His wife Eva Brown tested positive and never another word.

I still think Ishtar is really, really funny....it was a box office flop but I love it..

Which panned film do you love?

Are we positive she was actually born female? She was far more masculine looking than Woolf even. In virtually ever photo I've ever seen of her, she absolutely looks like a man in drag.

No video games! Just the regular kind you have to sit down at a table an play with other humans. I used to play them a lot when I was younger but then I kind of got out of the habit. In the past couple of years I've joined several local board game Meetup groups (including one LGBT one) and it's a lot of fun. Of course now with the lockdown, we're playing more "virtual" games online, but fortunately there are a lot of sites out there (Yucata, Board Game Arena, Tabletopia, Steam, Boites a Jeux) where you can play. Is anyone else playing online? Do you have any favorite games?

Quarantine Loads.

I had a friend how had cabinets made for his collect of over 1,000 dolls.

Gaga was getting too much attention.

Any guesses as to who is described in the clues below?

Poignant, bittersweet memories are ever-present all day.

This is riveting TV. boos, anger, strange spacey eyes (and an odd John Travolta presentation of course)

- allegedly designed by Inigo Jones (1573–1652). 10 reception rooms; 20 bedrooms with ensuite. Stables.

This is not a suitable topic for the decorative queens who sometimes stray into our deliberations. There is no decoration to fuss over, except perhaps the ceiling design which I love. The staircase is magnificent. The ivy has gone which is too bad; this was a house which in 1901 was the center of an estate consisting of seven productive farms - I assume they've gone too. The huntin', shootin' and fishin' rights are mentioned but I imagine are much reduced these days (if they still exist).

During this quarantine I started watching YouTube live cams of freighters and trains. For some reason they are very relaxing and interesting to me. I love watching the huge ships navigate rivers or a long train in the middle of nowhere. Anybody else enjoys these type of things?

Or maybe I’m just losing my mind?

Because... God DAMN, look at him!

Mayra Gavilanez-Alectus, a 48-year-old New Jersey woman, was arrested on by federal authorities and Houston police on Wednesday and charged with the murder of her wife.

Rebecca Gavilanez-Alectus, 32, was found dead on May 17 in a bedroom of the Brick, N.J., home she shared with her spouse. A "cylindrical container used for the purpose of chilling wine" was the murder weapon, according to officials

A warrant was quickly issued for Mayra's arrest and she was caught in Houston; police believe she fled to Texas on a bus. Gavilanez-Alectus is now in Harris County jail and will soon be extradited back to New Jersey.

Trump Sows Doubt on Voting. It Keeps Some People Up at Night.

A group of worst-case scenario planners — mostly Democrats, but also some anti-Trump Republicans — have been gaming out how to respond to various doomsday options for the 2020 presidential election.

By Reid J. Epstein

May 24, 2020

WASHINGTON — In October, President Trump declares a state of emergency in major cities in battleground states, like Milwaukee and Detroit, banning polling places from opening.

A week before the election, Attorney General William P. Barr announces a criminal investigation into the Democratic presidential nominee, Joseph R. Biden Jr.

After Mr. Biden wins a narrow Electoral College victory, Mr. Trump refuses to accept the results, won’t leave the White House and declines to allow the Biden transition team customary access to agencies before the Jan. 20 inauguration.

Far-fetched conspiracy theories? Not to a group of worst-case scenario planners — mostly Democrats, but some anti-Trump Republicans as well — who have been gaming out various doomsday options for the 2020 presidential election. Outraged by Mr. Trump and fearful that he might try to disrupt the campaign before, during and after Election Day, they are engaged in a process that began in the realm of science fiction but has nudged closer to reality as Mr. Trump and his administration abandon longstanding political norms.

...

WTF. He looks so damn sexy. Love the smile and giggle. Love that shirt on him. Love his haircut.

AM I IN HEAT?! WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?!

Nosferatus of dl please continue to share your predictions

The hosts of The View spent Friday morning giving Joe Biden some advice as he starts his search for what he has promised will be a female running mate. Meghan McCain had just one big warning: Don’t make the same mistake her father made in 2008.

Biden has been holding virtual live stream events with prospective VP picks, which Whoopi Goldberg fretted might look like a “reality show” competition. McCain explained that she is personally not a big fan of “chemistry tests.”

“Not to make this about me, but when I was originally offered the job on this show, they wanted to test me with a bunch of the ladies and I said, ‘No, you see what I can do,’” McCain revealed. As she explained it, she again refused to do a chemistry test a few years later and they hired her anyway. “I think vice presidential picks are the exact same way.”

Meghan McCain Blames Obama for ‘Ushering in’ Trump

She continued, “My father—and I know people get very triggered when I talk about him, so just bear with me—he chose an unorthodox running mate. He chose someone he hadn’t had a lot of experience with. In fact, I believe he only met Sarah Palin twice before announcing her as his vice presidential pick.”

On his deathbed, John McCain used both his final book and an HBO documentary about his life to say that one of his “biggest regrets,” in his daughter’s words, was choosing Palin over his friend Joe Lieberman.

Because of the times we’re living in now, Meghan McCain said that he “has to go with the person who is going to lead us out of this absolute epidemic, pandemic, generational crisis, because as far as I'm concerned, it's looking like it's going to get a whole lot worse before it gets better.”

She urged Biden to pick someone that he “trusts” as much as President Obama clearly trusted him, a point that Biden himself made during his interview with Stephen Colbert the night before.

Taking one last swipe at Palin, McCain said that treating the decision like a “beauty queen contest” and picking someone “who can perform the best in front of a camera for 20 minutes, is probably completely ill-suited for this time.”

Will DL Fave Miles finally come out now?

Each daughter of Czar Nicholas II and Alexandra Feodorovna more beautiful than the last. Rasputin! Terrible fate not fully resolved until 1980s. Funeral and burial in 1990s. Striking likeness to existing BRF members. Russian Crown jewels and their whereabouts. Site of their execution extant until 1977 (Ipatiev House) when Yeltsin (under pressure) ordered it demolished - and regretted it in his memoirs. Have at it DL - GO!

There, say it!

I listened to Jaime King on Illeana Douglas's movie podcast last week, and it was honestly difficult to listen to at times. You could tell she was straining her vocabulary to try and sound as intellectual and well-read as possible, but it was clear that she's not. Which other famous people do this? There has to be a lot of them.

I currently get HBO and HBO2 through AT&T TV Now.

What will we get with it?

First-time watcher, I've just started. The bitchy gay footman is already my favorite character

I was up in the north part of Central Park where there is a small man-made creek and waterfall. I wanted to take a photo of the waterfall with my phone so I waited for the woman sitting on the rock above the falls to move. After 10 minutes of waiting it was obvious she wasn’t going anywhere so I took the pic with her in it. I then immediately opened it in a photo editing and airbrushed the woman out. There was a young woman in black (wearing cat-like glasses) who was watching me the whole time. She said to me “excuse me, but it must be nice to have such power.”

“Excuse me?” I said, because I was completely confused on what she just said to me.

Then she explained, “it wasn’t enough that you felt that you could just steal a picture of that women without her consent. But now you’re LITERALLY erasing her. What power!”

I just walked away, what the fuck does someone even say in reply to something like that? Stupid cunt.

I have been watching this - it’s hysterical. Stars Billy Eichner (I forget if we love him) and has amazing guest cameos. Seth Meyers was on an asked Billy if he wanted to jerk off with him at a dog park; Mark Consuelos was on as a hot NJ gay guy and he and Billy kissed (not a stretch there) and so many others. The show is so good and so funny and very genius.

They seemed to start dating recently and they're hot.

Plus unlike some couples they don't look like twins!

He's been said to be feeling 'lost' in his new Stateside home, far from friends, family and his previous life, but Prince Harry has reportedly found a 'father figure' in California.

According to the Duchess of Sussex's close friend, Katharine McPhee, Harry has become close to her husband, David Foster.

'My husband has a really, really beautiful relationship with Harry,' McPhee she told the TV show Access Hollywood. 'They're like, they're so cute. They're like father and son. We just stay in touch with them. But mostly, Meghan and I knew each other from childhood, but really Harry and my husband are friends, so it's really nice.'

The Court Circular is your inside track on the latest happenings in the Royal Family, covering the biggest stories shaping the monarchy right now.

Foster of course was the man who helped arrange Harry and Meghan's Vancouver Island accommodation, after connecting them to the mysterious owner of the sprawling home where they spent Christmas, the New Year and the earlier part of this year.

McPhee also credits him with helping the royal couple find their Pacific Palisades home, saying: 'David is the resource guy. He knows all the places. He loves to help people. We just want them to end up wherever they feel safest and happiest.'

An LA power player on the music scene, Foster works as a record producer and music executive, with artists such as Christina Aguilera, Mary J Blige and Michael Bublé all produced by him. Yet he is also well-known for his five marriages - often to other well-connected Hollywood types.

From 1991 to 2005 he was married to Linda Thompson, a former model and the ex-wife of Caitlyn Jenner (then Bruce), with Foster acting as step-father to her two sons, Brody and Brandon Jenner (the half-brothers of Kendall and Kylie Jenner). He was next married to Yolanda Hadid from 2011-2017, another former model, and the mother of Gigi, Bella and Anwar Hadid, before marrying McPhee in 2018.

He had one child aged 20, Allison, who he gave up for adoption and reconnected with when she was an adult, plus three daughters with his second wife, Rebecca Dyer, named Sara, Erin and Jordan. His daughter Sara is married to former tennis star Tommy Haas.

Action Jackson!

Is it really a major dumping ground for bodies?

I saw someone mention this on that Dead To Me show and then the protagonists proceed to bury a corpse there.

Inspired by the thread on the terrible pilot for the American version of Are You Being Served...

Here's Harvey Korman and Betty White in Snavely, an adaptation of Fawlty Towers.

It's easy to see why this wasn't picked up.

I’ve heard this by several people and even given some name of such group which I forgot as I don’t believe this. Do any of you hear this nonsense?

I'm the convenient reminder that "you should not take Pallotex if you're allergic to Pallotex."

Stage and screen actor. Was probably last seen in the gay series A Place to Call Home. Pretty damn hot.

Consider the past 4 years and the immense number of scandals. Hillary's poised stoicism and rhetorical clobbering had no effect on the pea-brained red and purple state voter. We know that's because she's a woman. Joe will still need to be as succinct with a more receptive audience and will have 4 years of material to work with. Of course this accountability dialogue will not be framed as the "Vote for me because I'm not Trump," criticism levied at Clinton.

What should his message be and how many of Trump's earlier gaffes and outrages should be recalled? I'm assuming pinning the 100k+ deaths squarely on Trump will be his prima materia, but he can't rest his argument on one thing the media talking heads will go back and forth on.

What are the top 5 or 10 things Joe should hone in at every given opportunity?

But old gurl still has it!

His pathetic and rambling non apology, which is a joke. He can barely string two sentences together, he sounds dehydrated, and looks high as fuck. If he’s not on drugs? Then he’s retarded. He thinks the “fake news” media is making him out to be a villain, he needed the money but suddenly that money is going to buy masks. The drag queen who went to the party, Nedra Belle doesn’t want to apologize either for her stupidity and wants to also talk about being bullied in her supposed video reaction to the backlash. The stupid porn star who threw the party Ian Frost is also nowhere to be seen now. One of the attendees was also a nurse, the boyfriend a pharmacist. Such stupid fucking narcissistic assholes!

Does anyone here drink it?

I saw it on a commercial, so I bought a couple of packages.

The only problem is that it came in a brick. I've never used this type of coffee. How exactly do you make it?

I haven't yet opened the package, but do I have to grind it? Or pound it out with a hammer? Or do I cut off a slice of the brick and just stick it in the coffee filter?

I'm so confused.

You call them, knowing they’re at home, and they just let the phone ring! I find it very rude. What are they trying to prove? I don’t understand it.

I quit 4 months in once I earned Pikachu.

Happy Memerial Day weekend!

We know Trump will attack Biden's running mate, but who among these would be the least polarizing VP pick for Biden (polarizing when it comes to the entire national electorate)?

Amy Klobuchar

Gretchen Whitmer

Kamala Harris

Elizabeth Warren

Tammy Duckworth

I kind of liked her being Hermione but I can’t stand her as an actress.

Awful in The Bling Ring, I slept in the cinema watching the Beauty and the Beast (first and only time that has happened to me) and obviously the worst at Little Women.

How is she so likeable? She makes good box offices. I understand that some mediocre actors are popular like Tom Cruise or Angelina, but Watson is getting like worse in every film she is in.

I went downstairs to check my mail today and there was some Arab guy in the lobby. I checked my mail and he was waiting with the door open At the elevator so I got back in and said thanks. He got in the elevator but I noticed he didn’t press a floor. I then realized he was leering at me. He asked me if I was alone and I said no. He said too bad. I got off and he watched me walk to my door so he knows where I live. I should have went to another door but I was nervous and panicking and didn’t think. I made a show of yelling out “hey” when I entered my place but I’m scared. He was big and scary and I don’t like to fight. Do you think he’ll become a problem? What should I do?

At 94, it's too risky to let her Royal Highness return to public life. She will remain walled in the castle for the rest of her life.

Morongo Casino looks tame compared to this.

Happy Memorial Day, DLers!

It's called Grandpa (Tell Me 'Bout the Good Old Days) and while it certainly did not foreshadow the coming of Barack Obama (or anything even remotely progressive for that matter), it is such a lovely song, with an absolutely perfect hook:

[quote]Was a promise really something people kept, and not just something they would say and then forget?

Does anyone remember this song?

Have any of you seen it? It's a documentary about that "crunking" dance craze that was popular among African-Americans in South Central Los Angeles. I'm watching it for free on IMBD tv.

They look like they're having seizures but it's a really interesting film. It was surprised to find out it was directed by white fashion photographer David LaChappele, I misread it as Dave Chappelle at first.

And of course Madonna had to steal it and use in her HUNG UP video a year later. Some of the scenes in her video look like it was lifted out of that film.

New and improved with useful links!

Hoping your online shopping is better than your in-store experience.

Did you like it?

Me and my sister used to LOVE this movie, but we loved Winona Ryder in anything back in the 90s.

I watched this for the first time in about 18 years earlier and it’s fantastic and holds up well! I forgot how wickedly evil and good Angelina Jolie’s performance was in this. This may be her best performance. I feel she never tried this hard again after minus in a couple of films, but never lived up to this (and Gia).

Brittany Murphy was absolutely incredible in this! Truly heartbreaking! RIP Brittany.

Whoopi was good in her small role. I forgot about the scene when Winona calls her the N word. Her reaction was so real.

What are your thoughts and opinions?

I bought a 4-pints pack of Culver's Frozen Custard - Vanilla, Chocolate, Mint Chocolate, Caramel Pecan.

I ate some out of each one. The remainders are still in my freezer, coiled up like cold, demonic serpents.

My freezer needs an Exorcism.

My gay friend was talking about her this evening. He actually thought I'd know who this is. I looked her up. She's some obscure French actress with a brief career, died young in 1959.

Then I realized if anybody knew about her, it would be you bitches at Datalounge.

Is anyone doing this now or for the first time?

Are there kits out there that can be ordered and shipped to your house to grow flowers or herbs? Are garden centers delivering dirt?

That’s right, a “Kaftan”. No earrings, but toenails still pink.

MIND YOUR FUCKING BUSINESS WHITE CUNT. Sick of them already.

Let people fucking live.

Was there any fucking reason why this bitch had to share this? Seriously.

I know a "cleft chin refers to a chin with a Y-shaped dimple in the middle." But I love the chin that has a little bump there. Anyone know what that is called?

Thoughts?

As his motorcade heads to the golf course today.

I remember blind items about Charlie Sheen being poz and Phillip Seymour Hoffman being on heroin before those things were made public.

Gossip sites published stories on the NXIVM cult, Jeffrey Epstein, Harvey Weinstein, Kevin Spacey, Bill Cosby, and James Franco years before anyone else did.

I love her! She’s such a cute, liberal queen who always has Trumpsters reporting her videos lmao.

They hate her.

And she says no lies.

I have a tv mounted in my bathroom for when I’m chillin in the bath, brand new so it’s not faulty. My buddy recently passed and when he did I focused on him and had a candid conversation with him saying “Come on Cody, if you’re still around send me a sign. You know I would for you” and kept razzing him as I would in life. The tv in my bathroom turned on by itself. Creeped me out. Now it happens all the time, at weird times, and every time it does I instantly think of him. Creeps me the fuck out TBH but I’m assuming now it’s Cody just razzing me back

Do you think that some "beloved" celebs are actually hypocrites? What about the ones that have foundations or lend their names to charities? Do you think they are sincere or seeking publicity?

I just saw this in Tiktok the other day and thought it might be fake so googled it. Sadly it's true.

Apparently my perception of this region has been shattered by anecdotes of many living there to be not as enlightening as perceived.

Harry is quarantined with Jeff in LA in this grave time of plague. Will he do a live concert from home, as Post Malone did last night?

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAHAHAAAAAAHAAAAAAA

Get off her ponytail Frankie. Nobody likes you.

I know we generally don't talk about actors who don't ping and certainly not about unattractive actors, but Alda's always struck me as a smart, compassionate person. Am I naive? Is he actually a total asshole?

They are filled with sugar, that's the number 1 ingredient.

I'm trying to avoid all sugar. Am I an asshole if I just throw them away?

Once referred to by Raymond Chandler as the impossible mystety: “the impossible murder because Wallace couldn’t have done it and neither could anyone else.”

Is anybody else intrigues by this unsolved crime? Mild mannered Wallace tried and convicted for the brutal murder of his wife. Soon after his conviction was quashed and he was relesased.

The events of the crime, lack of motive, alibi and psychology all combine to make this all so puzzling.

All that younger pussy he is getting now must be doing him good. He is looking good again!!!

I listened to his interview with Lili Taylor this morning. I wish he would adapt his style more to the person he’s talking with. She was ready to unfurl interesting stories and he kept interrupting her.

[quote] We all know people who consistently display ethically, morally, and socially questionable behavior in everyday life. Personality psychologists refer to these characteristics among a subclinical population as "dark traits." An understanding of dark traits has become increasingly popular not only in psychology, but also in criminology and behavioral economics.

How many of these do you strongly agree with?

The Dark Core Scale

1. It is hard to get ahead without cutting corners here and there.

2. I like to use clever manipulation to get my way.

3. People who get mistreated have usually done something to bring it on themselves.

4. I know that I am special because everyone keeps telling me so.

5. I honestly feel I'm just more deserving than others.

6. I'll say anything to get what I want.

7. Hurting people would be exciting.

8. I try to make sure others know about my successes.

9. It is sometimes worth a little suffering on my part to see others receive the punishment they deserve.

Yes, Peter Navarro is a jerk but why was this post shaded? The poster had a crush. Big deal.

May 15, 1973, Connie Francis released her new hit "Should I Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Old Oak Tree." It remained in the top 40 for three weeks. She had been taking a break from performing recently, but after her success with this new song, Miss Francis decided to perform again and was booked to star at the Westbury Music Fair in New York. On November 8, 1974, she checked into her hotel, the Howard Johnson's Lodge in Jericho, New York. That very night, Miss Francis life changed forever.

Continuing the thread........

I'm six feet tall, but in the gay community, it seems that short guys are more favored.

They're small, compact, and less intimidating.

Tops especially look for small and petite guys, which really sucks.

As a tall guy, you're expected to be a top. I often wonder what it's like to be short/small, and how often you would get hit on by other guys.

Could Teen Wolf finally be hitting our screens again in the near future?

Tyler Posey, who played Scott McCall on the MTV series, has teased a possible reboot of the show, and we are so on board with this.

It's been three years since we said goodbye to Scott, Stiles, Lydia and co in the very open-ended finale and now Tyler reckons it's about time for a reboot.

He wrote on Twitter: "Hey @MTV I think it's time to bring teen wolf back for new episodes. First Jersey shore family vacation. Now Teen Wolf high school reunion. I'm ready. And 28, so it's an appropriate age."

Sounds good, eh? Well even better, some of the original cast are up for joining him too.

Colton Haynes, who played werewolf wannabe Jackson Whittemore, tweeted "I'm in!" and Cody Christian, who played one of Scott's enemies (turned frenemy), Theo Raeken, added: "I'm. So. Down".

Khylin Rhambo, who played Mason, added: "I agree with all these things. Count me tf in."

Orney Adams, who played the lacrosse coach, took things a little further with his unique humour: "Wait a minute. What the hell have I been shooting for the past six months @MTV? Was this not an official reboot? I was wondering why in all my scenes I was naked on a lacrosse field. Alone."

Well, we're absolutely ready for a reunion to find out what happened to the pack. Have Stiles and Lydia got married and had babies yet? Is Derek still a grumpy wolfy?

While the final season was still filming, series creator, Jeff Davis, was already planning a reboot, but it never materialised at the time, so maybe now's the right time.

Come on, MTV!

This is meant to be a counter to "What Very Famous Stage or Screen Actor Do You Think is Hideously Overrated" thread.

Mind, not underrated only because of their beauty (that's another thread), but overlooked for A-list stardom whose work that showed they had real talent.

I'll start: Geraldine Fitzgerald

I’ve never taken a geography class, and I am pretty dumb in this category.

I was shocked to find out a few years ago that the farthest-west point on the South American continent aligns with...Florida! I always thought for some reason that the east and west coasts of the Americas are roughly stacked.

Am I the only one who thought this?

Also, years ago I heard Whoopi Goldberg say to Joy Behar (after Behar complained about her ‘kinky’ hair) that “Sicily is just one little rowboat ride away from Africa. I knew it was close-ish, being in the Mediterranean, but Whoopi was basically correct.

What other geographic misconceptions have you had?

I can't get over this damn song. It's so catchy.

Thoughts?

In the Jennifer Aniston topic someone posted an article about how Jennifer Garner has only become more famous as her movie grosses have fallen. I'm old enough to remember when people like Tom Cruise and Julia Roberts had a movie coming out and it was an event. Now I can't name anyone whose movies do that. The closest is Jennifer Lawrence, but she's had a couple of flops in a row.

What do you guys think? Is the movie star a thing of the past?

Poor thing really looks hurt.

Why do White people refuse to grow or change? It’s so fucking disgusting!!!

Costars hate each other all the time, that's not new. But they can usually pull it together long enough to pretend in front of the cameras. Any examples of costars who weren't professional or talented enough to disguise their contempt for their costar?

I imagine this happens on soaps a lot where they aren't the best actors and they don't have time to screw around, they have to get thru their scenes on schedule. And not exactly the same thing but co-hosts/anchors seem to hate each other a lot too and since they aren't actors they aren't as good at hiding it.

Every so often there comes along a gem of an actor who steals scenes just by showing up. And that person was Thelma Ritter. She was a no-nonsense, tough talking and yet very hilarious character actress.

Her first role was an aggravated mother in the original version of "Miracle On 34th Street." She went on to work with Gwen Verdon, Bette Davis, Alfred Hitchcock, Jimmy Stewart and Grace Kelly, Doris Day and Rock Hudson, Marilyn Monroe, Debbie Reynolds and so many others.

Are there any performers today like Thelma that just light up the screen when they show up? I put Thelma in the category of yester-year actors like Vivian Vance, Nancy Walker and others who may have been "supporting" but made their indelible mark.

Tiffani Thiessen and Richard Ruccolo, who played lovers on "Two Guys and a Girl" last year, are planning on being co-stars on a more permanent basis in real life.

Ruccolo proposed to his girlfriend of about one year, the actors' publicist, Elizabeth Much, told Zap2it.com. No details were available on the wedding date or how Ruccolo popped the question.

The marriage will be the first for both actors, who have been living together in the Hollywood Hills for several months, according to media reports.

Rumors have romantically linked Thiessen, who dropped the middle name "Amber" last year, to former co-stars Mark-Paul Gosselaar, whom she starred with on "Saved by the Bell," and Brian Austin Green, from "Beverly Hills, 90210." Thiessen also dated actor David Strickland shortly before he hung himself in a Las Vegas motel room.

Name them!

A hot Alpha male

When will it arrive? It's "trending" for days but still no clear answer. I need the money!

We're both in our 50s. I'm within 10 years of retirement. He has a green card but wants to go for US Citizenship. Won't affect his Thai citizenship.

I speak a bit of Thai and by 66, I will be rather good at it. Healthcare (Thailand has some outstanding healthcare) but it's like pre-ACA, lots of exclusions, and pre-existing conditions for foreigners. After 70 it's almost impossible to get health insurance (as of now).

They don't recognize gay marriage. So in Thailand, we're not married but under U.S. law we are (for the moment at least).

Taxes. Still obligated to pay taxes, though in retirement we won't come close to 103,000.

I'll be an immigrant. It doesn't bother me. Can't own land but can own the building on the land. So he would own the land and we would build and own the house.

Not even considering Bangkok but maybe north. Been there 3 times. Don't like the south, too hot. Don't like the middle, too boring. Don't like Bangkok, way to fucking crowded.

It would be near his family, so as we age, we'll have lots of family to help.

What do you think?

last one just got payrolled for whatever reason

we just saw the season finale

this Sunday is an episode showing extra scenes they cut out

reunion was filmed yesterday and lots of drama

They will be open nationwide this weekend for services.

Can a gay version be far behind?

The University of California board of regents voted Thursday to stop using the SAT and ACT college admissions exams, reshaping college admissions in one of the largest and most prestigious university systems in the country and dealing a significant blow to the multibillion-dollar college admission testing industry.

The unanimous 23-to-0 vote ratified a proposal put forward last month by UC President Janet Napolitano to phase out the exams over the next five years until the sprawling UC system can develop its own test.

The battle against standardized tests has raged for years because minority students score, on average, lower than their white classmates. Advocates argue that the exams are an unfair admission barrier to those students because they often cannot pay for pricey test preparation.

“The test is a proxy for privilege,” said Regent Cecilia Estolano. “It’s time, it has been studied to death.” More than 1,000 colleges and universities have gone “test optional,” with the pace of schools dropping the exam accelerating in recent years in an attempt to level the admissions playing field.

The University of California received more than 176,000 freshmen applications last year—including around 116,000 from in-state students—and the system’s decision to abandon the exams opens the door for other schools to follow suit, partly to ensure they don’t alienate California applicants.

Ms. Napolitano’s proposal allows four years for the UC system to develop a new exam. If it fails to create or adopt one, then it likely would cease to use any exam, said Robert Schaeffer, public education director of the National Center for Fair and Open Testing, known as FairTest, which has fought against standardized testing for 30 years. Mr. Schaeffer said he doesn’t believe a new exam will be implemented.

“It appears very unlikely that they will be able to design an instrument that is more accurate and fairer than relying on applicants’ high school records,” Mr. Schaeffer said. “And, if a new test somehow meets those goals promoters would face massive adoption barriers, including persuading UC and the rest of the admissions world that a third test is truly needed or useful.”

The road to Thursday’s vote has been full of twists and turns. Ms. Napolitano began the review of the use of the SAT in 2018, that prompted a faculty committee began a review of the use of the exam. In February it recommended that the system continue to use the exams, arguing that applicants’ scores on the SAT and ACT still serve as better predictors of first-year performance than high school grades.

However, the task force encouraged the university system to expand the criteria on which it bases admissions decisions, and suggested possibly creating an alternative admissions test.

In December, students and community groups sued the University of California, alleging its requirement that applicants submit ACT or SAT scores discriminates against racial and ethnic minorities and low-income applicants. Last month, the UC system voted to suspend the use of the tests for one year because of the coronavirus pandemic.

An alligator rumored to have once belonged to Adolf Hitler has died at quite a remarkably old age.

The reptile -- who goes by Saturn -- recently passed away in the care of the Moscow Zoo, which he called home since the 1940s after he was discovered by British soldiers and gifted to the facility shortly thereafter ... once Germany suffered defeat in WWII, of course.

Saturn is actually said to have survived a bombing at the Berlin Zoo back in 1943 -- where he had been living after being shipped there from America in the mid-'30s -- and somehow lived among the ruins until he was found again in 1946. After that, Russia was his new home.

For some reason ... rumors swirled in Moscow that the alligator might've once been part of Hitler's personal collection of exotic animals. The Moscow Zoo says it became an urban legend but doesn't elaborate on why something like that might've even been thought.I

Whatevs ... the scaly creature lived out the rest of its days in Moscow's care, and apparently -- he was a very good, but also cantankerous boy. Of the animal, the Zoo writes ... "He was fussy about food and loved being massaged with a brush. If he didn’t like something, he would gnaw on the concrete decorations." He had a diet of rabbits, rats and fish.

Now, the Zoo doesn't confirm whether the Hitler story is true or not -- the theory could never be proven -- but they do defend Saturn's rep by saying ... regardless of who he might've belonged to, an animal's an animal, and shouldn't be judged by any human action.

The alligator was 84.

RIP?

Greta Garbo and Norma Shearer retired in their late 30s. Gene Hackman finally retired. But why don't more actors retire? If you made 40 million dollars a film, wouldn't you retire young and enjoy the rest of your life? Or at least do something you enjoy? A lot of actors, even big stars complain about how awful the business is, yet they've made more than enough to quit. Why don't they?

Crazy as fuck: Some shops around the US make headlines for denying entry to those wearing masks as protesters argue against preventative measures in the name of freedom.

I need our team of resident conspirafraus to analyze this video for me.

Daily Wire editor Ben Shapiro suggested that a 30-year-old life was worth more than an 80-year-old life in a discussion with Dave Rubin on Wednesday about when the coronavirus lockdowns should be rolled back.

Said Shapiro: “Nobody just wants to say the obvious truth, which is we’re all making actuarial deductions about what are the costs in terms of how many human lives, how many years of life, because that is an actual issue in actuarial tables. If somebody who is 81, dies of Covid-19 that is not the same thing as somebody who is 30 dying of Covid-19. … If grandma dies in a nursing home at age 81, and that’s tragic and that’s terrible, also the life expectancy in the United States is 80. So, that is not the same thing. In moral terms, you want to save every life you can. At the same time, to pretend that it is of the same, it is the same calculation, the age of the person, no public policy acts like that, not a single public policy in America acts like that.”

Writes Mediaite: “Shapiro’s notable sang froid about elderly people being struck down by the coronavirus stands in stark contrast to his tone several years ago, when wrote an anti-Obamacare piece for the far right website, Breitbart, that was not-so-subtly titled ‘The Death Panels Are Coming.’ In that piece, Shapiro railed against the prospect of the Affordable Care Act resulting in ‘rationing of care’ and listed several examples of federal healthcare guidelines that suggested curtailing preventative tests like mammographies, colonoscopies, and PSA screening for adults in their seventies and eighties as a cost-saving measure.”

Cue Mika calling for Joe Biden’s head.

I think I need to take a break from all the "thinking man’s" films I usually watch. For some reason I got hooked on creature features and Italian peplums from that era a few days ago. I'm really not well familiar with those sort of older B-movies so I'm looking for some titles to add to my watchlist. The campier and schlockier, the better. Overheated melodramas are fine too.

Which mood-altering prescribed medications do you take regularly? I have to know!

More of our beloved and sexy senior men.

I can't get enough of them.

Are there any actors/stars currently in porn that you don’t find attractive?

I have a friend like this. She has two children but there are no personal details in the living room at all. No photos, no personal touches, nothing out of place. They just bought the entire showroom right down to the ugly modern sculpture on the coffee table. Is that creepy?

Is she still practicing psychiatry? Has she given up cigarettes? Is she in the US, or Venezuela?

Is she working as a St. Vincent impersonator?

Inquiring minds want to know.

For example:

Get ready for the Zoom finale, ladies!

Betty Hutton. Too over the top.

Chico Marx. Never made me laugh, even once. Incredibly grating and annoying.

Leslie Howard. Always seems like a ghost onscreen--there's almost no energy there. I've never been able to figure out why he was a star.

Please discuss Stalin and his times here. He was hot as a young man

She posted this photo and something is not right there.

Idk. But she looks fake now. Did she get more work done? She looks worse.

she tells Andy Cohen......oy

Will you watch? I will while drinking tea and in my snuggle 🥰

It's all been an act. They were both using each other, but she's not doing so well with it now that her career is flopping.

According to Republican strategist and Project Lincoln founder/Biden-supporter John Weaver, this map is based on leaks from the Trump campaign

Upon watching it for the first time, I finally saw what people raved about her (cause I hated her back then and refused to see her movies). She truly was luminous. Great, radiant skin, a magnetic presence. You just can't take your eyes off her. Not a great beauty, but she makes you think she is, by the sheer force of her charisma. Kinda like Scarlett O'Hara.

The Dem running for congress in the Montana at-large seat (the state is only large enough for one seat) has a real good shot at winning. Montana right now has a very popular Dem governor currently running for senate. And the dems have a very strong candidate running for Governor. If those two and Tom win, Dems will control all the most important positions in the state.

He supports medicare for all, stronger gun control, a transformative climate policy, and many other good things. But who am I kidding he's also hot as hell!!

Are we okay with this?

He’s a messy bottom, but big dick.

Non-Instaho or Instaho.

Happy Holiday y’all!

These are adorable.

Poor guy

Where’d they all go?

Is Madonna going to be okay with Gaga having a song with the word rain in the title?

I was in my early 20s when I attended one of his fabulous parties in the Hollywood Hills, must have been a year or two after Can't Stop the Music. Ann Miller was there and a few other old time celebs, but after 1am most of the heteros left and it was an all male bacchanal. I was so impressed and horrified at the same time.

He was very touchy-feely towards any guy he had the hots for, but I don't think he followed through with any of them. Thankfully I never had to get it up for him as I was a guest of another tv/theater producer. He seemed like an old queen with too much money and caftans, not my type at all.

Anyone have any memories to share from the late 70s or 80s?

Well, here's your answer.

And he's blond now!

For your continued enjoyment

But there is a catch. He wants unemployed Americans to donate money. He and his fellow Avenger multi-millionaires will let you ask them questions if you donate to their charity. Chris is damn hot. But, I am the only one getting sick of this.

I wonder which stealth DL threads are part of that orchestrated push? The one about the hot exhibitionists going outside and flashing their dicks?

A poster on another thread the reason he didn't find the beauty of one guy appealing because of the following features which reminds him of lower class "even though he's in the shower, it looks like his skin is greasy and full of grime that's been there for years. His tattoos don't help. The combination of beady eyes, wide nose and thick lips together make me think of the lower classes. If he had one of those features alone, I wouldn't think that. It's the combination that does it." Would you date a lower class man? I mean it really depends. If he had great attributes, I would.

Here's the following situations in which I would date a lower class man. He was wealthy but has fallen on hard times but has the ability to bounce back. He had lower class roots and/or is quick-thinking, I would take him. And finally if we simply do well together, if our personality are harmonious, then why the heck not.

Which closet case do you think did the best job of fooling people?

I know she is reviled by many and there are a number of people who claim she didn't write any of her music—but even if she didn't write the guitar riffs, the lyrics have always been consistent and clearly her own—and they have always been incredibly smart. "Northern Star" by Hole is just one example, though I think it is a crowning achievement of a song in her career. I can't think of many songwriters of her generation who have produced lyrics of that caliber.

"Red Red Wine" by Neil Diamond

"Heaven Was a Drink of Wine" by Merle Haggard

"Kisses Sweeter than Wine" by the Weavers (or covered by Jimmie Rodgers)

I am immunocompromised (don't ask how, I will not disclose that) and having to breathe in their smoke was already offensive to my health, but now I risk getting SARS-CoV-2 because of them.

Most versatile Dad joke ever?

So odd we should reach this number on Memorial Day.

It took PhD to come up with such a simple idea. Amazing!

He is so handsome, with gorgeous fair skin, pretty pink lips, with the cutest southern accent. He’s born and raised Alabama, in a University studying nursing. HIs aunt was a nurse and his sister is one so he’s been exposed to nursing his whole life, and one time he was in the Hospital for 3 days and the nurses were so kind and friendly to him, and he got to know them and they made him smile and feel special, and at that moment he knew he wanted to get into nursing so he could do that for someone one day.

He also said he loves how few males get into nursing because the competition is low and if you’re a man you are automatically given a job because once they see it’s a male they get excited and hand you the job ASAP. He was being honest. (Like we DIDNT know sexism is a plague in this Country).

He is like a Frat boy though, but handsome. Love his Hazel green eyes.

Yes, this is a real show. Not a skit on SNL.

"I will never apologize for supporting the issues that candidate Trump advocated, but I am deeply sorry for thinking that this shallow and broken man would show even some remote fealty to the promises that got him elected."

Will all the Evan Hansons be dating each other eventually?

John Lennon and James Dean come to mind.

I just rewatched it. Damn, what an outstanding film. Clooney has never been more effectively used on screen. I loved Tilda Swinton in her Oscar-winning role, and Merritt Wever was terrific.

In hindsight I would have been happy if either it or There Will Be Blood had won Best Picture. Despite my affection for Cormac McCarthy’s novels, I’ve never felt a need to rewatch No Country for Old Men.

Hot bear, amputee (Thank you for your service btw)

I would suck him off in a heartbeat. But that's all

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".

Saying that her boyfriend swings both ways as well - so if he is doing it, why can't I? Adding

Probably the most fascinating thing about the industry is how contracts work and what they put in them. I heard it's mind-boggling.

A manhunt is underway for a University of Connecticut student suspected of killing two people and stealing guns and cars in a three-day rampage.

“We know that he is armed and dangerous,” Connecticut State Trooper Christine Jeltema said at a Sunday press conference. “Do not approach him.”

In the early afternoon, police said suspect Peter Manfredonia, 23, was driving a stolen black Volkswagen Jetta with a sticker paying tribute to victims of the Sandy Hook massacre in his hometown of Newtown. Hours later they said that car had been found empty near the border of New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

Police have been looking for Manfredonia since Friday when he was seen leaving the scene of a brutal assault on two older men.

Cynthia DeMers, whose husband Theodore was killed, told the Hartford Courant that Manfredonia had been walking down their road in Willington and needed a ride to his motorcycle.

“It could have been anybody who offered him a ride,” she told the newspaper. “It could have been any of my neighbors’ husbands. It just happened to be mine.”

Minutes after her husband and neighbor left with the suspect, her husband and the other man were found. DeMers could not be revived, and police said the second victim’s injuries were extremely serious. They did not describe the injuries.

It’s believed that on Saturday night, Manfredonia broke into a house in Willington, swiped long guns and a pistol and a car—which was later found abandoned after a crash near Osbornedale State Park in Derby.

SWAT teams and K-9 units swarmed the park, as Derby police warned on Facebook: “Residents are asked to remain vigilant as this suspect is considered armed and highly dangerous.”

Hours later, police said they believed Manfredonia had escaped the area. Even more chillingly, they said the investigation had determined that his most recent stop was a Derby home where he allegedly killed an acquaintance, 23-year-old Nicholas J. Eisele, and stole the getaway Jetta.

Manfredonia is 6-foot-3, 240 pounds, and wearing a gray T-shirt, gray sweatpants. He played football for Newtown High School and his Facebook page—which has not been updated since last year—shows he has raised money for Sandy Hook Promise, a non-profit that fights gun violence.

UConn confirmed Manfredonia is enrolled in its School of Engineering/School of Business program but said he was not living on campus.

Who is the Queen of Closeted Lesbians?

Don't worry, there is still porn all over his personal/campaign twitter account.

Since the Picard and Discovery threads have now become subscriber only (and doesn't seem to be working for subscribers), I thought I'd start a new thread where we can discuss all things Trek.

He’s documenting everything.

Okay, not just Eldergays, but anyone. I have to admit, I don't listen to a ton of hip hop. I love Kendrick Lamar, but so does everyone else. Two rappers I've always loved are Missy Elliott and Azealia Banks. With the latter I put her personal life and her problematic behavior aside and just focus on the music. I think the fact that the both of them are legit singers gives their music -- even when they're just rapping and not singing -- much more musicality and more interesting rhythms than a lot of male rappers. But outside of Missy, Azealia, Salt N Pepa and a couple of big singles from Cardi B and Nikki Minaj, I don't know any other female rap songs.

So, let's share our favorite female rap songs.

Let's start with a stone cold classic

This series just started on Starz. Takes place in Provincetown. A lot of the outdoor scenes were filmed there. Lot of familiar sites. They also did filming on Long Island so it’s not 100% Ptown or Cape Cod. But if you’ve never been there it does give you a feel of the place. I’m not into drugs so I’m not familiar with that part of the culture but I’m sure it’s there. Also the series has a lesbian slant.

The info says it was filmed in spring of last year. Picture the streets with three or four times the people and you’ll know what summertime is like.

Premiering May 5th, trailer looks good.

Some thoughts on the last eight (8) plus weeks of Isolation & Social Distancing:

I hope they give us two weeks notice before sending us back out into the real world. I think we'll all need the time to become ourselves again. And by "ourselves" I mean lose 10 pounds, cut our hair, and get used to not drinking at 9:00 a.m.

New monthly budget: Gas $0, Entertainment $0, Clothes $0, Groceries $2,799. Breaking News: Wearing a mask inside your home is now highly recommended. Not so much to stop COVID-19, but to stop eating.

When this quarantine is over, let's not tell some people.

I stepped on my scale this morning. It said: "Please practice social distancing. Only one person at a time on the scale."

Not to brag, but I haven't been late to anything in over 8 weeks.

They may open things up next month -- I'm staying in until July to see what happens to you all first.

Day 56: The garbage man placed an AA flyer on my recycling bin.

Appropriate analogy: "The curve is flattening, so we can start lifting restrictions now. Or could it be... "The parachute has slowed our rate of descent, so we can take it off now."

People keep asking: "Is coronavirus REALLY all that serious?" Listen y'all, the churches and casinos are closed. When heaven and hell agree on the same thing, it's probably pretty serious.

Never in a million years could I have imagined I would go up to a bank teller wearing a mask and ask for money.

Putting a drink in each room of my house today and calling it a pub crawl.

Okay, so the schools are closed. Do we drop the kids off at the teacher's house?

For the second part of this quarantine do we have to stay with the same family or will they relocate us? Asking for myself....

Coronavirus has turned us all into dogs. We wander around the house looking for food. We get told "No!" if we get too close to strangers. We get really excited about going for walks and car rides.

I was in a long line at 7:45 am today at the grocery store that opened at 8:00 for seniors only. A young man came from the parking lot and tried to cut in at the front of the line, but an old lady beat him back into the parking lot with her cane. He returned and tried to cut in again, but an old man punched him in the gut, then kicked him to the ground and rolled him away. As he approached the line for the 3rd time he said, "If you people don't let me unlock the door, none of you will ever get in to shop."

OK Robert Reed was a pretty nice looking but average joe. Then he leaves for his vacation in Hawaii with straight hair and Mike Brady gets out of the plane with curly hair. Robert Reed clearly decided his "straight" lifestyle was over and he was gonna camp it up from that point on. Then he grew his "fabulous" mustache and what was already obvious to 99% of us, what obvious to the rest of the world. Robert Reed = Gay.

Let the bitchfest begin!

Alam Wernik on finding sexual and financial freedom through OnlyFans

A break-out social media star from the adult entertainment world, Alam Wernik enjoys a colossal following of over a million on Instagram and 200,000 on Twitter.

After establishing himself as one of the world's most in-demand porn performers over the last couple of years, the Brazilian is following the path of many adult stars by capitalising on his newfound fame on OnlyFans, where fans can subscribe for the personal pleasure of viewing his sexual exploits.

The advent of OnlyFans has revolutionised the sex industry in recent years, as both professional and amateur content creators throw off the shackles of traditional porn contracts and turn to a platform that provdes them ultimate control over their sexual expression and, importantly, the money earned through their labour.

As Alam poses for an exclusive lockdown shoot in his New York apartment for Attitude's Sex and Sexuality issue - out now to download and to order globally - the former medical student reveals how he's relishing the control he's been afforded both sexually and financially since turning to OnlyFans.

"The porn industry was a beautiful experience. I used to create homemade videos, but the porn industry was a completely enjoyable, but different, experience", he says.

"OnlyFans followers have given me the support to build and create other projects in my life.

"It’s such an amazing thing to know that people follow you for you who you are, and I am grateful for that. All the fans gave me this amazing opportunity to share my content."

Alam, who quit his medical studies before moving to the US, explains that OnlyFans offers the chance to establish a more intimate connection between performer and

"There’s a lot of factors that I take into consideration [when creating OnlyFans content]" he says.

"But it’s just about being yourself and sharing your lifestyle. It’s really important for people to know who you are when having sex on camera!"

He adds: "With OnlyFans, the social media doors opened, giving me an opportunity to show what I do in my day-to-day life, such as fitness and travel.

"I like to show my sexuality with no fear or judgement. I like the feeling of giving and receiving emotions like it is the last time. Because it could well be, right?"

While OnlyFans has seen an explosion in amateur performers also begin to capitalise on their nudes, like any venture establishing a relationship between sex and money, stigma remains.

"I do see some negative messages, but I feel people don’t know who I am and how I live my life [get] to judge me", Alam reflects.

"I don’t get mad at all. Maybe they want to be more like me and enjoy their body. I have people that I follow that I wish I was more like, and what I do is try to learn from them, rather than bad-mouth them or make them feel bad about themselves.

He adds: "Love, love, love..."

Can anyone suggest what the best app or website out there is to find good friends sharing similar backgrounds and interests? I’m in my mid 40s and NOT looking for sex or any kind of physical contact. Thanks in advance 🙏

Sometimes "He's just asexual!" is used to rationalize a star's alleged lack of a love life (Didn't the Wentworth Miller fangurls say he was asexual?)......but are there any stars who are genuinely asexual? Does Paula Poundstone still claim to be asexual?

Anyone watching?

I binged this season's current episodes over the weekend. I have previously watched maybe half of the previous season which featured surfer dude Hayden and crybaby Dani, but that's it, so I'm not that familiar with the convept. There are 3 new judges who are thinner and more-low key than the previous ones. I think big swinging dick Scottish Judge Jock "I'm an expert in Indigenous ingredients" Zonfrillo is fucking his protégée Laura.

There's a lot of gay representation. And Asian representation. And Gaysian representation.

Phwoar!!

Suzanne Morphew went missing on May 8 and of course her husband Barry is getting the side eye from armchair detectives. She went for a bike ride and never returned - bike found abandoned. Barry then made a Chris Watts-like video begging for his wife's safe return and there are folks reading his body language as... weird. I happened across a Youtube true crime posters who says the latest update is as follows: Her childhood friend is saying her body has been found. She wanted a divorce and he found out. He was having affairs. He shot her in their basement then along with 2 young women buried her in cement! 1 of three women is a 29 yr old mistress from a job site. They have arrested Barry. 2 other arrests will be done in connection.

Who knows if any of this latest news is true or a troll is trying to seem in the know. However, if it is true, this guy is scum.

Netflix has been my BFF of late. Let’s be real, we’re spoilt for choice with ‘content’ at the moment. I’ve just finished bingeing The Assassination of Gianni Versace and absolutely adored every second of it. What are you watching? What’s getting you through the lockdown? x

Years ago, NPR did a contest where listeners had to come up with new collective nouns (e.g. a [italic]murder[/italic] of crows, a [italic]school[/italic] of fish, a [italic]flock[/italic] of sheep). They gave a list of words, and listeners had to submit their collective noun ideas.

Let's see how well DL can do. What are the best collective nouns you can come up with for any or all of the below terms?

Bottoms

Bump Bitches

Caftans

Earrings

Eldergays

Lesbians

Megstans

Nephews

Priss pots

Russian trolls

Size queens

Straight me

Total tops

Please feel free to include any common DL terms I'm forgetting, but I thought it would be fun if we all started with the same ones!

Obviously Barrie Youngfellow and Valerie Harper were behind it, but what about the details?

Hello DataLounge Friends.

This week I finalized my enrollment in a Master’s Degree hybrid program. I had been applying for jobs to use my teaching certification, but as a diabetic I decided I wasn’t comfortable going back to the school setting during the current crisis.

I have some mixed feelings, because... 1.) I am going to be a Buckeye! My husband’s parents, all of his brothers, and their wives have at least one degree from Ohio State, so it’ll be cool to fit in, but do l have to be an obnoxious sports fan now?! 2.) I love learning, I am getting into a great program with the strong possibility of a pretty great assistantship, but I’m also nervous to adjust to the demands of going to to school.

My question is...for those of your who have gone BACK to school after a break, what’s your best advice? I have been out for six years. Five of those I was on “the other side of the desk” so I’m not totally out of the groove, but I want to be in a strong position.

I hope everyone is staying safe.

Andrew Cuomo may be the most popular politician in the country. His approval ratings have hit all-time highs thanks to his Covid-19 response. Some Democrats have discussed him as a possible replacement for Joe Biden, due to Biden’s perceived weakness as a nominee. And there have even been some unfortunate tributes to Cuomo’s alleged sex appeal.

All of which is bizarre, because Cuomo should be one of the most loathed officials in America right now. ProPublica recently released a report outlining catastrophic missteps by Cuomo and the New York City mayor, Bill de Blasio, which probably resulted in many thousands of needless coronavirus cases. ProPublica offers some appalling numbers contrasting what happened in New York with the outbreak in California. By mid-May, New York City alone had almost 20,000 deaths, while in San Francisco there had been only 35, and New York state as a whole suffered 10 times as many deaths as California.

Federal failures played a role, of course, but this tragedy was absolutely due, in part, to decisions by the governor. Cuomo initially “reacted to De Blasio’s idea for closing down New York City with derision”, saying it “was dangerous” and “served only to scare people”. He said the “seasonal flu was a graver worry”. A spokesperson for Cuomo “refused to say if the governor had ever read the state’s pandemic plan”.

Later, Cuomo would blame the press, including the New York Times for failing to say “Be careful, there’s a virus in China that may be in the United States?” even though the Times wrote nearly 500 stories on the virus before the state acted. Experts told ProPublica that “had New York imposed its extreme social distancing measures a week or two earlier, the death toll might have been cut by half or more”.

But delay was not the only screw-up. Elderly prisoners have died of coronavirus because New York has failed to act on their medical parole requests. As Business Insider documented:

“Testing was slow. Nonprofit social-service agencies that serve the most vulnerable couldn’t get answers either. And medical experts like the former CDC director Tom Frieden said ‘so many deaths could have been prevented’ had New York issued its stay-at-home order just ‘days earlier’ than it did. On March 19, when New York’s schools had already been closed, Cuomo said ‘in many ways, the fear is more dangerous than the virus.’”

The governor has failed to take responsibility for the obvious failures, consistently blaming others and at one point even saying “governors don’t do pandemics”. (Actually, some governors just don’t read their state’s pandemic plans.) But much of the press has ignored this, focusing instead on Cuomo’s aesthetic presentation: his dramatic statements about “taking responsibility” (even when he obviously hasn’t), and his invisible good looks.

For too long, Democrats have measured their politicians by “whether they are better than Republicans”. This sets the bar very low indeed, and means that Democrats end up settling for incompetent and amoral leaders who betray progressive values.

I'm actually really upset and really worried. It cannot be a good sign, he must be at least bisexual right? Why and how would a gay man be turned on by straight porn? It just doesn't make sense. I tried to watch it once and it was gross.

I was using his computer, totally innocently, I wasn't snooping. I've seen him use his passcode over his shoulder a 100 times so just logged on looking for a document and found the folder, 100s of pictures and videos of all types of straight porn. Women solo, with other girls, with guys and groups, it was gross. I'm just fucking so pissed and upset and confused.

I bet he is cheating on me with girls, I just know it, some of them look like them looked pretty amateur, like from hook up sites. I thought he was gay if I knew he was bi I would never have dated, now I'm with him for the best part of two years and my heart is in it, and it is about to be broken.

I think it is best if I end it and just. I don't know, I'm heartbroken.

Wasn't her dad like a billionaire?

Karen protects the stairs of America.

Anyone else watch this?

It's an Israeli series that's on Netflix about a counterterrorism unit that's gotten pretty high marks for being even-handed in its treatment of both sides.

This season (Season 3) was the most nuanced yet and has some hot actors on both sides.

And I love her lmao. Wishing death on her Ex-Husbands Girlfriend 😂😂😂

Let's talk about ice cream! My fat little paws flew like hummingbirds towards this Magnum Double Pistachio Honey! I hope the diabetes is worth it!

Surprised I didn't see a thread about this. To be fair I don't know who he is, but aren't a lot of you bitches obsessed with soaps?

Link is NSFW, but there was .an amateur sex clip posted on Billy Santoro's website they claimed was a soap star having sex. People think it is David Fumero who did over four hundred episodes on "One Life to Live", and is married to a woman....

He's third in line to the throne, after his mother Crown Princess Victoria and his elder sister Princess Estelle.

We need to talk about Vaughn...

And Andrea...

There, I said it.

Sorry, but Diana Ross has much more feminine and beautiful features than her daughter.

If you're regularly fucking someone but have no relationship beyond just the sex, can that person be called your lover or are they just a fuck buddy? Does "lover" automatically imply emotional involvement or can it also mean a purely physical connection and that's it?

Also, speaking of fuck buddies/lovers, do you currently have one and what's your relationship like? Is it just sex or are you also friends?

Oh, yes I am.

Looking healthy.

Is this really a lifestyle for young Millennials? Have they never heard of STIs? The cumdump's voice seems very masculine.

Btw, has anybody found him yet? Where is he?

They're trying to record "Victims" for Colour By Numbers....a very tender song and meanwhile calling each other cunts!

This story will haunt me til the day I die. How do you last 10 minutes- let alone 10 years- tied up and raped? The abject fear of being imprisoned in a cold, dark house for years, not knowing what the next moment would bring would give me crippling PTSD forever. Yet these young women survived their ordeal.

I know it was a low income transient neighborhood, but wouldn't neighbors notice things like a man bringing in food, etc. to an apparently uninhabited house? Removing trash?

People, be aware of your surroundings always.

A friend and I were reminiscing about about the '70s and S&H green stamps the other day. My mother absolutely had to have an electric can opener, but didn't want to shell out for it. She filled out her booklets and finally got the coveted can opener.

It was novel and kind of useful for about two weeks. Attaching the can, making sure it didn't fall off, and then wiping up splashed contents from the counter and machine was a pain. She reverted back to a manual one.

I'm actually somewhat surprised they still make them. I can understand people with arthritis need them. But jeez there are so many on the market at a wide range of prices. What's so bad about manual ones?

And don't get me started about the "Turbo 2000" electric salad spinner I saw at Macy's.

Anyone watch? I saw a few episodes on HGTV then binged all the ones I missed on HULU. I like the idea of these two trying to save old houses in their town. I like them better than Chip and Joanne who foisted their kids on us every episode and at least this Mississippi couple appear to be more gay friendly those Waco freaks.

Quarantine is doing him good.

Zeb really hits it outta the park! Notice the deep, sensual voice, "hot" looks and the sense of rhythm. You can take your Harry Styles, your Justin Bieber and your Sam Smith. Zeb's where it's at.

Who here has one? I'm thinking of buying one. What's your favorite thing to cook on it?

Currently TCM is showing Dick Cavett's interview with Kate Hepburn. She was such a tremendous actress and had a fascinating presence! Watching this interview made me wonder if we have - presently - any movie stars today with similar talent and regard? I couldn't think anyone who comes close? Can you?

This is a prestige German TV show, highly praised — and I’m sad to say, a bit preposterous.

I don’t want to get into details but mother of Pearl — talk about a show that strains credulity! Anyone here watched this yet? Am I alone in this or was this show — weirdly implausible?

What’s getting you through? Here’s my jam. x

New Jersey man was charged with making a terroristic threat after he intentionally coughed near a supermarket employee and told her he had the coronavirus, the authorities said on the same day that the Justice Department warned of similar threats to spread the virus.

The man, George Falcone, 50, of Freehold, N.J., was shopping for groceries at a Wegmans store in Manalapan, N.J., on Sunday evening when a worker asked him to move away from her and a food display because he was too close, the state attorney general, Gurbir S. Grewal, said on Tuesday.

The authorities said that Mr. Falcone leaned in close to the worker to cough and allegedly laughed, telling her that he was infected with the virus. Mr. Falcone later told two other store employees that they were lucky to have jobs, officials said.

Mr. Falcone was charged with making a terroristic threat in the third degree and fourth-degree of obstructing administration of law, Mr. Grewal said. Both charges are considered felonies in New Jersey.

Because she doesn't agree with the way Mother handled her "molestation" over 30 years ago.

Quite frankly, I think Mother handled it expertly. She simply had our uncle go to the neighbor's house, tell him we knew what he had done, that it was inappropriate, and that he was not allowed in our home again. No scene was created, but the point was put across.

My sister feels (who, Mother points out, was always running around half-dressed, which probably enticed the young man) that Mother should've gone to the police and pressed charges. Mother isn't the type to do that.

After years of listening to my sister whine about this, Mother finally told her what's what. And now my sister isn't speaking to her, or to me, since I told her I thought she was acting like a spoiled brat and needs to get over it. Mother is 75 years old and in poor health. I can't believe she wants to put her through this nonsense in her last years.

I mean, what kind of child cuts off her elderly parent, no matter the reason?

Ann Jillian haunts a teen boy!

I guess I should be surprised, this is the same country that thinks Miranda and Mrs. Brown’s Boys are ingenious.

Are these still popular with today's youth?

This July, angry road raging Russell is coming to a very big screen near you.

Loathe it, but am stuck through the plague until I get another one. Mine quits and has to be restarted constantly, jumps around when typing and I just want to throw it away but I don't have another backup. I am used to the Dell Inspiron and just plain old fashioned laptop computers that I can see! This screen is so small that I can barely read anything. Comments and helpful hints please!.

Gross.

I watched this movie again last night and after Robert Osborn's quote from Michael Caine I headed over to IMDB to read the trivia. What I found was interesting and sadly indicative of the times:

[quote]According to separate interviews with Michael Caine and Christopher Reeve, they had hesitations regarding the filming of the infamous "kissing" scene. Once they decided to go through with it they both consumed large amounts of alcohol in order to keep themselves calm and drunk enough that they'd do anything anyone asked them to do. Caine reportedly later regretted the scene and vowed to never film another homosexual sequence. To this day he never has.

[quote]Christopher Reeve once said of the gay love scene with Michael Caine in this movie: "We kiss on the mouth. We handle it straight on. But I hope that audiences will not over-focus on the homosexual aspects of a thriller."

[quote]Some mild controversy erupted with the on-screen gay kiss between straight actors Michael Caine and Christopher Reeve. This scene did not appear in the Ira Levin source play of the same name. According to the book 'The Celluloid Closet ' by Vito Russo, Christopher Reeve said that this scene was booed by preview audiences in Denver, Colorado, USA. Moreover, apparently a 'Time' magazine expose revealed the gay kiss story element plot twist which cost the movie an estimated US $10 million in box-office receipts.

Today we have straight actors desperate for gay roles yet doing everything they can to make sure people know they are not at all gay, (I'm looking at you Tom Hardy.)

“The Last Dance” was largely well-received as an entertaining, welcome trip down sports memory lane at a much-needed time.

But it had its fair share of critics pointing to Michael Jordan’s heavy hand in shaping how he was portrayed — that it wasn’t a shining beacon of balanced documentary filmmaking.

Count Horace Grant in the latter camp. Jordan’s teammate on three NBA championships lit into him in a radio interview Tuesday, calling him a “snitch,” accusing him of lying and challenging him to “settle this like men.”

Grant’s primary point of contention appears to be Jordan blaming him for leaking locker-room information to author Sam Smith for his 1992 exposé “The Jordan Rules.”

But his beef doesn’t stop there. Grant took issue with the documentary’s portrayal of Scottie Pippen, Jordan’s treatment of him personally and his bullying of teammates. He laid it all out in an interview with Kap and Co. on ESPN 1000 in Chicago.

‘We can settle it another way’

"Lie, lie, lie,” Grant said, per an ESPN transcript. “If MJ had a grudge with me, let’s settle this like men. Let’s talk about it. Or we can settle it another way. But yet and still, he goes out and puts this lie out that I was the source behind [the book].

“Sam and I have always been great friends. We’re still great friends. But the sanctity of that locker room, I would never put anything personal out there.”

Grant continued that Jordan used “The Last Dance” to air out grievances while questioning the fairness of the “so-called documentary.”

“It’s only a grudge, man,” Grant said. “I’m telling you, it was only a grudge. And I think he proved that during this so-called documentary. When if you say something about him, he’s going to cut you off, he’s going to try to destroy your character.”

Grant said Jordan was the real “snitch,” chastising him for his statements early in the documentary pointing to cocaine use among Bulls players when he was a rookie.

“And my point is, he said that I was the snitch, but yet and still after 35 years he brings up his rookie year going into one of his teammate’s rooms and seeing coke and weed and women,” Grant said.

“My point is: Why the hell did he want to bring that up? What’s that got to do with anything? I mean, if you want to call somebody a snitch, that’s a damn snitch right there.”

Grant also took issue with how “The Last Dance” portrayed Pippen. The documentary went heavy into examining Pippen’s contract conflict with the Bulls in 1997, with Jordan calling Pippen “selfish” for his negotiation tactics that saw him delay a medical procedure.

The documentary also featured Pippen’s refusal to enter the final seconds of a playoff game against the New York Knicks when Phil Jackson drew up a shot for Toni Kukoc instead of him. That incident happened while Jordan was playing baseball. Grant said that the players who were on the team at the time made peace with Pippen and questioned why Jordan even brought it up.

“MJ wasn’t even on the team,” Grant said. “Why was that in there? ... We go on to take the Knicks to seven games. It was over. Why bring that up? That’s my question to everybody out there who’s listening.”

Grant also criticized Jordan’s treatment of teammates. He said he never backed down to Jordan’s tactics but believes that Jordan’s behavior in the locker room and on the practice court was out of line. Jordan’s repeated berating of Scott Burrell was featured heavily in “The Last Dance.”

“He felt that he could dominate me, but that was sadly mistaken,” Grant said. “Because whenever he went at me, I went at him right back. But in terms of Will Perdue, Steve Kerr and the young man, Scott Burrell, that was heartbreaking.”

Jordan and Grant may have shared one of the greatest runs in sports history together. But Grant clearly left with some scars that were reopened by watching “The Last Dance” along with the rest of us.

And 27 years after last playing with Jordan, Grant sounds ready to fight.

Anybody remember him?

He was a secondary/character actor in mostly straight porn in the 70s and 80s, but some gay too. (most famous probably being Debbie Does Dallas, Insatiable, Aunt Peg, Blonde Ambition, and Centurions of Rome). In 1989 he was in The Night Boys with Melchor Diaz (hot gay porn star who died of AIDS a few years later). In the 90s he was doing mostly low budget gay and straight BDSM.

Barely any info online about him.

Born David J. Reingold on Jan. 9, 1952 in White Plains, NY Died: May 22, 1999 in Delray Beach, FL

The best personal info I found here on DL (thanks, whoever you are):

"...He was one that fell in to drug addiction, and contracted Hep C from his heroin use. He did a few gay movies and loops earlier in his career when he looked good, but did several after he got out of shape and always looked tired and sweaty near the end of his career. He ended up dying in Florida in 1999 of a overdose."

"I heard that about Morris from a few other performers who worked with him and from a guy who is writing a book on the history of porn who has interviewed a lot of people from back then who are still alive and willing to talk. He was apparently a relatively intelligent guy also, so it's a shame his life ended the way it did. From the sleuth work you've done, it sounds like a few of his brothers have their share of issues too."

Me, I found info about his three brothers online (one is an ex NYPD cop accused of raping at least two women, another lives near St. Louis and was arrested on a drug charge, and another took over the old folks home business after the father died) but nothing about him.

I also contacted Rialto Report asking if they planned to do anything on him. They're reply: "We've spoken to many, many people who worked with him - and we always ask about what they remember about him. Without fail people have the same response - good looking, easy to work with, but kept himself to himself... and so was a bit of an enigma."

Know anything about him?

I'm old, but when I was a young boy, I'd ask for Tinker Toys every Christmas, and my mother would get me Lincoln Logs. Do you think it was an unconscious act to make me more manly?

I was so unpopular, because of it. The other kids could build cool things with Tinker Toys, but what could you do with Lincoln Logs.

Then one day, my father lost his job and we had to burn them in the fireplace ot keep warm. I was so happy, until next Christmas when my father got another job and I got more Lincoln Logs.

What do you think about them?

Fucking hot Moroccan fitness model. I’ve been quite obsessed with his Instagram account as of late. He likes to tease with his Insta-stories by showing off his bubble butt while working out, and he often wears the tiniest of shorts and nothing else. Not much in the way of a bulge, but I don’t care if he’s underhung. I’d do him until the cows came home.

Post them.

I'm wrecked. My six year old Dane was diagnosed with osteosarcoma yesterday after I took him to the vet because he'd been limping a few days. The cancer is in the ankle of his right front leg. An x-ray of his lungs appeared clear.

Monday we'll see the oncologist where I'm sure the topic of amputation will be discussed. I've researched amputation and potential to extend life, but I can make little sense of the info which seems all over the place.

Therefore, I'd be grateful if DLers would kindly share their experiences with canine bone cancer. What worked for you? What not so much? Thank you.

Eldergays this thread is for you to post your feelings, thoughts, insight, wisdom, anecdotes on life as a gay man , the gay scene- mainly its past but also maybe comparing and contrasting it with the present time. Your views on how the experience of a gay man differs and has changed over time.The good and bad.Tales of woe,tales of joy. Funny anecdotes, heartwrenching anecdotes and stories.

All insight and personal experience about past eras of your life as a gay man. Your observations etc

View this thread as a treasure trove,a way to preserve your insight for the benefit of others in years to come. Define eldergay as liberally as you wish but I'd say anyone who first experienced the gay scene e after the year 2000 is not eldergay but anything pre 2000 needs to be preserved in this thread! Many thanks in advance-I think it is going to be an interesting and enjoyable read!

What's her first step? Divorce? Stay married and live apart? I wonder what the pre-nup says? Say screw it and write a tell-all?

It’s fun.

The creativity of the RedOne/Garibay years is still MIA, but this is the mindless candy we need right now.

Does he have a substantial appeal to gay men? I've always thought he was extremely attractive, although it seems like his looks are rarely commented on. I grew up watching him the "Rocky" movies, and later as a pubescent teenager came to realize how hot he was. I've always found his "sad puppy" eyes weirdly sexy. I remember as a teenager finding video clips online of the softcore porno he did before he was famous—he had some nice low-hangers and a decent-sized dick from what I recall. The steroids and intense weight training over the years have unfortunately taken a toll on his body, although he still looks good for his age.

It's one of those big ones with a red tuft on the head.

Every time I get someone to scare it away, it returns about 10-15 minutes later to continue hammering. I think it's trying to build a nest in the wood siding.

As soon as I recover I'm going to catch, kill, air-fry and eat the fucker.

Still looks 🔥

What’s up with Wentworth Miller’s love life? I can’t find anything post-Luke Macfarlane. Surely he’s dating someone now that he’s out and proud!

Am starting this thread because I'd really like to know. (Oh, okay, am ALSO starting this thread to tick off the "God, not ANOTHER Dollar Tree thread" crowd. Come and get me, killjoys!)

but ONLY if you vote. So do it and then be prepared for the biggest one you ever saw.

[bold]At that moment in time.[/bold]

Forget who aged better and all that bullshit.

This guy Roy Zimmerman is good. It's a sing a long to the music of "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" by The Tokens.

I posted this on the Trump hydroxychloroquine thread but I've decided it needs more attention and it's own thread.

So I completely ran through my birthday money and now I am getting 2 pairs of shorts with no matching shirts. All I have is a $50 iTunes gift card left. I basically just ran short of getting 2 shirts. I blame it on my grandma only getting me a $25 Amazon gift card. (I am thankful, but I cannot help but feel let down because I just watched her spend more money on other people in the past couple of months. She literally just spent over $300 on a pregnant family member. I would have been content with just $50). But my mom spoiled me haha

So yeah are there any clothing apps where you can use iTunes credit (iTunes/App Store gift card) to buy from? You know how like the games/other apps let you use that credit?

Because I want to see more of that “cop” from the first thread.

Overpriced. Unhealthy. Subpar food. Pseudo-upscale. Long wait times.

The other thread about Miss Samantha Heughan is almost done, and I thought of a good title.

Nod politely at the person who thinks "van down by the river" is comedy at its finest

“I’m gonna begin with the line—it’s not a line, it’s the truth: He never did anything to me. I never saw him do anything. And especially at this flash point in time, I’d have no reason to hold anything back. The guy has passed on. If anything—I’m not gonna say it would be stylish or anything like that, but right now is a good time to speak up. And if I had something to speak up about, I would totally do it. But no, I never saw anything; he never did anything.

Jackson was often the schoolmate he never had. Jackson got in touch with Mack after Home Alone, and suddenly they were hanging out. His parents neither encouraged nor discouraged the friendship. The way Mack sees it, Michael had a similar childhood, which is to say that he didn’t really have one, because his father was forcing fame upon him. So, at twenty-two years older than Mack, living in a place called Neverland, he felt the same age, in a way.

Mack and Jackson used to prank-call people. Jackson used to do these voices, real nerdy—“Hello, I’d like to buy a refrigerator. How big are your refrigerators?” And Mack would laugh and laugh.

The last time Mack saw him was in the men’s room at the Santa Barbara County Superior Courthouse in 2005. Mack was twenty-four. Michael was forty-six. Mack was testifying in Jackson’s defense in People v. Michael Jackson, in which the singer was charged with intoxicating and molesting a thirteen-year-old boy who had cancer. He was eventually acquitted.

There was a short recess during Mack’s testimony. Mack took a leak, and Michael came in. Jackson said, “We better not talk. I don’t want to influence your testimony.” They laughed a little at this. Michael Jackson, who had been more famous perhaps even than Macaulay Culkin when he was eight, ten, eleven years old, looked whipped. Exhausted. Drained. They hugged.

I'll start:

Dark blue, boot cut jeans.

Let's dish about life in 2021.

Five damned hair transplants.

Repent repent repent!

Hello all, could I please get some advice?

I graduated from a local college back in May 2019 with a BBA in marketing with a 3.5 GPA . I currently work as a financial/investment advisor in a city of about 100,000 in ETX. I have been fortunate to work at a laid back and flexible company that is paying for all of my licenses. My boss is 63 and wants to retire in 5-7 years. In my year as an advisor, I have made wonderful connections and joined the Symphony Board. I could eventually take over.

However, I have always wanted to be a lawyer since I was a kid. I took the LSAT last year and scored a 145 after a few weeks of studying. With my GPA and LSAT, I could get into some lower tier schools, (Loyola- NOLA or St Mary's) however, I have a lot of connections in my small town and would not mind coming back to practice law. I do like the idea of going to New Orleans though.

So, my question is: what would you do if you were in my situation? Would you give up your dreams to end up running your own independent brokerage firm?

You guys all talk about being smart and well educated, so looking for some advice.

♥️♥️

So many good movies, but you can choose only one.

There is nothing more satisfying. The world is finally sick of histrionic bitches’ shit.

My cat just turned one and he seems to have entered a stubborn phase. He’s a Taurus so I know it comes naturally but lately he’s become even more demanding. He starts trying to wake me up for wet food at about three am by howling in my ear and smacking my face. He has kibble out all night but he doesn’t like it as much. He also wants to go sit on the balcony all the time and when I finally bring him in he goes at the door and gives me the stink eye. We play a lot but he just seems to want what he wants when he wants it. Is this a phase or will I just have to learn to live with it?

After he was shuffled from foster home to foster home following his mum’s death.

Not even a global viral pandemic or a house fire could stop these gay dads from becoming new parents as they adopted a 17-year-old who spent five years in the foster care system after his mother passed away.

Chad and Paul Beanblossom of Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, adopted their son Michael, who they had fostered since 2019, over a Zoom call.

As court proceedings juddered to a sudden halt amid the coronavirus pandemic, 80 people – from friends to family to adoption experts – all joined the Beanblossoms on Zoom to witness the moving moment the adoption was formalised.

“The judge mentioned it was the largest Zoom adoption she had done to date,” Chad told Good Morning America on Tuesday (May 18).

The Beanblossoms have been married for five years, have three biological children and are also grandparents. They’ve fostered a few children before meeting Michael, who entered the system after his mother passed away, and now can’t imagine life without him.

Beaning with pride, the parents told GMA how they’d taken in Michael after he had bounced across nine different foster homes over a span of five years.

“When Mike came to us, he was labelled a higher risk because he had ran [away] before,” Chad explained.

“But we’ve never saw that kid. He just kind of came in and took over our hearts.

He’s taught us just as much, if not more, than we have him. Our whole world revolves around Michael. “We wanted the same thing that he did,” Chad said, speaking of how Michael himself requested he be formally adopted by the Beanblossoms. “It’s really hard to imagine our life without him.”

Allyson Sayne, a family services worker at the Tennessee Department of Children Services, also gave some background showing just how momentous the adoption process has been for the family.

“Paul and Chad Beanblossom have been great at advocating for Michael and giving him opportunities that he may have not gotten otherwise,” Sayne told the talk show.

“This family had to undergo a tragedy of a house fire a month before Michael’s adoption, but they focused on the fact that they had each other and didn’t let it affect Michael’s adoption.”

And with that, our faith in humanity has been renewed for at least another season.

There seems to be much confusion on here around the term

I forgot what a gem this show was. Right now I’m watching the Leif Garrett episode.

I recently found my dream home at an affordable price. This place in Massachusetts would be double the cost.

I will be working from home for next 6-12 months. But after that, I suspect I will be looking for new employment.

This beautiful place is, at minimum, 1-1.5 hours away from 2 cities with any job prospects,.

I am in Sales and make a good living.

I care about nature, the ocean, wildlife... That's what I love and where I feel at peace.

But holy shit, there are no jobs in Maine. I could only move because of my current position, which I suspect will end within the year.

Should I just go for it!? My god, I love that area and that home is everything I ever wanted.

Apparently he violated parole by having contact with a male minor and ended up back in jail in April. Supposedly he'll be out again in January of 2020. This guy is just a train wreck and obviously can't get control of himself.

His friend Kid Harpoon went on record and told Rolling Stone that he'd advised Harry to 'date women or men or whatever, get your heart broken, and write about it'. He has a song called Medicine in which he sings: 'the boys and the girls are in/I mess around with them'. One of his music videos features a man grinding on him.

Is he lgbt or just playing it up for his largely lesbian fanbase?

Today is the last day of a free 30-day Netflix trial, and that was more than enough time to watch everything I wanted to. I'm not interested in any of the new scripted shows that Netflix produces. Without them, the selection is not that different from what's available on Hulu, Amazon Prime or YouTube.

ON FACEBOOK tonight at 8:00 PM EST.... named Joey Josephs!

When you're walking down the sidewalk and the passerby ahead of you stops to let you pass by, as if there isn't already 6 feet between us and they aren't already masked.

Don't Tell Me Not To Cry on youtube and amazon - Connie Francis.

Inspired by the thread on "Have you ever suspected someone was a serial killer?"

Some people have mean, crazy, or psychopathic eyes -- I think we can all agree.

Post examples!

The recent story about the surgeon and his wife in CA, accused of raping hundreds of women (potentially), reminded me of the Joel Steinberg/Hedda Nussbaum affair of the late 1980s.

I was too young to remember when the story broke, but I've read about it in the years since, and something about it never sat right with me. I always felt she shared at least some responsibility. Joel and Hedda had a consensual, BDSM-type relationship initially, didn't they?

Obviously, Steinberg is a sociopath and a monster. What do we think about Hedda?

Why or why not? Which country do you live in?

This show is fucking insane. I don't know who to loathe more, Lisa the hag with jungle fever, the fake lesbian who goes to Australia, the no-neck monster who is trying to import a Filipino bride, the black widow with six kids who says the word "Williams" as "WEEEE-yums" or the complete fucking moron who has flown to Ukraine and been stood up by his online girlfriend of seven years on four separate occasions.

How have I not discovered this train wreck earlier?

Anyone know what ever happened to the Rockland Brothers? It was hard to choose which was the hottest. They all fucked like pros. At least one of them must be gay?

Please if you know, let us all know. Any update would be appreciated, along with updated pics.

Also, if there is a gay porn star from the past and you want to know where is he now, please post his picture and what you like about him.

Great news! It was an awesome show and Nina Van Horn should be a DL fave.

I'm almost 40 and have never been in a relationship (I've had sex...like, serious slut levels of sex).

That said, I've always been fascinated by gay men that have been in relationships because it's one thing in life I've never been able to do (like everything else, luck and oneself play a role). Curious about the following:

-How many relationships have you had? -How long did each last? -Why break up? -What was it about the person that made you decide "This person - with all their complexities - is better than being alone"? (This is what I particularly am fascinated by, as I cannot imagine someone ever deeming me better than being single)

Bring up SJWs and trans women of color every 5 seconds is a bad strategy!

What an extraordinary woman.

She died before I was born, but having had the chance to watch Judy, it kind of piqued my curiosity about her. So I ended up watching the Showtime documentary "Sid and Judy," and started reading about her, too.

Judy was a homely, chubby, "flyover," with a domineering stage mom, and a bisexual father.

I'm guessing that she was probably molested (or more) by Louis B. Mayer, as well.

Fed a steady diet of amphetamines and "Bennies," she still managed to (mostly) function in Hollywood.

But most of all, her extraordinary talent made her a living legend. And she still managed to perform through the fog of alcohol and pills.

She seemed to be a very complicated woman, and her rage and frustration really manifested itself, towards the end of her life. She finally got sick and tired of everyone trying to control her.

Zellwegger's performance was good, yet it seemed to be more of an imitation of Judy, rather than capturing her essence. The real Judy had so many sides to her. Strong, funny, compassionate and talented, yet moody, vulnerable and depressed. Just watching her interviews, you could see such a range of emotions.

Her story is one for the ages.

Identification needed!

We need to stop this evil fucking company before it turns us all into slaves.

This is fucking insane. Someone needs to do something about this. They have a fucking special about pure propaganda. How the fuck is this allowed on a "news" network?

Moving back to Thursday nights, premieres April 2. Cast includes the old favorites and new housewife, Leah Mcsweeney. Friend of Ramona and Dorinda's, Elyse Swaine, also joins the cast but will be in the Barbara K. role.

It’s on Hulu.

They have literally run out of any type of shows to air. They cannot even throw together a quickie reality show (because of social distancing)

So they have no choice but to start airing movie that people have seen, but that are favorites

Tonight they start with Titanic - quite an odd choice.

A doctor on CNN last night was saying the health experts realize that people who've been abstaining the past ten weeks will likely start seeking sex again and fairly soon, particularly now with states starting to reopen for business. So if you're one of those people, what will be the turning point for you? What personal metric, if any, will you need to see happen first -- short of a vaccine -- to make you feel comfortable with the idea of actively seeking sexual encounters again? And once you've reactivated your Grindr account, will you require certain concessions (e.g., masks, gloves) from potential partners or just go back to the usual (fuck 'n' go) and hope for the best?

As a child, Carl Switzer physically injured other children and vandalized studio equipment on the Our Gang set.

Alcohol and "trouble with the law" followed after he became an adult.

He managed to be married long enough to sire an offspring but the mother changed the kid's surname and distanced him from Carl.

Somebody shot him once but no details available. He survived that.

But eventually he was shot in the nuts and died at 31 while threatening someone with a knife. The shooter got off on self-defense.

After Out Gang he never starred in anything but his filmography of bit parts was ling and steady until his death.

“The Hunger Games: Mockingjay — Part 2” rolls into theaters this weekend, and if there’s one thing I’m not looking forward to it’s the inevitable “I liked the movie, but it wasn’t as good as the book” I’ll hear after the film.

You know how the traits in other people that make you the maddest are usually the ones that remind you about a part of yourself you don’t like? The “I liked the movie, but it wasn’t as good as the book” shtick is that for me. If I have a relationship with a book and it’s poorly done on the big screen, on some level, I’m galled. But on the other hand, not every movie can be “Watchmen,” and by now, I should be able to accept the nuance of adaptation, being an adult and all. On the whole, I’d argue that haggling over which is better, the book or the movie, is mostly pointless.

The operative word being “mostly.” Because there are extreme cases where book-lover rage is justifiable. Which cases? I pulled the Metacritic critic ratings of the top 500 movies on IMDb tagged with the “based on novel” keyword.1 I then2 found the average user rating of the source novel for each film on Goodreads, a book rating and review site.3 In the end, there was complete data for 382 films and source novels.

As the death toll in the novel coronavirus pandemic neared 100,000 Americans this Memorial Day weekend, President Trump derided and insulted perceived enemies and promoted a baseless conspiracy theory, in between rounds of golf.

In a flurry of tweets and retweets Saturday and Sunday, Trump mocked former Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams’s weight, ridiculed the looks of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and called former Democratic presidential rival Hillary Clinton a “skank.” He revived long-debunked speculation that a television host with whom Trump has feuded may have killed a woman and asserted without evidence that mail-in voting routinely produces ballot-stuffing.

He made little mention of the sacrifice Americans honor on Memorial Day or the grim toll of the virus.

In fact, Trump’s barrage of social media attacks stood in sharp contrast to a sober reality on a weekend for mourning military dead — the number of Americans whose lives have been claimed by the coronavirus has eclipsed the combined total of U.S. deaths from wars in Vietnam, the Persian Gulf, Iraq and Afghanistan.

1. COINTELPRO Techniques for dilution, misdirection and control of a internet forum

There are several techniques for the control and manipulation of a internet forum no matter what, or who is on it. We will go over each technique and demonstrate that only a minimal number of operatives can be used to eventually and effectively gain a control of a 'uncontrolled forum.'

Technique #1 - 'FORUM SLIDING'

If a very sensitive posting of a critical nature has been posted on a forum - it can be quickly removed from public view by 'forum sliding.' In this technique a number of unrelated posts are quietly prepositioned on the forum and allowed to 'age.' Each of these misdirectional forum postings can then be called upon at will to trigger a 'forum slide.' The second requirement is that several fake accounts exist, which can be called upon, to ensure that this technique is not exposed to the public. To trigger a 'forum slide' and 'flush' the critical post out of public view it is simply a matter of logging into each account both real and fake and then 'replying' to prepositined postings with a simple 1 or 2 line comment. This brings the unrelated postings to the top of the forum list, and the critical posting 'slides' down the front page, and quickly out of public view. Although it is difficult or impossible to censor the posting it is now lost in a sea of unrelated and unuseful postings. By this means it becomes effective to keep the readers of the forum reading unrelated and non-issue items.

Technique #2 - 'CONSENSUS CRACKING'

A second highly effective technique (which you can see in operation all the time at www.abovetopsecret.com) is 'consensus cracking.' To develop a consensus crack, the following technique is used. Under the guise of a fake account a posting is made which looks legitimate and is towards the truth is made - but the critical point is that it has a VERY WEAK PREMISE without substantive proof to back the posting. Once this is done then under alternative fake accounts a very strong position in your favour is slowly introduced over the life of the posting. It is IMPERATIVE that both sides are initially presented, so the uninformed reader cannot determine which side is the truth. As postings and replies are made the stronger 'evidence' or disinformation in your favour is slowly 'seeded in.' Thus the uninformed reader will most like develop the same position as you, and if their position is against you their opposition to your posting will be most likely dropped. However in some cases where the forum members are highly educated and can counter your disinformation with real facts and linked postings, you can then 'abort' the consensus cracking by initiating a 'forum slide.'

Technique #3 - 'TOPIC DILUTION'

Topic dilution is not only effective in forum sliding it is also very useful in keeping the forum readers on unrelated and non-productive issues. This is a critical and useful technique to cause a 'RESOURCE BURN.' By implementing continual and non-related postings that distract and disrupt (trolling ) the forum readers they are more effectively stopped from anything of any real productivity. If the intensity of gradual dilution is intense enough, the readers will effectively stop researching and simply slip into a 'gossip mode.' In this state they can be more easily misdirected away from facts towards uninformed conjecture and opinion. The less informed they are the more effective and easy it becomes to control the entire group in the direction that you would desire the group to go in. It must be stressed that a proper assessment of the psychological capabilities and levels of education is first determined of the group to determine at what level to 'drive in the wedge.' By being too far off topic too quickly it may trigger censorship by a forum moderator.

Even from afar? They say the Queennwill stay in lockdown and probably restrict herself to public addresses on television, but so what? How many people have every actually gotten to see the queen, or any other royal excep on TV? Have you? What about lesser titles? A lord this or earl that???? The closest I came was touring on of Lord Peter Palunbo’s homes in the US when he was on the grounds. The tour group (it was a Franklin Lloyd Wright house) was told that if we see him to say hello, he’s very approachable . But he was off riding.

No Wimbledon, either and the US Open is unclear at this time.

I have never seen Game of Thrones, that is, until yesterday when I finally decided to start the series. Big mistake. Why, you may ask? Because now I am addicted, and already halfway through season 2. It is addictive. I am obsessed and kicking myself for not watching this show sooner!

Besides the kicks story and acting and interesting writing, there are some hotties on this show! Hotties of all ages!!! I know there are the more obvious beauties (I am looking at you, Jaime Lannister!), there are also some guys who were not on the show for long that still were hotties.

Who are your favorites? Based off what I have seen so far, Joe Dempsie as Gendry is my favorite. A hottie and I love his character. He is literally always dirty, and I would still probably blow him.

Can you name some? 1981's "Fear No Evil" takes the cake for me—it has full-on male nudity (dicks included), flamboyant costumes, demons, and a locker room shower scene where the protagonist forces his bully to make out with him under some sort of spell. It's a major WTF movie in general, but also one of the positively gayest things I've ever seen.

Anyone one else? I'm 6' 2.

He's STILL pumped up.

In North Dakota on Friday, the Republican governor, Doug Burgum, decried a “senseless dividing line” between US citizens over whether masks should be worn in public during the coronavirus pandemic.

As he pleaded with citizens of his state to “try to dial up your empathy and your understanding”, Burgum was moved to the brink of tears.

“We’re all in this together and there’s only one battle we’re fighting,” he said. “And that’s the battle of the virus.”

As Donald Trump encourages states to reopen their battered economies, federal authorities are recommending covering the face in public when social distancing is difficult, for example in grocery stores.

Some states require residents to wear masks in public settings. North Dakota, where Burgum allowed reopening to start from 1 May, does not.

The president has notably refused to wear a mask in public, although he was photographed wearing one on a visit to a Ford plant in Michigan this week.

On Saturday, Secret Service officers who were with the president on a trip to a golf course were pictured wearing masks. Trump was not.

Some rightwing protesters have attracted publicity by refusing to wear masks, while some shopkeepers have reportedly sought to deny service to people wearing face coverings.

Speaking to reporters at the state capitol in Bismarck on Friday, Bergum said he “would really love to see in North Dakota that we could just skip this thing that other parts of the nation are going through, that they’re creating a divide. Either it’s ideological or political or something around mask versus no mask.

“This is I would say a senseless dividing line and I would ask people to try to dial up your empathy and your understanding. If someone is wearing a mask, they’re not doing it to represent what political party they’re in or what candidates they support.”

As he continued, Burgum struggled not to break down in tears.

“They might be doing it because they’ve got a five-year-old who’s been going through cancer treatments,” he said.

“They might have vulnerable adults in their life who currently have Covid-19 and are fighting.

“So again, I would just love to see our state, as part of being ‘North Dakota smart’, also be ‘North Dakota kind’, ‘North Dakota empathetic’, ‘North Dakota understanding’, to do this thing. Because if somebody wants to wear a mask, there should be no mask shaming.”

WASHINGTON — In October, President Donald Trump declares a state of emergency in major cities in battleground states, like Milwaukee and Detroit, banning polling places from opening.

A week before the election, Attorney General William Barr announces a criminal investigation into the Democratic presidential nominee, Joe Biden.

After Biden wins a narrow Electoral College victory, Trump refuses to accept the results, won’t leave the White House and declines to allow the Biden transition team customary access to agencies before the Jan. 20 inauguration.

Far-fetched conspiracy theories? Not to a group of worst-case scenario planners — mostly Democrats, but some anti-Trump Republicans as well — who have been gaming out various doomsday options for the 2020 presidential election. Outraged by Trump and fearful that he might try to disrupt the campaign before, during and after Election Day, they are engaged in a process that began in the realm of science fiction but has nudged closer to reality as Trump and his administration abandon long-standing political norms.

The anxiety has intensified in recent weeks as the president continues to attack the integrity of mail voting and insinuate that the election system is rigged, while his Republican allies ramp up efforts to control who can vote and how. Just last week, Trump threatened to withhold funding from states that defy his wishes on expanding mail voting, while also amplifying unfounded claims of voter fraud in battleground states.

“In the eight to 10 months I’ve been yapping at people about this stuff, the reactions have gone from, ‘Don’t be silly, that won’t happen,’ to an increasing sense of, ‘You know, that could happen,’” said Rosa Brooks, a Georgetown University law professor. Earlier this year, Brooks convened an informal group of Democrats and never-Trump Republicans to brainstorm about ways the Trump administration could disrupt the election and to think about ways to prevent it.

But the anxiety is hardly limited to outside groups.

Marc Elias, a Washington lawyer who leads the Democratic National Committee’s legal efforts to fight voter suppression measures, said not a day goes by when he doesn’t field a question from senior Democratic officials about whether Trump could postpone or cancel the election. Prodded by allies to explain why not, Elias wrote a column on the subject in late March for his website — and it drew more traffic than anything he’d ever published.

But changing the date of the election is not what worries Elias. The bigger threat in his mind is the possibility that the Trump administration could act in October to make it harder for people to vote in urban centers in battleground states — possibilities, he said, that include declaring a state of emergency, deploying the National Guard or forbidding gatherings of more than 10 people.

Such events could serve to depress or discourage turnout in pockets of the country that reliably vote for Democrats.

“That to me is that frame from which all doomsday scenarios then go,” he said.

To ward off such a scenario, Elias is engaged in multiple lawsuits aimed at making it easier to cast absentee ballots by mail and making in-person voting more available, either on Election Day or in the preceding weeks.

Biden, for his part, has suggested more than once that Trump might try to disrupt or delay the election. And his campaign grew very concerned this month when it was announced that election security briefings, which in past cycles had been delivered to candidates by the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security, would now be the province of the director of national intelligence. That post is currently held by John Ratcliffe, a Trump ally who was confirmed to the position Thursday. Ratcliffe was among the president’s chief Fox News defenders during the Russia investigation and has been a sharp critic of the FBI.

The Hill:

In addition to selling $30 shirts featuring the phrase"#YouAintBlack," the Trump campaign is spending $1 million on a digital ad campaign to slam former Vice President Joe Biden's comments that African American voters "ain't black" if they support President Trump.

President Trump’s reelection campaign is launching a $1 million digital ad buy underscoring former Vice President Joe Biden’s remarks that that African-American voters “ain’t black” if they are mulling backing the president.

The campaign’s plans, first reported by Politico and confirmed by The Hill on Saturday, include running a video montage of Biden’s remarks, made Friday on “The Breakfast Club” radio show. The campaign will also air a video underscoring Biden’s support for a 1994 crime bill that critics say resulted in spikes incarceration rates, particularly among people of color.

Biden’s camp has been playing defense since the former vice president set off an avalanche of criticism by saying that “if you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black.”

Biden apologized for his remarks hours later, admitting he’d been too "cavalier."

“I know that the comments have come off like I was taking the African American vote for granted. But nothing could be further for the truth. I've never ever done that, and I've earned it every time I've run,” he said.

The Trump campaign is seeking to capitalize on Biden’s comments as it pushes to make gains among black voters. The video montage will be featured nationally, while the clip on the crime bill will be deployed in swing states. The videos will appear on Instagram, Facebook, Google and other platforms.

The campaign is also selling $30 shirts with “#YouAintBlack” emblazoned on them.

The president, who got only 8 percent support among African Americans in 2016, is eager to make marginal gains with black voters, hoping that even nominal swings could ease his path in key battleground states.

Trump and his campaign have touted his signing of a landmark criminal justice bill into law and dropped millions of dollars highlighting the story of a black woman whose sentence Trump commuted.

I often have something I want to post about Trump, but don't always think it is worth an entire thread by itself. I thought that one thread for such "President" Trump things might be worth a try.

A video of Indian-American man raising a toast at his gay son’s wedding is doing rounds on the internet in which he reminisces how his son came out as gay.

A video of Indian-American man delivering an emotional speech at his gay son’s wedding is doing rounds on the internet in which he reminisces how his son came out as homosexual in high school. Dr Vijay Mehta, a resident of central Texas, raised a toast to his son, Parag Mehta, and talked about his journey as a parent in accepting Parag’s decision to marry Vaibhav Jain.

During his speech, Dr Mehta speaks about the need to be braver and more compassionate while seeking truth and spreading love. He said that he was one of the luckiest fathers around in 1997 when his son was valedictorian, spelling bee champion, and doing a great job as a Romeo in plays.

“On 27 March, at 4.25pm on that Friday night, Parag had a very small speech - ‘Dad and Mom, I am gay. I have known it since I was 10 years old’,” he added.

Dr Mehta added Parag revealed to him that he had known it since he was 10 years old but earlier he was confused. Parag told him that he thought he will hide fact until his father’s death so he won’t be embarrassed by his son’s sexuality. He also confided that he attempted suicide during his high school days but didn’t succeed.

Dr Mehta said that their life went from “the best of the time” to “the worst of the time”. In his speech, Dr Mehta acknowledges that he was a homophobic person and decided to find the best “treatment centre” in the country and find the cure for it. After the revelation, he went to a medical library and found out that there’s nothing to be cured because it is not a defect or disease.

“I asked a simple question, ‘Do I love my son any less at 4.31 than I loved him at 4.25?’. And a long pause and the answer was, ‘No, I still love him the same’,” he said.

Netizens loved the toast raised by a father for his gay son and many of them shared their own of story. “It's really rare for an Indian dad to be so accepting. Well done to him ❤️,” commented a user. “My son is gay...... there I have said it. Feels a lot better to acknowledge it openly in front of the whole world. I'm lucky to have a son who is intelligent, funny and has a whole lot of friends who accept him for what he is,” commented another user.

I haven’t even seen one of these fat, stinking, waddling creature in months and it’s been wonderful. My sinuses are clear for the first time in years, now that my nose isn’t being assaulted with with fish fumes. I feel sorry for their husbands, though...having to be locked up all the time with this fat heifers.

I invited my cute neighbor over the other day, despite the quarantine. He said “Sure, I’ll bring my wife.” Ugh. The poor dear must have Stockholm Syndrome. I told him I suddenly remembered I had just set off some bug bombs, so the house wasn’t safe, and I got in my car and drove away.

As Part II has been paywalled already to nonsubscribers, I am starting a new thread. Do let's try to keep general news and gossip about royals everywhere here . . .

A quick scan of Billed-Blader, my favourite go-to for the Danish royals, confirms the ongoing case of bad acne that the next heir, Prince Christian is suffering. It's a miserable thing to suffer despite not being life-threatening, and as neither his mother nor father ever seem to have suffered from it if photos of them as young people are to be believed, I wonder where it comes from? It's bad enough for a boy, but worse for a girl, so hopefully the increasingly pretty Princess Isabella will not also go through it. Christian is also wearing braces on his teeth.

He's quite handsome already and growing up quickly.

Even such common sense things like keeping yourself safe during a pandemic?

On the one side you have the deplorables wanting to open everything and refusing to follow simple rules like wearing a mask, but also on the other side you have the #staysafe, etc. assholes. No middle ground.

From what I have read, such politization of the pandemic hasn't been done in other countries, at least not in this scale.

We’ll have a big, beautiful healthcare plan that will cover everyone

Why is this even a thing since she and Trumptard will be gone before it can be used? It must be funded privately; this can't be taxpayer money. What a waste of green space.

Everything seemed fine until I went to fill up my cat's water dish and noticed that the water from the tap is running brown!

This looks quite grim, though it could go one of two ways in terms of predictability. I feel as though I essentially know what the outcome will be based on the general premise, but I'm always up for an atmospheric wintry horror film. I was taken aback to see that Alicia Silverstone makes a surprise appearance in the trailer.

Trump and Republicans come out against further stimulus payments in May, as they want to see how "reopening" of the economy goes. 🙄 🙄

This, after 35 million have filed for unemployment. 🙄 🙄

Other idiot Rethugs such as Senatrix Lindsay Graham have also come out against giving Americans much needed cash infusions.

The economy is only partially re-opening, and the likely 50 million jobs lost so far are not going to be regained for quite some time. It's time to give every American $2,000 a month for the rest of the year at least.

Bloomingdale's? Hotel Pennsylvania?

The most shocking was one of the first I discovered as suburban teenager: downstair's Men's Room off the Waiting Room at Grand Central.

Well?

I am just tired of this over-exposed woman. Every time she screeches out a song she wins some award. Every time she opens her mouth to talk I feel embarrassed for her. She has no class or finesse.

I think part of her appeal is that she's morbidly obese and finally every fatty out there has a "role model" who is "making it in a thin woman's world". Quite frankly I'd much rather see and listen to the much talented Beth Ditto.

Why aren't people checking labels to see where the item was made? Instead they decide on their purchase by the cost and NOT where the item was made

If there is this backlash against China, why won't people NOT STOP buying from China? As shouldn't we support made in America products to stimulated the economy? yet that is not happening

Why?

Holy shit! Corey Stoll!

I have always love and idolized Leslie Cheung. Still wondering why he had to kill himself in 2003 at the age of 46.

Still miss him after so many years

“ In 2010, he was voted the third "Most Iconic Musicians of All Time" (after Michael Jackson and The Beatles) by CNN with more than 100,000 people casting their votes.[18] CNN considered Cheung as the "Most Beautiful Man from Hong Kong Cinema" and one of "Asia's 25 Greatest Actors of All Time".

—going on about “In order to be happy, you have to stand in the presence of God. And I’m like, gurl!...That’s right, you have to be presence...That’s what she said, You have to stand in the presence of God.”

And then she started to walk off without picking up her dog’s shit.

I shouted from the window, “Pick up your dog’s shit, CHRISTIAN LADY!”

“But it’s watery.”

“And that’s MY problem?” I responded.

She turned around and picked it up, all while continuing her conversation on the phone.

I called out, “Thank you!”

As she walked off, still on the phone, she hollered, “You didn’t have to curse.”

I shouted, “HAVE A BLESSED DAY!”

Phrases people get wrong for $1,000, Alex.

What other misspoken phrases Crack you up? It's Cool, Calm and Collected and For All Intents and Purposes. I get how phonetically people can screw it up.

It's beginning to look more like it.

At the link below is an account by a contemporary of Robert Mapplethorpe who, when visiting Mapplethorpe in NYC, got invited to an exclusive scat, drug, and witchcraft orgy in a tony townhouse on the Upper East Side. It all starts on page 5, any guesses as to who the participants were? Was this the type of thing that was known to happen in the scene? I was too young to know the Mineshaft or the various baths, but this sounds way way more intense than any of those venues could offer.

Surely he knows what comes at the end of that title. And, to flip that, why was Charlie always passed over by Starkist? Was it a human resources conspiracy? Nepotism?

Maybe I'm just a big ole MARY! or a big square, but I am fascinated and a bit shocked by the whole idea of escorts and how someone hires one.

I was curious if anyone has done this and whether it was a good experience? I always thought it would be risky and icky but several of my professional friends - very hot fit men who could get what they wanted at a bar - say that they do it when they're traveling because it's easier and more of a professional exchange - they know what they are getting.

Thoughts?

I just saw this commercial and thought it might have been written by Don Draper.

My husband is going to be transferred to Keesler Air Force Base and I am a bit scared to move to a southern city. We are both gays.

Has anyone else seen this? It's a great, quasi-horror movie about a sailor who falls in love with a mysterious woman who may in fact be a siren. It was one of Dennis Hopper's first major roles. The whole thing has a strange, dreamlike quality, and is visually similar to "Carnival of Souls." Getting to see Hopper's young, tight ass in those sailor pants throughout is an added bonus.

“Everything counts in large amounts, and Brad has had hundreds of millions of dollars to try to move Donald Trump’s numbers,” Wilson said. “He can’t.”

“Parscale was pocketing millions for himself and his companies, Wilson said, as Trump’s poll numbers sank.”

“We found out a couple days ago, not only is brad cashing in on the campaign and the money that hard-working Americans are sending to Donald Trump because they think he is going to use it to get re-elected, but Brad is getting [Paycheck Protection Program] payments for his companies. The struggling Parscale Enterprises who are raking in tens of millions of dollars from Donald Trump did not need additional millions of dollars from taxpayers, at least in my opinion.”

Rats are growing increasingly aggressive in their hunt for food as restaurants across the US remain shuttered to slow the spread of the coronavirus, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has warned.

With many restaurants now only open for takeout services, the bins that used to be filled with scraps and refuse the rodents once feasted on are much emptier — and they are getting desperate.

"Some jurisdictions have reported an increase in rodent activity as rodents search for new sources of food. Environmental health and rodent control programs may see an increase in service requests related to rodents and reports of unusual or aggressive rodent behavior," said the CDC in their release last week.

It advises that "sealing up access into homes and businesses, removing debris and heavy vegetation, keeping garbage in tightly covered bins, and removing pet and bird food from their yards" to ward off the pests.

The increased rodent activity around residential neighborhoods has health authorities concerned, with rats known to spread illnesses including salmonella and Weil's disease, according to pest control firm Rentokil.

In several major cities in the US, reports have emerged of desperate rats swarming the streets in the search for food.

Authorities in New Orleans have launched a campaign to trap and kill the rodents, reported CBS News, after videos on social media showed rats scurrying through empty streets usually thronged with revelers. The city's mayor, LaToya Cantrell, said the rats were going "crazy."

In New York City authorities have pledged to step up the fight against rats, amid reports of rodents swarming garbage on 6th Avenue and even resorting to infanticide and cannibalism to survive.

Urban rodentologist Bobby Corrigan told The Washington Post that a pest expert sent him a photo after a gruesome rat battle in Queens. A hungry nest of rats had turned on each other, Corrigan believes. A pile of rat limbs on the sidewalk was all that remained.

Sorry, can't think of any others for the poll.

'It eats him alive inside': Trump's latest attack shows endless obsession with Obama

The president seems more interested in blaming his predecessor than tackling the coronavirus – so what’s driving Trump’s fixation?

Is she losing it? Needs attention?

Where is the line drawn between whimsical and just fucking stupid when it comes to naming pets? Of course, most of us want unique names for our furry friends, and there's certainly nothing wrong with such old boring standards as Muffin, Bootsie, or Spot, although many pets have some pretty exotic names these days, such as Delilah, Oreo, and Quasar.

But there's a darker side to pet naming. I've met a pug named Wormy and a cat called Fester. These aren't nicknames that have been given to animals with regular names—these are their real names.

That said, most of us do have affectionate nicknames for our pets. Isis, my Siberian Husky (and she was named before the Middle Eastern…unpleasantness), is known around my house as Icy-juicy, Isitos, Isis-Catches-Mices, and Icicle.

Are there pet names that you simply couldn't believe—either proper names or nicknames? Please tell us.

The golfer-in-chief hit the links for a second straight day Sunday even as the nation faces a grim Memorial Day with the coronavirus death toll at close to 100,000.

President Trump headed back to his golf club in northern Virginia in another signal that he is seeking to return to his pre-pandemic weekend routine.

The jarring images of Trump taking swings came as the president slammed Columbia University for its study claiming 36,000 American lives were lost by the president’s decision to wait to start closing down the nation.

“Columbia University is a liberal, disgraceful institution, to write that,” Trump said. “They play right to their little group of people.”

Trump also defended his use of hydroxychloroquine to ward off coronavirus in the interview on “In Focus with Sharyl Attkisson."

Trump also defended his use of the controversial drug hydroxychloroquine to ward off coronavirus in the interview on “Full Measure” with Sharyl Attkisson.

The president insists the drug is useful despite studies showing it causes higher death rates in COVID-19 patients.

“Hydroxy has had tremendous rave reviews,” Trump said in the interview, which was taped Friday. “I believe in it enough that I took (it)."

Trump also decided it was a good time to escalate his on-again off-again feud with fired ex-Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

He said Sessions, whom he personally selected for the job, was not “mentally qualified” to be the nation’s top law enforcment official.

Trump and Sessions are trading barbs as the one-time #MAGA ally fights for his political life in a contentious Republican primary for his old U.S. Senate seat from Alabama.

Trump made the combative remarks on a weekend that should have been a somber time for the White House.

The Memorial Day holiday is usually marked by ceremonies honoring those that died on the nation’s battlefields. But this year, America is also mourning the death of about 100,000 people in the coronavirus pandemic.

Kid Dynamite.

They had a few other good songs. Why did none of their other songs do well??

This is such a classic, good song too. It’s a shame it didn’t do better. It peaked at 29 in 1983 Hot 100 and then was re-released in 1989 and peaked at 26.

Hawn has been making ignorant comments for years about Black people, Jews and Asians. He is openly racist and sees no issue with it.

Both of them have gotten together to make a new video series called “Dear Black People” where they will give “life tips” to Black people on how to actually be successful etc. At first people thought it was an apology video and they were trying to make money off of it, but turns out they’re trying to make money off of satire, and classify the series as a “comedy”. Apparently their racism is hysterical to them.

Hi all, it’s me, the guy who was (and still is) in lust with his cousin. I’ve been inactive on here for a pretty long while, but I thought I’d drop back in to give an update to those who care 😊. Last year was pretty on and off for us as far as our hanging out as frequently as we used to goes. I think the basis of it was a really petty argument that we got into sometime last summer (can’t even remember what it was about to be honest), but a couple of personal things as well as how fucked up the world has been as of late sort of made us realize that life’s too short to be angry, especially with family.

Anyway, he was over here at my place last weekend. I hadn’t seen him since he came over and stayed a couple of days back in February. Since that time, our communication had sort of fallen back to texts, phone calls and chats on social media. I was kind of surprised when he called me up out of the blue to see what I was doing, and when he asked if he could come over I said of course. We were both a little apprehensive because of this Covid shit, but he was wearing a mask when he first arrived and said he hasn’t had any symptoms (neither have I). So, he came over last week with beer (and it was Corona! How fitting!), and what immediately caught my attention was how his dick was bulging in the outfit he was wearing. He was in a white cotton t-shirt and black shorts that came just below his knees when he was standing, and both the shirt and the shorts had that “Fuck it” stickman logo on them, the one that you sometimes see on bumper stickers and such. I told him I loved it, but the entire time he was here I could not take my eyes off of his cock looking like it was about to burst from those damn shorts. I asked him at one point if he was wearing underwear and he side-eyed me as though to say “Come on, what do you think?” And what made it even better was when he would sit down, he would pull the shorts high up on his thighs and expose those long, creamy legs of his. I knew he loved giving me an eyeful, and I couldn’t help but snap some pics. Here's one...

At least Andrew Jackson was actually from the frontier states.

From throwing Manafort, Flynn, Bannon, Sessions, Cohen, Scaramucci, Daniels, Epstein and now Parscale under the bus, to creating protectionist trade wars that ruin CEOs, farmers and steel workers, to savaging Romney, Jeb, Cruz, McCain, Flake and Massie, to expanding the Welfare State and Welfare Queens with economic stimulus socialism, to adding to the vast, Democrat child rape problem, to milking federal funds for lavish State Department parties and extra security for Mar-a-lago and Trump Tower handouts, to all the Republicans trapped in Blue States who won't get corona care because their governor voted against Trump.

(I searched DL for it and didn’t see a thread, so don’t bark at me if this is duplicative!)

Has anyone seen this? I ran into it by chance last night and noticed Bob the Drag Queen and others from Drag Race in it. The show is shot like a documentary, and the episode I saw was in Gettysburg, where the drag queens (mostly out of drag) interview local residents about perceptions of LGBT people and drag. They intervene in a few people’s lives to bring them into the drag world for a new experience.

I liked the spirit and the approach and the direction of it a lot.

The only thing I do not get, and it’s not only depicted on this show, is the implication that being gay and dressing in drag are on and the same.

The show featured a young high school graduate who lives with his family and applies makeup in secret. It ends with his big drag debut and his family accepting him for who he is.

It featured a woman who is a former “god hates fags” type of antichrist christian who is now reformed and apologizes to her lesbian daughter by doing drag.

And the message throughout is that gay people should be accepted for who they are, and who they are is people who wear makeup.

I’m totally cool with drag queens and people who wear makeup. But I am gay and I’ve never wanted to wear makeup. Or a wig. And certainly not furniture foam padding to change my shape.

This isn’t a trans thread or a trans issue. Drag is gay-gay not trans-queer. Generally speaking, a major distinction between transgenderism and drag queens is that drag queens present as men most of the time. And so it makes me feel some kind of way to see these great interactions with potentially homophobic people informed by the implication that being a gay mean necessarily means wanting to dress in drag. I just don’t get that.

She looks beautiful, feminine and she dances wonderfully! Good for her, having all this fun and confidence!!!!

So, I've asked this question of exclusive bottom friends / fbs, but I'm curious to hear from others: If you're an exclusive bottom, can you tell us.. why? I'm vers - I top about 70% of the time, but I love bottoming, too, so I totally understand why bottoming is amazing. But, so is topping. I mean feeling a tight, well defined ass clamp down your cock? That's a pretty joyous experience.

I can understand the guys who are 100% tops - for some penetrative sex in their butts is painful, uncomfortable or unstimulating. For others, they're dealing with internalized homophobia that says they're more "masc" if they only top.

But I don't quite understand why 100% exclusive bottoms don't like topping. Is it too stimulating? I mean, you're putting your dick in something warm and tight. What about that doesn't do it for you? Did you try topping and discover it wasn't for you or are you - gasp - a gold star bottom? If you don't like topping, do you still like rimming a guy?

Come on, bottoms, spill it.

Or old, or any songs that have all of a sudden popped into your head for no reason. Name a few.

Article points to what seems like historically cyclical patterns of declines within countries and empires and it looks pretty dire. Economic and political chaos throughout society and lots of deaths as a result. It outlines the conditions that exist that make such turn of events possible and likely. Even if doesn't manifest itself in the 2020s the article makes a very compelling case that this dramatic horrible turn of events and adjustment is coming and inevitable.

Being circulated. Just saw a wingnut passing it off on another site.

“Spoke with a friend of mine who works in DC. He is sick to his stomach every day he goes to work. He said Democrat congress members are literally giddy with the results the virus is having on the economy.

They eagerly compare unemployment and market numbers every morning in the halls, offices and over phone conferences, laughing and mocking Trump as they watch the economy he built crumble. They are actually excited about what the virus is doing to America during an election year and the opportunities it presents to go after Trump.

He said that their intention is to drag the shutdown out as long as possible in order to crash the economy (Trumps strength) right before the election to make Trump look bad. He said Pelosi is ordering/threatening Democratic state governors to keep their states shutdown as long as possible assuring them they will be rewarded when they take the Senate and White House. All at the expense of America.

This isn’t rumor or opinion; this is happening.”

#Eyeswideopen

I was wondering who this woman was as she started to appear alongside Trump at his press conferences and media statements on coronavirus. She seems very reassuring ,intelligent and calm.An excellent medical history on the fight against aids and I LOVE her fashion especially her array of colourful scarves!👌🥰 She is going to be an important public face in the USA battle against coronavirus and by implication prominent outside of the USA. My impression of her is based on limited short time to gain an impression but I like her.Definitely better than just older men in suits being the faces of the crisis politically.

This is kind of complicated, so bear with me. I have lived in the same apartment for over 5 years as a "subletter," paying my roommate the same amount every month without knowing the total rent of the apartment. My roommate told me yesterday that he is moving out, but doesn't want to break the lease since it's entirely in his name and not up until next year. His solution is for me to find a new roommate, pay him my rent plus the new roommate's rent every month, which he will then pay to the landlord.

Sounds sketchy, right? I asked him straight up what he pays for rent since I'll have to advertise that number when I look for a new roommate. But he kept tripping over his answer and I still don't have a solid number. So I'm almost certain he's bullshitting me. Since I want to keep living in this apartment, should I ask him again how to properly advertise his room or risk getting the landlord involved... who may kick me out and/or raise the rent? Help!

Former Vice President Joe Biden suggested Friday morning that an African-American radio personality “ain’t black” if he was questioning whether he should support the presumptive Democratic nominee over President Trump in the general election.

After an aide interrupted the interview to say that the former vice president was running short on time, Charlamagne Tha God asked that Biden pay the studio a visit the next time he’s in New York.

“It’s a long way until November,” he said. “We’ve got more questions.”

“You’ve got more questions?” Biden replied. “Well, I tell you what, if you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black.”

Charlamagne said that asking challenging questions of the Democratic candidate has nothing to do with supporting Trump.

“It don’t have nothing to do with Trump. It has to do with the fact that I want something for my community.”

Biden empathetically interrupted, telling Charlamagne to “take a look at my record, man. ... I have a record that is second to none,” and promised that he’d join the talk show in person.

Shortly after the interview aired, #youaintblack and #JoeBidenisaracist began trending on Twitter.

Trump campaign senior adviser Katrina Pierson said in a statement that Biden’s remarks make clear “that Joe Biden believes Black men and women are incapable of being independent or free thinking.”

Symone Sanders, a Biden campaign senior adviser, wrote on Twitter following the backlash Friday morning that Biden’s comments were made in “jest.”

“Let’s be clear about what the VP was saying: He was making the distinction that he would put his record with the African American community up against Trump’s any day. Period,” wrote Sanders.

The remark came at the end of a wide-ranging interview about black America on “The Breakfast Club,” a program popular for its candid and often contentious interviews with celebrities and politicians alike. Several Democratic candidates stopped by during the primary cycle to make their pitch, including an infamous appearance by Sen. Kamala Harris, who was mocked for an answer she gave regarding music and marijuana.

Biden has already said he wants to pick a woman as his running mate, and the campaign has been pressured for months to select a black woman, pointing to the African-American community’s overwhelming support of the former vice president during the primary process, helping push him to frontrunner status. Several prominent black female politicians, including Harris and Stacey Abrams, have received notable publicity.

Recent news that Sen. Amy Klobuchar was also being vetted for vice president sounded alarms in the black community, especially considering the heavy criticism of her record prosecuting African-Americans in Minnesota.

During the interview with Charlamagne, Biden would not acknowledge any specific people on the vice presidential shortlist, but said that “multiple black women” are being considered.

Everything started to look cleaner starting in 1987 or so.

wee wee chills - My brother mentioned these, and I had no idea what he was talking about. Shivers when I pee? Never. An hour later at the urinal, I noticed it and realized it was something that had happened all my life without consciously realizing it. Decades of not noticing something that happens to me every day.

11 bedrooms, elevator, bidet!

What's some good summery French pop?

For all the shitty movies, scripted tv shows & scenes that were called "riveting" over the years, here's one story that actually fits the term.

but it's a moment in time and rewatching it is just not the same. Still funny but not gut busting funny. This first clip from Curb Your Enthusiasm had me falling off the sofa and laughing til I cried and the giggling for another 10 minutes. Don't know why, it just did.

I'm sure this has happened to everyone. If so post it.

On May 23, 2010, ABC’s "Lost" ended its six-season run with a two-hour finale that drew nearly 14 million viewers and about as many critical think pieces. How does it hold up a decade later?

Is 24 yo Irishman AWG cute or a little sexier than that? NSFW pics follow

I wonder how Trump and Pence are spending the weekend.

Where can you find those in NYC now? I mean the kind in the movies, where everyone knows each other, the landlady watches who comes in through her window with curlers in her hair, people hang out on the front stoop talking, laundry lines out the back windows, people smoking on the fire escape, etc. I want to find a small studio apt in a building like that to experience NYC. Would it be in Brooklyn?

OK the Tallulah Bankhead episode was a riot, and the Fred MacMurray & Danny Thomas episodes had their moments, but overall the shows seemed like a bad parody of I Love Lucy and just so obviously formulaic. Lucy's increasingly bitter, haggard look and awful new hairstyle didn't help things much. The awful Howard Duff/Ida Lupino episode, in which the Mertzes barely appeared, was the nadir of the series, though the Paul Douglas and Milton Berle episodes give it a run for its money.

Have you noticed his creepy obsession with straight guys when he writes for Queerty? When he’s not writing subpar snarky commentary articles on gay “celebrities” and the occasional SJW article, he’s always writing about: straight male seduction, straight men cuddling, down low straight guys, straight men. It’s really creepy because it seems to be that those are the articles he likes to write about most.

Any love for her on DL?

I’ve posted one of her signature songs from the early years of her career. According to Wikipedia, she’s sold 50 million albums.

Post them please

She is the epitome of lesbian sexuality, for me. Intelligent, highly educated, tall...just so goddamn sexy. How is she viewed in France? Does she have a good reputation? Is she, even rumored, family? Chime in and share your thoughts.

Virtual video.

Featuring Nikki Blonsky, Ricki Lake, Martin Short, Sean Hayes, Harvey Fierstein, Derek Hough, and more!

Just what I needed.

Btw, who's the cutie with the baby hanging from his chest?

[quote] When the university told my wife about the sexual-harassment complaints against her, we knew they weren’t true. We had no idea how strange the truth really was.

The story really isn't as bizarre as she makes it though. I've heard of pettier and stranger revenge stories (fictional as they may be).

Have you ever eaten a recipe from Medieval or Roman times?

These photos just keep getting better and better.

Does he mean ‘Nobel Prize’?

Pretty sure journalists get Pulitzer prizes, not ‘Noble Prizes.’

Ugly, stupid state filled with garbage people.

What makes Texans so proud of their shitty state?

Sunday the whim to review china, especially fine, patterns hit me. I am so heartbroken. So many beautiful patterns discontinued. UK people, what happened to Royal Doulton? Yes, times have changed a bit but their current collections...oh my.

One of my favorites...Carlyle by Royal Doulton (discontinued, of course).

He seems to be making decisions based on what will cause the most death in the long run.

Is he actively trying to kill as many Americans as possible? Does he think this will let him retain power? Or is all the death just a convenient distraction from him trying to grift as much money from the federal pot as possible?

Surely it can’t just be incompetence. Too many of his cronies are raking in the cash from this crisis for it just to be stupidity.

I love Helen Merrill's recordings from the mid- to late-1950s; their aesthetic really captures the era for me.

Anyway, I've always wondered: what makes someone a jazz vocalist (as opposed to a pop vocalist)? In today's music the question is self-evident, but in the 1950s it seems more ambiguous. Did it have to do with how they marketed themselves, or the musicians that backed them (eg Clifford Brown in the case of Helen Merrill)? Obviously Judy Garland was not a jazz vocalist, but she sang a lot of jazz standards.

I suppose Nat King Cole is an even better example, because some of his recordings were "jazz" and others were "pop." But did his vocal style itself change?

Thank you in advance, DL, for helping my unsophisticated ear understand.

I have been looking at these pictures and he looks great. He used to be way too scrawny. What a change!

I was surprised to see so many people on DL who knew about Assyria and ancient cultures but how much does DL know about African history?

Do you know about Great Zimbabwe and the Kingdom of Kush?

What else?

Do you think it’s work related? To work out? For drinks? A running partner?

Gurl, just stop.

This could even be roleplay with someone. Public places? S&M? Other? How dirty/extreme have you gone?

I've done public a bunch of times. It was hotter in theory. :(

When attempting to post something benign, with a photo, about Soon-Yi Previn and Woody Allen? Cannot post, and I have a paid account.

How’s it going, sweethearts? I’ve missed you. What’s the latest? Hope you’re all doing well and are staying safe.

I’ve just seen that Richard Madden and Froy are a thing now. That’s hot. Anyone have their sex tape? x

Professior Adrian Hill describes the efforts to create a vaccine as a "race against the virus disappearing, and against time".

Mine is Jason Robards Jr. I saw him onstage as well as in films several times, and I always felt he was walking through his part.

A Thousand Clowns was an exception, because it's a comedy, and back in the 1960s actors played comedy *comically*, putting the jokes over with a sarcastic or whatever inflection.

But in straight drama, especially heavy pieces like A Moon For the Misbegotten, Robards wasn't acting in any sense, just mouthing lines. Yet everyone thought he was the consummate American actor. I always wondered how Colleen Dewhurst found the energy to keep her role going night after night while playing against that lump of nothing.

Elizabeth Taylor might be another instance, though I always enjoyed her. She certainly was glamorous, especially as Regina in The Little Foxes. I remember a dinner party back in the day, when everybody was tearing her Regina apart. Later, I walked home with one of the guests, and he admitted that he thought she was good but he wasn't willing to take on the fury of her detractors.

And she really had them. I could never figure out why some gays hated her so much. Does anyone here remember Terry Miller? Well-known in gay theatrical circles. He called her "pig woman." Isn't that really just...demented? Did she shoot his dog or something?

Anyway, here's everybody's chance to name his or her pet acting horror. I'm sure some of you have them. Ernest Borgnine? Benedict Cumberbatch? Please not Keanu Reeves--he's such a nice guy. And so mysterious. Is he Everydude? No dude? The perfect Neo.

This is kind of fun.

Thoughts?

Should I go?

Desmond Lee and Atip Anantawan

Let’s not forget this and why the fuck are those motherfuckin idiots at CNN not running it around the clock?

Why didn't he make it big?

I thought that Alex was probably more talented than anyone else in both casts.

What an amazing voice.

I have spoken to Danny a few times. He is nothing of what you all claim he is. He isn’t the diva asshole some of you claim he is and he isn’t some whore sleeping around with everyone who looks good. He is a very intelligent, hard working, open minded, liberal man with a focus on raising his daughter like no man I’ve ever seen. He is a good man.

He did not contract HIV by being a “whore”, he contracted it from someone he was seeing at the time who lied to him about the severity of his condition. The man lied to Danny about how virulent and positive he was, and transmitted the virus to Danny through oral sex. Danny always had protected sex with this man otherwise.

Maybe you all should grow the fuck up and stop knocking on and judging a man you have never met, and hopefully never will have the privilege and honor of meeting.

PS there is nothing wrong with enjoying sex. Don’t be hateful he has/had a healthy one while you can’t get someone to even look at you. Thanks.

And I ask you all to take a look at yourselves and your own lives and actions before you judge and tear apart a man you do not know in the slightest. Why do you have such animosity toward him?

How do you know he was a whore, or still is? Or that him being a whore is why he has HIV? I think it’s time you all reflect on yourselves.

Having a nude leaked isn't equivalent to being a “whore”

I had an old friend that I knew since high school (in the 80's). We finally had a falling out while in our 40's, for a variety of reasons. Proper phone etiquette was one of the reasons, a small one, but the one that broke the camel's back.

In college we naturally drifted apart and later lived in different states and during the Facebook explosion of the mid-00's we reconnected. He would call me from time to time and we'd always chat. Like three times a year. There was one in-person visit (his home).

Years later after he got a permanent boyfriend, he seemed to take a weird turn mentally and kept losing jobs and was home all day, so he began calling me more and more until soon it was once a week. I thought it was too much but indulged because he seemed to be going through a rough patch and we still had things to talk about. There was a little weird behavior on his part (I'm hardly perfect either), but also good laughs and shared conversation so it was fine.

If ever I wasn't there he'd leave a message asking him to call him back.

But eventually he got weirder about calling me. Soon, I stopped answering the phone on his weekly call as he talked into the machine, because he'd become a creep to talk to in the first few minutes of the conversation. He began to start every conversation with, "Why didn't you answer? Were you busy or something?" And if I didn't have a solid answer he'd get slightly incredulous. Saying, "If you don't have an excuse for picking up I assume you don't want to talk to me." Huh? Then he'd seem to get it out of his system and cheer up and it was fine. I kept ignoring the red flags.

Then things got worse...

Recently, we have eaten avocado with breakfast and my boyfriend has started feeling sick afterwards with stomach cramps, nausea and having to go to the toilet eventually. We removed the avocado for a couple of breakfasts and he was fine. We re-introduced avocado and he immediately got sick, worse than the prior times. He used to eat avocado without any problems. So it seems like a recent thing.

Does anyone else suffer from avocado-eating allergies? Do you just have to avoid it? He loves avocado.

Seriously, she’s just so fake. Watching this crap fest now and she and Tamra ruined it. Shannon especially is ON 24/7 and honey, you ain’t funny and your quips aren’t funny.

You suck and drain the show.

You’re loud. You’re a bully. You’re still fat. But, most of all, you’re fake as fuck. (Worse Tuan LuAnn!)

Just the food alone for this set. Always eating! Eat, eat, eat!

Whole turkeys, sausage links by the dozen, the gravy bill alone...

These people are outrageous pigs! November can’t come soon enough!!!

How do I see it? Netflix only has season 1 and I'm addicted to it and need the next season..

I'll start:

"Animal House" - it should really own this thread.
