More, more!

Since that seems to be the way DL is going, I say let's welcome the change! Copious use of "y'all" and "LMAO" are optional, but will likely happen anyway! Don't worry that anyone will suspect you use overdone memes in lieu of developing a unique personality, I say let the herd mentality roam free! Moo!

I'm 10 minutes in; looks...interesting.

Now the cast are either dead or largely forgotten.

Let's reminisce.

I miss Emma. It's been almost a decade since I've seen her. Can anyone fill me in on what she's up too. Oakdale just isn't the same without her.

I visit my friends' homes and admire their industrial decors, woodsy reclaimed cabins, their monochromatic urban apartments. I even admire their painfully arranged, artsy global eclectic aesthetics or their zen temple looking lofts. Then, there's the couple who looks like they live in a Pottery Barn.

But my secret yearning is chintz. I want a Grandma house. I watch old, British sitcoms and long for the tea nooks and knit cozies. I want souvenir spoon sets and floppy pillows. I want toile. What's wrong with me? What do you suggest I do about this fixation? Do you have any suggestions for interior design?

Messy hair, giant tree house home, brats running around, interviewing the wife. Nope!

He is so handsome and sexy.

I am a straight woman, posting here on my cousin's account and will leave once lockdown ends. I am not a troll. I find that ever since I was a girl (grew up in W. Hollywood during the 1980's when AIDS was rampant and almost all the men renting in my dad's property were gay) I have absolutely been drawn to gay men. I find them (clearly not all) sexy, interesting and smarter than straight men (no I am not one of those idiots who call them "my gays" and find that idiotic). As I grew up I noticed other women and men express disgust at gay men and sexual practices while for me, it just kind of turned me on. In fact, I told my late husband I found it sexy and I have always dreamed of having sex with men who were also having sex with one another.

On the surface, I am not the proverbial "fag hag" as I am NOT gonna be a jerk who goes to the clubs or intrudes or allows herself to be fat. Is something wrong with me?

[quote]You let fat people know what you really think of us when you use that odious man as cover for fatphobia. He is horrible and fat but he is not horrible because he is fat. Tired of having to say this.

Think Ryan Murphy will ever do a mini-series on their feud?

According to Streisand, Kramer was unwilling to allow adjustments that were necessary to make the script more cinematic. “I was using the best of [the play]. But there are certain things you do for film,” she tells EW. “Larry only wanted to use his screenplay. I couldn’t have my hands tied artistically.”

Kramer has another version of the story. He says Streisand rewrote the script to make her character the star, marginalizing the gay characters who are at the center of the play. “She cut Ned’s part so much that when she offered the movie to a major star who had played the part on stage, he said, ‘I can’t play this. The character has no motivation anymore,'” claims Kramer. “She subsumed all of the motivations into her part, as the doctor.”

UPDATE: “Larry’s claim that I wanted to expand the role of the doctor to make her the star and marginalize the gay characters is nonsense,” Streisand writes in an email to EW. The star has also posted a “truth alert” about the matter on her official website, claiming that Kramer is “rewriting history.”

Streisand also says Kramer rejected a deal from HBO to turn the play into a TV project after major studios balked at its subject matter. “Larry wouldn’t accept their highest offer of $250,000. He wanted a million dollars,” says Streisand. “Larry held out for the money. I didn’t. Why not advance your cause? Why keep this movie unseen for all these years?” Kramer claims he never heard about such an offer and says Streisand repeatedly abandoned the project to work on other movies.

Even after the rights to the play reverted back to Kramer in the mid-nineties, Streisand says she never stopped supporting the project. Then, last year, Kramer posted a missive on the website of AIDS-awareness organization ACT UP, calling Streisand a “hypocrite” for failing to make The Normal Heart. “When he printed that diatribe on the web, I was very hurt by it, because it’s not true. I started to write [a response] but then decided not to do it,” says Streisand. “It was wonderful to read some of the comments from the gay community about this. They fought the battle for me. It was really lovely for all these people to come to my defense.”

Streisand says she was most upset by Kramer’s accusation that she had sabotaged the fight for gay rights. “At a time when we are all pulling together to achieve such giant steps for gay equality, it is anguishing to me to have my devotion to this cause so distorted. I think my efforts for the gay community and my immersion in securing its constitutional entitlement and other equitable rights is quite evident and a matter of record.”

They then charged him with ‘soliciting sodomy’ and publicly outed him!

A police department has publicly outed a gay robbery victim who had told his friends and family he was kidnapped in order to cover up a meeting with a male sex worker.

Christopher Keys, of Macon, Georgia, had called the police on May 19 after being robbed while waiting in a motel room for a sex worker he had arranged to meet on Craigslist.

According to the report Keys filed with police, two masked men had knocked on the door and held him at gunpoint, before robbing him of his wallet, house, truck and work keys, and a cell phone.

Rather than help Keys, Bibb County Sheriff’s Office opted to arrest him and charge him with “solicitation of sodomy” – which remains a specific crime in Georgia, 17 years after the US Supreme Court struck down sodomy laws banning gay sex.

The police also posted a Facebook message detailing the incident in full in order to contradict circulating “rumours” – after the victim told friends an edited version of the story in which he was kidnapped from outside a CVS pharmacy and driven to the motel.

The Facebook post from the sheriff’s office said: “Keys stated to deputies that he had responded to an ad on Craigslist. He was to meet a man at the motel in room #111. An investigation revealed that Keys had been a frequent visitor to the Regency Inn & Suites since January.

“Keys told deputies at the time of the initial report that he did not want this to get out and that he did not want deputies to talk with his relatives. Keys said that he was going to tell his father that he was kidnapped from another location and brought to the motel.

“Based on information discovered in the course of the investigation, Keys has been arrested and charged with solicitation of sodomy. The Sheriff’s Office continues to investigate the personal robbery reported by Keys.”

Keys, 56, had been employed as a Bible studies teacher at a local religious school, Tattnall Square Academy, according to the Macon Telegraph.

He appears to have now been removed from a staff directory on the school website, however.

The school told the newspaper: “Tattnall Square Academy was only recently made aware of the charges against our former employee, Christopher Keys. We have no comment or information regarding the matter about which he is accused.”

Who's had him?

Explosive new claims are set to air in a Jeffrey Epstein documentary on Netflix with witnesses and victims speaking out against him.

A Netflix documentary series into the abuse allegations against Jeffrey Epstein is set to air explosive new claims against the disgraced billionaire.

From allegations of importing 12-year-old girls to be used as sex slaves, to a witness claiming to have seen Prince Andrew “groping” a young Virginia Roberts, the four-part mini series delves into the horrific claims surrounding Epstein.

Netflix revealed on Twitter last month that it would be airing Jeffrey Epstein: Filthy Rich, based on the 2016 James Patterson book.

“The series exposes a horrifying story of relentless manipulation and sex trafficking,” the streaming service said on its “See What’s Next” account.

“Epstein’s survivors serve as the series’ pre-eminent voices, providing powerful testimonials about their experiences and inspiration in their resilience.”

The series is set to be released this week. Picture: Netflix The series is set to be released this week. Picture: NetflixSource:Netflix

The documentary makers spoke to Steve Scully, 70, who used to work as Epstein’s phone and internet specialist.

In the series, which is set to be aired this week, Mr Scully claims he saw Prince Andrew kissing Virginia Roberts, now Virginia Giuffre, on Epstein’s home on a private Caribbean island.

Ms Giuffre, 36, has been one of the disgraced billionaire’s most vocal accusers, claiming she was recruited as an underage sex slave and forced to have sex with Epstein and his high profile friends, including Prince Andrew, when she was just 16.

The prince has always strenuously denied he had sex with Ms Giuffre, and said he has no recollection of meeting her.

During an interview for the series, Mr Scully claims he saw Prince Andrew with a young blonde in a bikini by the pool on Little St James island.

“It was probably around 2004, I saw Prince Andrew. He was at the pool. He was with at that time an unknown girl to me,” Mr Scully said.

“She was young, She didn’t have any top on. They were engaged in foreplay. He was grabbing her, and grinding against her.”

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.

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.

Can any DL figure skating experts/aficionados weigh in? I have seen her described as having been the best figure skater in the world for a moment in time, but I am not remotely knowledgable enough about figure skating technique and athleticism to compare her to anyone else. Was this assessment based purely on her ability to complete the triple axel, other elements of her skating, or a combination of both? I actually saw Tonya skate live when I was very young. I was 4 years old when the Nancy Kerrigan incident occurred, and my parents took me to one of Tonya's practice sessions at the Clackamas Town Center Mall in Portland, which was near our house. The rink, which is no longer there, was surrounded by a food court, and I remember there being a large crowd spectating.

...over allegations of political bias.

Trump thinks he is a dictator. This cannot stand. He is unfit to serve. Defeat him in November and cleanse the country of this Trump scum.

There is a new documentary, the streaming version was released today, called Code Blue. I heard about this project on Datalounge a few years ago by a poster who is somehow related to Dr. Stancic. Dr. Stancic was diagnosed with MS and found western medicine was making her sicker. She changed her diet, managed her stress, got more sleep and started an exercise program and several years later was able to finish a half marathon.

This documentary is a real eye opener about what doctors are taught in our medical schools. Doctors are trained in pharmaceuticals which tends to make patients sicker instead of fixing the problem.

I'm posting a link to the trailer, it's worth a watch.

Hello, DLers. I'm proud to announce Camp Datalounge (or Camp DL). Combining the best features of a good, old fashioned YMCA summer camp and an informal nudist retreat, Camp DL is a new experiment in summertime relaxation for the older gay man who just can't stay away from his favorite gossip site and wants to relax in the company of other older gay men. If you're tired of going to the Pines or Provincetown, or even Ogunquit, every year (to name only a few!) just to be silently judged and blown-off by more twinks than you ever thought could exist in one place, Camp DL might be for you!

Since Camp DL is still in the planning stages (we hope to open locations sometimes next year), we'd like to know what features our Counselors could provide to give you, the average DLer, the most satisfying summer possible.

Twitter videos are tricky. Hope this works.

The cops claimed that she jumped, but the family said they pushed her over and now are covering for themselves. The media won’t cover it.

Sigh. Idk what is happening anymore.

All US and Canadian production has been shutdown since March. Usually this is the season all of the holiday tv movies are filmed. How will the pandemic impact the upcoming holiday season's Christmas films? They begin airing in October - will there be any this year?!

It will be frau hell this year without them!

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.

Do you like it? What laptop would you buy now if looking?

Are there any other locals here? I'm outraged and so sad/scared for everyone right now.

I'm overwhelmed. Mostly disgusted over the killing of this man over (from what I hear) $20. And who knows if it was even "legit". He didnt even resist arrest.

I don't support burning, and destroying businesses but I also feel like enough is enough. I'm a white person and I can't imagine how POC are feeling right now. As I said in another post, our city is broken and there is bubbling racial tension in all directions.

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.

Trump is defaming the memory of a woman who died nearly 20 years ago—and inflicting pain upon her family today.

Donald Trump doesn’t merely want to criticize his opponents; he takes a depraved delight in inflicting pain on others, even if there’s collateral damage in the process, as is the case with the Klausutis family. There’s something quite sick about it all.

Will Trump’s white evangelical supporters—Franklin Graham Jr., Robert Jeffress, Eric Metaxas, Mike Huckabee, Ralph Reed—defend his behavior as the perfect embodiment of the New Testament ethic, the credo of Jesus, the message from the Sermon on the Mount? “Blessed are the brutal, for they shall inherit the Earth.”

Continue rambling here.

There's a profile in the NYTimes tonight of Matthew Rhys, who is supposedly one of the nicest actors around--but it says he loves playing practical jokes on the set.

I can understand someone who is deeply angry like Mel Gibson loving to play practical jokes on his co-workers (and he does--he was supposed to be a bit of a terror in that regard, back when he used to get work), or Ellen Degeneres (who is a deeply angry person), but I don't understand nice guys like Rhys and George Clooney loving to do it. It is deeply hostile behavior--you humiliate people in front of others, and then if they don't laugh at themselves after the prank, they look even worse.

Yes I know it's something of a scandalous question but it's meant honestly. Isn't masturbation a sin in Christianity? (Onanism.). But sin or no sin, do we really believe that priests and nuns don't touch themselves?

It's actually unhealthy for a man not to ejaculate on a semi-regular basis, so to some degree it's a health issue. But also mental health -- can any person really go through life without the pleasure of sexual release? Wouldn't that make you ... intensely weird?

But if he does masturbate, WHAT ON EARTH DOES HE FANTASIZE ABOUT??? Now that is high-octane nightmare fuel right there.

So Trump is saying to all Americans

"You Are On Your Own" in regards to this pandemic

So now what will you do, as an American now that Trump has completely dropped the ball.

This series on FX gets away with the gayest language and references I've ever seen on free cable. The language is never bleeped. Tonight's parody of Row Row Row Your Boat into cock stroking was the best.

Does quiet rhyme with riot?

Who gives a shit? We got a show to pull off YouTube!

Just another day in 'murca

Then what’s the point?

These fuckers are out of control lately.

Remember when this started in March and we decided we were going to stay indoors for as long as it took? Since March 15th I've only been out ONCE a WEEK to get groceries and other essentials (minus one week where I had to go out a second time to leave vitamins and masks on my aunt's door step). I am completely self-isolating.

I expected some flouting of the recommendations once the warm weather hit but to see people at at clubs and pool parties like NOTHING is going on is beyond disheartening. It makes me want to throw up. So I can only imagine how it feels to the healthcare workers out there.

To all of you: Until a vaccine is found it is your DUTY to limit outdoor travel as much possible and to only the bare essentials.

It seems all the messaging has been lost on you. I think we truly do deserve a second wave sometimes.

Also... Hayden was good in Episode 2 (not 3) and Jar Jar wasn’t completely unlikable.

Earlier this week I decided to begin rewatching all of the Star Wars movies again, in Chronological order, and I just finished Episode III Revenge of the Sith.

I used to loath the prequel series, but rewatching it I enjoyed them very much. They aren’t as bad as everyone says, especially after watching the new Trilogy, which I felt were TERRIBLE minus The Force Awakens.

Episode I was fine, but yes, it was made for kids and to sell toys. It’s very obvious that Lucas had merchandise in mind when he made it and had a kid as one of the main characters (even in the battle) and Jar Jar Binks (who I wouldn’t mind if they didn’t make him TOO much of a cartoon, falling all over and making error after error). Many will disagree with me, but this one was the weakest of this Trilogy. I did love how youthful and handsome Ewan McGregor looked though.

Episode 2 was actually really good! Hayden Christensen gets so much shit for his performance in this series, but he was actually good in this one! I loved the scene on that sand planet where he finds his mother and starts killing all those fuckers. He was Badass in this, and oh so handsome. I couldn’t keep my eyes off of him!!!! I found him even more beautiful now than I did when I was a teen seeing this in the theaters.

The battle scenes are better in this one than Episode 1, the story less contrived and the acting overall better. Also, McGregor is far better as the Head Master with Hayden his trainee than Neeson was with McGregor as his trainee. I did hate how rushed the relationship with Padme and Anakin was.

Episode 3... ugh. I liked it. It’s a lot of brainless fun. The issue is it is far more brainless than the previous one, and at times felt too rushed. Anakin going to the dark side felt too easy. Palpatine literally spoke to him a couple of times and boom, he switches. Also, Hayden is TERRIBLE in this one. Wow, he was bad.

Also, where was Jar Jar in this? I do know that they cut his role down significantly in the second film because of how much parents hated him, but to cut him from this one completely? Seems fucked up. No one even mentions him.

Also, why was Portman’s role so small in this one. She was barely in the film!!! The film actually could have used a little more of her presence. Also, that death scene with her giving birth was so ridiculous. Ugh.

With that said, I would take ANY of these over The Last Jedi or Rise or Skywalker. Those two are complete blasphemy and aren’t even real Star Wars movies. They feel like Disney cartoons.

Also, I know Rogue One and Solo both take place before A New Hope... or am I wrong? I’ve never seen either. I wanna watch them in 100% chronological order.

More of our beloved and sexy senior men.

Dez Bitches Be Crazy!

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!

That's one polite methie.

Ed Markey is a fantastic, progressive senator. He supports the green new deal. He supports universal healthcare.

please list the pros and cons. “Gorgeous mid-century architecture” isn’t enough to make me plunk down a fortune in Palm Springs, besides I’d rather have a new house than inherit mid-century plumbing and wiring issues.

Most of my family is on the East Coast, so that makes Florida attractive. But I don’t see them often so it doesn’t necessarily make a difference. Florida is a red state so that’s a nasty factor to consider, although Southern Florida is blue.

Zachary Quinto spends the afternoon with fellow actor Brandon Flynn while taking his dog to the park on Monday afternoon (January 20) in Los Feliz, Calif.

The guys were seen drinking beverages from Maru Coffee. Zachary, 42, had an iced coffee while Brandon, 26, opted for a hot drink.

Zachary and his longtime love Miles McMillan split back in February 2019 after five years together. Miles, a model, is currently dating interior designer Trace Lehnhoff.

Last year, there was speculation that Brandon was dating Game of Thrones actor Richard Madden. Before that, he was in a relationship with singer Sam Smith.

Brandon is best known for his work on the Netflix series 13 Reasons Why.

Katie Rose Waldman and Stephen Miller, who both work in the Trump White House, were married Feb. 16 at Trump International Hotel in Washington. Rabbi Aryeh Lightstone, who is a senior adviser to David Friedman, the United States ambassador to Israel, officiated.

Mrs. Miller, 28, is a special assistant to President Trump and the press secretary to Vice President Mike Pence. From November 2017 to February 2019, she served as a spokeswoman for the United States Department of Homeland Security during the tenure of Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen.

Mrs. Miller graduated from the University of Florida and received a master’s degree in public administration from George Washington University. She is a daughter of Sheryl Waldman and Glenn Waldman of Fort Lauderdale, Fla.

Mr. Miller 34, is a senior White House adviser, which includes serving as Mr. Trump’s top immigration adviser, directly shaping policies that aim to restrict the number of immigrants coming to the country.

Mr. Miller became the senior policy adviser on the Trump campaign in January 2016, and was appointed the policy director for the Trump transition team in November 2016.

He graduated from Duke. He is a son of Miriam Miller and Michael Miller of Los Angeles.

The couple had spoken many times on the phone in the course of their work, including multiple conference calls, but had never met in person. They were introduced by mutual friends on a Friday in spring 2018 and were engaged about a year and a half later.

The United States has counted more coronavirus deaths than any other country.

Remember when Trump said: "We have it totally under control. It's one person coming in from China."

A Thai man with an unhealthy obsession with shoes has been arrested for stealing more than 100 pairs of flip-flops, which he admitted to having sex with.

Police in Nonthaburi, central Thailand, first knew something was awry after receiving dozens of complaints from locals over missing shoes, reports Newsflare.

CCTV footage eventually revealed the culprit to be local man Theerapat Klaiya, 24, who was filmed lurking outside his latest victim’s home. Authorities apprehended Theerapat on May 24 at his rented dwelling with 126 pairs of flip-flops that he admitted to pilfering over two years.

The alleged footwear fetishist described how he would wear the sandals, which spanned every make and size, around the house to arouse himself a la shoe-coveting serial killer Jerry Brudos.

And that was just foreplay. Theerapat would reportedly then caress and kiss the well-worn flip-flops, strip down and rub them all over his naked body, and then, eventually, make love to them. Once he was done ravaging his sole mates, he’d toss them aside and look for a new pair.

The sandal vandal admitted to three charges of nighttime theft and snatching at a police press conference where his massive shoe collection was on full display. If that wasn’t bad enough, he was also found guilty of possessing a digital transceiver without permission and violating the coronavirus curfew, reports Newsflare.

Theerapat will be held at the station until his next court date, whereupon prosecutors will decide what to do with the shameless shoe screwer, according to Police Major Colonel Ekkaphop Prasitwattanachai.

This wasn’t the flip-flop copper’s first pedi crime. “We also found out that he had already been arrested last year for stealing flip-flops in another district,” says Ekkaphop.

I had just posted in another thread a few days ago about how my job wasn't guaranteed but that it had funding into 2021. So today's virtual meeting with HR was a bit of a stunner. I know I shouldn't be with the times we are living in, but again, I had worked on projects with funding into next year, my manager talking about all the work we needed to do and even possibly hiring an intern to help out.

My first question to HR person after her spiel was if my manager knew. And she confirmed he did. I get on a call with him and he swore he had no idea. Fucking snake. HR said this had been in discussion since February and wasn't even related to Covid. So for three fucking months my manager has been talking about new work, etc and I had been working on contracts to set us up for this and next year and he knew I was on the chopping block.

I know he's lying because after 8 years I know when he's really upset. And today, he sounded like a weasel instead. He's been angry (directed towards me) when he feels someone has circumvented his manager role so the fact that he was squirming when I told him I knew he knew...He would be genuinely angry and agitated if HR took out the only person on his fucking team! Then he rationalized by saying oh why would I agree to lose you, now I'm swamped and this puts me in a bad light. Yes, you fucking bastard, it's all about you!

Fuck my life. I don't even like the job but where the fuck am I going to find another 100K+ job in this economy?

I'm taking the rest of the week off.

sorry for those losing jobs but I hate Uber. Typical arrogant tech company doesn't give a damn about its customers or its drivers.

Absolutely zero customer support and it's nearly impossible to contact them anyways

They never made a dime of profit even in their best days. So many of these tech companies are unprofitable and act like there were never consequences....poor management kills.

We are all told to keep emergency funds too bad Uber never did.

Plus they put that whiny gold digger Ariana Huffington on the board of directors. Because she has so much experience in the ride sharing industry. Not!

Tatler, which published the story for its July/August issue, says it stands behind its reporting.

“Tatler’s Editor-in-Chief Richard Dennen stands behind the reporting of Anna Pasternak and her sources,” said a spokesperson for the publication. “Kensington Palace knew we were running the ‘Catherine the Great’ cover months ago and we asked them to work together on it. The fact they are denying they ever knew is categorically false.”

In the piece, Tatler says it spoke with royal courtiers, friends close to Kate, and palace staff ― all of whom are anonymous in the piece ― to delve into the relationship between the Duchess of Cambridge and other members of the royal family, including Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

"COVID gave Trump a chance to be a decent, compassionate human being (or pretending to be). But he couldn't even do that."

So many mysteries surround Donald Trump: the contents of his tax returns, the apparent miracle of his graduation from college. Some of them are merely curiosities; others are of national importance, such as whether he understood the nuclear-weapons briefing given to every president. I prefer not to dwell on this question.

But since his first day as a presidential candidate, I have been baffled by one mystery in particular: Why do working-class white men—the most reliable component of Donald Trump’s base—support someone who is, by their own standards, the least masculine man ever to hold the modern presidency? The question is not whether Trump fails to meet some archaic or idealized version of masculinity. The president’s inability to measure up to Marcus Aurelius or Omar Bradley is not the issue. Rather, the question is why so many of Trump’s working-class white male voters refuse to hold Trump to their own standards of masculinity—why they support a man who behaves more like a little boy.

I really didn’t see this angle coming.

So, who leaked this and to what end?

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

It’s the same shows and movies, only with some throwbacks like Friends and Fresh Prince? Oh and now the app has original content not shown on the actual network? What is the point of that? Ugh.

I'm so confused.

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.

Whitey strikes again...

A venture capitialist in Minneapolis is being accused of racially profiling a group of black men at a WeWork office space, after video of the incident began circulating online on Wednesday. A man, who has since been identifed as Tom Austin, can be seen asking the men if they are also tenants of the building, which has a shared private gym space the men had previously used. When the men don't tell him what floor their rented office space is on, which they have rented for over a year, Austin calls the police.

"As we were working out this man approached and immediately asked us who we were and if 'WE BELONG' in this building," the three men's company, Top Figure, wrote on Instagram alongside videos of the situation. "Granted in order to enter the building you NEED a key card to enter EVERY part of the building which EACH of our team members individually have. We all pay rent here and this man demanded that we show him our key cards or he will call the cops on us. We are sick and tired of tolerating this type of behavior on a day to day basis and we feel that we had to bring light onto this situation," they explained further.

On a swaypole!

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?

oh honey, haven't we all been there?

Liverpool one of the UK's most famous and unique cities full of many unique characters .The city itself certainly has it's own unique character. Friendly,tenacious,cheeky,naughty,shady,humorous place with a special status or position in the uks psyche.

Comparing my own experiences with those of others I'd say in it's own way the Liverpool gay scene in its own way is just as naughty and mad as London.Big enough to be classed as a major city,small enough for everyone to know everybody else and their business!

I know a lot of people are saying hold on to your money, the market will rebound. And it has, I must say. the 50K I lost when Coronavirus hit, I've gained back plus some. Currently, however, you can withdraw up to $100k (if you have it) from your 401k WITHOUT penalties and just pay the taxes. I am in my mid 40s and figured I wouldn't have this opportunity again for another fifteen or so years. I want to pay down 25k in debt that I have and just keep the money in a savings account for now. It feels good having liquid assets on hand. My partner and I are considering buying a home and moving to Europe. So when I get back to work, it will feel good not to have that debt burden over my head. I will double down on my 401k contribution, and will feel good about saving money to add to what I have in my savings account for a future down payment on something.

BTW, the federal takes out their percentage immediately which I was surprised was just 10%. After City and State, I'm imagining 100k withdrawal is maybe 72k after taxes.

Sarah nails Trump. He's such an idiot.

Great interview with Lawrence O'Donnell:

It now falls to Trump to decide to end some, all or none of the economic privileges Hong Kong currently enjoys.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said he had certified on Wednesday to Congress that Hong Kong no longer warranted special treatment under U.S. law in the same way that applied when the territory was still under British law before July 1997.

"Two systems, one country" guaranteeing autonomy for Hong Kong was supposed to remain in effect for 50 years from the time the British turn over rule to China in July 1997. It's only been 23 years.

[quote]Lana Del Rey is sparking conversations this morning after posting a lengthy message to her social accounts, pointing to female artists who've topped charts with songs with sexually provocative lyrics, and calling out the criticism that her own music "glamorizes abuse."

[quote]"Question for the culture," she began, "Now that Doja Cat, Ariana [Grande], Camila [Cabello], Cardi B, Kehlani, Nicki Minaj, and Beyoncé have had number ones with songs about being sexy, wearing no clothes, fucking, cheating, etc - can I please go back to singing about being embodied, feeling beautiful by being in love even if the relationship is not perfect, or dancing for money - or whatever I want - without being crucified or saying I'm glamorizing abuse??????"

[quote]Her comments arrive a week after Doja Cat, Nicki Minaj, Beyoncé, and Megan Thee Stallion landed the top two positions on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, making history as the first Black women solo artists to do so. All the other artists that Del Rey named have scored number one hits in recent years except Kehlani, according to her Billboard history.

[quote]Del Rey's opening statement was her most contentious, as readers promptly noticed that the artists she named were mostly women of color. Some questioned whether it was necessary for the singer to even name names, and others defended these artists for embracing sexuality in their music—something women, especially women of color, are often chastised for doing.

[quote]Hours after her original post made headlines, Lana Del Rey responded to the backlash surrounding her much-talked-about statement with a few updates on Instagram. Among them was a video compilation of herself pole dancing with the hashtag "#fuckoff" in the caption. And on her Instagram Story, the singer also posted screenshots of two replies she wrote in her comments. In the first message, she addressed claims that she was trying to take away from the success of several women of color in music. In her original post, Del Rey had name-dropped artists including Beyoncé, Nicki Minaj, Kehlani, Doja Cat, Cardi B, and Camila Cabello for landing number-one songs “about being sexy, wearing no clothes, fucking, cheating, etc” while she was criticized for “glamorizing abuse.”

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.

Yes unfortunately we are approaching that time of year again on datalounge when we contemplate and ponder which celebrities may pass away next year.

Sadly I feel we are likely to lose the divine Loretta Lynn next year.

Some other guesses include Jimmy Carter, Katherine Jackson, Kirk Douglas, Rhonda Fleming and Olivia Newton John.😥

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

I knew a guy who topped hot dogs with mayo. He said it was a southern thing.

If you thought the volume on the Trump-Twitter-Fox noise distraction machine was turned up extra loud in the past few weeks, it was not only to deflect attention from the nearly 100,000 Americans who’ve died from Covid-19, but also from the confirmation that on President Trump’s watch our country suffered the first deadly terrorist attack on U.S. soil since 9/11 that was planned abroad.

You read that right. Last week, Attorney General William Barr and the F.B.I. said that data from cellphones of a Saudi Air Force trainee who killed three U.S. sailors and wounded eight others at a Navy air base in Pensacola, Fla., on Dec. 6 confirmed that it was an act of foreign-planned “terrorism.”

The phone data “definitively establishes” that the trainee, Mohammed Saeed Alshamrani, had “significant ties to Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula — not only before the attack, but before he even arrived in the United States” in August 2017. He had actually joined the Saudi military to carry out a “special operation.”

That Alshamrani was able to kill three sailors at an American base was a massive failure of U.S. and Saudi intelligence. I mean, who should be getting more scrutinized before they come train in the U.S. on an air base than Saudi pilots?

The Trump administration clearly had no idea what was happening under its nose.

As The Washington Post noted: After the attack, investigators found evidence that 17 fellow Saudi students “had shared Islamist militant or anti-American material on social media, and others had possessed or shared child pornography. As a result, 21 cadets from Saudi Arabia were disenrolled from the training program and sent home.”

That sort of intelligence failure — the first foreign-planned terrorist attack on U.S. shores since 9/11 — is something you’d expect Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to be particularly upset about. After all, it was Pompeo, when he was in Congress, who spearheaded the investigations into then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s supposed responsibility for the death of four U.S. diplomats in a terrorist attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, on Sept. 11, 2012.

Oh, you forgot about Congressman Pompeo’s endless campaign to nail Hillary with Benghazi? Well, let me jog your memory. Here is how The Guardian described the conclusion of the 800-page, House select committee investigation on Benghazi, led by a Republican representative, Trey Gowdy, and issued on July 28, 2016:

It “found no new evidence to conclude that Hillary Clinton, secretary of state at the time, was culpable in the deaths.” A few hours later, the Obama White House “noted tersely that this was the eighth congressional committee to investigate the attacks and went on longer than the 9/11 commission and the committees designated to look at Pearl Harbor, the assassination of President John F Kennedy, the Iran-contra affair and Watergate.”

So, let’s do some math here: Then-Congressman Pompeo led the utterly contrived campaign to blame Hillary for the Benghazi deaths — a charge that a Republican-led committee found to be without merit. But Pompeo used his crusade to gain the attention, via Fox News, of Trump and was named Trump’s C.I.A. director. And now we learn that while Pompeo was C.I.A. director, the first foreign-planned terrorist attack on U.S. soil since 9/11 was being organized here and abroad, and while he was secretary of state it was carried out.

Now that’s something worth investigating.

Who are these idiots out in public for nonessential reasons wearing a panty liner with two strings over their face? Are they that fucking stupid that they think it's protecting them? And if they feel sick, stay home and quarantine yourself! Worse are the thoughtless jerks with an N95 mask. They should be walking that mask to a hospital emergency room where they desperately need 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...

I've been watching old porno and wondering whatever happened to him. What a beautiful dick!

Las Vegas’ dozens of resorts, along with hotel-casinos throughout Nevada, can reopen June 4, Gov. Steve Sisolak said Tuesday evening.

"We will certainly be welcoming visitors back to Nevada on June 4,” Sisolak said in a telephone news conference from the governor’s mansion in Carson City, where he is in quarantine after potential exposure to the novel coronavirus. “We’ve taken every precaution possible. I don’t think you’re going to find a safer place to come than Las Vegas.”

The green light came after a day of consultations among resort operators, health experts and the Nevada Gaming Control Board, which regulates the casinos. Sisolak sought reassurances from board members that safety measures could be in place by June 4 before he would approve the reopening.

Along the Las Vegas Strip, about one-third of the 35 or so resorts have shifted into high gear as they prepare to welcome guests next week, including Southern Californians, who last year made up 19% of visitors to the city.

Many of those visitors drove. The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority reported an average of nearly 45,000 vehicles crossing the California/Nevada line on Interstate 15 each day in 2019.

Guests’ temperatures will be checked at entrances to many resorts. Although face masks will be required for all employees, they are “encouraged” for visitors. Smokers can light up in public spaces, including casinos. Hand sanitizer will be available.

Walking through the various hotels just after they reopen, guests will find many bars, restaurants and shops still closed. Just as with the resorts themselves, visitor volume will dictate when each establishment will relaunch.

“How much we reopen and how many amenities we introduce is really a function of how much demand there is for the business,” said Sean McBurney, general manager of Caesars Palace. “But we have to have a fun environment.”

Sisolak said that if COVID-19 cases spike in the run-up to June 4, he is prepared to “pull back” from the scheduled reopening.

“The only sure thing we can do is have a vaccine," he said. "And until we have a vaccine, we have to focus on our technology intervening quickly if there’s a problem.

"I’m confident Las Vegas is a safe place to come. And visitors are going to have a great time.”

They are on the way for the Democrats electorally.

I don’t live in any of these states.

For anyone who does, please tell us what life is like as a resident.

"“Today we celebrate freedom, equality and democratic institutions. May empathy and love be the compass that allows us to get ahead and build a country where all the people fit,”

-Costa Rican President Carlos Quesada

The survivor of a racist incident in Central Park, whose viral video of a white woman calling the cops on him has sparked national outrage, is also a pivotal figure in the history of queer representation in comics. A former editor at Marvel Comics, Christian Cooper helped give life to Yoshi Mishima, the first openly homosexual character in the Star Trek universe, PinkNews reports.

Further details regarding Christian Cooper have also emerged in the wake of the viral exchange, notably his pioneering role as an editor at Marvel Comics, where he co-created Star Trek’s barrier-breaking character, Yoshi Mishima. According to the LGBTQ+ comic site Gay League, Mishima is portayed as a “smart, brave, caring young man who was a capable leader, a skilled officer, and an effective fighter.” The first openly homosexual character in the Star Trek Comic Universe’s history, Mishima would face significant discrimination throughout his complex narrative arc — one that, for many readers, was prematurely cut short.

William Frawley was a known alcoholic and when Desi hired him, he put in his contract that if he was ever late or absent even once for reasons related to being a drunk, they'd fire him. When they hired Vivian, in her contract it said, that if Frawley was written out, she could be written out too.

This of course, caused Vance distress, knowing her future depended on a drunk.

So at what point in the I Love Lucy series that it was established that Vance was too important to be written out, even if Frawley was fired.

Robert Altman chose Holly Springs (pop. 8000) for his 1999 film, 'Cookie's Fortune', which centered on another, simpler, frame Gothic Revival.

Five bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and a place to put Mother. Needs some things: like a new standing seam metal roof, a new porch floor, some plaster repairs, new HVAC (those monstrous shit brown heaters backed up to the fireplaces!), a fresh start in the kitchen (though I'm a sucker for galley kitchens and would keep the configuration), and some other things unseen, but not a huge budget for all of that.

On the plus side: some glorious rooms, at once simple and grand, a lovely sequence of spaces, and the windows, everywhere wonder big gothic revival windows that define the place.

Roughly midway between Oxford, Mississippi (34 miles) and Memphis (54 miles) and Memphis International Airport (41 miles) for some necessary escape time.

Cesspools of germs that they are, how would they ever be able to return to normal operation? Library materials are notorious petri dishes of bugaboos. And casinos... fuhgettabotit; you may as well lick a bus station toilet seat.

Trump just tweeted he will move the Republican Convention out of North Carolina unless Governor Roy Cooper gives assurance the convention can operate at full capacity.

Trump said, "Unfortunately, Democratic Governor @RoyCooperNC is still in Shutdown mood (sic) & unable to guarantee that by August we will be allowed full attendance in the Arena." Trump went on to threaten a switch if the Governor doesn't cave ... "... we will be reluctantly forced to find, with all of the jobs and economic development it brings, another Republican Convention site. This is not something I want to do."

Doctors and scientists have implored people to maintain social distancing in public ... that's why there will be no fans at sporting events in the foreseeable future. What's more, just a few people who have the virus can infect hundreds, and those hundreds can infect thousands and so on. It's been happening at churches, choirs, nursing homes, etc.

Vice President Pence called Trump's threat "very reasonable," adding the likely contenders for a substitute state are Texas, Florida and Georgia.

The Duchess of Cambridge has denied reports she is “furious” and feels “exhausted and trapped” at the increase in her workload as the Royal Family adjusts to the coronavirus pandemic.

Kate and her husband Prince William have been seen on frequent Zoom calls in recent weeks as they speak to staff on the frontline battling the illness.

The mother of three, 38, is working more this year compared with last according to the engagements listed in the Court Circular.

In a recent piece, society magazine Tatler praised her for emerging from what has been a tricky year for the Royal Family “serene and smiling”.

But Tatler also quoted a friend of the duchess as saying: “Kate is furious about the larger workload. Of course she’s smiling and dressing appropriately but she doesn’t want this.

“She feels exhausted and trapped. She’s working as hard as a top CEO, who has to be wheeled out all the time, without the benefits of boundaries and plenty of holidays.”

It’s prompted an unusual denial from Kensington Palace, where the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have their offices and their home in London.

A statement from the palace said: “This story contains a swathe of inaccuracies and false misrepresentations which were not put to Kensington Palace prior to publication.”

It’s common for news outlets to seek a right of reply from a story subject before publication.

Since the coronavirus outbreak led to lockdown in the UK, Kate and William have been living in Anmer Hall, their Norfolk home, where they have been homeschooling their children.

They have shifted their usual royal work focus and are concentrating on the response to the pandemic, including the mental health of those frontline and key workers across the UK.

The couple will inevitably have faced a larger workload following the decision by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to step back as senior royals.

The family is also missing a working royal in Prince Andrew, who stepped back indefinitely in November.

Prince Charles and his wife Camilla now carry out many of their engagements online, but are both in the age range considered high risk for COVID-19.

Charles, 71, tested positive for it in March, but only displayed mild symptoms. Camilla, 72, tested negative.

The Queen is in Windsor Castle with her husband Prince Philip. At 94 and 98, extra care has to be taken to ensure their good health.

Kate and William have stepped up to fill those gaps, and in the last few weeks have made calls to charities across the UK, become bingo callers for a care home game, and voiced a mental health minute that was played out on radio stations.

Kate also launched a photography project which she hopes will capture the mood and moment of the nation in the pandemic.

Does this mean he has a hairy asshole now?

More mugging than Central Park in the 1980s.

Has anyone else seen this? It's one of the best bad movies of the 90s. Starring Paul Walker, Denise Richards and la ton of good character actors.

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.

I've lived in New York City for 25 years and was visiting the city years before that. Starting in the 1990s, the Upper West Side became entitled mother territory. This has spread into other neighborhoods now. The entitled mother has morphed into Karen, with no discrimination of married or single. There are Karens living all over the city and the city seems to cater to them now.

NYC used to be fun. It used to be cool. What happened? Can we blame Sex & The City/Friends? Was That Girl a Karen? Certainly Rhoda wasn't a Karen.

What changed? Why are there so many Karens in NYC now?

Weijia Jiang and Kaitlin Collins questioned Trump hard enough to make him walk out of his last phony covid press conference. He hasn't been back since. Now Michigan's AG Dana Nessel has him in a dither because confronted his disrespect and called him a 'petulant child'. OK, she's not a reporter but she's got more balls than any male reporter who has the opportunity to challenge him.

But old gurl still has it!

It’s open season on entitled white women and I could not be happier!! All those years of lying and pointing your fingers at men, all those false claims and fake stories of being raped and attacked, all those years of being an untouchable, of bitching and degrading baristas and servers and minorities and men.... your time has come white ladies. And your time is UP!

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.

Who is the fake composer and conductor in this story?

I'm fascinated that 1) that he even tried it and 2) got away with it.

Older article but explains the type of people who complain about vaccines and wearing masks to block a pandemic

One always detects a little schadenfreude by DC at New York's miseries

NEW YORK — It was laundry that broke Mary Shell. Or rather, the lack of an in-unit washer and dryer in her Brooklyn apartment where Shell, 37, a field producer for reality television, could barely afford her half of the rent before the novel coronavirus pandemic because work had been slow for months. Times are even tougher now that her roommate, also unemployed, has had to move back in with her parents.

Shell was so financially strapped that she began inquiring about various night-life gigs, only to see covid-19 close all the bars and clubs. (“So that’s another job you can’t do in a pandemic.”) Still, her situation might have been bearable if the nearest laundromat wasn’t four blocks away.

“I just want to be able to do laundry without having to drag it up and down a four-story walk-up or pay someone $40 or $50 to do it for me,” said Shell — echoing a gripe of New York City’s apartment-dwellers so timeless that “Seinfeld,” “Friends,” “Living Single” and “Broad City” all have episodes about the indignities of shared laundry facilities. But throw in a pandemic and Shell said the stress has been “exhausting,” noting how she recently showed up to her laundromat to find that someone had handled all the clothes she had just washed.

“Everyone deserves space and basic amenities,” she said, lamenting how, in New York, many landlords deem a washing machine a “luxury” item. “It’s just insulting to come at us and be like, ‘We’re going to charge you an extra thousand dollars a month for this standard appliance that’s been in American households since the 1970s.’ ” It’s enough to make her contemplate leaving, for good.

Welcome to the Great Reassessment.

New York City is a shadow of its pre-pandemic normal. Like Shell, many residents are out of work, out of money, out of patience and out of sorts. Reassessments are happening throughout the country, but nowhere else are they as sharply focused as here, in the nation’s most populated, most dense, most diverse metropolis — where more than 21,000 have died. Even with all the chaos, filth and struggle, nostalgics have long mourned every change in what they called the “vanishing” city. But calls to the city’s mental health hotlines have surged. Whether they have left, or whether they have no option to leave, New Yorkers are having to ask themselves whether the city they love is really still livable.

“The wife of Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is at the center of an investigation into whether a State Department employee was assigned to do household tasks.”

”WASHINGTON — Susan Pompeo, the wife of America’s top diplomat, said in an interview last year that she could handle the criticism that came with taking a high-profile role at the State Department.

If so, the last few days have surely tested her mettle.

Mrs. Pompeo is now under scrutiny after the firing of the State Department’s inspector general at her husband’s behest. It is an uninvited turn for a woman who has long appeared to relish the relationships and perks of being a politician’s wife, and who has been far more vibrant in the limelight than Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, the other half of a “down-to-earth power couple,” as they have been called in their home state of Kansas.”

I keep thinking about how vulnerable he is. He's at the epicenter of the plague, and he is incredibly at-risk since he's old and male and has a compromised immune system.

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.

Heather Graham turned down the role of Pam in Meet the Parents because it wasn't a lead role. Teri Polo took the role.

Val Kilmer turned down Jeffrey in Blue Velvet (played by Kyle MacLachlan) because he found the script "pornographic."

Molly Ringwald's mom turned down the role of Sandy in Blue Velvet for her. Laura Dern was cast instead.

Sigourney Weaver was Jane Campion's first choice for the role of Ada in The Piano. Holly Hunter won an Oscar for it.

Jennifer Jason Leigh turned down the role of Lynn in LA Confidential because she said she had already played too much prostitutes. Kim Basinger won an Oscar for it.

Molly Ringwald turned down playing Vivian in Pretty Woman to do Betsy's Wedding instead. Julia Roberts took the role.

Fact or Fiction?

You decide....

Someone ordering "a beer" at a bar.

“Ex-lesbian” Rosaria Butterfield is calling on Christians to thank God for coronavirus.

Butterfield is the wife of First Reformed Presbyterian Church of Durham, North Carolina pastor Kent Butterfield, and she has written a biography about how she used to be “a tenured professor of English who identified as a lesbian and worked to advance the cause of LGBT equality” before she saw “the sinfulness of having any identity apart from Him” and got married to a man and had kids.

Now, in a column in the website Desiring God, Butterfield said that she’s grateful for the highly contagious and often fatal coronavirus that has killed over 100,000 people in the U.S. and 350,000 people worldwide.

“Giving thanks to God for everything, including COVID-19, humbles us — deeply,” she wrote. “It reminds us that God’s providence is perfect and our point of view flawed. Because God is good, just, and wise, all the time and in every circumstance, then COVID-19, for the Christian, must be for our good and for God’s glory.”

While the question of how a loving and all-powerful God could allow horrors like plagues to exist has been one that theologians have wrestled with for centuries, Butterfield found a simple answer for the coronavirus pandemic: it canceled Pride, which turns people gay.

“Giving thanks to God for COVID-19 also positions us to begin to see the world from his point of view,” she wrote. “If taking away our prosperity is how God will shake us up from our national and personal sins, are we all in?”

“Have you considered the ramifications that this June will be the first in decades without a public gay pride march? Why is this big news? First, sexual identity depends on an affirming audience who can sway others to its side, using an ideology of personal freedom and victimhood. A virtual platform draws only the faithful, denying them the oxygen that this particular fire needs.”

Let's continue hating on Adam and Jenna even though that the season has ended. Link to the first thread (which is now locked).

Adam was on Andy's show and told him that not only is he finished with Below Deck, he is finished with working on boats! He wants to work in a restaurant on land where he can grill (?). He says that he and Jenna are dunzo but that they're still friends which is an obvious lie.

Georgia confessing to Ciara that she's in love with her boyfriend. Yuck, how embarrassing. Why did she do that?? What did she expect Ciara to say or do when she learned that news?

Apparently, Jenna has spent the last few months constantly apologizing on social media for all of her behavior on the show. It sounds like she'd never come back to the show.

The reunion should be fun.

The Road So Far...

It's never ending.

So let's admire Jensen's cute butt for a little while, shall we?

How are we doing during this virus?

Why is this man’s wife involved in all of America’s classified business? Is she an employee of the federal government?

She has got her fingers in everything. I don’t get these husband who can NEVER do ANYTHING without their wife. He GAVE HER AN OFFICE AT THE CIA.

Leave the wife at home, dude!

She is redefining what it means to be feminine.

I haven't watched it with sound yet. The visual is impressive enough. Amazing that her delusional system is so strong and protected that she cannot fathom why she's an object of ridicule or that she's placing herself in danger because "the medical industrial complex." (later tweet defending herself).

If you could be a biological woman for a day, would you do it? What would you look like? What kind of hair would you have, how would you dress? Most importantly, who would you fuck? I would look like one of these white girls and find a whole frat house, and get gangbanged!

Millions of people across the country take this dude's opinion seriously. He and Donald would be great friends.

They seem to get super offended when people don't know every last thing about their pop culture.

Richard Herd, an instantly recognizable character actor who recurred as Mr. Wilhelm on Seinfeld and appeared in All the President’s Men, The China Syndrome and several Star Trek projects, among many other credits, died Tuesday in Los Angeles of cancer complications. He was 87.

Herd’s death was announced by his wife, actress Patricia Crowder Herd.

Herd is probably best known to TV audiences for his role as Mr. Wilhelm on Seinfeld, George Costanza’s New York Yankees boss who in one memorable episode is recruited by a religious cult (1996’s “The Checks”) and in another (1995’s “The Hot Tub”) is convinced George is cracking under the stress of the Big Leagues. Herd appeared in 11 Seinfeld episodes during it last four seasons, including the finale.

Herd appeared as the leader of the Watergate burglars in 1976’s All the President’s Men and as the duplicitous nuclear power plant boss in 1979’s The China Syndrome.

Other TV credits The Rockford Files, Eight Is Enough, Starsky & Hutch, MASH, Dallas, Hart to Hart, V, T.J. Hooker, Ike: The War Years, seaQuest 2032, Simon & Simon and Shameless, among many others.

In addition to his wife, survivors include daughter Erica, son Rick and stepdaughter Alicia

Ryan Seacrest's rep is addressing concerns over his health.

On Sunday night, fans took to Twitter while watching the virtual American Idol finale to inquire about the 45-year-old host, who was broadcasting from his home. Nearing the end of the show, many social media users expressed their concern over Seacrest's health, stating the he was possibly exhibiting symptoms of a stroke. Fans noted that the host's eyes appeared swollen, and he appeared to jumble his words during the live event.

Seacrest was absent from hosting duties on Live With Kelly and Ryan on Monday morning, causing more concern from fans. However, Seacret's rep is now setting the record straight on his health.

"Ryan did not have any kind of stroke last night," his rep shared in a statement with People on Monday. "Like many people right now, Ryan is adjusting to the new normal and finding work-home balance, with the added stress of having to put on live shows from home."

"Between Live with Kelly and Ryan, American Idol, On Air with Ryan Seacrest, and the Disney Family Singalong specials, he has been juggling three-four on-air jobs over the last few weeks and he's in need of rest," the statement continued. "So today he took a well-deserved day off."

During Sunday's finale, singer Just Sam was crowned the winner of American Idol.

After winning, Just Sam told E! News' Lilliana Vazquez, "This is life-changing. This is a dream come true, all the good things."

RIP.

He's a hero to us all.

Law enforcement officials told three senators that they would not be pursuing charges, but an investigation into trades by Senator Richard Burr of North Carolina appears to be proceeding.

The Justice Department notified three senators on Tuesday that it will not pursue insider trading charges against them after an investigation into stock transactions from the early days of the coronavirus pandemic did not find sufficient evidence they had broken the law, according to a person briefed on the investigations and congressional aides.

The department contacted lawyers for Senators Kelly Loeffler, Republican of Georgia; James M. Inhofe, Republican of Oklahoma; and Dianne Feinstein, Democrat of California. All three had sold substantial amounts of stock in late January or early February when lawmakers were being briefed on the novel coronavirus threat but before the pandemic began roiling financial markets or was fully understood by the public.

Law enforcement officials appear to still be investigating Senator Richard M. Burr, Republican of North Carolina, whose own mid-February stock sales have drawn scrutiny from the Justice Department and Securities and Exchange Commission. This month, F.B.I. agents seized Mr. Burr’s cellphone.

For the other senators, the notifications are likely to begin lifting suspicions that have lingered since mid-March, when they disclosed the trades in mandatory Senate filings. At a time when millions of Americans were losing their jobs and markets had plummeted, even the possibility that members of Congress had used their positions to protect themselves financially prompted cries for resignations and investigations.

A Justice Department spokeswoman declined to comment. Aides to the senators confirmed the notification.

Though Ms. Loeffler, Ms. Feinstein and Mr. Inhofe had all denied they were personally involved in the investment transactions, much less directing them based on insider information, the F.B.I. had asked them to produce records and other information related to the sales.

Investigators’ decision not to pursue charges would be particularly welcome news for Ms. Loeffler, who is facing a tough battle to hold onto her seat in November’s election. Polling suggests that the swirling accusations of misconduct around her multimillion-dollar stock transactions had hurt her standing with Georgia voters at a time when Democrats and a fellow Republican are vying for her seat.

I’m so sick of disgusting Karenlovers in my community. I see them walking around with stinky, disgusting Karens and they’re so proud of themselves. Makes me fucking sick. Our beautiful, sexy men being Karenlovers... walking around with these nasty, subhuman Karens.

No, not another celebrity death, but the dark comedy starring Christina Applegate and Linda Cardellini. What trouble will the ladies get themselves into this time around? Let’s chat about it here, first off there’s quite the twist at the end of the first episode!

I'm surprised since Staten Island helped elect Trump, who doesn't seem to believe in masks. Guess they couldn't pass up the opportunity to show how much better they are than her. This made me remember when Alec Baldwin called his young daughter a little pig.

It's looking likely that my husband & I will be moving Anacortes with my brother & his family this summer. My brother is in the Navy and his job has relocated him to the area from San Diego where they have lived for 10 years. They have two teenage girls and my husband is 20 years older than me (I'm 45) so there will be three generations under the house. We've lived in NYC for decades so this will be a fun change. We're looking forward to getting involved with their community theater. Anyone from the area have advice?

So what do we know?

Clayton and his big booty the right obviously:

There, I said it.

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

e.g., "That made my bussy throb!"

Should they be viciously slapped?

Not sure if many of them exist but lets investigate

Here is a link to an interesting YouTube video. "Boys Beware" is a 1961 dramatic short social guidance propaganda film released through Sid Davis Productions. It probably was shown to junior high age students. I'm an old car buff so I enjoy seeing the vehicles. Odd to see Jimmy leading Ralph up the stairs to the motel room. Could he be the top? Bad boy!

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

The Tonight Show star came under fire after a resurfaced SNL clip from 2000 showed Fallon impersonating comedian Chris Rock wearing blackface.

This is troubling. I myself have a parent in an elder facility and I think the isolation is killing her, at least mentality.

I'm a trench coat and a fedora.

I frequent a forum that has a very progressive, left-leaning user base who is very sensitive with regard to social justice issues. It's not that I always disagree with people there, although I'm a bit more conservative generally, actually I tend to agree on most issues. However, I recently noticed that their oversensitivity, black and white thinking, and moral outrage is really starting to piss me off. Whenever I'm there I now feel that I'm surrounded by the Maiden Aunts Brigade and long for the freedom, wackiness, and ruthless honesty of DL.

Usually, I keep disengaged in order not to get banned, but sometimes it's just too much for me and I have to respond. I fear that it's only a matter of time until they will ban me permanently...

Has DL ruined you as well for other forums?

Datalounge asplode.

My sister and my nephew (no, I'm not the "Nephew Troll") are going to Paris next week, a city I love but haven't been to for a decade . I've suggested places to visit but many aren't fascinating to a kid his age. He's very bright and a good traveler, aged 10, interested in history, fiction, computers, Dungeons & Dragons, theater, music, food, and video games. He loves to read Greek and Roman mythology. Loved Williamsburg, VA--hated Disneyworld. I'd appreciate any advice.

And Barbecue Becky?

Did Kunty Karen steal their thunder?

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!!

Facebook's internal research found that it encouraged polarization, but Mark Zuckerberg and other top executives rejected ideas aimed at fixing the problem, The Wall Street Journal reported.

One report concluded that Facebook's algorithms "exploit the human brain's attraction to divisiveness," according to The Journal.

But Zuckerberg and Facebook's policy chief, Joel Kaplan, repeatedly nixed proposed solutions because they feared appearing biased against conservatives or simply lost interest in solving the problem, The Journal reported.

The 20th anniversary is on October 3rd. I was a sophomore in high school and one of the school secretaries announced it over the PA system.

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!

I know Patrick Wilson has been naked on screen a lot. One time he even said that a friend told him that he shows his butt in everything.

Twitter employees are outraged by the company’s refusal to stop President Trump from using the platform to promote a conspiracy theory involving a former staffer of Trump critic and media personality Joe Scarborough, according to tech journalist Kara Swisher.

Swisher reported Tuesday that the widower of Lori Klausutis, who died suddenly in 2001 while working as a staff member in Scarborough’s congressional office in Florida, wrote Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey a heartfelt letter last week asking him to stop Trump from continuing to spread conspiracy theories about his wife’s death via the social media platform. Dorsey has so far refused to remove Trump’s tweets about Klausutis, a decision that Swisher said has angered many of the company’s employees.

“You might wonder why I get so much good information from inside Twitter,” Swisher said in an interview with the Yahoo News podcast “Skullduggery.” “They’re very unhappy.”

Swisher was co-executive editor of the Wall Street Journal’s All Things Digital website for years and went on to co-found the website Recode. Now an opinion columnist at the New York Times, she is widely regarded as one of the best-sourced journalists covering the technology industry.

In his letter to Dorsey, Timothy Klausutis alleged that the president violated Twitter’s terms of service when he used the platform to suggest that Scarborough had an affair with his wife and then murdered her. Authorities long ago concluded that Lori Klausutis, 28, suffered from a heart condition that caused her to fall at work, hit her head on her desk and die unexpectedly.

“An ordinary user like me would be banished from the platform for such a tweet, but I am only asking that these tweets be removed,” Klausutis wrote in his letter, which was first reported by Swisher in the New York Times Tuesday. “I’m asking you to intervene in this instance because the president of the United States has taken something that does not belong to him — the memory of my dead wife — and perverted it for perceived political gain.”

Swisher told “Skullduggery” that Dorsey does not want to remove Trump’s conspiracy-promoting tweets because he believes that they are newsworthy. But she said the problem with that stance is that it fails to consider the impact on Lori Klausutis’s widower. Swisher said that while she does not always enjoy the personal attacks she receives as a public figure and author, it comes with the territory — which is not true for Klausutis.

“If they want to act like a public square, let’s have a public discussion about this where we can have measured discussion and not a tweetstorm where everybody’s sending idiotic GIFs to each other and sort of topping each other and calling you a bitch or whatever the heck they want to do, I forget what I’ve been called today,” Swisher said. “Joe Scarborough’s going to be OK. ... He knows the price of this kind of thing. Donald Trump knows the price of this kind of thing. This widower is not these people.” A Twitter spokesman said that while the company is “deeply sorry” the president’s tweets have caused Klausutis pain, the company will not remove them. The statement noted that the company is “working to expand existing product features and policies so we can more effectively address things like this going forward, and we hope to have those changes in place shortly.”

Swisher called the statement a “typical Twitter response, which is a nonresponse.”

Swisher said her reporting suggests Twitter is leaning toward implementing a system in which false content is labeled and supplemented with articles offering factual counterpoints.

“It’s interesting, but it’s really onerous to do, it’s not scalable — they can only do it sometimes — and almost every tweet of his [Trump’s] is going to have a little asterisk next to it,” she said.

It took 20 years, but Jimmy Fallon's impersonation of Chris Rock on "Saturday Night Live" -- which he did in blackface -- has come back to bite him.

It seems unbelievable, but much like Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau last year, Fallon's late to learn the lesson that doing blackface at any point in your past is something that won't stay secret.

After the 'SNL' clip from the year 2000 resurfaced early Tuesday, the hashtag #jimmyfallonisoverparty began trending on Twitter ... and now, the late-night talk show host is apologizing.

Fallon says, "I made a terrible decision to do an impersonation of Chris Rock while in blackface. There is no excuse for this."

He adds ... "I am very sorry for making this unquestionably offensive decision and thank all of you for holding me accountable."

In the sketch -- which we repeat, aired on TV in 2000 -- Jimmy comes out in blackface dressed as the famous comedian to join Regis Philbin, played by Darrell Hammond, and crack some Chris Rock-esque jokes.

Hard to say if people found it funny back then ... but even Jimmy agrees it definitely was NOT worth it.

Of course, Fallon hosts 'The Tonight Show' on NBC, which many folks online were eager to point out is the same network that fired Megyn Kelly in 2018 for making controversial comments defending the use of blackface.

No word yet from NBC on if there will be any consequences for Jimmy.

“Andrew Cuomo is to Coronavirus what Rudy Giuliani was to 9/11. In a crisis, his authoritarian tendencies get retconned as leadership and their destructive impacts on people forgotten. When it comes time for the next phase of his ambition, there’ll be bewilderment re his behavior.”

Dimitri Diatchenko, best known for his work in HBO’s Chernobyl Diaries, has had his cause of death revealed after passing away suddenly at the age of 52 last month.

TMZ reports that the Office of the Medical Examiner in Daytona Beach, Florida listed his cause of death as “combination of fentanyl and diazepam toxicity,” which translates to accidental fentanyl and valium overdose. He also had suffered from an enlarged heart and had moderate coronary artery disease.

The medical examiner’s report also listed that he “sustained injury by electrocution [at 220 volts] while at work several days prior to being found dead at his home,” but apparently did not contribute to his death.

I grew up on the east coast. Have had the opportunity to move to NYC. But why? Here is a link about NYC landlords getting away with claiming a building is vacant when it isn't. I'll admit I rent in flyover country and work in higher ed. The worst landlord/tenant struggles are over security deposit.

Some landlords are jerks. I lived in an apartment where improvements were being made. We were going to be without water for a day. Which pissed me off. One call to the city and all the tenants were put up in local hotel. But in NYC every story seems to be about landlords screwing tenants or tenants screwing landlords.

Why the hell live there?

Do you ever wear one in public just walking around?

what could be the cause?

low testosterone?

thyroid?

crappy diet?

Lack of exercise?

age?

solutions?

TIA

Over the weekend I was watching some old family videos with my mom. These were from when I was about 12 to 14, when I started to realize I was gay but wasn't close to being out. Until I came out at 17, I thought I was hiding it successfully. But in the vids I watched, I saw that most of the time I wasn't hiding it at all. Were you equally bad when you were young at hiding your gay self from the world? And did people around you pretend not to notice it, the way my mom did?

Bored on quarantine. Look up bigboypig20 on Recon.

Real hot muscle FF pig who 100% slept his way through law school.

I'm always lamenting the fact that I can't find love, but then I suddenly realized that my behavior is part of the problem.

No matter how great the conversation, I totally get bored of a person right after we fuck around. How do I stop this?

Anyone remember this video from 2007 or so that made the rounds? Trying to find it but having trouble.

It was two old women who'd known each other for a long time, sharing a small hotel room I think in NYC. On wore a fur hat and was very, very mean, and the other had longer silver hair.

I think there was a sketch on Rupaul's SNL ep that was based on these women.

Help me DL, you're my only hope!

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

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

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

Twitter Apologizes for ‘Pain’ Caused by Trump’s Tweets Falsely Implying Joe Scarborough Committed Murder, but Takes No Action Against President

There are many place in Germany to get the sun in the park and yes we wear no clothes.

I have done this for years and when you need to pee you just step behind some trees and it is fine. No cops looking to arrest you for this. Both dogs and men can do it.

I was out the other day at Volkspark and wow....so much sex everywhere. With baths and bars closed the men of Berlin are back in the parks. In the past I have seen that things may go on discreetly but nothing like this. Covid orgy. At least the air is cleaner.

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.

But they won’t because why again? These people must be psychotic to make that much money and not care about the state of the world and its people. Why are we allowing billionaires to literally rule over us again? Because that’s actually what’s happening. I’m shocked there hasn’t been a rebellion yet.

He wrote it and is Directing as well as starring. Good for him.

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?

Poor guy

She looks quite good for being nearly 60.

There are so many different types, and made out of many different materials. Do you use them? If so, which type do you like? Why do you use them? Do they actually keep you erect until removed (and if so, which ones are best at doing this)? Or do you use them to enhance your pleasure?

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.

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

"A Christmas Memory" is a short story by Truman Capote. Originally published in Mademoiselle magazine in December 1956, it was reprinted in The Selected Writings of Truman Capote in 1963. It was issued in a stand-alone hardcover edition by Random House in 1966, and it has been published in many editions and anthologies since.

A Christmas Memory" was adapted for television for ABC Stage 67 by Truman Capote and Eleanor Perry. The production starred Geraldine Page and Donnie Melvin, and Truman Capote was the narrator. Both the teleplay and the program's star, Geraldine Page, won Emmy Awards.[2][3] The production also won the coveted Peabody Award.[4] This production is available on video under such titles as ABC Playhouse 67: A Christmas Memory or Truman Capote's "A Christmas Memory". This version starring Geraldine Page was also released in cinemas by Allied Artists in 1969 as part of Truman Capote's Trilogy.[5]

It's actually pretty fun. I'm getting into it. Lots of gay baiting.

The Minnesota senator and former prosecutor has problems with communities of colors that another top white contender, Elizabeth Warren, does not.

Sen. Amy Klobuchar performed abysmally among black voters in the Democratic primary. It’s haunting her now as Joe Biden decides on a running mate.

The Minnesota Democrat has the governing experience and ideological profile to mesh well with Biden, and she’s regularly appeared as a surrogate and a fundraiser for him, raking in more than $1.5 million for a single event she headlined. The pair have a warm relationship, trading phone calls when her husband was hospitalized with Covid-19, and they didn’t tangle publicly during the primary.

But more than a dozen black and Latino strategists and activists warned in interviews that selecting Klobuchar would not help Biden excite black voters — and might have the opposite effect. Klobuchar would “risk losing the very base the Democrats need to win,” said Aimee Allison, founder of She the People, which promotes women of color in politics. They pointed to Klobuchar’s poor performance among nonwhite voters during the presidential primary, as well as her record as a prosecutor in Minnesota.

It’s not yet clear how much the opposition of activists matters to Biden. He's made clear that the electoral politics of his pick matter less than choosing someone who can be a governing partner and step into the top job without worry.

But the vocal contingent of African American and Latino detractors — many of whom said they would prefer that Biden select a black woman as a running mate — is unique to Klobuchar; Elizabeth Warren, another top contender for VP, doesn’t elicit similar antagonism from communities of color.

"It comes from her performance in the primary — her weakness in being able to motivate them," said Adrianne Shropshire, executive director of BlackPAC, who supports several potential vice presidential selections. “The engagement and the enthusiasm of black voters is going to be a difference-maker in this election, and the concerns about her in this role stem from the degree to which she resonated or not with those core constituencies.”

Earlier this week, Biden confirmed that "multiple black women [are] being considered" for vice president. Those often named include Sen. Kamala Harris, former Georgia gubernatorial nominee Stacey Abrams and Florida Rep. Val Demings. Besides Klobuchar, other Midwestern options, like Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, have been mentioned.

But for many of these operatives, Klobuchar symbolizes a strategic division within the Democratic Party: whether to focus on winning back white, Midwestern voters who flipped to Donald Trump in 2016, or on activating voters of color who were not excited to vote. She “represents that tension,” said the Rev. Al Sharpton, who added he’s told Biden that he would prefer a black woman on the ticket, but noted he’s “not anti-Amy.”

I have such a crush on him.

Is he truly a tard of some sort, or is he doing an Andy Kaufman thing?

A thread dedicated to 80s songs contains several songs that have been played all my life and which I can’t stand.

SO with that in mind, post songs here that people seem to love and you just can’t understand why.

I’ll start with “Celebration.” This has been played all my life at gatherings and parties of all kinds, and it’s one of those songs that reliably annoys me.

What popular songs bother you?

This is kinda hot, but I’m not quite sure why. The Mountain inspires strange fantasies in me. Like he would fuck me a few times and realize how good it was and how afraid of him I am that he would start renting me out and keeping the money. Not that I’d ever go for that...it’s just...you know, a fantasy.

The Los Angeles Police Department has issued a warning directed to Hollywood Hills residents after seeing an “increase in loud house parties” during the coronavirus pandemic.

With the Los Angeles night club and bar scene currently shuttered due to shelter-in-place and social distancing regulations, cops are more frequently answering house calls over loud disturbances in the ritzy neighborhoods, while some people have turned to short-term rentals to get their party on.

“We are having a challenging problem with party houses in the hills,” senior lead officer Ralph Sanchez said in a video posted by the LAPD Hollywood division. “Please, don’t come up here to party. Come up here and enjoy Hollywood, but observe and obey the COVID [safety regulations].”

The officers cited issues like loud music and “screaming voices in the backyard at 3am,” which are disturbing local residents, as well as public intoxication, traffic ingestion and urination in the streets.

“If you can avoid these situations, you can avoid a visit from your local police agency in the middle of the night,” one officer stressed.

Later in the video, Ethan Weaver, a Hollywood neighborhood prosecutor, warned viewers of the consequences to throwing a party under the current circumstances. These repercussions can range from a citation to criminal prosecution and up to six months in jail. He explains that these consequences can extend to those hosting the party, but also to the homeowner renting out the property, even if they are not present at the time police arrive.

If residents feel the need to report a loud gathering of people, they may call the non-emergency line.

Gatherings of any size are currently prohibited under orders issued by both Los Angeles county and the state of California.

SpaceX’s launch of its Falcon 9 rocket to the International Space Station with a pair of NASA astronauts aboard the company’s Crew Dragon spacecraft set for Wednesday, with Elon Musk’s space company eyeing a liftoff window that opens at 4:33 PM ET/1:33 PM PT at Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, FL.

If the launch window holds for the Crew Dragon’s demo mission (its second) to the space station, it will mark the first U.S. manned spaceflight since the 2011 end of NASA’s Space Shuttle program. It will also be the first private, commercially built manned spaceflight, with astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley on board. (The Dragon spacecraft is designed to eventually carry private passengers into orbit, the ISS or beyond).

The Crew Dragon is expected to dock with the ISS on Thursday morning. Several factors will determine how long the ship and crew will stay before returning home.

Several networks are planning launch coverage Wednesday, including:

Discovery and Science Channel: The sibling networks will share live coverage for Space Launch Live: America Returns to Space starting at 2 PM ET/11 AM PT from the Kennedy Space Center. Among the guests lined up: Katy Perry, Mythbusters host Adam Savage and NASA engineer-turned-YouTuber Mark Rober. A quartet of current and former astronauts and NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine will offer expert insight for the program, which also will feature an interview with astronaut Chris Cassidy from the ISS. Chris Jacobs will host the launch special.

ABC News and National Geographic: The networks will join forces to present a two-hour, global live streaming and TV event covering the mission. Launch America: Mission to Space Live will kick off at 3 PM ET/noon PT today, with coverage continuing Thursday when the spacecraft is expected to dock with the ISS. From ABC News headquarters in New York, ABC News’ Tom and Linsey Davis will anchor coverage joined by ABC News Transportation Correspondent Gio Benitez and Correspondent Victor Oquendo, reporting live from Cape Canaveral, and Chief Meteorologist Ginger Zee, reporting from her home in New York. Moments before launch, ABC News will go on the air with a live special report on the ABC network.

Cable news outlets: Fox News Channel will air the launch live, with Neil Cavuto anchoring a special edition of Your World featuring interviews with leading experts to discuss the event. FNC also will offer its coverage to local Fox affiliates. CNN and MSNBC said they will break into regular programming for the launch but did not provide details.

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.

Where did you get your mask

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.

I was hoping to learn more about this man and finding out where he is now. The few stories about him are bleak. Allegedly he came to L.A. and attended one party, had his drink spiked, and "lost his mind." He returned to Australia where he was institutionalized. Anyone have more details? Is he still alive?

Dear Datalounge, long time therapy patient. Haven't been to a session in two months because of the pandemic. Been a functioning Agoraphobic since I was a teen. My therapist of course knows this. I haven't heard a thing not even a suggestion of phone sessions, not a call, e-mail, drive by wave on how I'm doing since my last session. Am I out of order and being silly? Or because there is no payment, out of sight, out of mind. Not really that needy but a call seems appropriate, for all she knows I could be dead.

Success or increases in COVID cases?

The author of the novel, "Mrs Miniver", stated in one scene in the book when fox-hunting comes up at a dinner party, that it was both irresistable and indefensible.

Thus, royalty. Silly, bankrupt, past its sell date, an offence to right-thinking moderns . . .

and irresistable.

Have at it . . .

Funny how only in pornography can someone with felony assault, get an award at a vanity project that after a few years thinks it’s the “Oscars” of gay porn. Zach Sire sure loves to report in the dirt of people, but is it a possible attraction to someone that he doesn’t report on a model from a studio he’s obsessed with? And blocks people on social media for tweeting him the link. Sad.

The poor boy looks perpetually hungry

OUT OF CURIOSITY?

The stain is from an organic material.

Carry on.....

What causes it? Insecurity?

Is it a deal breaker for you?

Upper middle class yuppies, who have been left behind by the rest of the country in their housebound self-isolation, have a new social anxiety to obsessively fixate on!

Who is clean enough, decent enough, to qualify for your family's quarantine bubble?

Will you be up to snuff for socially desireable couples' bubbles?

What and wherefore and how will such socially crucial invitations be extended in the appropriate manner?

Jennifer Weiner gives us her best Mrs. Bennet impression in the Times:

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.

“Twitter is now interfering in the 2020 Presidential Election," President Trump accused the social media giant after it fact-checked him on mail-in ballot claims. “Twitter is completely stifling FREE SPEECH, and I, as President, will not allow it to happen!”

Has he given up?

Now he looks like a real Chicago fireman after too many beers and deep dish pizzas...and tacos, as evidenced by the photo.

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?

His ear though.

Not Hallmark channel movies, but ones that are not about sex, death, or violence. Just clean, wholesome stories that are positive but not sappy or cheesy?n

Trump accused the platform of “stifling free speech” after it added a link to reports debunking his tweets about mail-in ballots leading to fraud.

The social media giant has faced mounting pressure to take responsibility for the president’s persistent use of the platform to spread misinformation and baseless conspiracy theories. Earlier on Tuesday, Twitter was criticized for declining to remove Trump’s tweets suggesting MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough, a former Republican congressman, might have killed 28-year-old intern Lori Klausutis when she worked in his Florida office. She died in 2001 after hitting her head on a desk. Authorities determined she fainted due to a previously undiagnosed heart condition and ruled her death an accident.

Why?

6:26 PM PT -- 5/14 Tough news for Mary-Kate ... her request to submit an emergency divorce filing was denied. Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Michael Katz ruled that the proceeding would not move forward.

Mary-Kate Olsen wants to get divorced, but she's hit a major roadblock -- coronavirus, so now she wants an emergency court order to speed things along.

Mary-Kate says her attorneys got an email from her husband, Pierre Olivier Sarkozy's attorneys this week giving her a May 18 deadline to get her stuff out of their NYC apartment. She claims Pierre is trying to force her out, because he terminated their lease without her knowledge.

She says she's been asking Pierre to give her until May 30, but claims he hasn't responded.

In the docs, obtained by TMZ, she says she can't meet the deadline -- this coming Monday -- because of quarantine guidelines in the city. Mary-Kate says the only way she can protect her property is if she's to file a divorce petition. That would trigger an automatic court order preventing him from disposing of her property.

Mary-Kate says she signed a petition for divorce back on April 17, but was informed NY courts were not accepting divorce filings -- other than emergencies -- due to the COVID-19 pandemic that was raging in the city.

She's requesting an emergency order to allow her to file the divorce. She's included her divorce petition in the filing, and in those docs, she requests their prenuptial agreement be enforced.

Olivier, a French banker, and Mary-Kate tied the knot in November 2015 in an intimate Manhattan ceremony. They started dating in 2012.

They don't have any kids together -- Olivier has 2 from his first marriage. This was Mary-Kate's first marriage ... and now her first divorce.

Woo look at these beach photos.

I hope she doesn't hold her baby the way she holds her dog.

Muriel murieled Part 19, so here's Justin on 3/25/20 for Gorgeous Gay Men, Part 20.

This time she suggested Trump should take a "Syringe with nothing but air inside it."

The "grab your musket," "maybe the second amendment people can deal with her," car-mowing-into-Charlottesville-crowd party has something to say on her civility.

What do you think DL?

“Stargirl” centers on high school sophomore Courtney Whitmore (Bassinger), who inspires an unlikely group of young heroes to stop the villains of the past. This series reimagines Stargirl and the very first superhero team, the Justice Society of America, and is produced by Warner Bros. Television, Mad Ghost Productions and Berlanti Productions.

The series focuses on the character that started creator Geoff Johns’ career as a comic book writer when he created her in 1999, lovingly inspired by his late sister who was killed in a 1996 plane explosion.

Apparently he's bisexual and sexy as hell.

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.

Pilots are often shot long before a show is picked up. What are some examples of big changes - changes in cast members’ appearance or to the set or what have you - between the pilot and the next episode?

I went downstairs to check my mail today and there was some latino 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. I could feel his hot spicy tamale breath when he asked me if I live 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 was scared. Luckily I gathered my wits, so dropped my keys just as I was opening the door, and swanned into a very low bend so my lace babydoll nightgown slid off the immense white mounds of my ass-checks and down over my back rolls, to halt around my neck. He was big and scary and I don’t like to fight. Do you think he’ll become a solution to my quarantine problem? What should I do?

72 today!

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.

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar told a British newspaper that she believes Tara Reade, the former Senate staffer who’s accused Joe Biden of sexual assault.

The congresswoman told The Times of London in an article that was published Sunday that she believes Reade, saying: “Justice can be delayed, but should never be denied.”

Reade has accused the former vice president and presumptive presidential nominee of pinning her against a wall in 1993 and sexually assaulting her.

In the Times article, Omar tells the reporter that if it were up to her, Biden wouldn’t be the Democrats’ nominee for the November election. During the primaries, Omar was a vocal supporter of Bernie Sanders.

On Monday, in response to criticism on Twitter, the congresswoman tweeted that “believing survivors” is consistent with her values. She also said that the Times interview was conducted on May 6 and that the “quotes aren’t always in context.”

While Omar did not explain the context for the quotes in her tweets, she did say that she’ll vote for Biden in order to get Trump out of the White House.

He addressed the allegations in an interview with MSNBC earlier this month, saying that anyone who believes Reade 'probably shouldn't vote for me'.

'I wouldn't vote for me if I believed Tara Reade,' he added.

Posting your home address (often in groups specifically for single mothers) for 1000s of strangers to see, and leaving food and wine outside the homes of total strangers. What could possibly go wrong?

Oh, Kathleen.

I want to get out of this hell hole that will be NYC in July and go to Germany. How likely is it that I’d be able to go? Will they continue blocking travelers from other countries, specifically the US?

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

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?

Olivia Wilde Anne Hathaway

Anymore?

Since the other one is now behind the paywall.

Did it have to be SO bad????

The hot Spaniards are back in class and as always partying, drugs, betrayal and murder are mixed in with school work and competitive scholarships. Now poor Lu throws her Valentine’s Day party with an upside down theme and the boys have to dress as sluts. Guzman comes in tight jeans and a halter. Polo ends up in yet another MMF, and Omar has an illicit kiss with someone who is not his hot boyfriend Zander.

Cheetolini's favorite new cable news station.

I watched a few minutes of this; it makes Fox look like Democratic Socialists. Just nonstop promotion of the president and lies about the impeachment process. And the anchors are cheap imitations of Hannity, Megyn Kelly, etc.

Has anyone watched this shitshow?

Derek has lived many of his recent years under the microscope with his fame. He’s been a part of live dance performances and recorded ones and learned from both. He has noticed an uptick in sharing or “over-sharing” of information and has often wondered if it can all be too much. “But I think it’s beautiful if it’s used for the right reasons – in a good way, in a positive way,” he noted.

What’s her story. He’s a cutie.

Just watched him on Dave Rubin. I always hoped he was family but on the other hand I did like what he had to say about how we should focus on not only improving both parties from within, but also in the necessity of reaching out and communicating with people you disagree with. Although he admits that he believes that white privilege exists, he doesn't believe it's institutional and doesn't believe that the government is actively trying to suppress people. If I were Rubin, I would have asked what institutional laws need to be passed knowing that institutional protections do not protect from unconscious bias. He also says that whe will carry a concealed weapon when he becomes an adult, which shocked me. He also says that even though he's pro gun control, he disagrees with a lot of the messaging from the movement he helped start and that he and Hogg don't necessarily see eye to eye.

He also appeared on Ben Shapiro's show knowing that he would be criticized just for that alone. He sounds very mature for his age and admits to not knowing everything, which is refreshing to hear. As someone who doesn't identify with either political party, watching him being interviewed gave me a lot of hope for future generations.

Similar to those of Shawn Mendes' "girlfriend" in this pic.

Do they take non white people in? Is there hot sex in the private gym?

Who will want to sit in a theater after all this. Plus will actors want to fly around the world to film things? Will it return to the old studio days where everything films in Los Angeles?

Yes, I KNOW this is insignificant in light of the current situation. But that's never stopped DLers before, so I'm hoping you can help me.

I have a vacation house in the middle of very scenic Bumfuck, Nowhere. There is a small, eclectic community where the locals shop for groceries, clothes, lube, etc., but if you want any kind of major appliance you have to drive over 100 miles.

When I bought this house seven years ago, I bought for it a new, big-ass 55" Samsung TV, which has served me faithfully. However, I notice that unlike me, the Samsung is not aging all that gracefully. It still works perfectly, but I occasionally have to reboot it, etc. It is, I think, perhaps on its way out.

My question is this: can I buy a new replacement for it and keep it in the box until I need it, or will it "go flat" in the interim? My old Samsung could drop dead next week or in 2025. I have no idea. The reason this concerns me is that I have connections where I live, through whom I can buy a new Samsung at a HUGE discount, as opposed to having to buy one near my vacation home, where I'd pay LOTS more.

Do TVs "keep?"

how are the lovebirds of DL?

brains, body and face!

The beating starts at 1:22 in the video link.

Just imagine if the races were reversed: the clickbait 24/7 wealthy media elite would playing this footage daily, nightly, and weekly. However, this particular hate crime jeopardizes their white on black narrative. They need their whites to be evil, and their blacks to be innocent. We're all nothing but objects to the 1%, chess pieces to be moved and removed at will and according to their whims. The last thing that they want is their citizens to unite against them.

Can we please stop with this ridiculous trope!

I just watched some of that Netflix Hollywood show and they have a storyline about some 1940s gas station where young hunks get paid to service these old horny hagresses.

PLEASE! If such a place existed, they certainly were not servicing old hags. Get real! They were getting paid to have sex with men!

‘Tiger King’: Joe Exotic’s Husband Dillon Passage Reveals One Thing Joe Doesn’t Know About the Show(Exclusive) et Tiger King star Joe Exotic's husband, Dillon Passage, made waves over the weekend when he partied with Too Hot To Handle star Bryce Hirschberg. The two celebs, from two of Netflix's biggest hit series, partied on a boat in Marina del Rey, California.

Passage turned up to celebrate Hirschberg's 30th birthday with friends, and the pair posed for cozy snapshots while piloting around the waters adjacent to the oceanfront city.

Passage, 24, shared photos of the festivities -- which went down on Saturday and Sunday -- to his Instagram story.

"Birthday boy. The man, the myth, the legend," Passage said, describing Hirschberg in a video he posted from the reality star's boat. "Marina Del Rey, bitches!"

Bryce Hirschberg Bryce Hirschberg/Instagram According to People, Passage befriended Hirschberg after meeting him through mutual contacts and Passage's manager also reps two of Hirschberg's Too Hot to Handle co-stars.

TMZ reports that Hirschberg invited Passage to the birthday bash after Passage reached out to him following the popular success of the Netflix reality dating series.

Passage, meanwhile, is married to Exotic -- whose real name is Joseph Maldonado-Passage -- who is currently serving a 22-year prison sentence on multiple charges including murder-for-hire and animal abuse.

Passage spoke with ET back in April and opened up about his marriage to Exotic, including the fact that the Tiger King star -- who is an avowed polygamist himself -- would "support" him if he were to pursue another relationship during Exotic's time behind bars.

"Me and Joe have had that conversation, actually," Passage revealed to ET's Lauren Zima. "He doesn't want me alone forever. Right now, I don't feel the need to fill that empty void, [but] if I do ever meet somebody that I feel is going to be very important to me, then Joe would be perfectly fine-- Well, maybe not perfectly fine, but he would support my decision to be happy again."

I haven’t heard much about this Pretty Little Liars in a pretty long time. He seems to have been doing smaller roles since PLL. Any gossip, girls? Thoughts on his looks and persona please.

Are there different stages of Frau? For example, I went to my niece’s wedding last weekend; it was like Pinterest exploded at the reception, you could tell she took waaaaay too much “inspiration” and tried to put every cutesy little thing to use.

She’s only 25, but does that make her a frau yet? I always assumed fraus were older, with children.

It's one of several things I've heard about him over the years.

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.

He's wise, witty, caustic and hates Trump.

See Bo, Nora, David Vickers, and the rest.....

Since this site is full of elders who lived through the 80s, how many of you are poz? If you aren’t, how did you manage to avoid getting infected? Were you celibate? If you are poz, how is your health after all these years?

Wasn't her dad like a billionaire?

What was it like? It seems a kind of hell.

Rebekah Jones said in an email to CBS12 News that her removal was "not voluntary" and that she was removed from her position because she was ordered to censor some data, but refused to "manually change data to drum up support for the plan to reopen."

My alarm goes off at 7:45 am. On some mornings my partner, Layne, is there laying next to me. But today it's just me and my little terrier mutt, Paco, who sleeps with his head on my chest. He has terrible breath, but the cuddles are worth it.

Layne is at his house in Koreatown with his roommate. We have decided that, for the time being, we're going to split our time between our two homes — some nights together, some nights apart.

"Good morning!" I text Layne, "I love you." Checking in has become a ritual of ours during lockdown.

I let Paco out, feed the cats, and make coffee. I put Bon Iver on the record player and sit down to write.

I can hear Matías, a friend who recently moved to Los Angeles from New York City, in the guest room. Alex, my ex-husband, is moving around in his room.

I am a 51-year-old gay man in an open relationship with my partner, which means we are allowed to play with other guys — together and apart. I'm quarantining with my ex-husband, his boyfriend, and our friend.

A lot of people ask me what it's like to live with my former partner. I tell them that he is like a brother. Just because things didn't work out in our marriage doesn't mean we don't want play a large role in each other's lives.

We live in a small three-bedroom craftsman house in Hollywood with a guest house in the back, where our friend — Robert — lives. We also have a front yard, and a backyard.

Sometimes it is just me, Alex, and Matías. Sometimes Layne is with us and Alex's boyfriend, Dylan, too. Dylan is quarantining in Silverlake with his roommate.

This is my family during the coronavirus pandemic: Five gay men, two cats, and a dog.

We are three separate households all coming together during this period of lockdown. We have very clear rules. We have all agreed to follow the guidelines around social distancing. We wear face masks when we have to go out, frequently wash our hands, and don't engage in potentially "dangerous" activity with anyone outside our extended family.

We know it's not just ourselves we are putting at risk.

Living in lockdown has forced us all to examine how we live our lives and how we approach our relationship with each other and other guys. Layne and I have had to talk a lot about what it means right now to be in an open relationship.

We decided that for the duration of the lockdown we would not be meeting other men. We are allowed to chat, video chat, attend Zoom "circle jerks' and exchange all the pictures we want. But for now, physically, it is just us.

We can revisit this as the world slowly begins to open up.

Being fluid is one of the most important tools in an open relationship. We both agree that we want to be able to explore other sexual partners, to be able to have experiences together and separate. But we are also aware that there will be times in our relationship when we will need to close things up, focus only on ourselves, or maybe renegotiate the rules around our status.

I've learned that non-traditional relationships require a lot of communication. Sometimes I feel like all we do is talk — even more so than when I have been in more traditional monogamous partnerships.

It is important that Layne gets to express his feelings around my living with my ex and it's my job to listen and to try to be as open and honest as possible.

For the most part it works. Layne is part of my family, just like Alex and Dylan and Matías are.

But living under stay-at-home rules can exacerbate any situation. We find balance in coming together for family time, when we eat dinner, watch movies, or just sit in the yard and in also allowing each other private space.

Finding this balance isn't always easy.

Sometimes we don't behave well. I have also found that small things can make me angry — if someone's hat is left on the table, if there are a few unwashed dishes, or there are no more cookies. Things that in normal times would not have bothered me can make me want to scream. Learning to self-regulate has been a challenge.

UCalifornia-Irvine sociologist argues that slavery acclimated African-Americans to a poor diet they've never overcome, which is in turn leading to their health problems today. Blacks are 2.4 X more likely to die from COVID than whites.

[quote] Promoting strained associations between race, body size, and complications from this little-understood disease [i.e. COVID-19] has served to reinforce an image of black people as wholly swept up in sensuous pleasures like eating and drinking, which supposedly makes our unruly bodies repositories of preventable weight-related illnesses. The attitudes I see today have echoes of what I described in “Fearing the Black Body: The Racial Origins of Fat Phobia.” My research showed that anti-fat attitudes originated not with medical findings, but with Enlightenment-era belief that overfeeding and fatness were evidence of “savagery” and racial inferiority.

About time.

A heavy breather?

Allegedly the cinematographer of “Criminal Minds" repeatedly groped male crew members, and retaliated against those who spurned his advances.

@BernieSanders

In America you should not suffer financial ruin because you got sick.

@BryanHawnItunes

In America you should not suffer financial consequences because someone else got sick. Everyone should be responsible for their own health decisions. I shouldn't be paying for someone else's health problems who willfully trashes their body when I choose to take care of myself.

@macleanbrendan

Bryan, you are being deeply cruel to people who have lost loved ones to unavoidable cancers. The very young, the old and the just unlucky. It’s so distasteful and misguided. You’re kind of like a cancer on common decency.

@BryanHawnItunes

ha! unavoidable cancers! So ignorant! You prevent cancer before you have it, not once its taken hold of your body. Their are hundreds of ways to avoid cancer. it only operates in a toxic breeding ground. People who have cancer or died have been cruel to themselves. #uglytruth

@macleanbrendan

Like children with leukaemia?

@BryanHawnItunes Replying to @macleanbrendan and @BernieSanders

Right the mother who trashed her body is responsible for that. She should pay for it, not me. Mothers who smoke drink alcohol, drugs, eat shitty food. Look at that leukemia does not appear out of nowhere. I’m a fan of science not imaginary disease causes.

London's National Theatre has been making a different old production available for streaming each week during the Corona lockdown.

I'm German, and lots of prestigious German theatres have been doing the same - Berlin's Schaubühne and Hamburg's Thalia Theater are even putting up a different productions every day. (Some of them with English subtitles available, I think, so it might be worth checking out even if you don't speak German.)

Are any other Anglophone theatres also streaming plays? (Or maybe French ones with subs?) Any recs?

It has been many years since she died, even more since she sat next to her husband as his head was shot off. I was born after that, and my parents always had mixed things to say about her. She "held the country together" but then she made the "bone headed move" [my Mom with a rosary] of marrying Onassis. Enough time has gone by. How does History remember her. How do the fine folks of Datalounge?

So what do you think of MSNBC's Dr. Vin Gupta? He is not related to CNN's Dr. Sanjay Gupta.

Without actually saying it, Vin conveys the feeling that Trump is an irresponsible piece of shit. He was so angry when he found out that Trump is taking hydroxychloroquine saying Trump is just trying to save face because he's been promoting this drug from the start, and he thinks Trump's medical team should resign and not enable and encourage this bad behavior.

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).

Uh-oh, looks like Kelly Ripa has been telling her fans a bit of a fib and they are not pleased. The Live with Kelly and Ryan host was revealed to have been quarantining in the Caribbean instead of in New York City, where she usually lives and films her talk show, according to People.

Of course, there's nothing inherently wrong with quarantining on a beautiful island, but lying about it to your loyal viewers makes this "fib" a bit harder to forgive. The family was apparently vacationing on a Caribbean island when they got orders from ABC to shelter-in-place and, as a result, decided to stay. The news was shared by a fellow ABC employee after Ripa shared her story in a virtual town hall meeting for ABC employees.

"We had planned a trip for our family, and it was supposed to be our entire family of course," said Ripa, according to a source who attended the virtual town hall. "And we arrive and three days later, the entire world changed, really. I mean, everything shut down; the government shut down; our country shut down. I hate to use the word stuck, but we were. We decided to stay where we were."

After getting "stuck," the talk show host and her husband, Mark Consuelos, and their three adult children have stayed put in the Caribbean. And fans had a lot to say about their quarantine experience on Twitter.

But several retorts agree that it wasn't about where Ripa was staying, rather about her representing herself as being in New York when she obviously wasn't.

Though the timeline of Ripa's trip to the Caribbean looks questionable, at best, the general consensus seems like all of this could've been avoided if Ripa had said from the get-go that she was in the Caribbean.

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

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.

Once he adds some more muscle.

Who cares about Coronavirus?

the boys are all in Miami for the annual Winter Party!

Starting to believe the paranoid posters.

Just a few hours away

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

Since y'all insist on mispronouncing it or misspelling it as "Bahn Mi," please refer them as Viet Baguette. The word "banh mi" just mean sandwich or bread or baguette in Vietnamese. No need to be fancy and calling it "Banh mi." It sounds ridiculous since there is equivalent of it in the English language. It is like being in Utah and insisting on calling an apple "pomme." "Pho," however, is a unique word in Vietnam and there is no equivalent English translation for it, so we can keep "pho" in English.

Dear Sir, Sear Madam, moo! Reopen, baby, reopen and moo!

So, it’s the first time we’re out of the barn in 6 months! That’s some quarantine and social distancing, but we’re frisky and free and I just gotta moo! Come moo with us, you’ll feel so much better, I promise.

If you’re feeling sick, we want to hear from you. Just moo, and we’ll send a cow out from the critical care cow center to look after you. We got your back, baby, and we haven’t lost a cow yet!

So maybe we should throw in the towel, because NO ONE is taking it seriously

According to this former star dealer Gérard Fauréex, a great French actor known internationally that he names Mr "A" was providing children for the rich rapists, he finished by being fired by Hassan 2 who forced him to sell his property in Morocco.

His insider testimony is rich in revelation on the dark side of the world of the powerful: politicians, artists, journalists, the judiciary…He has just implicitly accused Alain Delon of being a former pimp of child molestation :

Name a few for me!

She is the embodiment of evil, and I predict fireworks, shade, and perhaps gun play.

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.

Have you ever used hoodoo, santeria, or black magic to get protection from or revenge on an enemy? I went to a palo priest to protect me from a boss who had it out for me. She ended up losing all her friends at work, and then she developed health problems that forced her to quit.

That was worth the $125 I paid him. You?

“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.”

This was in my inbox, along with a file to download. Honestly, do these scammers even try anymore? NOTICED? PAYEMENT? I almost sent a few bucks just for making me laugh.

I've noticed some people think movies like Mommie Dearest (1981) and Showgirls (1995) are actually good because they enjoy them. I don't know if I agree. For me, something like Scream for Help (1984) is a fun, but clearly not a good movie.

Were you always getting electrocuted?

I'm a few years late and would have five seasons to watch, but what the hell? Coronavirus has given me lots of time. Worth tuning in?

It's like Dawn of the Dead.

In Florida of course. Wilton Manors to be exact.

Zac Sire calling someone crazy is like the pot calling the kettle extra black, however.

Will the Caftan brigade of Wilton Manors vote for him?

How did DL not discuss this?

Have no intention of trying the drug but wonder what the allure was.

Seems like I'm spending half my life in Zoom meetings nowadays. My apartment is hardly designer chic, and I'm sick of seeing people with bookshelves overloaded with Camus and Wittgenstein behind them. I'd like to get a cool background - either image or video would be fine. It would be great to have a 100-man gay orgy going on in the background, but I don't think that HR would be too happy with that. Any suggestions appreciated.

swipe for the weird ass pic. Does this basically confirm she got it done? It doesn't look natural at all

[quote]madonna Finally going to get my regenerative treatment for my missing cartilage!! I would be jumping up and down if i could after 8 months of being in pain. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻! Wish me Luck! 🙏🏼

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

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

If so, would you consider this a good development, a positive development?

Got any ideas to rile the Deplorables? I think we need to start a theory that Trump is actually trying to destroy the Republican Party from the inside. See Ann Coulter’s recent foaming-at-the-mouth “Retard” Tweets.

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

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.

In the aftermath of Huffman’s arrest, it was revealed that Eva Longoria and Marc Cherry had written letters of support for Huffman to the court.

While Longoria didn’t name Hatcher directly she said: "I dreaded the days I had to go to work with that person because it was pure torture.

"Until one day, Felicity told the bully 'enough' and it all stopped.

"Felicity could feel that I was riddled with anxiety even though I never complained or mentioned the abuse to anyone. I know I would not have survived those 10 years if it wasn’t for the friendship of Felicity."

Eva later joked during a Jimmy Kimmel appearance that 99% of the cast got on – mentioning Felicity and Marcia Cross – but not naming Hatcher or Nicolette Sheridan.

While Cherry wrote to the court: "We had a problematic cast member on my show. She was a big star with some big behavioural problems. Everyone tried their darnedest to get along with this woman over the course of the show. It was impossible. And things went from bad to worse.

"At some point during season seven this woman decided she would no longer speak to her fellow cast members. ‘Felicity still insisted on saying, ‘Good morning’ to this actress, even though she knew she wouldn’t get a response."

In 2012, Marc Cherry testified Sheridan told him Hatcher was "the meanest woman in the world," when Sheridan tried to sue him and ABC for wrongful termination and assault – a case that was dismissed by the judge.

It’s past midnight in several places now and this year will bring more reading opportunities!

What are your reading plans for the New Year? And what are you reading now?

My goals are no no longer buy any ebook that aren’t from a prescribed list of favourite authors, or aren’t under $5. O have far too many unread.

I also plan to read 2 classics per month and about 6 per month in total.

I will start with big ‘uns - Moby Dick, In Search Of Lost Time and thanks to the recommendations of Prof in the Classics thread I started a few months ago, the Iliad.

That said, I’m currently on a trashy holiday read - Grace Metalious’s Peyton Place, no less - so wish me luck.

Ooooopp

I adore her. I find her very talented and first saw her in Loving. I find her gorgeous (coming from a gay male). What do you think of this talented and beautiful actress?

First off, the video is entirely cutoff from the initial confrontation which apparently by the man's own admission in a FB post included him saying "Look, if you're going to do what you want, I'm going to do what I want, but you're not going to like it.” That's an ambiguous threat that leaves a lot to the imagination. The woman was alone walking her dog and confronted by a weirdo birdwatcher that carries dog treats around to provoke these kinds of scenarios. Don't feed other people's dogs treats-- that a huge breach of social etiquette and a really strange thing to do.

Secondly, pulling out your phone in today's age to record someone is a threat in and of itself in today's climate and immediately signals that you intend to destroy a person's professional and social life through a public humiliation spectacle like the one we're watching. She was aware of this and having a meltdown in the process. I would too-- this is a huge breach of privacy, and an act of intimidation that should be illegal. If she doesn't commit suicide Ms. Cooper should be entitled to civic remedy for the total disproportionate devastation she has incurred.

Thirdly, using the term "African African" or "White" or "tall" or whatever on a call to the police is descriptive. If you see a crime in progress or believe yourself to be the victim of a crime these descriptive terms are essential to law enforcement for identification persons. Otherwise you're about as useful as Ms. Swan explaining that "he looka like a man."

Yes, there's a plethora of instances of these kinds of white wimmin making these kind of malicious accusations in order to have an innocent black or minority men executed by police. There was a particularly disturbing video of a Karen that surfaced a year or so ago wherein a middle aged white woman screams "GUN!" falsely in her suburban neighborhood hoping that someone would run to her defense and do her bidding. This doesn't look like one of those cases to me. It looks like two pissed off New Yorkers having a dick measuring contest over who wields the most power.

Was this dude's need to BIRDWATCH really worth destroying this woman's life over? Jesus fucking Christ. You do not turn a camera on someone and expect to reach a calm resolution, it's an escalation of the situation by itself.

I guess her being burnt on the social justice pyre for what could have easily been deescalated with a few kind words both ways is somewhat retributive; but why is this guy's behavior being whitewashed?

He comes across as an instigating troll in his own facebook regalement and the video we watched was not really not the full picture

“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.

What do think about this guy Jeff Sanders and other "productivity" gurus?

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.

And it shows in his face and ass. He still looks great, actually, I find him hotter now. He looks so damn thick. That ass looks AMAZING

Thank goodness. after all they didn't get the $1,200

After years of pretending to be allies, while using their sloppy snatches to get money and power, is this the end of white females and their ability to win the mental games of life and play the victim? Will the Mayella Ewells of the world finally be put to bed?

I know it sounds stupid, but I have been thinking about it last few days.

A lot of films who were supposed to premiere this year are getting delayed because of closed cinemas. Does that mean that the quality of the nominees is going to be much lower than previous years?

Is there even going to be a ceremony?

Where else but Chicago

You know some lucky bitch has some, straight guys are stupid and love to text pics of their dicks. I don't care if his face isn't visible, I just need a look at that succulent MAN MEAT.

It can't happen soon enough, he is sooooooo fiiiiiinnnnnnnnneeeeeeeeeee!!

Cheers to season 16, returning in the Fall!

And the many faces of Dean Winchester.

We would FINALLY have candidates who could shut Trump's orange orifice for good.

If you hear of one, you can just about bet there have been others who have been paid off.

Plato or plomo. Or plato o starvo.

Every transaction has to be a massive question and answer session. I try to get in and out of stores as quickly as possible to minimize contact and every register transaction is a major back and forth discussion that completely contradicts the whole idea of social distancing.

Or at least he is taking photos with them!!!

A former Pensacola, Florida, teacher who pleaded guilty last year to sex offenses involving students begged a judge last week to consider ordering him to be castrated instead of sentencing him to prison, the Pensacola News Journal reported.

Mark Lua, a former high school English teacher, was arrested three times last year after allegations arose that he coerced a student into sending him an inappropriate video, had sex with an underage student, and that he had sexually assaulted an 18-year-old former student. He ultimately pleaded guilty to multiple sex crime charges that arose from the allegations.

"My actions were despicable to say the least," Lua said in court. "I do believe that punishment is necessary, and I am requesting chemical castration not only as a punishment but as an act of solidarity to show how sorry I am for everything. If your honor is so inclined, I am even willing to undergo physical castration if that way I can stay home and raise my daughter."

The judge didn't respond to Lua's request and sentenced him to 12 years in state prison, followed by 15 years of probation, the paper reported.

In an effort to coerce underage girls to send him inappropriate videos, Lua made a profile pretending to be the cosplayer and Instagram influencer Courtney Carmody, the News Journal reported.

"He seemed to seek out girls that came from unstable or troubled homes," Assistant State Attorney Erin Ambrose said during Lua's court hearing. "He manipulated them, and he betrayed them because he was a teacher."

At Lua's sentencing hearing, he told the court he suffered from a genetic disorder called neurofibromatosis that has caused numerous painful, tumorous growths. Lua said he was suffering from frequent panic attacks around the time of his crimes because of fears and concerns about the disease, the paper reported.

Ambrose dismissed that idea in court.

"This condition did not seem to debilitate him while he was trolling the halls, looking for students to have sex with," the prosecutor said, according to the News Journal.

Cue Mika calling for Joe Biden’s head.

Ha!!

Shame it never got a second season. It was trashy fun. Whatever became of the cast? I know one of them went into porn. Chad was super sexy. They should’ve made him the suitor for the next season.

I've heard that a lot of Norwegians are actually quite conservative and western Norway especially is quite homophobic. Not sure completely but I remember there being a Norwegian anon here describing it like that.
