In Texas, Florida, and more than a dozen other states, users who try to access the world’s largest pornography website are greeted by a surprising sight: a message on a black screen telling them they’re blocked because of the actions of their state legislature.

Over the last two and a half years, 19 states – home to more than a third of Americans – have passed laws that require pornography websites to confirm a user’s age by checking a government-issued ID or scanning their face, among other methods.

The new laws, which have been pushed by allies of President-elect Donald Trump, have led some of the largest adult sites, including Pornhub, to block users from specific states, rather than paying millions for ID-checking services.

Next week, the Supreme Court will hear a challenge to the constitutionality of the new laws, setting up a battle over free speech, censorship and how to protect kids online. The case could end up eroding landmark precedents protecting pornography, following previous decisions from the court that have overturned decades-old case law.

To supporters, the restrictions in the age verification laws are common-sense measures to prevent children from seeing explicit content. But critics say the push to restrict porn undermines free speech protections and infringes on privacy rights. It could also put some porn companies out of business because of the high costs of verifying the age of every visitor, while doing little to stop foreign or fringe porn websites that don’t comply with US laws.

“Porn is the canary in the coalmine of free speech,” said Mike Stabile, a spokesperson for the Free Speech Coalition, a trade association for the adult entertainment industry that is among the plaintiffs of the lawsuit against Texas. “These bills are meant to put the adult industry out of practice.”

Passion of the Christ 2... will it be re-imagined for a contemporary audience? Will it star Billy Porter as Jesus? Is Mel Gibson that desperate for money that he has to film a sequel? Will Zendaya be in it, as she is in every film these days? Would Sondheim have approved?

He's still hot after all these years.

This thread's dedicated to the new cast of Comedy About Love, who start Tuesday: Lin-Manuel Miranda, Andrew Rannells, Nick Kroll, and Aidy Bryant.

Predictions?

This is a pretty great cast of reality stars. Surely I"m not the only person watching? Bob the Drag Queen is surprisingly inept at being a traitor. Alan Cumming is still wearing stupid costumes that contestants have to pretend to be impressed by. Robyn Dixon is surprising me, she is much more likeable here than on RHOP.

I thought Lily Collins was going to play Audrey?

Don’t go to that other thread, that OP has an “agenda”, likely works for Lin Wood or some such shit.

Keep it going here, we stick to “just the facts, m’ame” detective work, and we bring receipts, because our lives *are* that lame. Escapism is better than news, don’t you dare judge us, bitches.

Carry the fuck on. First thread linked below.

Get your popcorn. This could be good. Bannon worried that Musk is taking his job as chief advisor and fights back.

[quote]Days after fawning over what tech magnate Elon Musk’s deep pockets could do for the MAGA movement, Steve Bannon went berserk on the world’s richest man and vowed to limit his White House influence.

[quote]“I will have Elon Musk run out of here by Inauguration Day,” Bannon, told the Italian daily Corriere della Sera last week, per excerpts translated by his former employer Breitbart. “He will not have a blue pass to the White House, he will not have full access to the White House, he will be like any other person.” He is a truly evil guy, a very bad guy. I made it my personal thing to take this guy down,” he went on. “Before, because he put money in, I was prepared to tolerate it. I’m not prepared to tolerate it anymore.”

Is JLo banging Kevin Costner?

I’ve been debating whether to sign up for DoorDash to chip away at my credit card debt. Well, I did it, and they approved me on the spot, so I decided to give it a whirl.

And honestly? I had a blast. Made $50 total, which comes out to around $16/hour. Not bad. Spent the evening listening to Sheena Easton, dropping off mostly McDonalds and Taco Bell orders. The fast food slop people eat is fascinating. Only one stiffed me on the tip, and when I had enough, I just logged off. Amazing.

Once I tackle my debt, I might keep going so I can save up for get a facelift.

XOXO 💋

Roxane Gay used to be a bestselling feminist author, and a huge favorite at the NYTimes (and consequently also on DL). She frequently wrote op-ed pieces (I think even briefly she may have been a regular op-ed columinst?), and she also used to handle their advice column about the workplace (which was pretty hilarious, since her MO is always to take no prisoners and advice columnists always have to caution people to compromise and work within the system). They even devoted a profile to her and how she was working with a "nutitionist" who actually told her to indulge her sweet tooth for cakes with buttercream frosting,

But she rarely appears anymore in the Times. What happened?

This hairy cagemeat with a law enforcement background and piercing green eyes has Momma's mussy OOZING like a CADBURY EGG!

Continuing the discussion and the updates..

Link to pt 2 below,

This "American gothic" film by Philip Ridley follows a young boy growing up in mid-century Idaho. His dysfunctional family life is troublesome, and through a series of childhood fantasies and misinterpretations, he comes to believe a nearby English widow (Lindsay Duncan) is a vampire killing off residents of their farming community. It is a beautiful, poetic, and dark film that has never really gotten its flowers. It was shot in Alberta, and has a very similar look to Terrence Malick's "Days of Heaven". Viggo Mortensen has a lead role as the young boy's adult brother. It was an early acquisition of Miramax and barely got released in the United States.

I'm making my way through the Cold Relief Shelf at CVS, but tnopthins is that effective. So far Advil cold and flu pills are ok, but not great

JD, come get your boy!

There are times when I think that eviction is the correct solution for the people in my household who insist on keeping the house temperature down to 62 in the summer and up to 75 in the winter. I prefer to acclimate to the weather and think that thermostat settings of 78 should be fine for the summer and 58 for the winter. Otherwise I'm suffocating in the winter and freezing in the summer.

Have any of you been able to strike a reasonable compromise in your household? If so, how?

The earliest episodes are finally streaming for the first time ever. You can watch seasons 1-20 on Hulu starting today.

And like Persephone, we descend into Hades as winter approaches.

Their sister, Tiffany, died by suicide. 6 kids in the Sedaris family. They admit that their mother had no love for Tiffany (but had love for the other 5 children). David said he "bathed" in his mother's love. David and Amy go on and on about their love for their mother. David said his goal in writing was to make everybody love his mother.

If my mother shunned one of my siblings, I would have a real problem with that.

D&A say that they feel no guilt for Tiffany's suicide. They went ahead and read her diaries. WTF?

I also remember David buying a beach house in North Carolina, for the family (incl. Dad) to gather. David said that the master bedroom was for himself. WTF? I would let my parent have the master bedroom, even if I bought the damn house.

I keep hearing about rich celebrities losing their homes. who gives a fuck about rich celebrities

SCRUFF: For meeting guys for friends / dating. I’ve made some good lasting friendships on Scruff and I met my partner three years ago on this app.

SNIFFIES: Best hook up web site. No nonsense and guys are much more honest that they want sex. I had a hook up with this guy last night saw me at the gym earlier. The sex party event listings are major plus.

GRINDR: An expensive, robot riddled dinosaur that is only good for tormenting trannies, which make up the majority of this apps users.

What is going on with the leadership in Los Angeles?

This video was recommended to me on YouTube, and as I watched it, it made me very uncomfortable.

Partly with the way that reporters seemed to be trying to play gotcha with the Fire Chief.

Also with the way the other reporters were baiting the Mayor at the press conference.

Ignoring the background noise from the man narrating the video (he's just another complaining MAGAT) and the "gotcha media," it does seem like the leadership in Los Angeles is very discombobulated.

These people are saying they are in charge, but I'm not really seeing any leadership.

And the only thing the MAGAT got right, is why wasn't there any water available to put out the fires???

At the very least, the city of Los Angeles should have a back up plan for out-of-control wildfires, especially when it comes to making water available to put out fires.

The longtime dalliance had allegedly driven Pickles insane. Tabloids once ran weekly stories about the rumor. Where there’s smoke, … Why is pickles not out with a tell all book yet?

A few weeks ago, Greenland was quietly getting on with winter, as the territory slid deeper into the darkness that envelops the world’s northerly reaches at this time of year.

An inhospitable icecap several miles deep covers 80% of Greenland, forcing the Inuit to dwell along the shorelines in brightly painted communities. Here, they spend brutally cold winters hunting seals on ice under the northern lights in near perpetual darkness. Although these days, they can also rely on community stores.

The problem for travelers over the years has been getting to Greenland via time-consuming indirect flights. That’s changing. Late in 2024, the capital Nuuk opened a long-delayed international airport. From June 2025, United Airlines will be operating a twice-weekly direct service from Newark to Nuuk.

I have a sudden craving for a rock cake.

Rock cakes are basically a roughly formed, less cakey scone containing currants and sprinkled with granulated sugar on top.

It’s very Agatha Christie. Sometimes they were sold at my school tuck shop during recess.

"Brooke Shields blasted her plastic surgeon for throwing in a “little bonus” during her labia surgery."

I read so many threads here about Gen Z entitlement, strange and unrealistic expectations in work settings, not pulling their weight, inability to read the room, and general clulessness. I always wonder if it's a matter of selective attention and overestimating it (we're elderly curmudgeons, after all). Then I read stories like this. She doesn't seem to be appalled or embarrassed that she almost created a catastrophe.

[QUOTE]Delaney Neal mentioned that she had to dry her clothes for three cycles before they were completely done.

[QUOTE]Kailey's husband, Rane, turned to Delaney and asked, “Have you cleaned out your lint trap in a while?” In response, Delaney, 22, said, “What are you talking about?”

[QUOTE] “The amount shown in the video isn’t even half of what came out of the back of it.” "We are in a family of four sisters, we are pretty ditzy, and stuff like this happens all the time," she adds. "Thankfully we have praying parents."

With the exception of my neighbor's son who just turned 21 and graduated college in 2 1/2 years, I don't have much interaction with Gen Z. And he's ot representative.

Anyone?

Will Lindsey Graham finally admit his truth?

I think the overarching theme of both seasons (and probably the upcoming third) is how primal people be - even sophisticated rich liberal/progressives. I also like that the show is cynical, but never deteriorates into nihilism. Plus, it knows how to be un-PC without pulling any try-hard South Park bullshit.

What is your take on this show?

First thread is maxed out, continue bitching about the cul de sac and its residents here.

Continue the discussion....

Due to the fires.

Meta is ending its key diversity, equity and inclusion programs, joining other corporate giants like Ford, McDonald's and Walmart that have pulled the plug on their DEI initiatives.

Meta's move comes three days after the technology company said it would stop third-party fact-checking of content on Facebook, Instagram and other social media platforms. Axios was the first to report that Meta is terminating DEI programs geared to hiring, training and choosing suppliers, citing an internal employee memo.

A Meta spokesperson confirmed to CBS News that it was eliminating its DEI efforts.

In explaining the policy shift, Janelle Gale, vice president of human resources at Meta, said the "legal and policy landscape surrounding diversity, equity and inclusion efforts in the United States is changing,"

The retreat from DEI policies by Meta and others follows a 2023 Supreme Court decision banning affirmative action in college admissions, as well as pressure from conservatives political activists. Other large companies to unwind their DEI programs include motorcycle maker Harley-Davidson, hardware chain Lowe's, and farm equipment manufacturers John Deere and actor Supply.

More recently, the shift away from DEI has coincided with President-elect Donald Trump's startling political comeback.

I made a Jell-O dessert last night, with raspberry jello, cranberry, pineapples, walnuts and port wine.

It turned out great, and I was amazed that you can just toss anything into the warm liquid jello and it will solidify in there like a glass case.

Tomorrow I might try lime jello with ground beef, carrots and peas.

This is one of the more flattering pics of her

"ABC News anchor David Muir is being mocked on social media as “pathetic” and “narcissistic” for using clamps to cinch his flame-retardant jacket while broadcasting from the scene of the deadly Los Angeles wildfires."

He's still hot after all these years.

This is from the movie Killer Heat which premieres September 26 on Prime.

She was in her 40s. He even took her to the golf club and Laura couldn’t care less. Anyone else heard of this shit? Bet Condi was no longer available and he found a plan B.

Season 3 a go!

While surrounding countries couldn’t come close?

Ahead of the funeral, CNN reported that the former first lady had a scheduling conflict and remained in Hawaii, where she had been on an “extended vacation.” Asked why she was absent from Carter’s funeral, Michelle Obama’s office issued a statement on Thursday saying that her thoughts and prayers are with the late former president’s family but otherwise did not say where she was or explain her absence.

Kieran Culkin and Jesse Eisenberg both deserve (and will most likely get) Oscar nominations for this terrific little film that was truly a surprise to me. I didn’t expect to like it as much as I did but it was truly wonderful, with phenomenal writing and the performances all incredible. It was thought provoking while also moving and funny at times. Kieran’s charm absolutely radiates off the screen and Jesse is able to play off that as the “straight man”, more serious and holding everything together. An absolute gem that I would recommend to anyone looking for a good film to watch.

I know we've done this many times before. Fuck it -We need it!

I'll start us off:

Two old ladies meet up at the mall. The first one asked her friend, Did you come on the bus?”

Betty was named after Betty White.

Who do you think was behind the shootings?

Underrated? Very much so. Debate.

I can think of about 10,000 people more annoying and less talented than Lauren Bacall.

But any post or thread here that mentions her always draws at least a dozen posters who must have been set on fire by her at some point in their lives.

She was a glamorous actress with a limited range who shined in half a dozen great movies and looked fabulous while doing so.

She was evidently an unpleasant person in real life. That's not great, but neither was Bette Davis or Joan Crawford or (put Golden Age actor/actress here)

Politically she was on the side of the angels (and evidently suffered for it career-wise).

Shit! Been watching Silo but it's officially sucking now.

It's always such a mixed bag of choices...lots of politicians and former politicians and big donors to the respective political parties. And, "stars". This year's list includes such odd choices as Bill Nye the Science Guy and Anna Wintour.

Who haven't they chosen over the years who should have been honored?

Thoughts on everyone’s favorite doctor?

I still love this movie, even 40 years since its release. It's so nuts and nonsensical, but everybody in it is wonderful. Kelly LeBrock (don't hate me because I'm beautiful) had a great flair for comedy, and she's gorgeous and hilarious at the same time. Sexy Bill Paxton, a young and cute Robert Rusler and Robert Downey Jr., and Anthony Michael Hall and Ilan Mitchell-Smith as the nerds who make the girl. A great 1980s time capsule.

He’s 22 and in quite a few shows such as Dead to Me and Goosebumps: The Vanishing. But does he have what it takes to be an actor in Hollywood or is he riding the nepotism coattails?

Guaranteed she'll see these pictures and have some new kind of "emergency surgery" in February on the taxpayer's dime.

Good column in The Guardian that says the pushback must start now.

Liars get cancer

For me, it really boils down to two - Barbara Stanwyck and Lauren Bacall.

Stanwyck had the terrifying brass, Bacall had (briefly) the iceberg beauty.

Both aged well.

I would argue Stanwyck never had the chance Bacall got with Murder on the Orient Express.

[quote] “Consistently giving Dave Chappelle a platform while he spews transphobic rhetoric is shameful,” one X user wrote. “This is the third time you’ve brought him on after he heel turned to this kind of material. Do better.”

With Tim Chalamet hosting and now the great Chappelle set to return, I am definitely staying up to catch SNL as these two heroes perform live.

These two idiots could not be any worse. A blind man could see this as a staged photo opp.

This is one of the more flattering pics of her

Has anyone else noticed this? From approximately 2016 to 2023, it seemed as though the entire world revolved around trans people. The news media wouldn’t stop talking about them, everything was deemed “transphobic,” everyone and their mother was accused of transphobia, and the mainstream media would have a meltdown every time Dave Chappelle had a new special on Netflix. Even the Biden administration got on board with nonbinary passports and protecting “trans kids.“

And then 2024 rolled around and it all seemed to stop. No one is talking about trans people anymore. Pride month this year was almost nonexistent, and the Harris campaign is only mentioning gay people but not trans or nonbinary. I’m not sure if it’s just because the general public got tired of it, or if the Harris campaign is encouraging the news media to lay off the trans stuff so they don’t lose the election.

Grilled cheese sandwiches can be contentious. What seems to be a simple sandwich invites a lot of heated debate. Grilled cheese enthusiasts are divided about which bread you should use, the best type of cheese, and even the right way to cut the sandwich in half. But one particularly polarizing part of a grilled cheese is about what you should spread on the outside: butter or mayonnaise.

Coating your slices of bread in something rich to encourage a golden brown crust is non-negotiable. You may have grown up eating grilled cheeses that were slathered in butter, but swapping it for mayo has become increasingly popular. Celebrities like Joanna Gaines, Antoni Porowski, and Martha Stewart all swear by mayo as the secret to their sandwiches.

The car is firmly entrenched as the default, and often only, mode of transport for the vast majority of Americans, with more than nine in 10 households having at least one vehicle and 87% of people using their cars daily. Last year, a record 290m vehicles were operated on US streets and highways.

However, this extreme car dependence is affecting Americans’ quality of life, with a new study finding there is a tipping point at which more driving leads to deeper unhappiness. It found that while having a car is better than not for overall life satisfaction, having to drive for more than 50% of the time for out-of-home activities is linked to a decrease in life satisfaction.

She at least showed up. She didn't both times she won.

She's going to fall down, go boom if she doesn't watch out.

Just saw this in the theatre. All 3.5 hours of it (with intermission!)

Starts out interestingly enough (with a scene of a whore jerking off Adrian Brody’s erect cock…). There are also so many homoerotic moments throughout.

But then gets ponderous and self-important. The climax just comes across as stupid.

The acting is great. I can totally see this getting nominated for all sorts of awards but audiences will think What the Fuck was the point?

DLers, do any of you consume non-dairy milk? Does this seem to make sense at all in real life?

Without a doubt the best and most realistic "gun scene".. Holy shit- IMdb says that Michael Mann planted microphones everywhere- well, it worked-

I was in high school when this came out, I know I saw it- but luckily I remembered nothing.. It was like watching a new film.

It is a great film and the best of its genre. Even that Amy chick from the 90's was good/likeable. And I hate her.

And damn, DeNiro looked GREAT- I think that he was 51 or so?

Pacino- not as good.

Anyone watching? Is everyone over this show?

I am watching a Sunday today interview with him. He talks like his dick is two feet long. I want him as president.

One of Americas wealthiest widows , who was married to billionaire Jerry Perenchio getting very angry on twitter hurling insults at or about all kinds of celebrities from Bette Midler-or perhaps ex pal now, Barbra Streisand, Billy Baldwin, Kathy Griffin,Implies MichelleOobama is a man and is cocksure that Kamala will lose. None of them seem to be taking the bait but my goodness he really wants Trump to win. She used to be friends with fellow Trumper Alana Stewart but rumour has it they have fallen out and unfollowed each other on social media.

Mexicans responded to the idea that it represented their country with ridicule. One account quipped that Gascón must be “the first winner of a Golden Globe to have blocked half of Mexico.”

Activists have also questioned the film’s trans representation, noting its use of trans identity as an “inherently redemptive” tool for its criminal protagonist.

Glaad, an LGBTQ+ advocacy organisation, described the film as a “profoundly retrograde portrayal of a trans woman” and a “step backward for trans representation”.

Fuck joy.

Sometimes the political parties remind me of that cartoon where a wolf and a sheep go at it all day long. Then a whistle blows, and they effectively clock out of their “work” and head home, pretty amicably.

Macy’s, the largest department store chain by sales in the United States, is set to close 65 “underperforming” locations by March 23, 2025, as part of a broader strategy to shut 150 stores—or about a third of its operations—by 2026. The move will eliminate thousands of jobs and follows an ongoing trend of retail closures driven by the shift to online shopping, and more cautious consumer spending due to inflation, higher interest rates and crushing levels of household debt.

Retailers across the US, including Big Lots, 7-11, Family Dollar and Walgreen’s, announced thousands of store closures in 2024. An October 26 CNN Business article, titled, “Consumers reach their breaking point, forcing retailers to shutter stores at a worrying pace,” noted: “Major retailers have announced 6,189 store closures so far this year, already outpacing last year’s total of 5,553, according to Coresight Research. Chains are on track to close the highest number of stores in 2024 than any year since 2020, when the Covid-19 pandemic decimated the industry.”

As the Jets look to end their four-game losing streak, quarterback Aaron Rodgers made his weekly appearance on "The Pat McAfee Show" on ESPN Tuesday afternoon. The four-time NFL MVP took aim at the network during his segment and criticized how sports media has changed during his career.

"The 'SportsCenter' of my youth, those guys made highlights so much fun and that's what they showed," Rodgers said. "Now it’s all talk shows and people whose opinions are so important now and they believe they’re the celebrities now."

Rodgers frequently appears on "The Pat McAfee Show" on Tuesdays and this week was no different. During the segment, his former Green Bay Packers teammate-turned-analyst A.J. Hawk asked how the NFL has changed during Rodgers' 20-year career.

Rodgers argued the biggest change is about how the sport is covered by the media.

“There’s a lot of people talking about the game now, both non-former players and former players who are trying to stay relevant fame-wise," Rodgers said. "So the takes and the criticism I think are a lot different than they were maybe in the mid-2000s."

Rodgers clarified he wasn't talking about the show's host, Pat McAfee, who spent eight years in the NFL as a punter before launching his show. McAfee made the Pro Bowl in 2014 and 2016 and was a first-team All-Pro in 2014.

“I’m talking about these experts on TV who nobody remembers what they did in their career,” Rodgers said. “So in order for them to stay relevant, they have to make comments that keep them in the conversation. That wasn’t going on in 2008, 2009, that was nonexistent.

"Now it’s all talk shows and people whose opinions are so important now and they believe they’re the celebrities now. They’re the stars for just being able to talk about sports or give a take about sports, many of which are unfounded or asinine, as we all know."

He acknowledged that those shows, gambling and fantasy football have driven interest in the sport and that's led to higher salaries for players. He also argued the league has "better athletes with a less violent game" but with a lower overall football IQ due to less practice time during the offseason.

McAfee didn't press Rodgers to name any specific people on talk shows who warrant his criticism. Instead, he continued on about Rodgers' point about lower football IQ, citing longtime NFL quarterback Tom Brady's argument that coaches "dumb the game down" for rookie quarterbacks to play as soon as possible.

Rodgers' criticism of sports media was a segment for the next few days on "First Take," culminating in Clark's response Friday morning.

“I find it extremely funny that he’s saying this on a show with a man, who as great as he was as a punter, is far more famous as a pundit in Pat McAfee,” Clark said. “A.J. Hawk, who I felt like was a good player, is now on TV, and he gets to give his thoughts as well."

Clark went on to say that Rodgers is one of the best quarterbacks to ever play in the NFL but isn't at that level any more and people are willing to say it on national broadcasts. Clark argued that Rodgers is now doing exactly what he's criticizing other players for, noting that Rodgers is now being paid for his appearances on McAfee's show.

"My issue with him is you’re doing the exact same thing," Clark said. "And the reason you’re getting this opportunity to say these asinine things is because someone is paying you who is exactly the same thing that you’re now speaking out against.”

McAfee has confirmed Rodgers has made more than $1 million for his segments.

“This dude is once again tone-deaf,” Clark continued. "This dude is once again unaware. This dude is once again arrogant to a point that’s almost sickening because he says these things, and he talks tough, and he behaves in his way, but he ain’t.

"This dude is a fraud. He’s been a fraud. He can throw a football and that’s where it stops. Once that talent ends ... so does he. And to sit up there, man, and to be just blatantly hypocritical is funny and sickening at the same time.”

My grandmother had those books. In the 60s. Funny thing was, as she got older, as she went to university and thereafter read good novels and best selling biographies and history books.

I need hope, in this allegedly hopeful season. Anybody love some good hopeful songs, and care to share? Will things get easier? Can we at least hope they will?

I want to know all the juicy gossip and dirt about the Power Gays, like actually powerful too, not the ones that produce a musical every few years and stay drunk in P-town. Do you know any? Are they friends? Have you had them? What are there proclivities? Tell us more.

In all this chaos, hell for some even celebration of multimillion dollar homes being burned to the ground, remember there are hundreds and thousands of middle class folks who were affected by this tragedy. Yahoo had a tribute page of the 10 confirmed dead so far. I was surprised to see the first 5 faces were all black or Mexican trying to save their homes. Let’s rebuild together.

Anybody else have this problem?

And by problem I mean unwanted attention. It can really be a burden.

Well?

What do you think of Sphynx cats?

What is the DL opinion?

The Match Game thread seems to be morphing into a discussion of The Ghost and Mrs. Muir, so I thought TGAMM deserved its own thread.

What do you remember about it? The zesty theme song (composed by Dave Grusin) that carried the brine of the Atlantic into your TV? Charles Nelson Reilly as the nervous nellie Claymore Gregg? The attempt to recreate the Maine coast on a studio set? The presence of DL fave Reta Shaw? Scruffy the dog?

While the original movie intimated that the Captain (being invisible) might peep in on the naked Mrs. Muir's muff, the TV show didn't seem to dwell on that.

Here is your thread for all Mrs. Muir-related topics.

Ugh no.

Versace or Hibachi?

All that ass-kissing and NONE of them got jobs in the Trump administration.

Tim Scott, Byron Donalds, etc., etc.

Trump will have them run the shoe shine stand in the West Wing of the White House.

She looks like shit. And she’s so fucking disrespectful. When prayer was called the camera cut to them and she was leaning down beside her seat to get a booklet and then was thumbing through its pages. What a fucking disgrace she is. Good for Karen Pence for totally blanking her and hubby when they arrived.

Caruso is certain to be elected. It’s not that she was caught overseas when this happened, it’s that the reason she was overseas was wildly frivolous. She went to attend the inauguration of the President of Ghana. Even I would vote for Caruso now.

I can roast , broil or stir fry. Have a well stocked pantry with the typical soy sauce , tomato sauce etc. I don't just want to sprinkle on some Mrs dash and call it a night and slam it in the oven

Harry who?

King Charles’ has been criticized for not acknowledging his son Prince Harry, his wife Meghan Markle, or their two children in a Christmas address, which focused on how the holiday was “a chance for family and friends to come together.”

The closest Charles came to acknowledging his family in California was when he spoke about the need to protect and safeguard the environment “for the sake of our children’s children,” however, no direct reference was made to Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

By contrast, multiple images were shown of his son, Prince William, and his wife, Kate Middleton, and their three children, Princess Charlotte, Prince George and Prince Louis.

The refusal to acknowledge Harry’s family went almost entirely unremarked in largely fawning accounts of the annual televised speech in the British media but was criticized on social media.

The king’s failure to acknowledge Harry was made less obvious by the decision not to film the speech from his desk, thereby avoiding critics analyzing photographs and portraits in the shot for clues about who was in or out of royal favor.

The Daily Beast has been told that Charles would like to reconcile with Harry but is being blocked from bringing him back into the family by William, who is implacably opposed to any such move.

The elder son believes Harry’s betrayal of the family in his books and interviews, in which he accused a member of the family, later revealed to be Kate, of racism, has put him beyond the pale. William’s consent is needed because Charles, who is sick with cancer, feels he cannot bequeath his heir a settlement with Harry that William cannot live with.

Hidden off the US Western shore, beneath the Pacific Ocean, is the Cascadia Subduction Zone. This fault is capable of generating earthquakes larger than magnitude 8 that can be felt hundreds of miles away, and a recent study has pinpointed the most dangerous segment along its 700-mile-long stretch.

The results will help scientists assess earthquake and tsunami risk for this region, including one particularly vulnerable state: Washington.

"This has been a subduction zone that's been under-studied with the kinds of tools that we have available now," geophysicist Suzanne Carbotte, a Bruce Heezen Lamont research professor at Columbia University, told Business Insider.

Armed with state-of-the-art technology that can probe deep beneath the ocean floor and create images, Carbotte and her team produced the first comprehensive survey of Cascadia's complex, below-ground composition. They published their work today in the peer-reviewed journal Science Advances.

The researchers discovered that Cascadia is broken up into at least four segments, which had been suggested by previous studies but never confirmed, Carbotte said.

The picture "before our study was a smooth surface with no obvious relationship to this segmentation," Carbotte said. "But that smooth surface was based on very, very sparse data. And in places, no data."

This new picture provides a much more accurate view of Cascadia's complexity, and of the risk it poses to the US West Coast.

Warm, cozy and comforting.

I don’t recall reading that it was streaming this weekend! Watched it tonight. Amy Adams is very good, but I was a little underwhelmed by the film.

The Ghost and Mrs Muir, (1947) adapted for film from original novel by (pseudonym) Josephine Leslie R.A. Dick. Part ghost story, part delightful romance that transcends time. Such a wonderful cast. Gene Tierney, Rex Harrison, George Sanders, and a young Natalie Wood.

Everyone fit their casting type so well, especially Harrison delivering his crabby sea dog lines perfectly, as his explanation of his memoirs "the unvarnished story of a seaman's life" - 'Blood and Swash.' " I am here because you believe I am here." Romanticizing Lucy's name as "Lucia, now there's a name for an Amazon."

Great dialogue, witty repartee between Tierney and Harrison makes the film so enjoyable. Nicely acted supporting cast. Perfect seaside setting. Of course, set in Maine, actual house in California - but that is a behind the scenes factoid which takes nothing away from the film. Beautiful haunting music, perfectly timed - and of course the plaintive sound of a lonely boat horn. Flawless. Did you see it? Did you enjoy it? What do you think?

Watch the very butch Truman Capote at the end.

This post on Reddit has some of the best critique of Crypto culture I've read. Worth reading the whole post.

[quote]I thought we were gonna change the world. However, the grifters took over, and every single founding principle of the space has gone to the wayside. “Ultra sound money” got replaced with 50x leverage on your daily shitcoin of choice. Decentralization got replaced with 3 bros on a multisig. Fighting the system got replaced with cryptobros spinelessly simping for the “world’s richest man” on the social media platform he owns and manipulates on a whim.

Keep em locked up! Get Hollywood out of the judicial system.

I love how they make sure to tell the audience that Joan doesn’t need money and no matter how much money the studio offers her, she simply doesn’t want to work - I guess outside of an episode on a sitcom that has run its course. Her agent tells us how the studio is flooded with letters demanding more Joan Crawford pictures! lol Joan reportedly drank a lot during production because she was scared to death of Lucille Ball. Joan is totally white knuckling it through the episode. This was towards the end of the series. Vivian Vance returned for a few guest appearances.

I kinda wish Joan had tried to do a sitcom like Bette Davis did. It would have been a camp classic.

Why is she so underrated?

I went to a psychic once. She even made a tape of the session and gave it to me.

She was wrong about pretty much everything but it was a lot of fun.

From the NY Post: A sleeping subway rider burned to death on an F train in Coney Island Sunday morning after a madman threw a lit match onto her causing her to burst into flames police sources said.

NYPD officers responded to reports of a fire just before 7:30 a.m. at the Coney Island-Stillwell Avenue subway station and found the woman engulfed in fire while sitting on an idling F train, police told The Post.

She was found with liquor bottles surrounding her, though it was not immediately clear if they played any part in the fire, sources said.

Investigators believe that the woman was sleeping when a man sitting across from her got up, walked by her and threw a match on her, engulfing her in fire, sources said.

I just learned of her through my Google newsfeed. Never heard of her until today. She is startlingly, heart-achingly beautiful, and her voice stunning. At least, I think it is.

Am I right that she is a great talent? I am not sophisticated about vocalists. I just know what mesmerizes me.

When I was 15 yrs old….

A boy followed me into the restroom one morning. I thought nothing of it. He cornered me and then he pulled out a knife and stuck it at my chest. He said.” I want that jacket and I want it now. I said, get that fucking knife away from me before I turn it around and put it in your eyeball. He was stunned. He said who the fuck are you? Said who the fuck are you right back at him. Then I shoved him back. Hard. He flew about 6 feet and landed on his ass with the knife still in his hand. He got up, called me a fucking bitch and ran out of the bathroom. I just stood there in the mirror, wondering what was happening looking back I don’t blame him. He was desperate and he just wanted my coat. And mine was the coolest jacket in the school.

Timmy looks great!

It's difficult for me to envision how these vast swaths of neighborhoods get rebuilt, and the time it would take. Home insurance payouts are often far from quick. Though the Los Angeles area has to begin with plenty of people in the construction business, this will require an additional army of construction workers over and beyond what Los Angeles normally has on hand. Is the L.A. area going to be flooded with hunky . . . er, excuse me, going to be flooded for years with hard-working construction people from all over the western U.S.? Have any of you seen or otherwise experienced the process of a rebuilding on such a scale? What is the time-frame? How is the larger community affected, a community which meantime is having to absorb not only the new construction workers but also the displaced homeowners who have nowhere else to go?

This morning I visited Larry the Cat (#10 Downing Street's Chief Mouser) for my usual Saturday morning fix of coffee and Caturday. Instead, I learned this and I'm so very confused. WTF?

[QUOTE]British nationals being held in Syrian prison camps for fighting on behalf of Islamic State should be allowed to return to the UK, Donald Trump’s incoming counter-terrorism chief has said.

Anyone watching? I'm a huge fan and was fortunate enough to see him live 3 times. Pure perfection. They've yet to touch on him being gay on the documentary yet.

What’s up with that?

He's such a ditzy Twink!

I'm fascinated by him because he's independent, he lives in an RV, he's fairly handy, and he seems really nice.

But he's so ditzy!

He has a mouse infestation in his camper, he doesn't really know how to drive, he can't cook for shit, and he's so clumsy!

Ethan also thinks that wet wipes constitute "taking a bath," and he's constantly breaking things in his camper.

I think he also has a few OCD type of phobias, which he hasn't really explained fully.

Nevertheless, I think he's adorable. And at least he has a boyfriend to keep him company.

And oh yeah, the boyfriend won't show his face on camera. Lol.

I've never understood the comparisons, to be honest. They were always two very different artists and women and never had anything in common with each other.

Amazon said it is halting some of its diversity and inclusion initiatives, joining a growing list of major corporations that have made similar moves in the face of increasing public and legal scrutiny.

In a Dec. 16 internal note to staffers that was obtained by CNBC, Candi Castleberry, Amazon’s VP of inclusive experiences and technology, said the company was in the process of “winding down outdated programs and materials” as part of a broader review of hundreds of initiatives.

“Rather than have individual groups build programs, we are focusing on programs with proven outcomes — and we also aim to foster a more truly inclusive culture,” Castleberry wrote in the note, which was first reported by Bloomberg.

Castleberry’s memo doesn’t say which programs the company is dropping as a result of its review. The company typically releases annual data on the racial and gender makeup of its workforce, and it also operates Black, LGBTQ+, indigenous and veteran employee resource groups, among others.

In 2020, Amazon set a goal of doubling the number of Black employees in vice president and director roles. It announced the same goal in 2021 and also pledged to hire 30% more Black employees for product manager, engineer and other corporate roles.

Meta on Friday made a similar retreat from its diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives. The social media company said it’s ending its approach of considering qualified candidates from underrepresented groups for open roles and its equity and inclusion training programs. The decision drew backlash from Meta employees, including one staffer who wrote, “If you don’t stand by your principles when things get difficult, they aren’t values. They’re hobbies.”

Other companies, including McDonald’s, Walmart and Ford, have also made changes to their DEI initiatives in recent months. Rising conservative backlash and the Supreme Court’s ruling against affirmative action in 2023 spurred many corporations to alter or discontinue their DEI programs.

Amazon, which is the nation’s second-largest private employer behind Walmart, also recently made changes to its “Our Positions” webpage, which lays out the company’s stance on a variety of policy issues. Previously, there were separate sections dedicated to “Equity for Black people,” “Diversity, equity and inclusion” and “LGBTQ+ rights,” according to records from the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine.

The current webpage has streamlined those sections into a single paragraph. The section says that Amazon believes in creating a diverse and inclusive company and that inequitable treatment of anyone is unacceptable. The Information earlier reported the changes.

Amazon spokesperson Kelly Nantel told CNBC in a statement: “We update this page from time to time to ensure that it reflects updates we’ve made to various programs and positions.”

Were you alive back then. I was half alive. I was 20 years old and in a precarious position. The whole world was opening up and totally fucking shut down at the same time. Gay Rights, Vietnam, Nixon, America fucking love it or leave it. Tell me about it. I was homeless cannon fodder about to be shipped to Saigon. But in just a few years I'd be fine. Everyone has a story. Tell me yours.

It's the chant that's lived on for decades: "Jer-ry! Jer-ry! Jer-ry!" While some may find it nostalgic, others might not think so highly of the notion.

With the upcoming documentary "Jerry Springer: Fights, Camera, Action" set to premiere next month, fans will get a "jaw-dropping" glance at what was really going on behind the scenes of one of the most controversial television shows in pop culture history.

In the newly released trailer for the two-part Netflix documentary, viewers get a glimpse of the drama that unfolded on and off camera and some of the darkest secrets that embodied crew members, producers, former guests and even Jerry Springer himself.

"I don't think anybody knew how crazy this show was going to be," former producer Toby Yoshimura admits in the trailer.

"The Jerry Springer Show" launched on Sept. 30, 1991, and ran for 27 seasons. The last episode aired on July 26, 2018.

"I want to take this opportunity to apologize for everything I've ever done," Springer, who died in 2023 from a brief battle with pancreatic cancer, says in a resurfaced clip from the trailer. "I have ruined the culture."

Initially, the program started off as a daytime talk show. However, given the poor ratings, producers were quick to flip the script.

"All I had to do was convince him, ‘Let’s make it wild,'" Richard Dominick, a former executive producer, says in the trailer.

From onstage brawls to shocking reveals, the show rapidly became "the modern version of the Roman Colosseum," as one producer describes it.

Dubbed as the "King of trash TV," Springer was determined to "demonstrate outrageousness," he said.

But behind the massive success was a wave of dark secrets and controversies.

"The bigger that show got, it raised questions about what really went on backstage," one voice can be heard saying in the trailer.

"The producers were coaching us on what to say and how to act," a former guest on the show says. "They weren't interested in what kind of impact it was going to have on you."

"Some stories went too far," Yoshimura admits.

"This was the most vile and grotesque freak show that's ever been on television," longtime reporter Robert Feder adds.

Despite the negativity surrounding the show's content, Yoshimura says producers started pushing the boundaries even further.

"We started pushing the needle towards red," he says. "Let's see how far we can push it."

Controversial subject lines included incest, bestiality, adultery and more, while encouraging physical altercations, chair-throwing, nudity and plenty of explicit behavior.

At one point during its 27-year run, Springer found himself in the middle of a murder trial that involved former guests of the show.

Former producers of the show admit that they consistently pushed the boundaries when it comes to what's appropriate for daytime television. In 2000, a married couple, Ralf and Eleanor Panitz, were guests on an episode of the show titled "Secret Mistresses Confronted." The couple accused Ralf's ex-wife, Nancy Campbell-Panitz, of stalking them.

Shortly after the episode aired, Campbell-Panitz was found dead. Ralf was charged with first-degree murder. He was later convicted and sentenced to life in prison.

"I would hope that you would feel some sense of responsibility," a city council member is heard saying in the trailer for the documentary. However, it's unclear what he is referring to.

"Jerry’s ability to connect with people was at the heart of his success in everything he tried, whether that was politics, broadcasting or just joking with people on the street who wanted a photo or a word," Jene Galvin, a family spokesperson and friend of Springer's since 1970, said in a statement. "He’s irreplaceable and his loss hurts immensely, but memories of his intellect, heart and humor will live on."

"Jerry Springer: Fights, Camera, Action," is set to premiere Jan. 7 on Netflix.

In other news, it looks like he's gotten the face he deserves

She has the annoying voice of a12-year-old girl, but a face that's been so tightly pulled that if she blinks, the sides of her mouth probably go up. She used to be a little plump, but now she's on Ozempic and getting skeletal.

How did she land this gig? You know she doesn't actually go out and try to find deals. The manufacturers of these products pay GMA to feature them, and Tory just stands around and reads from a card and talks about them.

"Six college students in Massachusetts were accused of luring an active-duty service member whom they falsely described as a sexual predator to their campus, where a group of more than two dozen people chased and assaulted him, authorities said. One of the students who was charged told police that the plot was modeled on “To Catch a Predator,” NBC’s discontinued program that, during its three seasons, aimed to catch adults seeking to prey on minors using undercover cameras and decoys impersonating underage dates, according to a statement of facts in the case. “Catch a predator is a big thing on TikTok currently,” the facts document cites the student, Easton Randall, 19, as saying...he was chased by what the statement describes as a “mob” of 25 to 30 people — some of them recording the pursuit — and ensnared in a conspiracy carried out by a group of six that includes allegations of “systemic mistreatment, false imprisonment, physical assault and battery and potential character assassination,” according to the university police sergeant who wrote the statement.

A review of campus security video detailed in the statement confirmed the victim’s account. The video captured students berating the victim as a sexual predator, recording the pursuit as they chased him and high-fiving one another a few minutes later, after one of the accused was captured slamming the man’s car door on his head, according to the statement. A review of Tinder messages showed the service member believed he was meeting an 18-year-old, the statement says. The woman's profile indicated she was 18. When officers followed up with Brainard about where the information about an underage girl came from, the statement adds, “she could not answer.” Randall told authorities that after having learned that Brainard was messaging with the victim, six students came up with the idea of luring him to campus.“

Gen Z is cooked! No wonder these miserable cretins aren't getting laid or getting along. The infantalization of themselves and obsession with predation are just absurd.

Anyone remember him?

My dentist is an early 40s Iranian man with no remarkable features or distinguishable sexual prowess. He definitely carries an air of sophistication but there’s no real trait that would separate him from anyone else in a crowd.

But when he reclines me in that dentist chair it’s like I’m a teenager all over again.

There is of course the intimacy of the doctor patient relationship. Sharing things you don’t share with others, the physical touch, the advice and guidance, etc but it’s far less about that and more to do with the power dynamic and eroticism. There’s this strange sense of both fear and security when he’s prodding away in my mouth. He’s in control and I trust him but it hurts and I’m scared and we’ve gone too far to stop.

Sometimes he’ll say things like “you need to floss” and I’ll reply “but then I won’t see you as often.” He’ll be curt and professional but flash an extended perfect smile. Don’t worry, none of this is creepy because I’m younger than him, good looking, and almost 6 feet with a real job. I have an appointment next week so he’s been racing through my thoughts.

Can you relate?

I blinked last year and missed this news. Selena Gomez is LOADED. Are all wealthy folks now in fact billionaires? It seems you need a billion to be rich, in the 21st century.

Are you a billionaire? I know many of you have 10+ million in your IRAs. Sheesh. Aren't some of you at least billionaires?

Last month was the launch of a well received expose on the Sackler family and they are sure to figure prominently in the upcoming HBO documentary Crime of the Century that starts airing on the tenth of May. Anybody read the book yet and want to share or continue the discussion when the documentary comes out? I read the extended article in the New Yorker a few years ago, I’ll link it inside, but I’ve known mainly out them from being involved in the art world and museums. Most impressive is photographer Nan Goldin’s crusade against them. There have been a smattering of threads, but not much discussion over the years, hopefully some more will happen here. And like the Tina/Meth threads, firsthand experience with the Oxy addiction would really give insight.

Peter Krause as Nate in Six Feet Under. I thought he was incredible. I'm not mentioning James Gondolfini since that goes without saying.

Have a look…

I found this interesting. I generally have liked David's writing and have always felt that Amy was very talented. But these always seemed cold AF in other respects... (And anyone who is friends with Sarah Jessica Parker immediately turns me off.. (I hate that entire Andy Cohen "group".)

But this interview put things in perspective... They both seem like moderate elitists, which I already knew about David. The whole rarified air thing with success..Some of the comments about Tiffany are cold as shit, pure snobbery..

But I think that we have all known someone like Tiffany or have those aspects in ourselves. So after hearing them speak, I kind of get it more. People set for self destruction can be a black hole.

Its basically an interview about grief, and these two REALLY loved their mother. And Amy truly does love bunnies, which I like.

This one is worth checking out.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is preparing to announce his resignation as Liberal Party Leader as soon as Monday, according to a new report in The Globe and Mail.

Following a steep downfall in public opinion polls and an unhappy caucus calling on him to quit, three sources told the Canadian newspaper that while they don’t know exactly when Trudeau would announce his resignation, it is likely to happen before a key national caucus meeting on Wednesday.

The newspaper added that it would not be identifying the sources as they “were not authorized to discuss internal party matters.”

One of the sources, who claimed to have spoken recently to Trudeau, said that the prime minister acknowledges that he has to make the announcement before he meets the Liberal caucus so that it doesn’t look like he was edged out by his own party members.

Their seeing my movement and the way that I interpreted the character, they would look at that and then that gave them the help that they needed to draw the character.

Sometimes, the randomness of the algorithm cuts through all the war, anger, politics and just brings you something lovely and peaceful. Today, I got served a video of this very sweet Turkish farmer who makes the most peaceful, simple, but absolutely delightful videos of him interacting with his farm's animals. The most adorable ones may be the ones he posts with his donkeys, sharing a snack of some freshly picked fruit or vegetable with him. Their faces are just expressive, seeing their human'esque teeth chomping down on an apple or carrot is adorable and you can just tell -- from the way they interact, to the contentedness in their eyes, to their body language -- that these animals are loved and well cared for by the farmer.

Anyway, I thought you guys might enjoy it, too.

Started yesterday and got huge ratings. People then rushed to BBC iPlayer to watch the second episode, which crashed the servers for a bit.

Casting remains the best out of any (English) version, and this show lives or dies on that. I couldn't finish the second season of Canadian, Australian, and NZ versions because they mostly cast influencers, but the Brits just nail it every time, basically by just casting regular folk from all walks of life.

Trump is doubling down on his first term efforts to own Greenland.

For years, Anderson has been boxed into the blonde bombshell archetype after getting her start as a Playboy Playmate and then appearing in the TV series, “Baywatch.” Her marriage to Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee made headlines when a sex tape leaked.

Anderson took a brief break from the spotlight to focus on raising her two sons, but she soon returned, starring as Roxie Hart in “Chicago” on Broadway. And last year, she took control of her narrative by publishing her memoir “Love, Pamela” and appeared in the Netflix documentary “Pamela, a Love Story,” which Brandon Lee produced.

Lee’s pride is felt over the computer screen. His emotions are high as he recalls how Anderson always told him that “she was going to have to always going to have to prove herself to people, and we would always have to do that.”

But the tide is turning. Has Anderson finally proved herself and her acting abilities? With the critical acclaim for her performance as Shelly, Lee has seen a shift not just from audiences and fans, but also from Hollywood and what roles she’s getting offered. But it didn’t happen overnight, and it took “The Last Showgirl” to get there. Lee says, “When you really think about it and where we’ve come from over the last decade, it’s remarkable.” He goes on to say, “What Pamela is doing and the opportunities she’s getting right now are just fantastic. It lets you know you’re doing the right things.”

Below, Lee talks about why he has made it his personal mission to help shift the narrative toward Anderson, whom he calls “Pamela” during the conversation, and how Hollywood has responded to her.

[bold]There’s a story of the script being turned down by Pamela’s former agent before even showing it to her, and you happened to come across it. Can you talk about meeting with Gia and that gut instinct that this was right for Pamela?[/bold]

When I first laid eyes on it, I wasn’t really used to looking at projects like that for Pamela. It was such a breath of fresh air, and it was so impactful, and it was something I knew she could deliver on. And it was so timely, and it just seemed like the stars were aligning a bit on it and how it was playing into this arc of where she was in her career. I knew there were so many real-life inspirations she could take into this.

So, I met with Gia and producer Robert Schwartzman and was figuring out if they were going to be the people we trusted with this — her comeback performance.

It is very much a family business with them as well, and everything’s kind of entangled like that, and that’s kind of how we operate. I knew we could trust them, and I think it was about just putting the right pieces in place. Once the cast started to come together for that, and who was going to be helping Pamela carry this film, it just became such a no-brainer and such a fantastic opportunity. And I knew from day one it was going to be a special product.

[bold]What about getting the script to Pamela, what was her reaction when you gave her this story?[/bold]

My mom’s so funny. She will tell you it’s the first time she’s ever read a real script. I think that’s probably mostly true.

The conversation was very quick. She read it and said, “I want to do it.” There was no deliberation around it. She was instantly enamored with Shelly, and it spoke to her.

This film was made for just over a million bucks in 18 days. So the fact that it has the impact that it has is incredible. It just shows that everyone involved with the project had to come together. It’s incredible what can happen when people can put ego and stardom to the side and really make it an art project and come together for the sake of filmmaking, great writing, great directing and great cinematography.

The Supreme Court on Thursday rejected President-elect Donald Trump’s request to block criminal proceedings in his hush money case in New York, meaning a sentencing hearing scheduled for Friday can go ahead:

"The application for stay presented to Justice Sotomayor and by her referred to the Court is denied for, inter alia, the following reasons. First, the alleged evidentiary violations at President-Elect Trump’s state-court trial can be addressed in the ordinary course on appeal. Second, the burden that sentencing will impose on the President-Elect’s responsibilities is relatively insubstantial in light of the trial court’s stated intent to impose a sentence of “unconditional discharge” after a brief virtual hearing.

Justice Thomas, Justice Alito, Justice Gorsuch, and Justice Kavanaugh would grant the application."

I’d probably accidentally kill myself, like I did the last time I took one and went driving while sleep walking.

I cannot believe I survived that and didn’t kill someone else in the process, or that I actually took and passed the field sobriety test the officer gave me at the crash site, while I was basically, still sleeping!

How do you fall asleep when experiencing massive anxiety, DL? I cannot calm down with the fires and have been ruminating, thinking of what people have lost, etc.

Actor Josh Hartnett has revealed why he chose to turn down two superhero movie roles at a time when he seemed destined for superstardom.

Hartnett, who stars in M Night Shyamalan’s forthcoming psychological thriller, Trap, told the UK’s Guardian newspaper that the amount of attention he was receiving had a part to play in his decision to walk away from Hollywood at the peak of his popularity. He said:

“People’s attention to me at the time was borderline unhealthy. There were incidents. People showed up at my house. People that were stalking me.” At one point, he revealed, “a guy showed up at one of my premieres with a gun, claiming to be my father. He ended up in prison.”

“There were lots of things. It was a weird time. And I wasn’t going to be grist for the mill.”

Hartnett revealed that, as well as twice turning down the role of Superman, he engaged in chats with director Christopher Nolan about Batman, a role that eventually went to Christian Bale:

“I just didn’t want my life to be swallowed up by my work. And there was a notion at that time you just kind of give it all up. And you saw what happened to some people back then. They got obliterated by it. I didn’t want that for myself.”

Hartnett revealed his regret that he didn’t work with Nolan at the time, something he rectified with his appearance as a nuclear scientist in Nolan’s Oscar winner Oppenheimer. He said:

“I recognise the missed opportunity to work with a guy like Chris. And I’ve figured out that as much as you’re worried about curating your career to things you’re interested in, I don’t believe that’s the most important thing any more. It’s about finding people who you really trust.”

Anyone else watching this documentary? We are about two thirds through it. It’s terrifying, but also fascinating.

I likes Greg Kelly when he co-hosted GoodDay NY with mafia princess Rosanna Scotto for a few years. He was quirky and very open minded and never had a problem with gay men or women on the show. He went off the grid for a time and now is the news anchor for NEWSMAX. Don't you have to be a right wing conspiracy nut to work there?. I always thought he was a right of center kind of guy but now I find him just creepy.

What's his personal story? I remember he was accused of raping a woman but since his Dad is a former police chief it might have gotten swept under the rug, especially since DeBlasio was mayor at the time.

It's pure horror.

My first reaction was how much money was spent on focus groups determining the seating arrangement. Alicia Menedez gets the center seat and center shot? I mean Michael Steele was a Governor and he is the former Chair of the RNC. Shouldn't he have gotten that seat? Or would that look too much like pimp-daddy Michael Steel and his girls?

-IMHO, it will be money well-spent should MSNBC hire a stylist for Symone Sanders-(whatever). Those body hugging knit dresses that hug her every curve (fat) are not flattering.

Instead of mourning the devastating destruction and death that's befallen the city of Los Angeles due to raging wildfires this week, Elon Musk has taken to his far-right hate speech incubator X to blame the fires on — wait for it — diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs.

In other words, Musk is using unabashedly racist lies to pin the climate change-fueled disaster on minorities.

"They prioritized DEI over saving lives and homes," Musk tweeted. He was responding to a post by the anti-LGBTQ+ hate account Libs of TikTok, which claimed that the LA Fire Department ensured its employees were "racially diverse enough" — something that was then contorted into racist vitriol in Musk's twisted mind.

Vicky Collison and Andrew Grinsfelder hurried past a burning home on an upscale residential street just off Sunset Boulevard in Pacific Palisades. There were piles of rubble on all sides and glowing embers swirled in the air.

They made the treacherous trek back into the coastal neighborhood on Wednesday afternoon, ignoring the evacuation order that had driven Collison, 60, to flee to a relative’s home in mid-Wilshire the previous evening. She picked up Grinsfelder, 18, from UCLA, where he’s a freshman, and drove to San Vicente Boulevard in Santa Monica. Blocked from proceeding by car, they went the remaining several miles on foot, past law enforcement checkpoints keeping out unauthorized vehicles and dozens of burning structures.

Yet he was best friends with Jeffrey Epstein.

Omg!

Were the Russians responsible for this one too?

Audra isn’t up to the challenge. She simply can’t sing the role. Her singing is sometime okay but when it is bad, it is really bad. It’s the first time I’ve heard her sing out of tune. With the singing this bad, the acting doesn’t really matter. Nonetheless people gave her standing Os throughout the show. They cheered and oooohed like high schoolers when Audra and Danny kissed. I wish we could see Kathy Brier in the role or even Sutton.

Justin Baldoni is accusing Blake Lively of a concerted effort to remove him from the filmmaking process for their 2024 drama It Ends With Us.

In addition to alleging that Lively tried to pry creative direction from him, Baldoni, who also directed the film, claims that Lively, 37, tried to ban him from the film’s premiere.

Baldoni’s accusation came in a lawsuit he filed on Tuesday, December 31, against The New York Times. He is seeking $250 million in damages for four complaints, including libel and false light invasion of privacy.

The lawsuit, obtained by Us Weekly, alleges that Lively “systematically sidelined [him] from the marketing of his own Film.”

“Further undermining Baldoni’s role, Lively initially refused to permit his attendance at the Film’s premiere,” the lawsuit states. “Only after significant pressure did she reluctantly agree to allow Baldoni and the Wayfarer team to attend, but under humiliating conditions. The Wayfarer team and their families, including Baldoni and [producer Jamey] Heath, were segregated from the main cast, barred from the exclusive after-party, and forced to organize their own event at additional cost.”

The suit further describes Lively’s alleged effort to ostracize Baldoni and his family at the film’s premiere.

“Baldoni’s participation on the red carpet was cut short, and his family and friends were confined to a makeshift holding area in the basement before being escorted into a separate theater after Lively’s departure,” the suit continues. “Not only had Lively stolen the Film, but she also robbed Baldoni and his team of any genuine opportunity to celebrate their hard work.”

Baldoni, 40, further accuses Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, of using bullying tactics to “exile” him from his own film. In addition to her alleged effort to ban Baldoni from the premiere, the suit says that Reynolds, 48, tried to wield his influence to convince Baldoni’s agent to drop him as a client.

Sunny's not having a good season on The View, is she?

The View co-host Sunny Hostin's husband Emmanuel "Manny" Hostin has been named in a recent lawsuit.

Emmanuel, an orthopedic surgeon in New York, is among over 200 defendants who were named in a lawsuit filed last month, which reportedly accuses The View host's husband of federal insurance fraud.

According to a report from the Daily Mail, Emmanuel is alleged to have received "kickbacks" by "performing surgery and fraudulently billing" the insurance company American Transit, which insures taxi companies and Uber and Lyft drivers.

The lawsuit, filed on Dec. 17, is reported to be one of the largest Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) cases ever filed in New York. Emmanuel, along with many others, is accused of having "knowingly provided fraudulent medical and other healthcare services including arthroscopic surgeries."

American Transit claims to have been billed "in exchange for kickbacks and/or other compensation which were disguised as dividends or other cash distributions."

Emmanuel has been married to Sunny since 1998 and shares two children with the talk show host, a lawyer and former federal prosecutor.

According to a statement provided to the Daily Mail, Emmanuel's lawyer, Daniel Thwaites, said that his client "denies each and every allegation" and believes the lawsuit to be a "blanket, scattershot, meritless lawsuit by a near-bankrupt insurance carrier."

Parade also reached out to Emmanuel's lawyer but did not immediately hear back.

Not shaming him, just thought it was unusual

To be fair, I never saw the stage production and never had a desire to. A friend of mine is a huge fan of the play, so I let him talk me into seeing the movie.

It was all very odd. Ariana Grande seemed to be playing a fantasyland version of Elle Woods, complete with the pink wardrobe, and was a very unappealing character for about the first half of the movie. Was Glinda (pardon me - Galinda) supposed to be a narcissistic pain in the ass?

The movie seemed not to not have much of a focus until about the last 30 minutes, and just as the plot started to get going, the movie was over. I'm surprised "Wicked" is such an acclaimed musical, because I didn't find any of the musical numbers memorable, except maybe for "Dancing Through Life," and that was mainly because I was enjoying watching Jonathan Bailey thrusting his hips in his tight purple pants the whole time. Other than that, there wasn't a single hummable tune in the film, and I found myself dozing off during a couple of the slow songs.

Cynthia Erivo was fine in it, and she managed to elicit some sympathy for her character, but I wouldn't say she or Ariana deserve any award nominations. But since they both got Golden Globe nominations, I'm mystified as to why Ariana was nominated in the Best Supporting Actress category when she has just as much screen time as Cynthia, who got a Best Actress nod.

Then there's Bowen Yang, who simply brings his lame SNL queen schtick to the big screen. A useless character that does nothing to propel the story along. Whose dick did he suck to get that part?

Overall, I left the theater feeling very "meh" about the whole thing. But of course, now I'm going to have to see Part 2 to find out what happens after Cynthia Erivo goes flying away on her broom.

What did other DLers think of "Wicked?"

Is he winning the Oscar?

Danny Kaye is one of the most well-known foodie celebrities, and was known as a fabulous cook. I'd heard of his lemon capellini in the past, and I think that's what's mentioned in this piece by Ruth Reichl.

And of course, Kate Hepburn's famous brownie recipe.

What other delicious recipes come from celebrities? And don't mention Kwanzaa cake.

Why, in gay years she's.....dead.

I'm sure this is a movie they'd both prefer we forget was ever made but I liked it. Great cast. It spawned several sequels of course, all of which were absolutely horrifyingly bad. Michael Carbonaro bowed out after the first (smart) and got famous as the magician on "The Carbonaro Effect." Norton plays Rodzilla, an over-endowed Teutonic Top.

Is he teasing us at this point?

Elon Musk’s Boring Company cut a 1.7-mile tunnel beneath the streets of Las Vegas that’s meant to offer a clean way of clearing up traffic in Sin City.

Since it opened, the tunnel has drawn criticism for its high construction costs and relatively low passenger numbers compared with traditional mass transit systems like trains and subways.

Now, the company behind it has been accused of skirting “building, environmental and labor regulations,” amid a lack of oversight on the project.

Do you think Johnny Depp will ever have a scandal that will finally end his career once and for all? Aside from drugs and violence, I have a feeling he has skeletons in his closet. His Viper Room club had mob ties, his business partner went missing, he's friends with Marilyn Manson they text each other about having sex with teenagers and torture porn. Friends/attempted to be friends with murderers.

He was beautiful when young, but always seemed evil and dour.

Michael starts talking about Johnny from the 6 minute mark.

There I said it. I have had a great deal of sex in my life. But I have been barely moved to have a feeling about it outside of the fact that good lover or not I am bored. I can stay hard but it’s all an act. I don’t like blow jobs, hate fucking- it’s like riding a bull. I like all romantic parts: hard holding, kissing forever, cuddling. That stuff turns me on. And the strange thing is I can watch porn and enjoy it, but usually I am only turned on by the beginning of it. I wish I could point to some example in my past that might explain it. But I had a very comfortable upper-middle class life. Good family. And all the post-war bullshit I could take. But even as a child I wasn’t turned on by sexual things on television or in the movies.

I was just visiting a relation north of Tampa, FL. As little as I'd like to live there, the live oaks, the Spanish moss, the pelicans, the salt marshes, the golden fogs, the coffee and the home-style cooking were incredible.

Downtown LA was a wonderland of Art Deco with excellent restaurants, the amazing Public Library and The Last Bookstore. 71 Above was one of the best dining experiences I have ever had.

People told me I'd hate Milan, but I though the modern architecture was fascinating, the cathedral astounding and the people were somewhat brusque but witty and stylish.

It occurs to me I've never been somewhere I didn't find something to like about.

Although I've never been to either I think Dubai and Las Vegas would be my votes. But without having gone, it's impossible to say.

On Monday, the four-year anniversary of the Jan. 6 riot, members of the self-proclaimed “J6 community” gathered at a Washington hotel ballroom to lionize those who had stormed the Capitol and to rail about the “civil rights abuses” Jan. 6 defendants faced as “political hostages.”

Pardons were not sufficient, speakers at the event argued. Those who had committed criminal acts at the Capitol deserved restitution.

As a politician he has tasted triumphed and endured isolation.

The path of triumph began when as a young conservative minister he was responsible for negotiating Britain's entry into the common market. It culminated when as Prime Minister he signed the treaty which made the United Kingdom a member of the European community. The isolation began three years later, when after defeat in two general elections, he lost the leadership of his party. He has never held political office since.

Greatly admired abroad, but treated with a certain caution at home, his good taste and wide interests have allowed him to enjoy many things; politics, music, and a love of the sea.

The screenplay, written by Dan Wiedenhaupt, is based on the true story of the Whittington brothers, three renowned racecar drivers, two of whom were implicated in the 1980s IMSA scandal in which several drivers funded their racing careers through drug smuggling, money laundering, and tax evasion.

Does the datalounge agree?

The Pennsylvania senator said he won't be "rooting against" the president-elect once he's back in the White House either.

Sen. John Fetterman (D-Penn.) downplayed the drama that Donald Trump’s second term as president could cause, telling his fellow Democrats there is no need to “freak out” before the Republican has even returned to office.

During a Sunday interview on ABC’s “This Week,” the legislator told host Jonathan Karl that he thinks many of his peers’ handwringing about Trump has been counterproductive.

This will drive him crazy. Trump is basically Helen Lawson in terms of ego.

There are six photos on display in Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s 2024 holiday card — but one in particular is generating ample buzz.

Nestled amongst photos of the couple visiting Nigeria and Colombia this year, the top middle photo of the card’s six chosen snaps includes a rare photo of the couple’s kids, son Prince Archie and daughter Princess Lilibet. Archie, 5, and Lilibet, 3, run towards Harry, 40, and Meghan, 43, who are standing with open arms alongside the family’s dogs Guy, Pula and Momma Mia.

The photo of Archie and Lilibet is the first time the Sussex kids have been shown since they briefly appeared in Harry & Meghan, the six-part docuseries that the couple debuted on Netflix two years ago in December 2022.

Archie and Lilibet are shown from behind, fully capturing their red hair, which Prince Harry spoke about recently. On Sept. 30, Prince Harry attended the WellChild Awards in London, where he told Hello! chief content officer Sophie Vokes-Dudgeon that both “Archie and Lili have been blessed with their mother’s thick hair.” Vokes-Dudgeon wrote that Harry also “marveled that it won’t be long until Lili can sit on hers.”

This year’s WellChild Awards wasn’t the first time Harry has spoken about Archie and Lili’s red hair, which they inherited from Harry himself. During an interview on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, the Duke of Sussex spoke of his mother Princess Diana’s Spencer family, telling the talk show host, “the Spencer gene is very, very strong.”

“I actually really, genuinely thought at the beginning of my relationship [with Meghan] that, should this go the distance and we have kids, that there’s no way the ginger gene will stand up to my wife’s genes — but I was wrong!” he continued.

“Go gingers,” Harry jokingly added.

In addition to Harry, all three of Diana’s siblings — Lady Sarah McCorquodale, Lady Jane Fellowes and Earl Charles Spencer — all have red hair.

Lilibet’s red hair was first revealed in the 2021 Sussex family holiday card, released six months after Lilibet’s birth that June. It was the first photo shared of Harry and Meghan’s only daughter, and the photo of the newly-minted family of four was accompanied by the message, “This year, 2021, we welcomed our daughter, Lilibet to the world. Archie made us a ‘Mama’ and a ‘Papa,’ and Lili made us a family.”

Private wealth companies have bought up thousands of private doctor practices and hospitals, all with the intension of squeezing as much profit out of each as possible.

Is it surprising that patient care suffers?

OMG this broke my heart.

King of the waves.

Prince Harry recently took his young son, Prince Archie, to surf legend Kelly Slater’s surf school, sparking speculation that the royal father may be eager to teach his eldest child how to ride.

A photograph of the father-and-son duo atop a Jet Ski at Slater’s Surf Ranch in Lemoore, Calif., was posted and then deleted on Instagram Wednesday by professional surfer Raimana van Bastolaer.

Harry, 40, wore a black wetsuit with a surfboard on his lap as he sat behind Van Bastolaer and Archie, 5, on the Jet Ski.

The photo was included in a reel that the surfer captioned, “Don’t hate but be happy & keep smiling. Brother HARRY, Let’s go for 2025!”

The Tahitian surfer deleted the video before reposting a new version that didn’t include the photo of Archie.

The post still showed snaps of the Duke of Sussex catching a wave and one of him and Van Bastolaer smiling in the water with their surfboards.

Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, 43, rarely share images of Archie and his three-year-old sister, Princess Lilibet, with the public, except for holiday cards and the occasional birthday photo.

The Sussexes 2024 holiday card included a photo of their children outdoors, running toward their parents’ outstretched arms with the family’s dogs by their side.

However, Archie and Lilibet’s faces cannot be seen in the snap.

Prince Harry reportedly began surfing after Meghan bought him lessons for his 36th birthday in 2020, the same year they stepped down as senior working members of the royal family and moved to Montecito, Calif.

Since then, Harry is believed to have become friends with Van Bastolaer.

Known as “Tahitian royalty,” the surfer has ridden some of the most jaw-dropping waves documented.

Last October, he posted another video showing Prince Harry tackling the waves.

“In Tahiti, we still call you Prince Harry. But at Surf Ranch, it’s my brother,” Van Bastolaer captioned the post. “It was an honour to have you surf with me and Kelly Slater.”

At the start of the clip, Harry sat behind Van Bastolaer on his Jet Ski, surfboard in hand. The surf pro then shouted at Harry to jump off the Jet Ski and get up on his board. The prince quickly stood up on the surfboard and rode the wave for nearly a minute.

Slater’s Surf Ranch is famous for its one-of-a-kind man-made 6-foot barreling wave that can last up to 2,300 feet.

It is the only artificial wave to receive World Surf League accreditation, making Slater’s Surf Ranch a viable venue to host top-level competitions.

Harry’s surfing exploits were shared on the same day Meghan made her official return to Instagram, posting a black-and-white video filmed by Harry of her running on the beach and writing “2025” in the sand.

'Amid Elon Musk’s to-do list includes serving as chief executive of Tesla and SpaceX; overseeing X; and acting as a close advisor to President-elect Donald Trump and running the Department of Government Efficiency. In addition to those formidable tasks, he has managed to accomplish the improbable: Rank among the top players of the popular dungeon-crawling video games Diablo IV and Path of Exile 2...In a Tuesday evening Path of Exile 2 stream, Musk appeared to try to enter game portals he doesn’t have access to and passed by valuable in-game items without collecting them, denoting rookie gameplay, Vice reported. The faux-pas convinced Twitch streamer Quin69 to allege Musk didn’t understand basic gaming conventions and was “boosting” his character by hiring a better player to “grind” through the game for him by completing tedious, time-consuming tasks.

“He literally has no idea what he’s doing,” Quin69, who has more than 892,000 Twitch followers, said in his stream. “This is straight-up account sharing.”...Musk became one of Diablo IV’s top players on Nov. 20 last year, posting a video on X of his record fast conquest of “the Pit,” a culminating challenge at the end of the game, in under two minutes. The feat came weeks after Musk’s appearance on the “Joe Rogan Experience,” where he claimed to be among the top 20 Diablo IV players in the world. (According to Microsoft-owned leaderboard platform Helltides.com, Elon Musk now sits at No. 53 on the all-time record board for the Pit.) “So many life lessons to be learned from speedrunning video games on max difficulty,” Musk said in the post. “Teaches you to see the matrix, rather than simply exist in the matrix.” Avid Diablo IV gamers weren’t convinced. Luiz Felipe Terra da Silva, a 20-year-old student and video game TikToker in Brazil, said it was widely accepted in the gaming community that Musk took advantage of a bug in order to set a new Pit record.'

He is SO PATHETIC and childlike. How mentally ill is Adrian Dittman that he needs to hire slaves to play video games for him just so that he can pretend he's 'seeing the matrix'? How STUPID is he that he didn't realize he would expose himself instantly by streaming the game? As if people who actually play wouldn't notice everything you do wrong and don't understand? There's a list somewhere of all the proofs of his fake accounts that he showed on stream - mostly a lot of embarrassing mistakes, but his profile's chat history is all in Chinese except for when he streamed. Account sharing is a ToS violation in any game that takes its ranked system seriously, gamers are calling for his ass to get banned!

Richard Milhous Nixon (January 9, 1913 – April 22, 1994) was the 37th president of the United States, serving from 1969 until his resignation in 1974. A member of the Republican Party, he previously served as a representative and senator from California and as the 36th vice president from 1953 to 1961 under President Dwight D. Eisenhower. His presidency saw the reduction of U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War, détente with the Soviet Union and China, the Apollo 11 Moon landing, and the establishment of the Environmental Protection Agency and Occupational Safety and Health Administration. Nixon's second term ended early when he became the only U.S. president to resign from office, as a result of the Watergate scandal.

I would take Nixon all over again compared to the convicted felon Trump.

And all dishevelled wandering stars.

The Getty Villa is part of the J. Paul Getty Trust, which includes the largest endowment of any museum in the world, estimated at more than $8 billion in 2023. It houses the trust's collection of Ancient Greek and Roman art.

Fire departments used "state-of-the-art air handling systems" to help protect the building, Katherine E. Fleming, the president and CEO of the Getty Trust, told USA Today.

But it wasn't just expensive architecture and state-of-the-art firefighting that helped. Getty staff members have been consistently clearing brush from the surrounding area all year as part of its fire-mitigation efforts, the museum said.

That's a crucial lesson for homeowners in fire-risk areas.

Ludicrous, barely there arcs for the characters. Pacing was way off. The movie seemed to have no knowledge of Mexican culture. Selena Gomez was terrible. Absolutely no one would this huge tranny to be an actual woman. The only plus was Zoe Saldana…surprise…is able to sing and dance with great charisma. I would replace Zoe with Mike Faist, because her role was completely non sexual and Mike would tear up the stage during the VIP banquet wearing Zoe’s red suit, shaking his ass off aka that wedding video on Twitter where Mike is tearing up the dance floor back in Ohio.

Is the movie based a true story? A straight violent criminal who looks like a linebacker and is ugly as sin, wants to escape responsibility, fakes his death and self dead names, has a pussy installed, brings his kids and ex wife back to Mexico by lying to them about who he really is, manipulates his wife with money, starts an affair with another women, and does dramatically and then memorializes himself as a saint with an icon that looks 100 x better than him.

Am I missing something?

Continuing our discussion originally started by Voice of the Night.

Prior thread:

Only we can stop wildfires.

Last month, Shawn Mendes directly addressed the ongoing speculation surrounding his sexuality, with the 26-year-old star being faced with rumors that he is secretly gay since he kick started his career more than 10 years ago.

Shawn previously admitted that the constant discussion around his sexuality upset him, telling Rolling Stone in 2018: “I’d like to say I don’t care about it, but that’s not true. In the back of my heart, I feel like I need to go be seen with someone — like a girl — in public to prove to people that I’m not gay.”

But in his new song “The Mountain,” Shawn says that he is no longer bothered by what people have to say about him.

In the song, which he debuted last month, Shawn sings: “You can say I’m too young / You can say I’m too old / You can say I like girls or boys / Whatever fits your mold / But I've never been better / So call it what you want.”

He opened up a little more during his concert on Oct. 28.

“The truth is that I didn’t get to do a lot of 15-year-old things and discover parts of myself that you do at 15,” he then said, per the Independent. “There’s this thing about my sexuality, and people have been talking about it for so long.”

Shawn added that the speculation is “kind of silly,” and told fans: “I think sexuality is such a beautifully complex thing, and it’s so hard to just put into boxes.”

“It always felt like such an intrusion on something very personal to me. Something that I was figuring out in myself, something that I had yet to discover and still have yet to discover it,” he went on.

“The real truth about my life and my sexuality is that, man, I’m just figuring it out like everyone. And it feels really scary because we live in a society that has a lot to say about that,” Shawn concluded. “And I’m trying to be really brave and just allow myself to be a human and feel things. And that’s all I really want to say about that for now.”

And in a new interview with Zane Lowe for Apple Music, Shawn has reacted to the response to his comments — with some accusing him of only mentioning his sexuality as a publicity stunt for his new album, Shawn, released today.

Discussing “The Mountain” with Zane, Shawn said that he wrote it after spending “a lot of years” being “hurt” and “confused” by the way that people perceived him.

“Humans, we’re pretty fragile,” he explained. “When you have hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of people projecting their opinion of who they think you are and why they think you’re that onto you… The human brain is fragile.”

“I’ve had times where I’ve been reading what people think about me, and it’s gotten to the point where I’m like: ‘Maybe that’s true,’” Shawn added. “It’s sad because I think about little Shawn, like, 15, 16-year-old Shawn, who is just trying to do his best job and has no idea.”

“No one told him: ‘Hey, dude, you’re in for one because having hundreds of thousands of people daily tell you what they think about you is going to be really intense on the psyche, it’s going to mess you up a little bit,'” he shared.

Zane then mentioned the fact that Shawn addresses the conversation around his sexuality in his song, and told the star that he had defended him to people who criticized his choice to speak out.

Zane said to Shawn: “I really weighed in — I got pissed off that people go to you for so many years, you finally came to some conclusion through your art, [and] directly to your fans, from the stage, decided to just speak your truth in that moment, how it related to you. And people accused you of using it for promotional purposes.”

“I said: ‘The guy hasn’t promoted anything for four-and-a-half fucking years,’” Zane went on. “‘The guy literally played the “No Attention” game for four-and-a-half fucking years, and now you’re accusing him of trying to sell records, are you kidding?!’”

And Shawn agreed with this sentiment, acknowledging the lose-lose situation that he is in.

“If you’re not saying anything, you’re hiding,” he said. “And if you’re saying something, you’re promoting it. It’s crazy, isn't it?”

JCPenney and Macy's are pretty much the last two big old-school department store chains remaining. Macy's stays because it gobbled up everyone else, but then there's JCPenney—still in the game. What are they doing that Sears and Montgomery Ward couldn't?

Whiff a popper and relax your muscles, she’s going in.

Julian has nice things to say about Angela Lansbury, his Little women co-star on his instagram:

Heartbroken but so grateful for the time we spent together

I'll tell you a Department Store anecdote.

My country Switzerland still has downtown shopping in a variety of department stores from low priced popular to luxury. One middle class generic department store "COOP" is a national chain of supermarkets with department stores in the cities.

At the twice a year sales, COOP hires old fashioned sales barkers who get on the store intercom and host flash sales, around the store, for 30 minutes usually, each sale. A nonstop sales spiel encouraging housewives to take advantage of the extra 50% off sales items in domestics, ladies lingerie, etc. In the old fashioned barker way in very old fashioned French intonation.

I barely remember this as a kid in the USA but I think it used to exist, too. Do you remember this? They used to do it in Paris when I studied there in the 90s. For example at Tati.

More from Walford here.

…then it’s seriously going to backfire for him with him whole ‘coming out’ speech just before his album came out late last year.

I say this as he’s been pictured with what looks like his new girlfriend. The whole coming out thing now feels offensive and a misfire 😤

It's weird for many reasons. What is with that old guy's insanely white teeth, for one thing.

Or will people only allow their westerns to be filtered through Taylor Sheridan?

Then which is the top and which is the bottom?

I'll start with Anora. It's not a god awful movie but I don't think it's Oscar worthy. The second half is boring and all over the place and I think Mikey Madison is kind of one-note.

That belt is not doing Brianna any favors.

If God is just, Timmy’s Oscar win at Academy Awards ceremony will wipe the tears from Simone’s face.

Because TIMMY winning long overdue Oscar is better than shelter

Reality Bites. Although it makes sense that the closest thing gen x has to a defining movie moment is a lazy directionless waste of potential

Jeff Bridges & Candy Spelling Lose Homes in Los Angeles Wildfires

Candy Spelling is also reeling from the tragedy after losing her home on Malibu's Pacific Coast Highway. Candy tells TMZ ... "I’m in shock and processing this massive loss for our family. I am beyond grateful for the memories. It was truly a wonderful gift to have."

Candy told us her late husband, mega TV/film producer Aaron Spelling, loved the house. Last year, Spelling listed the home for sale for $24 million, but later took it off the market.

What are some of your favourite YouTube channels? Lately I love watching this couples road trip videos. They’re non political unlike some and I actually learn a lot.

Eric Balfour, Ted McGinley, and Olivia Wilde all ruin any project they’re in, like vampires sucking the life away.

I think I have this right-1944’’Mr Skeffington’’ the little daughter was child actress Sylvia Arslan now Sylvia Boyd-age 92. After a lifetime of selling Tupperware world wide she became Deacon of Palisades Presbyterian Church which has burned down. Sylvia was know as the ‘’Armenian Shirley Temple’’ 1941-1946

From her official Facebook page, Streisand shares this message:

[quote]I know the fear and anxiety of evacuations and waiting to see what happens to your home in natural disasters. Some of my dear friends and colleagues have now lost their homes. I am grateful for their lives and the incredibly brave work of the LAFD. But my heart breaks for all my neighbors and our beloved city.

I’m the s’mores.

Some people are such snobs.

Are they getting more shapely and plump? Or is it my imagination?

I am "about" 60. In my youth, I never paid much attention to asses. They all pretty much looked alike. Now, I catch myself staring several times a day.

Is it because these young studs work out nowadays?

This movie has everything:

Hot piece Taron Egerton as the hero!

Jason Bateman as the bitchiest, campiest villain since Hans Gruber!

A brilliant, sassy Black lady who’s HBIC!

A hot gay couple!

Big-bellied Dean Norris!

With special appearance by Logan Marshall-Green, aka Temu Tom Hardy.

I have fallen in love with the British sitcom Big School about a British school full of dumb students and even dumber teachers, starring David Walliams, Catherine Tate, and the inimitable Frances de la Tour. de la Tour is priceless as the evil headmistress who smokes all the dope & drinks all the booze they confiscate from the students in her school office and treats everyone like shit. Philip Glenister who plays the always horny PE teacher Mr. Gunn is hilarious.

Only 2 seasons (2013-14) were made sadly. Check it out on Peacock.

I can't wait to miss it, and not watch it!

With the right-wing bullying amped up these days, I’m reminded of the bully Anita Bryant.

I’ve always wondered if she is deeply closeted.

Let's discuss the actress Jeanne Tripplehorn

She is one of my favorites. Basic Instinct, The Firm, Waterworld, Reality Bites, Big Love, Grey Gardens, Mrs. America, Little Pink House, Gloria Bell, The Gilded Age, and The Terminal List.

She is not in a lot of movies or television, but she has aged like fine wine and can always be counted upon.

Fuck the USAa

karen pence snubs cheetolini

First off, sorry for the shitty link to the shitty RWNJ post but it was in my "For You" feed (thanks Leon!) but I just wanted to pint how ridiculous she is acting.

"Can I hear your call" to the fucking POTUS.

"Because I don't believe it."

"I want to be here when you call the President." Bitch, you ain't special. Fuck off.

"Governor, please tell me what are you going to do with the President RIGHT NOW." Well fuckface, first we'll call up Samantha Stevens, Jeannie Nelson and those skanks up in Frisco who own that dance club to magically make everything as it was before. Should take all of about 3 minutes. Satisfied?

"I would fill up the hydrants myself!" Well quit yer yappin' and get to fillin'! You seem to have a plan.

"BUT YOUR'RE NOT! There is water dripping over there...you can use it!" Yes a drip could totally put out all the fires in Palisades.

Seriously, I fucking hate people like this! Cunt, YOU ARE NOT IMPORTANT!

This man was incredible in this film. I felt like I was watching the birth of a movie star. He was so ridiculously charming in this film. He doesn’t have any huge scenes or anything like that, his performance is very subtle and nuanced and poignant. His performance is absolutely wonderful. What a lovely performance, and he is so attractive in this film. I was actually shocked by how much I loved him. By the end of the film, I had a little crush on him lol.

His very first scene, I literally couldn’t keep my eyes off of him. Your eyes just stay attached to him in everything that he’s in.

As for the film, it is broken down into three chapters. Chapters one and two are great, but chapter 3 is a mess. Well, not necessarily a mess, but it is strange beyond belief. I am left with questions. It is a very sad and heartbreaking film of crippling loneliness.

Detatched single family homes in the Palisades are now a liability. But the wealthy still want views of the mountains and Pacific Ocean.

The solution? Le Corbusier. Glass and steel high rises, evenly spaced, rising from landscaped parkland. This is what will be built on the razed flats of Pacific Palisades.

I miss him being in the limelight. I need another NERD album. Beautiful bloke.

La legend and FoP.

The high court on Thursday rejected Trump’s emergency request to delay the proceeding, setting the stage for him to be sentenced just days before he is inaugurated on January 20 for a second term.

Four conservative justices – Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh – said they would have granted Trump’s request. Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Amy Coney Barrett joined the court’s three liberals to side against Trump.

The sentence will be minimal and mostly symbolic, but it will draw the case to a conclusion by which Trump can truly be called a CONVICTED FELON.

and now he is dead.

Man Dies After Using Industrial Adhesive as Contraceptive

Wasserman faced fierce backlash from people he described as “trolls” for the request and later confirmed he and his family had already fled, but he was concerned for his home. a mere three months ago, Cyber Truck owner Wasserman begged president-elect Donald Trump to cut taxes.

"Homeboy went from 'Real estate ballers don’t pay taxes' to 'will pay anything for private firefighters' real quick," one user wrote in a Threads post.

What an amazing and underrated film!

Nicole Kidman is superb, and Fionnaula Flanagan's character, Mrs. Mills, is deliciously foreboding throughout!

I wish I were a ghost servant working in a desolate, mist covered chateau!

5-4 vote.

Thriller movie that will also feature nepo baby Saleka Shyamalan in the role of a singer.

Is it possible there will be a twist involving nepo babies in the movie's plot?

He's a dim bulb but great body. I bet he's a great piece of ass.

Make your suggestions with performers from any era.

Through the terrifying magic of AI, it will all soon be possible.

Reality rears its ugly head…

Musk’s lowered estimate is a significant downgrade from his earlier view. At a rally for Trump at Madison Square Garden in New York on Oct. 27, Musk said he’d be able to cut the federal budget by “at least $2 trillion.”

That figure was quickly dismissed as implausible by budget experts, who said the entire discretionary budget was only $1.7 trillion. Musk hadn’t waved people off the number until Wednesday, and it has been widely cited in reports about DOGE’s plans.

Sally won her second Oscar for this, beating out Sissy and Jessica for their more modern farm films.

Is she better here or in Norma Rae?

It is a very well rounded film - the editing, writing, production and costume design, and a very memorable ending.

I feel like I’m walking around with a ball of anger, all the time in my stomach. I have this deep desire to get revenge on those who have made my life hell, like start rumors about them and ruin their reputation like they did mine etc. How do I get over this?

This is the stupid fuck who brought a gun into Comet Ping Pong Pizza because he believed the "pizzagate" lunacy

Between this and Anita Bryant's death, the good news continues!

Fool

Courtney Ford is cutting the cord on her marriage ... filing for divorce from her actor husband famous for playing Clark Kent.

The "Dexter" star beelined it to court Wednesday and filed to divorce "Superman Returns" star Brandon Routh after over 17 years of marriage.

In the docs, obtained by TMZ, Courtney is going with the boilerplate "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the split ... and she does not give a date of separation.

Courtney and Brandon have one minor child together, 12-year-old son Leo ... and she's seeking joint legal and physical custody.

Courtney's seeking spousal support and she checked the box to terminate the court's ability to award Brandon spousal support.

The estranged Hollywood couple got hitched way back in 2007 at El Capitan Ranch in Santa Barbara ... they dated for three years before he popped the question in 2006, so they were together for well over 2 decades.

Whenever could they have discussed?

There I said it. I like blow jobs ( receiving) and fucking ( I'm a top) I've never had what could be described as GREAT sex but I've had good sex. I've had some great masturbation/orgasm/ejaculations over something on my computer over the years but once in a while I like actual sex with another guy. It's very difficult for actual sex to meet with your expectations created from what one sees on the internet but in real life I am satisfied with far less than what my sexual fantasies are.

Yikes.

I'm the beautiful front grand steps and columns designed by Cass Gilbert

One of the best films of the 1990's...

After dramatically crying about the Palisades fire, our Jamie Lee turns her attention to her Oscar-winning performance in EEAAO, describing a reception where Questlove told her, "Dust off your mantel."

[bold]"And you know how Leonard Cohen said 'Let your light in'? That's what you did. You let me let my light in.'"[/bold]

Fire forgotten as soon as Jamie Lee can turn the subject back to her favorite topic: herself!

I can only imagine Lisa Kudrow taking notes in case of a third season of "The Comeback."

Bette Davis disagrees.

Was at a work going-away party last night where my departing colleague came out as a member of a throuple. He's mid-30s, divorced from a traditional marriage a couple years ago, and he showed up with a woman he introduced as his "partner, and this is her husband," who was also in tow. He's leaving because the three of them are relocating together to a new city, and will be living together.

When we first started working together a decade ago, I guess I sensed some kind of lowkey bi energy. But this still surprised me. But maybe that's not even what relationships like this are about. What are the typical sexual dynamics in a relationship like this?

Sad and dark, and the role of a lifetime for Miss Pam.

Jamie Lee is barely recognizable.

I knew it! That’s how he gets these people. Just offer lunch and a time share!

Were they even invited? Jimmy Carter hated him!

Well, okay then.

Soul Man

The ladies partying at a drag show is quite appropriate considering most of them style themselves as such 🤣

Ashley is STILL married to Michael??? Candyass still wants to rip her head off

Robyn is a sad case, holding on to that asshole Juan who continues to treat her like garbage

Wendy must be infuriated that the new housewife is a low rent version of herself, but Bravo wouldn't have it any other way!

Continue discussion here.

…. that features heroic Dataloungers who find and return a $160 million de Kooning cut from its frame and hung on the backside of a bedroom door for 30 years.

Why is this movie so underrated?

Find this neighborhood north of Palisades Village on Google Streetview, and go up and down the street level view.

Everything you see is now gone.

Would you post a picture of it here?

Lard Channel are taking a long break so Junkie Niko can go to rehab. Greasy Niall is still rotund and has just finished a 90 date world tour. 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!

I say give them to Tokyo. They built the infrastructure and had a shitty games no one attended. Los Angeles can host in 2036.

Trump voters are about to get what they deserve.

YES!!!

AI pictures are terrible. AI summaries for everything from Amazon reviews to my emails are useless. AI chat with businesses fortune in circles.

While I’ve asked AI to create itineraries for vacation, it does an okay job but is so vague that it’s generally useless.

Anyone have any good experiences with AI?

Codepink explains how at the link. Dem. Rep. Richie Torres pushed back on this notion and codePink got upset at him about it.

It looks like the only thing not on fire in Los Angeles is the Clippers. *rimshot*

ten to one flash is ftm.

Who is the biggest cum whore?

What kind of washing machine do you think Ben Affleck uses?

My heart bleeds for him, is there anything worse in the whole world than an actor caught in a dry spell? Remember all those WHET threads on DL over the years? Well now he's back, for better or worse.

He does look good, though. Subtly refreshed.

Fires, fires, fires. This total decimation talk is spoiling the fun at every website I've read this week. I get so bored I could scream.

And it was RFK Jr committing it!

Since our former "Heartstopper" stans have thankfully departed, I'm hoping I can get an actual answer to this question. It was VERY obvious that Connor had a massive crush on Bash when he was still dating Joe Locke, and I guess they met via some sort of "gay Netflix actor group chat" or something – all before "Heartstopper" even premiered. I stopped following all of them for a while, but then I went back on IG and started noticing Connor showing up repeatedly on Bash's stories, and vice-versa. Connor's still in Toronto, but has flown to London at LEAST three times this year to "hang" with Bash.

Am I missing something here? Who on EARTH flies to the UK three times in a single year just to "hang out with a friend," particularly if they're not wealthy? (And Connor hasn't had a paying job since "Locke & Key" ended several years ago.) Are they fucking on the DL like Bash & Joe were?

Connor's now a geriatric gay (he turned 30 this year), but seems to hang out exclusively with twinks under 22. I'm not sure what's sadder: him flying 3,000 miles just to get some ass, despite living in one of the most gay-friendly cities in the world, or him obsessing like a teenage girl on his "crush."

Gone up too soon?

I loved it. Jean Seberg is perfection.

Will he volunteer to go fight on the front lines?

They say you learn more from failure than success. If so, this is the story for you: MIT Technology Review’s annual roll call of the biggest flops, flimflams, and fiascos in all domains of technology.

Some of the foul-ups were funny, like the "woke” AI which got Google in trouble after it drew Black Nazis. Some caused lawsuits, like a computer error by CrowdStrike that left thousands of Delta passengers stranded. We also reaped failures among startups that raced to expand from 2020 to 2022, a period of ultra-low interest rates. But then the economic winds shifted. Money wasn’t free anymore. The result? Bankruptcy and dissolution for companies whose ambitious technological projects, from vertical farms to carbon credits, hadn’t yet turned a profit and might never do so. Read on.

Bette Davis Eyes was a huge smash. Why didn't she catch on?

She was one of the few sources of continuity and stability left in this world. I would be looking forward to her Christmas message right about now.

I could only fit 10.

Others I might include here would be:

Anne Baxter Dorothy Malone Shelley Winters Claire Trevor Ida Lupino Betsy Blair Virginia Mayo Margaret Lockwood Ruth Roman Patricia Neal Jean Simmons

I must confess, I am, in fact, deeply displeased by the attention these young creatures are receiving. It is all so tiresome, so utterly tiresome, to watch the masses fawn over these pretentious little upstarts who, let’s face it, offer nothing more than a pretty face and a lot of fuss. But, alas, I digress.

Let us take, for example, Zendaya, that "darling" of the fashion world, who, I gather, has somehow managed to ensnare the affections of not one, but a plethora of handsome young men—ones whose attention, frankly, I might rather keep for myself, if I may be so bold. Oh yes, I’ve noticed. There she is, strutting about on arm after arm of the most dashing young men—men with jawlines sharp enough to cut glass, and smiles so dazzling one might mistake them for Greek gods. One can scarcely blame them, though, for falling for her. After all, youth and beauty, when combined with a dash of charm and a well-styled ensemble, are a powerful concoction, one that leaves little room for reason. But mark my words, she will eventually tire of these men, as youth always does, and will find herself, one day, clutching at her "style" while watching others step into the spotlight. Good riddance, I say. Good riddance to that fleeting beauty and the way it captures every handsome face in sight.

And, of course, one cannot escape Nicole Kidman, who has found herself in the arms of handsome men for decades. As for her beauty—well, let’s just say it’s nothing short of artificial. She looks as though she’s been sealed in a cryogenic chamber for the last two decades. If one were to study her facial expression, I dare say one would find it to be the same, regardless of the scene. The woman has had so much work done, she could be mistaken for a life-sized doll—and, not the good kind, mind you. A little lift here, a little tuck there, and suddenly she’s a “timeless beauty”? Ridiculous. It’s not beauty, darling, it’s what one might call the illusion of it.

How she must enjoy the attention—the adoration of these statuesque, chiseled hunks, who seem to appear wherever she glides through a room. You know the type I mean, don’t you? Tall, broad-shouldered, and completely convinced that their mere proximity to such beauty will somehow elevate their status. But here’s where my jealousy, my dear, begins to rear its ugly head. It is all very well to witness Nicole receiving this undying admiration, but why not me? What am I doing wrong? My dear, I have spent a good portion of my life surrounded by good books, refined conversation, and well-crafted plays—not this drivel. Yet, I find myself left to dust my knick-knacks in peace while these so-called ladies parade about with handsome men trailing behind them like puppies, their eyes locked on their every move as if some invisible force were pulling them in. Oh, how utterly frustrating, my dear. I daresay I would trade a bit of my collected wisdom for a taste of such attention.

But, no matter. It is no use to wallow in jealousy, is it? After all, I’ve had sufficient of these young women and their fleeting beauty. They shall soon fade, as all things do, and I shall remain—steadfast, poised, and above the fray. Yes, I may envy their handsome suitors from time to time, but I deeply know that there is more to life than empty adulation. I know better.

Natalie Wood was miscast and practically ruined the movie. She wasn't believable. The film was so far ahead of its time thanks to Jerry Robbins and his choreography, but the casting was wrong. The Jets with their bleached blonde hair at least could dance and had amazing asses. (The first thing I noticed as a young gay kid when I saw it on screen.) The songs were inspired and beautifully arranged.

My question: Who would have been an ideal, or at least a better, Maria?

I’m screaming “ALL HAIL THE GREAT JOAN CRAWFORD AND HER GLORIOUS MAGNIFICENCE!”.

Even if it is only for a few days, I want to see all the 45-47 grifter merchandise worthless.

I’m screaming “GET UP! GET UP! CLEAN UP THIS MESS!” after emptying Tina’s closet.

”Gulf of America”.

Talented actor and very handsome man. I had no idea he was a recovered heroin addict.

Was it realistic that Elio’s intellectual parents were so accepting of his homosexuality and just generally how they behaved in the film. At certain times they almost played matchmaker lol. Timothy’s tears at the end deserved an Oscar. I’ve been there before.

Chase Chrisley: Alleged Suspect In Bar Assault

According to a police report, obtained by TMZ, officers responded to a 911 call at Twin Peaks Sports Bar around 7:30 PM on Monday. When officers arrived, Chrisley had already left but the alleged victim, the bar’s general manager, claims he was assaulted by the reality TV star during a heated encounter inside the restaurant.

The manager told cops Chrisley became "really drunk" and began acting "disrespectful and belligerent" while inside. The manager claims he asked CC multiple times to leave the property, but Chrisley allegedly refused and his behavior escalated. Minutes later, Chrisley allegedly slapped the manager in the face twice.

The manager told police he had no injuries and refused medical attention, however, he did file a police report which names Chrisley as the suspect for "simple assault." In fact, the report states the manager told cops, "one of his employees told him that Mr. Crisley is a well known celebrity."

The incident marks the latest controversy for the Chrisley family. Chase's parents, Todd and Julie, are currently serving time in federal prison for tax evasion and fraud convictions.

We've reached out to Chase's rep for comment ... so far, no word back.

The tattooist couldn't talk them out of it, but convinced them to get an American flag on the little girl's bicep instead. Apparently in Arizona you can get a tattoo at any age with parental permission because AMERICA.

I would say it was best it remained unaired. She was completely unknown until she appeared on Too Close For Comfort in 1980 a show that was itself mediocre.

She responds by blaming Democrats.
