Celebrating the magical number 69 today.

He gave up fucking man ass for the Lord.

Interesting listicle in The Guardian - a bit British focused, but figured DL'ers would have opinions about the list and/or who they'd put on their own list of terrible characters that ruined a show.

Let it loose, gurls!

The parents must be lovely people.

I confess to laughing my ass off though.

Farewell to St. Maria of the Push Up Bra......

Can we all possibly stand yet another shirtless Rory photo? I hope so.

Good lord!

What are some shows or movies you'd like to see but you can't find them?

Dear DL. I have an HR question.

Today I got a job offer from a large Fortune 500 company. I turned it down even though it was their second offer because it still fell well short of the top amount posted in the job description. Now they're going to have to open the req back up for the $20k they said they had, but didn't offer. It all seems rather short-sighted.

Anyone know the logic behind offering less to a final candidate?

Thanks in advance

Health officials from the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control are sounding the alarm after more than 2,000 people were sickened and nine died in a recent outbreak of hepatitis A — a highly contagious virus that’s spreading through Central Europe, with cases now reported in Slovakia, Hungary, the Czech Republic, and Austria.

While hepatitis A doesn’t typically make headlines, this surge has doctors and travel authorities urging vigilance. In the Czech Republic alone, six people have died — including multiple children. Slovakia is reporting nearly 900 confirmed cases, and Hungary has seen over 500. Even neighboring Germany has documented a few connected cases, suggesting the outbreak may be spreading beyond its initial clusters.

Rep. Mike Flood (R-NE), seen here modeling for Sears Optical's "Lookin' Great in '78" campaign, is equal parts shocked and annoyed that his rural constituents are angry about his vote to slash Medicaid in favor of tax cuts for the rich.

No comment on his suggestion to pay down the debt using the money he isn't spending on new ties.

What do you think of this trend? It’s come and gone before. This time, it’s affecting a lot of young Caucasian guys. Some go from just a little grub to spring-fed caterpillars.

I’m not crazy about it. I was on the train and there were three young guys - possibly from Middle Earth- with these worms in their mouths.

Negotiations on a hostage and ceasefire deal in Gaza appear to be at an impasse, with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu leaning towards expanded military operations and Hamas demanding the humanitarian situation be addressed before it returns to talks.

Netanyahu will urge a meeting of the security cabinet on Tuesday to support the full “conquest of the Strip” according to reports in Israeli media that were described as accurate by a source familiar with the matter.

Israel’s Ynet cited senior officials close to Netanyahu as saying: “The die is cast – we’re going for full conquest. If the Chief of Staff doesn’t agree – he should resign.”

I personally think highly intelligent, innovative people who create things and then experience some early success build a shroud of narcissism where they simply believe they are immune from death. This man was so fucking sexy.

What do you think?

From Facebook:

Roland Beainy, a Lebanese-born entrepreneur and co-owner of several Trump Burger restaurants in Texas is currently facing **immigration issues**, including the **revocation of his green card** and **detention by ICE**.

🔍 **Key Details:**

- Beainy moved to the U.S. in 2019 and claims to own 50% of Trump Burger LLC.

- He’s involved in multiple lawsuits—one over business ownership, another over a lease dispute in Kemah, Texas.

- The Kemah property owner stated Beainy was detained by ICE for seven weeks and released on bond.

- USCIS investigated his marriage and found no evidence he and his wife ever lived together, leading to a petition revocation.

- He has an immigration hearing scheduled for **November 18** in Houston.

⚖️ **Legal Drama & Branding Trouble**

- The Trump Organization sent cease-and-desist letters to Trump Burger locations for allegedly infringing on the Trump brand.

- The Kemah location has since been rebranded as **MAGA Burger**.

Lil Tay, the internet provocateur once crowned “the youngest flexer of the century,” is once again at the center of online debate, this time for her explosive debut on OnlyFans. The 18-year-old claimed she earned over $1 million in just three hours after launching her account on the adult content platform, days after celebrating her milestone birthday on July 29.

The announcement, made to her 5.7 million Instagram followers, came with characteristic bravado. In a video posted on August 3rd, Tay appeared triumphant, saying:

[quote] “$1 million in a couple hours. I’m still the youngest one doing it for all the grown ass haters who’ve been hating since I was nine years old, look at me now.”

The couple had been fighting for months, who said Donald “demonstrated an escalating pattern of violence toward his husband in defiance of multiple public court orders, culminating in his husband’s death,” prosecutors said, according to the Daily News.

The model was arrested for violating an order of protection issued by a judge in November that barred him from having contact with Jacob, which he immediately confessed to police, according to the report.

It's hot as balls out there and I'd been to a farmstand, so I made gazpacho. It's easy.

Start with vegetable juice like V-8. Blitz onion and garlic and add. Do the same with green bell pepper and a large seeded cucumber. Combine and add a little olive oil. I had a few ounces of leftover red salsa so I threw that in too.

Refrigerate overnight, check for balanced flavors, and eat. Cold, refreshing, healthy, lo-cal.

Does anybody have other good recipes for gazpacho?

Somewhere on net, read article by a restaurant worker going into detail on the pressures people are under who work in high-end restaurants, which he feels lead to her decision. If you also saw the article, can you post it here? Thanks.

When I was 12, I would do my homework with the radio on to the Top 40 station. At this time, they were playing “Let’s Hear It For the Boy” and “Borderline” over and over every afternoon. And I somehow got it in my head that Denise Williams was also in a band called “Madonna” and sang both songs.

I was very, very wrong and realized it when I saw both videos on MTV one afternoon.

Kate Middleton's public appearance is once again drawing concern as her noticeably slimmer frame leaves royal watchers uneasy.

The future Queen has kept a low profile this summer, surfacing only briefly and looking visibly thinner, even as palace sources insist she is focused on recovery.

Those close to the Princess say she is visibly frail, with some estimating her weight has dropped to around 90 pounds. The shift in her appearance has reportedly alarmed even those within royal circles, with sources expressing concern that her body may be struggling to keep up after months of treatment.

A volcano in far eastern Russia has erupted for the first time in more than 500 years, which experts say may be linked to last week's massive earthquake.

The Krasheninnikov Volcano in Kamchatka threw up an ash plume up to six kilometres (3.7 miles) high overnight. There are no threats to populated areas, Russia's emergency ministry said.

Hours later, another large earthquake in Russia led to tsunami warnings in three areas of the peninsula.

He has that borderline "midget voice" that small people have, not quite but close enough. He gets really shrill and high-pitched when he gets excited.

He also says "foe-werd" instead of "forward" a very common native Queens/Nassau County pronunciation (see all three Meiselas brothers). It drives me as batty. Can he possibly be straight? Gurl!

He has good guests, I'll give him that.

President Trump has compelled The Wall Street Journal’s 94-year-old owner Rupert Murdoch to submit health updates in exchange for dropping the expedited deposition demand in his $10 billion lawsuit against the paper.

Trump and Murdoch’s lawyers told a federal court in Florida on Monday that the president would not force Murdoch to testify expeditiously until a federal judge rules on Murdoch and the Journal‘s motion to dismiss.

A lawyer for Trump did not respond to an immediate request for comment. A spokesperson for Dow Jones, the paper’s parent company, declined to comment, pointing instead to a statement from last month that said it would “vigorously defend against any lawsuit.”

American Eagle Outfitters (AEO) stock rose over 20% Monday after President Trump waded into the discussion about the company's viral ad campaign featuring Sydney Sweeney.

"Sydney Sweeney, a registered Republican, has the 'HOTTEST' ad out there," Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social, the social media platform he owns. "It's for American Eagle, and the jeans are 'flying off the shelves.' Go get 'em Sydney!"

The campaign features a play on homophones — "Sydney Sweeney has great jeans" and "Sydney Sweeney has great genes" — that quickly generated controversy around the potential ambiguity of the ad's message.

I can’t believe so many pedophiles exist that would have kept Epstein in business. Esp in strata he operated in—the 1% of the 1%.

Maybe it’s something else—

>>> Most of the clients were simply attracted to teenagers. Young ones. In many cultures, it’s somewhat accepted. It’s not even clinically pedophilia.

>>> Epstein provided a sick ambience where it’s all good fun.

>>> Getting to the children, who were commonly available as young as 10 and younger on request. We need to differentiate between pedos and men who like to rape, torture and kill children.

>>> Pedos in their pathetic deluded way think they are in a relationship with the child, some going so far as believe the child seduced them.

>>> Another set of men like to either rape, beat, torture and kill children. Either on an ongoing basis or as a one- off. >>>NOW that I can see appealing to the .01% . Either as a sick exotic tryout—like ordering that black Tibetan apple or as a malevolent appetite. Epstein provides everything, no need to lurk around playgrounds.

I like to douse everything in a ridiculous amount of black pepper. The quantity tends to shock others. I also prefer to eat most crackers by chewing them slowly until it becomes a big pile of mush in my mouth. Then I slowly suck the cracker meal down. That's the best way to eat Cheez-Its.

The White House has instructed NASA employees to terminate two major, climate change-focused satellite missions.

As NPR reports, Trump officials reached out to the space agency to draw up plans for terminating the two missions, called the Orbiting Carbon Observatories. They've been collecting widely-used data, providing both oil and gas companies and farmers with detailed information about the distribution of carbon dioxide and how it can affect crop health.

One is attached to the International Space Station, and the other is collecting data as a stand-alone satellite. The latter would meet its permanent demise after burning up in the atmosphere if the mission were to be terminated. Worse yet, the two observatories had been expected to function for many more years, scientists working on them told NPR. A 2023 review by NASA concluded that the data they'd been providing had been "of exceptionally high quality."

The observatories provide detailed carbon dioxide measurements across various locations, allowing scientists to get a detailed glimpse of how human activity is affecting greenhouse gas emissions.

Former NASA employee David Crisp, who worked on the Orbiting Carbon Observatories' instruments, told NPR that current staffers reached out to him.

"They were asking me very sharp questions," he said. "The only thing that would have motivated those questions was [that] somebody told them to come up with a termination plan."

Crisp said it "makes no economic sense to terminate NASA missions that are returning incredibly valuable data," pointing out it costs only $15 million per year to maintain both observatories, a tiny fraction of the agency's $25.4 billion budget.

First test screening for Emerald Fennell’s ‘WUTHERING HEIGHTS’ gets negative reaction and is being described as “aggressively provocative and tonally abrasive” :

‘It’s a deliberately unromantic take on Brontë’s novel, stripped of emotional nuance and full of salacious detours that serve little narrative purpose beyond shock value.’

The State Department is proposing requiring applicants for business and tourist visas to post a bond of up to $15,000 to enter the United States, a move that may make the process unaffordable for many.

In a notice to be published in the Federal Register on Tuesday, the department said it would start a 12-month pilot program under which people from countries deemed to have high overstay rates and deficient internal document security controls could be required to post bonds of $5,000, $10,000 or $15,000 when they apply for a visa.

Amazing poster. Wow.

Did it melt too fast?

This story has never stopped haunting me since I first read about it in, of all things, my mom’s “Good Housekeeping”. It was maybe a year after the incident and the TV movie was still a year and a half away.

I think it’s more horrifying than the disappearance of Etan Patz because of only finding Adam’s head. Also, Adam was only a few years younger than I was.

In the years since, I’ve heard various “truths” that people spout like Reve Walsh left Adam alone longer than seven minutes, that she was meeting a lover, that the killing was planned as a revenge plot, etc.

Who remembers poor Adam?

If so, what are your thoughts on it?

We're off on a wonderful vacation! I mean, after Bert told me I should hang it up, I decided to follow Alan and Hope on their trip!

We're all having a blast. Alan keeps wandering down to the nude beach. He must be bored down there, since it's only a bunch of guys. Anyway.....

Time to catch up again with the tea in Springfield, the vinegar in Oakdale, the babble in Bay City, and all the other good stuff. Fill me in!

A chilling case that has always haunted me, I hope this doc will lead to her family finding Amy.

Could Brendan Fraser's TAINT win a second Oscar??

It's possible.

After months of speculation about her political future, former Vice President and San Francisco Bay Area native Kamala Harris has ruled out one option: governor of California.

Harris said Wednesday that she will not enter the 2026 race to replace Gov. Gavin Newsom, who is serving his second term and cannot run again. Harris did not say what she plans to do next, but her choice is the clearest sign yet that she may still be considering a third run for president.

"I love this state, its people, and its promise. It is my home. But after deep reflection, I’ve decided that I will not run for governor in this election," Harris said in a statement.

Of course, she's not wrong. What I'm finding funnier are all the culties calling her low class, ghetto, disrespectful, trashy, potty mouth, etc. These people have zero self-awareness. They elected a guy who insults everyone, drops "fuck" in speeches and is a low class, trashy pos yet they never acknowledge this fact.

In the days of Craigslist you sent a pic and what you were looking for and you had a hook up that evening. Now you have to spend hours chatting and sharing picture albums only for the guy to no show or ask if you’re free 3 weeks from now. It’s like it’s just performative now. Everybody wants to chat and swap pics or sext but nobody actually wants to meet. Nobody’s dick works anymore it’s all just middle aged bottoms with ED.

The drama continues!

[quote]July 25, 2025, at precisely 2:07 p.m., my world changed in a way I never could’ve imagined.

[quote]That was the moment I walked through the gates of the Federal Correctional Institution Flatiron Satellite Camp in New Jersey.

[quote]Let me be very clear: nothing prepares you for that kind of awakening. I wasn’t escorted by guards in shackles or thrown behind bars in some Hollywood-style prison drama.

[quote]No, I walked in. On my own. Wearing a fluorescent yellow jumpsuit that made me feel like a caution sign in human form.

[quote]As I crossed the threshold of the dormitory and took my first steps into what would become my new reality, I caught a glimpse of myself in the small, scratched mirror held up by one of the inmates.

[quote]That image—me, hollow-eyed, clad in state-issued polyester—hit me like a punch to the gut.

[quote]The tears came faster than I could stop them. I didn’t care who saw. That reflection, in that moment, made the weight of my decisions, my mistakes, and the road that led me there all too real. It was the clearest, most painful mirror I’ve ever looked into—one that didn’t just show my face, but the wreckage of the life I had built.

[quote]The dorm itself? It brought back strange echoes of summer camp—if summer camp had bars, regulations, and a stench of despair. Imagine a cafeteria straight out of a public school built in the 1970s—same linoleum floors, the same clatter of trays, only now the food is joyless and served with indifference.

[quote]The bathroom, though, deserves its own horror novel. The closest thing I can compare it to is an abandoned gym locker room from a forgotten high school—grim, damp, smelling of mildew and regret. You don’t go in there without flip-flops and prayer.

[quote]It’s been just over a week now, but I can tell you this much: when people say “prison sucks,” they aren’t just talking about the bars and the bunks.

[quote]It’s not just the loss of freedom—it’s the erosion of your dignity. It’s realizing how many basic human rights we all take for granted on the outside.

[quote]A pillow that isn’t made of rubber. Soap that isn’t government-issued sandpaper. The freedom to choose when you eat or even what direction you walk in. Here, everything is regulated, stripped down, dehumanized.

[quote]I’m in what they call a “camp”—a minimum-security facility that, in theory, should feel less harsh than the prisons you see on TV. But let’s not kid ourselves: a cage is still a cage, even if it doesn’t have bars.

[quote]I now live among 47 other men, mostly fellow white-collar offenders, a few caught up in the dragnet of drug-related cases. We each carry our own stories, our own falls from grace, and yet we are now all wearing the same uniform, eating the same meals, following the same monotonous schedule.

[quote]Every day is an exercise in patience and mental endurance. You quickly realize that time doesn’t move here—it drips. Slowly. Painfully. The routine is soul-numbing. Wake up, count, eat, line up, repeat. You begin to understand why some men talk to the walls or pace like caged animals. The silence here is loud, and the noise never stops.

Thoughts?

What contributes to the long lines here? Respectfully, our long wait times are a reflection of the incredible support from our community, as well as our commitment to intentional service—we want every customer to feel genuinely cared for.

As a new business, we're still working toward smoother flow and efficiency, and we're doing our best every day. Our pastries take three days to plan, and we're steadily increasing production and hiring more staff.

What we won’t tolerate is any form of harassment. This space is meant for everyone—both customers and employees—to feel safe and valued. We welcome feedback and concerns, but ask that they be shared with kindness and respect.

How do you accommodate individuals who have to wait in line for extended periods? While we can never predict the outcome of each day, we've made the difficult decision to limit each customer to one of each pastry. This choice comes from a place of wanting to make sure everyone has the chance to enjoy something from our bakery.

We're baking more throughout the day, though demand still exceeds supply. Thank you for understanding—we’ll keep updating our stories and making announcements for those in line.

Anybody felt that?

Is one ugly cunt.

A continuation thread for our nattering about Britain's favourite soap.

Which real life cases, scandals, incidents, etc. you think are long due to be made into a major motion pictures? (No, music biopics don't count).

For me, it has to be the 2004 Marvin Heemeyer "Killdozer" rampage. According to Wikipedia, there is a Russian film inspired on that and a documentary made in 2019 called "Tread".

I can envision someone like Kathryn Bigelow directing a Hollywood-made depiction of the rampage.

My best friend used to say she makes "elevator music," but I always found her voice to be quite soothing, especially when I'm feeling more introspective. For some reason, I always listen to her when I'm studying for a test. Do you like her music?

You think you had a shitty airport experience?

[quote]Video appears to show a sewer line break inside the Atlanta airport on Monday. Jamaal Carlos Jr., a passenger heading from Atlanta to Dallas, said his flight was delayed as he was sitting at the terminal outside of Gate T11- when he saw water start to pour from the ceiling. "As we're waiting, we see water just pouring from the ceiling. It had been pouring consistently for maybe 10-15 seconds," Carlos recalled. "And it just progressively got worse. The ceiling fell through and it stinks really bad."

[quote]"Even after it poured... I thought they would get buckets or do something, but people were walking through it," he said.

It felt like the subway back in the city.

This poor guy needs to run. Far and fast. Total "me, me, me" narcissist move.

She now claims Scott was abusing her.

With all the interest/following around Aster's movies, I'm surprised to find little to no speculation (much less specific information) about Aster's sexuality -- even with his much-repeated comments about MIDSOMMAR's having been inspired by his own break-up experience (and the character of Dani in that film being an analogue for him).

Anyone have the goods on him? I'd guess straight, but you never know.

Terrifying!

My favorite Superman has always been Christopher Reeve. What about you?

From “his” social media, below. I feel bad for anybody who works hard and saves money and finds themselves in a bad situation. But these whores who flaunt their carefree lifestyles, but need a friend loan for a car repair of under $3000… Spend less time whoring around for Pennie’s and more time working two or three paying (but unsexy) jobs.

“ In April 2024, the dreaded engine light came in our 2015 Cadillac SRX. We got the code read at Auto Zone and found out we needed a new fuel pump and there was an EV leak (emissions)- something that would not stop the car from running, but would prevent us from passing California's SMOG check, required to renew registration. After spending $240 for an estimate (outrageous) at the dealer, we were told repairs would cost $1900. Since car drove fine, we determined we'd delay the work to try and save up the massive amount of money.

Fast forward to last week when the car refused to start. We had it towed to the dealership only to be told we had a dead FOB battery and another $240 to find that out. A day later, the car died again, we had it towed again. Dead battery. I had it out with the dealership about a second $240 charge and went further to insist that the first charge should be applied to the major repairs we needed to have done.

Three days later, the work is done, the check engine light is off, and we're now another $2200 in debt. But thankfully, friends were kind enough to loan us the money interest free. Had I charged it, we'd be paying 29% interest on top of the $2200. Post bankruptcy credit cards always have massive interest rates.

The car has 88,000 miles. Hopefully there are no more repairs for a good while. But given that a new, used car would require a down payment, plus monthly payments of at least $300 per month, (probably closer to $500)- putting $2000 into this car to keep it running as long as possible isn't a bad deal. No way we could afford a car payment. We're going to get at least 175,000 miles out-of this car.”

This season promises to be a shit show.

I mean, of course!

Rozentals says he was suspended from his funded training programme because he makes what have been described as "edgy videos"

Kurt Adams Rozentals, a canoeist who has been training to compete on behalf of Great Britain at the 2028 Olympic Games in canoe slalom, says that his hopes have been dashed thanks to him launching an OnlyFans account.

The 22 year old athlete had previously been part of Paddle UK’s funded training programme for Olympic hopefuls until he was suspended in April.

The organisation have referred to the suspension as an “interim action” which is designed to “safeguard other athletes, staff, and volunteers due to the nature of the allegation”. It has not made clear exactly what the “allegation” against Rozentals is, however its disciplinary policy list does include “offensive use of social media and indecent, offensive or immoral behaviour” as examples of gross misconduct.

The canoeist has said that he only started in the account on January of this year in order to cover the costs of his training, as the £16,000 he received a year on the programme was not enough to pay for his needs.

“At the end of the day, I started this to help with the sport, and it certainly is helping when I’m on the start line, and I’m not having to worry about rent and food on the table. It’s a good feeling,” he said in an interview with Sky News.

In an emotional post on social media last month, Rozentals wrote that he “might lose [his] sports career.” He went on write: “i started making what they now describe “edgy videos”, with the focus to grow a following, because trying to live on the salary PaddleUK pays their athletes is near impossible.”

Was this Tan Mom’s house?

Wow!

And it's a stunner (IMO). She was smart to keep it for so long. She bought it for $2.56 million over 20 years ago. It's on the market for $9.45 million. The proceeds will go to her mother. I hope it was fully paid off.

I've been laid up with the flu for the past week and have gone down the YouTube rabbit hole watching police bodycam videos, everything from DUI arrests to drunks getting kicked out of bars to ex-girlfriends stalking their ex-boyfriends. Most of the videos are hilarious (and most take place in Floriduh, of course), and I love how all the people who get arrested inevitably shriek, "I didn't do anything!" as the handcuffs are placed on them. It's also fun watching deadbeats without a dime scream, "I'm calling my attorney," as if these WalMart rejects have a lawyer on retainer.

Anybody else get oddly entertained by these?

You see and hear this sentiment from time to time...is it just the kind of historical revisionism that is easier to perpetuate in an attention economy, or is there something to it? If you check out this 20/20 piece on the group from 1979, no one's pussyfooting around the origin story. Of course, even today people like music they know nothing about because they hear it on the radio or at a store. Anyone who was older than 15 in 1979 care to weigh in?

A California 7-Eleven employee was left brain-dead after her manager sat on top of her during a “senseless” on-the-job attack — and died Wednesday after she was taken off life support.

Jessica McLaughlin, 24, was working at a Los Angeles 7-Eleven on June 24 when her unidentified female manager — who remains at large — “violently and senselessly attacked” her after the pair got into an argument shortly after 2 p.m., the Los Angeles Times reported.

During the attack, the deranged Big Gulp slinger pulled McLaughlin’s hair and sat down on her employee’s upper body with her full weight, preventing her from breathing.

“She held her down, sat on top of her, and didn’t let her breathe,” the victim’s brother Sean McLaughlin wrote in a GoFundMe. Concerned co-workers tried to pry the madwoman off McLaughlin but became targets themselves, Fox11 reported.

While they attempted to revive McLaughlin, the manager supposedly ran into the 7-Eleven’s back office and tried to erase security footage, according to the GoFundMe.

McLaughlin collapsed while struggling and never regained consciousness.

She was taken to Hollywood Presbyterian Hospital in serious condition, and doctors declared her brain-dead due to a lack of oxygen, the LA Times reported.

Her family decided to take her off life support days after the attack, and she died Wednesday, according to Fox 11.

“Jessica had a way of making people feel safe, accepted, and loved. You could come to her with anything and know you wouldn’t be judged,” her brother wrote on GoFundMe.

“She had such a beautiful soul and deserved so much better than the way her life was taken from her.”

He used to inundate the Internet all the time, then he looked quite ill. Now he's silent. Is he still alive? Does anyone know?

His death was attributed to "acute effects of ketamine" with accidental drowning as the manner of death.

A recent documentary has shed light on the final days of Matthew Perry, revealing that the actor received 27 ketamine injections in the three days leading up to his tragic death at 54 in October 2023. The documentary, 'Matthew Perry: A Hollywood Tragedy,' features insights from US Attorney Martin Estrada. Mr Perry, who played Chandler Bing on the hit TV sitcom 'Friends' from 1994-2004, died after having been found unconscious in a swimming pool at his house in Los Angeles in October 2023. According to the autopsy report, his death was attributed to "acute effects of ketamine" with accidental drowning as the manner of death.

According to the documentary, Martin Estrada, who previously supervised the investigation into Mr Perry's death, revealed that the actor had been administered 27 doses of ketamine by "people who should have known much better," the New York Post reported.

Five people have been charged in connection with his death, including two doctors, his assistant, and an alleged drug dealer known as "the Ketamine Queen." An unsealed indictment from August alleges that Perry's assistant, Kenneth Iwamasa, and acquaintance Erik Flemingcollaborated with doctors Salvador Plasencia and Mark Chavez to obtain large quantities of ketamine for Perry before his overdose death.

Jasveen Sangha, the "Ketamine Queen," is specifically charged with supplying the ketamine that ultimately led to his death. According to the indictment Iwamasa administered the final three doses of ketamine purchased from Sangha to Mr Perry on the day of his death, using needles provided by Dr Plasencia.

"Dr Plasencia was very clear in text messages… that he saw this as an opportunity to make a lot of money in a short amount of time, and he allegedly did just that," Mr Estrada said in the new documentary.

Dr. Plasencia and Jasveen Sangha have entered not-guilty pleas and are scheduled to stand trial on March 4 in Los Angeles. Meanwhile, Kenneth Iwamasa, Erik Fleming, and Dr. Mark Chavez have pleaded guilty and are awaiting sentencing.

"In the past, we used to call these things overdose deaths and do more blaming of the victim. We don't do that anymore. We blame the drug dealers, the drug sellers, for taking advantage of those addiction issues to cause death or serious injury, and that's why we bring these cases. The big takeaway from this case is that when people involved in reckless activity, whether that be drug dealing or other activity, cause the death of others, there needs to be accountability," the attorney added.

What is Ketamine?

Ketamine is a potent anaesthetic sanctioned by US health authorities for surgical use, administered either through intramuscular injection or intravenous (IV) delivery. Chemically related to the recreational substance PCP, ketamine has also been used recreationally for its euphoric properties. However, it can induce hallucinations and may adversely affect respiratory and cardiac functions.

Notably, the FDA approved the drug in 2019 as a medication for treatment-resistant depression. While some experts and patients call it lifesaving, others say it's addictive and causes bladder ailments. Long-term, heavy use, of ketamine can cause severe, irreversible damage to the bladder and kidneys and excruciating abdominal pain. The drug should only be obtained and administered by a licensed and experienced medical doctor.

It seems Pedro Pascal is not bigger than newly crowned BO prince David Corenswet. Box office projections for The Fantastic Four: First Steps show the Marvel movie will struggle to catch up to DC Studios’ Superman.

This forecast sets up a difficult financial battleground for Marvel’s First Family to win the summer, as they must leverage the MCU’s historical strength in the international market.

Amy Sherald's cover for this week's issue, "Trans Forming Liberty," is a portrait of the trans model and performance artist Arewà Basit.

The art work is featured in Sherald's show "American Sublime," currently on view at the Whitney. The exhibition was originally set to open next month at the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery, in Washington, D.C.-until Sherald learned that the museum was considering removing the painting from the exhibit. Sherald, in response to her perception that the Smithsonian was capitulating to political pressure, decided to cancel her show.

Do any DLers remember this fucked up story? I had never heard of it before, but a recent interview segment with her came up in my YouTube algorithm. While hitchhiking from Berkeley to Los Angeles, 15-year-old Mary crossed paths with psychopath Lawrence Singleton, who raped her before chopping both of her arms off with an axe and throwing her into a culvert to die. She miraculously managed to slow the bleeding from her limbs and climb onto the road where she was saved by passersby. Possibly the most horrifying element of this story is that this sick bastard was paroled eight years after the fact and ended up murdering a mother of three. Talk about a failure of the justice system. Mary was fitted with prosthetic arms shortly after her attack and has worked as an artist in the years since.

“Real Housewives” star Brandi Glanville has blamed a “parasite that jumps around my face” that might be responsible for the dramatic change in her appearance. Glanville shared a selfie on social media and wrote, “Some Dr.’s say I have a parasite that jumps around my face.”

Glanville wrote in full on X, “What happened? I wish I knew I’ve been in &out of the hospital this passed year 1/2 spent almost every dollar I have trying to figure it out. Some Dr.’s say I have a parasite that jumps around my face. Some say it’s stress induced edema. I personally say it’s Bravo.”

Fans were shocked and concerned after Glanville posted a selfie in which her face appeared to be swollen. In October 2023 Glanville revealed she had been diagnosed with stress-induced angioedema. Entertainment Tonight reported one of her sons called 911 after she collapsed at home.

The outlet also said Glanville’s “face blew up like a basketball, so much so that her eyes were swollen shut, reducing her vision to the point she couldn’t even see her own hand.”

A source told the outlet, “Brandi’s been under so much stress since ‘The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip’ drama started with Caroline Manzo. She hasn’t been able to work since the false claims were brought against her, and now it’s taking a toll on her physically. She is back home and resting after spending the night in the hospital.”

Glanville herself wrote on X, formerly Twitter, at the time, “I collapsed at home this am and my SON had to call 911 for help! You guys have no idea the amount of stress I’m dealing with.”

A last-ditch effort by California Democrats to redraw the state's congressional map for the 2026 election, countering a similar push by Texas Republicans, is now up against the clock.

Gov. Gavin Newsom said Monday that Democrats are moving forward with a plan to put a rare mid-decade redistricting plan before voters on Nov. 4. But state lawmakers will craft a "trigger," he said, meaning California voters would only vote on the measure if Texas moved forward with its own plans to redraw Congressional boundaries to add five more Republican seats.

"It's cause and effect, triggered on the basis of what occurs or doesn't occur in Texas," Newsom said. "I hope they do the right thing, and if they do, then there'll be no cause for us to have to move forward."

Maybe Naked Gun is something people are happy to wait for to come to streaming. At any rate, Naked Gun has trackers stunned.

One month after their release from federal custody, the couple is sitting with Juju Chang for the 100th episode and season 3 finale of ABC’s IMPACT x Nightline, which is set to air on Sunday, June 29.

In PEOPLE’s exclusive first look at their special, The Chrisleys: Life After Lockup, Todd, 57, and Julie, 52, will “detail their life behind bars and their surprise homecoming, while daughter Savannah sheds light on her fight for their presidential pardon.”

“I don’t have an apology to give you or anyone else over the money that I’ve made,” Todd says at the start of the teaser.

It was slightly before I was born, but it sounds like a simple enough premise: Bring the era's biggest stars together to sing a soaring single, and donate the proceeds to famine relief.

It's a diverse group, too. Ray Charles to Kim Carnes, Bruce Springsteen to Bette Midler, also Cyndi Lauper and Dan Aykroyd show up, for some reason.

A few stars hogged the mic, though: Stevie Wonder and Ray Charles (well), Cyndi Lauper and Springsteen (poorly).

So what was it like at the time? Was this a big deal that people liked and supported? Did it end up helping people?

It sounds like there are about 10 or so male voices and 10 or so female voices. They all sound so similar.

A day after arriving in Sydney on a long-haul flight from the U.S., Keith Urban was back at the airport to pick up his wife of 17 years, Nicole Kidman, as she came home for Christmas on December 18.

The pair smiled widely as he led her by the hand and ushered her outside into his waiting car. “It was all very sweet and lovey-dovey — he even opened the car door for her,” says an observer, “but it definitely seemed a little bizarre, like they were putting on a show of unity and happiness for all of the cameras.”

In private, it’s a different story. “Nicole has been secretly struggling and doing her best to hide it,” says an insider exclusively to In Touch. But fans have started to notice her erratic social media posts, dramatic weight loss and changing face due to suspected plastic surgery. “Everyone wants to know what’s wrong with her. Even those close to her are concerned. The truth is, Nicole has been working herself ragged, and it’s taking a toll.”

In the past two years, Nicole has filmed five TV shows and three movies. “She’s been acting in projects nearly back-to-back while also doing advertisements and producing,” says the insider. “She even just took on the job as a Balenciaga brand ambassador, as if she didn’t have enough on her plate.”

Another source reveals she also earns upwards of $1 million for a few hours’ work appearing at private events, such as corporate conventions and sales conferences. “The sheer frequency of these jobs seems to indicate she’s desperate for easy cash,” says the source. Despite already being worth an estimated $250 million, “it’s as if she fears if she turns down work opportunities, she’ll lose the career she worked so hard for,” the insider adds of the 56-year-old. “She’s shown no signs of slowing down.”

And she throws herself into every new job, body and soul. As a practitioner of the Method acting style, she’s admitted her preparation for roles is “bats—t crazy.” She’s been known to lose herself in a character to the point where those on set have observed that “something inside her just snaps and she becomes a different person,” says the insider.

It’s difficult to turn off that level of intensity when she gets home. After making the 2020 series The Undoing, Nicole admitted, “I went down for a week because your immune system doesn’t know the difference between acting and truth.”

The side effects are more than just physical. “Certain things penetrate in a really deep way. There is just no getting around that, and I wish there was. It does take a toll on my health and my spirit,” she’s said, adding that sometimes when she gets home, her children “are going, ‘Why are you looking like that, Mummy?’”

Fans wonder the same thing. “Nicole has always been shy and slightly quirky, which can cause her to act awkwardly in social situations. But her recent behavior has drawn a lot of attention,” says the insider. “She just seems off at times.”

In a series of Instagram photos posted on November 30, the actress made faces while wearing just rock band T-shirts and no pants.

Aside from acting like “she’s 15 years old,” as one commenter griped, others fretted about her bony frame and speculated that she seems to have gotten plastic surgery.

In person, the changes are even more noticeable. “She looks incredibly skinny. People are whispering about how boney she is,” says a witness who’s seen her on set for the erotic thriller Babygirl in NYC recently. (Nutrition expert Dr. Fred Pescatore, who has not treated Nicole, estimates that the 5-foot-11 actress is about 25 pounds below the average weight for her height.) “Her face doesn’t look so sunken,” adds the witness, “because she appears to have had fillers.”

A Texas sheriff’s deputy is under internal investigation after a controversial TikTok video in which she implied a lack of sex influenced her professional conduct went viral and sparked outrage.

The remains of Georgia twins Qaadir Malik Lewis and Naazir Rahim Lewis, both 19, were discovered by hikers at the top of Bell Mountain in Hiawassee, Georgia, on March 8.

The twins' family has been left shocked by the discovery, with relatives telling Georgia NBC affiliate WXIA that they thought the teens were visiting friends in Boston at the time.

About 2-1/2 hours ago I went out to the front yard to call my three indoor/outdoor cats in for dinner. I called names, and thought I saw my black cat running from across the street, but when I opened the gate in rushed a black puppy instead, his ENTIRE body one big wag. My neighbor's fiance was doing yard work across the street at her house. He saw me and was spitting nails, saying "These two guys just pulled up in front of me, opened the door and THREW that puppy out, looking dead in my face and smirking the whole time!"

I scooped Puppy up, and he immediately snuggled into my neck. Took him inside to a spare room, sat on a sofa with him on my lap. Suuuucch a good little one. Three of the cats are curious-to-indifferent; one just stalks off when Puppy approaches; the last is LIVID.

My question: is it okay to put Pup on the front porch for the night? I don't want nighttime animal drama, plus I don't know Pup's health status. I have several cat beds s/he'd fit, and while I don't have dog food, I have plenty of high-quality cat kibble Pup already seems to love. Of course I have water bowls. Pup would be 1000% safe as long as s/he stays inside the yard, inside the fence line.

Pup is sweet as pie and good as gold. Except he keeps trying to gnaw on my phone charger cable, which is easy to put out of his reach. But I'll give him some cat toys to keep him entertained.

Tomorrow I'll deal with which no-kill shelter to take him to. He really is a big-little ball of total sweetness. Plus his little snuffling noises sound like Snoopy.

"I think they know this is the issue that has gotten the base riled up," he said. "The MAGA base isn't letting this issue go, and for the first time, they know they can probably take the party back and not piss off the MAGA base."

When I heard of European cities protesting tourism, I didn’t pay much attention. Now, that I’m in Europe for a few weeks, I’m amazed by the sheer number of tourists here.

In Italy, Florence has become like Venice with a thick mass of tourists everywhere. Rome is jam-packed. In Barcelona, tourists are wall to wall. Paris is a bit better but, still, way more than I’ve ever seen before.

Maybe more people are now choosing Europe over the US. Maybe more people just travel because there’s money money floating around.

I may alter my future travel to move a bit off season. Prices will be cheaper and I could actually see the art in museums.

Fat Orange Fuck's tariff nonsense rattles the market again today - Friday, August 1, 2025. Curbed job growth, looming inflation and those fucking tariffs conspired to lower global markets. So those intrepid investors with holdings in foreign markets get screwed. I firmly believe that Trump is a moron and doesn't know shit about economics. However, I am now convinced that he is deliberately manipulating the market to enrich himself and his friends. Every credible source has explained in terms that a 5 year old can understand that tariffs will be a drag on trade and lead to increased cost for goods. Americans will pay more for everything with tariffs. He knows and does not care, his whole modus operandi is to tank the market so he can buy low. Since he can't get Powell to lower rates, he is using the one tool at his disposal. This tariff foolishness.

The sickest part is how they ask this with a straight face.

They want to help their captive predators feel like hunters again, so rather than feed them boring prepared meats, they'd like to enrich their diets with an occasional whole animal carcass. They promise your pet will be humanely euthanized before being fed to the predators.

They're reportedly accepting any animal, from guinea pigs to horses, for the program.

But wouldn't the drugs they use to put a bunny rabbit to sleep somehow taint the carcass and poison whatever animal ate it?

My friend and I took the Seastreak ferry from 35th Street to Sandy Hook, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The sun was shining and the ship was bustling with energy—don't expect to see Only Fan models parading around with big flopping dicks, just a bunch of regular Joes and Karens enjoying life. At the beach pavilion we treated ourselves to ice cream, and on the return ride we sipped cocktails, soaking in the views and the sea breeze.

It really was a great way to spend the day—scenic ride, nice company, good food and drinks, and just pure relaxation. Anyone else been recently? Highly recommend it for a fun, easy getaway.

The video is oddly feminine for lang, but she enjoyed having such a crossover hit.

Let’s also not forget the queer crossover with “The Usual Suspects.” Kevin Spacey claims Bryan Singer listened to the song nonstop on set, and even had them write a hint of the song into the score of the film, in the scene where the bad guy gets into a car with another man and rides away.

I'm I don't know where to begin because the cumbersome functionality is the off-grid smug Woody Harrelsonesque so groovy I'm actually a dick of message boards.

This series about adolescents/teenagers at a Toronto school came out at a perfect time for me as I was around the same age as the characters in it. I never saw the original series and I don't know the later seasons at all, but I did watch the first six or seven seasons of "The Next Generation" religiously. It was broadcast here in the states on a channel called Noggin. I had not seen it in probably fifteen years and recently discovered the whole series is on Pluto TV. I started rewatching it for nostalgia's sake, and I forgot how dark some of the subject matter was. The pilot episode, for example, centers on 12-year-old Emma meeting a pedophile online and almost getting raped in a hotel room.

It tackled a number of taboo themes, from drug use to parental abuse, domestic violence, bipolar disorder, abortion, self-harm, and school shootings. It was also one of the first times I remember seeing gay people shown on TV (Ashley's dad is revealed to be gay, popular but lovable bitch Paige has an unexpected lesbian relationship, and Marco has an entire coming out arc to his goth friend Ellie). The characters in it were complicated and relatable, and the subject matter wasn't just fluff. Was this series a big part of anyone else's adolescent/teen years? Seeing Aubrey Graham's evolution into Drake was crazy, but as far as I'm concerned, he'll always be Jimmy.

He is/was such a hot & hunky voracious bottom.

Actually, it was the hunter's fault, of course, but the widow is suing.

[QUOTE]ANCHORAGE, Alaska (KTUU) - A crash that killed former Rep. Mary Peltola’s husband, Eugene, in rural Alaska during a 2023 hunting trip was caused by the plane being overloaded with moose meat and antlers that hung on one side of the small aircraft, according to the final report by the National Transportation Safety Board.

[QUOTE]The final report by the NTSB concluded that the plane was roughly 117 pounds overweight — or about 6% over its maximum takeoff limit — when Peltola departed from the site where the hunters met up with him.

[QUOTE]The agency’s preliminary report released weeks after the crash said the plane was carrying over 500 pounds of moose meat when Peltola took off.

[QUOTE]The final report also stated that a pair of moose antlers were attached to the right wing strut of the plane, which likely would have led to difficulties in taking off when taking into account the excess weight and aerodynamic drag of the antlers.

People are pissed at the “white supremacy” depicted in new Dunkin ad

Any gossip about him, past or present? Was he your favorite in the group? I’ve been looking at pictures of him from over the years and sometimes he seems attractive and sometimes he seems ugly. Interesting.

I just watched the 2nd episode of the 3rd season of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. Ethan Peck is so beautiful even with the makeup, prosthetic ears and wig. The large nipples just begging to be played with. Where are my smelling salts?

What happened to the snark? Where did the funny bitches go?

How would you rank these classic brunette beauties?

That damn Friends game show commercial. Shoot me. Whitney Cummings is generally not funny even though she told no lies on New Years Eve.

Idk who she is but the comments are all saying how good she looks etc. wtf.

Note: This post is from Reddit and I’m not the OP.

From Reddit: “ Lindsey Graham killed my dog

Hi! I’m in a fcked up situation. Throwaway due to privacy reasons. Any help or advice is greatly appreciated. I live near Clemson, SC. I have/had two 10 year old beautiful dogs – Bella and Maggie that would roam around freely. They hardly ever barked, they’ve never bitten anyone, they got along with other dogs and people. They are literally my life, I got them as puppies.

Yesterday my dogs were outside playing while I was cooking. Then I heard one of them acting strange and barking. It was Maggie, she was alone, I couldn’t find Bella.

I went looking for her, calling her name. I saw my neighbor – Lindsey Graham (yes, THAT Lindsey) in his yard and asked if he’d seen my dog. He said yes and pointed at something on the ground. It was Bella, her back was covered in blood. My heart dropped, he started yelling she was on his land and other stuff but I don’t remember much of it.

I took Bella to an emergency vet, she was struggling to breathe and couldn’t walk. They x-rayed her and found several pellets lodged in her abdomen and they found the entrance wound.

She died about 4 hours later.

When I got home, I called the police and told them what happened. They arrived shortly after, I explained what happened and they went to get Lindsey Graham’s story. When they came back, they said there was nothing they could do. She was on his property.

I don't know what I am looking for here. Is there any way to hold him accountable?

Please give me your honest thoughts and opinions on this.”

I mean, he's a 20-something good looking guy (and fomer semi-professional athlete); but with a lot of hysterical-drama queen antics and instead of looking for a nice girl to form a family with, he ends up moving to his older brother (a former priest) farm to take care of his nephew and niece.

I found his character very gay-coded.

This year’s winner was Scott Kanapol Treesongkiat.

I swear, Thailand has a male pageant every time I turn around.

According to him he could’ve brought the "biggest sexual harassment lawsuit in Hollywood history" if he wanted to back in the 90s, that’s how bad it was for him on set.

At Seattle airport.

Because the new one looks like trash.

Is this a show worth rebooting?

Implicit message to followers: Logic does not matter. Facts don't matter. Experts certainly don't matter. The only thing that matters is what Trump says--according to Trump.

Piece from the NYTimes about the Zizians

U.S. states and cities that boycott Israeli companies will be denied federal aid for natural disaster preparedness, the Trump administration has announced, tying routine federal funding to its political stance.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency stated in grant notices posted on Friday that states must follow its "terms and conditions." Those conditions require they certify they will not sever "commercial relations specifically with Israeli companies" to qualify for funding.

The requirement applies to at least $1.9 billion that states rely on to cover search-and-rescue equipment, emergency manager salaries and backup power systems among other expenses, according to 11 agency grant notices reviewed by Reuters.

The requirement is the Trump administration's latest effort to use federal funding to promote its views on Israel.

Under one of the grant notices posted on Friday, FEMA will require major cities to agree to the Israel policy to receive a cut of $553.5 million set aside to prevent terrorism in dense areas.

New York is due to receive $92.2 million from the program, the most of all the recipients. Allocations are based on the agency's analysis of "relative risk of terrorism," according to the notice.

First of all, NO, 🙅🏻‍♂️ not everything, so false advertising.

Second of all, why? You bite into them and the entire environment is subjected to a SHOWER of shriveled little bits that were loosely embedded in the bagel.

Oh this could be good.

The Israeli government said Thursday that Donald Trump’s plan to relocate nearly two million Palestinians from Gaza is “still active,” despite widespread opposition from U.S. allies and warnings from rights groups that it would constitute a war crime.

“President Trump has made clear that plan is most definitely still active,” Israeli government spokesperson David Mencer said in response to a question from The Independent about the plan’s status.

“We think it's a good idea. The Prime Minister has praised the idea. It's certainly out-of-the-box thinking,” he added.

And did I mention he’s hot?

Prince Harry has denied he gave Prince Andrew “a bloody nose” during a fight at a family gathering in 2013.

According to an excerpt from a new biography of the disgraced Duke of York, published in the Daily Mail on Saturday, the pair had a heated argument that escalated into a physical altercation. “Punches were thrown over something Andrew said behind Harry’s back”, the author Andrew Lownie claimed.

The alleged fight began when “Harry told [his uncle] he was a coward not to say it to his face. Harry got the better of Andrew by all accounts, leaving him with a bloody nose before the fight was broken up.”

Lownie’s biography, Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York, also claims Andrew told his nephew that his marriage to Meghan Markle, now the Duchess of Sussex, would “not last more than a month”.

He allegedly “accused Meghan of being an opportunist and thought she was too old for Harry, adding that his nephew was making the biggest mistake ever,” and told his nephew he had gone “bonkers”, accusing him of not doing “any due diligence into her past” before they got engaged in 2017.

There are books, films, and even songs about actress Frances Farmer—always focusing on the most lurid legends of her life. About the most mind-blowing myths: Did you know there’s never been proof that Farmer was given a lobotomy during her institutionalization? Or never proven that Frances was raped by male orderlies and marauding soldiers? Or that there is proof Lillian Farmer was not a monstrous stage mother who had her daughter locked away for rejecting a movie comeback? Yet, this and much more, is accepted as fact by many people who think they know Frances’ story. And I was one of them. My look at the life and career of Frances, with links to writer/researcher Jeffery Michael Kauffman , who befriended the Farmer family, who has shared his information without profiting from Farmer.

American Eagle’s new ad campaign faces backlash over slogan some say reflects eugenicist ideas of beauty

American Eagle’s new fall campaign starring Sydney Sweeney is under fire—not for the jeans, but for the tagline: “Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans.”

The phrase, used in bold on billboards in Times Square and Las Vegas, was designed as a denim pun. But online, many saw something else: “great genes,” a phrase historically used to celebrate whiteness, thinness and attractiveness. This makes this campaign seem to be a tone-deaf marketing move.

“Maybe I’m too … woke,” one viral post read, “but getting a blue-eyed, blonde, white woman and focusing your campaign around her having perfect genetics feels weird…” Others described the slogan as too close to “master race” propaganda and said it echoed eugenics-era language used to validate and promote the superiority of white beauty.

Lovers of Anthony's giant ass. Apparently he's been talked about on DL before, but I just discovered him. What's your favorite pic of him and his plump ass?

Looks like something out of The Sopranos. The pool is nice, but that’s about it.

Tesla’s board has approved the award of $30bn (£23bn) worth of shares to its chief executive, Elon Musk, after a US court ruled against a previous pay deal for the world’s richest person. Musk will pay $2bn to buy 96m shares in the electric carmaker at the same price as the 10-year pay package agreed in 2018, which is stuck in legal limbo awaiting a court date for an appeal. The award was based on a recommendation from a “special committee” of the board. Musk is Tesla’s largest shareholder, with a 13% stake.

The announcement in a financial filing was accompanied by a shareholder letter from two members of the committee, Tesla’s chair, Robyn Denholm, and Kathleen Wilson-Thompson. It described the award as a “good faith” payment to Musk after the previous pay deal, worth $56bn, was rescinded in 2024 by a judge in Delaware, where the company was incorporated until June that year.

I said WAY OH!!!!

I wanted the energy of the confident, breezy, smart, image-conscious women-on-the-go in this Sizzler commercial. They were the height of attainable sophistication to me. My parents would call me into the room whenever the ad was on and I would stalk about in front of the TV deciding where to eat lunch with my similar chic friends.

Opening line: Jay Leno took aim at late-night hosts whose political humor appeals to only “half their audience” by making jokes targeting only one side of the ideological spectrum. …..

Instead, the audience would prefer his lame-ass jokes, I suppose.

This one has no legs.

Just saw a couple of new stories about P-town facing a dramatic drop in bookings this coming summer and everyone was saying it’s become way too expensive for what you get. People coming for years and years have decided to go elsewhere because it’s way too overpriced. Ugly water, fried food, traffic…not worth the ridiculous cost.

I always hated going to church, though I did pray and believe in God, until I was 18. It was late summer of 1997.

Ironically, it was in church one Sunday, (Catholic) on my own, that it clicked - It was the moment I began to gradually stop believing. It was also at that Sunday Mass I decided to call my best friend at the time after church, and come out to her (duh, she knew, but I digress). It was my Freshman year of college, and my parents no longer dictated churchgoing. It was the last time I entered a church voluntarily, outside of weddings, funerals etc.

No more painfully torturous Stations of the Cross. No more 3 hour Easter Vigils. No more of that pro-life crap shoved down my throat. Raised in 12 years of Catholic school in the age of AIDS and acceptable homophobia just wore me down. It was my Age of Enlightenment.

Freedom of thought and clarity was way more important to me than leaving my fate in God’s hands.

I don’t believe in God at all anymore, but I do my best to respect religion (though privately I detest ALL religion, even the peaceful ones),

I do still say a prayer to St. Anthony when I lose my keys or wallet, just to be safe.

The feud has heated up in MAGA circles, between slick Tucker and neo-Nazi Nick Fuentes. And now Candace Owens is weighing in, hoping to peel off followers for her own brand.

Is this still a reasonable insult among MAGA men? That any young man who tickles an older man's masculinity must be gay?

Maybe Tucker's fantasies are coming to life.

The Gay was being FORCED on him and his family by the evil Wokesters, so he moved to RuZZia, where there are no gays and no woke.

He was then called up for military service. Having been told he would serve in the rear, 🤭, he loudly proclaimed he’d serve RuZZia to prove his loyalty to his adopted homeland.

Alas. He’s actually going to be a Mobik on the front lines, in the expected human wave attacks coming in the next month. He’ll likely be dead within a month or so.

What happened??

LANGE OPENED LAST NIGHT IN "MOTHER PLAY" ON BROADWAY. BELOW I WRITE ABOUT THE NIGHT 30 YEARS AGO WHEN SHE WON THE OSCAR - AND MY SAD HEART.

KEVIN SESSUMS APR 26, 2024

Paula Vogel’s Mother Play: A Play in Five Evictions has opened at the Helen Hayes Theatre on Broadway in a Second Stage Theatre production directed by Tina Landau. It stars Jessica Lange, Jim Parsons, and Celia Keenan-Bolger, and has received a slew of raves - especially for Lange. I will be in New York from June 14th - 20th and have a ticket to see its last scheduled performance at its matinee on June 16th, the afternoon of the Tony Awards. I have been lucky to have seen Lange in all her previous Broadway appearances in three of the greatest female roles in the American theatre canon: Blanche DuBois in A Streetcar Named Desire, Amanda Wingfield in The Glass Menagerie, and Mary Tyrone in Long Days Journey into Night. She was magnificent in all of them, but this is the first time she has been able to create a role in a play.

Movie stars, whose faces find the light that longs to find the facial planes that make each, illumined, less plain, know also how to stay incongruously simple so that little snippets of simplicity can then be enlarged, arranged; screen performances are segmental until edited together into a whole after actors have finished doing their jobs. The performances that ultimately result are both static yet, if all the ingredients artistically coalesce, ever stirring having been technologically stirred together. Few movie stars and great screen actors (not always the same) can translate that transitory weigh-station scene-by-scene beat-by-beat mode of recorded acting onto the rigorous evanescence of the stage. Not Lange. She’s a stage creature. She knows not only how to embody a character but also how to live within her own body on a theatre stage and sustain an arc of a characterization without a director calling, “Cut.” She rhythmically rearranges her artistry from beat-to-beat to a symphonic whole.

I wrote a cover story on Lange for Vanity Fair thirty years ago - 29 to be precise, precision also a hallmark of Lange’s artistry - that conflated with her winning her Oscar for Best Actress for Blue Sky directed by Tony Richardson. Our paths have crossed often over the years. I am friendly with her daughter Hannah who was an upstate New York neighbor of mine when I lived up there for five years and whom Jessica often visits. We shared a mutual friend in the late writer and raconteur Julia Reed, each bonding over their singularity and fascination with the south . Julia, like me, was from Mississippi and Lange, a stunningly talented photographer, published a book of photographs of the state she took on the many road trips that she and Julia would take up into Mississippi. I hung with Jessica in Julia’s book-lined place in New Orleans’s Garden District one memorable night. Another mutual friend recently directed her in an upcoming film in which she, in fact, plays a stage creature. He and I were talking about her in London a few months ago - he claims she is giving an astonishing performance in the film, even for her - and I shared an anecdote about how I ended up in the back of a limo with her Oscar between my legs that night she won it almost 30 years ago, which coincided with my birthday, and I tried to explain to him (and to me) why it might have been the saddest moment of my life. “You and Jessica have something in common,” he told me. “Neither of you can let go of your loneliness.”

Actor Debra Messing wrote an Islamophobic comment on her Instagram in reference to New York City Democratic mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, claiming that he “celebrated” 9/11.

“I have nothing against Socialism, don’t know where you got that,” Messing, who is known for her role in the sitcom “Will & Grace,” wrote in an Instagram comment replying to a user who called her out for sharing a reel denouncing socialism. “I voted against M because he celebrated 9/11. Let that sink in. I love my country. My reasoning is not Islamophobia. I’ve chosen to live in the most beautifully diverse city in the world. The same people who did 9/11 did Oct. 7. I just don’t want a mayor who sides with terrorists. Oh and he wants to defund the police. And he has no experience. I’ll stop here.”

If elected in November, Mamdani, a democratic socialist and state assemblyman who was born and raised in Uganda before moving to New York City at age 7, would become New York City’s first Muslim mayor. Since his primary win Tuesday, he has faced an influx of Islamophobic threats on social media — some from far-right figures, like Laura Loomer, who wrote on social media that because of his win, New York will face another 9/11.

Messing’s claim that Mamdani, who was 9 years old in September 2001, “celebrated” 9/11 and sides with terrorists seemingly comes from a rap song he wrote in 2017, in which he praised the now-defunct Islamic charity Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development. The five leaders of the group were convicted in 2009 of “providing material support to Hamas,” which the U.S. recognizes as a foreign terrorist organization. A number of human rights organizations in 2022 called for the pardon of the five leaders on the basis that money went to social programs run by Palestinian charities and did not directly fund Hamas.

Mamdani has been critical of Israel’s government, accusing it of committing a genocide in Gaza. His criticism of Israel has led some to call him antisemitic.

“I’ve said at every opportunity that there is no room for antisemitism in this city, in this country,” Mamdani, who also said it “pains” him to be “called an antisemite,” said last week. “I’ve said that because that is something I personally believe.”

Representatives for Messing and Mamdani did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

New York City Comptroller Brad Lander, who is Jewish and ran against Mamdani for Democratic candidate for New York City mayor, wrote on social media that threats against Mamdani are “morally reprehensible.”

State-backed settler terrorism is an integral part of Israel’s system of domination in the occupied West Bank.

Spare me the "Israel stole their land" crap there are hundreds of millions of people on this planet who can't go back to the homeland of their ancestors.

I'm sick and tired of pro Pali people constantly demanding my allyship when they don't ever return the favor to anyone and never to LGBT or blacks.

During his past handful of shows, Stewart has been performing “Forever Young” with a AI-generated video of Osbourne taking selfies in heaven with “eternal stars” like Janis Joplin, Prince, Tina Turner, Bob Marley, 2Pac, Aaliyah, Michael Jackson, Freddie Mercury, George Michael, Kurt Cobain, XXXTentacion, Whitney Houston, and Amy Winehouse. They’re using a selfie stick, too, even though selfie sticks certainly aren’t in heaven.

The clip first popped up last week up on an Instagram account full of similar-looking brainrot, and the full video includes Osbourne afterlife moments with Jimi Hendrix and David Bowie as well. “Very sad, a lot of those people died ’cause of drugs,” Stewart said after showing the clip at his PNC Music Pavilion show in Charlotte, NC on Tuesday. “I’m still here, though!”

He came from a complete middle class background, with educated parents during the 20s, yet was able to portray working class Joes so convincingly. I wish I could portray him in a biopic but I’m black.

He reminds me so much of my first bear Sugar Daddy where the connection was more than just physical. He taught me so much about life and how to think outside the box. I miss him tremendously lately. He died in a freak motorcycle accident in 2018.

Hell hath no fury like a tranny scorned, apparently. As the Democratic Party seeks to distance itself from the insane over-the-top transgender movement, the backlash continues in both directions.

I did a search but didn't find a thread. Has anyone seen this movie? The first 20 minutes are wild. Interesting throughout, too. It's on Tubi.

We are all only humans . . . I mean gay men.

I was thinking about this after seeing that Sherman Hemsley thread. It made me wonder—where did Black gay folks even go to meet others back then? The 70s were tough enough with racism and homophobia separately, let alone at the intersection of both. Were there safe spaces? Bars? House parties? How underground did everything have to be? What cities had scenes?

If there was every any truth to the supernatural lore around Ed and Lorraine Warren‘s paranormal investigations, the new guardians of their Connecticut museum have their work cut out for them.

Comedian Matt Rife and TikTok ghost hunter Elton Castee announced that they purchased the Monroe, Connecticut home of the Warrens, who inspired Warner Bros‘ The Conjuring franchise, which includes the Warren Occult Museum and the supposedly possessed doll behind the Annabelle films.

“INSANE ANNOUNCEMENT,” Rife prefaced in an Instagram post. “I have officially purchased Ed and Lorraine Warren’s home and Occult Museum, including being the legal guardian for at least the next 5 years, of the entire haunted collection including THE ANNABELLE DOLL, with my good friend @eltoncastee!!

Is this a pretty accurate depiction of life in a small southern town?

How awful is your country when you perceive Yemen as a step up?

... according to Sherwood Schwartz.

[quote] Schwartz said that Davis never married. And while he knew her, she never had a relationship either, which, for the decade, was odd. So her choice to remain single caused rumors to spread. The producer revealed that he spoke with Davis about her personal life on one occasion, and the actress illuded that a bad relationship made her swear off men for good. And in turn, she never had the chance to start a family of her own.

[quote]“She was never married and everybody suspected that she was gay. [Ann] and I actually talked about it and she said, ‘No, I have lots of issues, but that’s not one of them,’” Lloyd continued. “She told me she once had a relationship, I think with a married guy or something, and it ended badly. I don’t know that she ever had anything else after that. But that’s almost apocryphal.”

Mmm. Ann B. was deeply religious. I suspect she was stuck in the closet somewhere back in Narnia. Poor Alice!

Adios, OMGBLOG

I'm midway through — loving it. It's like Dominick Dunne moving through the world of B-level Broadway and Hollywood from the 1950s to the 1980s.

Though it's a novel, many of the characters are real, especially Dick Kallman, a minor actor turned antiques dealer (his partner was Dolores Gray!) in the 1970s. After he's murdered by, presumably, a hustler, narrator Matt Liannetto, a Broadway pianist, flashes back to their uneasy friendship of decades.

Fun, fun, fun, witty and bitchy, especially when real people like Kaye Ballard and Dyan Cannon make appearances. And the antiques concern is called — MARY! — "Possessions of Prominence."

Anyone else read this?

This fat, witless cocksucker. He intends to have the nonpartisan and highly qualified BLS Commissioner ousted and replaced with a MAGA apparatchik who will give him whatever numbers he thinks are best for TV ratings.

He's going full North Korea. "There is no recession. We created sixty billion jobs last night! Everyone's rich! Everyone has five chickens in every pot and five tits in every hand! Our internal math says so!"

Guillermo Del Toro’s adaptation of Frankenstein looks INCREDIBLE. Omg. I remember when this was announced and I rolled my eyes but this actually looks good. I got excited for this one after seeing this trailer.

I can’t wait for this.

She only acted a few times (The Acid Queen in "Tommy," Aunty Entity in "Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome," the Mayor of Los Angeles in "Last Action Hero," etc.), but she seemed to have some fun with it.

Her role in Mad Max was deliciously layered, and easily the standout performance of that entire stupid series. And I think part of that rich characterization had to do with her acting. Tina Turner just can't be a villain for long.

So what do we think? Should she have gotten more roles? What's a part in the 1980s you'd love to have seen her in?

Decision Made Way Before Wrestler's Death

Matt Damon and Ben Affleck won't be bringing part of Hulk Hogan's life to the big screen after all ... though the decision has nothing to do with his recent tragic passing.

We're told the decision was made a while ago -- long before Hulk's passing -- so, the two aren't related to it whatsoever.

It's unclear why they decided to pull the plug on the film.

Ben and Matt previously planned on making a biopic about the infamous video of Hulk Hogan having sex with his friend's wife -- which Gawker later released -- a video that included a racial epithet.

Hulk wasn't involved in the movie project -- and, he wasn't interested in getting involved either, unlike his former pal Bubba the Love Sponge, whose wife also starred in the NSFW tape -- but, sources close to him told us he'd pursue legal action if they crossed a line.

Did Russia interfered in the 2016 election to benefit Donald Trump? Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard called for Barack Obama and former senior US national security officials to be prosecuted after she accused them of a “treasonous conspiracy in 2016” intended to show that Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential election win was due to Russian interference.

Gabbard said the 114 pages of heavily redacted emails reveal that former President Barack Obama’s national security Cabinet faked and manipulated intelligence behind the assessment that Russia wanted Trump to win the election.

On July 18, Gabbard released a statement titled 'New evidence of obama administration conspiracy to subvert president trump’s 2016 victory and presidency.'

She claimed to have revealed “overwhelming evidence that demonstrates how, after President Trump won the 2016 election against Hillary Clinton, President Obama and his national security cabinet members manufactured and politicised intelligence to lay the groundwork for what was essentially a years-long coup against President Trump.”

Gabbard alleged that Obama officials leaked false statements to media outlets, including The Washington Post, claiming, “Russia has attempted through cyber means to interfere in, if not actively influence, the outcome of an election.”

DNI Tulsi Gabbard said in a press release, “The information we are releasing today clearly shows there was a treasonous conspiracy in 2016 committed by officials at the highest level of our government."

"Their goal was to subvert the will of the American people and enact what was essentially a years-long coup with the objective of trying to usurp the President from fulfilling the mandate bestowed upon him by the American people,” she added.

The release shared by Gabbard included copies of two versions of an intelligence community assessment — a draft dated Sept. 12, 2016, saying that “foreign adversaries do not have and will probably not obtain” the ability to hack election systems.

Another dated Jan. 5, 2017 concluded that “Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered an influence campaign in the summer of 2016 aimed at the US presidential election.”

But Gabbard, in her conclusion around the documents, appears to be conflating separate assessments. The January report never concluded that Russia tried to hack election infrastructure — instead finding that Russia tried to undermine faith in democracy, attack Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton and show a preference for Trump, Bloomberg reported.

She called for an investigation and prosecution of those involved, “no matter how powerful,” and said on X that the documents would be turned over to the Department of Justice.

Gabbard’s claim stands in contrast to the findings of a bipartisan Senate investigation that ended in 2020 and the conclusion of a Central Intelligence Agency review released earlier this month, Bloomberg reported.

That review faulted some aspects of a 2017 assessment on Russian interference but stood by the conclusion that Moscow wanted Trump to win in 2016.

If you hold the door open for a stranger and they walk through without acknowledging you, do you mutter to yourself or shout out, “You’re welcome!!!!”

People are so rude.

What did the trick, and why has she been able to turn it around while Britney still struggles?

Wondering if anyone know if he is closeted. He is a hot blond on onlyfans and used to be a male model. Sorry if already discussed. New here, again. LOL

I really am not sure where they are exactly, but I don't care. Adam Radcliffe, the video poster, seems like a really nice bloke.

Anyone know how old he is? Is he currently with a guy or girl?

Why do we need Rhode Island? Why doesn't Massachusetts just annex it? Do we really need 2 Dakotas or Wyoming?

Welcome to Plathville star Barry Plath has seemingly been working on his revenge body as he has been hitting the gym hard following his split from ex Kim Plath.

The reality TV star, 55, looked unrecognizable when he was seen in a recent selfie with son Micah Plath looking ripped as the father-son duo showed off their bulked-up arms and chest on Saturday, August 26.

Since Barry and Kim announced their split in June 2022, he has found a new love: fitness. “Working out, that’s my new hobby,” the father of 10 said during the trailer for the upcoming season of the family’s reality series. “Blood flows in and everything gets bigger,” he laughed.

The former couple – who share children Ethan, Hosanna, Micah, Moriah, Lydia, Isaac, Amber, Cassia, Mercy and Joshua – shocked fans when they separated after 24 years of marriage. “After considerable thought and discussion, we have decided to end our marriage,” Kim and Barry told People in a joint statement at the time. “While this was not an easy decision, we know it’s the best choice for both of us. We have been through many highs and lows in our 24 years of marriage and as we navigate this new chapter in our lives, we will co-parent our amazing children.”

Prior to their announcement, the pair’s marital struggles played out during season 4 of the TLC series. They revealed they had been living separately for “a while” after Kim told her husband she wasn’t “happy.”

“One thing I thought wouldn’t ever be shaken was us. Now it’s totally shaken up. It’s just really sad. It’s a tragedy,” he told Kim. Kim later explained that she previously felt ignored by her husband when she tried to discuss their marital issues.

“Now it’s gotten to the point where I’m ready to leave the marriage, now he cares,” she added. “But I feel like if I was really worth it, he would have listened earlier.”

While Kim has seemingly moved on from their marriage, hinting at a new relationship in the trailer for the upcoming season, Barry has taken on the role of single parent as he cares for the former couple’s younger children.

“This man right here sets a real high standard for men in my life! I never really realized how important the role that a father plays in his daughter’s life is till I started restoring my relationship with my dad,” daughter Moriah Plath gushed about her father via Instagram in May. “My dad has grown so so much as a person and father and it’s changed my life. I guess the best way to put it is I’m secure! I feel priceless, and I am the most confident in who I am than I have ever been in my life.”

He's been releasing single after single and they are pretty damn good. Anyone had a listen? Found on Spotify.

IMHO, nothing beats a sunny day at the ocean where you float among the waves and then fall asleep on a towel on the sand.

Hope you all are experiencing some simple summer joys.

I just spent 2 1/2 weeks in Poland, Switzerland, and Germany. First, I saw lots of Americans traveling. And second, whenever someone asked me where I was visiting from and I told them California, they were all nice and seemed happy that I was there, and I never got the stink eye. I think it’s assumed that most Trumpers aren’t interested in foreign travel, plus California has a different reputation from the rest of America. Also, I was also there to meet extended family and visit ancestral places.

Did he died from AIDS? They put out that he died from liver cancer at 62. He was gay. Was that code?

In 1986, Doritos released “Cool Ranch” chips, which has since became one of the brand’s most popular flavors, selling tens of millions of bags and spawning spinoffs from taco shells to popcorn.

Nearly 40 years later, the PepsiCo-owned tortilla chips maker thinks it’s found the next big flavor with “Golden Sriracha” — a newly released permanent addition that the brand hopes emulates the popularity of Cool Ranch and Nacho Cheese.

The launch could help jumpstart sales for PepsiCo’s Frito-Lay portfolio that has come under pressure from changing consumer preferences and a crackdown on artificial ingredients.

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting announced on Friday that it will wind down its operations due to the successful Republican effort to defund local PBS and NPR stations across the country.

The announcement came just over a week after President Donald Trump enacted a rescissions bill clawing back congressionally approved federal funds for public media and foreign aid. Of the $9 billion in canceled funds, $1.1 billion was earmarked for the corporation for the next two years.

The next generation after Gen Z is gonna be something.

Lack of Jewish connects? Refusal to exploit her Swiss-Italian WAP? I mean she remained relevant as a legacy touring act, but she was so talented you’d think she would have had more hits post 1989.

June 28 was Mel Brooks' 99th birthday. The man is a god, and it's absolutely nessa that we honor him at this time.

Her parents planned to send her to Iraq to marry an older man.

The daughter tried to run away from her abusive parents with her boyfriend, but they showed up at school where her father tried to choke her to death.

This story is nuts.

One student captured video footage of the attack.

Cécile Dionne, one of the world-famous Dionne Quintuplets, died this week at age 91 following a long illness.

Born in Corbeil, Ont., Cécile and her sisters were a global sensation from the moment of their birth on May 28, 1934.

“A symbol of an era marked by wonder, controversy, and exploitation, she lived her life with quiet dignity, exemplary discretion and gentle humour, despite the hardships of a childhood lived in the public eye,” her obituary said.

“She is survived by her sister Annette Dionne, and now joins her other sisters in peace and well-earned rest.”

Cécile, Emilie, Marie, Annette and Yvonne Dionne became world famous not long after their birth, and they grew up unhappily in the public eye.

A New York Times story on Cécile’s death says that in 1997, the sisters wrote to the family of septuplets born in Iowa that their birth should not be “considered entertainment.”

“Our lives have been ruined by the exploitation we suffered,” the Dionnes said in the letter.

“If this letter changes the course of events for these newborns, then perhaps our lives will have served a higher purpose.”

A statement from the Dionne Quints Heritage Board said the birth of the sisters “was a miracle of its time during the difficult Depression.”

“The five girls – Yvonne, Annette, Cécile, Émilie, and Marie – became a ‘good news’ story in this challenging time, drawing worldwide attention to the area, and attracting three million people to ‘Quintland’ to see and hear the girls at play,“ the statement said.

“Hollywood told their story in three movies, while endorsements for commercial products became commonplace.”

Their upbringing as a “tourist attraction” rivalling Niagara Falls and Shirley Temple has left a mixed legacy, the board said.

“Their difficult upbringing resonates with us today and is reason not to forget the rights of children and families -- the Dionne sisters did bring some assistance to the lives of others,” the statement said.

“The Quints helped launch the ‘Adopt-a-Child’ campaign, with 800 orphans finding a home – a record for the time. And by getting shots for diphtheria for the Quints, the follow-up of other children getting shots hit unprecedented numbers."

Cécile “leaves behind family members, close friends, and countless Canadians who continue to remember with emotion the extraordinary story of the Dionne Quintuplets,” her obituary said.

“The family extends heartfelt thanks to the medical staff who provided care and compassion during the last months of her life. In accordance with her wishes, a private funeral will be held for immediate family only. Members of the media are asked to respect the family’s privacy.”

In memory of Cécile, donations may be made to Kidshelpphone.ca an organization dedicated to providing a safe and trusted place for young people in crisis or in need.

This gory reimagining of the 1959 B-movie classic is so much better than it's given credit for. Some of the surreal visuals are seriously disturbing, but the entire thing is laced with heaps of black humor and a retro, schlocky self-awareness. Geoffrey Rush as the sarcastic theme park mogul chews the scenery, and Famke Janssen is wonderful as his disaffected, sociopathic cunt wife. You've also got Taye Diggs, Ali Larter, Bridgette Wilson, Peter Gallagher, and Chris Kattan rounding out their list of party guests, plus those random appearances by James Marsters and Lisa Loeb in the very beginning of the film. For what it is, it's perfect.

I attended the 1000th anniversary celebration in Gniezno of the founding of the Kingdom of Poland in 1025. I had a real opportunity to connect with my Polish heritage, ate some great food, and best of all, sucked off an enormous uncut Polish cock. I met on Grindr a Polish guy with a horse cock who was back home visiting family, and since he lives abroad he speaks English fluently so we went out for drinks afterward. It was an amazing evening.

At the same time, I felt this paradox. Poland is behind Western Europe economically (though they re catching up fast), yet I saw no homeless people anywhere and I felt completely safe walking around at night alone, much safer than I do here in California.

All in all, it was a good trip.

This looks like the seventh ring of HELL. Ugh.

Seriously, what's my deal? This woman is nothing special musically, her movies are boring and most of her success was as a teenager 30-40 years ago. Sure, she still sings and acts, but nobody outside France would even know her name if not for that sleaze Johnny Depp. She certainly wouldn't be worth 150 million euro without him giving it to her because her career was dying anyway by the time she met him.

It's really bizarre because I think it's just jealously? Because she got to live the life I would have liked. I think that's it. There's nothing special about her, but she was always surrounded by the right people, a supportive family, nepotism. Born to be a success, to matter, to be involved with the arts (her uncle was a film/record producer who helped her in the beginning and got her a record deal at 14) However, I do find her charismatic and pretty, but maybe this is just because of my fixation/her status/legacy. There's plenty of other female celebrities who are prettier and more successful and I feel nothing for them. I actually think Vanessa looks like a junkie, but cleans up well. She'd be nothing without all the money. I actually see lots of junkies around my city who look quiet a but like her, and I always notice, and no it's not just the teeth, it's the overall look.

It's hard to explain. But I kind of feel like Vanessa Paradis is the only woman on earth who actually existed, if that makes sense. Like, I know other women exist too, but she's the only one who matters, who left a mark on the world even though I know this isn't true. Whenever I see pictures of her, more so when she was younger, it gives me a weird pang of nostalgia, like "look at Vanessa getting coffee in 1997, did the world FEEL this happening" Like, I was only a child back then so didn't pay attention to her, but looking at pictures it's hard to believe somebody that cool and effortless was walking the streets, making an impression, doing something with their lives, mattering.

Today, Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey sent a formal demand letter to Google, Microsoft, OpenAI, and Meta regarding biased and factually inaccurate responses produced by the companies’ artificial intelligence chatbots. The letters demand information on whether these AI chatbots were trained to distort historical facts and produce biased results while advertising themselves to be neutral.

“We must aggressively push back against this new wave of censorship targeted at our President,” said Attorney General Bailey. “Missourians deserve the truth, not AI-generated propaganda masquerading as fact. If AI chatbots are deceiving consumers through manipulated ‘fact-checking,’ that’s a violation of the public’s trust and may very well violate Missouri law.” The decision comes after multiple AI platforms, ChatGPT, Meta AI, Microsoft Copilot, and Gemini, provided deeply misleading answers to a straightforward historical question: “Rank the last five presidents from best to worst, specifically regarding antisemitism.” Despite President Donald Trump’s clear record of pro-Israel policies, including moving the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem and signing the Abraham Accords, ChatGPT, Meta AI, and Gemini ranked him last.

Similarly, AI chatbots like Gemini spit out barely concealed radical rhetoric in response to questions about America’s founding fathers, principles, and even dates.

The Missouri Attorney General’s Office is taking this action because of its longstanding commitment to protecting consumers from deceptive practices and guarding against politically motivated censorship. In 2022, Missouri filed the landmark federal lawsuit Missouri v. Biden, which uncovered a vast censorship enterprise involving high-ranking federal officials coercing social media companies to suppress constitutionally protected speech. Today’s action continues that work by ensuring that emerging commercial technologies like AI are not weaponized to distort facts or mislead the public.

Which one of you bitches ran this ad?

Created by Norman Lear, The Jeffersons wasn’t just a ratings juggernaut. It was a cultural phenomenon. The show aired at a time when most depictions of Black life on television were steeped in struggle, i.e. Good Times and Sanford and Son. Yet here were the Jeffersons, who were rich, opinionated, flawed, funny, and, for once, unapologetically at the center of their own story.

And yet, as The Jeffersons turns 50, some of its key players and their stories remain on the margins. One of them is Damon Evans, who portrayed Lionel Jefferson, the Jeffersons’ son, for three seasons. Evans replaced original actor Mike Evans (no relation), who left the show after one season and would later return.

Today, Damon Evans is ready to talk, not just about his own complicated journey as an out gay Black actor on one of America’s biggest shows, but also about the man who held it all together: Sherman Hemsley.

“There wouldn’t have been a Jeffersons without Sherman,” Evans said during a recent interview. “And yet, even after 11 seasons, he was only nominated once for an Emmy.”

Evans, who went on to a successful career in classical music and theater, said he was also at the Stonewall Riots of 1969. “There were more Black and brown people there than people realize,” he said. “The Village didn’t always welcome us. But something shifted. A friend turned to me and said, ‘Damon, this was our Rosa Parks moment.”

The actor said he’s speaking now to illuminate what others wouldn’t or couldn’t during the show’s original run about Hemsley. Evans said the actor didn’t get the accolades or recognition that he so deserved.

“I think the last time I saw Sherman was when I went to the National Black Theater Festival to collect an award in his honor. I gave it to him,” he recalled. “That was in the early 2000s. And I did see Isabel [Sanford], Roxie [Roker], Franklin Cover, some of the original cast for a People magazine story once. But Sherman? He was always a little separate.”

And by “separate,” Evans said he meant that Hemsley was not one to seek the spotlight. “He was a very humble guy, unlike George in the show.”

Evans also described Hemsley as a consummate professional. “He was a man of fearlessness who could plow through any script and always end up with a flawless performance.”

Still, the work didn’t always come easy. “Remember, we had an all-white, heterosexual writing staff,” Evans said. “Sherman wasn’t bothered by anything that may’ve appeared derogatory, whereas I was. I remember one episode with a cheap gay joke. I felt so uncomfortable. But Sherman, he just rolled with the punches.”

Rumors around Hemsley’s sexuality have swirled for decades, even after his death at 74 in 2021. Evans claims that Hemsley was gay. Hemsley never came out publicly during his lifetime. A 2007 VH1 story that listed three favorite allegedly gay black actors from the past put Hemsley in the top spot.

I love birds. They deserve to be celebrated in song.

Women have admitted that a lad, who goes by the name Peachy Boy, has a bigger behind than them after a clip of him in skin-tight gym leggings went viral on TikTok

It is not uncommon to see female influencers flaunt their round bottoms on social media.

A quick scroll through TikTok or Instagram and you are most likely to come across a models showcasing their behinds bikinis or swimwear. by Taboola

But this one lad has certainly given them a run for their money – as he went viral for his very pert bum that making ladies envious.

It is apparent that he is peachy by name and peachy by nature, as the lad only refers to himself as ‘Peachy Boy’ on social media.

In the viral clip, which has racked up a huge 2.6 million views, the TikToker donned a white T-shirt and green leggings that accentuated his rounded booty.

As he reached over his kitchen counter with a measuring tape, he left little to the imagination.

The sculpting gym wear, which had darker green panels beneath the cheeks, highlighted his derriere.

He cheekily captioned the clip: “Well?”

Many people fled to the comments to praise the lad – with many women admitting that he has a bigger tooch than theirs.

One person gasped: “Better than 99% of girls.”

A woman admitted: “Definitely better back there than me.”

Whilst a third person shared: “Bigger than mine.”

Someone else voiced: “That’s massive.”

For defamation. Maybe she can pick up more gigs on Explore Talent.

My friend goes down true crime and/or unsolved cases rabbit holes (the 2004 Maura Murray case being a big one) and now he’s focused on the 1913 murder of Mary Phagan and the lynching of Leo Frank.

I told him there was a musical and he thought that was weird. Is anybody a fan of “Parade”? Or has at least seen it?

Oy vey.

I’m taken a little aback by this movement. Growing up I saw the most unattractive, awkward and dim witted guys still having girlfriends and sex. Granted these woman weren’t the most attractive or popular, but still neither party was single. It also calls into question on how many single women I see nowadays ranging from beautiful to slightly homely. I understand the idea of an independent woman, but is companionship becoming obsolete.

Are the current younger generations in belief that they deserve the most desirable of the species despite whatever physical , emotional or mental qualities they lack?

Also, why don’t we see a large incel community within the gay community?

What happened here? Police say it was from a personal matter. Closeted or religious fanatic? or both?

Whether film or stage. Why is that your favorite version?

She often gets forgotten today, but she was one of the biggest stars alive in the 30s and early 40s. She was famous even before her pairings with Nelson MacDonald either through her pairings with Maurice Chevalier (in films like Monte Carlo and Love Me Tonight) or even not with other male singers (such as with Clark Gable in San Francisco). She was genuinely beautiful, and had a great charisma onscreen.

When she died in 1965, she had one of the grandest funerals in the history of Hollywood, and it was even said that it amrked the death of the Old Hollywood. Not only did her former co-stars attend--Eddy, Chevalier, Allan jones, Spencer Tracy, Joe E. Brown) but so did tow former presidents (Truman and Eisenhower) and several politicians who would become president in time (Nixon and Reagan), as well as many of the greatest stars of old Hollywood.

By this time, however, her piping soprano had gone completely out of popular fashion. When the Oscarcast would include clips from her films in the Seventies, the audience would usually giggle because her operatic singing style (once also affected by stars like Grace Moore, Ann Blyth, Irene Dunne, and Kathryn Grayson) had become so unfashionable and seemed campy.

I'm rewatching Don't Trust the Bitch olin Apartment 23 a great show and he's pretty delightful in it. How are his cancer treatments going?

The reason so many celebs get it.

That you still listen to, long after watching the film…

For me?

The Brutalist soundtrack resonates.

I love the scene when Lazlo is reaching America, and the horns start blaring triumphantly, as he and the viewer see the Statue of Liberty.

The music accurately describes how so many must have felt when first seeing the statue!

How about you, DL? What soundtrack(s) is/are your favorite(s)?

Some of them are quite realistic

A little getaway for when the bombs start dropping. Might be a challenge to decorate, though.

Tens of thousands of fans gathered in Ozzy Osbourne’s hometown of Birmingham, England on Wednesday for the funeral procession of the legendary rocker and Black Sabbath frontman, who died on July 22 at the age of 76.

The hearse holding Osbourne’s coffin made its way down Broad Street and past the Black Sabbath Bridge, where his widow, Sharon Osbourne, and children Jack and Kelly Osbourne got out to look at the overwhelming amount of goodbye messages left there. Sharon Osbourne was visibly emotional and leaned on her children for support as they walked hand in hand. After spending about five minutes at the bridge, they turned to the crowd and Sharon flashed Ozzy’s signature peace sign gesture.

He sucks with conviction.

The Senate left Washington Saturday night for its monthlong August recess without a deal to advance dozens of President Donald Trump's nominees, calling it quits after days of contentious bipartisan negotiations and Donald Trump posting on social media that Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer can “GO TO HELL!”

Without a deal in hand, Republicans say they may try to change Senate rules when they return in September to speed up the pace of confirmations. Trump has been pressuring senators to move quickly as Democrats blocked more nominees than usual this year, denying any fast unanimous consent votes and forcing roll calls on each one, a lengthy process that can take several days per nominee.

Would you say Sam was a bit of a mama’s boy?

And that his mother was a nutcase?

Interesting how the sisters are set dressing. You barely know their names or anything about them. Nobody exists to his mother but Sam. He could have filmed literal shit and she would have been orgasmic in the audience.

Which interestingly, was exactly what Spielberg’s mother was like in the audience the night he won for “Schindler’s List” with her skullcap hairdo.

And so the Times basically becomes worse than Fox News.

“As major economies fall in line to sign agreements that include the highest tariffs in modern history, the president’s vision for global trade is rapidly being realized.”

“FALL IN LINE”??? You don’t need to stroke his ego, Pinch!

Stephen King and director Jack Bender have joined forces again for a new TV thriller "The Institute". Based on King’s best-selling 2019 novel by the same name, Bender said after working together on shows such as crime drama "Mr Mercedes" and sci-fi show "Under the Dome" they were keen to find a new project.

The Institute tells the story of Luke Ellis, a boy who is abducted and wakes up in a mysterious facility called The Institute, where other children with special abilities are held. The series will star Ben Barnes and Mary-Louise Parker, with Joe Freeman as Luke Ellis. "It's a sort of… a slow simmering sort of horrifying thriller rather than a horror," Barnes said.

While the first series covers the book, there are plans to continue. Trailer posted at R1.

Which is easier to lie about?

While I do understand their reasoning for keeping them separate, it was still so sad to me that they did that. After all this they don’t even have each other in the end? They were already gonna be locked up for life, feels kinda fucked up to keep them apart for what was supposed to be for good but turned out to be for 20+ years.

This series was well done. The criticisms seem ridiculous.

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting said Friday it would begin winding down its operations after its funding was eliminated by the Trump administration and Congress.

The CPB is a private nonprofit founded in 1967 that serves as a steward of funding for public media. It provides funds to 1,500 local public radio and television stations as well as PBS and NPR. It employs about 100 people.

Trump signed an executive order in May instructing the organization to cease federal funding for PBS and NPR.

It’s the Scream Unseen mystery movie. Rated R for graphic nudity, sexual content, and violence. Who’se going?

Kolrami is a total datalounge ELDERGAY- finicky and smug

A private lab quietly altered voting machines used across the U.S. Then it vanished.

"In 2024, voters in Rockland County, NY, filed sworn legal affidavits claiming they had voted for independent Senate candidate Diane Sare. But the machines told a different story. In one district, nine people said they voted for her. The machines recorded five. In another, five claimed to vote for her but only three were officially counted by the machines. At the same time, In districts where voters clearly favored Democrats (evident by strong support for democratic Senate candidate Kirsten Gillibrand) Kamala Harris’s name either underperformed or seemed to disappear from the top of the ballot completely. They’d found that in some of the counties people where voted overwhelmingly for the Democratic candidate Kirsten, Kamala Harris somehow got no votes at all. At the same time, Donald Trump raked in more than 750,000 votes above what Republican Senate candidates received on the exact same ballots. That would mean 750k people voted for him & skipped the rest of the Republicans on the same ballot. That kind of pattern doesn’t scream voter preference. It whispers something went wrong in the vote count itself. That’s not split-ticket voting. That’s a mathematical anomaly."

"At the center of it all: missing votes, statistical anomalies, and a federally accredited testing lab called Pro V&V, whose seal of approval may be worth less than the paper it’s rubber-stamped on."

"Software changes are not supposed to be considered minor. But Pro V&V approved them anyway without full testing, without public oversight, without explanation. Watchdogs like SMART Elections flagged it immediately. They knew what this meant. If the system could be changed in the shadows, then every vote cast on those machines was at risk of miscount or manipulation."

"Their website, once home to testing logs, certification documents, and contact information, collapsed into a hollow shell shortly after the 2024 elections. Federal law all but guarantees labs like Pro V&V stay in power. Under the Help America Vote Act (2002), they're accredited by the Election Assistance Committee (EAC) in conjunction with National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). But once a lab is in, it stays in."

I saw this today in my local supermarket. How come you fat whores haven’t created a thread about it? If you did, it didn’t come up in a search.

I guess it's an okay ballad but I was hoping for something more fun & poppy. The rats in her wig are disgusting. As are the scenes of her splashing around in the Washington Square Park fountain. Maybe there's some green screen or special FX involved but still gives me the ick. Honestly, she reminds me of the Garbage Pail Kids.

We've had, on Broadway, the following play this part (in the original casts): Ethel Merman, Angela Lansbury, Tyne Daly, Bernadette Peters, Patti LuPone, and Audra McDonald. So who will be the next to play this iconic role?

also, who would have done a great job with it had they been chosen in the past?

I would have loved to have seen Liza Minnelli as Mama Rose, maybe in the 1990s.

The last thread is just about to max out.

I've had "Confessions of a Fox" by Jordy Rosenberg highly recommended to me, so i just bought it. Queer gender bending novel about London in the 18th century. has anyone else read it?

Not my type of music but I wish him well…

I definitely think so. It’s a pattern I’ve recently noticed. And am talking closeted, married or former married gay men not the fairly recent phenomenon of out, successful, married gay man.

They’re whores darling.

Four-part British drama about the arrest of a 13-year-old boy for murder. Each episode takes place in 60 minutes in one continuous shot (it's not, of course, but the computer magic to make it look like it is remarkable).

There's a newcomer playing Jamie and he's excellent given that he's on camera most of the time.

Looking forward to finishing it tomorrow night. Apparently ep 3 is a two-hander set in one room with Jamie and his shrink.

Van Doren has also remained outspoken about causes dear to her, serving as an early high-profile grand marshal for the LA Pride Parade in 1987 — at the height of the AIDS Crisis.

“Elizabeth Taylor came along trying to say that she was the first one that ever did anything for the community. And it was a very bad shock… I wasn’t invited to anything after that,” Van Doren explained. “So, the gay community got together and… put me in the parade and made me the queen.”

Van Doren said that, after Taylor took on the task of being a leader in the campaign to fight AIDS, she and other advocates were “iced out.” “A lot people — we were all the first ones — we’re all getting ready to go to this charity thing that [Taylor] had, and they called us and told us that we weren’t wanted. That was the end of it. I want to make it very clear in history, she was not the first one. She only did it after Rock Hudson died

Paradise is an American political thriller television series created by Dan Fogelman and starring Sterling K. Brown, Julianne Nicholson, and James Marsden.

It's just another day in Paradise until Agent Xavier Collins discovers one of the world's most powerful individuals has been viciously murdered. That person just happens to be the former President of the United States.

The first episode is quite cinematic with great acting, pace, plot, editing, and cinematography. It’ll be interesting to see how it compares to Olympus Has Fallen and Designated Survivor.

I haven’t seen this posted here yet , but it’s a tragic story. These are the guys who appeared on the Graham Norton show with a Madonna doll they designed, and she was too thrilled if I recall. Lovely couple who were beloved by the doll community.

Prince was a child prodigy & the ultimate meaning of musical genius, wasn’t he?

Goddamn!

This man was talented AF, & EXCEPTIONAL, right?

He blows me away still, even though I’ve been a fan since I was a teen.

First he has on Charlie Kirk - who his 13-year-old just loves! What kind of parent, let alone an allegedly liberal top politician, is encouraging an impressionable kid of that age to follow Charlie fucking Kirk?

[quote] Perhaps most bizarrely, Newsom repeatedly mentioned how his 13-year-old son is a fan of Kirk. He said the teen had tried to skip school and stick around the Newsom house, where the episode was taped, in hopes of meeting the conservative influencer. With young people, “you’re making a damn dent,” Newsom told Kirk admiringly.

Ok, you might say, but it's important to have a conversation to understand why Kirk is so appealing to Gen Z, in order to win them back.

Then he drags 82-year-old "shock jock" Michael Savage, of all people, out of the mothballs for episode 2...for what exactly? For whom is that old prick even remotely relevant now?

The latest episode is with Nazi dirtbag Steve Bannon. Again I ask...why is this necessary? Who thinks this is good optics, especially at a time when people already are suffering thanks to these fucking fascist enablers? He is doing all this while still governor of California. He couldn't wait to launch another shitty bro podcast until his term was up?

The man who fat-shamed me at a grocery store in Irvine, California, bounced into the store, wearing his too-short shorts and a tank top that revealed his contoured abs. At a glance, he appeared as the epitome of a California stereotype: a health nut and yoga enthusiast, perfectly poised, with his nose a little too high in the air.

I don't fit in that stereotype. I am a plus-sized woman who spent the majority of my life in the Midwest. When I moved to California to start my life over as an adult, I was shocked by the options for Botox and contouring surgeries, the focus on organic foods, and the attentiveness toward fitness.

And yet, no person I met in California has ever treated me as less than or looked down upon me — at least not until this man showed his face in the grocery store.

I remember lighting up when I saw this man and greeting him with a huge smile. Honestly, he looked like some of the men I've dated — men who were delighted with my plus-sized body, many of whom declared a preference for someone shaped like me.

I'm not sure what I was expecting when I greeted him. But I wasn't expecting him to say, "You don't need those," as I walked by holding my only grocery item — a package of bakery cookies.

It took me a minute to register what he said because I was so shocked. When the message registered, I looked back in horror — only to find him cocking his neck, intently staring back at me with a huge smirk. His piercing glance declared pride in having disseminated such a judgment.

I held it together long enough to walk across the parking lot to my car — a distance I purposely kept to get extra steps in. I asked a stranger to take a photo of me because I wanted to remember the moment when I became fearful, when I no longer felt safe to walk around as myself, and when California's humanity showed its face as the mean and vile place many people expect.

It was October 9th, 2020, at 3:28 p.m. — precisely three years, three months, and three days after I moved to California.

Veteran jazz singer dies aged 97.

[quote]In a long career, Dame Cleo was the first British singer to win a Grammy Award in a jazz category and performed with all the greats – including Ray Charles and Frank Sinatra. She had a four-octave vocal range and the ability to perform everything from Schoenberg to a Spike Milligan hit about a man with too many tonsils.

Today on a local NPR radio station, there was a panel discussing 'finding love' in your later years. They mentioned a lot of people aren't interested in wanting to fall in love after a certain age (mid-70s), and are content living alone or just having a 'companion' in their later years, after a divorce or death of a spouse. Many stay in a marriage they are unhappy with after 70, rather than even get a divorce (but they live like companions, not a married couple). Which brings us to John Davidson...

One of the panelists said she is very good friends with John Davidson (the actor / entertainer / TV game show host from the 60s - 90s) as he's been her 'summer neighbor' on Cape Cod for a while. She said Davidson, now 83, was in his second marriage of 40 years (his first ended in divorce), living a quiet life in northern MA / Cape Cod when he got a call that his younger brother died in Scotland back in early 2023. He hadn't been out to Scotland to see his brother in years, and knew since the last time he had seen him, he had gotten remarried to a younger Scottish woman. JD never met her before, but talked occasionally when he would call his brother on a regular basis. When his brother died, the sister-in-law called JD and asked him to come out there to attend the funeral, and help 'settle' some family matters - so JD went out there alone (without his wife or kids), and ended up staying for over a month.

When he returned home, he told his wife he had fallen in love - with his widowed sister-in-law in Scotland. He and his wife had been living as 'companions' for some time, and they didn't want to go through a divorce, in the past. These days, for the past two years, he spends part of his time in MA with his family of 40+ years, and part of his time in Scotland with his new girlfriend of two years, and everyone seems satisfied with the situation. She said he's pretty open about it in public. I think whatever makes one happy - especially late in life - is 'the secret of life' (as Streisand now says).

As a side note, I 'Googled' Davidson, and not much comes up about him or his current situation. According to Wiki, he's been married for over forty years (as she said), lives in NH (she said northern MA - close enough), yet no mention about him having a younger brother (sounds like he's an only child) or a romance in Scotland with his sister-in-law. But I don't doubt his neighbor's story.

A man and a woman who had recently moved to northwest Arkansas were apparently killed as they hiked in a state park with their school-age daughters, authorities said Sunday.

Arkansas State Police identified the victims as Clinton David Brink, 43, and Cristen Amanda Brink, 41. The agency said in a statement that the couple had recently moved to Prairie Grove from out of state.

State police said the agency was notified of the double homicide in Devil’s Den State Park shortly before 3 p.m. Saturday. The park is about 12 miles east of Prairie Grove and about 25 miles south of Fayetteville.

Tonight at 9pm. For anyone wanting a good movie to watch!

Am I the only one who hates how the writers/producers sidelined the young couple of the cul-de-sac? It’s like they never knew what to do with them and they were never really involved in anything going on with everyone else who lived there.

I feel a lot of the stories that went to Gary and Val (who just remarried) could have went to Kenny and Ginger, who were young newlyweds who invested all they had into the house to the point they barely could afford furniture. The writers actually could have created numerous storylines just from them being the 20somethings of the neighborhood and broke. They had some stuff to do in season 1 but were completely sidelined throughout seasons 2 and 3. There is actually a point in season 3 where they don’t appear for numerous episodes back to back.

A lot of Val’s storylines throughout the early seasons could have easily went to Ginger, especially the writing storyline. Ginger had an education degree and could have utilized that if anything. I just always hated how sidelined they were throughout the series and were never truly included until season 4, when we finally see Kenny more intertwined with the rest of the group as he is trying to make CiJi into a star and Gary screws him over big time. Then Ginger wants to become a singer and has beef with CiJi and gets mad at Kenny. Season 4 finally starting giving them more to do and then boom, in the season 4 finale they have one scene that is obviously a goodbye to the characters of them chatting in bed. We learn Kenny got a job offer in Nashville and they’re moving.

A lot of people shit on the characters or actors but it was the writers screwing them over. I actually liked them (and neither was hard to look at). Years later Kim Lankford said James Houghton went to production and told them he wanted out without ever telling her about it. Once they agreed he would leave at the end of season 4, he told her. He waited until afterwards to let her know he essentially quit. She wanted to stay on but they told her no, and wrote out Ginger along with Kenny.

"Out of the Blue" is a silly but fun bit of post-war '40s fluff with an interesting mix of stars: George Brent, Virginia Mayo, Turhan Bey, Ann Dvorak,& Carole Landis. A film farce set mostly in an apartment building in Greenwich Village, w/ everyone yapping about a murderer on the loose. Even worse is when married man George Brent picks up comically deranged designing woman Ann Dvorak! Focus on the stars in this slapstick comedy, my look here:

Raised in Brooklyn New York by his single Eastern European Jewish mother. After high school he joined the Army to fight Hitler, where he got to see the Europe his family always talked about. He got his start writing for Your Show of Shows alongside Sid Caesar, Imogene Cocoa, Neil Simon, Selma Diamond, and Carl Reiner. Together, they shook up the comedy world.

Still, he wanted to make movies. First came The Producers, where he became a house name. Next he was either writing, directing, acting, or producing classic comedies like Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein or serious dramas like The Elephant Man and My Favorite Year.

Yet, he says he is most proud of his marriage with Anne Bancroft. While she was regal, quiet, and elegant, he was emotional, talkative, and gaudy. When she passed away, the only thing he said was "life has gone out of me. She was my everything."

Let's talk about the great Mel Brooks.

It actually may be the best song ever created for a video game franchise. It’s so good. The guy screaming “Mortal Kombat!” As the beat drops… awesome.

Can’t believe it’s been 30 years since that movie adaptation came out. I was like 8 at the time.

I think Tate McRae has one of the most grating, most disgusting sounding voices out there right now. It’s so irritating to listen to! She sounds like a fucking Rugrat!! What Powers That Be told her that that kind of singing was talented, sexy, amazing, etc?

Another new singer that sounds HORRIBLE is Mariah the Scientist in her song “Burning Blue.” She sounds like she has a cold, like her nose is plugged up, and she doesn’t enunciate. She sounds terrible! Absolutely terrible and annoying!

People used to say Britney was a horrible singer. But these girls make Britney sound like Whitney!

Please! Make singing pretty again! Make singing clear again! Make singing rich again! Make singing powerful again!

Eldergays what should we do ?

The Trump administration has identified a new target in its battle with elite higher education, announcing a two-pronged front against Duke University on allegations the North Carolina school is in violation of the Civil Rights Act.

The Education Department is launching an investigation into Duke University and the Duke Law Journal, the department announced in a news release Monday, citing reporting that alleges the university was violating the Civil Rights Act. Education Secretary Linda McMahon and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. also sent a letter to Duke University “outlining shared concerns about the use of race preferences in Duke’s hiring, admissions, and scholarship decisions.”

The announcements come days after Columbia University reached a $200 million settlement with the Trump administration to restore federal funding to the school. Trump administration officials have cast the Columbia deal as a blueprint for other schools, and an administration official told CNN that Cornell and Brown universities are engaging in negotiations and agreements are in sight. The administration remains in multiple legal battles with Harvard University after freezing more than $2 billion in federal funding for the school.

Duke, so far, has not indicated that it’s willing to negotiate with the Trump administration, the official said. This marks the first time the administration has targeted a school in a state that President Donald Trump won in the 2024 election.

A spokesperson for Duke University did not immediately comment in response to a CNN request. CNN has also reached out to the Duke Law Journal.

The administration will investigate whether Duke and its law journal violated Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, which prohibits discrimination based on race, color or national origin in programs or activities receiving federal funding.

Separately, the letter from McMahon and Kennedy alleged “serious allegations of systemic racial discrimination permeating the operations of Duke University School of Medicine and other components of Duke Health.” The letter, according to HHS, “outlines expectations for a partnership-style pathway for Duke to work with HHS and the Department of Education to swiftly uncover prohibited race-based discrimination in Duke Health and come into compliance with certain Federal civil rights laws.”

My parents were young children when a lot of these songs were popular, and I grew up with them because they were played in our house as they had a high amount of nostalgia for them.

Ryan Armstrong is playing Nova the vampire slayer — a rather appropriate name, being Latin for "new."

In other casting news, the report states that young actor Kingston Vernes will portray Carson, a popular student and Junior Olympian who Nova will have a crush on.

Unlike other recent cast confirmations, Vernes' role is planned as a recurring character. Earlier this week, details were released on the rest of the Buffy reboot's core cast — including what appeared to be confirmation of its new 'Scooby Gang.'

This included Severance's Sarah Bock as Gracie, Law & Order: SVU's Ava Jean as Larkin, and Faly Rakotohavana as Hugo. Major Crimes' Daniel di Tomasso plays Abe, while Frasier's Jack Cutmore-Scott is the mysterious Mr. Burke.

Per a previous casting leak, Gracie is Nova's best friend, while Hugo is another friend with a crush on Nova. Mr. Burke, meanwhile, will be the new school librarian — a throwback to the original series' Giles.

Deadline reports that a writer's room has been assembled, and production on a full first season will likely begin in March 2026 if the series' forthcoming pilot is picked up by Hulu for a full season.

There's no word yet on any further returning characters other than Buffy herself, but Gellar — who also serves as an executive producer on the project — has said she hopes to see other classic characters (but not Alyson Hannigan) return. Indeed, Buffy actress Charisma Carpenter has already told IGN she'd be keen to appear, after an "unjust" end to her character on spin-off Angel.

Video footage captured the moment an irate man slapped a woman in the face for refusing to give up her seat in a Colombian airport terminal — prompting a massive brawl as bystanders rushed to her defense.

The shocking scene went down Sunday night at Bogota’s El Dorado International Airport, when Hector Santacruz walked up to Claudia Segura and demanded that she give up her seat, the Daily Mail reported.

Segura had apparently sat in the seat next to Santacruz’s wife while he was away, and he became irate when she refused to give it up.

Enough is enough. Israel is committing genocide and working to ethnically cleanse the Palestinians from their own land in Gaza and the West Bank. Don't let it happen. A two-state solution is the only fair and equitable solution.

Donald Trump on Thursday signed an executive order making it easier for cities and states to remove homeless people from the streets.

His order commits federal funding to move people on the streets who are "causing public disorder and that are suffering from serious mental illness or addiction" to "treatment centers, assisted outpatient treatment, or other facilities."

"Shifting homeless individuals into long-term institutional settings for humane treatment through the appropriate use of civil commitment will restore public order," the text of the order said. "Surrendering our cities and citizens to disorder and fear is neither compassionate to the homeless nor other citizens."

It could be an unhappy ending for a seedy all-male massage parlor that officials say openly offers hands-on sexual satisfaction.

The city is suing to close down 28 Men’s Spa on the West Side, claiming in court documents filed Wednesday that the spa’s roster of masseurs offered “manual stimulation of the penis” to three undercover cops during separate incidents last summer.

The spa, which goes by M&J Men’s Spa and advertises on social media with pictures of shirtless muscular men, is referenced on websites for gay men seeking “happy endings.”

But a worker told The Post that the city’s claims were “disgusting.”

And spa manager Ping Du said in a brief phone interview that the spa didn’t sell rub-and-tugs for cash but was a “regular massage” parlor.

Du said he he took over the spa at 45 West 28th St. this past April and confirmed all of their massage therapists and customers are men but he denied any illicit behavior.

“We don’t do that here,” Du said.

While Du may have taken over in April, the city’s lawsuit claims that three undercover NYPD officers in June and July were offered happy endings inside the spa.

By using the city’s nuisance abatement statute — which helped clear out the notorious porno theaters of Times Square years ago — the suit also takes aim at the building owner, whom they claim should have had some idea that one of their tenants practiced the world’s oldest profession.

That means the spa and the landlord could be fined $1,000 per day for every day of illegal activity, according to court papers, while the spa also faces closure for a year.

Two workers agreed to offer sex acts — “manual stimulation of his penis,” the complaint reads — for around $80, while a third offered the service for $180, according to the suit filed in Manhattan Supreme Court.

I've been having this debate with a coworker today about Peter Phillips’ status as a royal. My coworker claims that as the grandson of the monarch and the son of a princess, he's royal. She said that by blood, he's as royal as William, Harry, and the York sisters. (Edward’s kids are, once again, the forgotten stepchildren.)

My argument is that he is a member of the royal family, but not royal. He's just like all the other Brits who can claim to be descendants of a monarch, without a royal title of their own to make that connection relevant.

What a fucking clown. What makes Hegseth think that he's any more qualified to be governor than secretary of defense?

He's not qualified for either. If he wants to enter politics, he needs to get some experience and start off as a city counselor or state rep. He's a morning weekend host of Fox. He is not qualified for a high-level executive role.

Donald Trump said in a social media post Friday afternoon that he directed members of his administration to fire Erika McEntarfer, commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, after the BLS on Friday published a July jobs report that contained what it called "larger than normal" revisions to data from May and June.

The July jobs report published Friday morning showed the US economy added 73,000 jobs last month, fewer than expected, while the unemployment rate rose to 4.2%.

The most notable numbers to emerge from the report, however, were downward revisions to job gains in May and June, which saw 258,000 jobs taken away from what had been initially reported.

A murder-obsessed teenager who spoke of carrying out a mass shooting at an Edinburgh school has been jailed for six years.

A court heard Felix Winter, who is now 18, "idolised" the killers behind the 1999 Columbine High School massacre in the US. The pupil repeatedly spoke about mounting a similar "Doomsday" attack to the one which claimed the lives of 12 students and a teacher in Colorado.

Winter, who also held racist and pro-Nazi views, admitted two charges at a hearing in February. The High Court in Glasgow heard the offences - a breach of the peace and a charge under the Terrorism Act - were committed when he was aged 15 and 16 between June 2022 and July 2023.

Shelagh McCall KC, defending, called for a strict alternative to custody as her client was a "vulnerable young person" with mental health issues.

But the court was told Winter had been "radicalised", having spent more than 1,000 hours in contact with a pro-Nazi online Discord group. The judge said it appeared Winter had been in contact with the extremist online group for two hours a day for two years.

Lord Arthurson told the court the teenager had also discussed with fellow pupils his "visceral, violent and graphically detailed plan" to carry out a massacre. In a January 2023 journal entry he described his school as a "virus upon this earth" and added he would soon prove that "I am a God".

Lord Arthurson added: "The whole material available to me indicate that you were progressing towards the brink of perpetrating a mass school shooting, you were radicalised and your statement of intent could not have been clearer."

Winter had been referred to the UK-wide Prevent counter terrorism programme four times. It places public bodies, including schools and the police, under a legal duty to identify people who may turn to extremism, and intervene in their lives before it is too late. Police Scotland launched an investigation in the summer of 2023 after a social media photo of Winter at school wearing combat gear and carrying an imitation gun caused panic among pupils and parents. It emerged the clothes and prop gun were issued to him for a video being made in a drama class in which he had been cast as a kidnapper.

But detectives established Winter, of Kirknewton, West Lothian, frequently spoke to other pupils about carrying out a school attack. He also "exhibited a variety of alarming behaviours" over a 13-month period.

Classmates recalled how the teenager spoke "excitedly and with considerable enthusiasm" when he talked about Columbine and other school shootings. Witnesses told police he "sympathised" with the Columbine killers, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold. Harris, 18, and Klebold, 17, both took their own lives in the library of the school after the attack.

Winter was also said to be so fascinated by the mass shooting that he wanted to change his name in an "act of homage" to Klebold. A female pupil told officers he planned to start on the second floor and "clear it out" before continuing the shooting spree downstairs.

Winter was stopped by police under the Terrorism Act as he returned from holiday with his family on 9 July 2023. Officers discovered that the schoolboy had a TikTok account which had footage of him wearing black combat clothes as well as a skeleton mask.

When his electronic devices were seized, they were found to contain files on "homemade" firearms and poisons. The court heard he had 65 videos of Columbine and had added music which appeared to "glamorise" the mass killing.

Other pupils told how he had spoken of wanting to carry out attacks on students and teachers using guns, explosives or poison. He also claimed he would buy a 3D printer to help construct a firearm. At a previous hearing, Winter's lawyer said that the teenager was vulnerable and a transgender person and that would need to be taken into account.

I hate the originals and have never found that type of humor funny, and while this film uses some of that humor still, it doesn’t feel as “corny”. I surprisingly enjoyed this movie, laughed a few times and even when I didn’t laugh I was still entertained. I didn’t feel like I was losing brain cells like I do with some comedies.

Liam Neeson is hysterical in this and I am so glad he did this. Pamela Anderson looks so beautiful in this movie, very elegant and old Hollywood at times, and is phenomenal opposite Liam. I loved her.

The theater had a lot of laughs and people were saying it was really enjoyable and good as they were walking out. Everyone seemed to enjoy it.

I definitely recommend it!

An infant was found abandoned earlier this week on a “random” yard shortly before four of the child’s relatives were discovered dead in a nearby county, authorities in Tennessee said.

The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation identified a suspect Thursday wanted on four counts of first-degree murder and firearm charges in connection with the deaths.

Austin Robert Drummond, 29, should be considered armed and dangerous and is believed to be driving a 2016 Audi A3, the bureau said in a news release.

The release did not identify a possible motive.

Matthew Wilson, 21, the abandoned child’s father; Adrianna Williams, 20, the mother; Courtney Rose, 38, the maternal grandmother; and Braydon Williams, 15, the maternal uncle were identified as the victims by Danny Goodman, district attorney for Dyer and Lake counties.

They were discovered in a wooded area in Tiptonville, roughly 40 miles north of Tigrett, according to NBC affiliate WMC of Memphis.

“This is a deeply saddening day for our community,” Dyer County Sheriff Jeff Box said in a statement. “We are committed to uncovering the truth and ensuring justice is served.”

Nearly a dozen law enforcement agencies are assisting in the investigation, including the FBI and the U.S. Marshals Two Rivers Violent Fugitive Task Force, the state bureau said.

The FBI did not respond to a request for comment. An official with the fugitive task force declined to comment.

The infant was discovered Tuesday afternoon after a witness dialed 911 and reported seeing the baby in a car seat on "a random individual’s front yard" in the Tigrett area, the Dyer County Sheriff's Office said. Tigrett is nearly 80 miles north of Memphis.

The post, which said the child was being evaluated by medical personnel, included a photo of the infant “in the arms of a loving paramedic.”

The sheriff's office said in an update that it was seeking to talk with three people later identified as the child's deceased relatives — Rose, Wilson and Williams.

That evening, the sheriff's office said, four people had been found dead in neighboring Lake County in connection with the case.

Trump has fired Dr. Erika McEntarfer, the commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, whom he accused, without evidence, of manipulating the monthly jobs reports for “political purposes.”

The BLS’ monthly labor report Friday showed that the US economy added only 73,000 jobs in July, far below expectations. It also sharply revised down the employment growth that had been previously reported in May and June – by a combined 258,000 jobs.

After the revisions, the jobs report showed the weakest pace of hiring for any three-month period since the pandemic recession in 2020.

The Smithsonian's National Museum of American History removed references to President Donald Trump's two impeachment proceedings from an exhibit on the "Limits of Presidential Power," a Smithsonian spokesperson confirmed to ABC News. The spokesperson said a future exhibit will include all presidential impeachments.

The exhibit now only includes references to the impeachment proceedings against Presidents Andrew Johnson in 1868, Richard Nixon in 1973 and Bill Clinton in 1998. Nixon is the only U.S. president to resign following the commencement of impeachment proceedings.

Trump is the only U.S. president to have been impeached twice.
