Who did you swoon and get moist over the most?

Conservatives are going ballistic which must mean one thing - they know it’s over. Don’t be fooled by the naysayers and prophets of doom - we got this. I expect to see the Obamas going all out to campaign for this ticket In a way they didn’t in 2016.

The 2020 college football season is teetering on the brink, and throughout the sport the question isn’t so much if it will be canceled as opposed to who will do the canceling. The prime contenders: the Big Ten and the Pac-12. As of now the season is officially still on, at least mostly.

The Mid-American Conference pulled the plug on its season Saturday morning, affecting 12 schools. The University of Connecticut, an independent, had already done so individually on Wednesday.

What comes next will determine a lot. No offense to those 13 schools, but college football can go on without them. The sport is usually played by 130 schools in 43 states, coming in all shapes, sizes and finances. Almost no one ever thought 2020 would happen with all of them.

However, if there is no Ohio State or USC — let alone Clemson and Alabama — then forget it.

“I think if one league shuts down, then the others will follow like dominoes,” an SEC athletic director theorized this week.

The Big 12 has appeared the most assertive in pushing forward. The SEC has always claimed “it just means more.” Then again, the virus isn’t going to bend to marketing slogans.

Nearly everyone in college athletics wants to have a season, and not just because not having one will bring financial ruin. (Penn State last week acknowledged losses could reach “nine figures in the case of no competition,” or $100 million.)

The Big Ten on Saturday said it will not allow padded practices to begin. It wants further evaluation on the safety of conducting them. With the season openers in that league scheduled for Sept. 5, the decision may, at the very least, force a postponement of Week 1 games to late September.

“We understand there are many questions regarding how this impacts schedules, as well as the feasibility of proceeding forward with the season at all,” the Big Ten said in a statement. “As we have consistently stated, we will continue to evaluate daily, while relying on our medical experts, to make the best decisions possible for the health, safety and wellness of our student-athletes.”

Then there is the Pac-12, which has pushed its season opener back to Sept. 26, but has yet to begin training camps. The league has set Aug. 17 as the day teams can commence camps.

In California, however, home to four of the league’s 12 programs — Cal, Stanford, UCLA and USC — the local public health orders are not conducive to starting camps. The three counties where the schools reside (Los Angeles for UCLA and USC, Alameda for Cal and Santa Clara for Stanford) currently prohibit gatherings of over 50 people.

That means, effectively, no camp.

And if there is no camp by Aug. 17, can there be a season by Sept. 26? Even the 17th offers just five weeks to get into game shape before the first game week.

If not, then the Pac-12 is the Pac-8 (made up of schools in Arizona, Colorado, Oregon, Utah and Washington) or, more likely just not playing at all this fall. That would make Aug. 17 the potential drop-dead date of the league, and maybe the sport. And that’s if we even get that far.

“We would probably have to make a decision on the next phase (training camp) and on the season by (the 17th),” a Pac-12 administrative official told Yahoo Sports.

None of this is sneaking up on the Pac-12. It tried to buy time. It appears to be running out.

“One of the things we’ve always tried since Day 1, we’ve talked about giving ourselves as much flexibility as possible when the schedule was put out,” the administrator said. “It’s clear as day that we have a state struggling to manage COVID.”

Almost precisely five months ago (March 12), the NCAA called off the men’s and women’s basketball championships.

It was a shock, a seemingly impossible development.

Now here comes football.

It’s not over yet. It’s still possible that the big five leagues will push on. But from coaches to administrators, that isn’t what’s being discussed right now — it’s which league is going to make the first move and whether everyone will follow.

Large scale protests and unrest have broken out in Chicago, including mass looting taking place across the city.

There is a heavy police presence on the streets following reports of people breaking into businesses and setting vehicles on fire.

Videos posted on social media show police dealing with the unrest. Among the videos is footage of several people breaking into a bank after smashing windows with baseball bats and another showing crowds of people fleeing after gunshots are heard outside a store.

Several clips also show people walking out of businesses and stores after allegedly stealing goods and items from inside. The unrest shows no sign of stopping as of the early hours on Monday morning.

The Sturgis Rally in the middle of the pandemic is only seeming to prove what I have long suspected - people who ride motorcycles are pieces of shit who deserve death. If any of you know of courteous, well-adjusted, fully-employed, socially progressive, clean-cut, bathes daily-type individuals who are not mostly made of Twinkie creme. ass hair and tattoo ink, and who are able to drive quietly down a country lane and/or obey the laws of freeway traffic, let me know, because I don't think I've ever seen one.

All I've ever seen are multi-colored zoo animals with beer-bellies suggestive of camel's humps, perched atop rumbling smog-making machines, burbling their way in packs of 20 and 30 through towns that swiftly come to hate them.

Was Jackson gay? “Absolutely not, not in any way shape or form. Not, not, not, not.” She was with him when the first child molestation charges were made. “I always maintain it’s not anything I was around for and nothing I witnessed.” The Times UK/October 2012

Why did Presley marry Jackson in 1994? “Because I fell in love with him,” Presley says briskly. "

"He was loveable? “Very.”

Jackson’s death in 2009 “was really confusing and really, really painful. Our relationship was something I had parked away, pushed away. It brought it all back in a way I was not prepared for, things I hadn’t dealt with. Some of the things that we went through could never be fixed or resolved. It was devastating.”

The book comes out tomorrow (today in the UK) and a digital version should be online in a few hours. Reviews and revelations and pointless bitchery for all!

Theirs was a love story that took hold in Africa – where now Meghan, on the last day of an incredible three-week stay, stretched her body into the perfect warrior pose. She quietly took in her surroundings from the grounds of their final home away from home on this trip, a modern villa in Livingstone, Zambia, just under ten miles upstream from Victoria Falls. The rising sun washed over her makeshift yoga garden, while an exotic flock of birds that looked as if they had just had their tails dipped in pots of colourful paints serenaded her.’

Prior thread here

We were peas in a pod--two fat, unattractive closeted gay men. Both primary caregivers in our families. Both had siblings who went out and lived their lives while we did all the grunt work.

He always said that when his parents were gone he was going to kill himself.

His father died 10 years ago but his mother held on though various surgeries, two heart attacks, a bought of colon cancer, diabetes, heart failure and various other sicknesses.

Two months back her body finally gave out. He told me that in the hospital she said to him, "I can't go. I'm not ready to die. I've still got so much more to live." She was 97.

After the funeral he went about settling her estate and then after a week got in his car, drove out to his favorite secluded spot and using a hose field his car with exhaust.

The funeral was only for family because of Covid so I didn't go. On social media everyone is saying he died too young, he had so much more life to live, how angry they were for him dying.

All I can think is that he's finally free.

What are your thoughts and history with this show? I just watched the movie tonight. I think it would be hard for a contemporary audience to sit through this because of the ancient, far-fetched, clunky plotting, and because Billy Bigelow is so deplorable through the entire first act.

The songs are gorgeous and I know so many of them by heart, even though I am far from a musical theatre queen. I suppose they were just everywhere in popular culture throughout my childhood. And I'm not even 60. I guess I've seen about half dozen productions when I was young, here and there.

Would a modern family sitcom get away with a character like Otis, the town drin The Andy Griffith Show? Staggering in drunk and letting himself in and out of the cell.

Disgraced actor Lori Loughlin and her husband resigned from their exclusive Los Angeles country club, according to reports.

Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli, sentenced to short prison stints after pleading guilty to fraud and conspiracy in the college admissions scandal, voluntarily quit the Bel-Air Country Club this month even though the board had voted to let them resume their membership after they do their time, TMZ reported.

The couple took the action “to the disappointment of many of the members,” a source told People.

But not everyone supported them. In a letter obtained by TMZ, past president Michael Gallagher blasted the board’s decision to suspend the couple but reinstate them after they serve their sentences.

“This unprecedented board decision to allow felons to continue as members causes irreparable reputational harm to the Club and its members ... The board action, taken on behalf of the Club’s membership, now establishes our Club as a place of refuge and comfort for known felons.”

It’s all moot now, as the pair part from the club, whose golf course lies below their home.

HuffPost did not immediately hear back from Loughlin’s reps in a request for comment.

In a 2011 report, The Hollywood Reporter noted that members (at least at the time) included Jack Nicholson, Luke Wilson, Les Moonves, Chuck Lorre, Clint Eastwood and Tom Cruise. The initiation fee alone was $150,000, THR reported then.

Loughlin, the former “Full House” and Hallmark star, and Giannulli, a clothing designer, admitted to paying $500,000 to have their daughters fraudulently admitted to USC as crew recruits. Olivia Jade Giannulli and Isabella Rose Giannulli never competed in the sport.

Aside from VP, none of the cabinet positions are true stepping stones to the Presidency, so why would a powerful US Senator, like Elizabeth Warren or Tammy Duckworth even WANT a cabinet position? I suppose there's that old fashioned "duty to my country" thing, but at the end of the day, all this fantasy cabinet stuff that's happening now that Kamala has been selected is a bit silly to me.

Frankly, I'd rather have a progressive like Warren stay in the Senate and see her influence and power in that body only grow. Why would she give that up (or would WE even want her to give that up) for something like Treasury Secretary. Not that I think Biden would ever do that -- he's obviously far too conservative to add Warren to his cabinet.

Now, Pete, I could understand. That would be an insane step up -- from medium-town mayor to a cabinet position.

A dramatic reboot of Fresh Prince of Bel-Air is in the works based on a viral trailer.

The four-minute video, created by director and super-fan Morgan Cooper, reimagined the hit comedy as a serious drama telling the story of a working-class Philadelphia teen adapting to life with his richer family in Los Angeles. It racked up over 7.5m views between two YouTube posts, and caught the attention of the show’s original star Will Smith, who is now developing a series with Cooper. Are we ready for the big Generation X animation comeback? Read more

“Morgan did a ridiculous trailer for Bel-Air,” Smith originally commented. “Brilliant idea – the dramatic version of The Fresh Prince for the next generation.”

The project, known as Bel-Air, has reportedly been in development for over a year with Smith and original producers Benny Medina and Quincy Jones on board. Cooper will co-write, act as executive producer and direct, while Chris Collins, whose credits include The Wire and Sons of Anarchy, will act as showrunner.

Alex Morse, a 31-year-old gay Democrat who’s running for Congress in Massachusetts, has admitted to having consensual sex with college students and apologized to “anyone I have made feel uncomfortable.”

Morse’s statement came in response to a letter from college Democratic groups in the state, accusing him of using “his position of power for romantic or sexual gain,” according to the Massachusetts Daily Collegian.

The groups allege that Morse, the mayor of Holyoke, has had sexual relations with students at UMass Amherst, where he is a lecturer in the department of political science, as well from other schools in the Five College Consortium, during his campaign. They accuse him of meeting students as young as 18 on dating apps such as Tinder and Grindr. He also connected with them on Instagram, adding them to his “Close Friends” story and direct-messaging them, which made some of them feel uncomfortable.

“Numerous incidents over the course of several years have shown that it is no longer appropriate to encourage interaction between College Democrats and Alex Morse,” the groups wrote. “Alex Morse should know that as an elected official, a high-profile candidate, and a lecturer at a large public university, he holds a position of power over many young people. Many young people around the state and around the country, especially those involved in College Democrats, view Morse as a role model, which renders it unacceptable for Morse to routinely make sexual or romantic advances, whether implicitly or explicitly. … Even if these scenarios are mutually consensual, the pattern of Morse using his platform and taking advantage of his position of power for romantic or sexual gain, specifically toward young students, is unacceptable.”

In a statement provided to the student newspaper, Morse stressed that all of the relationships were consensual.

“ However, I also recognize that I have to be cognizant of my position of power. I am committed to meeting with any person or group, including the College Dems, to answer any questions and address any concerns,” he wrote, referencing his struggle to accept his sexuality in high school after growing up closeted.

“As I’ve become more comfortable with myself and my sexuality, like any young, single, openly gay man, I have had consensual adult relationships, including some with college students,” Morse said. “Navigating life as both a young gay man and an elected official can be difficult, but that doesn’t excuse poor judgment.”

Morse, a progressive who became the first openly LGBT mayor of Holyoke at age 22, is challenging longtime Democratic Congressman Richard Neal in the Sept. 1 primary.

I was packing for my road trip from Colorado to Alberta, Canada, when the text came in from a gentleman I’d been helping with groceries during the pandemic.

“The Canadians are actually doing damage to vehicles with United States plates on them,” he cautioned, giving me my first inkling that it wasn’t just public health officials who were serious about keeping Americans out of Canada, where the death rate from the coronavirus has been roughly half that of its southern neighbor.

As a dual citizen I was entitled to cross the border, closed to most Americans because of the pandemic. With an octogenarian father in Calgary who had been largely isolated during the stay-at-home orders, I was willing to submit to Canada’s mandatory two-week quarantine in order to visit.

But my friend’s warning proved prescient. Some concerned residents who fear that the virus will be spread to their communities have been taking matters into their own hands, spurring so many reports of intimidation that the premier of British Columbia, John Horgan, reminded angry Canadians to “Be Calm. Be Kind” at a July 27 news conference.

Addressing those Americans who are in Canada legally, he said: “With respect to those who have offshore plates and are feeling harassed, I would suggest perhaps public transit. I would suggest that they get their plates changed. I would suggest that they ride a bike.”

Before the pandemic, when Americans could choose most any country in the world to travel, Canada was their second most popular foreign destination, behind only Mexico. Lured by the proximity, advantageous exchange rate and safety of their northern neighbor, in the first six months of last year, U.S. residents made 10.5 million trips to Canada, the highest level in 12 years, according to Statistics Canada, a government agency.

But the welcome mat was rolled up on March 31, when the border between the two countries was closed to tourists.

That hasn’t kept some Americans from trying, however. Many are routinely turned away at border crossings, while others have chosen to go sightseeing instead of taking the most direct route to Alaska as required of those driving from the Lower 48 — even though violators face possible fines, jail or even being banned from Canada.

There were so many interlopers that on July 31, Canada began limiting which crossings along the border with the United States can be used by foreign nationals who are allowed to transit through the country for nondiscretionary purposes. It is also requiring them to register, and making them display a hang tag on their rear view mirror with a mandatory departure date. The crackdown comes even though the number of tickets issued was just a fraction of the number of reports coming in to Royal Canadian Mounted Police.

In the province of Alberta, for instance, there were no tickets issued to American motorists in April, May or July, and only nine tickets issued in June, all in Banff National Park, said Cpl. Tammy Keibel, a spokeswoman for the RCMP in Southern Alberta. The federal police force didn’t start recording complaints about international license plates until June 17, but there were 53 reports in the entire province between June 17 and June 29, and 121 between July 1 and July 28, she said.

The province’s most troublesome scofflaw thus far is a fellow from Alaska who was so determined to enjoy Banff with a woman from Calgary that he’d met online that he was issued two of the June tickets. His identity hasn’t yet been released, Keibel said.

His downfall, like that of many others, was precipitated by concerned citizens, not authorities. The Alaska plates on his truck were spotted June 25 during one of the regular parking lot sweeps that the Rimrock Resort Hotel in Banff conducts. Video footage was reviewed to confirm the driver’s identity, and he was questioned in his room. When he was unable to show that he had complied with quarantine laws, the police were called, said Trevor Long, the Rimrock’s general manager.

Where is Aaron right now?

Still in Mexico?

Starting a new thread because the previous one was Muriel'd.

I'm rewatching early Sheffer era ATWT. I'm into early 2001 now. Summer 2000 was just so delicious with the long-awaited end of the Lily/Rose storyline and Rose getting revealed and then Holden catching Lily making out with Simon on an island. It was all so well done. Bringing back Iva to retcon Rose into Lily's twin just worked for me for some reason. I also love the whole Endicott Awards with Katie finally getting revealed as faking her own stalking to steal Molly's job and knowing about the Lily/Rose switch all along. That material is all dynamite, and pretty much from July 2000 - September 2000, ATWT is firing on all cylinders (for what would be the last time?)

By fall 2000, I started to notice some of Sheffer's more annoying tics start to pop up. In his effort to "give the men their balls back," Jack and Hal become complete assholes. The storylines aren't exactly anything to write home about either -- Craig selling illegal microchips or whatever and Hal trying to nail him on it is all pretty lame. Molly being visited by [italic]Another World's[/italic] Vicky Hudson (in ghost form) shouldn't work at all. And yet, it's clear that Sheffer has earned incredible good will among the writing staff and the actors. The day to day episodes are quite good, even when the storylines shouldn't work. I noticed a particularly witty script, and sure enough, it was a Marie Masters script. And the actors are playing the heck out of the material. Colleen Zenk-Pinter is clearly loving the breakdown of Barbara's marriage, and Barbara has become a TOTAL bitch (lol), but she's clearly enjoying the first material she could sink her teeth into in a long time. I know it's going to get ridiculous eventually after she gets burnt and they eventually have her jumping out of courthouses, but for now, the darker Barbara is just great. Hunt Block was a decent Craig recast for the first few months. Yes, a little darker than Scott Bryce's take on the character, but I can see a through line. But it's starting to go south as he becomes more mustache-twirling.

I'm up thru January 2001. For now I'll keep going. I know it's going to get ridiculous and over-the-top at some point. But it's quite good. I saw Lauren Martin's last episode as Camille for probably the first time since it aired 20 years ago. She had very little to do her last year or so there, but her last episode with her saying goodbye to John at the train station was quite a tearjerker! Surprised no other soap ever picked her up. She was very beautiful. I saw Andy leave. It was sold as just a temporary leave as Andy went to rehab, but that's it.... Andy never appeared again for the next 10 years. At least we never had to deal with an awful recast. Can you imagine Steve Burton or some other ABC actor as a "hunkier" Andy Dixon? Our beloved Scott DeFreitas was the HEART and SOUL of ATWT.

Saw an ad for GL at the end of an ATWT episode... Prince Richard is not the legitimate Prince of San Cristobal. As much as I loved this period of ATWT, I remember this as an awful period for GL. I stuck by GL for the clone, stuck by for the Nursery Rhyme Stalker, but once it became 100% mafia/San Cristobal, I stopped watching. I didn't come back to GL until Millee Taggart's tenure in 2002 (and by then, I remember thinking ATWT had gone south again. They could never both be good at the same time.)

Anyway, sorry for rambling. There is nobody else I can talk about this with outside of DL, lol.

Inspired by the "Actors you'd like to spend 24 hours fucking" thread (or whatever it's called), here's a new thread devoted to the stunning Oliver Jackson-Cohen.

I'd have a hard time holding down a job if he were in my bed.

[Quote]David Muir was in the list of People’s Sexiest Man alive in 2014 with the likes of Chris Hemsworth. One year later, he was rumored to be in a relationship with his fellow journalist Gio Benitez. This news broke the heart of Muir’s fangirls all around the globe. Media spotted and pictured both of them together several times hanging out at gay clubs. Many assumptions were made, but any of them neither confirmed nor denied any of those rumors.

Can someone explain her success? Is scienthology that powerful? I just saw The Invisible Mam and , though i liked it, how horrible she looked constantly took me out ofthe movie. Her hair looked like she hadn’t washed it for days after taking her McDonalds hat. She has bug eyes, no neck and the body of a pillow. Except for constantly looking miserable , there is nothing going for her. How does she gets these roles?

Better yet, what secrets do you know about that are being kept from the rest of the family?

How much are you saving by not having a cable bill? I'm trying to decide if this something that I want to do. Any drawbacks?

I can't find a service provider for this in NYC. To be clear, I don't mean a landline phone provided through cable service. I mean the old kind with separate phone wires plugged into a phone jack in the wall that has nothing to do with your cable service.

I estimate his IQ to be 88. Did he complete the British equivalent of high school? Over the years, has he disclosed having any learning disabilities? Do you imagine he's ever read a novel without pictures?

Who's going?

Stray observations:

1. Season one is perfect. The writing is exceptional for a TV show in every way, from plotting to dialogue. It was so smart and innovative.

2. Old network series seasons were LONG! 23-24 episodes feels epic compared with 8-10 episode Netflix/Amazon/Hulu shows.

3. All of the actresses were VERY good. I don’t know if it was unusually good directing or what, but their performances were great—even the destested Teri H. She was really good in her role.

4. Nicollette Sheridan was a magic ingredient who stole every scene even though her character was the least well written.

5. I know it was ambiguous on purpose that Wisteria Lane was in “Fairview, USA,” in the “Eagle State,” but I am really bugged by not knowing where it is. Throughout seasons one and two, there are lots of references to Utah as a neighboring state, as if it’s a half hour or so away. Other references seem southern-ish, but it seems distinctly midwestern. There’s a mention in season two or three by Mary Alice that it never snows in Fairview, and while Wisteria Lane looks like a temperate Anywhere, USA, with deciduous trees, there’s a scene in which drunk Bree is pulled over in season two and palm trees are visible on the side of the road.

6. Season one was A+ but then it fell off a cliff. Susan’s and Mike’s romance in particular just became irredeemably annoying.

7. As of season five, I LOVE the arc with Andrew! He went from being a sociopathic closeted gay kid with Mommy issues who was resented by Mommy for being gay, to being thrown out onto the street and turning tricks to ultimately becoming business partners with Bree and seemingly stabilizing her. It was so well done for its time.

8. Everyone on the show ranges from very conservative to moderately conservative, and there are *some* mentions (mainly by Bree or her husbands) of church but religion is not depicted at all, except for the dramatic convenience of Gabby in confessional booths. Are we supposed to associate the conservative people with Mormons, who were never mentioned except indirectly as “Utah” to avoid a backlash?

That’s all for now. I am rewatching to avoid Trump news!

yum nice package.

Shortages make a comeback.

Since the last thread got locked again, here's a new one for Julian Morris and his longtime boyfriend Landon.

I know there are endless lists of those that have, but to your mind which ones stayed true throughout the run?

I just finished watching the final season of Ray Donovan, it stayed true to the characters and did not try to sandwich on a happy ending. Voight has horrible politics but man, he is a good actor as was everyone in the cast.

BBC Life on Mars (the US version has a shit ending) stayed true to the concept and had a rousing end.

Happy with Chris Meloni began with a shark and stayed true to it's ludicrous season 2 finale. I have no idea what I was watching but I loved the journey. I keep hoping someone picks it up for a real finale.

New Zealand announced on Tuesday it would shut down Auckland, its largest city (though not the capital), after four new cases of the virus were confirmed in the city, the first sign of new domestic spread after 102 days without any domestic COVID cases.

NZ's Director General of Health Ashley Bloomfield said the four confirmed cases were all within one family living in South Auckland. One patient is in their 50s. The family had no history of international travel. Family members have been tested and contact tracing - which might actually prove pretty effective with such a small body of the infected - is being carried out.

News of the cases sent panic across the country with media reporting people rushing to supermarkets to stack up, and businesses preparing to shut.

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said Auckland would return to a "level 3 restriction" beginning at noon local time on Wednesday as a "precautionary approach," which would mean people should stay away from work and school, and gatherings or more than 10 people would again be restricted. Though, with so few cases, even these economically-constricting decisions might be overkill.

Though fortunately, these restriction would be applied for three days until Friday, which she said would be enough time to assess the situation, gather information and make sure there's enough widespread contact tracing.

This is just sad

Never liked that song, but RIP!

It's a stupid title, I know, but I guess I'm trying to insert some comedy into a subject that freaks me out.

I've had problems with reflux for about two and a half years, and at first I thought it was stress-related (things were very stressful and I was eating very irregularly). I would take Tums as needed, but they were clearly just a temporary solution. I was prescribed Pantoprazole and have been taking it now for a good six months or so, but I've never had to be on a long-term medication and this scares me. I don't want kidney damage. I've tried varying my diet and the times of day I eat, but if I don't have the medication, within 48 hours I'm burping hardcore acid up my esophagus. I still burp even with the medication, it's just thankfully not fiery acid from hell.

My biopsy has finally been scheduled so they're going to go down my throat and see what's up, but I'm scared as hell. Have any of you come out the other side of having reflux problems cured? Have any of you used Panto or other medications? Tell me please that I can live a life again where I can eat without having to take drugs to do it...

Answering questions about Kamala

I know most porn clips are of two or more guys, or of guys stroking and busting a load - but in so many of those, the dude is quiet even when he cums.

Wondering if there are other fans of verbal talk in a porn or an amateur stroke clip? I'm looking to find some new clips, especially of guys who talk to the camera as if they're talking to you.

Older men, guys with foreign accents, all good. In some ways what he's saying is as important - or maybe even more important! - than his dick size.

In general I just love hearing a guy that's really expressive, that talks about his dick and/or body, who tells you he's about to cum or to take his cum....all the good stuff! A little teasing/SPH is never a bad thing, either. Not every dude needs to be as expressive as, say, Jeff Stryker (though I did like his dirty talk!)

Please share here.....I know PH clips are now blocked but if it's one from there, please post the title and run time so we can find it.

OH! And is anyone else a fan of audio clips as well? Have found some places that do this, especially on Reddit (GoneWildAudio) and would love to find those, too.

Quality of its adaptions notwithstanding.

For me, it's probably Othello -- perhaps because I am prone to jealousy in relationships and I think Shakespeare captures the dynamic perfectly.

Macbeth and Pericles, Prince of Tyre are close seconds.

Why is this insanely hot man dating this TikTok twink? His name is Brady Potter. He had an OnlyFans before but apparently never posted full nudes.

He came out at bisexual shortly before revealing he is dating Larray, a gay youtuber who has a huge following.

Brady is insanely out of his league.

I just don't see it. Maybe he really is bi, but gotta be a fake relationship. Thoughts?

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

Give it a try.

"Um, OP, I'm not a 12-year-old girl." OK, Boomer.

Dafuq was up with her early interviews? She spoke in such a high, girly voice but at the end of this interview with Letterman her voice goes back down to a normal range.

A lot of her early interviews are really funny though.

For the better: Ross's Thanksgiving sandwich, sending him into a crazy spiral on Friends.

Disability activist and motivational speaker Lizzie Velasquez is speaking out about a recent TikTok FaceTime trend that she says is encouraging children to react in an unfavorable way toward the way that people look — and she’s pleading for the trend to be stopped.

“TikTok I need your help,” Velasquez said in a video shared on her social media accounts. “This trend where you are pretending to FaceTime someone who is either disabled or is a baby or just some crazy mugshot and you’re showing it to someone to get their reaction to saying, ‘Oh hey, talk to this person’ just to get a quick laugh, this is not funny. This is not a joke.”

She went on to explain that a mother had used her photo to prank a child into thinking that Velasquez would be his teacher for the upcoming school year. “He had a scared reaction on his face,” Velasquez said. “If you are an adult who has a young human in your life, please do not teach them that being scared of someone who does not look like them is okay. Please, everything that these kids need to know about having empathy and being kind to one another starts at home.”

The trend that became popular in late July shows parents recording a fake FaceTime with someone who they claim to be their child’s new teacher in an effort to capture the kid’s response. Velasquez tells Yahoo Life that since seeing it for the first time, she had a feeling she would become involved.

“I knew in my gut my photo was going to be used,” she says. “After dealing with things like this for a while now, I can sense when this might happen.”

The 31-year-old Texas native was born with neonatal progeroid syndrome, a rare genetic disease that has left her victim to attacks on her looks since a photo of her — at 13 — was used in a video calling her the “the world’s ugliest woman.”

When she eventually came across a video where a mother used her photo as part of this recent trend, Velasquez says she was swept into a “whirlwind” and ended up making her response video in the middle of the night. “I couldn’t sleep. All that kept running through my mind was the innocent people used in these videos. Whether their photo is photoshopped to look exaggerated or whether they are babies who were born uniquely different, nobody has the right to use that in the form of humor,” she explains. “When things like this are brought to my attention my number one concern is how can I make this a teaching moment. How can I best use my platform for good.”

Velasquez’s video received 8.8 million views on Twitter alone as of Monday afternoon and lots of support.

TikTok did not immediately respond to Yahoo Life’s request for comment, nor has it responded to Velasquez’s video. Still, she hopes that her message gets to the right people.

“When kids are in school or whether they are out in public, it's crucial to teach them the importance of respecting someone who doesn’t look like them. Showing them a video might be a joke, but it can be something that shows a child if my mom or dad thinks it's funny then it must be okay for me to laugh at as well,” she says. “I take great responsibility in the fact that now is the time time to do all I can to speak up for those who might not have a voice or for those who don’t know how to use theirs.”

Tamaran, who worked with several celebrities from 2008 to 2017, has broken the stylists’ silence code and opened up about the worst Hollywood fashionistas

Jessica Alba - “not nice”

Katherine Heigl - “extremely difficult and always mad”

J.Lo. - insists aides are not allowed to look at her - “There’s a reason why she can’t hold down a costumer or a seamstress,”

Marisa Tomei - three hours late to an appointment: “She barely says hello and proceeds to eat her breakfast of yogurt and granola.”

Alexis Knapp - “There’s some celebrities who pay, some who take forever to pay, and some who just don’t pay because they think their name is enough, and out of the Pitch Perfect cast, that was Alexis Knapp. Whilst being fitted in this dress, Alexis decided it would be wonderful to eat a slice of chocolate ice-cream cake. Part of the cake melted onto the dress, and guess who had to clean it?"

“When my boss asked for payment, Alexis responded with, ‘I needed to pay you?’”

So who were the best? Tamaran singles out George Clooney, Ariel Winter, and Carrie Underwood among her favourite clients, and raving that Selena Gomez is “one of the most professional human beings in the industry”.

“She actually acknowledges you and thanks you for your time and work,” Tamaran explains.

Saw this on twitter and thought DL could come up with some good jokes at Matt Gaetz's expense!

Electoral-vote shows Dems will pick up 5 seats, more than the 4 needed even if Trump DOES win re-election.

Plus two, other seats are tied/ too close to call. Plus, Democrats are kicking Republican Senators' asses in fundraising.

The polls have shown this consistently for 2 years — the pandemic and Republican ineptitude is just giving the Democrats a bigger margin of victory.

So don't let the "43% chance" Fake News Troll fool you. Republicans are going STRAIGHT DOWN THE SHITTER in 2020.

What was the experience like?

More than 100 prominent Black men released a strongly worded open letter Monday, warning Biden that not picking a Black woman would cost him the election. The signatories of the letter included rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs, radio show host Lenard McKelvey (a.k.a. Charlamagne tha God), actor Cedric Kyles (a.k.a. Cedric The Entertainer), commentator Van Jones, Bishop William J. Barber and civil rights attorney Ben Crump, among others.

Gwyneth has excellent aesthetic taste in men - aside from Chris Martin. She’s been with very attractive men from Brad Pitt to Ben Affleck to Luke Wilson and Scott Speedman to name a few. Her current conscious coupling partner Brad Falchuk is actually very attractive. Why isn’t there more excitement about him? Is it because he isn’t an actor or singer? Does DL consider him hot?

A web series about Tracy Lords and the porn industry as it went to video.

I am finding it fascinating to listen to. She may have been the biggest manipulator of all time.

The movies are illegal in the US but not in Europe. I bet a lot of people buy them here when on vacation and take them back.

The fact that they are illegal also explains why the porn stores all have a huge DVD of Traci Lords even now almost 40 years later.

I was really impressed. it's much more like Raymond Chandler than Erle Stanley Gardner, but it was terrific. A first-class recreation of 1931 Los Angeles that looked both believable yet not too ugly and dark colored (the common mistake with contemporary movies and shows set during the Depression). The kidnapped baby's mutilation with the threads in its eyelids was memorably horrifying in an age when it's hard to horrify anymore, and Matthew Rhys might be the best male actor working in television today. So far the only thing I don't like is the obnoxious and unattractive fat aviatrix girlfriend (I like that she's a Latina character, but why can't he fuck someone reasonably attractive?).

Didn’t the hairstylists on the set of Charlie’s Angels have any product in 1980? This is Shelley on a good hair day.

I actually saw this disorder mentioned in a news article and it appears to be a clinical diagnosis for children being brats. Symptoms include angry and irritable mood, often and easily loses temper, often argues with adults or people in authority, and many behaviors that I have seen in children, both when i was younger and as an adult - and yet these children were presumably never labelled as having ODD.

Since there was a thread about "Weird British Shit" we should have one for the Americans (the ones in the U.S. of A.)

They put ice in everything. Sometimes in wine.

They all have air conditioning. Their electric bills must be massive.

They all have perfect teeth and spend a fortune keeping them white and bright.

The bizarre 1980 flop starring Olivia Newton-John remains a fascinatingly misjudged attempt to combine a classic musical with the roller-disco

Film anniversaries tend to prey on a kind of incredulous public nostalgia for a past that doesn’t seem nearly as distant as it is. “How can Gladiator/Clueless/Pretty Woman be 20/25/30 years old?!” we’re supposed to cry, before grumbling to eye-rolling youngsters that we remember seeing them like yesterday. Very occasionally, the reverse applies, as we sheepishly marvel that Robert Downey Jr’s Oscar-nominated blackface stunt performance in Tropic Thunder wasn’t of a more bygone era than 2008.

In the case of Xanadu, however, the numbers game doesn’t really apply either way. This week marks exactly four decades since Universal’s epically derided musical blitzed its way on to US cinema screens in a queasy haze of lilac neon light, yet 40 seems an entirely banal middle age for a film that elastically stretched the concept of time from the very beginning. A grand studio folly that attempted to mesh the comforting sensibility of 1940s Hollywood musicals to the fast-expiring disco mania of the 1970s, leaning into the latter’s then current roller-disco offshoot and simultaneously flailing about for glam rock and new wave reference points, Xanadu arrived both immediately dated and desperately of-the-moment – like an overstuffed time capsule of a half-dozen different eras, only assembled by Martians who had been observing popular culture from afar. Xanadu is 40 years old this week, but it may as well be 4,000, or a missive from an as-yet-unborn future. Nothing about it makes any sense, its birthday least of all.

Some national chains, both retail and restaurants, are closing outlets in New York City, which are struggling more than their branches elsewhere.

For years, Bryant Park Grill & Cafe in Midtown Manhattan has been one of the country’s top-grossing restaurants, the star property in Ark Restaurants’ portfolio of 20 restaurants across the United States.

But what propelled it to the top has vanished.

The tourists are gone, the office towers surrounding it are largely empty and the restaurant’s 1,000-seat dining room is closed. Instead, dinner is cooked and served on its patio, and the scaled-down restaurant brings in about $12,000 a day — an 85 percent plunge in revenue, its chief executive said.

Five months into the pandemic, the drastic turn of events at businesses like Bryant Park Grill & Cafe that are part of national chains shows how the economic damage in New York has in many cases been far worse than elsewhere in the country.

In the heart of Manhattan, national chains including J.C. Penney, Kate Spade, Subway and Le Pain Quotidien have shuttered branches for good. Many other large brands, like Victoria’s Secret and the Gap, have their kept high-profile locations closed in Manhattan, while reopening in other states.

Jordan Peterson dropped from public life earlier this year, travelling to Russia to seek treatment for reliance on benzodiazepines, a class of prescription drugs used commonly to treat anxiety and insomnia; the most common brands are Valium, Ativan and Xanax. His daughter Mikhaila Peterson had said he was using them to treat an autoimmune disorder and anxiety.

At the time the elder Peterson was flown out of country for treatment, Mikhaila Peterson told the National Post father was put in a medically induced coma because Russian doctors have “the guts to medically detox someone from benzodiazepines.”

Mikhaila Peterson said her dad caught COVID-19 in a Serbian hospital, where he’d been recovering from treatment, and had also caught pneumonia.

“He was put on a whole bunch of, kind of preemptively, he was put on anti-virals and things,” Mikhaila Peterson told the Sun. “I don’t know if that was necessary, because his symptoms weren’t that bad — he didn’t have a cough, he had a mild fever, but they just put him on everything.

“And so now we’ve had a step back in his recovery. Life is just not good, things are not good right now,” she said.

August 11, 2020

(JTA) — A right-wing Republican congressional candidate in North Carolina has taken down pictures he posted to Instagram from a 2017 vacation to the Eagle’s Nest, the Nazi retreat in Germany that Hitler visited more than a dozen times.

Madison Cawthorn’s pictures were removed Monday, the same day that a report in Jezebel made the case that he is “following the playbook of other, more successful far-right Republicans in recent years, attempting to rebrand his extreme views … as squarely in the mainstream of the Republican Party.”

In addition to calling Hitler “Führer,” a term of reverence, Cawthorn also named his real estate company SPQR, a term popular among white nationalists, and displays in his home an early American flag that the Anti-Defamation League says has been appropriated by far-right extremists, according to the Jezebel report.

Cawthorn defeated a Republican who had been endorsed by President Donald Trump in June’s primary. Since the primary, however, the 25-year-old candidate has worked to convey his support for Trump, according to a report by AVL Watchdog, a nonprofit news organization covering the portion of North Carolina that Cawthorn is seeking to represent in the House of Representatives.

The AVL Watchdog report published over the weekend includes many of the same details as the Jezebel report, as it spells out the far-right vision that Cawthorn, who would be one of the youngest-ever congressmen if elected, is offering local voters. But it did not include the Eagle’s Nest vacation photos, in which Cawthorn said a trip to Hitler’s retreat had been on his “bucket list.”

After the Jezebel report was published, the pictures began circulating on social media before they were deleted. Among those who shared the photos on Twitter was Moe Davis, the Democrat opposing Cawthorn in North Carolina’s 11th District, a traditional Republican district in the western part of the state.

The two men are competing to fill the spot in Congress vacated by Mark Meadows after he became the Trump White House chief of staff earlier this year. Davis is a retired Air Force colonel who resigned as Guantanamo Bay’s chief prosecutor to protest a policy allowing evidence obtained through torture to be used in trials. While he is considered a long shot to win in November, population shifts mean the district may not be as safely Republican as it once was.

“Hitler’s vacation retreat is not on my bucket list,” Davis tweeted Monday.

The post Right-wing NC congressional candidate Madison Cawthorn deletes pictures from his vacation to Hitler’s retreat appeared first on Jewish Telegraphic Agency.

This was posted inside a previous thread about him, but I thought it deserved its own thread! LOL!

Moving to LA, am pretired...instantly though WeHo, but heard parking is atrocious.. I plan to have mini-groups throughout the day in my pad so should I move to Melrose/Beverlywood for easier parking for my grindr tricks?

Or is WeHo so compact that these boys are content to Uber/Lyft to my place if I get a WeHo proper spot? Which one affords me more hoes in my living room? I'm coming from NYC where parking was never an issue.

I went on Facebook today for the first time in years, and evidently a bunch of the gay guys I used to be friends with in my early twenties have since settled down with partners/husbands and procured themselves some babies.

I’m 35 and childless. I’ve always hated little children and babies, but I’m wondering if that’s some sort of character deficiency on my part. Is my adult life going to be empty without having reared sims children? Will I need offspring to eventually pay for my nursing home convalescing care?

Moreover, am I some sort of metaphysical failure for not having procreated? That seems like one of biggest remaining metaphysical quandaries of being an out gay person.

What do you think, DL? She would eviscerate Trump in the debates.

I'm worried the suspension of the payroll tax - and Trump indicating he may terminate it altogether - may lead to people voting with their pocketbooks instead of their heads and hearts in November.

Poll Troll, please continue to bring us good news.

New polls this morning from CBS News / YouGov:

GEORGIA:

Biden 46%, Trump 45% (Biden +1)

If he picks Elizabeth Warren, don't get all up in his face about him not picking a black woman. He's been vetting them. She might be the firebrand he needs to go after Pence and the Republicans. If he picks a black woman, but not the one you want, suck it up. You don't think the Republicans aren't going to read what some of you might write? So he'll pick some of the also-rans for VP for his cabinet. We've go to come together and get that asswipe Trump out come November. There are too many articles right now about who Biden should pick. I mean, whoever he picks, the Republicans are going to start picking her apart, so let's get together yeah yeah yeah!

I want to hear what you guys think about this. Why are Britons, the people who hail from the greatest Empire on earth, and who managed to conquer the world, still insist on this as part of their way of relating to each other and themselves and the world?

We know it’s creepy, is it not?

Here’s a country that has given it’s citizens healthcare, yet can’t snap out of this way of life they hold dear to their hearts: the way of peasantry by existence of a monarchy.

If you’re not born royal, you cannot become royal. Even marrying a royal is not the same as being royal by birth, and giving birth to future kings or queens is the closest anyone will ever get to a throne, regardless of birthright or bloodline.

OK, welp, there goes all British men and women who cannot land will not birth royals or who don’t sire them. Women can marry in and become queen mother, but only if they sacrifice their bodies for the heir and spare.

This is obviously a ridiculously minuscule playing field so if Brits worship royals for purposes of aspirational lifestyles, then why not just move to America, and become or at least attempt becoming A Listers or Jeff Bezos? Let’s not bring Harry or Meghan into this discussion. Please. I want to understand why Brits worship and support a system most will never be a part of in any way at all, and that they have better chances at becoming famous celebrities of wealth or e-commerce/tech titans, than they do of ever marrying into the royal family or even meeting all of them and sitting down for dinner with these people. Am I right?

I have some theories on why modern man insists on having kings and queens in a society that no longer recognizes kings or queens but I’d like to hear what you guys think?

I especially want to hear from Brits who are well off, and actually support the royalist movement if at all? Even some aristos or royal adjacents! Lol!

I mean, would any of you actually truly worship a woman called your queen, if she had a severe physical deformity or if she asked that her subjects enter a contest monthly, where 100 are chosen via a lottery of sorts, and asked them to go to the guillotines and literally die for her highness and her sovereignty? I understand these scenarios were inevitably real at one time, but let’s pretend they’re real scenarios now, in modern life with modern advancements.

What is the point of a Queen, and why do you all participate in this pageantry?

Why did others who lived under the whims of a king or queen, die in battle eons ago, precisely because they were attempting to free themselves from monarchy and monarchists.

That’s the entire premise of America, after all, and I am puzzled why smart people engage in hero worship of people who did nothing to earn admiration or esteem, other than to be born randomly into a family that had more money than your own and some title that you would know nothing of other than for excellent record keeping?

How do you guys justify this? Is this what people had to do for the free healthcare? What exactly are Brits getting here, besides a toothless queen or king?

Sadly his legs are paralyzed because of an accident in the past but this is utter humiliation for Trump. This 24 year old hottie is going to be the GOP candidate.

More than 100 prominent Black American men called on Monday for Joe Biden to pick a Black woman as his running mate, as the former vice president closes in on his decision.

Entertainment mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs, radio personality and “The Breakfast Club” co-host Lenard “Charlamagne Tha God” McKelvey, former NFL defensive end Michael Bennett, civil rights lawyer Benjamin Crump and many others signed the open letter to Biden.

“As someone who has said throughout the campaign that VP Joe Biden needs to choose a Black woman VP, the urgency for that pick has gone from something that SHOULD happen to something that HAS to happen,” the letter said.

The letter denounced the treatment of some of Biden’s potential picks, including Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., over her perceived ambition and her debate attacks on Biden’s civil rights record when she was a rival candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination.

“It disgusts us that Black women are not just being vetted in this VP process but unfairly criticized and scrutinized,” the letter said. “Was Joe Biden ever labeled ‘too ambitious’ because he ran for president three times? ... Why does Senator Kamala Harris have to show remorse for questioning Biden's previous stance on integrated busing during a Democratic primary debate?”

Among the names on the letter are entertainer Nick Cannon, Bishop William J. Barber and CNN political contributor Van Jones. No nationally prominent Black political figures were listed as signers.

The letter isn’t the first time Combs and Charlamagne Tha God have talked about Biden’s campaign. Biden made headlines in May when, during an interview on Charlamagne’s radio show, Biden said Black Americans who support President Trump “ain’t Black.”

In an interview with supermodel Naomi Campbell in April, Combs said Biden must show how he will improve the lives of Black and brown people if he wants the “Black vote,” Black Enterprise reported.

Harris is said to be a leading contender for Biden’s nod, along with former Obama administration national security adviser Susan Rice. Others under consideration are Rep. Karen Bass of California, Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, Rep. Val Demings of Florida, Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and Sen. Tammy Duckworth of Illinois, USA Today reported. Harris, Rice, Bass and Demings are Black.

Whitmer traveled to Delaware last weekend to meet with Biden, a possible indication that she’s on the shortlist, the Associated Press reported on Friday.

Biden has vowed to pick a woman as his vice president. But Monday’s letter said that is not enough.

“Failing to select a Black woman in 2020 means you will lose the election,” it said. “We don’t want to choose between the lesser of two evils, and we don’t want to vote the devil we know versus the devil we don’t because we are tired of voting for devils — period.”

In April, hundreds of Black women signed an open letter asking Biden to choose a Black woman as his vice president.

“We the undersigned Black women leaders from a variety of backgrounds and experiences, from both the public and the private sectors, who have all, time and time again supported the Democratic party nationally and across the country — are writing to recommend and encourage you to recognize and seize this moment in our country’s history, and its bold future, by selecting a Black woman to serve as your vice presidential running mate,” the letter said.

At last!

This is not another story about pandemic mom rage — although, after a long day of working from home while keeping my cooped-up 4- and 6-year-old sons from hurting themselves or each other, I often find myself screaming into the abyss.

This is also not a partisan political story per se — yet, I can’t go on without mentioning the failed federal government response to a virus that has killed more than 163,000 Americans and prioritized the reopening of bars and Disney World over schools.

This is a call to action: It’s time to pay parents to teach our kids this fall — whether 100 percent remotely, or to facilitate the “blended learning” models some school districts, such as New York City’s, plan to adopt.

Parents need to be paid for the work — yes, work — that it takes to raise, and teach, children. Raising children is a full-time job. And it’s long been a duty shouldered as “invisible labor” by women, whether those are unpaid mothers, or women, often of color, who are paid poverty wages as nannies and daycare providers.

America has a big problem right now. Nearly 100,000 kids were diagnosed with COVID-19 in late July, around the time schools started opening up again. The majority of parents work outside the home. With little to no safety net, that leaves parents forced to make hard, and possibly deadly, decisions. That reality is why teachers are protesting with coffins and preparing wills.

Let’s say a kid wakes up with sniffles but no fever. Does the parent stay home or send the kid to school so they can go to work? Reading this, it’s easy to say, “Obviously the parent stays home with the kid. What if the kid has the coronavirus?” But what if skipping work increases that parent’s chance of losing their job, thus jeopardizing their family’s ability to buy food and pay a mortgage or rent?

There’s no one-size-fits-all solution for any family here, but paying parents can provide families with more choices. Parents can then treat caring for kids as the actual job it is. It may reduce the inequality that experts are worried about as well-off parents form education “pods,” which have been called “the new form of school segregation.” And keeping people who might be infected with COVID-19 at home can save more lives.

Are there flaws in this plan? Yes, of course. Paying parents will disproportionately affect moms. I don’t mean to imply that a dad couldn’t teach kids — but given the gender pay gap, and that more women than men have lost paid jobs amid the pandemic, it seems likely that moms will be the ones to take a leave, which could hurt future career prospects unless our culture changes its thinking (more on that later).

I also don’t want to hurt public schools, which depend on enrollment for federal funding. But I don’t see why parents and teachers can’t be partners. Virtual teachers on the computer, parents at home helping to facilitate learning and keeping the coronavirus from spreading. Many kids, especially young ones, struggle with virtual learning and could use the extra support. (The number of times I found my 6-year-old in tears last spring because he couldn’t keep up with virtual first grade was hard to stomach as a parent.)

And I don’t want to assume that every parent wants to stay home with their children or become a homeschool teacher this fall. But, again, every parent should have the choice to, along with some financial support to make it happen.

“If we are asking parents to stop working, work less, work differently, and sacrifice their own careers and dreams (hopefully temporarily) so that they can raise and educate the children we all rely on for the future of our country and planet, our nation should pay them,” wrote Shayla R. Griffin, a doctor and social worker, in Medium. In Slate, Rebecca Onion detailed the current government stimulus plans and how those affect families, and argued that parents should be paid to be full-time caregivers: “The government could ease this fall’s child care crisis and fight COVID with one simple trick.”

Just saw him perform on an old episode of Merv Griffin. Just incredible singing voice. I wonder why the song was so popular. I just listened to the words of the song... I had never heard of him before.

What will be his project? How will he handle entertaining?

What about being the President of the Senate Wives club (as the VP Spouse is automatic President)

How will be handle the duties of the spouse of the VP?

A filing cabinet thread

Funny horror/comedy in case someone wants something to watch. Andie McDowell as a murderous MIL was pretty funny and out of character.

...turned right around and killed the woman who accused him as soon as he was let out.

His accuser, Karla Elizabeth Dominguez Gonzalez, had testified against him in court in December of last year.

Bouaichi was jailed in Alexandria, VA without bond until the pandemic hit, at which point his lawyers argued for his release until trial due to the virus "endangering" inmates. He was released by Circuit Court Judge Nolan Dawkins on $25,000 bond as a result.

Judge Dawkins retired from the bench in June.

Authorities said that federal marshals and Alexandria police spotted and pursued Bouaichi in Prince George's County on Wednesday. He crashed his vehicle and apparently shot himself, authorities said.

Just announced.

Should we ask them if Erna is really dead?

For years, Bryant Park Grill & Cafe in Midtown Manhattan has been one of the country’s top-grossing restaurants, the star property in Ark Restaurants’ portfolio of 20 restaurants across the United States.

But what propelled it to the top has vanished.

The tourists are gone, the office towers surrounding it are largely empty and the restaurant’s 1,000-seat dining room is closed. Instead, dinner is cooked and served on its patio, and the scaled-down restaurant brings in about $12,000 a day — an 85 percent plunge in revenue, its chief executive said.

Five months into the pandemic, the drastic turn of events at businesses like Bryant Park Grill & Cafe that are part of national chains shows how the economic damage in New York has in many cases been far worse than elsewhere in the country.

In the heart of Manhattan, national chains including J.C. Penney, Kate Spade, Subway and Le Pain Quotidien have shuttered branches for good. Many other large brands, like Victoria’s Secret and the Gap, have their kept high-profile locations closed in Manhattan, while reopening in other states.

Michael Weinstein, the chief executive of Ark Restaurants, who owns Bryant Park Grill & Cafe and 19 other restaurants, said he will never open another restaurant in New York.

Of Ark Restaurants’ five Manhattan restaurants, only two have reopened, while its properties in Florida — where the virus is far worse — have expanded outdoor seating with tents and tables into their parking lots, serving almost as many guests as they had indoors.

“There’s no reason to do business in New York,” Mr. Weinstein said. “I can do the same volume in Florida in the same square feet as I would have in New York, with my expenses being much less. The idea was that branding and locations were important, but the expense of being in this city has overtaken the marketing group that says you have to be there.”

Even as the city has contained the virus and slowly reopens, there are ominous signs that some national brands are starting to abandon New York. The city is home to many flagship stores, chains and high-profile restaurants that tolerated astronomical rents and other costs because of New York’s global cachet and the reliable onslaught of tourists and commuters.

But New York today looks nothing like it did just a few months ago.

I just found out like right now

Presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden will soon announce his pick for vice president ahead of the election in November - and he's already pledged it will be a woman.

Please see Predictions for 2020 Part 2. I'm R17 and R53. It's good news for Kamala and bad news for Joe.

At least it says it's Karen Valentine, I'd never have recognized her.

I wonder if they will allow Americans to come in and get it, since the U.S. is far from getting one.

Smash Mouth played in front of packed crowd over the weekend during the Sturgis Rally in South Dakota. Normally, we’d only question the attendees’ choice of music, but considering that the United States is still very much in the middle of a deadly pandemic, the problems are far greater.

And as you can see in the videos below, the heavy majority of the crowd was not abiding by the recommend six feet of separation nor were many attendees seen wearing face coverings. Smash Mouth frontman Steve Harwell can even be heard screaming: “We’re all here together tonight! F— that COVID s—!”

The Strugis Rally, an annual gathering of motorcycle aficionados, was held this past weekend in South Dakota despite the pandemic, which has infected more than 5 million people in the U.S. alone and killed more than 160,000. The 10-day festival was expected to attract 250,000 people.

According to the event’s website, attendees were encouraged (though clearly not obligated) to follow the Centers for Disease Control’s pandemic guidelines and promised that hand sanitizer would be available. The website also said that “Guests will be required to have a mask with them when they enter the amphitheater” and that masks would be available for purchase at entry points.

Much is made about Gwyneth Paltrow's well-connected pedigree. However, how famous was her dad? I'd never heard of him until GP became famous. And Blythe Danner, while certainly a respected theatre actress, was hardly Meryl Streep. Explain please?

So exciting! She told Biden “I wanna run with you”.

My liberal friends are insane, ready to get offended constantly and have lost all sense of humor. The conservatives are horrible low-key racists, always ready to go off on a conspiracy tangent and support Trump. What do I do?

Take that Trump!!!!!

Well, I called my congressman and he said, 'Quote':

Are they interested and are they keeping a tab on our sexual sins and antics?

Has anyone started a thread yet?

Deal with it. Just watched a CBS segment and they all but announced it would be KH.

Has it been 21 years? Back when there good movies for adults, instead of justaction sequels and animation.

A gay subplot. Kevin Spacey. Wes Bentley, before he disappeared for a decade into drugs. Annette Benning as a frigid shrew. And WHET Thora Birch and Mena Suvari?

No time to be humble, our girl did it!!!! She'll be VP and the future president of the US.

We rule the rest don't !!!!

Screwed up the title in my other post - sorry guys!

Dangerous Liaisons: superb cast except for Keanu, who sticks out like a sore thumb and was rather obviously a cynical casting ploy to get younger asses in seats. It’s especially galling that Uma Thurman, who I think was consistently underrated, gave one of her better performances opposite him (and looked completely correct for the period).

Rules of Attraction: note-perfect work from a cast that isn’t otherwise particularly note-worthy – save for Kip Pardue, who delivers such a wooden scene with co-star Shannyn Sossamon near the end that her reaction seems to be less to his dialogue and more to his bad acting.

Gosford Park: Stephen Fry is misdirected here, but the real clunker is Trent Ford, who can barely recite his lines. It’s thrown into glaring relief due to the fact that Ford’s character, Mr. Blond (that name!), only makes any kind of sense if he’s Lord Rupert Standish’s lover – although his actions in the film seem conclusively to show that he’s not.

This is just the latest incident of an anti-masker targeting the workers of a local store with ridiculous claims of their "rights" being taken away, threatening to call the authorities and/or sue among other things. But what do you think should happen in situations like these? Besides the workers simply saying "These papers are bullshit" and possibly causing more confrontation, I think they should calmly and politely say, "You remain here and I will go get my manager AND call the local law enforcement so you can make a formal complaint". I have the feeling that in a huge majority of these cases, the anti-maskers will flee before the LEOs even show up. Also, I'm not a fan of doxxing, but that woman's accent (Russian?) makes me suspicious and would love to know her background.

There’ll be revolt among the base, apparently.

Also, the media will crucify him. And her.

Past or present. Top or bottom daddies.

They will be forced to change "Master and Servant" to something that doesn't reinforce the racist patriarchy!

The song is LITERAL VIOLENCE!

Viola Davis has bought the house she was born in and the surrounding land, and she has announced this news on her 55th birthday. If you don’t know, Viola was born on a former plantation in South Carolina.

“The above is the house where I was born August 11, 1965. It is the birthplace of my story. Today on my 55th year of life….I own it….all of it,” Viola posted on Tuesday (August 11) to mark her birthday.

She added a quote to her tweet, which read “May you live long enough to know why you were born” which is a Cherokee Birth Blessing.

Viola spoke about the home back in 2016, telling EW, “I wasn’t on it long, because I was the fifth child, and so we moved soon after I was born. I mean, I went back to visit briefly but still not aware of the history. I think I read one slave narrative of someone who was on that plantation which was horrific. 160 acres of land, and my grandfather was a sharecropper. Most of my uncles and cousins, they’re farmers. That’s the choice that they had. My grandmother’s house was a one room shack. I have a picture of it on my phone because I think it’s a beautiful picture.”

I'm the pork belly served on a wooden slab!

Anyone one else dealing with a covid related break up? I started dating a guy right before Christmas. Things were starting to get serious around March and then the lockdown hit and really didn't see each other for a few weeks. When we did get back together, the spark seemed gone and it felt more forced. We broke up a little over a week ago, and I just can't get out of this funk. It's odd, cause I've had much more serious relationships break off and usually moved forward quickly. I think not being able to do much is giving me too much time to think! What about you guys? Has covid negatively affected your relationships?

“Hot Rods” Is a Hilarious Homage to Fire Island’s ’70s Gay Porn Past Meat Rack memories... by Christopher Rudolph 16h ago

Fire Island has seen its share of drama this summer, so let a new magazine take you back to the queer vacation destination’s simpler—and sexier—times.

Author and SNL producer Greg Scarnici—who you may recognize from his drag alter ego, Levonia—has previously released two collections of humorous essays, I Hope My Mother Doesn’t Read This, and Dungeons and Drag Queens—but his latest, Hot Rods, is a parody of ’70s gay porn magazines.

Hot Rods was shot on Fire Island, the place Scarnici calls home during the summer. The magazine features candid clandestine hookups on the beach, and at classic Fire Island locations like the Belvedere Hotel in Cherry Grove and the infamous cruising area known as the Meat Rack.

“I decided to recreate a vintage gay porn magazine here on Fire Island because I came across a few 70’s porn magazines at a thrift store a few years ago and they inspired me on so many levels.” Scarnici told Instinct. “The men all had lean, natural, un-manscaped torsos, the books were so over-designed and the stories were terribly written. Since I live on Fire Island all summer long, I thought it would be fun to recreate one of these magazines using vintage clothes and toupees with some performer friends of mine.”

Scarnici says that Hot Rods is “a tongue-in-cheek love letter to the bygone era of printed erotica and a time when style and design seemed to be the main focus of these kinds of magazines.” The “dirty mag” parody contains five pictorials—which were shot last year—that are accompanied by “erotic” tales that will be sure to “titillate your funny bone.”

So even if coronavirus has you skipping Fire Island this summer you can still go there with Hot Rods. The parody magazine is available on Scarnici’s website and at the General Store in Fire Island Pines and FIG in Cherry Grove. See some sexy pics from the book below.

There are dozens I SUPPOSE are gay but don't have much proof for.

The lyrics and video are shocking and lewd!

Mine would be the rather forthright sometimes battle Ann Kelsey played by the brilliant Jill Eikenberry. She seemed the most idealistic of the characters yet paradoxically also the most real and grounded. To me Susan Deys character was often a little monochrome ,didnt have the sparkle of Ann who I found so watchable.

Talk about gossip!

Curiosity about a link someone posted led me over to Youtube and the videos submitted by Lady Colin Campbell.

I started with the most recent one and have been working backwards. She answers questions submitted by viewers.

Name dropper extraordinaire!

So far, she's answered questions about Meghan and Harry (of course, lots of questions submitted about them), Kanga, Catherine Oxenberg which led to a discussion about JFK and a question asking how good was JFK in bed, Lord Lucan and the famous murder & disappearance, Consuelo Vanderbilt, Lady CC ex-husband who she labeled "a sociopath", and Lady CC's recent experience with the internet and "Sugars" and the PR of the Sussex team. This led to a fierce speech directly to the camera specifically warning "Sunshiny" people that she will become a very rich woman when she sues, as she has done before.

And I'm only partly through the 2nd video (moving backward from the most recent).

She mentions Dominic Dunne too. Sitting and listening to those 2 gossip together would have been a hoot,

Continue, camp lovers 🏕

For me, it's people (like my husband) who season the food on their plate before even tasting it. I just spent time cooking you a delightful meal, how dare you!

Anybody have any good ones? I want to rebuild my library during COVID but I don't want to put any more money in Bezo's wallet.

The mass amount of unemployment and now the fortune 500 are banning together to vow to hire and train millions. Is this turning out to be the corporate take over of America? It seems like a nice thing to do, but are they just using a tragedy to hire people at below par wages and train them to keep them legally tied to their employer? - or am I just a nut job

May they rest in peace.

The U.S. postmaster general, a major Trump donor and loyalist, announced in a Friday memo that he was reassigning and displacing 23 US Postal Service executives, including two who oversee day-to-day operations, the Washington Post reports.

The news caused alarm in Democratic circles, three months from a presidential election which plans to rely heavily on mail-in voting amid the coronavirus pandemic. “Friday Night Massacre” trended on Twitter at the news.

The News and Record reports: “DeJoy’s recent selection as postmaster general by the governing board sparked questions from some political observers because he is a prominent Republican fundraiser who donated heavily to Trump in recent years, reportedly more than $1 million. The president’s frequent warnings that he believes mail-in ballots are prone to fraud and could lead to a rigged election has left some wondering what DeJoy had in mind when he took the job.”

A few years ago, about 3/4 of the people in my friends, family, and acquaintances were millionaires. I found that the cliches about how rich people treat poor people badly were absolutely true. I was completely broke, which they knew, but they bragged constantly about their wealth. They might pay for a lunch, but use it as an excuse to vent their anger about life.

What is your experience in dealing with wealthy people?

Some motherfucker here is all about posting about the "aughts" and the "early aughts"

Can someone educate me on this word. Is this the EIGHTIES, aka "the 80's"???

Premieres Sunday night (July 19) on TNT.

Starring Daniel Bruhl, Luke Evans, and Dakota Fanning.

It was a smash hit with Dataloungers last year. Will you be watching?

This couple confuses me sometimes I'm team Deavan and then other times team Jihoon. He seems very immature but I suspect he may be trying. On the other hand, she complains and complains and criticizes him non stop. Sure at times she sure has a good reason but... Then with her mother in the mix, it seems to be a disaster. Mom just wants her home and I think Deavan wants Jihoon to be what he cannot be..

The rumor goes that she sucked off (and swallowed) so many sailors in a bar in San Diego that he landed in the hospital and needed to have her stomach pumped.

When George reappeared why didn't Blanche ask about his infidelity? Just one year before she found out he had fathered a son whilst married to her and it devastated her.

Surely when her rage subsided about him faking his own death she would want answers about this?

How did I miss this campy mess when it originally aired?

Catherine Hicks is amazing...well, if she were acting in an Almodovar film. However in this situation it is extreme hilarity in action.

The daughter started a petition to get her "fired" teacher her job back. Annie (the mom) signed it immediately. Now it is revealed that the teacher has breast cancer and just wanted privacy. Annie quickly shoved the whole mess under the rug.

Now her dad (saddled with early Alzheimers) just revealed she has a stepsister. "NO! I'm his only daughter...I'M YOUR ONLY DAUGHTERRRRRRR!!!!!"

The other major issue: the hot little house biy didn't register/vote in the 2000 Presidential election.

They are used as targets by the other side and don't actually represent the majority.

One of Lance Bass's ex-boyfriends is opening up about the musician, and claims that he's a little bitter about the success that Justin Timberlake has had since *NSYNC had split up.

Cedric Martinez, who appeared on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, spoke out in a podcast about his relationship with Lance, and hinted that Lance was very bitter and maybe jealous of Justin.

“[He] said they are not close,” Cedric told Behind the Velvet Rope with David Yontef about Lance's relationships with the members of *NSYNC.

He added that “the only person that kept coming up within the conversation was Justin Timberlake.”

“I don’t know what the situation is now, but I think at the time he felt a bit burned and disappointed that the friendship had kind of fizzled out or something, you know? So I think that Lance felt, you know, Justin had a big head and he thought it was a star. And so there was a hint of bitterness. But hey, I mean, I would have been maybe feeling the same...I think there was a bit of animosity there.”

Cedric continued, saying that "Justin kept coming up more than other members" and that he didn't even know the names of the other members of the group.

“Just Lance and Justin!” he said. “So the other guys, I have no idea what they are. But something must have happened. He never went into the details. But he did not like the fact that Justin was acting and seemed to be doing everything and you know, and Lance was trying to restart a career."

In this 1986 film, Harry Mitchell (Roy Scheider) is a successful businessman with mechanical aptitude living in the suburbs of Los Angeles whose wife Barbara (Ann-Margret) is running for city council. Harry is confronted by three hooded blackmailers who demand $105,000 per year for a videotape of him and the mistress, Cini (Kelly Preston), with whom he has been having an affair.

His twitter bio says “don’t call me ‘cis’”.

I believe the president Made America Great Again. I believe we need him reelected to Make America Great Again Again.

I believe Joe Biden is “Sleepy” and “weak.” I believe Biden could “hurt God” and the Bible.

I believe that if Biden is elected, there will be “no religion, no anything,” and he would confiscate all guns, “immediately and without notice.” He would “abolish” “our great,” “beautiful suburbs,” not to mention “the American way of life.” There would be “no windows, no nothing” in buildings.

I believe the news media would have “no ratings” and “will go down along with our great USA!” if the president loses — and that this would be bad even though the media is fake.

I believe it’s normal for the president to say “Yo Semites” and “Yo Seminites,” “Thigh Land,” “Minne-a-napolis,” “toe-tally-taria-tism,” “Thomas Jeffers” and “Ulyss-eus S. Grant.” I believe it’s Biden who’s cognitively impaired.

I believe the president “aced” a “very hard” impairment test, and that his “very surprised” doctors found this “unbelievable.” I believe it was “amazing” he remembered five words, such as “person, woman, man, camera, TV” — in correct order. I believe he took the SAT himself.

I believe the president has “a natural ability,” like his “great, super-genius uncle” from MIT, which is why he understands “that whole world” of virology and epidemiology.

So I believed the president in January and February when he said covid-19 was “totally under control,” that it was Democrats’ “new hoax,” and that he was “not at all” worried about a pandemic. I believed him in March when he said he “felt it was a pandemic long before it was called a pandemic.”

I believe the president and the doctor who believes in demon sperm and the medical use of space alien DNA, and not Anthony S. Fauci, who’s an “alarmist” and “wrong.”

I’m watching Suspiria by Luca Guadagnino. Tilda Swnton is a great witch. Weird movie, and good.

He’s to sexy to be single and apparently still is. I’ve never really seen a female on his IG feed, in stories or pics. He always takes pics of his dogs and there is always a male normally taking his videos. Anyone know his story?

An A-bomb gets dropped on Hiroshima. Nuclear fallout kills and sickens people over a matter of, I guess a few days, and then dissipates into the atmosphere. The town is rebuilt and it is safe to live there all these years later.

An accident happens at a nuclear power plant in Ukraine (Chernobyl). Nuclear fallout kills and sickens people for what is projected to be thousands of years. It does not dissipate into the atmosphere. Or if it does, it is over thousands of years. The area is not safe to live in all these thousands of years.

Why does the fallout behave differently in these two scenarios? There's probably a simple explanation, but I'm just not getting it.

WHET?

is she fat now? is she subsisting on cloth hand bags like a child might own?

I love her. Her talent is making the mundane interesting. Is she the best drag queen on YouTube?

What the hell is a hater anyways?

I was awful at the physical portion of gym/PE. I'd run a lap and have that sharp pain in my side that I could have avoided if we were taught how to breathe when we ran. And the gym teacher was an extremely short-tempered control freak who would lose his shit in red-faced, full-throated screaming tirades. I was normally a smart mouth, but I probably didn't say one whole sentence in 2 years of PE with him. "Yessir". "No sir".

Also, I probably didn't wash my PE uniform at all in those 2 years.

Just came across this article from 2007, didn't notice any threads on it.

It's interesting or offensive, not sure which.

Madison Cawthorn, a 24-year-old Republican candidate in North Carolina, spoke with BuzzFeed News about age comparisons to AOC and his desire for Confederate statues to come down because “these people seceded from our country.”

Madison Cawthorn is a hardcore Republican. The 24-year-old opposes so-called sanctuary cities, universal healthcare, and abortion — and is a climate change skeptic. He’s a committed Christian who wants to cut government spending. He counts Charlie Kirk and Ben Shapiro as his conservative role models.

He is also very likely to be the first Gen Z member of Congress.

“I want to be a different kind of candidate. We want to set ourselves apart. We’ve been sending the exact same thing to Washington so many times,” Cawthorn told BuzzFeed News. “Congress is designed to be a cross-section of the American people and it’s definitely not.”

On Tuesday night, Cawthorn won the Republican primary in North Carolina’s 11th Congressional District, besting his 62-year-old opponent, Lynda Bennett, by winning two-thirds of the vote. She had been endorsed by President Donald Trump and Mark Meadows, the former representative of the district who is now serving as the White House chief of staff.

Given the traditionally conservative politics of the seat, which takes up most of Western North Carolina, Cawthorn is now the odds-on favorite to win in November, when he will face Democrat Moe Davis, a retired Air Force colonel and prosecutor at Guantánamo Bay.

If he is elected, Cawthorn will become the youngest member of Congress, taking office at just 25 — the minimum age set forth in the Constitution.

But just as polls show there are some generational divides among young and older conservatives, some of Cawthorn’s views splinter from the most vocal senior members of his party.

Unlike Trump, for example, he believes statues of Confederate generals should be taken down — albeit by government process, not by those protesting against racism, and not necessarily because they are memorials glorifying racism. “These people seceded from our country. They declared war on the United States. I don’t necessarily want to have hero worship for them,” he said. “I do believe statues romanticize history.”

I discovered these little earwax cleaners/exfoliators/scratchers and I'm crazy hooked on them!

I have a weird obsession about keeping the inside of my ears clean and I always feel like I have wax buildup or that something's blocking them. That isn't the case but these little silicone exfoliators rake-out (or "scoop") wax and are perfect... (PERFECT!) for those insane ear-itching episodes. Truly one of those little discoveries I'm glad I made. They're also made in the U.S. which is a plus. I've never recommended any item or product on DL but I'd suggested you guys order a box of these.

What are some of the products you're loving right now?

I used to know a woman who worked on a cruise ship. She said that part of her job was to work the disco. If she saw a guy who wasn't dancing, she had to go up to him and ask him if he wanted to dance.

Alkies, no trash talk please. Stay out.

Much like serial killers and white subway tiles before it, Fraus are seemingly becoming obsessed with Pedophilia, specifically slanging accusations & memes on social media. This Epstein & Trafficking stuff has brought the crazy out in them, especially the conservative one. “CHILD MOLESTORS!” they scream. I think really they should deal with the fact that they possibly were molested at home, where in fact the most molestation happens by family members and goes unreported. Seems to be a lot of projection, much like homophobic repressed homos.

Any DLers ever go to Hillside or other gay camp grounds?

What are they like?

Jussie was in NYC at a BLM protest. With his charges in Chicago pending, is his presence a good thing or a self serving move? I feel he should lay low and not devalue today's protests with his presence. What he did in Chicago was self serving and almost caused a race riot with his "2 white men wearing MAGA hats attacking him at a Subway in the middle of a freezing night" lie. Can't wait until the Osundario brothers testify about their part in his hoax.

I am 40 years old, average looking, average dick, decent income. There is so much I should be grateful for - and I am - but I am overcome with jealousy of attractive gay men. Guys like Matthew Dempsey or Brandon Osorio or any of those pretty gays on instagram that have boyfriends, have gay men they are friends with who are equally as hot (yet they don't seem to want to sleep with - I'm incapable of being friends with attractive men for that reason). Any tips on how to not hate myself when looking at these guys?

It's mind-boggling that Bill and Hillary are not self-aware enough to realize that having them both speak at the Convention is a huge net negative.

Bill is just going to antagonize the entire #MeToo movement and allow the GOP to say "how can you talk about Trump being disrespectful to women when you let Bill speak at the convention?"

And Hillary will provide Trump with a 15 minute infomercial -- "Look Deplorables! The Devil Herself is endorsing Biden! She is going to be his Secretary of State! More Benghazis!! More child sex slaves in the pizza place!"

Are they really that delusional as to think they will be greeted with open arms and not seen as symbols of the party's greatest failures? Not to mention the whole dynasty thing.

If they had any sense they would say "thank you for thinking of us, but we think we'd be more help cultivating the donors who are our friends and making sure you have money to defeat Trump. We'll be glad to speak once you win."

Why doesn't E! update some of these old episodes and repair the series. I saw on wiki that over 500 episodes were made. They could add new footage and voiceovers and have months of new content.

Whose new & improved episode do you want to see? Ellen? Bruce/Caitlyn? DL fave Michael Weatherly?

He's hot as fuck

The executive order and accompanying memoranda signed by Donald Trump are receiving a negative response because many feel that they don’t do enough to help the millions of Americans who are struggling in the midst of the pandemic.

The order itself fails to extend the eviction moratorium, doesn’t provide additional funding to help struggling renters and homeowners, and keeps millions of renters at risk for eviction over the coming months. In essence, the order passes the buck to other officials to ultimately decide whether another moratorium is necessary.

Let’s share some cute/funny/interesting animal videos!

LOL! I swear this could have been stolen from the Mark Harris Twitter thread where old shows were being reimagined with "gritty" premises a la Perry Mason.

He adds that that "I've never seen such energy. He's always working."

What a schmuck.

Jeff is needing funds for the new school year - can YOU help him out?

If so, is it for protection or some other purpose?

A fourth child in Louisiana has died of multi-system inflammatory syndrome, the inflammatory illness associated with coronavirus, according to a statement from the Louisiana Department of Health.

The condition causes inflammation of the heart, lungs, kidneys, brain, skin, eyes or gastrointestinal organs. Some children have gone into cardiac arrest and needed ventilators.

Can't wait for this sh*t show to start again. I can't be the only one obsessed with it.

All my life, I've found it hard to maintain my weekday 7 a.m. constitution on weekends. This typically results in an urgent, stomach-churning dash to the gents on Monday morning.

I figured with COVID and working at home, I would fix the situation by keeping the same weekend schedule as I do on weekdays: meals at the same time, same sleeping schedule, same daily fiber supplement, etc.

It's still not working.

My partner says to plant it on the jon and force myself to go "even if takes an hour". But that doesn't work for me. I'm not being potty-trained, and my body simply won't "go" just because I insist it do so.

Any DLers have any tips for maintaining regular momentum on weekends?

He's gross right?

Interesting candidate running for a seat in Congress, representing North Carolina.

He's a 24 year old Republican who ran against and recently beat Trump's "pick" in the North Carolina primary.

Madison is very handsome, and I didn't realize he was in a wheelchair, having been paralyzed in a car accident when a friend who was driving, fell asleep at the wheel.

Though I don't support his views, he does have an interesting story.

If he wins, he could be the youngest person ever in U.S. history to be sworn in as a Congressman.

He's gross right?

I get that now. All my life, I was under weight. Like a good twenty pounds under weight, more like thirty. I wasn't eating three times a day...there was a Lot of stress in my life. I was okay shortchanging myself. I fit into anything I wanted to. I was slim. I felt good about my ability to look that way effortlessly....even though I was sometimes dizzy.

....I've since gained weight. Like 35 pounds. My metabolism has probably slowed, but I'm certainly eating more. And now, friends and would-be lovers have noted the change. That I have a fuller face. That I look "normal". That I'm "fat". It's just jokes, but still...it's hurtful. Dismissive.

I'm starting to exercise - something I never needed to do before because of under eating and metabolism - and realizing how slowly you get results. And how cruel it feels to punish your body so no one will turn up their nose at you. I'm trying to eat less and eat better...but I'm not a bad eater. So it's a question of working out more I guess. I don't mind that...but I feel like I'm being compared to what I was. Like that was "healthy".

The bottom line is that to look the way I used to again, I'd have to start skipping meals on purpose. Thing is, I'm healthier now. I'm actually within my appropriate weight for my height...!

...but it seems to people that I've let myself go. How weird is that? I think I finally get it. Why so many people have disorders and hangups. You get older, things change and...that's as it should be.

So depressing. I shouldn't feel badly. I'm finally doing what others always did...eat well. Who cares that I don't have abs or as much thigh gap? Is that really so important?

Just needed to say that.

Is he as big a prick as he seems?

He's part of the new cast for American Horror Story's new season (1984). Doesn't seem to be much out there on him aside from things mainly about Evan Rachel Wood.....

“Social media posts that followed a police-involved shooting in Chicago encouraged looting as "tempers flared, fueled by misinformation," Police Supt. David Brown said after an evening of unrest led to more than 100 arrests and left downtown businesses damaged for a second time this summer.”

“Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot said despite social media reports that the person shot was a juvenile, the suspect wounded was actually a 20-year-old man.”

"This was not an unarmed juvenile as unfortunately is being propagated on social media," she said.

Prince Harry felt like a third wheel — and even like “a gooseberry” — when he carried out official engagements alongside brother Prince William and Kate Middleton, according to one royal expert.

“Harry felt very much like a spare wheel,” Katie Nicholl, told “Entertainment Tonight”, citing excerpts she has read from the upcoming tell-all biography, “Finding Freedom: Harry and Meghan and the Making of a Modern Royal Family.”

The book says Harry was unhappy for some time, Nicholl said.

California has now approved a pilot plan to pay $1,250 to anyone who tests positive for coronavirus to encourage them to “stay at home and self isolate”. Alameda County’s Board of Supervisors has set aside $10 million for the program, which will allow payments to 7,500 people, according to the Daily Mail. The program was approved as the county hit a new high in daily coronavirus cases and as California continues to “struggle” to contain the outbreak in its state.

Any questions?

This is a sad commentary of our medical industry today.

It's a charming show. I'm nearly through Season 3 and it's interesting because it's unlike any other sitcom I've ever seen. Don and Ann actually experience real emotions. There's very little slapstick, it's quite unusual for an American sitcom.

One question though: was the hair real? That thick black hair with the famous flip? Very pretty but can't figure out if it's real or not. Anyway, I'm really enjoying the show. I'm going to watch all the seasons. It's interesting seeing how it's evolving.

Madonna is working on a screenplay with Diablo Cody, per a video that the pop star posted on her Instagram account. In the video, Madonna eats peanuts and describes her iconic Jean Paul Gaultier cone bra outfit while Cody types diligent notes. On a coffee table are a bunch of notebooks.

It seems likely, or at least possible, that they are working on a biopic about Madonna’s life. “When you’re stuck in a house with multiple injuries what do you do.?” Madonna wrote in the Instagram caption. “Write a Screenplay with Diablo Cody about…………..,” followed by a bunch of music-related emojis.

A few years ago, a script for a potential biopic about Madonna’s early career made the rounds (not written by Cody) but was never produced, maybe because Madonna wasn’t a fan, calling it “lies and exploitation.”

In 2015, Cody wrote the script for Ricki And The Flash, which starred Meryl Streep as an aging rocker. Her most recent project was the script for the Alanis Morissette musical Jagged Little Pill.

In other Madonna news, she just left her label Interscope after nearly a decade, having fulfilled her three-album contract with last year’s Madame X.

David Tennant and Michael Sheen will play actors who have been furloughed for a new BBC series called Staged.

The pair, who starred in Amazon Prime Video‘s Good Omens together last year, will reunite for a six-part series that depicts them as actors who are trying to keep rehearsals for a halted West End production alive during lockdown.

The show, produced for BBC One by Infinity Hill and GCB Films, is due to air in June and is written/directed by British theatre director Simon Evans.

Variety reports that the set up looks shift between on-stage and off-stage fiction and true-life reality. Self-shooting and video conference technology will be incorporated, as expected from a virtually produced show made during the coronavirus lockdown.

Besides Tennant and Sheen, the cast included actress Georgia Tennant (In the Dark) and Anna Lundberg, who are Tennant and Sheen’s partners in real-life.

Theatre actress Lucy Eaton also appears on the show, for which each episode will last 15 minutes. Guest stars are also planned, including Nina Sosanya (Last Tango in Halifax).

“It’s so important that the BBC provides moments of humour and light relief and this mischievous idea shows what great sports Michael and David are,” said Charlotte Moore, director BBC Content, who commissioned the show.

We have a winner in Bill De Blasio.

Cardi B has revealed that she has spoken to Joe Biden and that she told him if he wants people to vote for him “we don’t want no false promises.”

Speaking in a new interview, the rapper, who released her new track ‘WAP’ with Megan Thee Stallion earlier this week, discussed the presumptive Democratic candidate, the upcoming election, and the urgent need to vote.

Asked how she felt about being “stuck with Biden” after Bernie Sanders – who she originally voiced support for – dropped out of the race, Cardi said: “I’m salty but I’m okay,” before revealing, “I spoke to Joe Biden.”

Cardi then appearing to clam up, as if someone behind the camera was telling her not to disclose the conversation between the two. After being asked to elaborate further by host Charlamagne Tha God, she eventually went into more detail.

“What I’m saying is that I know him,” she continued. “I always felt like Biden balanced Obama because I thought he was conservative and that’s what swayed the conservative votes, the ones in the middle. Knowing him and everything, I think he’s getting it and I think he understands the people’s pain. He’s getting what we want. People think we want so much, but we want really simple things if you really think about it.”

Cardi said she told the former vice president that he should listen to the people’s demands: “I tried to let him know like, listen we don’t want no false promises. We don’t want no fake shit to get people voting. This is what we want. Please make it happen.”

Do you take advantage of this?

Or do you never go?

If you do go - what do you do there? Sunbathe, swim, surfin' safari, cruise the other gay folk? Do you love it?

Do you like to go to the beach in winter?... long bracin' walks with the dog?

Is a wonderful expression I learned in the US and there are times when it becomes the only way to describe someone.

A crush of mine recently joined my gym and because I like him I assumed my reaction to him was only my own attraction.

He has a great body, but is not so tall, nice face and over 40 but he walks around like the world is his bitch. Straight, married and quite kind. Is it just pheremones that produce this reaction? Today in the locker room he gave me a nod as he walked by and the man behind me said to his friend. "I feel as if I should spread my legs each time he looks at me." 4 of us began talking about it. The walk? The confidence?

Are there people in your life that reek of sex as if they invented it?

I'm sittin' here thinkin' about Mary Wickes (I'm 45 yrs old).

Not dating apps, but actual old-timey matchmakers with their own connections who set you up for potential marriage. Ones devoted exclusively to gay guys, not straight ones that take on a few gays clients.

Now that Aaron has "broken up" with Manica and the other thread has been paywall locked, let's continue the discussion here.

I’m sure there’s been a thread like this, but who are some unconventionally attractive people you’re nevertheless hot for. For me, this is where most of my pro-athlete crushes go.

I’ll (cautiously) start:

I’ll say Andrew Luck kinda does it for me. Former Colts QB. He’s not the most conventionally attractive guy. Unkempt beard, somewhat thinning uncoifed hair, hard, toothy smile, intense stare that doesn’t really change, voice sounds like a werewolf in mid-transformation.

But he’s 6’4 240 lbs. He’s a Stanford graduate. He reads a lot (known for suggesting books to his teammates). He’s known for actually complimenting his opponents. All his teammates talk about what a good guy he is. And, I saw a photo one of his teammates tweeted out that showed him getting dressed in the locker room and had it not been for some guy with a cell phone, we would’ve seen his goodies. But I did see he has a toned, solid body with legs like tree trunks and, well, I kinda wanna climb him.

The state of Illinois is now going to allow up to $5,000 for about 30,000 renters behind on their rent due to Covid-19.

I've been listening to "classic rock" more than usual lately and recently discovered how great Rod Stewart's early albums were (+ his work with The Faces). Every Picture Tells a Story has quickly become a favourite album of mine. It surprised me to discover that his music was quite well regarded in it's time. Even, Robert Christgau gave the album Every Picture Tells a Story an A+ rating, and he seems to be particularly hard to please. So, with this in mind... when did Rod Stewart become a joke? When he released "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy?"? When he transitioned to only singing standards? What am I missing? He seemed to "sell out" pretty quickly! Please enlighten me!

I never get tired of these:

Okay, I surrender - you guys infected me with the royal bug. I got inspired by the BRF jewels discussion in the neighbouring thread and spent an embarrassing amount of time looking up tiaras. One of my favourites is the Luxembourg Vine Leaves Tiara, worn by Princess Claire on her wedding day. It was created in the 1850s for the Grand Duchess Charlotte of Luxembourg and is made of diamonds, silver and gold.

Which are your favourite royal tiaras and crowns and what are their fascinating stories?

He is badly cast in both and lots of people are looking for reasons to hate on him.

The nation's coin shortage, prompted by less cash circulating as a result of Covid-19 - is getting worse.

And believe it or not, cash is still being used in 49% of payments that are $10 or below, according to a recent study by the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, reported on by Bloomberg.

The irony of the situation lies in the fact that the Fed can print trillions for bonds, but can't come up with a couple of quarters to do its laundry. Despite the Fed's best efforts to keep money circulating, there is still a coin shortage in the U.S. The effects are being felt in places like laundromats, where coins are used to do laundry.

Brian Wallace, president and CEO of the Coin Laundry Association (we swear this is an actual organization), said: “This is just an unexpected wrench in the works that I don’t think any of us could have anticipated, finding ourselves short on

The worst has to be the 58 year old closet case from Maryland with the 19 year old fiancee from the Philippines, who looks like a transexual. And they got married!

I can't believe that there are so many American suckers, falling for these foreigners who are just looking to become citizens.

The gay Mormon boy from Idaho, marrying the Russian girl from Prague? The Jamaican guy who wants to send all of his income to his family back home, while his gf in Pennsylvania pays all the bills?

Forget the fucking wall. Close the K-1 Visa!

I do have to admit, though. Alexei from Israel is super hot!

There are many, but I believe Billy Joel's "Scenes From an Italian Restaurant" is one of the best. It's far more complex, beautiful, and meaningful than any Beatles shit including "Hey Jude" and their other sappy drivel.

I'm not even a real Billy Joel fan, I hate Piano Man and find some of his songs pretty bad, but this one is amazing and stands the test of time. It has musicality, it's interesting, it sets the scene, and it does such a good job at telling its story that you feel as though you know the characters.

Yes or no?

This Trump loving cunt that goes by the name of Anna Peric.

I KNOW some of you are all over this shit. I'm dying to watch a good espionage drama series, movie or documentary. I LOVED The Americans on FX, I LOVED Deutschland 83 and Deutschland 86 on Hulu and The Mire on Netflix and Homeland on Showtime.

WASHINGTON — President Trump tweeted on Monday that he is choosing between two locations, Gettysburg, Pa., and the White House, for his speech accepting the Republican nomination, scheduled for the night of Aug. 27.

“We have narrowed the Presidential Nomination Acceptance Speech, to be delivered on the final night of the Convention (Thursday), to two locations - The Great Battlefield of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, and the White House, Washington, D.C,” Trump wrote, adding, “We will announce the decision soon!”

Gettysburg was the site of one of the bloodiest battles of the Civil War, which resulted in over 50,000 Union and Confederate troop casualties in 1863. It was a crucial turning point in the war, as Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee’s efforts to invade the North were halted. Months later, the battle inspired one of the most famous political speeches in American history, when President Abraham Lincoln delivered the Gettysburg Address and praised those who died in support of efforts to keep the country united despite Southern attempts to secede.

Trump previously suggested in an interview on Aug. 5 that he might deliver the speech from the White House. Plans for the Republican National Convention have repeatedly been scaled back due to the coronavirus pandemic. Trump’s idea of using the White House prompted criticism — including from some Republican senators — that it would be a violation of the Hatch Act, a 1939 law that limits partisan activity by federal employees. The president has insisted it would be “legal” for him to deliver a convention speech from the White House complex. Since Trump took office, ethics officials have found multiple members of his administration to be in violation of the act, but there have been few legal consequences.

The Republican convention, which will be capped by Trump’s speech formally accepting the party’s presidential nomination, was originally scheduled for Charlotte, N.C. Trump moved it to Jacksonville, Fla., after North Carolina’s Democratic governor said the event would need to be scaled down due to the pandemic. Late last month, Trump announced that the plans for events in Florida would be scrapped due to surging coronavirus cases there.

This will be the first election since 1944 in which neither of the major party candidates speaks from the site of the party’s convention. Democrats announced in late June that their convention, planned for Milwaukee, would be largely virtual. On Aug. 5, the Democratic National Convention Committee announced that former Vice President Joe Biden, the presumptive Democratic nominee, would make his acceptance speech from his home state of Delaware.

Gettysburg is a highly symbolic choice, particularly amid the renewed debate over racial issues that has gripped the country in recent months. Black Lives Matter protesters who have called for police reform have also sought to topple Confederate monuments in multiple cities. Trump has actively opposed the removal of Confederate monuments and specifically sought to prevent the removal of statues of Lee, who led the Southern military forces during the Civil War.

At her briefing on Monday afternoon, White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany was asked what message the president aimed to send with the potential Gettysburg site. She declined to answer apart from suggesting that Trump hopes to highlight efforts he’s made to unify the country amid “unprecedented challenges.”

“I won’t get ahead of the president as to what his convention speech will look like, but the president has done a lot to bring this country together,” McEnany said, adding, “He has a strong record of achievement that he’ll be touting on that day.”

Trump discussed the site of his speech during a news conference on Monday evening. The president said he has visited Gettysburg “numerous times.”

“It’s the history. It’s incredible actually. To me, it was a very important place —it is a very important place for our country,” Trump said.

At least he wants us to think he is.

I couldn't believe my eyes when I read this. WHO THE FUCK is making these piss poor decisions?

We already have an old candidate, so what better than to drag out an old Democrat so unpopular she lost to Shitler? And on top of that, Bill. Why not just have a flashing "Jeffrey Epstein" sign on the stage to compete with Trump's? With the current climate, who better than a neoliberal who vilified blacks and another who was Republican-lite on prisons and welfare.

Once we get Trump out of office the DNC needs to clean house top to bottom.

He can’t act and it’s yet another remake. Why!?

Carla Hall, a longtime Food Network contributor who has also logged stints on ABC’s “The Chew” and Bravo’s “Top Chef,” has struck a new talent pact with the Discovery-owned media property.

Hall’s new deal means she will work exclusively with Food Network across its linear and digital outlets, and will take part in “Halloween Baking Championship,” “Holiday Baking Championship,” “Worst Cooks in America,” and Food Network’s Kitchen app. Food Network said Hall “will now be looking to develop and bring to fruition new passion projects for Food Network audiences.”

“Carla Hall’s charismatic personality along with her passion for food comes through in everything she does – as a host and judge she has captivated our audience with her engaging wit and culinary expertise,” said Courtney White, president of Food Network. “I am so excited that Carla has joined our Food Network family, and our team is looking forward to working with her to create content and shows that entertain fans across all of our platforms.”

Hall graduated from Howard University with a business degree, but soon found while traveling around Europe that her passion for food could offer a potential career path. She completed her culinary training at L’Academie de Cuisine in Maryland, and worked in several professional restaurant kitchens in and around the Washington D.C. area, learning to blend her classic French training and Southern upbringing.

She has prepared cookbooks such as “Carla Hall’s Soul Food: Everyday and Celebration,” “Carla’s Comfort Food: Favorite Dishes from Around the World” and “Cooking with Love: Comfort Food That Hugs You.”

“The shows that I’ve been a part of over the years have been near and dear to my heart, and I’m looking forward to being on both the creative and talent side,” said Hall, in a statement. “Officially becoming part of the Food Network family will be a complete joy.”

I watched The Great Gatsby (1974 version) on Sunday night and watching it I felt like I what we're seeing today.

Jay following Daisy's every move in the media, big parties, wealthy people stringing poor people along, using people and discarding them, poor people getting screwed--literally and figuratively--by the rich.

It feels like we've been reliving history and I wonder where it will end.

The last thread is fast approaching 600 posts and is taking forever to open on phones.

Keep on posting about our favorite and not-so-favorite personalities, our erotic fantasies (fiddlin' David Gura is my favorite), technical mishaps, etc.

He was rather bland and unformed-looking when he first appeared on my radar with "Shazam" (and didn't have the charisma of Jack Dylan Grazer), but lately he's become really hot. He also appears to be quite the little exhibitionist.

I'm the disclaimer that I am just here for friends and fun as I'm already engaged to my best friend and the love of my life. I can't host.

I think her work for the past twenty years has been a tad overrated. Her most undeserved nomination was Music of the Heart.

There are rumors that the GOP convention will be closed to press so that the party leadership can replace Trump with another candidate.

Russian Bots and Right Wing trolls will rip Biden's VP pick to shreds and question Biden's judgment and being fit to be POTUS. It doesn't matter who he picks. For them it will never be the right one.

What do you think, DL?

Bonnie Franklin doesn't mean as much to kids today as she did to those even a generation ago I'm an Xer. As a teen in the late 1970s, I loved Bonnie Franklin. Practically all my peers did as well. I suppose I grew up with her because as a child in the 1980s television would play sitcoms from I Love Lucy onward. But even among all the other sitcoms we were exposed to from the 50s on, One Day at a Time stood out - not necessarily the best, but certainly interesting and special.

With Netflix and Hulu streaming emerging in the teens, she dropped off almost immediately from those lofty heights. Of her contemporaries, the jazzy scatting improvisations and brand of kitsch provided by Linda Lavin are more popular. Certainly Mary Tyler Moore is much cooler. Cloris Leachman more experimental. Sandy Duncan and Charlotte Rae joked more hilariously.

Then we move on to the sitcom stars who came of age in the 80s and they are less twee, more weary, more glam. Less of Bonnie's Broadway influence, that's for sure.

I think the reason Bonnie Franklin meant a lot to me in the 70s is that she was available. And still marketable. So cute and witty. Wild in a controlled way. Rebellious in an acceptable way.

The performances stand up. The wisecracks are beautiful, shrillness peerless, slapping startling. She is still hugely influential. But I would say Lucille Ball means more to people younger than me than Bonnie Franklin does. I think Lucy's sexual heat, and Bonnie's relative lackthereof, may be a reason.

I'm just spitballing here. But I am surprised her popularity waned to this extent.

Anyone ever see them around NYC? I remember them in the late 80s on the subways at night and they were a deterrent to the many wannabe thugs. I liked seeing them around. Apparently they are back and growing in numbers to help stem the lawlessness of NYC these days. I hope they can make an impact.

"Wait a minute, baby," she said. "Stay with me a while."

He then suggested everyone overthrow the government instead. Of course he hasn't made his way to participating in any protests, choosing instead to tweet his rebellion from such cushy locations as the Cayman Islands or his Beverly Hills mansion.

Was it because Bette Midler hated him so much and had him black listed?

He was at one point one of the hottest actors in Hollywood

So dust off your bikini, make some artichoke dip, and come join the fun!

It's another episode of The Young & the Restless, and social distancing is not practiced here.

I want to vomit any time I see someone put the refrigerator next to the wall oven(s). BAD BAD BAD!

What else drives you crazy?

The recent talk about the new Kygo/Tina Turner remix of "What's Love Got To Do With It." Got me thinking what are your favorite remixes? Feel free to post them below.

Personally, I love Tina Turner, but I found the recent remix just so-so. A much better new remix is the Dave Aude remix of Barbra Mandrell's "Sleeping Single In A Double Bed." It is now my summer jam!.

I can't wait till they cancel all rent too.

Last year, rumours sparked that Tom Hiddleston was dating Zawe Ashton. However, the actor's friends denied the rumours. Now, it seems like not only are the rumoured couple dating but they have also moved in together. While the two actors have been tight-lipped about their romantic relationship, a new report claims that the Loki star has moved in with the gorgeous actress in Atlanta. The two sparked dating rumours almost a year ago after they grew closer when they starred in the West End play Betrayal.

Sources have told The Sun that the Marvel Cinematic Universe actor and the Fresh Meat star have spent the last few weeks in the US. There could be a possibility that the two could spend the remaining year together in the country. Apparently, they have flown down to Atlanta, where Hiddleston has set up a home with his dog Bobby. The actor set up base in Atlanta earlier this year for he was expected to film for his Disney Plus show Loki.

An insider informed the UK publication, "Tom and Zawe have stayed quiet about their relationship but she has spent the last few weeks with him in the US. They are very well suited and enjoy the quieter side of life away from the glitz and glamour of the showbiz world."

The grapevine added, "Their lives are typically very busy, so spending time together while not working has been ­something they have both embraced. Tom has made a home in Atlanta during lockdown and he is ­expecting to spend the rest of the year there." Last year, an intel told the international outlet that Hiddleston has fallen head over heels for the beautiful actress. "Tom really has fallen for Zawe in a big way. They've actually been together for more than six months. But he is so paranoid about his private life since his relationship with Taylor that he has gone to great lengths to keep this under wraps," the source previously claimed.

"And sent to me a stroke of love called you..."

She's fucking 80 years old FFS!!!!!!!!!

He's 60 years old FFS!!!!!!

It looks ghastly.

We have to get a hard stance on dealing with the homeless issue in this country. It’s a main issue that Republicans point to and say see the Democrats can’t run a city, much less a nation. Here is the latest NYP headline: NYC ‘illegally’ housing pedophiles near Upper West Side playground

Why are we so soft on this issue?

Hi, I am really curious what Americans think about German/Bavarian food, culture, men and the language! What have been your experiences in Germany or with German food and language? I am dying to know!

Also, what do you think are misconceptions (some) Americans have about Germany or Bavaria? Maybe some you kow from personal experience from friends, relatives, etc.

I am excited for answers.

Anyone know? Hard to tell from his social media, but all he does is hang out with known gay guys. He's cute as hell, and his body is amazing. Fingers crossed.

Continue the discussion here.

I remember watching him on TJ Hooker and not thinking he was remotely sexy. Seemed to be one of those Hollywood sex symbols that was a TV executive's version of "hot." David Hasselhoff was another one.

A gay Russian influencer was found dead in St. Peterburg Sunday. According to The Daily Star, Ali Zabinov, better known as Ego Gromov on TikTok and Instagram, was found beaten and strangled to death in the home of a friend. Police have arrested the unnamed friend on suspicion of murder.

Local media cited by IB Times reported that Zabinov had visited the apartment of the 46-year-old friend looking to borrow some money last Saturday. The pair began to drink heavily, and Zabinov decided to spend the night. The man discovered the influencer’s unresponsive body in the morning, and alerted the police.

"I tried to wake him up. I called the police myself. What could I do?! If I knew that he was going to die here, would I let him in or what?!" the man allegedly told the police, according to local reports shared with the IB Times.

Police found the body lying face down with bruising on the neck consistent with strangulation, as well as signs of beating on the body according to DeadDeath. Policed speculated the unnamed friend killed Zabinov in a rage after the young gay influencer flirted with him, but provided no evidence to support this theory.

The young influencer had reportedly been subjected to homophobic abuse and threats online for years due to his open sexuality. His TikTok channel (@gromov20) has over 5 thousand followers and 26 thousand likes.

Russia has been a rising hotbed of hatred against the LGBTQ+ community recently. President Vladimir Putin was reelected to a third term in office in July, running on a conservative platform that promised a crackdown on LGBTQ+ rights and recognition. The race featured a ghastly homophobic television commercial that used hateful and outrageous stereotypes to denigrate LGBTQ+ families and marriage equality. The original commercial can be viewed here. Viewer discretion is advised due to hateful imagery and stereotypes. Even rainbow ice cream was accused as being gay propaganda in the months leading up to the election.

Here is mine.

Is Kate Spade a good brand? Just curious what DL thinks of it.

Who are some of the uncredited geniuses of books, movies, and theater? I know that Gore Vidal secretly wrote a lot of Ben-Hur, John Kennedy didn't actually write any of Profiles In Courage, and that Bob Merrill wrote some of the songs in Hello Dolly.

The conspiracy theorists accuse Democrats and even fellow Republicans of being beholden to a cabal of bureaucrats, pedophiles and Satanists. President Trump has cheered them on. Now they’re running for office. “Stop Child Abuse!” is their platform, which no normal person would argue against, but they believe it’s mainly Liberals who are Pedos and that the LGBT community is a gateway for Pedo acceptance. They’re insane and scary. The movement is sweeping across Republican Facebook and Twitter like wildfire.

"Can't Buy Me Love" was released thirty-one years ago, and was originally titled "Boy Rents Girl."

Amanda Peterson's family claims that a traumatizing experience on the set led to her problems before her death. They said in a later interview that she had been sexually assaulted.

The film was done non-union. The Screen Actors Guild sent representatives to the set to dissuade the students at the high school from being extras. While their plan ultimately failed, the school's Drama Club decided not to participate.

Paula Abdul was the set choreographer, and Gerardo Mejia would have a hit single a couple years later with "Rico Suave."

What do you think of this movie?

Never enough...

Suicide hotline volunteer Eisel Mazard was on duty the day Anthony Bourdain called in, and apparently told Bourdain what he thought of his first world problems.

I can't get enough of them.

Tonight on "The News Hour" with Judy Woodruff there was so much talk about how disappointed black people are going to be if Biden doesn't pick a black woman that I wondered if they all had already heard who it was going to be(and it was going to be a white woman), but couldn't announce it yet.

I can never tell whether it's widely known ahead of time or whether things like this are big surprises to them as well as to us. I remember it being known ahead of time Mondale would likely pick Ferraro, but most other Dem VP picks surprised me--especially Gore for Clinton in 1992 and Biden for Obama in 2008.

My friend asked her 12 yr old daughter if she wanted to go back into the classroom or do virtual learning when school is back in session on September 1st. She refuses to answer the question and instead responds with "They're a bunch of liars!" What to do?

The guests have arrived and are fueling up for Saturday's maskless festivities.

250,000 expected to this 10 day event. Reminds me of when they went ahead with the big parade during the pandemic of 1918.

Does this mean he has a hairy asshole now?

Do you approve?

last thread got payrolled

here we go again

I love this guy.

I think when this is over, I'll want to continue to hibernate.

People suck. They stab you in the back. TV and films give us an inaccurate and unrealistic idea of what relationships should be like.

I love books, watching TV, masturbating....I don't ever have to be around anyone again; it might be nice if I could find decent people, though.

Admittedly, I live in LA.

Will we see an uptick in deplorable deaths? Deals on motorcycles from bereft family member of lost bikers? Why are there so many people there with pronounced limps?

He makes my mussy twitch.

I want him inside me, quite deeply.

If it wasn't for nepotism, Ivanka would be reporting to her shift at McDonald's.

The gorgeous Paul did not pass on his staggering beauty unless it was to the son who died.

Joanne has Alzheimer's and the kids are fighting over the estate. Typical.

With MJ [Michael Jackson], unfortunately, too much happened, too much got between us. There was a very deep strong love there; intense. But people got in the way, on my end and his end. We had so many people telling us what to do and intercepting and speaking on behalf of the other. Had it been just he and I, towards the end, I don't think we would have divorced.

We need to replace our front door. What do you think of this? The company suggests we go with fir, we are in the Pacific Northwest.

Thanks, I value your opinions.

Moving forward

Let's circle back!

Moving the needle!

So Olivia Munn was a on Whitney Cummins podcast which by the way, how fucking awesome is this podcast...! Anyway, they’re discussing vaginas at some point and Olivia goes into how she regrets fake moaning during past sexual experiences and especially goes into her experiences with a guy she dated for years who she’s pretty sure was gay...lol. Starts at the 1:25:00 mark. Let’s just say, I’m starting to believe what DL has said about Aaron Rodgers all these years.

Why do old gays pretend they are still young and sexy? I cringed violently watching them dancing to Lady Gaga

It’s annoying. They’re turning this site into an ad space every time they logon. If we can ban CNN links we can ban them.

Buckle-up, bitches! The first thoroughly developed documentary about the Golden State Killer after his arrest and positive I.D. debuts tonight on H.B.O.

Comedian Patton Oswalt's late wife Michelle McNamara spent years investigating the decades-long unsolved murders of this serial killer from California. McNamara never lived to see her book published or the killer I.D.'d and apprehended on the eve of his sentencing ‚— Joseph D'Angelo is expected to plead "guilty" to 13 murders tomorrow.

H.B.O.'s documentary series looks to be as much about McNamara as D'Angelo, for better or for worse. But it's getting good reviews and it's just one of the MANY movies and docs you will see in the future about this absolutely frightening, cunning and gruesome serial killer.

Starts at 10 p.m. E.T.

IM SO EXCITED!

I’ve been trying for years and at 40, I still haven’t found love or a stable relationship so I think I give up. I can’t keep putting energy into something that hasn’t come to fruition after two decades of trying.

Please stay up to take pix and then post them.

I'm too sleepy to stay up and where I am there's clouds blockage.

And don't give me any guff about it.

The fags ain’t gonna stop faggin’! We gots to wear our speedos!

In my prior life as an insurance executive, it was my job to deceive Americans about their health care. I misled people to protect profits. In fact, one of my major objectives, as a corporate propagandist, was to do my part to “enhance shareholder value.” That work contributed directly to a climate in which fewer people are insured, which has shaped our nation’s struggle against the coronavirus, a condition that we can fight only if everyone is willing and able to get medical treatment. Had spokesmen like me not been paid to obscure important truths about the differences between the U.S. and Canadian health-care systems, tens of thousands of Americans who have died during the pandemic might still be alive.

Wendell Potter @wendellpotter is a former vice president of Cigna who became a whistleblower against the health insurance industry. He serves as president of the Center for Health and Democracy. In 2007, I was working as vice president of corporate communications for Cigna. That summer, Michael Moore was preparing to release his latest documentary, “Sicko,” contrasting American health care with that in other rich countries. (Naturally, we looked terrible.) I spent months meeting secretly with my counterparts at other big insurers to plot our assault on the film, which contained many anecdotes about patients who had been denied coverage for important treatments. One example was 3-year-old Annette Noe. When her parents asked Cigna to pay for two cochlear implants that would allow her to hear, we agreed to cover only one.

Clearly my colleagues and I would need a robust defense. On a task force for the industry’s biggest trade association, America’s Health Insurance Plans (AHIP), we talked about how we might make health-care systems in Canada, France, Britain and even Cuba look just as bad as ours. We enlisted APCO Worldwide, a giant PR firm. Agents there worked with AHIP to put together a binder of laminated talking points for company flacks like me to use in news releases and statements to reporters.

I'll start. Back in the 80's a rent boy friend told me he saw Frank Langella on a regular basis.

Still hairy.

I'd study harder, get help with the subjects I had trouble with and do my best to actually graduate rather than drop out.

Any gossip? He gives me Andrew Gillum teas, hunty....

How did you do it?

Michael Learned — or "Miss Michael Learned," as she was credited on The Waltons, lest anyone confuse her for a man — holds the record for most Emmy wins for outstanding lead actress in a drama series.

The Trump-drops-out scenario hinges on the assumption that Trump is less concerned with wielding the levers of government than he is preserving his role as disrupter at large in American politics over the next decade. The latter might be much easier to maintain if he avoids being tattooed as loser in November—especially if the margin is larger than could be attributed, even by his most conspiracy-minded supporters, to media bias or vote-counting manipulation by Democrats.

The scenario hinges also on an assumption that Trump’s political project is more weakened internally—in the psychological sense—than it is even in the external sense, as measured by polls and campaign coverage.

Trump in recent days has scotched a planned rally and canceled plans for a massive partisan extravaganza at the Republican National Convention. He has gone from saying the coronavirus pandemic would be quickly routed in the spring to acknowledging, five months into the crisis, that the situation will probably “get worse before it gets better.” After saying masks weren’t for him, and implying that they are for weak spirits, he finally began wearing one and urging others to do so.

I want him in me, deeply.

Then people will start wearing masks. Until then, no one will wear them because we are such a celebrity based culture.

So celebrities need to make it cool, and NOT the President

Wow, what a piece of shit. Does anyone genuinely like this movie?

"In addition to more Dolly Parton’s Heartstrings, Netflix has been exploring other potential projects with Parton, including a sitcom headlined by the country icon."

This would be AWESOME!

Jealous, bitches?

Pete Davidson is going to be a STAR!

And SNL will hate him for it.

If only he had done a theatrical release. It would have been "Oscar nominated 'King of Staten Island.'"

Then you all would really be sorry.

I don't get this. I understand when comedians do this, because they get to practice comedy still; but an actor like Mario Lopez or Drew Barrymore or a singer like Kelly Clarkson or Mark McGrath is not only doing something completely different, but they're turning their back on their craft. It's as if all that they really care about in the end is just being famous. I'm not surprised at Lopez or McGrath, since they were never that talented to begin with (just handsome); but Barrymore has worked hard as an actress (particularly in "Grey Gardens"), and Clarkson is a genuinely talented singer.

I went looking for astrological discussions about the dumpster fire and came across these from February 18, 2017. It's about his possible resignation. It begins with a bunch of stuff about later on in November, 2017, a precarious time for the dumpster fire. Also the astrologer's name is Stefan Stenudd and that gets him points.

Eventually Stefan got to 2020 and this interests me. I'll post it in pieces, it's long.

*******************

By the way, on February 13th 2020, transit Pluto will form an exact opposition with Saturn in Trump's birth chart. That is also severe, indeed. It happens soon after transit Saturn forms the same aspect, which is discussed below.

What the Pluto transit signals, is a dramatic clash between Donald Trump's official duties and personal ambitions. What he must do and what he wants to do are incompatible. He tends to shake such stuff off and pretend it doesn't matter. But this time he cannot.

Like so often, it is his private sphere colliding with his social role and responsibilities. This time more than ever. Ever!

The crisis is not unlike the one in November [2107], when transit Pluto has a square aspect with Trump's natal Jupiter. It's about his personal interests versus his obligations. This time, though, he doesn't risk his fortune. But his reputation. People who trusted him almost blindly lose faith in him. It is evident that he can't have both his elevated status and his own way on the side.

Pluto shows that he has already made the blunder, irreparably. So, the question is if he can repair the damage it does to his reputation. Probably not. Pluto doesn't compromise.

This crisis is enhanced by transit Saturn already in January 2020 having the same opposition aspect with Trump's natal Saturn. Two sinister planets do the same thing, a mere month apart. That also means transit Saturn and Pluto are quite close to having a conjunction at the time.

It couldn't get worse.

Trump's new favorite network, OANooooooo, used a photo of Keir Dullea from 2001: A Space Odessey and identified him as a citizen source in a story linking Covid to a NC Lab. Video can be found in the comments.

Yup, and they have a press pass.

This will not end well.

I don't think young males got on his show without dropping trou.

He made a ZOOM appearance on LIFE Today TV program hosted by American televangelist James Robison

I guess not only has he embraced Trump, he found religion as well

Is anyone watching it? It was a wonderful book and I am enjoying the series as well.

you can watch the first episode for free on their site. I saw it the other day on tv. They have interviews with some of the other members about everything going on at the time. I still find these people weird yet fascinating.

The first episode was about Manson starting his cult, his attempts to become a famous recording act, association with Dennis Wilson, the murder of Gary Hinman etc

The last thread got paywalled. Any new gossip, or blind items which might be about cast members? I haven't come across much recently, other than the things about the Richard Madden/Froy Gutierrez relationship which other members have documented in their threads, and the news about Sophie Turner having a baby with Joe Jonas. Alfie Allen seems to have broken up with another girlfriend (the artist he was dating most of last year) but haven't heard any details on what happened. Any signs of cast members quarantining with each other, or meeting up despite lockdown?

To whom do I complain about the lack of one thereof?

Her badly burned body was found in the parking lot of a state recreation area

What happened to her?

I'm looking at the numbers worldwide per Hopkins, and the number of Chinese confirmed cases (under 90,000) just seems very improbable to me, given 1) general public hygiene in China (I lived there for awhile and saw it firsthand), 2) their population, and 3) the numbers from other countries around the world.

I'm no conspiracy theorist, but something feels off.

Give me your snarkiest sarcastic responses to the dopes who say that all of the shutdowns, school closings, and quarantining will all go away the day after the election.

WASHINGTON — Since the first days after she was elected governor of South Dakota in 2018, Kristi Noem had been working to ensure that President Trump would come to Mount Rushmore for a fireworks-filled July 4 extravaganza.

After all, the president had told her in the Oval Office that he aspired to have his image etched on the monument. And last year, a White House aide reached out to the governor’s office with a question, according to a Republican official familiar with the conversation: What’s the process to add additional presidents to Mount Rushmore?

Recently, I realized that I’ve been drinking every day. It all started when my husbear had COVID (completely recovered, thank you!) and I would read and drink wine while he was having an afternoon nap. Well, this didn’t stop, and I’m disturbed by it, and haven’t been feeling great. I stopped a couple of days ago and already feel better. Anyone else stopping their pandemic alcohol consumption?

I didn't know Jane and Gina dated in the early days of the band.

I'm not friends with him, but I actually went to high school with him! He was several grades ahead of me, skinny, and nerdy, so it's jarring seeing him clearly very grown up, and yes gay.

Anyway, what do you all think?

Jim Acosta is sitting in for Wolf this afternoon so Kaitlin Collins is the CNN reporter at the briefing. I'm watching CSPAN and it looks like less than a dozen reporters are waiting for Trump. Their numbers keep shrinking. Being a part of the presidential press conferences must no longer be a prestigious gig.

Stephanie Davis has split up with her boyfriend Owen Warner after nine months of dating.

The Hollyoaks co-stars have called an end to their relationship as 20-year-old Owen felt their romance was going "100 miles an hour".

Steph, 26, has been blocked from following him on Instagram and she's now taking a short break from Hollyoaks filming - reports Mirror Online.

A source close to the couple said: "Owen is definitely not getting back with her.

"She's been hounding him since he broke things off. It's all very stressful for him at the moment.

"Stephanie absolutely lost it when she found out he'd changed the photo of them on his social accounts. It felt like a final blow as it was so public and she feels he doesn't understand how the game game works.

"Hollyoaks is his first job and people will obviously be making assumptions from the things he says or does."

Owen had moved into Stephanie's house just months after they struck up their off-screen romance and was quickly becoming a large part of her young son Caben-Albi's life.

But pals told how he was finding the relationship "suffocating" and wanted to get out - even though they will continue to cross paths on set.

And now Steph has deleted all but one photo of Owen from her Instagram page.

The insider told The Mirror said: "It was all a bit too much for him. Stephanie has been very full on the last few months.

"It was blatantly obvious she was moving the relationship forward at a rate of 100 miles an hour and him being the age he is found it very difficult to breathe. It was all very suffocating.

The last one was paywalled.

It has been 51 years since the Tate-LaBianca murders, which occurred on August 8th and 9th, 1969. Thought I would start a thread and reminisce a bit about how wild this actually was and the million conspiracy theories. Was Helter Skelter even real, or did Vincent Bugliosi just fabricate the story (or maybe there's bits and pieces that are true but not the entire thing) to have a case? Was Charles Manson an MK Ultra experiment?

Shia LaBeouf is reportedly the front runner to play Iceman in a reboot of X-Men.

According to We Got This Covered, sources are saying that Marvel is eyeing the 34-year-old star for the superhero role.

Shia was first considered for the role of Moon Knight in the MCU, which he is still being considered for, but is no longer one of the top choices.

PHOTOS: Check out the latest pics of Shia LaBeouf

"Marvel are keen to work with him and they now see a role as one of the X-Men as another possible way of bringing him into the fold while still easing him back into the big budget environment that he’d previously sworn off," the site says.

Just recently, Shia was spotted out showing his support for this Presidential candidate.

If you missed it, Marvel also just hired a director for the upcoming Captain Marvel 2

I knew nothing about him aside from that I like his song "Taxi." I had no idea he was dead, how tragically he died and what an acitivist he was during his life.

Do any of you NYC eldergays remember his death?

So sad. R.I.P.

He was popular in the late 80s and early 90s before falling back into obscurity. He had 2 top 10 singles and then 2 top 30 singles.

Have any of you had to have your house cleaned by extreme cleaners? After two years of intense depression, house is deplorable and I can't seem to clean it up myself. Made an appointment to have someone come and give me an estimate because I can't live this way anymore. But it's so humiliating and feel sick to my stomach thinking about letting them in to see the mess. I know it's my own fault, but any encouraging words would be appreciated. Never thought this would happen to me and I'm so embarrassed. Will it be worth it...that's what I keep telling myself.

So you want to get out of the city, out of your apartment, out of your life, but where do you go in the middle of a pandemic? How about renting an old house on Virginia's Northern Neck. The rent is (relatively) cheap and this old house looks like just the place to commune with the dead, drink yourself to death or just go completely mad like some old horror movie. If there was any way I could get internet service out there, I'd totally rent it.

The very good woman who cut my hair didn't come back after the barber re-opened.

So now I'm back to having to explain how to cut my hair. I think I'm going with a 5 on top, 2 on sides and back, and blended in between. And I need a straight line to block off the hair in the back. And I need really clear trimming around the ears.

Also, watch the cowlicks! I have about 4 of them. And they have a mind of their own.

[italic]Could the world have seen this pandemic coming sooner? And how, in a high-tech world, should we keep watch for the next dangerous outbreak of disease?

Last week Andrew Natsios, director of Texas A&M’s Scowcroft Institute of International Affairs, called to create a new global early-warning system. Natsios has deep expertise in addressing global disasters, including pandemics. Under President George W. Bush, he ran the U.S. Agency for International Development; and before that, during the presidency of George H.W. Bush, he led USAID’s emergency disaster management. Were he in that job now, he’d be in charge of American pandemic response throughout the world.

I'm starting this thread with this Yashar tweet because he's absolutely right. Not a single politician in this country is more reviled on all sides of the spectrum and so unanimously as Bill de Blasio. He has failed time and time again and people in New York City are absolutely fed up with him. This past week alone, his staff walked off the job to protest him, his police commissioner and chief of department nearly quit, a senior advisor resigned, thousands have gathered outside in front of Gracie Mansion calling for him to resign for days on end and his administration is crumbling before our very eyes. It's only a matter of time before he's shown the door. The question is when? Thoughts?

But if eating dogs are wrong, by Western standards, than so too should cows and pigs. There is no moral argument that consuming dog meat is any less cruel or “wrong”.

Video of a gigantic black snake slithering across a New York City subway platform was posted on Twitter, leaving residents and social media viewers scratching their heads and wondering how the reptile made its way onto the station platform in the first place.

Transit worker Canella Gomez shared the video in a Twitter post on Sunday, writing, "Being a #TrainOperator for @NYCTSubway I thought I have seen it all but this can’t be real."

In the video, the reptile, which looks to be several feet long, slowly slides along an unidentified Brooklyn transit platform, glancing around the station as the feet of one individual are seen standing closely near the snake in the background. Gomez told the New York Post that he did not take the video but that it was sent to him instead.

Step aside, pizza rat! There's a new animal going viral for their subway antics now.

Video of a gigantic black snake slithering across a New York City subway platform was posted on Twitter, leaving residents and social media viewers scratching their heads and wondering how the reptile made its way onto the station platform in the first place.

It remains unclear how the snake ended up on the platform but the animal sighting even left the MTA confused, who said they are investigating the situation.

"If you sssee sssomething, sssay sssomething," they joked in a tweet. "But seriously, this is a new one for us and we are investigating. If you see a snake or any other suspicious reptiles, please immediately contact an MTA employee."

Per social media commentators, the snake in the video appears to potentially be a non-venomous black eastern rat snake, which can grow up to 7 feet in length, according to the National Wildlife Federation. Their natural habitat typically extends from Connecticut to South Carolina and as far west as Kansas and Oklahoma.

Thankfully the eastern rat snake is largely harmless to humans as it prefers to eat frogs, eggs, and more common subway dwellers — rodents.

New Yorkers were quick to make light of the situation, however, as one user wrote, "I'm sick of these m F ing snakes on this mfing train ( in my Samuel Jackson voice)," as New York City Councilman Justin Brannan replied, "Snake moves faster than the R train."

It has been confirmed that a new Dirty Dancing movie is in the works with Jennifer Grey returning to reprise her role as Frances “Baby” Houseman.

Lionsgate CEO Jon Feltheimer confirmed the news during an earnings call and he joked that the movie was “one of the worst kept secrets in Hollywood.”

The news about the movie was leaked to the press a couple weeks ago.

“It will be exactly the kind of romantic, nostalgic movie that the franchise’s fans have been waiting for and that have made it the biggest-selling library title in the Company’s history,” Feltheimer added (via Deadline).

The first Dirty Dancing movie, which starred Grey and Patrick Swayze, hit theaters back in 1987 and grossed $218 million worldwide on a budget of just $5 million. A sequel, Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights, was released in 2004, but it wasn’t a hit.

Which is your favourite Alien movie? I find the whole series flawless, with the last one ranging on camp. Am now seeing Aliens and had eye candy galore. If you had to choose one guy to fuck in the 4 movies, who would you choose?

OK the first threat was almost maxed out at 595 responses. I just finished watching it. Again. And apparently it's very popular and the reviews aren't bad.

But it ended with a cliffhanger and I thought we needed one last thread to deal with the cliffhanger and perhaps speculate ans possibly craft our own version of season 2. I think Victor is going to get some shit. And be dealing with a lot of hostility and rejection. Because he really made a mess, didn't he. Desperate to be accepted at his new school he tried to force himself to get with a Girl. Force himself to be straight. If he had no been busted, if it hadn't been for Benji Victor might not have confessed and he would have been another tormented closeted kid trying to make it as a straight guy.

What in the fangurl hell is this?

Record numbers of Americans are renouncing their citizenship according to numbers reported by a New York accountancy firm.

Bambridge Accountants reports that 5,816 people gave up US citizenship in the first half of 2020 — a 1,210 per cent increase on the previous six months in which only 444 cases were recorded.

The first two quarters of 2020 also rank as having the first and second highest numbers on record at 2,909 and 2,907 respectively.

In the whole of 2019, a total of only 2,072 Americans gave up their citizenship.

Bambridge specialises in preparing and filing taxes for US and UK expats, particularly those in creative fields such as acting.

The firm cites the pandemic as a motivating factor for US expats to cut ties and avoid the current political climate and onerous tax reporting.

Alistair Bambridge, a partner at the firm, told CNN: “These are mainly people who already left the US and just decided they’ve had enough of everything.”

He adds: “What we’ve seen is people are over everything happening with President Donald Trump, how the coronavirus pandemic is being handled, and the political policies in the US at the moment.”

There are approximately 9 million Americans living outside of the US.

Each year they are required to file tax returns, and report all of their foreign bank accounts, investments and pensions.

Mr Bambridge explains: “The current pandemic has allowed individuals the time to review their ties to the US and decide that the current political climate and annual US tax reporting is just too much to bear.”

On a positive note, those who have retained their citizenship remain eligible for any stimulus payments authorised by the US government in response to the coronavirus pandemic.

Asked about the impact of the November election on the number of people giving up their citizenship, Mr Bambridge said: “If President Trump is re-elected, we believe there will be another wave of people who will decide to renounce their citizenship.”

In order to renounce their citizenship, Americans must pay a $2,350 government fee, and those based overseas must do so in person at a US Embassy.

Every three months the US government publishes the names of those who have given up their citizenship.

Department of Homeland Security records show that in 2018, the year with the most recent data available, 761,901 people were naturalised as US citizens.

Last year, Centineo opened up about being cast as the iconic 1980's superhero in the Sony film, which was set to hit theaters on March 5, 2021 but has been delayed due to the coronavirus pandemic.

“It’s a really big responsibility,” he told MTV News in June 2019. “It’s a new universe and it’s a new studio and their take on a universe. The Nee brothers, Adam and Aaron Nee, they’re directing it, and they’re the filmmakers in charge of the story, and they are doing one hell of a job developing the world and all these things, so. I can’t tell you what tone they’re going for, but they’re genius, so.”

While the Netflix hearthrob remained tight-lipped on the film's details, Centineo did reveal he has been busy practicing the character’s ‘I have the power!’ battle cry.

“I’ve been screaming it until my voice is vocally fried, man," he said.

The franchise began in earnest back in 1982, when Mattel first introduced the Masters of the Universe action figures. A cartoon series, He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, propelled the franchise into a pop culture phenomenon, and the first film debuted in 1987, with Dolph Lundgren playing the titular character.

The cartoon series was rebooted back in 2002 on Cartoon Network, however the franchise has remained inactive since then, despite Sony’s efforts to get a new film into production over the past several years.

In January 2019, Iron Man screenwriters Art Marcum and Matt Holloway were brought in and announced that they would rewrite a new draft for the Sony's remake. Production began last July in Prague.

Bloomberg Politics National Poll - [Clinton +12]

CLINTON - 49t

TRUMP - 37t

JOHNSON - 9t

(June 10 - 13, 2016)

(750 Likely Voters)

I'm late to the party. But, I just found this YouTube channel and it features videos from people who voted from Trump in 2016 and are now against him. It's good to see that some people did wise up.

So this was a fraud?

“The federal government is halting a $765 million loan to Eastman Kodak Company (NYSE: KODK) for its generic drug-making foray until the company is cleared of insider trading allegations.“

More proof that Glenn Greenwald is a piece of shit. Here he is trying to argue Chasten is a "survivor". Typical Glenn--one of those "both sides do it!" libertarian types. Any gay person who continues to support this guy needs to think clearly.

I recently discovered this channel, and it's quickly become one of my favorites. It takes me back to my childhood, when I would come home from school and watch shows like Password and Tattletales with mom.

I love seeing all the old B-list celebrities on these shows (sadly, most are gone now), the bad hair, the bad fashion, and the overall ridiculousness of it all.

Which shows are your favorites on this channel?

I didn't know this story about when she did "Wildcat" after "I Love Lucy." I always assumed "Wildcat" was a hit since it produced at least one standard, "Hey Look Me Over."

This is material from a new book about Lucille Ball that comes out next week, "The Queen of Tuesday." Its author Darin Strauss is a serious novelist, and it's in part a memoir of his grandfather's entanglement with Ball.

Liberty University President Jerry Falwell Jr. said on Wednesday that he had apologized for posting a photo of him in unzipped pants and arm around a woman — but also defended the incident as a vacation “costume party” that was “just in good fun.”

The now-deleted photo showed Falwell, a leading evangelical supporter of President Donald Trump, with his pants unzipped and his underwear showing beneath, while he had one arm around a woman whose shorts also appeared to be unbuttoned and his other holding a glass with a dark-colored liquid. The photo appeared to be on board a yacht.

The posting — which was quickly withdrawn — drew a sharp backlash and charges of hypocrisy because the evangelical university that he leads prohibits students from having sexual relations outside of a “biblically-ordained” marriage and consuming media with lewd lyrics, sexual content and nudity. The university’s policy also counsels “appropriateness” and “modesty” in how students must dress.

“I’ve apologized to everybody,” Falwell said in an interview on the Morningline show on WLNI 105.9FM, a local radio station in Lynchburg, Va., Falwell’s home town and that of the Liberty campus. “And I’ve promised my kids I’m going to try to be — I’m gonna try to be a good boy from here on out.”

Falwell described the woman in the photo as his “wife’s assistant.” On his Instagram account, Falwell tagged a picture of the woman as Kathleen Stone, who lists on her Facebook account that she works for Liberty University. A university spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

“She’s a sweetheart and I should never have put it up and embarrassed her,” Falwell said.

Falwell described the scene leading up to the photo. “She’s pregnant so she couldn’t get her — she couldn’t get her pants up,” he said. “And I was like, trying to like — my — I had on pair of jeans that I hadn’t worn in a long time so I couldn’t get mine zipped either. And so — and so — I just put my belly — I just put my belly out like hers.”

The photo of Falwell appeared to be a parody of the comedy TV show “Trailer Park Boys.” The website Pulpit & Pen also published a video, set to the theme music of the show, that shows Falwell and other yacht guests in costume. The video appears to have been taken by someone on the yacht.

Asked about the reference to the TV show during the interview on Wednesday, Falwell demurred. “Whatever,” he said. “It was a costume party on a — we were on vacation. And, anyway, long story short it was just in good fun. That’s it.”

Falwell’s response comes after the photo drew widespread criticism earlier this week, much of it from liberals but also from some conservatives, including Meghan McCain, the ABC talk show host and daughter of former Sen. John McCain, and S.E. Cupp, the CNN commentator.

Philadelphia is projected to have just $51 million in cash left by next July, as the city expects to have spent $387 million of its long-term reserves to weather the economic impact of the coronavirus.

The $51 million fund balance projected for the end of the fiscal year that begins Wednesday leaves very little wiggle room to handle additional expenses or lost revenue. City officials also expect to have a $50 million fund balance by July 2022, the end of the following fiscal year.

BEIJING (AP) — China on Monday announced unspecified sanctions against 11 U.S. politicians and heads of organizations promoting democratic causes, including Senators Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz, who have already been singled out by Beijing.

Foreign ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian on Monday said the 11 had “performed badly” on issues concerning Hong Kong, where China has cracked down on opposition voices following its imposition of a national security law in the semi-autonomous southern Chinese city last month.

The number of Americans named by the ministry exactly equals the number of Hong Kong and Chinese officials placed on a sanctions list by the U.S. last week over the crackdown.

China showed its determination to defy such pressure on Monday by arresting leading independent media tycoon Jimmy Lai and raiding the publisher’s headquarters.

“The relevant actions of the U.S. blatantly intervened in Hong Kong affairs, grossly interfered in China’s internal affairs, and seriously violated international law and the basic norms of international relations," foreign ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian said at a daily briefing on Monday.

“China urges the U.S. to have a clear understanding of the situation, correct mistakes, and immediately stop interfering in Hong Kong affairs and interfering in China’s internal affairs."

Four other lawmakers were named by the foreign ministry: Senators Josh Hawley, Tom Cotton and Pat Toomey and Representative Chris Smith.

Cotton, an Arkansas Republican, said he was sanctioned for defending the victims of Communist Party rule, including Hong Kong students fighting for democracy.

“Chinese Communism is the most dangerous threat to freedom in the world, and I will never back down from fighting it," he said in a statement.

The others sanctioned were National Endowment for Democracy President Carl Gershman, National Democratic Institute President Derek Mitchell, International Republican Institute President Daniel Twining, Human Rights Watch Executive Director Kenneth Roth, and Michael Abramowitz, President of Freedom House.

Beijing already placed a travel ban on Rubio, Cruz and Smith last month after Washington announced similar measures against Chinese officials linked to measures taken against Muslims in the northwestern Chinese region of Xinjiang.

The standing committee of China's national legislature passed the National Security Law last month, bypassing the city's Legislative Council and the public, where such legislation has faced stiff opposition for years.

The move came in response to months of sometimes violent anti-government protests last year that Beijing said were encouraged by foreign forces in a bid to overthrow Chinese rule over the former British colony that was handed over to Chinese rule in 1997 under a “one country, two systems" framework meant to last until 2047.

President Donald Trump’s executive order and memorandums ostensibly providing relief amid the intractable coronavirus pandemic don’t seem feasible or legal, experts said Saturday.

One Republican lawmaker, Sen. Ben Sasse of Nebraska, called Trump’s unilateral moves “unconstitutional slop.”

I have a second cousin who looked like a middle aged librarian when she was a kid. When she was 15 all the other other girls were wearing tight Jordache's and Farah hair, she had shapeless granny dresses and long straight parted flat hair. She still wears shapeless Granny dresses and her hair is pulled back. Never any make up. Even her baby pics had a very adult look.

But there’s a catch: It’s unclear whether Trump has the authority to extend enhanced unemployment benefits by executive action while side-stepping Congress. It lowers the weekly bonus to $400 from the extra $600 that expired in late July, with states being asked to cover 25% of the costs. That means the federal government will provide $300 a week. And it could take months for states to implement.

Americans face a drop in their unemployment benefits at a time when coronavirus cases are spiking again and more states are pausing their reopenings, trends that threaten to derail the nation's economic recovery when millions are already out of work.

It’s on Hulu.
