The Prime Minister of my country, New Zealand, follows me on twitter. As does a radio/tv presenter.

On Instagram one of the most well known of the radio personalities in NZ follows me and we often have a wee chat. Oh and one of the Bondi Lifeguards follows me there too.

Wbu?

Actor Pua Magasiva was found dead in New Zealand on Saturday. He was 38 years old.

Magasiva was best known for playing the Red Wind Ranger Shane Clarke on "Power Rangers Ninja Storm" that aired in 2003 and nurse Vinnie on the drama "Shortland Street" in his home country from 2003–2006 and again from 2011–2018.

Police were reportedly called to a home in Wellington in the early morning hours, and Magasiva was found unresponsive, according to the New Zealand Herald.

According to the paper, a police spokesperson said there were "no suspicious circumstances surrounding his death."

Magasiva was born in Samoa but raised in New Zealand. He was married to wife Lizz Sadler for just one year and has a 7-year-old daughter, Jasmine, from his first marriage.

The actor also hosted a breakfast show on NZME radio but left last year. The company's chief executive Michael Boggs said about Magasiva's passing: "It is with deep sadness that the NZME family has today been told of the sudden death of Pua Magasiva. At this incredibly difficult time our thoughts, prayers and condolences go to Pua's family, friends and his many colleagues. For us at NZME, Pua was a loved member of our radio team at Flava. We've been in touch with Pua's former work mates and are offering them support".

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

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

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

What are some porn videos/porn performers that are more sad than hot? Case in point Rocco Steele and Dirk Caber starring in Old Poz White Guys Barebacking Young Black Dudes.

Dr. Jill Biden urges voters to consider her husband's electability, saying: "your candidate might be better on, I don’t know, healthcare than Joe is, but you’ve got to look at who’s going to win this election."

Continue here I guess.

Let's all chip in on DL and buy Norway.

Yesterday, I learned that someone I once knew, committed suicide. His name was Isaac Kappy.

When Isaac and his girlfriend moved to Los Angeles from New Mexico, they looked like a typical Silverlake, hipster couple. He seemed to be completely normal. He was highly intelligent, well spoken, confident, funny, & under all of it, a sweet guy.

What I, and others in his circle of friends did not know at that particular time, is that Isaac was a person who suffered from Bipolar II - Schizoaffective Disorders.

Like many who suffer from these disorders, Isaac was resistant to taking the medications that were required in order to function. I have been told by several people who either take the medications themselves, or who work in mental health and/or addiction treatment centers, that it’s REALLY common for people to resist treatment. From what I understand, the medications make them feel like zombies Apparently, once medicated, they’re unable to feel a spectrum of emotions, such as joy. While they’re experiencing the illness without pharmacological intervention, there is an organic, chemical component that occurs within their brains, which temporarily allow them to feel euphoric, invincible and “high”, before they inevitably crash into extreme lows of depression & even despair. It’s a cycle which they go through, and everyone who is afflicted with Bipolar II -Schizaffective Disorders, experiences various lengths of this cycle, with different levels of the highs/lows, or mood disorders.

Several years back, Isaac started to slowly withdraw from others. Instead of writing & playing music (which he loved), he spent more and more time in front of his computer. He had supported Barack Obama, and now that a new election cycle was imminent, he eagerly supported Bernie Sanders, as many millennials & younger gen-exers in Los Angeles did. No big deal. All was well.

However, all was not well. Isaac in particular, was not well, & he was EXCELLENT at hiding it.

Part II - Continued below.

Be honest.

I am proud of who I am.

I am not suicidal, but the suffocating awareness of my crushing student loan debt that has ballooned beyond my ability to ever pay it off makes me incredibly anxious and depressed.

Due to health issues and underemployment due to the 2008 recession, the feeling of hopelessness and knowing I will die deep in debt and unable to achieve any sense of financial solvency (or have the ability to save money or get ahead in life) is so depressing.

Even the income based repayment plan is a struggle each month as rent and cost of living just gets higher and higher and wages remain stagnant. I can’t save more for retirement because of it. I hate all the suggestions for help online because they are all complete bullshit. It’s the financial equivalent of having stage 4 cancer. There are no real solutions. Only death.

I am his gross knock knees that make his thunder thighs look even uglier. I make his thighs rub together, which is gross and off putting.

James Woods, I know he's hated around here but he had lots of epic roles in the 80s and 90s

Bill Murray

Steve Martin

Danny Trejo

If Brexit comes....

That is all.

He's getting the same fat face and tiny round mouth.

If you realize that Darcey is a gay man trapped in a woman's body, she will not be as annoying. Otherwise, she is a pathetic loser--willing to make a jackass out of herself on national tv by looking for unattainable men in foreign countries. The amount of time she puts into looking younger is beyond superficial. A sad example of an independent woman.

What's cheap I could whip-up (I don't want to waste time or money)?

Who will have a soggy bottom?

Who are some of the hottest porn stars that have passed away that are not Joey Stefano?

I just discovered Lee Ryder, and I just read he died back in 1991. Sad.

He was a beauty....

Another one of those porn guys whose back stories fascinate me.

No tattoos, no overly trendy hairstyles, no regional/working class accent. Seems well-educated in interviews.

Very handsome and huge cock, though he's more a vers bottom than a top.

Anyone know what his story is and how he came to be doing porn?

It's really good. She's like a DLer.

The "very good-looking" fuckbuddy isn't that hot, though.

She's self-destructive, makes huge mistakes, but is also surrounded by sociopaths who've done their part to make things shitty.

I like to think it’s just one person who obsessively proofreads DL and contributes nothing else to the conversation. I know it’s the collective board members. Neither way it makes me laugh

I could watch this man for days. Here's Paul Joseph Watson's interview of Youtuber "Angry Foreigner" about Swedish immigration:

I worked in marketing for a design firm that has recently been slowing down in terms of work. I just was let go on Wednesday with a decent severance because they want to get someone in with more development experience. Staff is shocked and upset that I was let go - never a bad personnel report, never did less than a stellar job. Truth be told, I was looking to make a move and maybe they found out? In any case, they beat me to the punch.

Now i'm in that terrible position of looking for a new job without being currently employed. My partner is being very supportive and the severance is basically two months worth of salary. Really trying not to be depressed and as a long-time DLer i'm hoping you bitches can offer some support.

Going by the fact they have sex dressed as animals and use sex toys made to look like animal genitalia and literally fuck stuffed animals fitted with Fleshjacks and dildos it sure seems like it.

Carry on

Influencers after Dark.

"About a year in, the site started to gain traction among influencers. Stokely can't pinpoint the exact spark, but OnlyFans is “a far simpler and more lucrative way to monetize influence” than negotiating promotional agreements, he tells me. The site's unofficial motto is “Make your influence pay,” and it currently has 70,000 creators uploading content for some 7.5 million registered users; 25,000 new users sign up daily."

BITCHES, PLEASE!!!!

You aren't fooling ANYONE, ladies.

I have no idea who he is. Just learned about him from the "father-son threesome" thread.

This guy is a HOT MESS!

[quote] Siffredi had a three-year relationship with the actress Louise Germaine. He is married to Rosa Caracciolo (born Rózsa Tassi), a Hungarian model whom he met in 1993 in Cannes and with whom he performed two years later in Tarzan X: Shame of Jane. Together they have two sons, Lorenzo and Leonardo. During his initial retirement starting 2004, Siffredi battled sex addiction and disappeared from home for days to have sex; including with prostitutes, older women, transgender women, and men. Upon his decision to return to on-screen pornographic performance in 2009, Siffredi recounted, "I spoke with my wife and she said it's my problem only, it doesn't belong to her and the boys. And she said, 'You decided to stop; we never asked you. So if you want to go back, just go back". However, after a long period of intensive performing, with much time away from his home in Italy, Siffredi announced his retirement again in 2015 for the sake of his marriage. "Today I can see, my wife, she is the top priority", he said in a press statement. "She deserves to have what she wanted from day one, to be with only me without sharing with other girls". Caracciolo told the press, "I know him very well and I love him for who and what he is. Let's see what the new version of him will be like".

[quote] Siffredi discussed his personal life on the reality television show L'Isola dei Famosi (Celebrity Island). Speaking of his sexuality, Siffredi discussed his sex addiction as emerging from "some kind of devil in me" and spoke of himself, "It sometimes sends me out of my mind". He discussed asking God for intervention from the spirit of his mother, whose photograph he always carries.

I find him fascinating. Please tell me more!

Carry on.

What do you like? Twink, muscular, fit-fat, daddy? Type of butt? Do you care particularly about chests or arms or feet? Age? Glasses? Facial hair or none? Body hair--a little, a lot, or none? etc.

If you do provide a picture, please also use words to describe what you like.

Finally: I am asking about the kind of man you are attracted to for the purposes of a hook-up, not husband material.

I'm the dingooo that ate your baybee!

Because PR guru Latham thought Elton wasn't enough, I guess.

Well, of course, if you're named "cheryl".

Choo-choo gone ...

The subtle signs... the ones who are too embarrassed to admit they were hoodwinked. How can you tell?

LPSG has a video of him with his butt hanging out at convention.

See if CNN picks up story.

I have to open a third thread now as I'm locked out of Part B too. oh well

Anyway so we see a bunch of #NextGen struggling at the moment to find momentum. Some of the guys who have shown the most promise are now losing to non-top players. A. Zverev had 20 double faults in his loss today

I really hope we're not on track for another big 3 Cincinnati and USO domination scenario.

Now!

Are You the One? is about to make history when it returns to MTV.

The long-running dating program, which will premiere on June 26, is the first series in the United States to feature a sexually fluid cast. The show's signature format -- singles heading off to paradise in hopes of discovering their "perfect match" and splitting a $1 million prize if they find each other over the course of 10 weeks -- remains. But there's one difference from previous installments: All the participants this season identify as sexually fluid, meaning there are no gender limitations when it comes to their PM. Finding love is fair game -- so come one, come all.

I kinda of feel bad for them. Yes, they made poor choices, but being that much in debt seems rather hopeless.

They really got torn apart in the comments.

Watching this very funny interchange between them on their show in 1981, right after Charles and Diana's royal wedding, reminds me of how much they used to adore each other. She was his very favorite of all his guests (just like Judy Garland was for Jack Paar and Teri Garr was for David Letterman), and could make him laugh harder than anyone else.

We all know what happened, though--the network expected him to retire in 1987, and she discovered (she said) that she was not on NBC's list as a possible contender to replace him. She went ahead and accepted to do her own late night talk show with Fox in 1986, and hew as furious and never spoke to her again--not because she dared to compete directly with him, he said, but because she did not tell him he was doing this and he had to find out through the newspapers.

M, For the Love of God.

The wacky lovable older brother we never thought we needed. <3 but here he is trashing Trump and calling him a racist on national tv.

Dems better recognize !! He's an asset.

For our secondary/vacation retirement home, we're looking at Orcas Island and San Juan Island WA, and Salt Spring Island, BC. We can spend up to $1M. On the water.

For this discussion's sake, Northern California - anywhere above the Napa/Sonoma or thereabouts - qualifies. Let's all be open-minded here, geographically.

Ideally, we'd find a place that's a little more sleepy than the big tourist spots. We like a little peace and quiet and a little nature. Light hiking, walking, kayaking (hence my name) and beach combing.

We don't mind a fixer-upper because I'm difficult and will want to rip everything out anyway.

Well?

If you swim in pools you swim in pee. That's just life.

"A study at the University of Alberta, in fact, concluded that an Olympic-sized swimming pool was likely to contain about 225 liters of urine.

Which sounds like, to quote another of Sandler’s films, a shitload of piss. But, in a swimming pool, is it? The urine content of even the most urine-heavy of pools is, percentage-wise, minute. Those 225 liters of aforementioned urine are surrounded by enough water that the actual piss mass is less than one thousandth of one percent of the pool volume, meaning any pee-seeking dye would have its work cut out for it."

Here are just 38 of the Americanisms it seems the British public really can’t stand.

1. When people ask for something, I often hear: “Can I get a . . .” It infuriates me. It’s not New York. It’s not the ’90s. You’re not in Central Perk with the rest of the Friends. Really.

2. The next time someone tells you something is the “least worst option,” tell them that their most best option is learning grammar.

3. The phrase I’ve watched seep into the language (especially with broadcasters) is “two-time” and “three-time.” Have the words double, triple, etc., been totally lost?

4. Using 24/7 rather than “24 hours, 7 days a week” or even just plain “all day, every day.”

5. The one I can’t stand is “deplane,” meaning to disembark an aircraft, used in the phrase “you will be able to deplane momentarily.”

6. “Touch base”—it makes me cringe no end.

7. Is “physicality” a real word?

8. Transportation. What’s wrong with transport?

9. Does nobody celebrate a birthday any more, must we all “turn” 12 or 21 or 40?

10. What kind of word is “gotten”? It makes me shudder.

11. “I’m good” for “I’m well.” That’ll do for a start.

12. “Bangs” for a fringe of the hair.

13. Takeout rather than takeaway!

14. “A half hour” instead of “half an hour.”

15. A “heads up.” For example, as in a business meeting—Let’s do a “heads up” on this issue. I have never been sure of the meaning.

16. To put a list into alphabetical order is to “alphabetize it”—horrid!

17. People that say “my bad” after a mistake. I don’t know how anything could be as annoying or lazy as that.

18. “Normalcy” instead of “normality” really irritates me.

19. Eaterie. To use a prevalent phrase, oh my gaad!

20. I’m a Brit living in New York. The one that always gets me is the American need to use the word bi-weekly when fortnightly would suffice just fine.

21. I hate “alternate” for “alternative.” I don’t like this as they are two distinct words, both have distinct meanings and it’s useful to have both. Using “alternate” for “alternative” deprives us of a word.

22. “Hike” a price. Does that mean people who do that are hikers? No, hikers are ramblers!

23. Going forward? If I do I shall collide with my keyboard.

24. The most annoying Americanism is “a million and a half” when it is clearly one and a half million! A million and a half is 1,000,000.5, where one and a half million is 1,500,000.

25. “Reach out to” when the correct word is “ask.” For example: “I will reach out to Kevin and let you know if that timing is convenient.” Reach out? Is Kevin stuck in quicksand? Is he teetering on the edge of a cliff? Can’t we just ask him?

26. I hate the fact I now have to order a “regular Americano.” What ever happened to a medium-sized coffee?

27. My worst horror is expiration, as in “expiration date.” Whatever happened to expiry?

28. I am increasingly hearing the phrase “that’ll learn you”—when the English (and more correct) version was always “that’ll teach you.” What a ridiculous phrase!

29. I really hate the phrase “Where’s it at?” This is not more efficient or informative than “Where is it?” It just sounds grotesque and is immensely irritating.

30. My pet hate is “winningest,” used in the context “Michael Schumacher is the winningest driver of all time.” I can feel the rage rising even using it here.

31. My brother now uses the term “season” for a TV series. Hideous.

32. Having an “issue” instead of a “problem.”

33. I hear more and more people pronouncing the letter Z as “zee.” Not happy about it!

34. To “medal” instead of to win a medal. Sets my teeth on edge with a vengeance.

35. “I got it for free” is a pet hate. You got it “free” not “for free.” You don’t get something cheap and say you got it “for cheap” do you?

36. “Turn that off already.” Oh dear.

37. “I could care less” instead of “I couldn’t care less” has to be the worst. Opposite meaning of what they’re trying to say.

38. Dare I even mention the fanny pack?

Those damn Hilton/Richards!

I can't even understand what he's saying, far less imagine how you could follow the signing.

"I've repeatedly sat opposite Owen Jones while in the British Library. Sadly, he has yet to respond to my subtle cruising."

Article suggests it's our fault for using hook-up apps

I understand there may be no legal grounding here, regional age of consent or whatever... ,still, even if no legal recourse, I think that we, as a society, need to look back on jerry Seinfeld (then 38) publicly dating a minor.

Just as we have re-examined social norms of homosexuality, sexual harassment, and others like bill cosby (yes different circumstances and way more severe legal implications), how is it ok that this guy walks around dating children in public in 1999? Was it 1899???

"For now, wild poliovirus is cornered in eastern Afghanistan and western Pakistan, hard-to-access places where vaccination teams are often unwelcome and unsafe. But it is not magically corralled there. Any easing of the pressure on the virus could see a version of what is happening with measles unspool with polioviruses — though on a slower, less visible but still insidious basis."

it's quite interesting, have a quick look.

(NO, I'm NOT trolling/shilling for Joel & Lia - so don't bother leaving me those kinds of messages. TIA.)

The wife of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly had to be restrained by security guards from entering the cockpit of an airborne flight after the pilot failed to mention her during his welcoming message.

Sara Netanyahu was traveling on Israel's national carrier, El Al, with her husband for a two-day visit to Ukraine.

But she was apparently annoyed that the pilot's welcome message excluded her. She demanded to be able to enter the cockpit to make her feelings known, according to Channel 12.

After discussions, the pilot mentioned her in a separate announcement, the channel added.

I am not,nor have ever been a Madonna fan. HOWEVER. I quite like her "voice" and Live To Tell is a MASTERPIECE.

I love the end of the song when you have Madonna's soprano voice layered with her normal voice.

The truth is never far behind, you've kept it hidden well- If I live to TELL... All in the last 60 seconds....

Just beautiful... Love that song... Truly a classic. And she had SOMETHING in her voice. She doesn't get any credit.

Looking at her output over the last 10 years, she really shouldn't have bothered. One bomb after another and now she's in another Fast and Furious, thinking she's cool.

Poor Judi should have won that Oscar. For Notes On A Scandal

I would. Never know what crazy with a gun might do.

The Tatum O'Neal thread got me thinking...I don't think I ever seen a thread on DL on Paper Moon. LOTS of DL-ish things/likes/topics in that film: Tatum O'Neal, Ryan O'Neal, Madeline Kahn, wonderful soundtrack, wonderful cinematography. What think you, my fellow DLers?

The thread that had James Taylor's photo in the original post got me thinking...any DL love for Dan Fogelberg? He wrote some beautiful songs and was kinda handsome (esp, in the photo on the cover of his Twin Sons of Different Mothers album

Get home safe now, ya hear?

She was business up front and party in the back!

MAGA!

The cover blurb teases, “Sex, Psychedelics and the Secrets of Stardom”. It’s his second RS cover in two years.

She has not been on TV or social media for months. Maybe her wife discovered she is gay/has a boyfriend/caught aids perhaps?

Charles Ewing Mackay was the mayor of Wanganui, New Zealand - in 1920 he shot and seriously wounded a writer who had threatened to expose him for being gay. It turned out he had previously sought "treatment" for his sexuality and wound up doing time for attempted murder.

What a time to be a fit white gay male.

Hiding out in a lovely house in Manchester By Sea with her BF who is (almost) "DL Hawt".

I say almost because he has a bit of a tummy, which wouldn't pass the inspection of the Instaho loving gurls of DL. Otherwise he ticks all the boxes. Coloring. Very short hair. Facial hair. It's all there.

Politico reports:

Sen. Elizabeth Warren apologized Monday to a Native American audience over her handling of past claims of native ancestry, telling a group of tribal leaders that she realized it had been a mistake.

“Now, before I go any further in this I want to say this: Like anyone who’s been honest with themselves, I know that I have made mistakes,” Warren, appearing at a forum for presidential candidates, said at the outset of her presentation.

“I am sorry for harm I have caused. I have listened and I have learned a lot. And I am grateful for the many conversations that we’ve had together.”

Does anyone have any interesting news, info or tidbits about him? Is he and Wintour still BFFs?

He's know for being the stupidest out of his siblings so is there little wonder he is such a fuck up?

I’m going to link the ex-cop’s 911 call that was leaked to the judges anger below too.

I just finally got around to watching BREAKING THE WAVES and I swear I haven't laughed this much through a film in a long time.

Von Trier had to know he was making an unintentional comedy, right?

Bess McNeill: God gives everyone something to be good at. I've always been stupid... but I'm good at this.

Another one that gets my vote is, sorry Emily Watson, but ANGELA'S ASHES! Everyone pissing and shitting in pots and then puking their guts up when they empty them. LOL My friend and I saw after we had smoked a few joints while in college and were literally laughing so hard we nearly pissed our pants. We ended up going back a second time because we felt bad for being high and thought we didn't get the seriousness of it but I swear to Christ we laughed even harder the second go around and while sober!

I've always found it strange how some random athletes just become instantly famous. Also their pay is ridiculous. It has always felt to me that these people have to do something more to be paid so much and get so much clout.

He will be playing the title role in "The Invisible Man" for Universal Studios. The old horror movie is being reconfigured for the #MeToo era. Elizabeth Moss will costar.

Usually they're annoying and tedious, but there are some who make me laugh. I don't know why, but "I did not like Heath Ledger in his role of 'Joker'" always cracks me up.

Mariah Carey - thinks she's still a 20-year-old sex kitten

Tom Cruise - thinks he's still the cocky action hero

Who else?

Trump doesn't even break 40% against four of the top Democratic candidates in this latest poll:

Biden - 50%, Trump 38%

Sanders - 48%, Trump 39%

Warren - 46%, Trump 39%

Harris - 45%, Trump 39%

I'm guessing that his latest antics aren't really impressing the voters. It's also bad news for Sanders (and Buttigieg) as he drops in the Democratic primary polling:

Biden - 31%, Warren - 20%, Sanders - 10%, Harris - 8%, everyone else at 3% or lower

Another bit of not-so-good news for Sanders: 60% want to vote for "a candidate who will restore the country and get American politics back to normalcy" vs. 36% who want to vote for "a candidate who will fundamentally change the way things work in Washington." That's not a direct hit against Sanders but I think he is more widely perceived as a "fundamentally change" candidate.

Other tidbits from the poll:

51% have a favorable opinion of the Democratic Party; only 41% for the Republican Party

59% think that Trump is "Tearing the country apart."

60% think that "a mass shooting by an American citizen" is a bigger threat than "a terrorist attack by Islamic terrorists."

46% think that Trump has made the country less safe from a mass shooting. Only 15% think he's made the country safer.

81% of those polled are either "Extremely interested" or "Very interested" in the 2020 election, with 57% in the former category. That's about a third higher than normal for a poll taken at this time in the election cycle.

22% think they are getting ahead in their personal financial situation; 50% are holding steady, so even with decent numbers on "It's the economy, stupid," the voters still want a change.

The poll is a bit of an outlier on several of these numbers so I'm going to want confirmation before getting out the champagne but, if it is corroborated by other polls, this is horrible news for Trump.

Rey dumped Sharon today. Billy Miller is returning to play Billy Abbott again. What else?

This time nine years ago, five teenage boys' dreams were in tatters after being rejected from the X Factor .

But determined not to let a good-looking gang go to waste, show boss Simon Cowell and his genius decided to put solo hopefuls Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson together.

It took the lads just five minutes to agree to his plan and have another crack at the competition - this time in the groups category.

They would go on to be one of the most successful boybands of the century, selling out stadiums and dominating the charts for five years before splitting in an explosion of bitterness and animosity.

But with no experience of harmonies, group singing or even each other, even then Liam wondered what they were really getting into. "We had seen each other at Bootcamp and got on well, and Niall and I had shared a room. But we were competition then, and at the back of the minds we knew were against each other," Liam would later recall.

"So it was strange when we were put together and my first thought was, 'How are we going to make this work when we don't know each other? It was such a leap of faith." Desperate to catch up with the other bands, the newly-formed five-piece spent an intense two intense weeks practising in a bungalow at the bottom of Harry's step-dad's garden in Holmes Chapel, Cheshire.

But contrary to their bright white smiles and boyish banter, their very different personalities were already beginning to show, laying the foundations for the resentment, jealously and anger that would one day cause the group to implode.

"We used to be at each other’s throats on the X Factor," Louis admitted on their This Is Us DVD of his clashes with Liam.

"Whenever I wanted to do anything slightly mischievous, he was always the daddy."

"Me and Louis did not get on at all," Wolverhampton-born Liam agreed. "We were two completely different characters. There was one point where I literally wanted to whack him."

Nevertheless, they sailed through the live shows and came third in the final before scoring a record deal with Cowell, who for them made n exception of only signing the winning act.

A mysterious fall out

By the time they scored their first number one with What Makes You Beautiful in September 2011, Harry and Louis were living as housemates in a rented £3million North London flat in the same block where Ashley Cole and Cheryl once met.

Then suddenly at the start of 2012 they allegedly stopped talking and moved out.

When I think of these other top candidates, i always know why they are running and what they bring to the table

Biden : Best chance to beat Trump and wants to unify the country

Bernie : Make America a democratic socialist country

Warren : Economic justice

Buttigieg : Generational change and voice of industrial midwest

Kamala ; ???

Kyle, why would Phyllis give us a strap on as a wedding gift?

And no killing the mood by posting pictures of how badly they aged.

Dataloungers: I have roughly 800 or so scenes from the old ASG saved, so if you're looking to trade or whatever, I can be reached at the above e-mail address. I also have extensive records of who did scenes with whom and when and that type of stuff, so if you're looking for info or have questions, please ask. I don't have every scene and my knowledge isn't unlimited, but I can probably help in most circumstances.

"Don't count on it Sue Ellen you'll be hearing from me again!"

And yet we never heard or saw from Mandy again. Any word on why? Did Deborah Shelton refuse to return? Did the show get a new boss who dropped the idea?

I wonder how it would have played out if Mandy had of returned for a bitchy battle with Sue Ellen?!😁 I'd have loved to see how it turned out!

GOP lawmaker busted for sexting teen boy now accused of misusing funds for lavish office renovations!

Move over Aaron Schock, there’s a new, totally-not-gay, 100% straight Republican lawmaker accused of misusing public funds to redecorate his office.

Mike Yenni is a local conservative politician from Louisiana. You may remember reading about him this time last year when he was busted for sending x-rated texts to a Catholic school boy. He also bought the teen sexy $75 underpants, encouraged him to send him nude selfies, suggested they have a threesome with another teen boy, and made out with him in a mall bathroom.

Despite admitting to the “improper” behavior, Yenni insisted he’s “not gay” and that he’s is very happily married to his wife and mother of his three children. He also refused to resign from his post as Jefferson Parish President.

(We should note: It’s very likely Yenni was telling the truth when he said he’s “not gay”; his behavior resembles that of a bisexual.)

Now, the 40-year-old lawmaker has a new potential scandal on his hands. He is being criticized for quietly increasing the budget for improving his office by more than 1,600%, raising it from a modest $11,700 to over $200,000. He then had his office remodeled to look like George W. Bush’s Oval Office in the White House, including a starburst rug nearly identical to the one Bush had.

Just had laser gum surgery. I was told to avoid crunchy & spicy foods. No seeds, no nuts. I need to eat nutritious soft food like eggs, yogurt, cottage cheese, ice cream.....

At what point, is genocide justified?

A failed booty call turned into a red alert when a New Jersey woman showed up at the home of man who allegedly texted her for sex at 4 a.m. on Aug. 4, then fell asleep before she arrived.

Intent on having a hot date anyway, Taija Russell, 29, went to a Woodbury, N.J., gas station, bought lighter fluid and a lighter, and started the unidentified caller’s home afire with him inside, according to USA Today.

Upon arriving at the victim’s home, Russell called the man eight times, but he didn’t pick up, according to police. She allegedly texted the man “I see you wanna die" and “You wasted my money to come out here” before the blaze was extinguished.

The victim escaped through a window, but suffered from “burns and smoke inhalation.” Wearing only a T-shirt and covered in soot, he ran to a nearby police station around 4:30 a.m. to get help.

Police said the home and its contents were completely destroyed, though firefighters saved the man’s dog.

Russell was reportedly arrested Tuesday on charges including arson and attempted murder. She was held without bail.

Dicks abound in HBO’s new megachurch satire The Righteous Gemstones. Several of those dicks are metaphorical: The three siblings (series creator Danny McBride, Adam Devine, and Edi Patterson) who make up the heirs to the flashy, globe-spanning, Bible-thumping Gemstone empire are bumbling at their best and selfish to the core. But many more of those dicks are literal: The series is chockablock with cock, with at least one flaccid member (usually human but in one case equine) making an appearance in each of the first six episodes that were made available to critics. In interviews, the cast and crew have boasted about the surfeit of schlongs as part of the show’s balls-to-the-wall appeal—and even as an example of its progressive bona fides. “There is an episode that has about six dicks in it,” Patterson told a Variety reporter last month. “This show is not afraid of anything.” Added Devine: “I’m happy it’s making [male nudity] less taboo, because women have been naked in movies for decades.”

Scarlett Johansson - have thought she was overrated and smug from DAY ONE.

And he doesn’t know what to say. He seems shocked and startled but keeping it cool and calm.

Love her! The sweetest.

From Allegra Huston book "Love Child":

Anjel ran to the man and kissed him, I followed,“This is Ryan,' she said to me, O'Neal: I knew. He was big and broad-chested, with wavy blond hair and lips the same color as his skin. He'd starred in Love Story, When I was in fourth grade in Long Island, The men at the other end were, I found out later, his brother and his coke dealer.

They sloped off northward up the beach—playmates on call, no longer required—when they saw Anjel and me arrive. We took up position closer to Ryan than where they had been, and the incoming fire started. I wasn’t any better at Frisbee—even Frisbee as I knew it—than I was at any other physical activity. I could catch them if they didn't hit my hand too hard—which most of Ryan’s did.

When I threw, the Frisbee either went flinging off wildly or ran out of steam no more than halfway to where Ryan stood.He loped up the beach.”Let’s see you throw.” Without letting go, he demonstrated a few times: the whip of the wrist that launched it into flight.

He didn’t say much, and he didn’t criticize. He took the attitude that nobody except him knew how to throw a Frisbee, and it was his mission to teach the underprivileged. So he was patient and precise..... It didn't surprise me that Anjel was good at it; she was good at everything, I traded with her for the lighter ones, which were easier to throw—and some actually made it to Ryan.

He gave me a nod of approval whenever I threw one well, I felt sporty, coordinated, capable, for the first time in my life, I was with Anjel in her world—and I belonged there.

"He is not someone who used to be a Republican" she said.

Of course, bitch, but Bernie was never a democrat and you voted against Democratic party, in two of the last three elections that Democrats lost.

Yas!

BABAYYY! It's going to be good! Peep the People summary and trailer below!! THEY'RE GOING TO COVER THE MICHAEL DARBY SEXUAL ASSAULT CHARGE!! Crazy Katie is back too!

PEOPLE has the exclusive trailer showing all the drama going down when the Bravo show returns for season 4 later this spring.

Housewives Gizelle Bryant, Karen Huger, Ashley Darby, Robyn Dixon, Monique Samuels and Candiace Dillard Bassett are all back for another round of fun in front of the cameras, joined this year by O.G. Potomac Housewife Katie Rost — who returns in the Friend of the Housewives role.

Of course, life in Maryland’s most affluent neighborhood isn’t all cherry blossoms.

Driving a chunk of the drama are the sexual assault claims against Ashley’s husband Michael Darby, which made headlines back in September when a Bravo cameraman accused Michael of “grabbing and groping” his butt while filming.

Both Ashley and Michael denied the alleged incident ever took place, and the Montgomery County State Attorney’s office dropped the charges of felony assault and misdemeanor improper sexual conduct against Michael in October. But the Potomac Housewives still appear to think he’s guilty.

“Michael likes big butts, I cannot lie,” Bryant quips in the trailer.

“Karma is a bitch, honey,” Huger tells Ashley, after implying that Michael might be going to jail. “Clankity clank. The bar of soap? You might want to help your husband.” Dillard also seems to disagree with Ashley’s assertion that “it did not happen.” In one of the trailer’s most heated scenes, she and Ashley get into an massive fight.

Though Samuels is pregnant (she welcomed her son Chase in November), she’s still fighting with Bryant, and appears to have found a new foe with Dillard.

“I’ll drag you, pregnancy and all,” Samuels yells at Dillard.

“Oh you’re going to drag me now?” Dillard asks. “You lying,” Dillard says, holding a knife Ashley’s way. “You putting out bulls—!”

“You better get that f–ing knife out of my m———— face,” Ashley says back.

That’s not the only reason people are talking about Ashley and Michael. The couple — who separated for six months between the show’s second and third season, amid a handful of arguments surrounding the running of their restaurant, a miscarriage.

Things are going little bit better with Robyn and her ex-husband Juan Dixon, who appear to be having sex again “like bunny rabbits.” Does that mean they’re ready to make things official? Robyn asks the same question. “At this point it’s like, what do we want?” she wonders.

Bryant has an opinion on that. She appears to tell Robyn in the trailer she’s “looking stupid,’ a comment Robyn doesn’t seem to like. “You’re an insensitive ass bitch,” she says in the trailer.

Huger is still mourning the loss of her two parents while working on the launch of her perfume bottle, while Bryant is focusing on mending old friendships — including one with Rost — before her book launch.

The Real Housewives of Potomac season 4 premieres May 5 (9 p.m. ET) on Bravo. Starting May 19, the series moves to its permanent timeslot at 8 p.m. ET.

I love the music of this era.

Post your faves.

Sad.

It was the May-December romance that shocked the demimondaine of New York's Upper West Side and the few in Hollywood who knew of their clandestine heated passion. What do we know?

As Jerry O'Donnell tries to succeed this week hosting his own show, it's important to remember that for every Ricki Lake or Ellen DeGeneres who tried to parlay her fame into talk show hosting and was hugely successful, there was a fat chick from Wilson Phillips who crashed and burned.

Who were the most unlikely celebs to be given talk shows that ultimately failed?

Based on his Calvin Klein ad I’d say either a 3.5-4” cock or a hormone-engorged clit.

What say you?

It will focus on the Atlanta Child Murders. I hope they fired the actress who played Holden's gf.

[quote]The idea of the U.S. purchasing Greenland has captured the former real-estate developer’s imagination, according to people familiar with the discussions, who said Trump has, with varying degrees of seriousness, repeatedly expressed interest in buying the ice-covered autonomous Danish territory between the North Atlantic and Arctic oceans.

[quote]In meetings, at dinners and in passing conversations, Trump has asked advisers whether the U.S. can acquire Greenland, listened with interest when they discuss its abundant resources and geopolitical importance and, according to two of the people, has asked his White House counsel to look into the idea.

[quote]Some of his advisers have supported the concept, saying it was a good economic play, two of the people said, while others dismissed it as a fleeting fascination that will never come to fruition. It is also unclear how the U.S. would go about acquiring Greenland even if the effort were serious.

After a decade of sustained growth, the global economy largely recovered from the Great Recession. A number of indicators, however, are raising concerns that a contraction may be coming soon.

Several of the world's biggest economies are showing signs of trouble, experts say. The world's two economic leaders — the U.S. and China — are each feeling the pain from an ongoing trade war that could drag on for months, if not years. Last week, the U.S. showed an “inverted yield curve,” a complex financial metric that has occurred before each American recession since the 1950s.

The economies in Germany, Brazil, Italy, Mexico and a number of other countries are also showing vulnerabilities, experts say. The uncertainty is exacerbated by fears of the potential financial fallout that could happen if the United Kingdom leaves the European Union in October without first reaching a deal on the terms of its departure.

In general, an economy is considered to be in recession when it posts two straight quarters of declining gross domestic product. Some governments use their own more nuanced measurements to formally declare that their country is experiencing a recession.

Pessimistic forecasters say all of these indicators point to an imminent global recession. Periods of expansion and contraction are normal in all economies, but some experts fear a potential cyclical downturn could be made significantly worse by tensions between the U.S. and China, by Brexit and lingering effects of the Great Recession.

Despite signals of a slowdown, some experts say there are also signs, such as the low unemployment rate, that the world economy is strong. “There is no recession is sight,” Trump administration economic adviser Larry Kudlow said.

Others argue even if negative signs show a recession is coming, there's no indication of when it will happen or how severe it might be.

Me and my Husbear, Rickey, are going to see my man at Barclays Center on Friday and Saturday! He surprised me with FRONT ROW tix, he knows I’m a super Stan Fangirl, I almost fainted!!! Sqee!! I’m so excited!! My hubby gave me a “hall pass” and if Shawn spots me in the audience and tells security to let me backstage I can be all his for one night! I went to Macy’s for concert clothes and got the cutest new CK Pride jocks, but I can’t decide which color to wear!? Help me, I don’t want to disappoint Shawn. I need advice to get Shawny Bear’s attention!!!

Let the comments continue

To make a long story short he basically said he only dates women and enjoys having sex with them, but likes intamacy with men and possibly kissing but isn't sure about sex yet.

Carry on.

I can't understand why Hollywood supported him so. I love the woman in the white silky top who refuses to clap.

Why is she so popular? Her single Bad Guy has been at the top of the charts for weeks. All she does is mumble. The video is gross.

She seriously scares me.

"White Castle initially tested its Impossible Slider in just a few locations in New York, New Jersey, and Chicago in April 2018. It was such a hit that the company quickly expanded the program to all 380 outlets. “People are coming back for it again and again,” White Castle’s vice president, Jamie Richardson, said with a touch of astonishment.

They’re coming back at Del Taco, too, which launched a Beyond Meat taco in April. Within two months, it had sold two million, one of the most successful product launches in its history, so it decided to add Beyond Meat burritos as well.

And then there’s Burger King. The second-largest fast-food chain in the world rattled big beef’s cage by testing an Impossible Whopper in St. Louis in April. Resulting foot traffic was so strong that Burger King decided to serve the Impossible Whopper in all 7,200 restaurants, marking the moment when alt meat stopped being alt."

Colton Haynes Gets Candid About His Drug Addiction, Divorce, & Ending Up Hospitalized

Colton Haynes is on one of the covers of Attitude‘s 25th anniversary issue.

Here’s what the 30-year-old actor had to share with the mag…

On his downward spiral amid his divorce from Jeff Leatham and his mother’s tragic passing: “I came out and, in a way, my downward spiral started. I felt extremely free but at the same time the amount of attention I was getting was making me spin out of control. I got married and that didn’t work out. That was extremely public and heart-breaking, and right when that was going on, my mom died. That was only a year ago. At that point, I fell apart. My brain broke. I was doing this massive comedy for a studio, showed up to work and got fired on the first day. They said I looked as if I had ‘dead in my eyes’ — and I did. I think it was the best decision in the world to fire me. I got so heavily involved with drugs and alcohol to mask the pain I was feeling that I couldn’t even make some decisions for myself. I was drowning in my own sh*t.”

On how his drug taking and drinking ended in hospitalization: “I locked myself in a hotel room at the Waldorf Astoria in Beverly Hills for seven days and was found in my room with these bruises all over my body. It looked as if somebody had beaten the sh*t out of me. I couldn’t walk, so I was falling everywhere. I almost ruptured my kidney, ended up in the hospital, ended up on 5150 [a temporary and involuntary] psyche hold. I was on such a destructive path that I could not function.”

Ongoing to rehab and being sober: “I was in treatment for four months. I came out six months ago. It’s just a different life now. It’s the best gift I’ve ever been given. I was ready to try to live an authentic life because most of my life was so f*cking fake. I loved to blame other people, and other situations, until I started dealing with the fact that I was the root of all these problems… It’s like this rebirth. I now feel things, which is something I’d not done for a decade. I was numb.”

Like Sarah Jessica Parker and other celebs who live in old townhouses in NYC? There could be a stalking maniac waiting for them just around the corner or hidden behind the stoop at any minute. Do they have security guards patroling the street on a regular basis or do they believe in the good of people?

Sheriff Ordered To Seize $88K From Tori Spelling

Julian, April, 2019.

"There was a balcony collapse during the love making," said an investigating source.

"Large fragments of the stone balcony surrounded the couple after the fall.

"The couple were making love in open view, and then the balcony gave way, meaning they dropped around 3.5 meters (11.48 feet)."

The source added it is thought that the woman may have been cushioned by her lover following the fall in Le Cannet, which is extremely popular with British tourists during the summer months.

I once caught a dog trying to steal my neighbor's paper. I yelled at him and to my surprise he dropped the paper and ran away.

It wasn't from a lack of once being married to one of the most powerful men in the music industry or having an annoying voice that sounds like birds dying!

3 clothing stores in my area that I've been shopping at for ages have gone out of business recently. Wtf? 2 I'd heard were closing but the other 1 I went to today and there are big signs saying they were closing and everything had to go. I was so surprised. I mean, I realize most everyone does their shopping online these days but still, there are some of us who still like to shop in actual stores. What does this mean for the future of brick and mortar businesses? Will they cease to exist at all and will everyone have no choice but to shop online? It really sucks.

Walked around on stage and elsewhere with huge, flopping hard-on dicks! You could touch for a tip.

Actually, I was impressed with the entire gay club. 4 stories tall, with 12 different rooms with different music (80s, techno, ranchera, etc.) Beautiful men everywhere. Not just in the club, but all over Bogota.

And gay men everywhere. Bogota has to be one of the underrated gayest cities in the world.

I'd like to hit a few of his high notes.

The Mendes army is going wild over Shawn's appearance at MMVA 18 when the singer secretly came on stage dressed as Marshmello to accept his award only to reveal himself when he took off the helmet. The Mendes fangirls are also going wild over another thing and it's Shawn's choice of footwear by wearing sneakers instead of boots.

Andrew Rannells looks best. Matt Bomer appears to have interpreted the character as having some kind of eating disorder.

Part II of the Epstein “suicide” saga.

He calls it a "premeditated attack" by right wingers in his country, but didn't hear them saying anything to indicate this and seems to be jumping to extreme conclusions.

...

This is a bit dramatic, so firstly I’m fine, but last night - when I was celebrating my birthday - I was attacked, along with my friends, in a blatant premeditated assault.

Six of us left the pub at 3am and were saying our goodbyes 30 metres away, then a group of 3-4 men left the pub, made a beeline for me, kicked me in the back, threw me on the ground, slamming my head, and kicked me in the skull. My friends were punched trying to defend me.

The group then scarpered: I don’t know if they said anything in the melee. I’m fine other than a big bump on my head and a cut back.

Given the far right attacks I’ve had in the streets, and generally escalating far right threats I’ve had, I’m in no doubt as to what this is.

Earlier this year a far right activist took pictures of me in a pub with these threatening messages, for example.

The far right menace is growing, it’s real, it’s violent, and it’s targeting minorities and leftists. We can’t let them intimidate us, and we will defeat them. ✌️

Oh and thanks to my friends, who were assaulted defending me and who I love very much ❤️

Ugh! Going with 78 yo mother and 82 yo old father bc they can't travel alone. I'm 50. The interior of the ship looks like a recently remodeled Holiday Inn. The food is uninspiring. The shows look like the touring company of Broadway shows that go to Cedar Rapids. I think only deplorables go on this ship and they probably think it's luxurious. What can I expect? Any tips besides bring a book?

Help DLers. Do any of you deal with mega sinus pain/pressure (forehead, eyes) around allergy season? I’m not congested, but my sinuses are aflame. Doc gave me a prescription for Allegra D and a shot of a strong NSAID painkiller over the weekend. Getting better but still hurts. Normally I’d try coffee but the dr. also said to avoid caffeine. Ouch. I need your remedies, wise DL!

So we would hang out with another couple all the time. One of the other couple is an old childhood neighbor when we were kids.

We all got along great and I adore his wife. Last time we were there was a holiday summer party I thought everything was fine. I've been over there twice to hang out in the pool and left thinking everything was fine. I just dont get it.

My partner thinks we should keep cleaning and separating recylclables as practice for when recyclables are actually recycled.

Have you ever stopped seeing/dating someone because you discovered they were into something you weren't or that just plain creeped you out?

This story got me thinking wondering many people who disappear are actually just dead from accidents and not found. I know people tend to think foul play but maybe most are just dead somewhere. I think dredging lakes might turn up some bodies.

So many people have derided Madonna with her concept album, MADAME X, but it's been a tremendous success for her as she approaches her 61st birthday.

MADAME X hit Number One on the Billboard Top 200 Album chart, far outdistancing in physical units the number two album by Bruce Springsteen.

Madonna charted her highest Adult Contemporary hit in over 20 years with "Crave", which is still rising on the charts!

"Medellín" with super-sexy Maluma has become her latest Number One Dance hit, with "I Don't Search, I Find" poised to be another.

The controversial "God Control" video showed the world that Madonna can still be on the forefront of the world's greatest issues, like homophobia and gun control.

The clips Madonna has shown from the MADAME X tours rehearsals look exciting! This tour will blow everyone's minds!

To those who scoffed at MADAME X, well, she showed she knew what she was doing. Way to go, Madonna!

No, that is not a drag queen trying to pull off Elizabeth Taylor.

They picked up right where they left off.

If anything, this clip is worth watching for Meghan's fashion alone.

I'm 31 and live in San Francisco, and am getting sick of this place (for predictable reasons). Thinking about a move somewhere new and fresh that's up and coming, and that is connected to the gay community. I am also recently single, so that is an impetus for me to make a change.

There's tons of chatter about young millenials moving to hipster paradises like Portland, Seattle, Austin, Denver, Sacramento, and even Atlanta. I feel like those places are already combed over, expensive, crowded, and gentrified.

But, are there new places that gay millenials are heading to that not predictable and expected? What's the new Austin or Denver? I dream about moving to a place that has a tight-knight community, is LGBTQ-friendly, is affordable, I could purchase a home that isn't tiny and that has a backyard with trees and grass, a driveway, and washing machine (WOW, what ever happened to the American dream?), and that has culture, restaurants, natural beauty, and job opportunities.

What say you, Gay Millenials?

The times, they are changing. St. Louis high school foot ball player comes out after being drafted.

I don't care about real estate listings.

I hate reality shows.

I am bored by Insta-hoes.

I don't care about the Disney princes.

Genoa City welcomes the new Phyllis, who is the old Phyllis.

While Americans obsess over whether "Fredo" is an ethnic slur, another nuclear accident is fucking up Russia as we speak.

American intelligence officials are racing to understand a mysterious explosion that released radiation off the coast of northern Russia last week, apparently during the test of a new type of nuclear-propelled cruise missile hailed by President Vladimir V. Putin as the centerpiece of Moscow’s arms race with the United States.

American officials have said nothing publicly about the blast on Thursday, possibly one of the worst nuclear accidents in the region since Chernobyl, although apparently on a far smaller scale, with at least seven people, including scientists, confirmed dead. But the Russian government’s slow and secretive response has set off anxiety in nearby cities and towns — and attracted the attention of analysts in Washington and Europe who believe the explosion may offer a glimpse of technological weaknesses in Russia’s new arms program.

Thursday’s accident happened offshore of the Nenoksa Missile Test Site and was followed by what nearby local officials initially reported was a spike in radiation in the atmosphere.

Late Sunday night, officials at a research institute that had employed five of the scientists who died confirmed for the first time that a small nuclear reactor had exploded during an experiment in the White Sea, and that the authorities were investigating the cause.

So who was that?

Bad news for our fellow pervs in the UK. Authorities of Porthcawl, Wales plan to spend more than $200,000 to install public bathrooms that shoo-off anyone enjoying the company of others inside by spraying them with water, opening the doors, and sounding a high-pitched alarm.

Porthcawl's town council submitted planning documents that say the new “robo-toilets” will be equipped with a series of security features to prevent any inappropriate behavior. Weight sensitive floors will detect if there is more than one user in the stall at a time, and any “violent movement” will be met with the doors flying open, alarms sounding, and water raining down into the cubicle.

MARY! Will this technology ever see America?

Yes they can.

Erin Colleen, 34, from Washington, D.C., claims she has been cheated on several times over the years and decided enough was enough - so is now determined to stop others falling victim to womanizers.

Downloading Tinder to get back into the dating scene herself, the single mother was horrified to see men openly advertising themselves as married or 'looking for something discreet'.

She took it upon herself to use the investigative skills learned in a career in data mining to track down men's partners - and expose them.

So far, she has successfully outed five men to their partners and claims that while each woman has been upset, they have been thankful.

Erin has now made it her mission to expose as many cheaters as possible - to ensure no other women go through what she has.

Erin said: 'I can't stand cheaters. I was cheated on [in the past]. It was devastating to learn he'd been doing it right under my nose for years, and that nobody ever said anything to me about it.

'Whenever I see a profile that says 'married' or 'looking for something discreet', I immediately swipe right to see if I can out the guy.

'I do this to protect other women. I don't want any other woman to go through what I went through.

'Women are starting to really look out for other women, even ones we don't know, so if you want to cheat you had better expect it to get back to your partner. It's 2019 now and cheaters can't hide any more.'

Last weekend, Erin outed two more men to their partners after chatting with them over Facebook and Snapchat for a number of months. During one chat, Erin received x-rated pictures and videos - causing her to fear a man had been secretly filming his partner.

I couldn’t agree more. There is something very anti-American about Republicans. For example, the Kochs are second generation immigrants and I think they just hate us.

Ted Cruz too. Second generation American who also hates this country. The Trumps also. And Peter Theil.

They are finally getting their revenge from the inside.

...and darn it didn’t feel good!

The shower curtain in my new house is too high for my short stature. As I was reaching up on my tip toes to grab my shower sponge, I slipped and broke my arm on the way down.

The worst part is my husband is out of town this weekend so I had to pick an ambulance ride or my in-laws to get to the emergency room!

So it’s a sling for me now. Oh, joy! What fun.

Just look at this video. Dripping wet bodies of multiple half nude men with seductive stares? Seems meant for a gay audience to me!

A thread to speculate about what might do the trick in getting the RF to turn him in. Mobs at the gates of Buckingham Palace? Undeniable evidence of illegal acts? Polls showing the public support of the RF dropping fast and he's the reason why?

This 30-year-old man with special needs was found walking alone. And when cops asked him who they could call, he only remembered one name: his junior high teacher. Now that teacher is taking him in

This could be on their spouse or significant other.

Jessica Lange’s scream at the end, though.

Continuation and some problems.

Lately I've been noticing quite a few group photos of groups of facebook friends on summer outings. I notice that in many of the groups shots that almost everyone in the photo is good-looking, especially among gay bear friends. Would these guys be considered A-list gays? Very popular, good-looking, always out doing something fun and traveling, always with so many friends. I always end up feeling a bit depressed and left out when I see these photos. Does anyone else ever feel the same way when looking through friend's photos on facebook?

Sing it Princess Vitarah!

And the blinking. My God, the blinking! It never stops! Just watch a few seconds of this interview with Anderson Cooper and you'll see what I mean.

Does he have cataracts? Is he going blind? We all know he was willfully blind when he was kissing Trump's ass. Is this his kharmic payback for being that ignorant orange racist's apologist for so long?

JERUSALEM — Israel on Thursday barred the entry of two American Democratic congresswomen who had planned to visit the West Bank, the deputy foreign minister on Israeli radio said, hours after President Trump had urged the country to ban them.

Mr. Trump’s intervention was an extraordinary step to influence an allied nation and punish his political opponents at home.

It was reported last week that Mr. Trump was pressing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel to deny entrance to the two women, Representatives Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, and Thursday morning he left little doubt. He said in a Twitter post while Israeli officials were still deliberating the matter that “it would show great weakness if Israel allowed Rep. Omar and Rep. Tlaib to visit.”

His 4-minute video released this morning:

A top management guy from our multinational firm came to visit us in the NY office. It’s well known that he’s gay, with a husband and family.

He met one-on-one with a few of us to see what our progress was on a number of projects.

I kept wondering if I should signal to him that I was gay, just to show there were gay people in the company that were so supportive of his leadership.

In the end, I didn’t say anything but I feel that I should have.

Do you signal anything?

This one might be better for older DLers. Like 40+. Thankfully, I think this is the kind of issue younger gays have to deal with less and less.

I've had a straight friend for 18 years. He's been a good friend. We've been though much together. But, I think that during much of our friendship, I have considered him a better friend than he considers me. There is no sexual attraction on my part, so that aspect doesn't really play into it.

I last saw him at a party on July 4th. The next week, I was laid off from my job. No matter who you are, or what the circumstances are, that is a traumatic thing. I dropped him an email to hang out, commiserate, maybe make a game plan, but really, in the end, mostly for support. He was busy that week, which I understood. He told me he'd see me the next weekend.

Next weekend came and went. I emailed him again, and it kept getting put off. Even though I was kinda over being laid off, it still bothered me that he was putting it off. If anything traumatic happened to him like that, I swear I would drop what I was doing and see what I could do to help him.

So, here we are, over a month after I was laid off. Yesterday he texts "Let's get lunch Thursday." Frankly, seeing him for 45 minutes on his lunch break is not what I had in mind, and I'm upset over it.

We've been through this many, many times. If I try to talk to him about it, he will shut me down. I know that me asking more than twice for him to hang out with me is pathetic. I find that many gays of my generation (I'm 49) are often too willing to look pathetic. I can't keep doing that to myself.

I really want to cancel lunch tomorrow. But, I have to understand that if do , this can't be a half measure. It's ending a friendship that has meant much to me.

And, I guess even though I'm not at all attracted to him, maybe there is an emotional aspect of my feelings for him that just aren't workable. I so wish I could be one of those people who is able to drop good friends and not think another thing about it. But I'm not, and this will be painful. Young gay- be thankful that you're on more equal footing with straight guys. I imagine it makes things easier.

I fully expect to be pilloried for this post. It's okay. I deserve it. But, I know some of you will relate. And maybe maybe maybe someone will post something that makes everything more clear and makes me feel better.

Can Sara and her husband be put in prison already?

Sara Netanyahu, the wife of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, is reported to have been restrained by her own security detail on a El Al flight to Ukraine after she allegedly tried to storm the cockpit to demand respect from the pilots. Israel’s Channel 12 news reported the incident, describing how Netanyahu rose from her seat and angrily requested access to the cockpit. She was said to have been escorted back to her seat without incident, but a short time later, the pilots did acknowledge both Netanyahus, who are in the Ukraine for a two-day state visit. The prime minister’s office gave a watered down denial of the events. “This is a distorted publication. There was a misunderstanding which was immediately clarified and the flight went according to plan,” Netanyahu’s office said in a statement without clarifying what the misunderstanding was. “The story about the security guards, as well, is a total lie. It is another attempt to divert attention from the important international visit that the prime minister carried out.” The airline issued its own statement, simply stating that the prime minister’s flight “went according to plan.”

Disregarding the DL epicures, has anyone tried or wants to the try the new meatless Whooper from Burger King. I was tempted to, thinking it might be a bit healthier (I know, it doesn't say much for fast food in general) but some of the nutrition information makes it appear worse than a regular Whopper. Contains wheat (so much for my celiac), 34 grams of fat, 11 grams of which are saturated, 1080 (!!) milligrams of sodium

Do you have and Instant Pot? I hear raves about these things.

Look for the summer’s most dedicated cooks, and you will probably find them at the grill. But you might not want to hang out there with them too long: it’s a hot, often buggy place to be. (And there are so many rules.)

Now, a group of ardent cooks is touting an alternate place to create some of summer’s standout dishes: their Instant Pot. Melissa Clark, the New York Times columnist whose latest cookbook is Comfort In an Instant, happily stays away from outdoor open flames. “It’s scorching out where the grill is, cool in the kitchen where my Instant Pot is. I can’t imagine doing long barbecued meats like ribs and pork shoulder on the grill ever again,” she says. “The only thing the grill is really better for is quick-cooking things that you want to char. Downside, you have to hang out with your ingredients while they char. Maybe char is overrated.”

Why are they all disgusting, third world dumps?

Every single one smells like mildew, has missing tiles in the ceilings, trash overflowing, filthy windows that haven’t been cleaned in ages, cracked driveways, potholes, petrified fuel caked on the pumps and surrounding cement, permanent urine stains in the bathroom when they are not “out of order,” stale or even expired snacks and old/flat sodas?

Even the newer chains like Sheetz that are somewhat cleaner have gross driveways and overflowing trash. QuickTrips bathrooms have joined the rest.

Anytime a new Circle K opens it goes to seed in 3 months. Same for 7-11.

some of the players even laughed during it. What the FUCK was she doing? This was so fucking awful!

Ever known someone who was once a lowlife grifter but they've changed their ways and now they have a holier than thou attitude? My friends sister used to be a real scumbag. She was married to a series of criminals having 4 kids by 4 different guys who have done time and basically stole everything she needed in life from groceries to clothing. She's been buying things and had her first real job for about five years now and she acts like she's so much better than everybody else and always talks about how hard she struggled and how she has such good morals. What the hell is wrong with people like this? And no she doesn't work for the Trump administration.

Carry on.....

Can't post on the other Timothee thread anymore. So starting a new one.......which will probably end up the same way, but hey, wtf why not?

Was looking over some family photos with my mother a few months back and was surprised that people I'd always assumed (from the photos) were in their 60s were actually mid-40s or so. Doesn't seem to just be related to my family either, lol, was reading that the actors who played Archie and Edith Bunker were in their 40s when the series started and that Ed Asner who played Lou Grant was also mid-40s when the series started.

Similarly, women in the photos I thought were in their 30s turned out to be 22 or 23, so not just older folks

Was it just the way people dressed back then--hairstyles and all--that made them seem older?

Or do people take better care of themselves now?

This period of Tina’s career fascinates me. She made her living performing on the cabaret/hotel circuit (occasionally touring overseas) and occasionally appeared on various talk shows. She released two albums during this time, Rough (1978) and Love Explosion (1980), both of which bombed, resulting in her being dropped by her record label.

Lots of live footage of her performances are fortunately available on YouTube.

She experimented with a lot of different musical styles. Here she is covering Barbra Streisand on a TV show in 1977. Not long at all after she left Ike.

Women are held in encampments for sex and procreating at any time for “straight” men, so they can’t infest the mainstream society with their drama and constant nagging need for “more” everything. There is also no shame in homosexual sex, as the abandoned competition for pussy no longer requires men to constantly prove their masculinity.

That opening scene was POWERFUL. The acting from Billy Porter superb once again.

I hate the idea of making a raunchy comedy surrounding kids but it actually was quite good! I was surprised how much I enjoyed it. The first half was very funny, the second half not as much, but still good.

I liked its message that it’s OKAY to grow apart from people with time, because with time we change and usually in different ways, but just because you’re not as close doesn’t mean you can’t still be there for each other and remain friends. It was touching.

Go see it. All three boys were great but Jacob Tremblay was superb. He wasn’t as funny overall as the other two but easily the best actor. I loved when he finally got the girl he wanted then she dumped him, then he dates her best friend only for her to dumb him also so they can be girlfriends together lmao.

Anyone going? Just bought my tickets. Could be interesting

Forget Jacko, King of Pedos - Prince Andrew faces charges for aiding and abetting the sex trafficking of minors. He groped the breast of a sex slave called Ghislaine at Jeffrey Epstein's house.

I know some of you are bound to rip this one apart, but I absolutely loved this movie. It’s so good! One of my favorites of 2012! I loved Bradley Cooper in this even, and I usually hate him!

This was one of the best performances Robert De Niro gave in YEARS. He actually acted here, something he hasn’t cared to do in some time!

J Law was wonderfully charming, cute and sassy in this one. I found her hysterical at times. I know she wasn’t the same character from the book, but she was still great.

The book and movie are different in ways, but neither better than the other in this case. The changes made for the movie worked.

Tired of just bitching and moaning about your job? Want to do more than be scared of the Sunday night dread?

Starting this thread as I begin the job search. I reactivated my Linkedin account--dormant for, I can't recall, about 10 years? Friend said her husband received his last 2 jobs from people reaching out to him on Linkedin.

If I upload my resume to Linkedin, can anyone read it? I'm concerned that my manager and work colleagues will see it. For a good resume, I need to provide accomplishment and specifics on revenue earned right? But I might get dinged by my company if I have specific data out in the public concerning revenue and projects. I work for a behemoth of a company and we sign our lives away in terms of confidentiality on what we work on.

Lastly, I saw that someone from my company checked out my profile. If pay the premium, can I see who that person(s) is?

As the last one wound down, we were back to Lucy's Mame, Colin's cock, Kate Miller's dead career, and Angie's high kicks.

“She can be aessy queen! Yes I said it! Don’t care he knows either! He should remember his talk show isn’t an episode of the Real Housewives of Atlanta! It’s a place where artists come to talk about art and have a little fun. NOT a place to rehash old rumors or bring a star negative press.”

Sunday was a display of ratchet behavior by a well connected man having blatant disregard for one of his guests,” he said. “If only time were taken to know who I am and not assuming that I am the character I play on TV, he would know how to conduct a proper interview with at all!

I received 4 Emmy nominations for acting! NOT for being my self. He was lucky I had my wits and Christian values THAT day. Always keep it classy. Being friends with other talented celebrities doesn’t make you friends with other famous celebrities! He should rip a page from Anderson Cooper and learn how to do his job.”

He’s fucking perfect.

I was talking with a co-worker about needing some plumbing done and a guy behind us said his uncle is a plumber.

I gave the guy my home number so his uncle could call me to arrange an appointment.

This guy didn't tell me his uncle's name and only gave me his first name.

I'm now afraid that he's going to rob my house while I'm at work.

I'm crazy right?

“He’s gonna drop out of the race because it’s gonna become very clear. Okay, it’ll be March of 2020. He’ll likely drop out by March of 2020. It’s gonna become very clear that it’s impossible for him to win,” the former (short-lived) White House communications director said in an interview with Vanity Fair published Friday.

“He’s got the self-worth in terms of his self-esteem of a small pigeon. It’s a very small pigeon. Okay,” Scaramucci continued about Trump. “And so you think this guy’s gonna look at those poll numbers and say — he’s not gonna be able to handle that humiliation.”

I am not very surprised that this didn't support a thread since he is a gay icon. I originally read the news articles and didn't believe the bartender but since the bartenders boss corroborated his one time employee's account I totally believe him. Lemon sticking his hand down someone's pants and touching their genitals?? Classy move. Lemon is a liar and I hope the guy gets his settlement. Of course CNN stands by Lemon and his 2000 viewers do to!!

The affection never, ever ends...

Just a little FYI: Sparta admiration is a signal of deplorableness. The nazis were modelled after that society.

There's a Paranormal State marathon on A&E and I Googled Ryan. He was said to be engaged to Serg, got pancreatic cancer, went to rehab. He was taking money for seminars, cancelling and never giving refunds. Then, he was arrested for theft and then assault on his new boyfriend. His mom said he's sick but not with cancer and begged fans not to enable him anymore by making excuses for him and giving him money. Sergey is getting married to a woman and Ryan looks like he's a meth addict. It's fairly shocking to see this. I wouldn't be surprised to see him in a Treasure Island video.

I got a DUI, parked in my car. I had five drinks over 4 hours, but they were strong and I pulled over on the way home. Stupid, could have hurt someone, and now I am facing a world of pain.

Who among the next 10 ranked male DOOL actors should be the new King OF DOOL? The poll's runner up will be considered the new Prince of DOOL.

I've always stayed clear from rimming. I have been rimmed in the past and I've only mildly enjoyed it. But rimming a guy? No thank you! For some reason, I'm not attracted to it.

However, I've known tons of guys who enjoy rimming. So rimmers: What turns you on about rimming? Does it not smell bad? How do you cope with the fact that you're likely getting some fragments of shit in your mouth? I sincerely want to understand.

Ms. Mendes has the appearance on his tongue of thrush.

aren’t HIV meds today a lot less harsh? I wonder why their doctors don’t switch older survivor’s regimens in order to mitigate that stomach bloating, shoulder hump, and facial wasting. I realize that most are lucky to be alive but I also know that looks are an issue many of them struggle with. My own therapist wrote papers on facial wasting on gay men and the effects it has on their self esteem. I just wonder if the older survivors are locked in to certain meds now since that’s what they started with, or if their physical effects are permanent.

Oh, come on... you know they aren't sorry sorry.

They confuse the hell out of me.

Keenan Tracey comes to mind.

James Kennedy (from Vanderpump Rules) is another.

This really pisses me off! And it seems to be happening more and more.

I'll take the metal covering off of the wine, attempt to take out the cork, only to discover that the cork is rotted, and it breaks halfway down. Dammit!

What am I supposed to do then? This also happens with corked liquor.

Inevitably, I end up with cork floating around in my alcohol.

There should be a law against this!

Well have you, or have you ever done the deed in public?

Looks good.

In Australia, at least.

But what if the people who need the most help are the least likely to get it? I can think of two narcissists and an agoraphobic with shocking social anxiety (who is also "treating" their insomnia with homemade medicinal marijuana) who would happily regale *anyone* with tales of how hard their lives are. Talk for HOURS about the people who cause all their problems...because it would never be their own actions leading to their unhappiness.

But suggest any of the three see a shrink, a counsellor or take any medication? Well if anyone suggested that, they'd be told to fuck off pretty quick.

Susan(Saggy Tits)Sarandon is campaigning for Bernie again.

The new season starts today (5/28). I've missed Deran and Adrian and their developing relationship. Last we saw, Deran was house hunting, looking for a place for them to live together. Problem is that Adrian had just gotten busted with drugs hidden in his surfing equipment. I am hoping that everything works out for these two crazy kids.

Not looking forward to seeing Mia, J's skanky assassin girlfriend. They keep hooking him up with crazy chicks, like that teacher, that drugged out teenager Nicky and now this one. Ugh.

Jessica Lange's official ranking of American Horror Story seasons, from best to worst, is as follows:

1) Asylum (we love a legend with TASTE!)

2) Freak Show (Interesting... very interesting.)

3) Murder House (Deserved better.)

4) Coven (Ummm...)

UNRANKED: Apocalypse (She hasn't actually seen it so we'll let that slide.)

Coven?! Despite the witches being an absolute fan favourite and the fact that she literally won an Emmy for dominating in the role of Fiona Goode, it turns out that Ms Lange really isn't that into season 3 at all.

"I was stunned that year to get the Emmy for that part," she explains. "The part was very well written. I didn't particularly like the whole set up and season and story we were telling. It was not my favourite."

I can’t believe she placed freak show above coven! Do you agree?

AustinZane ~ a bromance gone tragically wrong. What unrequited love have you experienced (details please if you can bear the pain)? Where can I get a copy of that elusive book, "Shame and Fortune"?

My neighbors are animals. The girls get in the pool as soon as the sun comes up and throw/hit/bounce a large ball constantly. There's a boy who spends all day hitting a baseball with a bat. He also makes very loud yelling/grunting sounds. It's driving me crazy. There's something about the constant, repetitive sound of ball bouncing/smashing & baseball whacking that is causing me headaches. I was thinking of using that sound that only young kids can hear to drive them indoors, but it turns out I can hear it, too. What is it about these ball noises that makes my head feel like exploding?

Say your goodbyes to Thomas.

Asked about his queer identity and playing queer roles, Pace says he’s never felt uncomfortable about it, despite reports to the contrary.

“I’ve always felt very safe, you know?” he explains. “I was in the drama department in high school. I went to Julliard. I’ve been playing queer characters. My first movie I played a trans character.”

“I’ve never felt the danger of that, you know? So, to walk in the shoes of someone who that danger is so real that he can’t utter it, it taught me something about myself and about my community… We’re not all so lucky to get the free pass in life.”

Pace says it’s important for members of the LGBTQ community to be kinder to one another.

“As a community, we can be very unkind to each other,” he says. “It’s very judgmental to kind of look at someone and [think] you oughta do it like this… there’s a more gentle way to be.”

In southeast Alaska, the normally lush forests are falling prey to spruce bark beetles and hemlock sawflys, which are taking advantage of a lack of rainfall and higher than average temperatures. The dry weather has also forced cuts in hydropower production, forcing a switch to more expensive and polluting diesel power generation.

In Anchorage, this summer has been the hottest and smokiest the city has ever recorded, with plumes from distant wildfires obscuring the skies and aggravating health problems. July was the state’s warmest month on record, in keeping with that of the globe.

In western Alaska, there has been a multispecies mass mortality event, with washed-up seals, walrus and birds, possibly due, in part, to a total lack of sea ice, and record warm ocean waters, according to Rick Thoman of the International Arctic Research Center.

On a call with reporters Thursday, Thoman said there have also been “dead non-spawned salmon in some places in significant numbers,” coinciding with high river temperatures of 70 degrees or greater. The wildlife deaths are hitting close to home for many Alaskans, a state in which commercial fishing and hunting are a source of livelihood for many, and where indigenous communities practice subsistence hunting.

Monday marked the warmest August day recorded in Anchorage. It also was the 43rd consecutive day the city of about 300,000 has reached 70 degrees — the longest such streak on record. The low Monday night temperature didn’t drop below 63 degrees in Anchorage — its warmest night on record. It tied that record again overnight Tuesday.

Just about every temperature record has fallen in a state that’s running 6.2 degrees above normal since June. Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday all hit 77 degrees in Anchorage, setting record high temperatures for the date, compared with the average high, which is 65 degrees.

And another period of record heat is on the way for this weekend.

The balmy weather sounds nice in theory, but for Alaskans watching their landscape melt and burn, it’s anything but. Nearly 2.5 million acres have burned in more than 600 wildfires this year in Alaska. This is not yet a record for the season, but according to Thoman, the 1991-2010 median-to-date is 681,000 acres.

The fires aren’t confined to Alaska. Wildfires have been flaring all across the Arctic. In Greenland, wildfires continue to burn, while at least 13 million acres have already gone up in flames in Siberia. The cloud of smoke billowing from Siberia alone could cover the entire European Union, according to the World Meteorological Organization.

While the fires are raging, the ice is vanishing. Eastern Siberian sea ice is running at its second lowest coverage for the date on record. Across the entire Arctic, 2019 is also in second place for the lowest sea ice extent on record — running just behind the record-shattering 2012 melt season. Adjacent to Alaska, the Chukchi Sea is likely to become ice-free by September. According to Thoman, there was no sea ice within 125 miles of the Alaska coastline as of Thursday, and the now-exposed ocean waters are gaining large amounts of heat energy from the sun that will be slow to dissipate in the fall and winter.

The warmer than average waters will reverberate into the cold season, since the fall freeze will be delayed, probably leading to an unusually mild fall and early-winter period.

“What happens in the Pacific and Arctic Oceans has a profound effect on Alaska’s temperature,” Thoman said.

A lack of fall and early winter ice will leave coastal communities vulnerable to erosion and storm surge flooding from powerful storms that typically buffet the state. Ecosystems within the Bering Sea are undergoing rapid changes that present challenges for the state’s massive seafood industry.

It’s finally acceptable again for dudes to wear certain types of short shorts again, y’all!

The Trump administration’s Department of Justice is asking the Supreme Court to set a legal precedent that would enable employers to fire employees because they are transgender.

The Department of Justice has submitted a brief to the Court Friday asking the Justices to rule that Title VII, a federal law that prohibits employment discrimination on the basis of sex, race, color, religion or national origin, does not protect transgender people. The department argued that they should throw out a lower court ruling that found that a funeral home that fired a transgender woman had discriminated against her.

The brief concerns R.G. & G.R. Harris Funeral Homes Inc. v. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, one of three cases that the Supreme Court agreed to hear earlier this year that concern whether Title VII can be applied to LGBTQ workers.

In the case, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit found that the owner of the funeral home, Thomas Rost, had violated the law when he fired Aimee Stephens, a transgender woman who worked for the company from 2007 to 2013. According to court documents, Stephens sent the company a letter in 2013 that said she struggled with a “gender identity disorder” and planned to begin to live as a woman, including by wearing the company’s female uniform – a jacket and skirt – instead of a suit and tie.

A high school student in Springville, Ala., was excluded from her yearbook after wearing a tux for her senior portrait. Now she’s arguing that she was left out because, she says, “I’m a lesbian who wanted to wear a tux instead of a drape.”

Holley Gerelds took to Twitter on Thursday to share a photo of the “Not Pictured” section of the Springville High School yearbook, where her name was displayed underneath. However, she clarified that it wasn’t that she hadn’t gotten her photo taken, but instead that the school seemingly didn’t approve of the photo she took.

[quote] i took my senior portraits wearing a tux instead of a drape. guess who wasn’t pictured lol @happyhippiefdn pic.twitter.com/aLb5OiXeiU

[quote] i would like to add that i’m not trying to get anyone in trouble or sent hate. i’m just upset that i didn’t get put into MY senior yearbook because i’m a lesbian who wanted to wear a tux instead of a drape. i paid for my pictures just like everyone else

The 18-year-old tells Yahoo Lifestyle that the senior portrait was taken back in June 2018, when she chose to wear what she was most comfortable in: a tux.

“I’ve always worn masculine clothing,” she says. “I was under the impression that my picture would be in the yearbook. No one told me I couldn’t wear the tux until I went to retake my pictures in the fall.”

Gerelds went to retake her photo — again wearing her tux — because she didn’t like her hair in the original pictures. But when she arrived, the photographer refused to take the photo unless she put on the provided drape.

“I took my money back and left,” Gerelds explains. “When I saw my picture wasn’t included and that my name, misspelled, was listed under ‘not pictured’ I laughed because I expected it.”

Still, she was mad after having paid for the first round of pictures, not to mention the $75 she’d forked over for the yearbook itself. But after sharing her frustration on Twitter, the teen gained lots of support and ultimately settled the issue with her school.

Mike Howard, the superintendent of St. Clair County Schools, provided Yahoo Lifestyle with the following statement:

“I have received requests to comment on a student issue concerning senior portraits taken at Springville High School. Unfortunately, I am unable to comment on specific student matters. I understand that the senior portraits taken at Springville High School during the last school year were taken in accordance with long-standing school guidelines. We are in the process of reevaluating those guidelines to consider what changes, if any, need to be made.

“I can confirm that the composite photograph of the Springville High School Class of 2019 will include all students that participated in the senior portrait process, regardless of their choice of attire. In addition, we are reprinting a page of Springville High School’s recent yearbook to correct the misspelling of a student’s name and to include all students, regardless of their choice of attire.

“We wish all graduates of Springville High School and all schools throughout St. Clair County nothing but the best in their future endeavors.

Gerelds says that she shared her story in an effort to spread awareness of the incident, rather than to get anybody in trouble.

“I didn’t want to cause trouble at school. I also did not mean any harm by my tweet,” she says. “I want everyone to be educated on the incident so this will never happen to another student again. I hope people look at my story and stick up for themselves, too.”

August 26: The night the lights go on at Hulu. The streaming service has announced that it has picked up the rights to the classic comedy Designing Women, which ran on CBS from 1986 to 1993, and will bring the tales of the Sugarbaker women online for the first time. The series, created by Linda Bloodworth-Thomason, follows Julia Sugarbarker (Dixie Carter), who runs a design firm out of her home in Atlanta alongside her beauty-queen sister Suzanne (Delta Burke), head designer Mary Jo (Annie Potts), and the naïve Charlene (Jean Smart), who all also needle and get advice from the handyman Anthony Bouvier (Meshach Taylor).

All 163 episodes of the series, filled with witty, baroque southern dialogue, will go online on August 26, which, fittingly, is Women’s Equality Day. Meanwhile, if that inspires you to get excited about the Sugarbakers, as of last year, ABC was developing a sequel to the series. It’s enough to make you wish giant shoulder pads would come back into style.

And I can't wait!

From Tatum O'Neal book : A paper life

Angelica seemed to be out of the picture now, and my father was seriously womanizing. He and Diana Ross were slated to do a movie together called The Bodyguard (which was canceled and later made with Kevin Costner and Whitney Houston as the stars). They began having an affair, and once again, I found myself in the role of my father's call screener.

"Tatum, hi,"Diana would say, in a very sweet voice. "Is your daddy home?"Whenever she called—which was often—I was supposed to lie and say that he was out. That made me feel terrible because she seemed so nice. She wasn't hanging around the house, so I didn't actually meet her until the late 1970s, when she came with my father to the set of my next movie, Little Darlings.

Diana Ross's visits to the set were a highlight. She was like a queen—and very much in love with my father. She even wanted to marry him.

He claimed that he didn't like her because she would never let him see her without makeup. He cruelly mistreated her, and eventually they split up.

One of the worst plane crashes in US history-

You may be humbled by the number of people, the sheer horror, and at how time marches on-

Rest in peace. And I hope these souls are all reincarnated, healthy, and filled with joy-

My long-term relationship is about to end and I am, frankly, very anxious. It's been a while since I've been single and the thought rather terrifies me. I'd love to hear more about how you single people enjoy your life, why you like it more than being in a relationship, and maybe even some tips about how to cope.

R1, I am counting on you to mock me. But some helpful posts would be very soothing. Thanks.

President Donald Trump ridiculed the physical appearance of a man in the crowd of his Keep America Great rally in Manchester, New Hampshire, on Thursday night, telling the guy and everyone watching at home that he had a “serious weight problem” and should get some exercise.

Midway through a rally that had already featured him claiming that the stock market would crash if he weren’t re-elected, Trump’s typically off-the-rails speech was interrupted by demonstrators, and an apparent Trump supporter got up and grabbed a banner from their hands.

Trump, appearing only to spot the general commotion, saw the apparent supporter in the melee and the president took some potshots at the man after it seems he wrongly identified him as a protester.

“That guy has got a serious weight problem,” Trump yelled. “Go home, get some exercise!”

After demanding security escort the man out of the arena, the president appeared briefly self-conscious before returning to his taunts: “Got a bigger problem than I do. Got a bigger problem than all of us. Now he goes home and his mom says, ‘What the hell have you just done?’”

The Daily Mail identified the man who Trump mistakenly identified as a protester as Frank Dawson, and reported that he had no ill will toward Trump. “Everything’s good!” Dawson told Fox News. “I love the guy! He’s the best thing that ever happened to this country.” Trump also reportedly called and left a voice message for Dawson.

The interruption appeared to be led by a group of three young people holding two banners reading “Jews Against the Occupation,” according to a report from The Washington Post.

The organization behind the protest, IfNotNow, also told The Daily Beast that Trump's comments were directed at an individual who was shoving their members after they began chanting “Jews will not be used.”

Trump’s public critique of the man’s physical fitness comes after Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang made headlines Thursday for savagely ripping the president’s own athletic ability.

“I challenge Donald Trump to any physical or mental feat under the sun,” Yang said at an event in Iowa this week. “I mean, gosh, what could that guy beat me at, being a slob?”

He continued: “Like, what could Donald Trump possibly be better than me at? An eating contest? Like something that involved trying to keep something on the ground and having really large body mass? Like, if there was a hot-air balloon that was rising and you needed to try and keep it on the ground, he would be better than me at that? Because he is so fat.”

Miss Lindsay is well-armed.

And the reclusive Barron is seen fot the first tine in months.

I was puzzled all week.

For the life of me, I couldn't understand why I suddenly had trouble getting sound sleep.

Entering my house, still baffled, it hit me. Last week I replaced my thicker, more cushiony mattress pad with a cheap, thin one because the thicker one was worn out. I didn't know it was cheap and thin until I got home and then I was too lazy to take it back.

I don't have the receipt.

"After All"- the theme song to "Chances Are"- made a bigger impact than the movie, and was nominated for an Academy Award and Golden Globe for best original song.

Cybill Shepherd is only sixteen years older than Mary Stuart Masterson, who plays her daughter in "Chances Are."

The on-screen chemistry of Cybill Shepherd and Robert Downey, Jr. reflected an off-screen rapport that developed as Shepherd helped Downey ease into his role. Downey said, "Cybill helped me to take my time at what I was doing. She taught me that I didn't have to be talking every minute, 'It's alright if you just look at me for five seconds and don't say anything."

I went to to a pro football game over the weekend, and I couldn't believe the number of closet cases I saw, all rubbing up against each other, "bro hugging," and touching.

It made me laugh at these closet queens, because I guess in some strange universe, they actually thought that they were fooling people. Maybe they were.

The fact of the matter, is that it was painfully obvious to me how attracted these GAY-DUDEBROS were to each other. Pretending that they were just "homies," when in fact, they wanted to suck each others' cocks.

With the added element of alcohol, they had no inhibition. They were hugging, and groping, and feeling each other up. And their girlfriends were completely clueless.

It just made me wonder... where else do these creeps get their rocks off?

Loras Tyrell in Game of Thrones and Iron Fist in the Netflix Marvel shows. He is said to be a nice guy and seemed to be on good terms with most of the GoT cast, especially close to Alfie Allen, Gethin Anthony, Oona Chaplin and Gwendoline Christie amongst others. He did develop a bit of a reputation for partying while he was on GoT and was rumoured to have had some issues with drugs in the past. There was gossip about some people on GoT having to do an intervention on him some time during the filming of season four because it had become a problem for him.

While he has had girlfriends in the past, and was recently seeing a female photographer (the woman with dark hair who is in a few of his Instagram posts from April and May) I think he is likely bi for a number of reasons. He has talked about sexuality not being a “duality” and said that people are much more “varied” than that. He has also made mention in interviews about his life and his Thrones character’s life beginning to “merge” as time went by. There is a video on YouTube of him at a convention a couple of years ago talking in a cryptic way about how “certain things start to imitate art and art starts to imitate life” as time went by, which seemed to imply something about his personal life. So while I think his interest in women is genuine, I think he has most likely been with men too. Anyone got any more concrete information on this?

In terms of acting, he is not currently working on anything as far as I know. He was in LA from late June to mid July and posted a couple of Instagram stories of himself working out, so I think he was looking for work but didn’t get the impression that he succeeded in getting any acting jobs while he was there. I wonder if him getting fired from that pilot he was briefly cast in back in March is going to have any longer term repercussions. The reports at the time said he had been offered the role without having to read for it, but when the producers saw him perform at the first table read, they quickly changed their minds. Have to feel that is going to make others very cautious about hiring him in future, at least without a thorough audition first. I hope things improve for him, but not sure where his career is going to go from here.

Anyone heard any gossip about him, who he might have hooked up with, or any other interesting stories?

Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera, both key figures in the gay liberation movement, will be honored with a permanent installation in Greenwich Village.

Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera, pioneering transgender activists who were at the vanguard of the gay rights movement, will be immortalized in a monument that may be placed down the street from the Stonewall Inn, the city said on Wednesday.

“The L.G.B.T.Q. movement was portrayed very much as a white, gay male movement,” Ms. McCray said. “This monument counters that trend of whitewashing the history.”

I REPEAT, PEOPLE. GMAIL IS DOWN!

What does DL think about this kid? I'd only vaguely heard of her through Twitter, now I'm reading her Wiki and she sounds kind of insufferable. I'm all for saving the environment, but is this brat skipping school to sail around on a yacht actually helping anyone or anything?

London (CNN) -- Environmental campaigners have accused the Duke and Duchess of Sussex of hypocrisy by after the couple used private jets to fly to the south of France and Ibiza in two trips just days apart.

I smoked in college. Mostly when out with friends but, in the end, I'd smoke whenever and often. It's been nearly 15 years since I quit and I haven't missed it a day. Except the last year, when I've found myself in social circles with monied, successful, traveled, interesting people,, casually smoking as if it were the early 1990s. I've been smoking a cigarette a night on Friday and Saturday nights when I'm around these smokers, and I look forward to it each week.. Is there a threshold for when the real damage occurs? I really enjoy it and would do it every day if there were no health consequences.

He was everywhere now he's nowhere.

This letter was written by my Mom in Brooklyn to my Dad in the South Pacific. He was fighting the “Japs”. Read it, it’s like she lived in a foreign country.

His first tour had been to the Mediterranean where his ship was sunk by a U-boat. He was picked up by a British tug and brought to Gibraltar, where he held up the war whilst they found size 12 boots for him. God bless the Brits!

After beating Hitler, he sailed to the Pacific to settle things there.

This letter is of a time and place. Mom is adorable. Dad was at Iwo Jima and Okinawa. He was among the first US ships to enter Nagasaki Harbour after the surrender. He said the locals were terrified of the tall Americans, due to wartime propaganda.

I remember him still having nightmares about the Japanese, in his 80s!

[quote]“The Glamour and Romance of Oscar de la Renta” will make its debut at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, this weekend — but we’re told its main curator, former Vogue editor-at-large André Leon Talley, made the exhibit a nightmare for staffers, demanding that nobody look him in the eye and even making one ­employee cry. “André is being a diva to everyone,” says one incensed source. “He has been at odds with curator Cindi Strauss, telling her what to do — while he rides around the entire museum in his motorized wheelchair. It got so bad he even made her cry . . . yes, CRY.”

[quote]The source continued, “He instructed the museum staff not to look him in the eyes. Even the people working alongside him . . . The funny thing was that most people at the museum had no clue who he was.”

I’ve used an iPad for a few years, and until the upgrade a few weeks ago, I never knew I had any W&Ws. They were not visible on an iPad. Now, I see that I get them all the time. People are quite generous with them. I’ve started clicking on them myself for others now, too, since I see how they work. It’s nice feedback.

I just discovered today that if you click on the red coloured authenticated names, you get a peek at the person’s permanent record. It’s also a handy way to see only the threads that YOU created, which I don’t think you can find another way. It was a feature that I thought was lacking.

Good job, Muriel! I will send you a cookie through inter office mail.

If all is equal why don’t we throw some fat, “body positive” men into fashion ads?

Is it still worth doing this? I have a shit ton of books inherited from 3 households as well as my own. Many are out of print and not available as an eBook but it would all depend on whether anyone would want to buy them or not I suppose.

Interesting. He got caught of in the Stonewall Riots. Wasn't actually in Stonewall when they raided, but joined in.

[quote]Van Ronk was among 13 people arrested at the Stonewall Inn June 28, 1969—the night of the Stonewall Riots, which is widely credited as the start of the gay rights movement.

[quote] The police slapped and punched Van Ronk to the point of near unconsciousness, handcuffed him to a radiator near the doorway, and decided to charge him for assault.

[quote] Recalling the expanding riot, Van Ronk said, "There were more people out there [outside the building] when I came out than when I went in. Things were still flying through the air, cacophony—I mean, just screaming and yelling, sirens, strobe lights, the whole spaghetti."

[quote] The next day, he was arrested and later released on his own recognizance for having thrown a heavy object at a police officer.[13] City records show he was charged with felony assault in the second degree[14] and pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of harassment, classified in 1969 as a violation under pL 240.25.

After 12 years together and two babies, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Lauren Hashian have made it official.

The Hobbs & Shaw actor, 47, shared two photos from their gorgeous wedding along the water in Hawaii. “We do,” he wrote alone with Sunday’s date. He added, “Pōmaikaʻi (blessed).”

In the photos, credited to Hiram Garcia, Johnson — who spent his high school years in Hawaii and has a strong attachment to the state, visiting the Thirty Meter Telescope protesters in July — are holding hands as she hoists her bouquet in the air. In another, he’s dipping her and giving her a kiss as her veil blows to the side.

Hashian, 34, wore a beautiful, form-fitting lace gown with a v-neck front. Johnson also went light, wearing a white button-down shirt — with several buttons undone — and off-white pants. He accessorized with leis.

Congrats have been flowing in for the longtime pair, who met in Boston on the set of his movie 2007 The Game Plan and have two daughters — Jasmine, 3 and Tiana, 1 — together. (The Rock also has daughter Simone, 18, with his first wife and business partner, Dany Garcia.) Among the well-wishers were his frequent co-star Kevin Hart as well as NFL star Tom Brady.

As the couple welcomed kids over the last few years, Johnson was asked over and over again when his wedding would take place. He said the pregnancies postponed their plans as, “Mama [doesn’t want] to take pictures being pregnant in a wedding dress.”

And while Johnson is a workaholic, doing project after project (and logging those workouts), his love and family are always number one.

“I’ve got a lot of things happening in my life, and I’ve been so lucky and fortunate to be blessed with a lot of things,” he’s said. “The relationship part to me is my most prized thing. The people in my life. I’ve learned the power that we have to make other people happy and content in a relationship. And I have the love of my life, Lauren... I wake up every day so grateful and so thankful that I have someone like that, someone that you can walk through this world with.”

Ariana Grande has always sounded more or less ghetto. The way she sings is overly breathy and lispy. Her enunciation of the English language is so sloppy that I have to strain to hear what she’s saying, and even then, I can’t understand everything she’s saying.

Sam Smith sings like he has his mouth full of food.

Billie Ellish completely mumbles. Why?

Taylor Swift originally sang with nice clean English, but over the last few years, her pronunciation of English has started to sound more ghetto. Listen to her sing her song “Delicate” for example.

Is it their personal artistic choice, or are they being directed to sound that way by their producers? Why? These singers all sound like they’re bran damaged!

Can all the pop singers return to singing clean, standard unaffected English, please?

Former child star Alexander Polinsky has retained attorney Lisa Bloom to represent him in his fight against Scott Baio, who he claims sexually abused him on the set of their ’80s sitcom “Charles in Charge.”

Polinsky is the second Baio accuser to emerge following “Charles in Charge” star Nicole Eggert, who has also alleged Baio sexually abused her as a minor. Eggert is also represented by Bloom.

Polinsky will break his silence on Wednesday during a press conference to describe the sexual harassment and abuse he claims he endured at the hands of Baio. Eggert will also attend the press conference to give a short statement.

What are some that represent (or not) your city, hometown, state, or even nation? I'm sure there will be a slew of New Yorkers or NYC residents who have tons of examples. I live in SF so there are also some interesting choices for me to choose from. A little before my time but I think Dirty Harry and What's Up Doc were interesting glimpses of SF back in the '70s. Vertigo is a classic. Then there's Mrs. Doubtfire, and some other famous action or suspense flicks such as The Rock. I think the most recent movie I'd seen taking place in SF was Blue Jasmine. Of course there's Full House for tv show but then it never really showed anything special about living in SF aside from the opening credits. But hey at least it wasn't as unbelievable as Friends with those spacious apartments being oh so affordable.

Would make ya gape for sure.

In the back of my mind, I have ideas for several books. I’d like to bring at least one of them to fruition and at least try to get something published. What are your experiences with writing and publishing?

I read that he expresses remorse for the murders and is now a Born-Again Christian, and married with three kids.

I find it fascinating how he did not have to testify with the other 3 and he wasn’t convicted for over two years after the murder. He also made himself sound like a mindless follower of Manson etc. interesting.

He’s up for another Parole hearing in 2021.

I've always loved him.

I'm midway through Kate Atkinson's spy thriller "Transcription," and it's the best page-turner she's ever written. Much more compelling than her mystery novels or her more serious novels.

"I feel like this has put a complete downer on my wedding and honeymoon experience!"

Starring Lin-Manuel Miranda, James McAvoy, Dafne Keen, Ruth Wilson, Ian Gelder, Clarke Peters, Georgina Campbell, Ariyon Bakare. Based on the fantasy novels by Philip Pullman, adapted by Jack Thorne (Harry Potter and the Cursed Child), first two episodes directed by Tom Hooper (The King’s Speech).

[quote]Dafne Keen (“Logan”) plays Lyra, the precocious girl at the center of the story, whose adventures with a truth-telling device called the alethiometer bring her into contact with her mysterious Uncle Asriel (McAvoy), a terrifying woman named Mrs. Coulter (Wilson) and a strange phenomenon called Dust. On her journey from Oxford to London and beyond, Lyra meets charismatic aeronaut and adventurer Lee Scoresby (Miranda).

Eight episodes. Principal photography on the show has begun in Cardiff. New Line Cinema’s first foray into British television.

Did that really happen? Any eldergays here with first-hand knowledge??

Set 25 years after the end of the first show.

With songs like...

Open a New Pillbox I Don't Remember Christmas If He Walked Into My Ward and of course, Maim.

Wanking on Chaturbate. Well his dick is quite big, firm and smooth looking.

Do dicks age slower than the rest of our parts?

He's not the building Super. He's the super's assistant (?) and he's a cute piece of rough trade. I've crushed on him ever since I moved into my building. Now he's here, alone, working on my leaky ceiling....What are my moves??

Are they as fabulous as I've been lead to believe?

[quote]CNN will host a Democratic presidential town hall in September focused on the climate crisis.

[quote]The event will take place on Wednesday, September 4, in New York City. CNN is inviting candidates who meet the Democratic National Committee's polling threshold for the September primary debate to participate, meaning they've reached at least 2% in four approved polls by August 28. Eight candidates so far have met the polling threshold [Biden, Booker, Buttigieg, Harris, Klobuchar, O'Rourke, Sanders, and Warren].

[quote]The climate town hall will follow a similar format to ones CNN held earlier this year in Austin, Texas, Manchester, New Hampshire, and Washington, DC, in which Democratic candidates appeared back-to-back across the course of the evening.

Starring Ben Platt, Gwyneth Paltrow, Zoey Deutch, Lucy Boynton, January Jones, Dylan McDermott

With Judith Light, Bette Midler AND Jessica Lange

Desperate for money, the former reality star is selling everything.

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. - An Alabama man and his girlfriend have been convicted of raping the man’s 11-year-old son because he thought the boy might be gay.

Sean Brandon Cole, 29, and Khadeijah Moore, 21, both of Huntsville, were each convicted Tuesday of rape, sodomy and the sexual abuse of a child under the age of 12, AL.com reported. They each face life in prison, and sentencing is set for May 24.

Moore, who failed to show up for the trial, is considered a fugitive after the trial judge issued a warrant for her arrest Monday at the start of the proceedings.

Obviously, this thread is aimed at fellow elders.

A group of radical Chinese nationalists were filmed practicing nazism in Vancouver, Canada after sending gun threats to the pro-Hong Kong rally. A video of the nationalists marching to the Chinese national anthem with Nazi salute was then uploaded online.

Two survivors of the Pulse nightclub, Luis Javier Ruiz and Angel Colon, say that they’re no longer gay and will participate in the Sept. 14 Freedom March, an event organized an anti-gay Christian group that believes God can turn “free” people from being queer. Worse yet, they’re marching in Florida, about 10 minutes away from where the 2016 shooting occurred.

brains, body and face!

It looks like it’s a pretty patriotic-oriented affair, though I hear Brexit opponents and proponents use the occasion to protest.

What’s it like in person, if you’ve ever been?

Mine is Pia Zadora starring in a stage production of The Diary of Anne Frank as the title character, a production bankrolled by her rich husband Meshulam Riklis. According to legend, the production was so bad that during the climactic moment when the Nazis raid the Frank house, an audience member so exasperated by the terrible production and Zadora's even worse performance, shouted "She's in the attic!"

I laugh whenever I think of this story. And now I picture that audience member as a DL eldergay who takes his theatre seriously.

September 27th on Netflix.

After three short days of “wedded bliss” a young Iowa woman went from bride to widow after her husband tragically drowned while on their honeymoon.

“Yesterday afternoon while at the beach the Lord decided to call my husband Dalton to come home to him,” Cheyenne Hedrick, 22, said of the incident on Facebook.

After tying the knot on Saturday in Kansas City, Missouri, Dalton Cottrell, 22, and Hedrick celebrated their union with a trip to Florida.

The newlyweds were enjoying a swim at Crescent Beach in St. Augustine on Tuesday when a strong current swept them deeper into the ocean.

As the water got stronger, Hedrick told police that Dalton “began to struggle,” KCRG-TV reported.

“She attempted to assist him, but was unable to help him due to him pulling her under,” police said in a statement, KCRG-TV reported.

“She advised at one point after him being under the water for approximately for a minute he came back up, and his eyes were rolled in the back of his head,” police said.

A St. Johns County lifeguard, a nearby paddleboarder and a man named William David Foy swam out to the couple and brought Dalton back to safety on the board, police said, CNN reported.

When they reached the shore, the lifeguard attempted CPR on him. However, it was too late as Dalton underwent cardiac arrest. He was transported to Flagler Hospital where he was pronounced dead, police said, according to CNN.

The St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.

Hedrick wrote on Facebook, “3 days of wedded bliss turned into a nightmare very quickly for the Cottrell family as well as mine own.”

“There is so much fear and uncertainty coursing through myself. My parents came down early this morning to be with me as I begin this next journey,” she continued.

“Never did I think at 22 would I be a wife and then a widow so quickly. Please pray for I and all families as we grief [sic],” she wrote.

Hedrick did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.

At this time, the family has not yet made funeral arrangements.

A GoFundMe has been created in hopes of raising money for Dalton’s memorial.

Prior to his death, Dalton had dreams of becoming a pastor.

Faith Bible College, where he was a Pastoral Training major, has issued a statement following news of his sudden death. Hedrick was also a student at the college and had recently completed her junior year.

The institution will be hosting a prayer and memorial on Tuesday night.

For Dr. Jim Tillotson, president of Faith Bible College, Dalton’s death is especially hard: “Having just lost my mom a few weeks ago due to an accident, it was not advice that I needed but love, prayers and support. I would like to encourage Eagle Nation to pray for, love, and support both Cheyenne and Dalton’s family. Let’s go heavy on love and light on advice.”

A million ethnic minority Uighurs have been detained in “re-education camps.” Here, three young people recall how their parents vanished.

(You'll note that the Woke Left are remarkably silent on this, despite the fact that the Uighers are all Muslim. Because those devious Chinese are presumed to be uncivilized savages who don't know better and who are we as white people to question them. But our fellow white Europeans in Israel should know better than to be mean to Muslims, even Muslims who want to kill them.)

In the video Op-Ed above, three Chinese citizens whose parents disappeared demand their release from China’s “re-education camps.” The government is estimated to have detained over one million people. The goal: to force China’s Uighur ethnic minority to assimilate.

China’s decades-long campaign against the Uighur minority has surged in recent years through the construction of hundreds of detention camps. Even outside of detention centers, millions of Uighurs in China’s Xinjiang region live in a virtual prison. The surveillance state deploys sophisticated technology, including facial recognition tracking, compulsory apps that monitor mobile phones, and even DNA collection.

China has justified its actions as a fight against religious extremism within the predominantly Muslim ethnic minority. The state has also defended the camps as “boarding schools” for job retraining. Yet community leaders, including secular citizens and academics, have been targeted for detention.

The international community has widely condemned China’s actions. The United States Congress is considering legislation to do so. And, in late July, China claimed to have released most detainees — yet experts and on-the-ground reporting suggest that the detention camps persist, and are even expanding.

Biden is first 23%, Pete is second with 18%, Warren 3rd with 15%, Harris fourth with 11%, Bernie fifth with 8%

Will & Grace stars Debra Messing and Megan Mullally have hinted a cast feud could be responsible for the show being cancelled at the end of its 11th season.

The actresses - who play Grace Adler and Karen Walker on the rebooted NBC sitcom - stirred suspicion among fans after they unfollowed each another on Instagram.

Megan, 60, later posted cryptic messages about 'people who aren't good for you'.

The co-stars were notably missing from each other's list of followers on Tuesday, after Megan penned a now-deleted Instagram story about feeling 'the best' now she's lost her 'attachment to somebody'.

Megan wrote: 'One of the best feelings is finally losing your attachment to somebody who isn't good for you!'

In addition, she posted: 'Don't ask people for directions if they've never been where you're going!'

Debra, meanwhile, uploaded a post a few weeks ago, urging fans to vote for Will & Grace for the Emmys, but failed to tag Megan.

She tagged everyone in the post - including the series' director James Burrows and co-creator Max Mutchnick - except the actress.

Those that noticed took to Instagram and Twitter to share their concerns over the matter.

I consider the recordings of this musical some of the most joyous and catchy music I've ever heard in a musical (but don't get me started on the Broadway revival from a few years back where the songs all had altered arrangements.) I'm an atheist and I still love it.

The movie though, suffers a bit. What was the reaction to the film when it came out? Seems like the nutty, happy-go-lucky clowns would work better on stage. But Lynne Thigpen knocks it out of the park with "Bless the Lord" and it's a great look at 70s New York.

Meh.

There was another thread about this, but I can't find it.

I just peeked at my work email. BAD FUCKING IDEA. My boss cooked up a ton of ideas over the weekend, and the deadlines are basically impossible. Tomorrow is going to suck even harder than usual.

Spill the goss!!

Please .... Pretty

The thread is about an incident yesterday in Portland, where members of the American Guard, a violent right-wing group whose members have already participated in terrorist attacks, climbed out of their vehicle at the light and attacked leftist protesters with hammers without any provocation. Antifa members managed to grab a hammer from one of the attackers and lashed back. Ngo posted a video showing only that last part, clearly to inflame right-wing victimism, but there is longer footage of the incident in the thread.

I grew up in Chicago. I went to a pediatrician who molested me. He would ask me to touch his penis and jerk it off. Once there was a little girl also in the office. My brother recently told me he was molested too, which is likely what is causing his depression.

I remember telling my parents about it but they didn’t believe me, and it was never brought up again.

The pediatrician died years ago. There must have been so many others treated the same way by him.

I feel I need to do something. I don’t want money or recognition. Should I create some sort of social media page for his victims to come together. Should I tell his kids, who I know are on Facebook?

I need some sort of closure (or is it revenge)?

(CNN)The Florida man who fatally shot an unarmed black man last summer outside a grocery store, sparking a nationwide debate on the state's "stand your ground" law, is set to stand trial on Monday for manslaughter.

The case dates to last July when Michael Drejka, then 47, got into an argument with Britany Jacobs, then 24, who was parked in a handicapped-accessible spot outside a grocery store, the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office said. Markeis McGlockton, Jacobs' 28-year-old boyfriend, and their 5-year-old son Markeis Jr. were inside the Clearwater, Florida, store at the time. McGlockton then went outside, walked over to Drejka and forcibly pushed him, causing him to fall to the ground.

Maybe if people like McGlockton realized that they can't just go around attacking others, these things wouldn't happen.

The Jerusalem Post reports:

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s wife, Sara Netanyahu, was furious after not being welcomed on the speakerphone on a plane by the captain of an El Al flight to Ukraine, according to Channel 12’s report on Sunday.

Netanyahu rose from her seat and angrily requested to enter the cockpit, but the security guards prevented her from doing so. After a while, the captain of the plane spoke again on the loudspeaker and welcomed her.

El Al said in response to the news: “The prime minister’s flight went according to plan. We were pleased to host the prime minister and Mrs. Netanyahu on our flight to Ukraine.”

The Daily Beast reports:

The prime minister’s office gave a watered down denial of the events. “This is a distorted publication. There was a misunderstanding which was immediately clarified and the flight went according to plan,” Netanyahu’s office said without clarifying what the misunderstanding was.

“The story about the security guards, as well, is a total lie. It is another attempt to divert attention from the important international visit that the prime minister carried out.”

Sara Netanyahu has a famously violent temper. Earlier this summer she pleaded guilty to fraud after ordering hundreds of expensive catered meals and charging them to the state.

Honestly, I agree with 11. I see outdated mentalities on here too often.

“We love everybody, but let's be real: Baby Boomers can be a lot. And I've noticed that Millennials are pretty fed up...”

1- With the lack of tech skills

2- And lack of lingo knowledge

3- With “when I was your age” moments

4- With questions like this ...

Today a Baby Boomer asked me how lesbians have sex.

I am not, nor have I ever been lesbian, but I took a certain pleasure in seeing her expression as I explained the different toys and ways women have intercourse. +

5- With judgment

Today a baby boomer said “that’s sad!” when I was using my phone calculator to add the correct tip to my bill and now I’m “sad!” I didn’t round house kick him in the balls

6- With ignorance

Yesterday a baby boomer said to me (word for word) while I was serving her “there’s nothing we can do about climate change so we might as well enjoy the warm weather”

7- With brattiness

yesterday at work a baby boomer got mad that we didn’t have clam chowder he didn’t even ask for and was like “wah wah there’s something wrong with your generation” & then dissambled a whole sandwich on a table and left. first of all u ruined the economy, & second of all, gerald,

8- With unnecessary pieces about Millennials

9- With dumb statements

Another baby boomer at work looked at the tattoo on my arm and said “you know those are permanent right” and i said no

10- With unrealistic job advice

Baby boomers: Why don't you just call/drop in and see if they're hiring??

Job descriptions: do NOT call this office or so help me god I will cut your head off and dropkick it through your mother's front window you fucking animals

11- With outdated mindsets

Boomers: I heard she went to *looks around nervously* *whispers* ᵀʰᵉʳᵃᵖʸ

Millennials/Gen Z: LMAOOOO YALL GUESS WHAT MY THERAPIST TOLD ME TODAY

12- With unfair expectations

baby boomers: millennials are SO ENTITLED!

also baby boomers: hey can you work on your day off and do something that is out of your job description but we wont pay you for the extra work pwetty pwease hehe now look at MY SON'S BABY PICTURES

13- With bad manners

*Baby boomer walks in at work* Me: hi how’s it going today? Him: small basket Me: sure thing, paying with cash or card? Him: *waves card* Me: enjoy, have a good night Him: ... But sure it’s young people that are the rude ones

14- With rude emails

15- And finally, with mansplaining

Someone just mansplained Google Translate to me. Does Google have a translate function for telling a baby boomer "Yes I know what I'm doing, I've been using this technology since I was 9."

Betty tells about her 1989 small Penn. town encounter with 2 friends.

I'm a little behind. I'm in my 30s and have never worn a cologne. I know this is so subjective, but I'd still like to hear what your favorite men's colognes are. There's someone in my apartment building who wears this intoxicating cologne that has just the right mix of earthiness and freshness and muskiness. I've actually never seen him, but I've happened to catch the elevator shortly after him a few times when a hint of the scent lingered.

Dior's Sauvage sounds like it might be what I'm looking for...

[quote]Nothing is as balanced but pronounced as Sauvage, Dior’s pride and joy. It’s a recipe of contrasts: Crisp bergamot and spicy pepper top notes announce the scent, followed by floral, amber, vanilla, and cedar for a strong but well-rounded finish. And it plays a long game: Sauvage lasts all day, and it wears well in every season.

I detest the K12 commercial with the young girl with the whiny voice who likes K12 because she gets to spend more time with her family and can practice ballet.

Were they spies or did they solve murders or something? The only thing I can really remember about the show is the theme song and that gruff guy doing the voice over.

I have been looking for something light and mineral for my face. Suggestions?

"We don't speak on a regular basis, but I love her. I've never gotten over the crush I had on her then. She is still the woman of my dreams." - on Winona Ryder

"I've gotten to know myself over the years, I realized I'm kind of a sweet, sensitive guy, a shy guy, and communication is not something I'm so good at."

"I was a shy, quiet kid. I was happiest playing by myself with my toys, rather than hanging around people."

"I thought I'd get over being insecure if I became famous, but it hasn't happened. It just gets worse, really. You get more and more on edge, more nervous. These are all the things I'm dealing with. You think if you get famous, fear will go away and problems will go away. But they don't."

"I have that glass-half-empty syndrome, and it takes a great deal of effort to climb out of the hole of darkness that I choose to live in mentally."

I saw her going through the discounted dented can cart at a D'Agostino in NYC in 1975. She needed to save a few pennies.

I saw a documentary about this guy a few years ago.

He was somewhere between a spree killer and a serial killer (I think he killed six people in a month). On one level he was a monster, but he was also a seriously ill schizophrenic, and he should have been institutionalized. His behavior was utterly bizarre in the years leading up to the murders.

Weird/sad case.

Watch with volume up for her commentary.

We're two weeks away from the premiere. Any salacious tidbits on the cast that you'd like to share? Yes, I know that there was another thread, but thanks to the new search engine, I can't find it.

Today at the beach, there was a muscular, great looking guy wearing a speedo; he earned the right to wear it. He was gorgeous. The speedo sat so low on his hips, half (?) of his bush was out in the open above it. It was full, too.

Is this legal at a recreational spot? Are pubes considered offensive and warrant a policeman's visit if they are seen?

I didn't mind. I enjoyed the view. I just wonder if anyone else around could bring it to the attention of the "authorities".

Should they be?

Do NOT come into this thread if you are planning to see the movie or if there is any chance of you seeing the movie.

Wake up Dems. Fight on multiple fronts. Don't whine it can't be done. That's not the point. Learn to take the offensive.

My goal today is to infuse one batch of olive oil with basil, and a different batch with garlic, and have it taste good, really good.

I've done this before by googling, with mixed results.

I've simmered basil in the olive oil, for instance, but it doesn't come out as fragrant as I've had at restaurants.

So I'm asking you. Thanks.

Make sure to tune in to Kelly and Tori’s big comeback!

Conservative Ross Douthat has some guesses.

"First, the easy part: Donald Trump loses re-election. It will be ugly and flailing and desperate and — depending on recession-era geopolitics — potentially quite dangerous, but there is no way a president so widely disliked survives the evaporation of his boom. The rules of politics have changed, but they haven’t been suspended. Polarization will keep Trump from being defeated in a landslide, but not from being beaten handily, and in a recession the Democrats can nominate any of their candidates and expect to evict the president with ease."

I remember when it came out it was expected to make a shit ton of money because it starred two of the worlds biggest movie stars, Julia Roberts and Brad Pitt.

It ended up only earning $66 million domestically, making it a “flop”.

I always wondered why it didn’t do better.

Any gossip from the filming of this? Did Julia fuck Brad? I know she loved getting the hottest dick.

A thread dedicated to the Daily Mail's faithful chronicle of Jennifer Garner dragging her children to church.

It's a day of celebration for most! A day of mourning for others...

What is Juneteenth Day? Well...Juneteenth, also known as Juneteenth Independence Day or Freedom Day, is an American holiday that commemorates the June 19, 1865, announcement of the abolition of slavery in the U.S. state of Texas, and more generally the emancipation of enslaved African Americans throughout the former Confederate States of America.

Keep in mind that President Lincoln had already signed the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863 but a lot of people forgot to tell that slaves about that.

Anyway, its name is a portmanteau of "June" and "nineteenth", the date of its celebration. Juneteenth is recognized as a state holiday or special day of observance in 45 states. So, let us'ns observe and remember the history of this day and those who came before us.

Let us discuss this and also have a discussion about reparations.

What are your thoughts?

Quite the rise.

"Based on her 2013 one-woman stage play, Fleabag is up for 11 Emmys for its second season after being snubbed for its first go-around. The tally includes three for Waller-Bridge — for lead actress, writing and comedy series. And it's not even her only show in the running. As creator of Killing Eve, she's also up for best drama as executive producer on the second season of BBC America's slick spy thriller (after serving as showrunner on its first). Should she score a deuce — admittedly unlikely against HBO heavy hitters Game of Thrones and Veep — Waller-Bridge would join TV legend David E. Kelley, golden boy of the 1999 Emmys with The Practice and Ally McBeal, as the only person ever to sweep genres in the same year. Win or no, it's rarefied air for a woman who was virtually unknown in Hollywood just three years ago."

You know the types. Older women who always get the wry, cutting lines. This could be from any period, any genre. Two modern day classics are Lucille Bluth from Arrested Development and the Dowager Countess from Downton Abbey.

I'm not really looking for literary characters unless they're in films, tv shows, plays that are available to watch today.

For a long time, they were a byword for elegance in adaptation of classic novels from the 19th and early 20th century; then they became associated with a kind of sexless fustiness, and a literalness to the original novels being adapted. But their films are far better than that (pictured is [italic]The Europeans, [/italic] one of their finest but most underappreciated films).

I am sorry Merchant is dead and Ivory is too old to likely make more movies. They were intelligent and imaginative, and their films were sexier than most people remember. And they had superb performances: Lee Remick as the Baroness in [italic]The Europeans,[/italic] Vanessa Redgrave in [italic]The Bostonians,[/italic] Daniel Day-Lewis and Maggie Smith in [italic]A Room with a View,[/italic] Maggie Smith in [italic]Howards End.[/italic]

interesting year

A lot of reality shows of the previous decade probably wouldn't get made today. Which of these did you watch?

- "The Swan" — a team of plastic surgeons make over a frumpy woman in months of procedures, never letting her see a mirror until the "reveal." Most came out looking like fembot drag queens.

- "The Moment of Truth" — contestant hooked up to lie detector and forced to answer appalling personal questions to win money. It broke up at least one marriage.

- "Superstar USA" — a fake "American Idol" where delusional, terrible singers were advanced. Audiences at the final live show were told that the contestants were special needs and to cheer for them no matter what.

- "The Littlest Groom" — Basically "The Bachelor" with midgets.

I loved "The Swan."

I'm the faulty elevator.

UK Dlers - I'm in London this week on holiday and I have been MOST impressed by the many very handsome Brits I see on the street. I'm sure there are an equal number of "not so attractive" men in London - but, wow, I have seen any number of lookers. Any reaction?

I need to upgrade my 2012 MacBook Air and I’m really lost on the new Mac lineup. I also live in a rural area so I can’t go into an Apple Store or Best Buy to look at the computers in person.

Things I’m concerned about:

The butterfly keyboard—I’ll be using my laptop mostly for word processing and I’ve heard really bad things about this keyboard and lack of travel when you press on keys.

Ports—on my current MacBook Air, I really utilize the usb and sd card ports for additional storage space.

Also, I need something light weight and that has good cpu as I do moderate photoshopping on my current Mac.

Any suggestions?

[quote]Former Heathers star Melanie Field is set as a series regular in the limited series based on the sequel to author Caleb Carr’s best-selling The Alienist. In addition, newcomer Rosy McEwen is set for a recurring role.

[quote]The Alienist’s lead cast, including Daniel Brühl, Luke Evans, and Dakota Fanning, will return with a new storyline that finds Sara Howard (Fanning), who has opened her own private detective agency, enlisting the help of Dr. Laszlo Kreizler (Brühl) and John Moore (Evans) to hunt down an elusive killer.

[quote]A critical and ratings success, The Alienist was a top 10 cable drama, having reached more than 50 million people across multiple platforms. It earned six Emmy nominations, including Outstanding Limited Series.

Oral history from the man who led much of it, Peter Tatchell. Great interview.

The New York Times claims that scientists are planning experiments to prove that we are living in a simulated world, that our "world" is actually composed of simulated persons rather than real people.

Why would an advanced civilization create us as one version of a simulated world?

[quote]Think of it this way. If a researcher wants to test the efficacy of a new drug, it is vitally important that the patients not know whether they’re receiving the drug or a placebo. If the patients manage to learn who is receiving what, the trial is pointless and has to be canceled. In much the same way...if our universe has been created by an advanced civilization for research purposes, then it is reasonable to assume that it is crucial to the researchers that we don’t find out that we’re in a simulation.

[quote] If we were to prove that we live inside a simulation, this could cause our creators to terminate the simulation — to destroy our world.

What are the odds we are simulations rather than real people?

[quote] Elon Musk has said that the odds that we are not simulated are “one in billions.” Professor Smoot (physicist and Nobel laureate) estimates that the ratio of simulated to real people might be as high as 1,000,000,000,000 to 1.

[quote] If most people are simulations, Professor Bostrom concluded, the odds are good that we ourselves are simulations. Our world would be just one simulation of many, perhaps part of a research project created to study the history of civilization. As the physicist (and Nobel laureate) George Smoot has explained, “If you are an anthropologist/historian and want to understand the rise and fall of civilizations, then you will need to make very many simulations involving millions to billions of people.”

Did any of you elderbitches tap that back in the day?

He was dreamy.

Who are the hottest porn stars that are still alive, from the present or past... who rocked your world?

I’ll say Mark Dalton

She's from Augusta, Georgia but sounds like she's Audrey Hepburn or the Princess Royal.

WTF.

I am so hurt by this. We met at work about 6mos ago, he is a very kind and sensitive soul and always wears a saints medal. Our first night together he tacked hand towels over the picture of Jesus in his bedroom and took off his St Christopher medal before he would have sex with me. I am DEVASTATED and I don't know what to do. I really feel for him and he said he has strong feelings for me but he made me feel so rotten. Help!

My parents don’t understand, I was born a dog. I’ve always been a dog, just God made a mistake. I’ll be transitioning to a dog soon, wish me luck.

As a gay man, do you use lip balm? What brand do you use? Is there such a thing as lip balm trends? How often do you apply it, and do you do so in front of other people? Do you have different lip balms for different occasions? Do you prefer the stick lip balm, or the kind that requires you to dip a finger into it?

If you're straight, bi, or a Lesbian, please identify yourself as such so we know what we're dealing with. And if you're queer, nonbinary or "other", please go to Twitter or Reddit.

Such resolve!

Multiple pairs of little girls panties?

Trump mistook the supporter was a protester. He left the supporter a voicemail while on his way to play golf. Not to apologize, of course. To thank him for his support. Support says Trump is the best thing to happen to this country.

Wow.

Okay, he's in his 20s, but, seriously, wouldn't you think he was one of Rocco's friends? He's a talented dancer, but he's not even that attractive or has that amazing a body that you could justify it as a silly fling.

And, what if things go south? This dancer that's going to be on your tour is suddenly your ex, but still having to perform with you every night? Seems like a bad move.

But if she's enjoying it, I guess that's all that matters.

"True Love" was the kind of movie you discovered on cable, and has some decent acting performances - particularly by Ron Eldard and Annabella Sciorra.

Did you ever see this movie? What did you think of it?

This guys's incredibly cute, though seems to be a bit too much into religion for my taste.

My boy turns 33 today. How long do you think he can stay in the biz playing just bit parts? As long as he can can keep his youthful looks?

I suppose he will as he's fearless.

However, I imagine Trump could troll Biden so hard Biden will slug him.

The only ones whom I think you can fairly say truly hated fame are the ones who genuinely walked away from it when they were young for ever, like Deanna Durbin and Virginia Weidler. If Jodie Foster [italic]really[/italic] hated fame as much as she says, for example, she could easily retire on her earnings and stop making movies altogether (and would have done so long ago). Even Greta Garbo kept acting until she hit middle age, and even in retirement enjoyed being friends with wealthy depople and celebrities in Manhattan (she did not retire to a small town in Sweden, for example, and only hang out with ordinary people).

But I still think you can say that certain celebrities have bigger love/hate relationships with fame than others, and Jodie Foster would top the list. I would also include:

*Daniel Day-Lewis (has "retired" from acting once, and came back to act again, and has said he has retired a second time--but only in later middle age, and who knows if it will stick)

*Agnetha Fältskog from ABBA

*George Clooney

[QUOTE]Everyone knows the stereotype: You see an older guy with a younger man and think “Money,” “Stability,” or “That kid found himself a good top.” While those scenarios are not uncommon, there are also many misconceptions about samesex older/younger relationships

"Which one of you bitches is my mother?" was named one of the best lines in television history by TV Guide in 1993.

The two-part miniseries was one of the highest rated TV movies in 1984.

Phoebe Cates' layered, epic performance was one of her last.

Deborah Raffin replaced Bess Armstrong in role of Judy Hale in Lace 2 (1985).

What a perfect ass! I love his love of showing it off to us.

Smart business.

You know you would let him have his way with you.

Anyone know them? They live in the Catskills area of New York and have quite a few ventures going on between them - a motel, an RV park in the SoCal desert, and her wife’s art and jewelry. What are they like? I’ve been a huge B’s fan for decades and Kate has always been my fave.

What are some good examples of men being destroyed by overbearing women? Liberace and his helicopter mother comes to mind or Rob Kardashian and his whore mother & sisters.

Have you been hearin' the stories? They're goin' around.

BECAUSE YOU DESERVE MEDICARE SUPPLEMENTAL INSURANCE AND NOT JUST DURING OPEN ENROLLMENT!

BECAUSE YOU DESERVE NOT TO LOSE YOUR HOME PAYING HEALTH CARE BILLS!

BECAUSE YOU DESERVE A UNION THAT WILL FIGHT FOR YOU AND NOT PAY YOU A PITTANCE!

BECAUSE FUCK THE CEO BILLIONAIRES, THATS WHY. WE GOT PEOPLE STARVING AND THEY WANT THEIR 87TH YACHT, 23RD VACATION HOME, AND 1,889 DESIGNER PURSE THAT COSTS MORE THAN A CAR.

BECAUSE COMMUNISM FAILED IN RUSSIA BUT DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISM IS BETTER THAN UNBRIDLED CAPITALISM, THAT LEAVES THE 15 LIVING LIKE KINGS AND THE REST OF US LIVING LIKE DOGS

There are certain items that people simply don't need to buy. For example, we can take condiment packets, sugar etc from restaurants or workplaces. Same goes for napkins, toilet paper etc. Also, don't waste money on coffee only drink it at work or bring some of the packets from work, if you want to drink it at home.

SALT LAKE CITY — Ed Smart, the father of kidnapping survivor Elizabeth Smart, posted on social media Thursday that he is gay, divorcing his wife and doesn’t see a place for himself in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Charlie, the Datalounge poster. I like him. His remarks always enhance the conversation and I like learning details about the heyday of NYC.

Jennifer Gardner; Tammy Sedaris; Jerry Steinfield; Blake Lightley; and the Jones Brothers.

say no more mon amore

I’m on a mission of discovery, so tell me what gets you grooving.

My favourite is Currents by Tame Impala.

Are you pleased?

How true

Who would you cast?

I'm the frau arguing with the Southwest gate agent and holding up the line.

I always thought Mark and Jake were so cute and supportive and loving of each other, and I've enjoyed a number of their TV and indie film projects.

Has anyone wondered privately what it's really like to be on the "inside" of the talented Duplass Brothers?

My partner and I are considering opening up the relationship or at least doing it with someone else while also being there (none of that 'don't ask, don't tell' nonsense). I wanted to know if anybody on DL has engaged in swinging with other couples or actually cuckolding where your partner has sex with someone else, while you look on. I'd appreciate any input.

Looks like he's packin'

I may have to start watching football.

On Sonny’s Private island with Michael and Sasha?

Previous thread staled and I can no longer post in it.

4 hours of manipulative propaganda exposed in 30 mins. Aren't documentaries supposed to be researched before release?

Rack 'Em Up

Since I haven't been given any screen time in, well, forever, these days I've been reduced to hustling for my supper. Thank god I really know how to handle a stick! (at least that's what HE said...wink-wink!)
