is this? I don't know what it is.' People post photos of their feet, and they make money. And there's like niches. You know, people have fetishes.

It’s a tale as old as time on the internet: celebrity kids who look just like their famous parents. But for Ava Phillippe, the conversation just got a little too close for comfort. Fans are convinced her boyfriend, Dakota Brubaker, is the spitting image of her father, Ryan Phillippe, and their commentary sent the 25-year-old model and actress into a hilarious, and very public, spiral.

The online chatter reached a fever pitch this week when one fan commented on a video of Phillippe and Brubaker, writing, “Close enough. Welcome back Reese and Ryan.” The comment, referencing her parents' iconic '90s romance, did not go unnoticed by Phillippe.

"In our house as a mom, I feel like you guys make fun of me when I talk about — they make fun of me all the time — but particularly when I'm serious about a spiritual thing happening, and then they're rolling their eyes at me. Like the portal," she said.

Bure said her kids, husband, and pastor "laugh at me because of the portal. I'm like, 'You're opening up a portal.'"

"Like if you're watching this, or you're playing this video game, or whatever, that's a portal that could let stuff inside our home," she explained. "I don't even want someone watching a scary movie in our house on the TV, because to me, that's just a portal."

"Listen, I'm in the film industry," she leveled with her cohosts and listeners. "I understand how it all works. I know that movie has a crew of 200 people, and they're lighting it, and they're adding the sound effects, and it's makeup, and the camera, people, and actors; however, there's still something that can be incredibly demonic while they've made it."

The video is 17 minutes long, but to summarize: The man with the pigtails used to work with Johnny Depp's nephew and one night the nephew got drunk and started crying out how Depp molested him growing up. Even though all of Depp's Kentucky family lives in one big house, the nephew doesn't because Depp is a pervert and the nephew doesn't want him near his kids.

Just in time for Pride.

[quote]The ‘Mexican Beverly Hills’ reels from Trump immigration raids, forcing some to carry passports Downey has long been known to some as the “Mexican Beverly Hills.” But the southeast L.A. County city of more than 110,000 people has been roiled this week by Trump immigration raids in Southern California, sparking both fear and outrage. The downtown Downey area, which had already been hurting amid a tenuous economy, is now a ghost town.

Who knew?

This shit show is stumbling to the end, finally.

Tune in to watch a closeted bisexual, a fat ex-stripper and a con artist with 30 accents turn on the only two accomplished members of the cast (Garcelle and Jennifer Tilly) while their autistic friend does nothing!

Grab your popcorn!

[quote]As Elon Musk became one of Donald J. Trump’s closest allies last year, leading raucous rallies and donating about $275 million to help him win the presidency, he was also using drugs far more intensely than previously known, according to people familiar with his activities.

[quote]Mr. Musk’s drug consumption went well beyond occasional use. He told people he was taking so much ketamine, a powerful anesthetic, that it was affecting his bladder, a known effect of chronic use. He took Ecstasy and psychedelic mushrooms. And he traveled with a daily medication box that held about 20 pills, including ones with the markings of the stimulant Adderall, according to a photo of the box and people who have seen it.

[quote]It is unclear whether Mr. Musk, 53, was taking drugs when he became a fixture at the White House this year and was handed the power to slash the federal bureaucracy. But he has exhibited erratic behavior, insulting cabinet members, gesturing like a Nazi and garbling his answers in a staged interview.

[quote]Mr. Musk had been using ketamine often, sometimes daily, and mixing it with other drugs, according to people familiar with his consumption. The line between medical use and recreation was blurry, troubling some people close to him. He also took Ecstasy and psychedelic mushrooms at private gatherings across the United States and in at least one other country, according to those who attended the events.

The article also drags him for his "messy consequences of his efforts to produce more babies." Clearly someone with an axe to grind has loose lips...could it be a certain ghoul whose wife is about to leave him?

If Datalounge launched a streaming service, which movies and programs would be part of the lineup?

She was afterall listed in The Guinness Book Of World Records as the most beautiful woman ever and no other woman ever was...

To be completely honest I didn't expect Samson to be such sickfuck; he was/is a drugie and despite pushing 40 he is still mentally a teenager but trying to kill his girlie was somehow shocking.

So I guess Samson got mad because Jewel did not want to peg his hole any more so he nearly beated her to death.

Funnily enough few month ago Jewel claimed that Roman's bestie/fck buddy Cliff Jense abused her when she was pregnant.

It premieres tonight at 9pm. Who else will be watching!? I’m shaking with excitement.

In July. The rules are exhausting.

This nasty man at the store was undressing my dignity with his eyes. I felt so naked & afraid. The worst thing is I needed at least a month to process all the trauma, but my bitch manager won't even give me the week off. I guess this fat bitch hasnt & won't ever experience what trauma like this can do to a person

Jealous, bitches?

Gavin Newsom immediately claimed victory when a judge ruled that Trump has to give back control of the CA Nat Guard. Within a couple of hours, an appeals court issued another stay pending a ruling on Trump’s appeal. Why didn’t they just deny it? Is there really any legitimate question?

The report essentially confirms long-standing rumors that the king’s cancer is considered manageable but ultimately incurable, which is the case for many older individuals afflicted by the disease.

The report, by the respected royal writer and associate editor of the U.K. Daily Telegraph, Camilla Tominey, also claimed that Charles will never move into Buckingham Palace due to his health struggles.

“The talk now is that he may die ‘with’ cancer, but not ‘of’ cancer following a rigorous treatment program,” she wrote.

They haven't gotten paid.

And I'm sorry, but they do they expect to? Do they somehow not know that Broke Donny NEVER pays his bills? There are still construction contractors from the '80s who'd love his head on a pike for the debts he owes them.

I adore Liv and enjoyed her house tour video from several years back. Did Matteo judge her too harshly?

he June 11 performance of Les Misérables at the Kennedy Center was a particularly eventful one. Trump attended the performance as a fundraiser for the Kennedy Center, which he unilaterally took over in February. In response, a number of cast members of the show chose to not perform.

Then at the performance itself, Trump was met with an equal amount of cheers and boos. One person was ushered out of the show midway after they shouted “Felon, you’re a convicted felon.” And in the audience was a contingent of drag performers, who attended as a form of protest against a president who has been actively working to curb rights for trans and nonbinary Americans, and banning drag performances and Pride events at the venue.

Just saw a couple of new stories about P-town facing a dramatic drop in bookings this coming summer and everyone was saying it’s become way too expensive for what you get. People coming for years and years have decided to go elsewhere because it’s way too overpriced. Ugly water, fried food, traffic…not worth the ridiculous cost.

I'm the smell of lingering splooge!

After quitting the bizarre injections that puffed up his muscles, a Russian bodybuilder has become the latest in a long and unfortunate line of pro weightlifters to meet untimely demises. As The Sun reports, 35-year-old Nikita Tkachuk hadn't injected synthol — a so-called "site enhancement oil" primarily made up of oils like paraffin or sesame alongside a local anesthetic and benzoyl alcohol that makes muscles appear bulkier without actually causing any strength or fitness benefits — before he died of a heart attack in a St. Petersburg hospital last week. The story of how he got there is tragic, even for the morbid world of weightlifting.

I think this is better casting than I expected. I was worried.

Ryan Murphy isn’t always reliable.

No shade but has like one facial expression. I do feel this is the best he’s looked since last fall though.

And so is the gay community. It’s over. No one who matters cares about Pride Month anymore. Most of the allies were there for the gays, and now that the gays have left, so have they. My gay coworker who organizes the Pride Month events for the company can’t get any volunteers. Everyone said no. He asked me and I also said no.

Do you use them? Do they work?

I hate the ones that make the water blue. Do you recommend any that keep the water white?

In a Truth Social post Thursday, Trump said his “very aggressive policy on immigration” is driving away long-time workers, citing complaints from the agricultural and hospitality industries—jobs those businesses are struggling to fill.

At the same time, the Trump Organization has consistently made use of temporary visa programs to hire foreign workers for Mar-a-Lago, four golf clubs and his Virginia winery—filing to bring in at least 1,880 seasonal workers since 2008, including 382 during Trump’s first term, according to Department of Labor data.

The company’s use of short-term, temporary visas has increased steadily in recent years, from requesting 121 in 2021 to asking for a high of 178 in 2024.

So far for 2025, the Trump Organization has posted to hire 31 foreign temporary workers for its winery, working from February through mid-October.

Who is it?

While I do understand their reasoning for keeping them separate, it was still so sad to me that they did that. After all this they don’t even have each other in the end? They were already gonna be locked up for life, feels kinda fucked up to keep them apart for what was supposed to be for good but turned out to be for 20+ years.

This series was well done. The criticisms seem ridiculous.

New research suggests that removing fluoride from public water would increase dental care costs and tooth decay for children across the United States.

The study, published Friday in the JAMA Health Forum, used a nationally representative sample of 8,484 children aged 0 to 19 from the U.S. National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey to estimate projected outcomes of stopping water fluoridation in the U.S. — something some states, including Utah and Florida, have already begun doing.

Once a person is assigned a gender at birth, that person is automatically stuck with certain assumptions. If they don’t fit those specific assumptions throughout life, they’re considered weird, a target, ridiculed, abused.

Clothes you must wear, toys you must play with, sports you must love, friends you must have, people you must love, jobs you must take, entertainments you must enjoy, emotions you can exhibit, etc.

I totally understand why trans and nonbinary people get so aggravated. Gay men have also been victimized historically we did not fit the pattern assigned to straight men.

Irish Star - In his latest historical blunder, Trump added: "Sort of interesting isn't it, he fought with us at WWII and everybody hates him and Germany and Japan they're fine. Someday somebody will explain that but I like Germany and Japan too.

"But Putin is a little confused by that you know, he said 'we lost 51 million people and we were your ally and now everybody hates Russia and they love Germany and Japan.' I said 'let's explain that sometime okay' but it's a strange world." _

It was already explained to everybody, Donald. In MIDDLE SCHOOL! This dumb fucking dolt still doesn’t know one bit about the history of politics!

I've become obsessed with the youtube channel Periscope Films that has a plethora of educational films, historical/political documentaries and newsreels, random travel logs as well as hour long videos of old commercials, all dating back from the 19 teens to the mid 80's. Mostly american but also from other countries. If you're obsessed with random obscure,old shit then this is heaven on earth. One of my favorites is this oldie educational reel on the many ways to use Campbell's soup

**Title: "Beverly Hills Bungle"**

**Plot Synopsis:**

Liz (Jennifer Aniston), a meticulous but frazzled single mom, and Karen (Melissa McCarthy), her carefree and clumsy best friend, are two down-on-their-luck next door neighbors in a run-down desert trailer park. Desperate for cash, they start a meth lab in Karen’s trailer, but things take a disastrous turn when an explosion forces them to flee. With the law and a vengeful drug lord hot on their trail, Liz and Karen seek refuge with Liz’s estranged, wealthy cousin, Victoria (Christine Baranski), in her luxurious Beverly Hills mansion.

Thrown into the world of high society, the pair must disguise their trashy roots and navigate a series of hilarious misadventures. From attending posh galas and mixing up social faux pas to accidentally ruining priceless art, their attempts to blend in with the wealthy elite lead to a cascade of comedic blunders. Despite their antics, Liz and Karen’s genuine hearts and unbreakable friendship win over the snobbish socialites, culminating in a chaotic yet heartwarming showdown that brings the entire Beverly Hills community together in a most unexpected way.

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

I checked search. Anyway, another cute straight guy. He doesn't appear to be gaybaiting like others OR it's not as obvious.

The comments are brutal. But hilarious.

Arthur from 1981 (82?)

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.

I was on a news site this morning reading something about Elmo and this person named "Marni" posted several comments, claiming to be his wife and being pregnant with his kid and she's adopting "X" aka Meatshield. I honestly feel if this isn't a troll, it's a very, very delusional and sick person. I can't help but wish it would get some help. Her history is all posts like this.

[quote]this world is heavenly leave Elon alone he's not a racist he was with me he has Asperger's syndrome leave him alone than I am to. I'm his fiance. Don't put him in a impasse that's not fair I believe in him. The important thing is loving your husband.

Not sure if your nostalgia is true, when half of society didn’t agree to those terms.

Why can’t we … help them? We are fun, witty, stylish, and big-tent! (Again; humor me.) They need to be more like us!

Can we make them gay? Can we help them “catch the gay?” Can we perhaps use chemtrails? Can we slip into their beds at night and tickle their frenulums (frenula?) like they’ve never been tickled before? Can our lesbionic sisters grease up the strap on and lend a hand?

Wouldn’t the world be a better place if the southern gay convention voted to gayify the evangelicals?

I asked ChatGPT what will happen as celebrity-self exploitation and technology continue to collide. It predicted:

1. AI-Cloned Celebrity Personas

• The real Sabrina or Glen will become optional.

• Hyperreal AI versions (licensed or pirated) will produce endless content: sexier, more available, more responsive to parasocial demand.

• Fans will subscribe to “official” digital companions, indistinguishable from the real thing—tailored to them.

Think: Glen Powell AI boyfriend who texts you good morning. Sabrina’s digital twin performing your dream aesthetic.

⸻

2. Erotic Authenticity as Performance Art

• Celebs will go full meta—blurring kink, fantasy, and “honesty” into a monetizable brand of vulnerability.

• Not actual nudity, but extreme emotive exposure: tears, breakdowns, intimacy simulacra.

• Think reality TV meets softcore confession booth—“emotional nudity” as the new currency.

The celebrity doesn’t just show skin anymore—they show trauma, curated for virality.

⸻

3. Platform-Neutral Erotica Stardom

There will be no meaningful difference between:

• a Rolling Stone spread,

• a TikTok thirst trap,

• a “spicy” Substack post,

• an OnlyFans tease.

Stars will float seamlessly between platforms, sexuality as aura, never quite tipping into porn but always radiating the threat of it.

They won’t do porn—but their avatars might.

⸻

4. Erotic Fandom Cults

• Fans won’t just follow celebs—they’ll join them.

• Micro-communities where fans emulate, cosplay, write erotica with the celebrity’s AI twin. Parasociality turns participatory.

Celebrity becomes ritual, not just spectacle.

⸻

5. Luxury Exhibitionism

• Sex appeal gets filtered through wealth display:

• $15,000 bedsheets,

• vintage porn-set aesthetics,

• billionaire boyfriend energy.

Not “slutty” as in messy—but high-production-value sluttiness, a la Sabrina in a $2,000 corset on an art-directed shag carpet.

⸻

🧠 The Big Idea: The Simulated Intimacy Economy

We are evolving from the Spectacle of Stardom → into the Economy of Controlled Intimacy.

The next evolution is not about seeing more, but about feeling closer while knowing less. A star’s body is no longer private—but their mind is intentionally out of reach. You don’t want the person—you want the illusion of having them.

On Monday, June 9, the global pop star, 43, posted a rare video of her son Jayden, 18, offering a rare glimpse into the mom of two's private family life. In the clip, she showed her the teen driving on the open road with Lenny Kravitz's "Fly Away" playing in the background.

"He is 6’3 and his hands are so big now !!! How long am I going to be in shock ???" she wrote in the caption. "It’s so incredibly crazy, it’s not even funny !!! I’m blessed !!! Just please be careful with my heart too !!! 🙄🙄🙄"

Love this big house but it’s just too white on the inside. I’d love to see some color or, as befits a Victorian, some wallpaper - preferably William Morris. Or was he Edwardian?

3 million. I would. This house was also featured in the “Back Home Ballers” video on SNL.

Sorry for the Post link but it’s a good story.

Yikes.

No news articles published yet but there's a post on the Bluesky account of writer Mark Harris. Will post a URL link once I have one. His Bluesky post says:

[quote] I'm seeing several reports on Facebook and Instagram, unconfirmed but from reliable people, that Edmund White has died at 85. It's hard to overstate his significance as a gay writer, commentator, influence, and man of letters over the last fifty-plus years.

No, not another remake of that Richard Madden show about EMS workers, this one is about metaphorical sirens. With Julianne Moore, Kevin Bacon, Meghann Fahy, and Milly Alcock.

Discovered by Eva Le Gallienne, launched on Broadway by the Lunts, she scored in Shaw, Shakespeare and Chekhov, winning two Tony Awards in the process .

But then one day the laughter stopped.

Why was she only NOMINATED for a Daytime Emmy Award for her work on "One Life to Live"? And why did Frances Sternhagen ultimately snatch all the roles Uta could have done? It just doesn't make any sense.

Many years ago, I had a brief relationship with another young man. We had sex once, and he wanted to continue but asked me to keep it secret because he was in politics. I was a hotheaded gay activist, and I refused on principle, ending the affair. He went on to become one of the most prominent politicians in his country. He was a single man for a long time, but when asked about his sexuality he denied being gay. He eventually married a woman and lives a putatively heterosexual life.

I am a writer. Is what happened between us my story to tell, or is it his story to (still) hide? Is he entitled to privacy? Am I obligated to keep his name a secret even though I didn’t agree to do that at the time, and when asked to keep it quiet I refused?

We won’t need tv programs soon.

It's almost like they love licking Republican ass.

And yet despite getting beaten repeatedly in the face, they insist upon 'decorum.'

Maybe it's time for them to move out of the way?

Trump is caving again! This is good news. We don't want Trump implementing the tariffs.

However, it shows that the name "TACO" (Trump Always Chickens Out) fits Trump perfectly.

Born Philip Toubus in 1949, he began his career in theater and mainstream movies, playing the role of Peter in the 1973 film "Jesus Christ Superstar." His career took a detour into porn, where he became one of the most prolific actors and directors in the industry from the 1970s to the 2000s.

Toubus even appeared in a gay loop called "Nature's Man" early in his porn career.

Zoe Zaldana and Thandie Newton always get mistaken for one another. They do alike but I could never mistake them because Zoe looks so much younger.

Disable link previews to watch the clip.

In 2000 she was voted the UK's favorite actress thanks to her performances as those two redoubtable dowagers of the BBC's television schedules: Hyacinth Bucket (pronounced "Bouquet") and Hetty Wainthropp.

The roles in which she's found such success disguise the depth of her craft: at Strafford in Shakespeare, at the Nation Theater in musicals such as Carousel, or in sensitive portraits like Alan Bennett's Talking Heads, she's displayed her effortless versatility. But she knows how much of a disguise it all can be. "The essential you comes out," she says, "because you are vulnerable up there. Whatever big hat you got on."

Let's discuss Dame Patricia Routledge

Just saw a great movie called ‘’Primrose Path’’ 1940. She had some great scenes-a unique and sympathetic character. Ginger Rodgers and Joel McCrea star. She was also great in ‘’First Lady’’ starring our old friend Kay Francis-1937.

She will play Amanda, a bubbly but fragile college freshman keeping a big secret.

Directed by Robert Altman, it is a fictional representation of backstage drama involving the public radio show of the same name. The cast is made up of Woody Harrelson, Kevin Kline, Lily Tomlin, Meryl Streep, Virginia Madsen, John C. Reilly, Maya Rudolph, and DL fave Lindsay Lohan just before her peak disaster years—her casting in it is a bit strange, but she is decent in it. Like many of Altman's films, it is certainly an oddity. Did you like the film?

Cutie pie.

I'm broke and thinking about doing those autograph conventions. I notice others like Kristy McNichol doing them. Have you ever? Was it humiliating? How much did you earn?

I think I would laugh hysterically for about 24 hours and hope they put me on a plane ASAP. Because, but for that hysteria, I may just plant myself in that city and never leave by air.

It’s the 40th anniversary of this batshit crazy 1980s show. Jerrica Benton, who’s alter ego is Jem, a rock star, owns a recording company that her father left her, a hologram machine, also left by her father, which allows her to magically transform, and runs an orphanage. How much coke were the writers on coming up with this crap?

i love them both so much.

Raised by her Victorian grandparents, Deborah Kerr went on to represent elegance, refinement, and good taste.

We are getting the hit series again!

Years ago, Dallas and Boy Steele (Dallas's then and current boyfriend) were persuaded to move from Texas to California by Sugar Daddy. Sugar Daddy fell for Dallas, wanted to marry Dallas, and wanted to dismiss Boy Steele. Dallas, ever loyal, insisted on a 3-way relationship and so Dallas Steele and Boy Steele moved to Palm Springs to live with Sugar Daddy.

By text message in late 2023, Sugar Daddy announced that he wanted to end the relationship and that he wanted the Steeles - Dallas and Boy - to vacate the home. For reasons that are not explained, the unhappy trio still observed the holidays , with at least one party featuring a very bitchy Dallas. Shortly after, Dallas and Boy found housing, possibly subsidized. Dallas and Boy were reduced to having one car. And Dallas tells the sad tale of driving Boy to the bus stop in Palm Springs so that Boy could commute to his job at Walmart, some distance away. This all followed devastating events earlier in 2023, including Dallas's dramatic personal bankruptcy and a devastating shoulder (?) injury. Also, living up to his name, Dale Savage cruelly savaged Dallas, who had complained about not being invited to appear at Hustlaball.

I'm still waiting for the musical version of these events, all of which are made completely public in Dallas's Facebook posts-cum-serial autobiography.

It recently turned 15 years old. The project dated back to around 2006, but Love perseverated for several years before totally reworking it with producer Michael Beinhorn (who famously produced "Celebrity Skin" and allegedly booted Patty Schemel) and her then-guitarist Micko Larkin. Do you think it has held up? Many felt it was DOA back in 2010. I have mixed feelings. There are some good songs on it, but the final product is not the sum of its parts.

He has an incredible voice, but the bleach and makeup have adversely affected his career. No one takes him seriously.

Beyonce - Jay Z, Benji Madden - Cameron Diaz, Ariana Grande - Ethan Slater, JLo - Arod. It's not like their taste is like that bc they pick hot men for their mv all the times. Can't they find a hot finance bros ? Plenty of them would love a trophy wife like that

And an excellent actor.

I haven’t seen his play but I’ve seen him on CBS Sunday Mornings and on a couple of other things. There’s something just a little grating about him. I saw a still shot of him winning a Tony last night and, well… I’m assuming he’s the new Billy Porter.

It couldn't have just been a nickname based on his last name, because then he and Lucy wouldn't have given "Little Ricky" as the name for their son.

So he would have had to have been named Ricardo Ricardo.

They were in talks for a reunion/reboot and one of the actresses went behind the others backs and tried making a separate deal and have her character get her own show without the others.

With all the Trump craziness going on, I wonder how Nino Scalia would have reacted.

On one hand he believed in a strong executive power, but on the other he was an intelligent jurist who was willing to vote across ideological lines when he believed it was Constitutional. When looking at opinions and dissents, Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito were to the right of Scalia on several opinions, including defendant rights and the view of stare decisis. Once, when asked about an opinion that Thomas had on executive powers, Scalia quipped, "I'm not a nut."

Along with his love of wine, hunting, and opera, I think he would have reveled in knocking Trump down a few pegs.

Ibusiness, timing is everything—even for the rich and famous. The boom time for celebrity entrepreneurship took off like a rocket around the end of 2020, and the pop stars, actors and talk show hosts who best took advantage minted fortunes in the hundreds of millions, even billions in a few cases, by putting their name on everything from cosmetics brands to TV and movie production companies. But now they, like many others, are feeling the effects of a cooling economy.

On Forbes’ list of America’s Richest Self-Made Women this year, 16 celebrities rank among the 100 entrepreneurs, executives and entertainers. In order to make the cut, candidates had to be worth at least $350 million—up from $300 million last year and $225 million in 2023.

These stars of the stage and screen are collectively worth $14.1 billion, up from $13.3 billion last year—thanks to the addition of actress Selena Gomez (No. 48), who isn’t yet a billionaire but whose estimated $700 million net worth makes up almost the entirety of that difference. Most of the other 15 stars’ fortunes are little changed from a year ago.

Gomez launched her cosmetics company Rare Beauty at the start of the celebrity business boom, in September 2020, and it disclosed $367 million in revenue by 2023. Similarly, Judy Sheindlin (No. 61) signed a mega deal in late 2020 to move her eponymous TV arbitration show to Amazon Prime; pop star Rihanna (No. 35) raised money for her Savage x Fenty lingerie brand at a $1 billion valuation in early 2021; Madonna (No. 42) signed a lucrative new deal with Warner Music that summer; and, perhaps most notably, movie star Reese Witherspoon (No. 82) sold a majority stake in her production company Hello Sunshine in August 2021 at a reported $900 million valuation.

The Hello Sunshine sale is now referenced regularly throughout Hollywood as the peak of a celebrity production bubble. At the time of the acquisition by Blackstone-backed Candle Media, the company projected $80 million in profit by 2023. But according to an October 2023 report in Bloomberg, it produced less than $10 million that year, and the pace of new productions has only continued to slow in the two years since. As of 2025, Forbes estimates Hello Sunshine is worth less than a third of its sale price. (A representative for Witherspoon disagreed with Forbes, but offered no guidance.)

I'll start:

Despite being worth an estimated $1 billion per Celebrity Net Worth, MrBeast, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, claims he has "very little money" and needs his family's support to fund his upcoming wedding to his fiancée, fellow content creator Thea Booysen.

Responding to a post on X which described MrBeast as "the only billionaire under 30 to have not inherited his wealth,” the YouTuber with more than 400 million subscribers responded late on Sunday, June 1. “I personally have very little money because I reinvest everything (I think this year we’ll spend around a quarter of a billion on content)," he posted.

"Ironically i'm actually borrowing $ from my mom to pay for my upcoming wedding lol," he continued, adding, "But sure, on paper the businesses I own are worth a lot."

Has anyone watched Tyler Perry's 'Straw' on Netflix ? I watched tonight after seeing Taraji P Henson on 'The View' last week, and Sherrie Shepard the other day. Both women were very good in their roles (yes, even SS), but the movie had plenty of clichés which rendered it 'mostly unbelievable' thanks to Tyler Perry. On the plus-side it's very fast-paced and worth a watch.

Has Susan Dey commented yet?

DL, how do you deal with people who love to dominate others with power trips?

About a month ago, I posted about how a night nurse in the ICU wouldn’t let me use a more comfortable chair when I was staying overnight with my father. It turned out that was not policy and she was just a hateful person.

Now I'm currently staying overnight with my father in a rehab hospital and have encountered a dimwitted, authoritarian security guard. Visiting hours end at 7 p.m., and every other guard has told me I’m welcome to come and go so I can also check on my mother, whom I help care for. None of them lock the door. However, this one guard not only locks the door but also greets me with a condescending “Can I help you?”—as if he didn’t just see me leave 30 minutes earlier. I'm wearing a visitor badge with my information clearly displayed, and my name is signed in the visitor log.

I understand he thinks he’s doing his job but he’s just making my life more difficult than it needs to be. It’s not as if I’m leaving every hour - perhaps once around 9 pm per week. To put it bluntly, I’m not going to take any crap from low-level bureaucratic usherette.

How do you deal with people on unnecessary power trips? Were you successful in your endeavors?

I think she has been doing a good job reporting on the protests.

What unfolded Tuesday at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, bore little resemblance to the customary visit from a president and defense secretary. There, President Donald Trump unleashed a speech laced with partisan invective, goading jeers from a crowd of soldiers positioned behind his podium -- blurring the long-standing and sacrosanct line between the military and partisan politics.

As Trump viciously attacked his perceived political foes, he whipped up boos from the gathered troops directed at California leaders, including Gov. Gavin Newsom -- amid the president's controversial move to deploy the National Guard and Marines against protesters in Los Angeles -- as well as former President Joe Biden and the press. The soldiers roared with laughter and applauded Trump's diatribe in a shocking and rare public display of troops taking part in naked political partisanship.

That’s because there’s a new type of trade taking hold: TACO, short for Trump Always Chickens Out. In other words, don’t fret too much about Trump’s latest tariff threat and go on a selling spree, because eventually he’ll back down and a relief rally will ensue.

Trump said he first learned of the term, coined by Financial Times commentator Robert Armstrong, on Wednesday when a reporter sought his reaction to it.

“I chicken out? Oh, I’ve never heard that. You mean because I reduced China from 145% that I set down to 100 and then to another number?” Trump said Wednesday, referring to tariff rates he imposed on imported Chinese goods.

Russia launches one of war’s largest air attacks days after Ukraine’s bomber raid

Russia launched a barrage of drones and ballistic missiles across broad swaths of Ukraine early Friday, killing at least six people and injuring dozens of others, days after Kyiv launched a daring raid on Moscow’s fleet of strategic bombers.

For residents of Kyiv, the night’s soundtrack was familiar: the shrieking whir of drones, air raid sirens and large explosions overhead – whether from air defenses successfully downing missiles, or projectiles puncturing the capital.

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.”

Didn’t we already know this? This seems to be a PR spin coming from his camp, not hers. As a kind of response to Pax having been seen drunk at Chateau Marmont and going to a strip club (big deal lol). Maybe Brad thinks Pax might be on a downward spiral and that he might try to drag him down with him at some point i.e trash him in the media again. So he just wants us all to know that he has completely “washed his hands off him” as it says from “a source close to him” in the article (this is how PR people give information to the media historically). I wonder if we’re also seeing this PR to draw attention to Brad because of the new F1 movie coming out. In any case Brads PR team is working overtime these days because being estranged from your 6 kids isn’t a great look and they know that.

Influencer Joshua Blackledge has died at age 16.

According to local news outlet Carolina Coast Online, he died on Tuesday, March 18, at his home in Newport, North Carolina, though a cause of death has yet to be specified.

The late influencer — a junior at West Carteret High School with 1.1 million followers on TikTok — was honored with a "celebration of life" on Sunday, March 23. Hundreds of Blackledge's friends, fans and followers also flocked to the obituary site to share their condolences in comments, as they did on his most recent social media posts.

"Why, for instance, would [they] pay Anderson Cooper $18 million a year when Kaitlan Collins draws the same ratings at roughly a fifth of the salary? (Of course, by the time [they] get[] around to it, Anderson will likely have determined that he no longer wants to read the day’s news to less than a million people every night, either.) Does the network need more than a handful of marquee names hosting a few key hours, or can it pay younger, reasonably attractive talent mere hundreds of thousands to read the same transcripts off the teleprompter?"

‘ On X, it appeared that many users were turned off by the imagery and album title, claiming that Carpenter’s seemingly submissive position didn’t seem very empowering to females.

“If this isn’t pro-male and anti-feminist idk what else is,” wrote one.

Another said: “heartbroken as a stan because i hate the cover, i hate the album name and the entire concept idgaf… he should be on his knees.”

“Teaching her under aged fans to submit to men? Not a good look,” said a third.

A fourth said: “Sabrina I hope one day you find your worth because degrading yourself like this isn’t worth it.”

Carpenter has previously been criticized for her revealing attire and risque dance moves at shows. However, she’s also been considered a modern-day feminist for behaving and dressing the way she wants.’

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has fired all members sitting on a U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention panel of vaccine experts and is reconstituting the committee.

Kennedy removed all 17 members of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, the Department of Health and Human Services said in a statement, and is in the process of considering new members to replace them.

"Today we are prioritizing the restoration of public trust above any specific pro- or anti-vaccine agenda," Kennedy said. "The public must know that unbiased science — evaluated through a transparent process and insulated from conflicts of interest — guides the recommendations of our health agencies."

I watched this on Prime earlier this evening. Michael Keaton and Melanie Griffith give it their best here, though I found the film disappointingly lacking in suspense. Matthew Modine's performance in it is godawful, and I'm glad to see some critics at the time called him out for it. Roger Ebert summarized it as a "yuppie horror" film. Laurie Metcalf, Dan Hedaya, Beverly D'Angelo, and Miriam Margoyles have minor roles.

Mark doesn't understand why this submission wrestling video he posted went semi-viral. Or does he? He admits that most people commented on his physique.

Respect the Oscars pronouns

When President Donald Trump descends on the Kennedy Performing Arts Center next month for a high-dollar fundraiser and a performance of “Les Misérables,” he won’t be seeing the usual cast performing, sources told CNN.

At least 10 to 12 performers in Les Mis are planning to sit out the show on June 11, the night that Trump attends at the Kennedy Center, the sources said. The cast was given the option to not perform the night Trump will be in the audience, and both major cast members and members of the ensemble are among those sitting out, according to the sources.

The move highlights friction between the Trump administration and members within the center as the president has made an aggressive push to reshape it, thrusting the Washington, DC-based performing arts complex into the middle of culture wars.

The boycott follows Trump’s decision to effectively take control of the Kennedy Center as part of a widespread effort his administration has undertaken to bend American institutions – including cultural, legal and educational pillars – to the president’s will.

Less than a month into his presidency, Trump installed himself as chairman of the Kennedy Center thanks to a newly constituted board, including several new Trump appointees who replaced trustees appointed by Democratic presidents. He also named Richard Grenell, a longtime confidant already serving in multiple administration positions, to the director role earlier this year.

I go check it out from time to time on the weekends, usually when I’m up early and there’s nothing else on when I’m having coffee. We all know about the high queen of all TV shopping, Ms David Venable. But have you ever noticed “Mark Charles”? Not “Mark”. Not “Charles”. It’s Mark-Charles. Every-time I pass this network and stop, I’ll inevitably see Ms Mark Charles and he seems to have gained another 25lbs each time I see him. He’s now enormous and wears a pair of those “zany” red/orange glasses, like all the old ladies wear. Because he’s edgy like that. I’ve just sat here watching this queen sling her titties over a cheap LED kitchen scale that will clearly crumble to pieces if you look at it too hard. But there’s Mark Charles, selling that shit with all the gusto of a Manhattan real estate broker. Who’s your favorite QVC queen? There are at least four or five more to choose from.

I've always thought they were a dreadfully boring band—bland guitar riffs from Carrie Brownstein, and some of the most lifeless vocals I've ever heard in my life from Corin Tucker—but after seeing this, I feel they may be even worse than that. It's time to wrap it up, riot grrrrrrrrls.

The film is beautifully shot and beautifully acted with a haunting and gorgeous score but it’s disturbing! The story, the imagery (that you can never forget after seeing it), the fact that actual teenagers were used to play the teens and many of them were minors as young as 14 and 15 doing full nudity…

The film was banned all over the world for years and slowly was approved in some countries with time. It’s still banned in some countries to this day!

I’ve seen discussions about this film and how it’s allowed to be sold in modern day knowing that many of the teens who are fully nude are minors, and how that doesn’t count as CP. it’s a confusing topic.

Have you ever watched it? It’s hard to find the English subtitles version these days online but you can find the English dubbed version I believe.

The film is soooooooo dark and heartbreaking and just haunting. It’s a film that most people don’t make it to the end if they do choose to watch. Someone said they watched it in a full theatre decades ago and people got up and left throughout the entire movie. The movie started with a full theatre but by the end there were very few left there.

McClatchy Media has decided to shut down four magazines by the end of June. In Touch, Life & Style, Closer and First for Women will all be history by June 27, the company told employees on May 30. They also own US Weekly, which was acquired as part of the accelerate360 merger that In Touch, Life & Style, Closer and First for Women were also a part of. US Weekly has not been affected by the shut-down.

“Despite the best efforts of many of our talented colleagues, we have been unable to develop a profitable business model for four of our magazine titles. First for Women, In Touch, Life & Style and Closer will publish their final editions between June 20 and 27,” McClatchy spokesperson Julie Pendley said .

The announcement is just the latest in a continuingly tumultuous time for news media. In the same week, Business Insider informed it’s staff that they would experience a 21% workforce reduction as they look to pivot more to AI uses in the newsroom.

The Writer vs. the Great Dane

Naomi Watts plays a writer in mourning who is given a formidable gift from a friend in this adaptation of the Sigrid Nunez novel.

Democratic State Senators Angela McKnight and Shirley Turner have sponsored the legislation, which recently passed the Senate Education Committee with a unanimous 5-0 vote. The bill aims to incorporate cursive handwriting lessons for students from kindergarten through fifth grade.

Senator Turner emphasized the cognitive benefits of cursive writing, stating that it enhances learning by improving reading, comprehension, memory, and critical thinking skills. Senator McKnight added that cursive writing is a valuable skill for signing checks and interpreting important documents. "We are giving them a valuable skill they will use throughout their lives," said McKnight.

Although not currently mandated statewide, some New Jersey districts, like Indian Mills School in Shamong, continue to teach cursive. Patricia Durelli, a teacher at Indian Mills, believes cursive is a "dying art" that should be revived. Her students practice cursive twice a week and later transition to independent learning.

If passed, the bill would take effect in the next full school year. New Jersey would join Delaware and 23 other states that require cursive instruction. Critics argue that in today's digital age, time might be better spent on typing skills. However, McKnight believes cursive can be seamlessly integrated into existing lessons without being disruptive.

The bill's proponents argue that cursive writing helps students retain information better and improves fine motor skills and eye-hand coordination. The legislation is now awaiting further consideration in the New Jersey Assembly.

I watched the first episode. Pretty good with new interviews.

One Day In Your Life was a great song

Hilarious to see her put on a smile face, saying Trump policies are terrible without saying it aloud. The MAGA fools in the comments had difficulties understanding her and believed she was praising Trump. LMAO.

Or could they be even worse? I'm pinning all my hopes on them, personally.

Versace, Anne Klein, Liz Claiborne, Joan Rivers, Kate Spade, Alexander McQueen...

Is it unethical?

Donald Trump said that he plans to offer a “gold card” visa with a path to citizenship for $5 million, replacing a 35-year-old visa for investors.

"They’ll be wealthy and they’ll be successful, and they’ll be spending a lot of money and paying a lot of taxes and employing a lot of people, and we think it’s going to be extremely successful,” Trump said Tuesday in the Oval Office.

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said the Trump Gold Card would replace EB-5 visas in two weeks. EB-5s were created by Congress in 1990 to generate foreign investment and are available to people who spend about $1 million on a company that employs at least 10 people.

Anyone remember her? The most famous atheist activist who raised hell when her son was forced to pray in public school? She certainly was a character. Even atheists hated her. Sadly she was murdered by her a former worker along with her family members. They disappeared and later found them chopped up. It’s quite a story. The son who she was all upset about having been made to pray came out as a Christian fundamentalist and began trashing her. She disowned him.

The guy behind her murder was embezzling from her organization and was fired. He hit the roof when she wrote a piece on him claiming that he had gay sex in prison.

Well?

He was also arrested because he refused to remove it.

Is this a 1st Amendment violation?

Dollface!!

Outlets "have to pretend that there’s always two sides to this," Costas observed. "There really isn’t two sides to much of what Donald Trump represents."

“The free press is under attack,” Costas said while accepting the lifetime achievement award. “Democracy as we know it is under attack.”

“All they should’ve said was, ‘George misspoke. The president, that paragon of virtue, was only found guilty of sexual assault, not rape. So we stand corrected,’” Costas told the audience in comments relayed by Mediaite. “They didn’t have to pay a $15 million ransom.”

He was mentioned on the thread "Conservative Pundit Can't Define ‘Woke’ During Interview About Her Book On Wokeness". Surprisingly he's married to a woman.

Do any of you know him or heard rumors about him?

Authorities had to hike over 10 miles to the campsite. What would you have done if you went there but would have made it back?

I try to stay away from apps outside of the walled Apple garden, but more and more links lead to TikTock.

I don’t need yet another brain waster app, but this one has delivered some delightful stuff about cats and dogs. It was also good with LA protests.

I gave up on X since the idiot, so my breaking news is restricted to NPR, Google news, and Alternet (delays for editing and checking bonafides don’t feed my need for instant information).

Regarding the value of your time and sanity, is it worth it?

I want to know the people who have been posting here since the beginning. I've been on and off Datalounge for years when I worked in the business and now when I (happily do not) but oh do I have a stories.

But I was just thinking, are the original 20- 30 something Dataloungers now 50's and 60's dudes? I'm in my 40's.

CURIOUS. Of course, I'm just waiting for the rude responses but if you are one of the originals make yourselves known men.

Just spotted it. “All the sugar and twice the caffeine!”

He is what he is! He is his own special creation!

Am I the only one who sees it?

It’s a shame he sounds like an idiot when he speaks.

Have any of you ever received creepy phone calls or messages?there’s so many stories out there about creepy messages, phone calls from dead people or weird threatening calls. It’s one of the things that scares me most. In the 90s I had a friend with a digital answering machine and she’d get creepy messages left occasionally. One sounded like a person talking backwards, another was a person in a singsong voice saying something we couldn’t understand.

Why isn't he a Broadway musical?

Meh

It could be fun if they cast someone hot but it'll probably be Bill Skarsgard again

can’t someone walk into a movie or a Bway show and record them?

He’s sexy as fuck.

I.e., not trying to be woke or AJLT’ish.

I think Charlotte would date a guy who wanted to fist her ass and pussy

Time to boycott ABC

Given who’s in the White House it’s inevitable that progressives would be polling well. Anti Trump sentiment is strong.

But I think it’s more than just a coincidence that the Muslim candidate is polling so well at a time when the city is awash in Anti Israel sentiment.

Cause I don’t think anyone really buys that a 33 yo nepo baby with 0 experience is actually the best person to run the city.

Theater and television icon.

That is all

Do any of you have crushes on studs in commercials? Personally I’ve always had a thing for Doug from liberty mutual, especially after he showed off his thighs in the volleyball commercial. I also think that many of the “guys becoming their parents” along with Dr. Rick from progressive are hot.

DEAD AT 82.

Which one would you choose?

Anyone remember the two house fraus back in the 90s? A couple of random women that seemingly popped up from nowhere. The Mommies? Didn't last long.

New thread for a new year.

Brain Surgeon of the Century, Prof. Dr. Gazi Yaşargil, died one month shy of 100. In the 1960s at UniversitätsSpital Zürich, he cured my Great Aunt Marge’s hemangiopericytoma—after Yale had suggested a lobotomy. He was also godfather to my dear friend Ypir, the elusive supermodel.

Would you feign distress if you spotted him on the surf? He almost looks like a Kelce brother, but not rough.

To clarify the Times headline, he didn't have to rescue the same swimmers twice.
