I just started re-watching TNG since it's on 24 hours a day. What was the set like? We have a number of tv show trivia experts here-- what do you know about this show?

It feels like these movies will be forever entwined. Which one do DLers prefer?

No, not that way.

It's kind of funny.

Yet I am sure no one even noticed the shiny forehead. They’re all distracted by everything else wrong with her new face

Damn damn damn

NOTE: Though creating this thread has come after much deliberation, and though I expect it to be met with a level of derision - this is DL, after all - I have decided to go through with it anyway. Weeks ago, I created another thread (“O Ye of Little Faith…”) to spur discourse on prayer, meditation, and contemplation and though it received 19 likes (not many by DL standards, I know), it was stricken.

In either case, I have decided to create this thread to post excerpts from my prayer journal because 1) I firmly believe in the power of prayer and believe more of us need to practice it along with meditation and contemplation; 2) I believe there are several DL members who are receptive to prayer and the discussion of it; and 3) I just want to share my prayers with you all.

As much as I find certain aspects of DL loathsome, I cannot deny that, for the most part, I simply love you cunts and bitches. Your wit, humor, intelligence, and ability to add levity to almost any situation is both admirable and addictive. Though I have periodically had to undergo a “DL purge,” during which I abstain from visiting this forum for prolonged periods of time, I often and inevitably return. I just can’t help being away from you all for so long.

Prayer is a practice we are both called and fall into. It must become for us a daily act as essential and necessary as breathing, consuming a meal, or bathing; as rest or sleep; for it does provide all of those things - and much more - in overflowing abundance. Prayer is an act of withdrawal just as much as it is an act of ultimate liberation.

And with that said, I hope and pray that you receive my prayers with some measure of willingness to understand and accept what I am attempting to do. I also hope it encourages some of you to pick up your own prayer, meditation, and/or contemplation practice. ::sending you all much love and prayers::)

For weeks now, ABC has been busy promoting its new fall series “Big Sky.” Teasers ran on Instagram feeds, ads popped up online and trailers debuted during commercial breaks for “Dancing with the Stars” and “The Bachelorette.”

The mystery thriller, from esteemed television creator David E. Kelley, follows a group of detectives hunting down a kidnapping truck driver in Helena, Montana.

And, in case you missed it, the show stars Ryan Phillippe.

Aside from the occasional guest spot, Phillippe, ’90s heartthrob of “I Know What You Did Last Summer” and “Cruel Intentions” fame, hasn’t been seen on network TV since his role as Ben Crawford in 2015′s “Secrets and Lies.” So, understandably, his casting in the Kelley drama sparked interest among stuck-at-home viewers.

“Get your first look at Ryan Phillippe in David E. Kelley’s ‘Big Sky,’” an Entertainment Weekly headline read. “You’ll Be Hooked On This Love Triangle In Ryan Phillippe’s Thriller ‘Big Sky’: Watch a Sneak Peek,” E! Online wrote. “Does Ryan Phillippe’s new drama Big Sky hit the mark?” Digital Spy asked.

“It’s a cliffhanger, this show,” Phillippe warned during one of his many press interviews ahead of the Tuesday night debut of “Big Sky.” “It’s an edge of your seat, you can’t wait for the next episode, lots of twists and turns [show].”

The 46-year-old plays Cody Hoyt, a private investigator working alongside fellow detective Cassie Dewell (Kylie Bunbury) and his estranged wife, ex-cop Jenny Hoyt (Katheryn Winnick), as they search for two missing sisters (Natalie Alyn Lind and Jade Pettyjohn). Soon, they learn the women aren’t the only ones to disappear off a certain remote highway, leading Cody to meet up with state trooper Rick Legarski (John Carroll Lynch) to learn more about the area.

Then, Cody dies.

Yes, Phillippe’s character is shot and killed by undercover bad guy Legarski in a “Game of Thrones”-like twist. Only, “Big Sky” isn’t “Game of Thrones.”

The closing moment of the pilot episode was almost irritating, and left Phillippe followers, understandably, reeling.

The death didn’t surprise everyone, though. Not only is “Big Sky” based on C.J. Box’s Cassie Dewell novels, those who tuned into “Good Morning America” live on Tuesday morning were prematurely spoiled when Bunbury accidentally said she was “shocked” to learn the writers kill off Phillippe.

“I also had some deep thoughts about what his fans are going to think about it,” she reportedly said as a flabbergasted Phillippe and Winnick reacted via video call. The interview was edited to remove Bunbury’s comments.

When Willard Scott gave the weather report dressed as Boy George on the Today Show circa 1985.

With COVID-19 cases increasing in 46 states, 10 of which broke single-day records for new cases on Thursday, America has officially entered what experts refer to as the “exponential” phase of spread — a rapid multiplying of cases that can’t be contained through traditional measures. On Thursday alone, the U.S. saw 160,000 new cases of the virus, more than any day since the pandemic began.

In California, the second state to surpass 1 million cases, thousands of people in cars lined up at Dodger Stadium on Thursday to get tested; in parts of Washington state, individuals waited four to five hours.

The current spike in cases — which some states are calling a third wave — has brought more than 100,000 new cases a day since Nov. 4. But that’s not counting those that may be going undetected. “We have widespread, uncontrolled COVID-19 in many parts of the country,” says Dr. Amesh Adalja, senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security. “And we know the cases reported are an underestimate of what is out there ... we’re missing many cases because people aren’t getting tested. So the true number is much higher than what we’re actually seeing.”

Adalja says that exponential spread means a virus is no longer increasing on a linear scale but is instead spiking at a rapid rate. Dr. Oguzhan Alagoz, an engineering professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison who models the spread of infectious diseases, agrees, saying exponential spread refers to an “unbelievably high growth rate.” In this case, that means new COVID-19 cases in many parts of the country are doubling or tripling each week. Part of this, he says, is due to the fact that COVID-19 seems more contagious than other viruses.

With influenza, for example, the R0 (basic reproductive number) — or the average number of people to whom someone spreads a virus — is one to two. With COVID-19, the R0 number has hovered around three. “So say if I infect three people, those three people are going to each infect another three people, and those three are going to infect another three,” Alagoz explains. “This is why it’s multiplying in such a short time.”

Looking closely at the numbers in the U.S., it’s not hard to find examples of exponential spread, both on the national level and among individual states.

According to the COVID Tracking Project, the U.S. surpassed 5 million cases of COVID-19 on Aug. 9, but by Nov. 9 had nearly eclipsed 10 million. In Wisconsin — one of the hardest-hit states — the average number of new cases a day went from 2,800 in early October to nearly triple that this week. In Michigan, another Midwestern state recently affected by the pandemic, active hospitalizations went from 669 in early October to more than 2,000 this week, filling up intensive care units and leading Gov. Gretchen Whitmer to declare it a “dire” situation.

In North Dakota, where a motorcycle rally of nearly 500,000 people in neighboring South Dakota is believed to have set off an outbreak, average daily cases have gone from 400 in early October to 1,800 a day this week. Adalja says spikes like this are dangerous. “When you see an outbreak, it may not necessarily begin with exponential spread, but once you start to get a critical number of cases, then the spread really just takes off in a way that’s really explosive,” he says. “It is a particularly worrisome type of spread because it becomes very hard to control when you’re in that type of a phase of growth.”

Dr. William Schaffner, an infectious disease expert at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, agrees that the U.S. has reached a new level in the pandemic. “The virus is spreading rampantly. I’ve heard someone refer to it as ‘volcanic’ and I think that’s accurate.” Schaffner says that COVID fatigue is likely playing a role, with individuals becoming more lax with social distancing and mask wearing.

Anecdote from Kenneth Batelle, hair stylist: "...they shared an intimate styling moment together after a film exec spilled Champagne on her beige silk dress, rendering it transparent.

“You could see everything, like she was in a wet T-shirt,” he said. “She was going to throw the mink coat over the stains for the press conference, but I told her that if she wasn’t changing her dress, she should at least put on some underwear.”

But Monroe didn’t want to wear panties, since they would show through her dress, so Battelle thought up another solution.

“I said, ‘I hear Jean Harlow didn’t wear underwear, either — but she used to bleach her [pubic] hair so it wouldn’t show through,’ ” he said. “So I went downstairs to the hotel drugstore and bought her powdered milk of magnesia, 20% peroxide and spirits of ammonia. It’s a very old formula for decolorizing hair. I told her, ‘Now go in the bathroom and bleach.’ Nothing showed through when they switched on those bright lights.”

What is your favorite form of escapism these days, the thing you do to run away from the horrors of a 2020 reality? I'm turning to Game Of Thrones. What about you?

Just watched a doc on him on Showtime. I don't really get it. I understand he had ambition and was fearless. But was he really all that funny? If so, what am I missing?

What am I missing for those here that were young during his heyday? (For the record, I think his contemporaries Gilda Radner and Bill Murray are comic geniuses.)

Mayors from four states: KY, PA, OH, and West VA, says we need billion to rebuild a decaying Middle America,

But these states, in 2016, voted for Trump. Didn't he make America Great Again? Didn't he get them huge increases in coal mining and manufacturing, like he promised?

No? Then why did three out of the four voted for Trump AGAIN in 2020???

You get what you voted for. FUCKING POVERTY

The Reagans, a new four-part documentary airing on Showtime, pinpoints this flair for PR as the genesis of Ronald Reagan’s swift rise in government and the secret to his administration’s sweeping popularity within the Republican party. The 40th commander-in-chief and his first lady, Nancy Reagan, exercised a then-unprecedented degree of control over how they were seen, and for it, they were anointed as the new saviors of the rightwing way of life during their stint in the White House during the ‘80s. “More than any modern president, the myth-making around Ronald and Nancy Reagan has been extensive and effective,” series director Matt Tyrnauer tells the Guardian from his home in Los Angeles. “They created a false image that doesn’t conform with reality, one that is only now being fully examined.”

Hello, I hope you are all keeping well. I am a Linguistics, Philology and Phonetics student at the University of Oxford, researching how contemporary cisgender gay men use female pronouns for themselves/other men, as well as other contemporary gay men’s attitudes towards this pronoun-usage. I have seen that this has been a frequent topic of discussion on this forum and I was therefore interested in analysing some of the forum’s posts. In particular, I was hoping to directly quote anonymously made posts from the following threads in my research (I am not able to directly link them due to a recurring error message, but the threads can be easily found through a Google quote search): "Gay guys using female pronouns??" "Gay men.... do you refer to your gay male friends using the feminine pronouns?" "Tops using feminine pronouns for bottoms" "She thinks she's cute today!" "Referring to other gay men as "ladies" or using feminine pronouns is one of the most self-hating things you can do" As most of the users of this forum are anonymous, I cannot get in touch with anyone directly to ask for consent to directly quote their posts in my research. However, if you posted anonymously in any of these threads and do not want your post to be used, please email me at linguistics.oxford@outlook.com and inform me of your post(s), and I will happily exclude them from the study. If you have any questions or concerns, you are welcome to get in touch with me either here or via email. I would also be eager to hear the community’s opinions on this potential post-usage. Have a nice day!

Oh Cat People of DL, I am desirous of your input!

In the summer, we had a mama kitty show up at our house with two kittens, literally crying/begging for food on our front porch. We of course provided, so Mama and babies moved in under the porch. The mama is less feral, but still very quick and you can't really touch her. The babies are more feral.

This past weekend, I was able to trap the babies and get them to the vet to be spayed (turns out we had to little girls - sooo glad they are now spayed!) but Mama wouldn't go near the traps we had set, even when I put stinky sardines leading up to them and in them. THEN, she witnessed her two babies get trapped so she isn't going near these traps as far as I can tell.

Since she's the source of the problem (more kittens soon if we don't do something!), I'm getting increasingly anxious about finding a way to catch her to get her fixed.

This is our weekend house out in the country, so there aren't any nonprofit services or anything like that to access.

Any pointers or any resources you could share in how to snag this pretty Mama and get her fixed? She's had enough babies.

I'm back on my Diana bullshit and couldn't be happier.

Bates spent 18 months “wading through bile” in the online 'manosphere'.

“Imagine a world in which the hatred of women is actively encouraged, with sprawling, purpose-built communities of men dedicated to fuelling and inflaming the cause… a world in which thousands of men band together, demonising and railing against evil, soulless, greedy women, graphically plotting their rape and destruction. Imagine a world in which some men actually enact such fantasies… a world in which vulnerable men, lost boys, and confused, scared teenagers are swept up and preyed upon by such communities.”

Where are we? A Margaret Atwood dystopia? Nope.

"You don’t have to imagine this world," writes Laura Bates in her new book, Men Who Hate Women. “You already live in it.” Bates founded the Everyday Sexism Project in 2012, and published her first book, Everyday Sexism, in 2014. Her second, Men Who Hate Women, takes us deep into online misogyny, and how it spreads outwards, to teenage boys, to mainstream media, to the White House. It is a shattering read, because when we think about violent, online misogyny, we assume it’s just a handful of creepy losers at the far end of the internet. It’s not.

"What if our desensitisation to low-level, ubiquitous misogyny is preventing us from recognising a full-blown crisis?" asks Bates. Yet, increasingly, mainstream male attitudes are changing, with men now more likely to view themselves not as perpetrators, but as victims. (The Me Too movement, for example, elicited 12m responses from women, but resulted in consequences for only a few hundred men, yet was deemed a witch hunt by the BBC and other mainstream media outlets.)

Bates spent 18 months "wading through bile" in the online manosphere, to places far beyond low level. Posing as Alex, "a disillusioned, young white man…not a hardened misogynist, just a bored guy surfing the internet," she encountered the incel community.

Incels are 'involuntary celibates': Men who are not having sex with women and who subsequently hate women, whom they refer to as 'foids', that is female humanoids. (At no point do these guys join the dots between their misogyny and their celibacy, because they are too busy posting female-directed hate.) They number in their tens of thousands, have forums, podcasts, chatrooms, and YouTube channels. They are almost exclusively white Americans, Canadians, Australians, British; they believe the world is a gynocracy, "a feminist conspiracy and a deeply rigged sexual market place". They use extensive jargon. They hate women, they hate men who have relationships with women, and they hate themselves. Common threads include, 'Should women be considered human?'; 'All women are whores'; 'Women are not sentient'; 'Why I support the legalisation of rape.' The owner of one incel site, which promoted rape, incest, and acid attacks on women, turned out to be a married, 37-year-old father, an accountant and pro-Trump congressional candidate from Virginia.

There have been several incel mass shootings, most infamously the Parkland Florida high-school massacre: The gunman was 'inspired' by an earlier incel killer; such murderers become deified within the incel community, while being treated as disturbed loners by the law, rather than as actual terrorists. "I will slaughter every single, spoiled, stuck-up, blonde slut I see," one mass murderer posted on YouTube. He did just that, at the University of California in 2014. His upload has been viewed more than 1.5m times and liked almost 10,000 times. A month later, a teenager in the UK attempted to murder three women with a knife, writing in his diary how he wanted "revenge" against women because he was a virgin.

What are they? I collect film scores, and added both Danny Elfman's "Batman Returns" score, and Stanley Myers' suite from "The Witches" (1990) to my holiday season playlist years ago. Myers' suite is warm, whimsical, upbeat, and even a bit cold, dark & mysterious. That describes a lot of scores, but it definitely applies here, which is why I believe it's perfectly suited to a holiday music playlist.

[bold]Helicopter pilot finds 'strange' monolith in remote part of Utah

State employee spotted mysterious metal structure amid red rocks while counting bighorn sheep[/bold]

A mysterious monolith has been discovered in a remote part of Utah, after being spotted by state employees counting sheep from a helicopter.

The structure, estimated at between 10ft and 12ft high (about 3 metres), appeared to be planted in the ground. It was made from some sort of metal, its shine in sharp contrast to the enormous red rocks which surrounded it.

Utah’s highway patrol shared images of both the sheep and the monolith.

“The U.S. media are in this bizarre and impossible situation where you have this person in the White House doing these unusual things. And they feel compelled to cover it. At the same time, we don’t think of this as a Trump effect; we really think this is broader than that."

I have never studied art history formally, but I know something about Italian and Northern Renaissance paintings and book illustrations, and a little about medieval manuscripts.

I have looked at a lot of Chinese art and now I'm onto art of the Persian and Mughal Empires. Chinese art, at least for me, is an acquired taste. In particular, the use of perspective is so different from European Renaissance painting and it really requires a shift in expectation on the part of the viewer. I really like Chinese painting now, especially of the Ming and Qing dynasties. (Tang, Song, and anything earlier I don't like quite as much.)

For whatever reason, I am not warming to Persian and Mughal (below) art. I'm not sure why ... something about it -- the colors? -- grates. Maybe I just haven't looked at enough. And I admit I am very ignorant of its art historical context. Sometimes I wonder if I've been unconsciously conditioned to look at all art through a Western perspective and it negatively impacts my taste.

Amid claims of social media platforms stifling free speech, a new challenger called Parler is drawing attention for its anti-censorship stance.

Debates surroundings free speech and censorship have taken centre stage in recent months. In May, Twitter started adding fact-check labels to tweets from Donald Trump.

More recently, Reddit permanently removed its largest community of Trump supporters.

In this climate, Parler presents itself as a “non-biased, free speech driven” alternative to Twitter. Here’s what you should know about the US-based startup.

Parler reports more than 1.5 million users and is growing in popularity, especially as Twitter and other social media giants crackdown on misinformation and violent content. [bold](OP note: On Sunday 7/12, Parler CEO John Matze gave an interview on Breitbart's SiriusXM program and said they added around a million more users in the last 2 weeks. They are hovering around 3 million now.)[/bold]

Parler’s main selling point is its claim it embraces freedom of speech and has minimal moderation. “If you can say it on the street of New York, you can say it on Parler”, founder John Matze explains.

This branding effort capitalises on allegations competitors such as Twitter and Facebook unfairly censor content and discriminate against right-wing political speech.

While other platforms often employ fact checkers, or third-party editorial boards, Parler claims to moderate content based on American Federal Communications Commission guidelines and Supreme Court rulings.

So if someone shared demonstrably false information on Parler, Matze said it would be up to other users to fact-check them “organically”.

This is the leader they follow? I can’t. He’s pathetic.

Won’t somebody from the Hostess Bakery please send her a care package?

Please share your recollections to enlighten those who came after us.

I think I don't. At least the German speaking ones. I think they are arrogant, boorish, boring and stuck up. I also slightly dislike Swedes and Dutchies due to their arrogance in the pandemic.

Posting endless famewhoring selfies, bragging about her daughters and her perfect life. She's a mug cradler for sure!

How does she have 65,000 followers?

Oh, Duckling.

Was it done on velvet?

If this has been discussed as nauseum, you make have me flogged in the public square of Gaytown by a sweaty muscular brute.

If not, shoot.

Will Shannon drive away her beady-eyed, closeted boyfriend? Will Gina enter rehab for her obvious coke problem? Will Kelly be fired for being a horrible, Trump-fellating human being? Can Dr. Deb please stay the fuck off my TV screen?

She needs to keep paying without any govt. help.

I feel like we don't talk about him enough here. He has all the makings of a DL legend, smoking hot, immersed in LGBT drama and rumors, fancy lifestyle despite no real job, etc etc, hunty!

I guess since he has been a subtopic of other threads, his name doesn't come up more often.

I know that a lot of my fellow Dataloungers are doing more cooking and baking these days, so let's share some of our successes and failures.

Some things I've made lately: Cook's Country's Slow Cooker Sausage Ragu (delicious and easy.)

Pioneer Woman's Brown Butter Crispies (OK, but kind of dry.)

Chocolate Malt Ice Cream with Malt Ball Crunch (VERY good.)

I'm making Emeril's Chicken Gumbo this weekend. I just finished the "Rich Chicken Broth"; will make the gumbo tomorrow.

Things I'm considering making in the future:

Lahm Bi Ajeen (from the current issue of Food Network magazine)

Swiss Steak

Alfajores (Argentine sandwich cookies)

Spaghetti w/Pancetta & Ricotta

Sourdough Bread

Challah

Deep-Fried Turkey

Please share your experiences!

My guess: Initially, she would have been tolerant of Kate, who would defer to her, but at passive-aggressive war with Carole Middleton, which would reach a boil during wedding planning.

She'd "act" as a champion of Meghan in the early stages of the courtship. Maybe even support her through all the Markle family mess pre-/post-wedding. But there's no way in hell she'd let that minor-league drama queen usurp her major-league drama queen throne in the long run.

God, I wish she was still alive! I miss her crazy-ass nonsense.

A Hasidic wedding in Brooklyn slipped under the radar of city officials as it crammed 7,000 maskless people into a synagogue in defiance of Governor Andrew Cuomo's coronavirus restrictions.

On November 8, crowds gathered shoulder to shoulder in the Yetev Lev temple in Williamsburg to celebrate the nuptials of Yoel Teitelbaum, grandson of Satmar Grand Rabbi Aaron Teitelman.

To keep the celebration under wraps, the community shared information on the wedding only by word of mouth as organizers schemed to avoid it being broken up by 'the ravenous press and government officials'.

The crowd crammed into the wedding even as coronavirus cases in the city and state rise and Mayor Bill de Blasio and Cuomo threaten further lockdowns if the outbreak isn't taken back under control.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended that Americans stay put for the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday and celebrate only with their immediate households to help stop the spread of COVID-19.

“CDC is recommending against travel during the Thanksgiving period,” Dr. Henry Walke, the CDC’s COVID-19 incident manager, said in a press conference Thursday. “For Americans who decide to travel, CDC recommends doing so as safely as possible by following the same recommendations for everyday living.”

The official announcement is a “strong recommendation” and not a mandate required by law, but aims to serve in the interest of public health at a time when cases are rising at an alarming pace across the country, hospitalizations are reaching new peaks, and the death toll surpassed 250,000 this week.

“From an individual household level, what’s at stake is basically an increased chance of one of your loved ones becoming sick, and then hospitalized, and dying,” Dr. Walke said. “We certainly don’t want to see that happen. These times are tough. It’s been a long outbreak.”

Thursday’s announcement is also stricter than the agency’s prior suggestions for group gatherings that were criticized by leading physicians, who felt the guidelines were unrealistic and lacked a definitive stance, therefore setting the country up for another massive case spike.

Dr. Dara Kass, associate professor of emergency medicine at Columbia University Medical Center, has been vocal about her opposition to those suggestions, saying they gave “permission for people to be exceptions to the rule,” rather than “hard stops” and a “clear case of rules that people need to follow.”

During the pandemic, Dr. Kass noted that the CDC has made a habit of rolling back its own suggestions regarding public health and safety. This latest announcement comes just a week before Thanksgiving and just before the travel rush kicks off.

“I don't have time to wait for a retraction,” Dr. Kass said.

For those who already made plans but are now reconsidering how to spend the holiday, there’s time to recoup some financial losses. Major U.S. airlines like American Airlines, Delta, and United are honoring refunds, free change fees, or providing customers credits for future travel. Amtrak is also waiving change fees for reservations booked by Dec. 31.

My husband needs a cardiac cathertization. I haven’t worked in a hospital in 20 years, but back then we only did cardiac caths at hospitals where they did heart surgery. My husband is raring to go get his cath at a local community hospital on eastern Long Island. I’d rather he go to one of the hospitals that do heart surgery. Is cardiac cath a much safer procedure now? We used to have an on-call OR room when we did caths in case of dissection

I hate this guy

A Noguchi. I kind of like it.

I'm not surprised that Philip was not a particularly good parent, since his parents were always absent and his father didn't care for him. But I am surprised the Queen was not better since her own parents were so warm and loving to her. Unless the stories of her family holed up together at Windsor during the war were just propaganda, she had the example of what it was like to have parents who spent time with their children and were kind and supportive to their children.

It cannot be just because she was so busy as queen--Diana was a great parent to her boys (except for forgetting to buckle up that one crucial time), and William and Kate have seemed attentive and loving towards their own kids.

It's for my sister, who is somewhat of a suburban Frau. She collects snowmen. It's Thomas Kinkade, whose company apparently makes lots of wintery things.

"This molded crystal snowman inspired by renowned holiday artist Thomas Kinkade’s original artwork displays a twinkling winter scene encircled by a miniature moving train. A three-dimensional, handpainted winter tableau inside the snowman depicts snowcapped Victorian homes with illuminated windows, an “icy” pond, and holiday revelers in rich detail. A five-car train circles the snow-covered base and the snowman is trimmed with a top hat, silvery scarf and mittens, and a 19th century-styled lantern. A plaque on the base bears the title “Thomas Kinkade White Christmas.” Includes a numbered certificate of authenticity. Requires three AA batteries. 12" H x 7 1/2" Diam. (5 lbs.)"

I think us fans need our own little corner to discuss our thoughts and feelings about this everlasting TV progrum.

Let's de-stress for the holiday season by getting some stuff off our chests.

When Holmes returns to the show, he’ll have been recently promoted to lead the Brooklyn DA’s Civil Rights Unit. He’ll be pulled back into the SVU fold after one of his old schoolmates comes under investigation and ADA Dominick Carisi Jr. (Peter Scanavino) seeks Holmes’ help.

Since Wentworth Miller says he only interested in playing openly gay characters, the producers have acquiesced to his request to make the character come out off-screen, and is now an openly gay D.A.

USA TODAY, Nov 19, 2020

WASHINGTON – Sen. Lindsey Graham, a staunch ally of the president, is the target of an ethics complaint after his controversial phone call with a key election official in Georgia over how the state counts ballots.

Georgia’s Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger accused Graham earlier this week of pressuring him to find ways to exclude or invalidate legally cast absentee ballots and reverse Trump’s loss in the state, an accusation the South Carolina Republican called "ridiculous."

Graham said he had also spoken with Arizona's Republican Gov. Doug Ducey and was briefed about the process in Nevada, both swing states that helped Joe Biden beat President Donald Trump for the White House.

The senator's contact with other states over election counting efforts came as Trump and his campaign have lodged multiple lawsuits over baseless voter fraud allegations in a longshot attempt to overturn the election results.

A complaint filed Wednesday to the Senate Select Committee on Ethics asks the panel to investigate Graham's phone call with Raffensperger, whether Graham suggested not counting all legal votes and whether he had threatened election officials, who are in the midst of a recount, with a Senate investigation. The complaint was filed by Walter Shaub, a former top ethics watchdog for the federal government under President Barack Obama; Richard Painter, the top ethics lawyer under President George W. Bush; and Claire Finkelstein, who heads the University of Pennsylvania's Center for Ethics and the Rule of Law.

"If these allegations are true, Senator Graham's conduct constitutes an abuse of office and conduct unbecoming of a senator," the complaint states.

An underground swingers sex party was broken up overnight in Queens for violating pandemic gathering restrictions, the New York City Sheriff’s Office announced.

Caligula, which bills itself on Facebook as a “private upscale on premise swingers club” in Astoria, was caught hosting more than 80 people, bumping loud music and unlawfully serving alcohol, Sheriff Joseph Fucito said.

When sheriff deputies arrived, they found three couples having sex in a small room while others were gathered across the venue unlawfully drinking alcohol and socializing, according to the sheriff and pictures of the event.

Jennifer Hayes, 47, was the only attendee who was fined and given a summons for disorderly conduct.

I've noticed that many British actors seem to be much more thoughtful than American ones.

I look at people like Leo Dicaprio, who didn't even graduate from high school. Then you look at a British actor like Jamie Dornan (for example), who has some college, but is very well-spoken, and speaks intelligently about issues. Is it because American actors are so overpaid?

Name some dumb American actors, and impressive British actors.

WTF was that all about?

Do people in Britain still use 'smashing' to mean 'great'? If so, I bet it gets a lot of snickers from younger people, since now it means 'fucking'.

Oh, boy.

What is wrong with speaking to management about any issue, in the attempt to resolve something? Asking to speak to the manager has everything to do with how you deal with any contract issue at any business so you can resolve it easily. It is how problem resolution has always happened in commerce (or other sector government and non-profit). In fact, many sale associates and wait staff are not given the authority to do anything, only management has this authority. So you have to deal with a manager.

This has NOTHING to do with racism. I find it very odd, and disturbing that business (wall street) is trying to link asking to speak to the manager and racism in our society at all. It is more absurd that people are falling for it.

Wall Street has more influence over structure violence and public policy than individuals anyway. Wall Street is responsible for racism in our society. They are also responsible for poor customer service and horrible working conditions. Now, they are responsible for the spin on this.

Yes, I want to speak to the manager. Yes, you are a racist for using racism to get away with poor customer and labor treatment.

They're truly deplorable

I like a big ol blizzard with extra reece's peanut butter cups.

The thread about Ricky Schroder and the Pillow Guy bailing out the Oshkosh killer made me wonder how much lawlessness and disorder deplorables are willing to tolerate in furtherance of "defeating socialism."

How they would react if the Oklahoma City bombings occured this year and it was abundantly clear that one of theirs was behind it? If alive, Timothy McVeigh would be a deplorable today and would likely have been among the militia that plotted to kidnap the governor of Michigan (where he was from), the takeover of the state Capitol, the taking of hostages, and executions of public officials (the last two were revealed this last week, in case you blinked).

It's a crazy brew of nasty, unhinged people filled with all sorts of amorphous or specific grievances (black and brown people). Some have been prone to extreme violence and are OK with it, but can the rest of the MAGAts rationalize it or even attempt to?

A thread to discuss the entire hypothetical field. Candidates lining up: Trump, Don Jr., Pence, Pompeo, Haley, Cruz, Rubio, Cotton, Noem, Hogan, Hawley, Scott, Scott, Sasse, Christie, Abbott, DeSantis, Ducey, Ricketts. I would add Hurd to this list.

It seems to me most gays hate Gaga. Perhaps this is because she has actual talent and artistry, unlike some of the girls gay guys tend to get behind (Britney, Billie Eilish). Gays tend to like basic, untalented female music artists because they aren't a threat to them in some way. If they make basic music, like those two, even better.

Gaga is the little bitch who aimed for higher concepts and became a "try hard" according to some gay fans. Perhaps the real question is, what do gays have against ambition?

Agatha Christie has been subject to countless and continuing adaptations. That , in itself, is intriguing. But what is your favourite? For all the several attempts, I don’t think there is a consensus on the definitive adaptation.

On the poll i tried to include the most famous ones. Excluded the latest Murder on the Orient Express as I-think nobody liked it much.

My favorites are: And there were none (2015), Five Little Pigs (David Suchet), A Murcer is Announced (both tv versions are great), A Murder On Tne Orient Express (1974, for the scary intro and the boarding and Ingrid Bergman) and Evil Under the Sun (for Nicholas Clay’s bathing suit).

I'm not violating any pledge of journalistic confidentially in reporting this: 21 Republican Sens–in convos w/ colleagues, staff members, lobbyists, W. House aides–have repeatedly expressed extreme contempt for Trump & his fitness to be POTUS.

The 21 GOP Senators who have privately expressed their disdain for Trump are: Portman, Alexander, Sasse, Blunt, Collins, Murkowski, Cornyn, Thune, Romney, Braun, Young, Tim Scott, Rick Scott, Rubio, Grassley, Burr, Toomey, McSally, Moran, Roberts, Shelby.

With few exceptions, their craven public silence has helped enable Trump’s most grievous conduct—including undermining and discrediting the US the electoral system.

Congrats to the sexy Nick Jonas!

Harry Styles made history this week as the first ever male to grace the cover of Vogue’s December issue — and he did so in a periwinkle floor-length gown.

While many celebrated the cover as a joyful expression of male femininity, outspoken conservatives such as Candace Owens and Ben Shapiro tweeted their contempt for the magazine’s cover choice, with Owens pleading, “Bring back manly men.”

But speaking on her virtual Yahoo series The X Change Rate this week, host and aqua-haired drag queen personality Monét X Change objected to such shade.

“I just don’t understand why they immediately jump to the feminization of men being a negative thing,” she said during one segment of the episode. “Men being feminine is not the problem, men should be allowed to be feminine.”

Her guests, RuPaul’s Drag Race alum BenDeLaCreme and Jinkx Monsoon, also weighed in on the backlash. “If you were well-versed in the world of fashion, then you would know that it used to be masculine to dress in forms that we would now refer to as feminine,” said Monsoon. “[Conservative straight people] don’t have any concept of how gender expression has evolved throughout the generations… to be where we are now, where men are confined to suits.”

BenDeLaCreme added, “The flip side of making the kind of progress that we’re making is that we have to listen to these idiots comment on it,” noting that displays like the December Vogue cover are, “ultimately, what’s going to get us towards where we need to go.”

Monsoon referenced an Instagram post from activist and author, Alok Menon, who pointed out the differences between how Styles was generally received and how trans women of color are treated in the world: “Am I happy to see Harry be celebrated for openly flouting gendered fashion norms? Yes. Do trans femmes of color receive praise for doing the same thing every day? No.”

“We as the queer community, are allowed to feel both ways about it,” says Monsoon. “We’re allowed to be happy that this is happening and that someone of such prominence is breaking down gender boundaries and binaries in such a big way, and we’re also allowed to feel disappointed that it’s not a trans femme queer person of color on the cover of Vogue, because they have been breaking down these boundaries and binaries for a lot longer than Harry Styles has.”

It was awful. He tackled me and I fell to the ground, hitting my leg. It was bleeding really bad. I raised my hand and told the teacher I need to go to the nurse. Everyone stared at me and my bloody knee. I was so embarrassed. I really hated that class because numerous students would make fun of me and the teacher. They were so mean.

Sting is being accused of sexually assaulting a minor more than four decades ago, a new lawsuit shows. Through his attorney, he “categorically denies” the allegation.

The civil lawsuit, filed Wednesday in Arizona federal court and obtained by Yahoo Entertainment, alleges that the British singer (real name: Gordon Sumner) committed statutory rape by having sex with a 15-year-old “Jane Doe” after meeting at a Police concert in Scottsdale on May 14, 1979. He was 27 at the time. Sting, as well as his the Police bandmates and the group’s tour bookers, are being sued.

Juan Diego Botto from "Good Behavior" (with Michelle Dockery).

Foster Van Lear, a 16-year-old TikTok personality from Atlanta, has posted videos of himself kissing guy friends on the cheek. “Everyone is fluid and so men have become less hesitant about physical stuff,” he said.Devin Oktar Yalkin for The New York Times Connor Robinson, a 17-year-old British TikTok star with rosy cheeks and a budding six-pack, has built a large following by keeping his fans thirsty. Between the daily drip of shirtless dance routines and skits about his floppy hair, Mr. Robinson posts sexually suggestive curve balls that, he said, “break some barriers.”

In an eight-second video set to a lewd hip-hop track by the Weeknd, he and a fellow teenage boy, Elijah Finney, who calls himself Elijah Elliot, filmed themselves in a London hotel room, grinding against each other as if they’re about to engage in a passionate make-out session. The video ends with Mr. Robinson pushed against the tiled wall.

But as racy as the video is, fans are under no pretense that the two are in the throes of gay puppy love. Mr. Robinson and Mr. Finney identify as heterosexual, but as some TikTok influencers have discovered, man-on-man action is a surefire way to generate traffic. Uploaded in February, the video has gotten more than 2.2 million views and 31,000 comments (lots of fire and heart emojis).

“Normally, I do jokey dance videos and stuff like that, but it seems like things have kind of changed now,” Mr. Robinson said from his bedroom in Cumbria, England, which is painted forest green to stand out on TikTok. He estimates that 90 percent of his nearly one million followers are female. “Girls are attracted to two attractive guy TikTokers with massive followings showing a sexual side with each other,” he said.

Connor Robinson, left, a British TikTok star, posted this racy video with Elijah Elliot on his feed in February.   Gay and bi-curious male followers are welcome, too. “If watching my videos makes you happy and stuff, that’s cool,” he added. As devotees of TikTok’s young male stars know, Mr. Robinson’s hotel seduction video is veering toward becoming a modern-day cliché. The youth-oriented social media platform is rife with videos showing ostensibly heterosexual young men spooning in cuddle-puddle formation, cruising each other on the street while walking with their girlfriends, sharing a bed, going in for a kiss, admiring each other’s chiseled physiques and engaging in countless other homoerotic situations served up for humor and, ultimately, views.

Feigning gay as a form of clickbait is not limited to small-fry TikTok creators trying to grow their audience. Just look at the hard-partying Sway Boys, who made national headlines this summer for throwing raucous get-togethers at their 7,800-square-foot Bel Air estate in violation of Los Angeles’s coronavirus guidelines.Scrolling through the TikTok feeds of the group’s physically buff members can feel as if you’re witnessing what would happen if the boys of Tiger Beat spent an uninhibited summer in Fire Island Pines. There is a barrage of sweaty half-naked workouts, penis jokes, playful kisses and lollipop sharing.

Which will you be watching?

I don't have Netflix, so it'll have to be Walker. Anywho, Jensen Ackles talks "The Boys," and the similiarities between Dean Winchester, and his character on The Boys.

[quote] Jensen Ackles Reveals What Dean Winchester and His New 'The Boys' Character Have in Common

"Supernatural" came to an end last week, and if you're still having a hard time letting go of Dean Winchester following his (spoiler alert!) death, we have one piece of good news: Jensen Ackles' new character on "The Boys" has something in common with the badass hunter he played on the long-running CW series. Well, two things actually.

"Through no planning or work of my own devices, I somehow managed to end up with the same kind of boots for Soldier Boy that I wore as Dean Winchester," Ackles, who landed his role on "The Boys," which is executive produced by "Supernatural" creator Eric Kripke back in August, told Entertainment Weekly. "Different color, but same boot."

"And they'd given me a variety and I just immediately looked at them and I just kind of chuckled and I'm like, 'Well, I can tell you which ones I know work.' And they're like, 'Oh, which ones?' And I'm like, 'Those right there.' And they're like, 'Oh, do you have a pair?' And I'm like, 'Yeah, I do.' And they're like, 'Oh, well perfect.

Now, we don't know a ton about Season 3 of "The Boys" yet, but we do know a little bit about Soldier Boy, courtesy of Amazon Prime Video, who describes the character as "the original superhero," who fought in World War II and became "the first super celebrity, and a mainstay of American culture for decades."

Soldier Boy was a member of the team Payback in "The Boys" comics, created by writer Garth Ennis and artist Darick Robertson, and Kripke told Entertainment Weekly, Season 3 will explore "the history of that team and all the members in it."

In case you didn't catch the series finale of "Supernatural" last week, you can find out how it all ended for Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean right here.

For those who aren’t aware, Urban Dictionary defines “thirst trap” as “a sexy photograph or flirty message posted on social media for the intent of causing others to publicly profess their attraction. This is done not to actually respond or satisfy any of this attraction, but to feed the posters ego or need for attention.” This phenomenon has made its way onto the TikTok video-sharing platform in the form of 15- to 60-second videos, and even more specifically into the platform’s military subculture. And while the women seem to take the most heat for sharing “provocative” content, there certainly is no shortage of male service thirst trapping.

A soldier using the name John Bland, who goes by the handle @notohkayjohn on TikTok, is perhaps one of the most infamous military TikTok users. His account primarily features him partially dressed in uniform, staring off seductively while music plays in the background. In some of the more risqué posts, however, he can be seen suggestively grabbing his crotch or tugging at his underwear.

Bland has 5.1 million followers to date, but he’s not the only one who uses TikTok this way. A purported Marine Reservist, Garrett Nolan, who posts as @garett__nolan, shares similarly seductive TikTok videos. He boasts a whopping 6.3 million followers. There are an unknown number of service members across the platform in uniform thirsting, dancing, working out and sharing their life stories despite the late 2019 ban of the Chinese-made app by the Pentagon, Army and Navy. However, as it turns out, the ruling on TikTok stands that individual service members are technically free to use to the platform in non-work capacities. The ban only extends to formal military entities connected to a chain of command or formal military group, Army Col. Joe Buccino, spokesman for XVIII Airborne Corps told Military Times. “With regard to conduct on TikTok, it’s the same as conduct on any other platform,” he said. “The governing document is under regulation 600-20, which is understandably vague on this matter. However, Buccino notes, “A good way of thinking about this is if you would not say it in front of formation, you should not say it on social media.” The Army’s social media handbook in particular embraces a three-pronged approach when it comes to individual soldiers posting on social media in general: Think, type and post. “The U.S. Army defines online conduct as the use of electronic communications in an official or personal capacity that is consistent with U.S. Army Values and standards of conduct. It is important that all Soldiers know that once they have logged on to a social media platform, they still represent the U.S. Army,” the guide says. “Online misconduct is a term that describes unacceptable or improper behavior through the use of technology.” But whether or not “thirst trap” posts in uniform mark of a violation of that policy is, as of yet, unclear.

It looks like Adam Lambert has a new special someone in his life!

The 38-year-old Queen frontman and former American Idol contestant was spotted packing on the PDA with new boyfriend Oliver Gliese on Tuesday (November 17) during a trip to Tulum, Mexico.

The couple was seen sharing some cute kisses and having a playful afternoon at the beach. Adam went shirtless in a zebra-print swimsuit while Oliver wore a blue speedo.

After the photos start spreading online, Adam took to Instagram Stories to seemingly comment on the pics. "I love my Dad Bod," he captioned a video of himself in which he used a filter to distort his face.

Oliver is the Innovation Forum Assistant for Global Fashion Agenda, where he supports the global partnerships team with the operation of the Innovation Forum during the Copenhagen Fashion Summit.

Adam was most recently linked to Javi Costa Polo, though it's unclear when they split.

Alicia Vikander has signed on to star in a new version of Dial M For Murder.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the 32-year-old Oscar winner is expected to star in the television anthology drama and also executive produce.

This version of Dial M for Murder would be an anthology series that will reset each season, and it is a new take on the 1952 play and 1954 film which will be told from the female perspective.

In the 1954 movie, ex-tennis pro Tony Wendice wants to have his wealthy wife, Margot, murdered so he can get his hands on her inheritance. When he discovers her affair with Mark Halliday, he comes up with the perfect plan to kill her.

Alicia has been attached to a ton of new projects this year, despite the pandemic looming over the world.

She has a movie with John David Washington that will debut on Netflix, and her flick with Justin Chon just got a release date too!

Just recently, Alicia and her husband, Michael Fassbender, were spotted out in a rare sighting in this international city!

For me is clear that Henry (we all know which one) has born to play that role.

I mean some say Tom Hiddleston (who has always looks kind of gross and raped to me I don’t know why) or Tom Hardy, who bored me as fuck and apparently is a crazy asshole. There are lots of other names in this article but I would be surprised if they don’t cast one of this three.

Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello were staples in our newsfeeds back in the early days of the quarantine—taking long walks together and performing music on Instagram Live.

But in recent months they've been keeping a pretty low profile to the point that some wondered whether they were even still a couple. Rest easy, fans. They are, though Mendes said in a new interview with Sirius XM the two haven't seen each other in a while.

“I haven't seen her actually in, like, a month and two weeks, not that I'm counting,” he said, according to Elle. “She's back really soon, and I think it's interesting ’cause when your girlfriend is an insanely talented, real musician who writes her own music, it's scary to write an album around her. And she was with me when I was kind of in the studio doing it. I realized the trick is, like, show her the really rough demo version from your phone that you recorded, and if she doesn't like that, she'll tell you. Then don't wait to show her the mixed finished product. Because if she doesn't like it then, then you're kind of, I don't know what to say to you. I'm sorry.” (Mendes's new album, Wonder, comes out in December.)

Mendes also offered some insight into that very slow walk the couple took that had the internet cracking up.

“There's this one video of Camila and I, and we're, like, walking down the street really slow. We almost look like zombies from The Walking Dead,” he said. “And we're, like, really…and everyone's like, 'What the heck is going on with them? Are they on drugs?' And I was like, it's funny ’cause in that moment we were just pretty overwhelmed by the world. And we were like, 'Oh, man. This is a really hard time. This is scary for everyone.' And you know, we were just like, 'Let's just walk slow and kind of just meditate and be chill.’

“It was this really peaceful moment between us, but it's just so funny to see that, watching that video back,” he continued. “We were dying laughing because we literally looked like zombies.”

Cabello also had her boyfriend on her mind this week, gushing over his new music.

Dancing used to be a huge thing. It was present at almost all social events, it was the way you found people to hook up with, it was the way you impressed others. Dancing was as basic a skill as cursive, almost everybody knew how to dance and did it often. Eventually dancing became "embarassing" and people rarely did it (I think it has to do with how repressing your emotions and not publicly displaying joy became "cool)), but this especially happened in white culture. Dancing is still a prevalent thing in black culture, it's still second nature and is still the way you get dates, impress people, etc etc. My question is, why is it that white people have done away with dancing for the most part in their culture while black people haven't? And what made white culture get rid of it that didn't but didn't affect black culture?

Read this portrait of Murray Moss, who closed his iconic shop and moved to Connecticut. I love the house! I find it fascinating where people move after years of living in NYC, usually it’s somewhere with more space.

I'll start us off with the David, just to give the art historians among us something to start from. I love statues. Especially photographing them. I admire sculpture so much. Blows my mind, really. Anyway, I went to Italy one summer and it's such an erotic country. All those statues and their beautiful bodies kept me in a constant state of arousal, as did some of the men, and the pizza, and the Arno. Anyway, uhhhhhhh, hot statues please!

I'm watching "An American in Paris" and holy shit I can't stand Gene Kelly. "Singin' in the Rain" has been one of my favorite movies since I was young, but it just occurred to me he plays an obnoxious jerk in both. However, I find he lacks the charisma or looks to come across as anything but a smarmy asshole. His voice, his looks, his singing, his dancing...none of it does anything for me.

He should be DL's mascot!

This might be the most impressive thing I've watched this year. Beautiful!

Has anyone ever had this? It's a fucking nightmare. The reward system in my brain is broken and I can't feel pleasure. I can't laugh. I can't enjoy music - it's like listening to white noise. I'm underweight, because eating is more of a reflex than anything. Drinking alcohol is fairly pointless. No interest in sex or romance. I can find books and TV engaging but not enjoyable, if that makes sense - i.e. something can interest me but I don't feel any positive emotions. I'm pretty sure I got it from an SSRI I took a few years ago. Doctors have put me on Wellbutrin and Pramipexole at different times but neither of them worked.

Can Lee Daniels and Mo'Nique be far behind?

One of the main segments of the show that many will be itching to see is the meeting between Smith and the original Aunt Vivian played by Hubert — and it is a good meeting that will take you on a whole other journey.

Hubert exited Fresh Prince of Bel-Air after three seasons and was replaced by Reid. As a result, there was a very public feud between Smith and Hubert that continued for almost 30 years.

“For me, it felt like I couldn’t celebrate 30 years of Fresh Prince without finding a way to celebrate Janet,” said Smith.

But what would this reunion be like? Will be more of a catty Real Housewives reunion? Or more of an Oprah Winfrey Show moment? Luckily, it was the latter.

“Been a long time,” Hubert greeted Smith as they met one-one on the set.

Hubert was the “OG Aunt Vivian”. She said she never saw anyone that looked like her that played a role like Aunt Viv. A dark-skinned Black woman who was regal, a good mother, role model, professional and as Hubert put it, could throw down. Hollywood never looked to an actress like Hubert to fill that type of role so in that sense, Hubert was a trailblazer. She was definitely a favorite when the series launched. She could act, sing and dance (remember that iconic dance she did to C+C Music Factory’s “Everybody Dance Now”?) But then after season 3, she left, disrupting the show and this special was an opportunity for the two to hash things out.

“This has been tough,” Hubert told Smith at the start of this very candid conversation. “I just wanted to know one thing: why did you guys go so far? I lost so much.”

Smith responded that he didn’t know her story.

“You have no idea,” she said. Hubert went on to clarify that during the third season when she got pregnant, there was a lot going on in her life and in Smith’s life which caused the friction between the two. “I was no longer laughing, joking smiling because there were things going on that nobody knew about.”

Smith admits that during her pregnancy that he wasn’t sensitive to Hubert, but now that he has matured he wishes he would have done things differently. “I can see where I made the set very difficult for Janet,” he said.

Earlier in the pandemic I tuned out the news as all it did was depress me, but now that a vaccine is on the horizon while a surge in cases is simultaneously happening (and we're apparently entering our second wave), I want to start paying attention to COVID news again. So, my question is what should I pay attention to. What news source (CNN, NBC, Washington Post, etc etc) is the best for COVID news and COVID updates? Or, what do YOU pay attention to to keep track of COVID?

Just what we needed during the pandemic: A show about obnoxious, self-important investment bankers and stilted conversations that would never take place in the real world. In case you think I'm being harsh, the New York Times also hated it. Lens directed. At least she didn't write this pile of dung. I gave it ten minutes and that was all I could take. Other opinions?

The reviews aren't good, but the first episode has the best clothes and sets I've seen all year (much more beautiful than even Murphy's own "Hollywood"), and it's hard not to watch any show that has an extended scene of Corey Stoll in boxers and a wife-beater.

The underscoring Herrmann music from "Vertigo" actually works beautifully so far (one episode in).

Paramount Network has an LGBTQ+ holiday film coming soon!

The network just announced the movie Dashing in December, which was produced by MTV Studios under its new original movies’ division.

The movie stars Fuller House's Juan Pablo Di Pace, Baby Daddy's Peter Porte, and Golden Globe nominee Andie MacDowell. It will premiere on Paramount Network on Sunday, December 13 with simulcasts on Logo, Pop and TV Land.

Dashing in December follows Wyatt (Porte), a sophisticated, New York City financier who returns home for the holidays in an effort to convince his mother, Deb (MacDowell) to sell the family’s ranch and beloved magical Winter Wonderland attraction. In the midst of his mission, an unexpected romance ignites with the new ranch hand Heath (Di Pace) reawakening the spirit of Christmas.

“This feel good project captures the importance of inclusive storytelling, the power of love and the spirit of the holidays all rolled into one,” said Meghan Hooper, EVP, Head of Original Movies and Limited Series.

Let's face it, Madonna has done everything to piss on her legacy as Queen of Pop. I say this as a fan of Madonna's since 1983. The last few years have been painful.

I've always thought of Kylie as the Princess of Pop (although I guess one could argue Britney takes that title).

But, Kylie is now deserving of the title of Queen of Pop. She cares about her fans. She seems to enjoy herself. Her music is still fun and it's uniting people during a time like this. That's what the Queen of Pop SHOULD do.

Um excuse me, Bitch! Isn’t this the same fucking slut who willingly got gangbang’d by 7 guys in High School and giggled about it, while also revealing their cock sizes.

These pairings may never happen, but you'd like to see it anyway.

I'd go first with Zeb Atlas and Chris Rockway. I think both are retired now, but I always wanted to see them do a video together.

On a whim I baked a cake from a boxed mix and with canned frosting this weekend. I haven't done that in years and years. I was a child of the 70s: "fancy" bakery cakes were for special occasions only, so my mother would make cakes from mixes regularly.

It was quite disappointing. The frosting is super sweet, and the cake itself is a nice texture. But it tastes like packing material. Really, a big nothing.

Thoughts, DL?

Datalounge detectives, please solve this case....

If media coverage has you screaming MARY!!! this week, remember that Trump has zero respect for the office of the presidency and to him, losing the election is like having the local zoning board tell him he can't build a hotel on the property he just bought.

Meaning he will go to any extreme necessary to get the zoning board to overturn their decision because it's just a zoning board and sometimes fear and intimidation can get Trump what he wants, ditto filing hundreds of lawsuits that they are in no position to defend.

Fortunately the Federal election system is not a local zoning board, but remember that Trump is too dumb to realize that or have any sort of Grand Scheme in place beyond using any means necessary to win, he has not thought through what would happen if he did win, he has not thought through the negative impact claiming "elections are rigged" has on voter turnout among his base during the Georgia runoffs and beyond, or on the election system in general.

At some point he will declare that disloyal Republican judges (possibly even disloyal Republican Supreme Court justices) and incompetent Republican politicians cost him the election that he really won, fly off to Mar A Lago and continue raising money for 2024, because he's figured out he can raise millions from the winged monkeys this way and never have to return a dime of it.

Happy Thanksgiving

April 25, 2018 marks the 16th anniversary of the death of Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes, a founding member (and arguably the most talented) of the Hip-Hop phenomenon "TLC." She was only 30-years old when she died.

Mentally, emotionally, and physically exhausted of the turmoil associated with the industry that brought her talent to the mainstream, she and her cousins drove from Atlanta, GA to Honduras, SA to find much need respite.

In addition to footage of her and her family enjoying the natural beauty of Honduras, it also contains footage of her accidentally killing a local Honduras boy; he ran into the street the moment the vehicle she was driving crossed his path. Remorseful, she visits the boy's family, learning the family's last name is "Lopez." Upon learning this fact, she looks into the camera, saying, "A spirit has been chasing me for a long time; it accidentally took him instead of me."

Of the five other passengers in her vehicle at the time of her fatal car accident, she was the only one who wore a seatbelt.

It's about time. His lawsuits and multiple requests for recounts are nothing but voter suppression.

Do you know where your lover is right now?

It’s been a couple years since I watched it and it’s much more narratively flawed then I remember. It seems like huge portions of the second and third segments were probably left on the editing floor - imaginable since this was Allen’s answer to Bergman’s five hour Fanny and Alexander. Despite being the title character, Farrow’s Hannah never seems to become three dimensional. Hershey’s Lee is sort of abandoned by the end despite being the most interesting character in the first half of the movie, it seems as if Weist’s Holly begins to dominate the storyline at Lee’s expense. Michael Caine’s character is so loathesome and definitely did not deserve the Oscar, especially since most of the acting is done in voiceover. If Max von Sydow had another scene in the movie, he probably would had been the nominee and won.

Still I’m always completely charmed by this movie’s timeless, mid-eighties New York, filmed in cool blues and grays like a Scandinavian film, and set against the eclectic soundtrack of baroque chamber music and big band jazz. The interiors done inside Farrow’s real Central Park West apartment also really anchor the film with a kind of realism not usually found in Allen’s apartment porn-y films.

Any other recollections of this film? I know it’s usually the most loved of Allen’s films among the DL crowd.

I've cranked up the A/C, put on a wool sweater, made some hot chocolate, and now I'm cradling it in my hands, dreaming up some hearty dishes for the impending cold weather.

Please share your favorite comfort foods, and recipes, if you have any!

First episode premiered on Sunday. It seems obvious the husband did it but the plot twist at the end with the pyramid scheme sounds interesting. Frau on frau crime or deadly divorce murder? And the son (the director)is SMOKING hot!

Along the lines of the dvd thread, what are you all doing with your photos? Do you back them up on a hard drive or to a cloud service? If you've digitized old photos, do you keep the originals or throw them out?

This could have been a spin off of A Streetcar Named Desire, in the 50s. A sitcom like Our Miss Brooks, but a little darker.

Anyway, Blanche's occupation was teaching English. What do you think Blanche would have been like, teaching high school English? She actually does remind me of some English teachers I've known. Other than seducing underage boys, do you think she was a good role model? Can you picture her in the Teacher's Lounge with the rest of the faculty, having a cig or eating cottage cheese and a baloney sandwich for lunch? What did she do on her summer vacations? Did she coach a sport? What were her favorite authors and poets? Did she regale the class with stories of her days at Belle Reve?

We begin with the iconic "Revenge Dress". Di wore it the same evening Prince Charles confessed to adultery with Camilla Parker-Bowles. Designer Christina Stambolian revealed that the dress had actually been made for Diana three years prior to its first appearance in the spotlight. At the time, the princess had been too nervous to wear it because she claimed it was “too daring.”

In fact, Diana had initially planned on wearing a Valentino dress until her outfit of choice was released to the press ahead of the event, according to reports from the Telegraph. Instead, she made a last-minute switch and opted for the “daring” Stambolian black dress. Anna Harvey, her former stylist, said that she wanted to “look like a million dollars” that night. If the dress was Diana’s small act of revenge, she sure did look like a million bucks doing it.

I can't believe it took me so long to make the connection. I've been scratching my head wondering about the nature of Sam's appeal to the mass audience. All that moping and screeching, and that dreadful Bond song. I was particularly intrigued that "Stay With Me" gets recurrent play on the adult R&B radio station.

Now I've got it! All of that naked longing, sorrow, sadness and unrequited love is how the public is conditioned to hear gay men -- courtesy of Luther Vandross. Luther was not openly gay but even his most ardent female fans knew he was gay. Sam Smith has jumped right into the space created by Luther albeit with greater mainstream appeal (because he is white).

There, I've figured it all out.

Why isn't he a DL fav???

Just in time for Thanksgiving, cable tv is once again having mass airings. Ive seen it a hundred times like most, but for the first time in a long time, I actually WATCHED it. I really is a masterpiece in film making. The sets, the costumes, the songs, the special effects, the performances. It really is an iconic movie. Its even harder to believe its over 80 years old and still holds up against modern films.

I'm trying a pair of most and least talented polls here. In your opinion, which Friends star brought the most to the series, in terms of comedy and character?

I doubt it.

This actress is A list through and through. She has achieved about the most success an actress can receive. Money, fame and awards. She wanted to be the world's sweetheart, but if they knew how she got to her lofty position they would be rethinking their judgment.

When Backstabber came to Hollywood she thought she was hot and that she could make it on her looks. Back home she was always the prettiest and she figured she would be here too. Nope. Not even close. She was smart enough to figure that out and also learned about the casting couch really quickly. Her first roles were secured via the casting couch and also led her to do some things she has never done since on film. It is true that she has attempted to buy some of those earlier films and then make sure no new copies are ever released.

In one of her casting couch experiences she met a mentor who has guided her almost every step of the way. Although they stopped sleeping together after six months when Backstabber threatened to tell his wife, they have been good friends ever since and Backstabber makes sure to send over some young actresses she runs into looking for a break to his office to keep him happy.

It came to Backstabber's attention that there was a role which would be perfect for her but the lead had been promised to someone else. Another actress who had very similar qualities and beat out Backstabber for a career defining role and made her white hot. Destined for A list (and still with great name recognition, but not Crash & Burn from yesterday), she made a few more movies and now has one bomb after another on television and in movies. Backstabber started whispering in ears that this actress had a drug problem and could not be relied on. She told everyone she could about the drugs and booze and erratic behavior. None of it was true, but what was a shoo in for the actress and her spot as the actress to watch disappeared in a flash and went to Backstabber.

This is where it gets interesting. On the set, Backstabber met her soon to be husband, but he was already having sex with two of the other still B list co-stars and would have laughed if you told him what Backstabber had in mind. Aside from the casting couch, Backstabber was not and is not a sexual person. She does it out of duty. For this guy though, she knew that would not work. She seduced and teased and the next thing you know, the guy had left the other two co-stars in the dust and was on his knee in a second trying to marry Backstabber. To be the world's sweetheart you needed a husband. Mission accomplished. The only misfire Backstabber had was that her husband would chat in a second and with Backstabber only having sex with him once a month at the most, he would go wandering and straying. She did not mind when he was quiet about it, but after she paid for the third abortion for him, he was out the door.

While they were married, Backstabber continued to climb the Hollywood ladder. Drug accusations here, sending over some of her "friends" from back home to spend the night with a studio executive. To get the ultimate prize, she actually did have sex with a few people who could make or break things for her. She has no actress friends left in Hollywood because she has talked smack about everyone of them. She works for charities but only because it is expected. She has said privately that she keeps every penny she has ever made and that she is not going to give her money to a bunch of broke people or the N word on the street. Oh yeah, she is racist. Probably more so than anyone at a KKK rally. Movies with black people? Not if she can help it. Earlier in her career she could not control it. Now? Casting approval. No black people. Other minorities? No thank you. If she sees you drinking she will try and have you fired. Swearing? She better not hear you. Yeah, so it was a real treat when she had to work with a guy who dropped F bombs every five seconds and had a string of hookers and booze in his trailer the whole shoot. You can see her grimacing the entire movie.

And especially in a few years if he starts working out. Yum! And he’s just a victim of bad parenting. Sure he was wrong, but he shouldn’t have his life ruined.

You otherwise didn't care for them at all.

Hypocritical Prince Harry Vows That Netflix Will Never Depict Him In The Crown

Because it's my birthday today. You're welcome

normal?

First off, I’m writing this so that all of you who believe in prayer, to please pray for him.

He’s a wonderful and amazing older gentleman. He’s a good guy, and he has some respiratory issues, so please pray for him, please. The rest of us agnostics and atheists can send him good thoughts for a speedy recovery.

Thanks so much. I mean that sincerely.

We just found out last night.

My stepfather is also a good person who has unfortunately, fallen into the miasma of FOX News, and he’s been a staunch Trump supporter, and I have already judged the ever loving crap out of him for this, however, I have chosen to not continue to do so, because moving forward is best not only for our country, but individual households and families, such as mine.

People make mistakes. Horrible mistakes sometimes, and they can be wrong, even when all evidence is flying in their face at 100 mph, telling them that perhaps they’re not right.

He has been exposed to the virus, because he has been around his best friend in the last week. He doesn’t wear masks whenever he doesn’t have to, and quite frankly, I’m surprised he hasn’t been infected previously, which he may have. Who knows?

He’s getting tested this week. Hopefully, he’s OK.

I’ve had a sore throat all weekend and while it hasn’t been horrible, it’s a sore throat, nevertheless, so I am making plans for testing as well, since I live with my mom and stepfather. Wearing a mask will become something I also will have to do inside the house, rather than just outside, because it’s the only way to go, so it seems. I wanted to do so previously, yet chose not to because I figured it would cause more trouble than it’s worth, being that my parents both had a very erratic reaction to my telling them that a former coworker whom I’d been in contact with, died of COVID, back in late March. I just didn’t want to upset them again and make them angry at me. I understand it makes zero sense to the rest of us who use logic and reason to approach these matters, however, it makes sense when you’re living with two hardcore Trump supporters who are addicted to hate and divisive driven news on FOX, and who see CoViD-19 as a personal failure on the infected person’s part, due to not having enough faith in God and becoming infected due to lack of faith and fear instilled by the “enemy” or Satan.

I know that this is a highly contagious virus, and I have researched the living heck out of it and understand as much as there is to be understood about it, at this time, so shame on me for not wearing a mask at home, while living with people who believe that a higher power will grant them immunity, while not granting it to their friends who are becoming infected or dying, like my stepfather’s other friend who just died from CoViD and who’s funeral he attended this weekend.

Anyhow, I needed to vent and tell some rational and normal people who won’t scream at me for being concerned and even scared.

Thanks for listening. Well, reading. Lol. Love u bitches, as always.

Or was the news just not covering it and focusing on the election?

Yesterday's 60 Minutes story on the COVID Long Haulers was terrifying.

Most are young healthy people in their 20's and 30's who barely had COVID symptoms. And then, after COVID was over, continue to have balance, memory, strength, vision problems for months and months.

Scary as hell

They seem to be complicated to grow, which surprises me.

If a young hot white bro asked a female presenter if he gets to do the same to her would it go over well? Even if she asked first?

The #UK's main opposition Labour party has suspended its former leader Jeremy #Corbyn, after a government watchdog found his office broke equality law through its "inexcusable" handling of anti-Semitism complaints

President Trump asked senior advisers in an Oval Office meeting on Thursday whether he had options to take action against Iran’s main nuclear site in the coming weeks. The meeting occurred a day after international inspectors reported a significant increase in the country’s stockpile of nuclear material, four current and former U.S. officials said on Monday.

A range of senior advisers dissuaded the president from moving ahead with a military strike. The advisers — including Vice President Mike Pence; Secretary of State Mike Pompeo; Christopher C. Miller, the acting defense secretary; and Gen. Mark A. Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff — warned that a strike against Iran’s facilities could easily escalate into a broader conflict in the last weeks of Mr. Trump’s presidency.

Any strike — whether by missile or cyber — would almost certainly be focused on Natanz, where the International Atomic Energy Agency reported on Wednesday that Iran’s uranium stockpile was now 12 times larger than permitted under the nuclear accord that Mr. Trump abandoned in 2018. The agency also noted that Iran had not allowed it access to another suspected site where there was evidence of past nuclear activity.

Mr. Trump asked his top national security aides what options were available and how to respond, officials said.

After Mr. Pompeo and General Milley described the potential risks of military escalation, officials left the meeting believing a missile attack inside Iran was off the table, according to administration officials with knowledge of the meeting.

Mr. Trump might still be looking at ways to strike Iranian assets and allies, including militias in Iraq, officials said. A smaller group of national security aides had met late Wednesday to discuss Iran, the day before the meeting with the president.

That's why they can't get a woman: the females sense something amiss.

I legit had no idea he had such a nice 🍑

(this was apparently from the 2004 VMAs)

I knew that they had dated for a few years back in the late 1960s, but I was surprised to come across an old interview with Mastroianni from 1987 in which he said she was basically the love of his life and the one that got away. Apparently she wanted to marry him and have children, but he would not divorce his wife even though they had already been more or less separated for a number of years, and Dunaway eventually got tired of waiting and moved on. It surprised me because she seemed more abrasive than some of the other women he dated, and yet more than 20 years after they broke up he still viewed her as the one. He never did get a divorce from his first wife at any point, but they were only really married on paper, and over the years he became quite open about other women he dated like Catherine Deneuve (with whom he had a daughter just a couple of years after he and Dunaway split). I wonder if Dunaway had any regrets later on about the way things worked out.

😂

She's a convicted murderer, you know.

Curtis Roy Boettcher -- Producer of Along Comes Mary (The Association, written with fellow gay Tandyn Almer) -- He is a known colleague of Brian Wilson in the '60s and worked on disco records with The Beach Boys (Here Comes The Night). He had a wife and child but is long known to have been gay. He, later on, was a DJ for numerous discos and gay clubs. Worked at a gay bar serving drinks called The Hayloft in Studio City, CA in the latter 70's early 80s. He started in folk and ended up being one of the most innovative, psychedelic 'sunshine pop' producers. He is known as the king of Sunshine Pop. He collaborated with Gary Usher on a project known as Sagittarius in the mid to late 60s. Afterwards formed the group The Millennium, which it's album 'Begin' is one of the greatest 60s albums of all time.

Any Californian eldergays know anything fresh about him? He was known by many compared to other obscure gay music legends. Produced strange stuff towards the end of his career. He died of a lung infection and was HIV positive at the time of his death. A best friend of mine and I are obsessed with this talent, and we are hoping to bring more of his story to light, no matter how NSFW or debatable it gets.

OK, call me a fat whore (I may be one, but I'm not both) but why is there such outrage about gyms closing? Think of all the touch points that serve as vectors? Is working out really such a performative act? Can't you do a lot of exercises at home? How about 200 jumping jacks? They're supposed to be the best workout anyway.

The anger and newsworthiness of gyms closing tells me something else is going on. I know a lot of people across all age groups and those who go to gyms are in the minority. You don't see people at bars, restaurants, shops, barbers, etc. screaming at inspectors. Interesting piece of this craziness.

I don't remember this tv show? Was Zooey Deschanel was a big star after it? Who watched it?

This looks good! And Michiel Huisman is so beautiful.

Too bad it’s on HBO Max so no one will see it.

Growing up, when did your family sit down to Thanksgiving dinner? Do you still observe the same time as an adult, or have you changed?

I don’t know whether it’s a class or regional thing, but for my blue-collar western PA family, Thanksgiving was a midday meal. We only lived seven miles from my grandparents’ house, so each year would involve going to their house fairly early in the morning so my mother could help with the cooking, sitting around with my younger uncles watching the whole Macy’s parade while the turkey roasted, eating in the early afternoon, then spending a few hours playing outside with my cousins.

I still serve Thanksgiving at mid-day. I’d rather not be cleaning dishes and dealing with a turkey carcass long into the night.

I'm 39, so it looks like she's a little before my time. Not that that's an excuse -- of course I know of artists and performers who were popular before I was born -- but she certainly wasn't a household name when I was growing up in the 80s and 90s. A friend in his 50s posted this video on his Instagram today and it took me down a Lola Falana rabbit hole. A powerful voice, a beautiful body, a sensual and powerful dancer and charisma out the tooter. That said, a lot of the material I saw her performing was rather... trite. Very dated, Vegas strip variety shows of the 60s-70s. Is that why you think she perhaps didn't have greater longevity?

Did anyone see her on Broadway? Her powerful presence and beautiful movement make me think she'd have been fabulous in Chicago (or any Fosse work, for that matter.)

Also had a crush on Ed Harris lmaooo.

It gave us Jena Malone, who I hated until I saw in The Hunger Games sequels. I thought she was the best part of those films, even with a small role in both Mockingjay movies.

I get she was 14/15 in the ads, but she isn’t doing anything inappropriate. I remember some parents being upset by these commercials at the time, but even then I never got why they were an issue.

PS she was such a beautiful young woman. It’s weird how her face shape changed so much as she got older. Her soft jaw became wider and more masculine. She had such gentle, feminine features and then became masculine. Odd.

Singer-songwriter Teddy Geiger has announced he is transitioning.

The 29-year-old revealed the news in an Instagram post on Friday morning in response to a fan who had asked, “why do you look different lately?”

The image featured Geiger’s reply, which said, “Okay… because u asked nicely… I am transitioning. I started talking about it with a couple of my close friends and family about a month ago and it’s given me the courage to start the process. I feel like the next step is to tell all y’all. So here goes.”

“Love it or hate this is who I have been for a looooong time. I love u guys. Talk sooooon byeeee,” Geiger added.

The singer first came to prominence in 2004, appearing on VH1’s reality series “In Search of the Partridge Family”. In 2006 he released the album “Underage Thinking” and the hit song “For You I Will (Confidence)”.

More recently, Geiger has been known as a songwriter, writing the words to One Direction’s “Where Do Broken Hearts Go”, and several songs for Shawn Mendes, including “Treat You Better”, “Stitches” and “Mercy”.

As a Bon Appetit fan, I've been following the the forced resignation of its creepy Editor-in-Chief, Adam Rapoport, after a photo of his Halloween cosplay as a Hispanic street tough appeared. Massive pay disparities between white staffers and people of color also were uncovered and are reportedly being addressed. Yesterday, the magazine published a statement of intent to revise and delete recipes and articles that were insufficiently respectful of ethnic cuisine or failed to acknowledge the recipe's ethnic origins or used white experts on a country's cooking in place of those with ethnic ties. I'm struggling with this. I can understand the importance of locating people of color as experts and of educating an audience on how a take on a particular dish varies from the original. What I don't understand is branding interpretations and simplifications of an ethnic dish as disrespectful and inherently inferior to an ethnic dish that may have 10 more steps and ingredients that are next to impossible to find. I don't see what's wrong with an adaptation of pho or curry or tagine, particularly if it tastes delicious. I realize this is called "columbusing" and "applying a white gaze" to ethnic food but I see nothing wrong with this. When I read that BA's recipes are being contextualized, I think my days there are numbered. You?

The gang has bought a soccer club.

You may have never heard of Wrexham AFC, but you might do soon.

Actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney moved a step closer to becoming investors in the Welsh soccer team — one of the world’s oldest professional soccer clubs and currently playing in English soccer’s fifth tier — after their takeover bid was overwhelmingly approved by the club’s board.

The Wrexham Supporters Trust Board, which currently owns the club, voted in favor of the deal that would see the celebrity duo take complete ownership of the club.

The bid is still subject to final agreement and official confirmation from governing bodies, but the stars have said they already have lofty ambitions to turn Wrexham into a “global force.”

Reynolds, known for appearing in blockbusters such as “Deadpool,” and McElhenney, co-creator and star in US sitcom “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia,” first expressed their interest in a takeover back in September.

Last week they said they wanted to develop the squad, get the club back into the English Football League (EFL) and make a difference to the wider community.

A club statement had previously confirmed that the potential investors, who were then unknown, would immediately invest around $2.5 million.

“As Wrexham supporters, we would like to wish them the very best of luck in charge of our Football Club and look forward to what the future brings,” read a Trust statement on Monday.

Both men reacted to the news with a message on Twitter.

“Wrexham Is The Name,” they wrote in identical posts.

The pair also created a comical video in which they promoted the club’s kit sponsor, Ifor Williams Trailers.

“You may never have heard of Wrexham, The Racecourse Ground or Ifor Williams, but you will. So to the Wrexham Supporters Trust, thank you for your faith and trust in us,” McElhenney said.

To which Reynolds added: “We are humbled and we are already getting to work. Is this really happening?”

CUNT

There is a pig at work who is the biggest Cunt I’ve ever met. She’s a little fat and wears ill-fitting clothes. The worst thing she’s ever done was manage to get a new gay fired for talking about his weekend hookup at lunch in PG-13 details, even though she has regaled the lunch group with details of her husband’s penis size and many other sexual details. I think she’s a homophobe and fucking the boss.

This review brands it “possibly the worst movie I’ve seen in years”!

Have you noticed that?

The reason why ratings on almost every televised event is down, is because there is no audience.

Sports, debates, entertainment awards shows.... all of it.

Networks are trying to resume life as normal, but with "social distancing" and no audience, but they have failed to realize that the audience is what actually makes an event exciting.

Whether it's the roar of the crowd at a football game, or the jeers at a debate, or the oohs and ahhhs at an awards ceremony.

You need an audience.

Without it, you have nothing.

Life will not get back to normal, until people can get together again.

The Hollywood Studio Club was a chaperoned dormitory, sometimes referred to as a sorority, for young women interested in becoming actresses or work in film from 1916 to 1975.

It was run by the YWCA and originally formed in association by the same Central Casting bureau that still exists today, as a safe space for women since so many from out-of-state were being assaulted on set by directors and crew members.

Residents included Marilyn Monroe (twice), Kim Novak, Sharon Tate, Donna Reed, Rita Moreno, Ayn Rand, Barbara Eden, Linda Darnell, Ann B. Davis, Barbara Hale, Nancy Kwan, Maureen O'Sullivan, and Sally Struthers.

Trump won both Nassau and Suffolk counties -- 50% and 56%, respectively. Rockland was the other suburban county (55% but lots of Orthodox Jews)

But Westchester went for Biden with 64% , CT towns- Greenwich (64%), Westport (74%), New Canaan (59%), Darien (61%) -- all for Biden [NYT does not break up CT by county]

And Biden swept NJ too-- Bergen (58%), Essex (77%), Union (73%), Morris (56%) Middlesex (66%) and even Monmouth (50%--Jersey Shore)

I had not realized Long Island was so much more Republican than any of the other suburbs.

Kelly Dodd‘s brother Eric Meza revealed that their mother, Bobbi Meza, has contracted COVID following the reality star’s controversial comments about the pandemic.

Eric posted a photo via Instagram on Saturday, November 21, that read, “Prayers for my mother. She has COVID19.” He captioned the photo, “Prayers needed for my mother. Thank you. She is in ICU.”

Dodd, 45, commented on the post, “Mom has me blocked! Jr said she’s not in ICU,” in reference to her other brother, JR Meza. The comment has since been deleted.

The Real Housewives of Orange County star faced backlash in April when she claimed that the pandemic is “Gods way of thinning the herd,” adding that those who have died from the disease “would’ve died this year” because “they were compromised” anyway.

“Do you know how many people died from the h1n1 the swine flu or SARS ?? It’s 25% get your facts straight you are only hearing the numbers not the reality !!” she tweeted at the time. “If you are vulnerable or compromised stay inside if you don’t protect others by wearing masks and gloves keep your distance and don’t go out if you are ill !! It’s common sense!”

Later that day, she issued a public apology in a series of videos on her Instagram Stories. “When I wrote that it’s ‘God’s way of thinning the herd,’ that’s not what I meant,” she explained. “What I meant was, ‘Do these pandemics happen because it’s God’s way?’ I’m not God. I’m not insensitive. I feel bad for all the families that have lost loved ones, and I do think we should all stay at home and protect everybody. That’s not what I meant, and I want to apologize to anyone who got offended, OK? I’m sorry.”

One month later, Dodd came under fire again when she posted about the reopening of restaurants in her hometown. The Bravo personality shared a video of herself dining with her mom and her 14-year-old daughter Jolie, whom she shares with ex-husband Michael Dodd.

“Yay, we finally get to have a meal out,” Dodd said in the clip. “Yay, no one is wearing a mask. I love it. Yay!”

Her time is over and the guy is way too queeny.

Looks like Prince Harry and Meghan Markle aren't planning to return to their residence in the United Kingdom anytime soon, because Princess Eugenie and her husband Jack Brooksbank have reportedly moved in.

The Sun reports that Meghan and Harry's belongings were moved out of Frogmore Cottage in "the dead of night," and that—while it technically remains the Sussexes’ residence—Eugenie and Jack moved in about two weeks ago. As for Meghan and Harry's belongings, they were reportedly sent to the couple's new home in California.

[quote] “Removal vans pitched up in the dead of the night and cleared out the cottage. They definitely did not want to be seen," a source said. "Emptying their home and handing over the keys is a pretty strong sign Harry and Meghan have no plans to return. It appears they are tying up loose ends as they plan to extend their stay in the US perhaps permanently.”

Back in September, Eugenie and Jack announced that they'e expecting a baby—and Frogmore was renovated with young children in mind: “Frogmore was kitted out to Meghan and Harry’s tastes with son Archie in mind, so it is the perfect place for a couple to bring up a baby. It has the bonus of being around the corner from her parents and, of course, the Queen. Harry and Meghan didn’t fancy Frogmore for whatever reason but Jack and Eugenie are delighted with it.”

Yes, I know I’m 25 years behind, but better late than never. I already knew about the ending, but that knowledge didn’t keep me from enjoying it. It was a well-done thriller, and Morgan Freeman was never better. He had a really good run, didn’t he?

I was sure the setting was New York, but the last scene clearly takes place in California.

I just stumbled upon this video from 1991 of Jordan performing his solo song from the groups “Step By Step” album. He performed the song with his shirt open and a wind machine.

I was born in the late 80s, so I was too young for them, but was Jordan being groomed to be the JT or Beyoncé of that group? By their 3rd album it was his face they used most to promote, his vocals were mostly the lead throughout, they even gave him a solo song for their 3rd album (similar to what they did to Timberlake on NSYNCs 3rd album “Celebrity”) and would have him perform it without the other 4 guys on stage at all.

My cousin said they wanted to bring him solo after that album cause he was so popular but his anxiety kept him from doing it and instead he wanted time off. That time led to them going on hiatus for a few years and then years later he finally went solo, when no one cared anymore. But idk if this is true.

I was checking out various channels and happened upon a crappy (of course) Lifetime film called Sleeping With My Student. What caught my eye was an actor in it named Mitchell Hoog.

He has many moles, so the DL Mole Patrol would not like him.

It deserves more love and praise. It’s such a great song, and almost like comfort food for the ears. Marky Mark has so much talent and beauty, still to this day. I don’t get the hate for him. He’s repented of his wrong doings and has grown and changed.

As for the song, a BOP. Not shocked to learn it was a number 1 hit in many Countries, including the USA.

Dr. Megan Ranney has learned a lot about Covid-19 since she began treating patients with the disease in the emergency department in February.

But there's one question she still can't answer: What makes some patients so much sicker than others?

Advancing age and underlying medical problems explain only part of the phenomenon, said Ranney, who has seen patients of similar age, background and health status follow wildly different trajectories.

Full coverage of the coronavirus outbreak

"Why does one 40-year-old get really sick and another one not even need to be admitted?" asked Ranney, an associate professor of emergency medicine at Brown University.

In some cases, provocative new research shows, some people — men in particular — succumb because their immune systems are hit by friendly fire. Researchers hope the finding will help them develop targeted therapies for those patients.

In an international study in Science, 10 percent of nearly 1,000 Covid-19 patients who developed life-threatening pneumonia had antibodies that disable key immune system proteins called interferons. These antibodies — known as autoantibodies, because they attack the body itself — weren't found at all in 663 people with mild or asymptomatic Covid-19 infections. Only four of 1,227 healthy patients had the autoantibodies. The study was led by the Covid Human Genetic Effort, which includes 200 research centers in 40 countries.

"This is one of the most important things we've learned about the immune system since the start of the pandemic," said Dr. Eric Topol, executive vice president for research at Scripps Research in San Diego, who wasn't involved in the new study. "This is a breakthrough finding."

In a second Science study by the same team, the authors found that an additional 3.5 percent of critically ill patients had mutations in genes that control the interferons involved in fighting viruses. Given that the body has 500 to 600 of those genes, it's possible that researchers will find more mutations, said Qian Zhang, lead author of the second study.

Interferons serve as the body's first line of defense against infection, sounding the alarm and activating an army of virus-fighting genes, said virologist Angela Rasmussen, an associate research scientist at the Center for Infection and Immunity at Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health.

"Interferons are like a fire alarm and a sprinkler system all in one," said Rasmussen, who wasn't involved in the new studies.

Lab studies show that interferons are suppressed in some people with Covid-19, perhaps by the virus itself.

Interferons are particularly important for protecting the body against new viruses, such as the coronavirus, which the body has never encountered, said Zhang, a researcher at Rockefeller University's St. Giles Laboratory of Human Genetics of Infectious Diseases.

When infected with the novel coronavirus, "your body should have alarms ringing everywhere," Zhang said. "If you don't get the alarm out, you could have viruses everywhere in large numbers."

Significantly, patients didn't make autoantibodies in response to the virus. Instead, they appeared to have had them before the pandemic even began, said Paul Bastard, the antibody study's lead author, who is also a researcher at Rockefeller University.

For reasons that researchers don't understand, the autoantibodies never caused a problem until patients were infected with Covid-19, Bastard said. Somehow, the coronavirus, or the immune response it triggered, appears to have set them in motion.

"Before Covid, their condition was silent," Bastard said. "Most of them hadn't gotten sick before."

Bastard said he now wonders whether autoantibodies against interferon also increase the risk from other viruses, such as influenza. Among patients in his study, "some of them had gotten flu in the past, and we're looking to see if the autoantibodies could have had an effect on flu."

Scandal!

The woke movement is turning on white women slowly, but it is odd how white women were the forerunners of it for so long and only used it to bash white men. Perhaps they thought it wouldn't backfire? It will, it also will on really anyone in the end. It's a giant struggle session and when they have gone through one dead horse they're looking for a fresh one. See, "Black men are the white people of black people" and the like. You'll have your time in the sun according to you preceived place on the totempole until you become a relative oppressor to the one below you

I'll start: Promises by Basia

I was like many of us tremendously relieved and overjoyed with Biden's landslide victory! Character counts, and this election proved it. Unfortunately, the gross, violent, homophobic deplorables are just waiting for some Civil War insanity to overtake us. The Boogaloo boyz are everywhere, some even in our workplaces, ready to pounce in random outbursts of racial and homophobic violence and degradation. When I first heard the news that the 2020 Erection was being called for Biden, my husband and I took out the good crystal :) and started celebrating. We're both in our late 50s, but we celebrated like college kids, with my husband wheelbarrowing me around the house with his lovely thick cock buried in my mancunt. Our adopted sons were a little embarrassed, but they were happy, too, since they are adopted from Central America and feel safer that a racist is no longer in the White House.

We then decided to go out and join a street party. I live in an upscale suburb of Portland that abuts a very red rural area, so there's always danger in sight. I called the cops once on a convenience store owner in a small rural gas station who was eyeballing me in an aggressive and homophobic manner. I sometimes feel my personal safety and that of my gay, multiracial family is in danger. Anyway, while I was out partying in the streets, a group of violent deplorables accosted me. They were wearing military sunglasses, bandanas, and US flag face masks. They were very large, probably gym rats, and they had out of town accents. One of the sounded like he was a New York wop or something. They started hurling homophobic and misogynistic insults at me, and then dragged me, screaming for help, into an alleyway. They then proceeded to beat down my ass. They punched me in the gut, and beat me with bike chains and the butts of their pistols.

The wop said, "Youse faggots ain't welcome here no more!" He then undid his belt and his heavy beer gut fell out. He was fucking huge. 8 inches and THICK. The smell of ball sweat and smegma assaulted my nostrils. He was hard. His cheesy cockhead was dripping precum. "This is whats we does to faggots out here, boy!" He bellowed. Two of his accomplices pulled down my spanx shorts. One of them, may be a Midwestern polack, said, "Hell someone done blown out his fuckhole."

The wop said, "Let's get this mounting bitch knocked up! Giddy up, bitch," he then slid his master rod of pain and pleasure into my devastated boihole. I screamed, but then they done beat me harder for bein queer. They was all unwashed, and smellin of sweat, piss, and Old Spice. They was so fuckin masc and horny I popped a boner while the wop was wreckin my pussy. My tiny, inferrio, f@ggy cocklet stood to attention, dwarfed by all the hot, str8 blue collar cocks popping hard around me. The polack was jerking off watchin the wop do me, screaming insults, foaming at the mouth. His pecs was huge, like millstones; he had a chode, thicker than fag's wrist; his delts was fabulous, and he took of his shirt on account of him sweatin and beatin hisself off.

"Here's your Dhimmicrat victory, queer!" The polack bellowed. The wop shot his load and flooded my bowels with a hot beef injection. When he pulled out, my boitwat was a-gapin, and the polack done pissed in my gape, filling me with hot, rank piss. Then one of the deplorables - I done thunk he musta been a fenian on account of bein a redhead - kicked me in the balls. I felt my right nut rupture. My sac expanded, bruised, blue, and bloated. The mick screamed the foulest homophonic slurs I ever heard and done begun batterin my balls with his boots. I was fuckin wrecked. My cocklet was pissin precum. Then the police arrived, and dispersed the nasty deplorables. The kwaps were built, mustachioed men, but they were from the county PD, not Portland! I began to fart in terror, knowin that they be deplorables, too. They took out they nightsticks and sta

Delicious escapism ...

Trump firing Esper would just seem like pettiness on his part but Esper's own remarks about his replacement have me rattled.

Is it possible that Trump really could initiate what would be, for all intents and purposes, a coup of sorts?

And is McConnell likely to go along with it if Trump does?

Possibly I'm completely misreading the situation, and simply being stupid, and if so, Thank God, but I've learned that the stupidest, most vile and ridiculous things are daily reality in Trumpie-Land.

Jonathan Rhys Meyers might be dealing with some old demons again ... because he just got busted for DUI.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... cops got a call about a solo, minor car accident Sunday in Malibu around 5:00 PM. We're told when cops showed up at the scene, they noticed Jonathan showing signs of being intoxicated. It's unclear what led to the solo crash ... but cops ultimately gave Jonathan a field sobriety test, which we’re told he bombed.

Jonathan, whom cops say blew well past the legal limit, was arrested for misdemeanor DUI and currently remains behind bars. The actor has had a long history of substance abuse and has been to rehab several times.

As we reported, a little over 2 years ago ... Jonathan had been drinking before going on an expletive-laced tirade directed at his wife while on board an American Airlines flight.

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

Mine is the performance of Manilow & Tomlin's 'The Last Duet', sung by Tobias 'Toby' Beecher & Vernon 'Vern' Schillinger (played by Lee Tergesen & J.K. Simmons, respectively) on OZ. Out-of-context, it's a well-done showtune version with amusing choreo and surprisingly-decent vocals; in context, it's hilarious and shocking, as these two characters have a violent, torturous history between them, and while OZ does have prominent gay content it isn't the kind of show for surreal Cabaret moments.

If Trump leaves office, do you think he'll share the health plan he's been touting for years? It would be un-American if he didn't, think of the lives he could save.

The turkey on the head was a well-known Mr Bean gag. Don’t people realize this? Somehow the Friends episode is considered a classic because of the turkey. Yet another reason I hate that show.

If the majority of people don’t die from it then why is everyone going nuts. 80% are asymptomatic. 1% fatality. Testing has a 50% failure rate as well. Why not just demand that people who are at the most risk quarantine and let everyone else get on with their lives?

Just saw this for the first time. It launched the careers of Ralph Macchio, C. Thomas Howell, Tom Cruise, Emilio Estevez, Patrick Swayze... The extras blather on about the exhaustive casting and rehearsal process, but you'd never know it- not one frame rings true. I guess I saw the later director's cut with rock music instead of orchestrations, and Rob Lowe's deleted scenes added back in (wouldn't he blow Francis or something?). It just feels like Tiger Beat Community Theater. Lots of hair blowing against the sunset, etc. They are toughs like Michael Jackson's posse in the video "Bad". Just... weird.

My favorite coffees are Kona (real Kona) and Kenya AA if that makes a difference.

Never seen anyone mention this but I think it's interesting. I've looked through their IMDB pages and they've NEVER worked with Harvey Weinstein, not even once, even during his peak. This is a huge rarity for A-list actresses of their generation. I've never been a Reese fan but I have a lot of respect for her for boycotting him and his behavior from the beginning; she was on her way up at the exact time Harvey was and he probably could have benefitted her career a lot & she seems like his physical type. I have to think her avoidance of him was very intentional.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had a stern and emotional message to Canadians as the country sees COVID-19 cases “spiking massively” - everyone needs to reduce their contacts “immediately.”

“I don’t want to be here, you don’t want me to be here – we’re all sick and tired of COVID-19. But this virus is not going away any time soon,” the PM started his message to Canadians.

“We need to do everything we can right now to slow the spread of COVID-19, to stop this spike in its tracks,” Trudeau said. “We are now going to have to really tighten up once again.”

“This is frustrating because I know we’ve all heard stories of people who have thrown up their hands and are not doing their part anymore, and it’s tempting for all of us to say, OK well maybe I can loosen up a bit more too, but the reality is we need to go in the opposite direction.”

The prime minister also spoke about how the number of COVID-19 cases in Canada are overwhelming hospitals, putting extensive pressure on frontline workers in the healthcare system.

“They’ve been on the front lines for almost 10 months now, putting in incredibly long hours, being creative in how they can save people and protect people, while at the same time trying to keep themselves safe, while at the same time having the same worries that each of us have about our loved ones, about our kids and schools, about our parents and grandparents,” Trudeau said.

“They keep showing up every single day to be there for us, putting their health, their lives and in many cases, their family’s lives on the line to keep us safe, and they’re tired, They have been heroes, they have been going above and beyond anything they might have thought they were signing up for. We need to help them.”

When asked about the Christmas holiday, the prime minister said that a “normal Christmas” is going to be “out of the question” this year but the extent of the regulations depends on the actions that Canadians take right now to limit contacts.

“I think the arrival of imminent vaccines on the horizon is both motivating people to say, OK we’re almost there, and others to say, OK that’s it I’m done, I’m just going to wait,” Trudeau said. “We’re not in a fair situation and all we can do is try and be there for each other as best we can.”

“If you were planning to see friends this weekend, maybe don’t. If there was a birthday party or a gathering for dinner you were thinking about doing, don’t do it.”

Although B.C. and Alberta governments have not adopted the federal COVID Alert app, the prime minister still urged people in those province to download it. He said he is still “hopeful” that local authorities will be able to provide that code for people to be identified as COVID-19 cases in the app, but also stressed it can still notify people in B.C. and Alberta if they have been exposed to someone with COVID-19, who inputted a code into the app that they received from a test in another province.

Current border restrictions between Canada and the U.S. have been extended for another 30 days, until Dec. 21.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau shared the update on Twitter on Friday, stating that “non-essential travel between our two countries remains restricted” until that date at the earliest.

This comes as federal officials released Canada’s latest modelling data, which showed that with the existing restrictions in place, the country will see 20,000 COVID-19 a day by the end of the year.

In this age of fake news, unreliable sources, and reactionary headlines, where should I turn to for news? I don't know who to trust. Which news channels/organizations/sites/whatevers do you guys pay attention to? I need suggestions because I want to start paying attention to the COVID vaccine development course.
