They certainly do seem to be enjoying the performance.

A woman was caught on camera being openly racist at a pro-Palestine demonstration in the UCLA encampment in Southern California on Saturday.

'You're just a white person. Get out. We don't like white people!' the woman said angrily to the camera while continuing to wave the Palestinian flag she was waving and chanting 'Free Palestine!'

The footage was captured by skeptical journalist Cam Higby who put it to the protestor that she was 'just being mad that Hamas is hiding behind civilians.'

In later tweets, Higby explained that the woman then tried to attack him after he filmed her and that she had been speaking Arabic and screaming about Jewish colonizers during her time in the protest.

This is an eating disorder.

Hassan Nasrallah, head of Hezbollah (whose flag you waved at Columbia this week) has a message for you.

Good news everyone! Remember how we were bemoaning that college age lesbians were all starting to declare themselves as nonbinary or even become men?

They’ve given that up now. They now merely want to join the Intifada.

The FDA has approved Eli Lily's tizerpatide for obesity treatment. It will be marketed as Zepbound for chronic weight management. The drug is already approved for type 2 diabetes, and marketed as Mounjaro. Mounjaro has gained massive popularity being prescribed off label for obesity, competing directly with Novo Nordisk's Wegovy (Ozempic).

Eli Lily's stock immediately jumped on the news of the approval.

Britney Spears is in "serious danger" on both the mental and financial front and is doing way worse than she was under the conservatorship ... sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ.

As for her mental health, our sources say Britney is "completely dysfunctional." Since the conservatorship ended, she has no supervision and, according to sources, has radical mood swings that we're told are "shocking."

We're told the few people who remain in Britney's life say she was doing much better when she was under a conservatorship. As one source said, "She had lots of freedom in the conservatorship and the restrictions were there to protect her. She's not protected anymore."

Our Britney sources are angry at what's happened since the conservatorship ended, saying she's gotten absolutely "no justice" ... and that involves her finances.

We're told Britney has been spending a fortune and is in real danger of going broke. Our sources say she's been going to French Polynesia, staying at The Brando, and spending close to a million dollars each trip between private jets, hotels, staff, etc. She goes every month or 2. We're told she also goes to Hawaii almost monthly by herself, taking a private jet, staying in the Presidential Suite at the Four Seasons, and dropping $350k a trip.

"She cannot afford this. She had $60 million when the conservatorship ended, and she's now where the conservatorship started -- in danger of going broke" ... one source said.

As we reported she's paid north of $4 million to her attorney, Mathew Rosengart.

The Fallout fandom is crushing hard on The Ghoul.

Deborah Vance is back.

Michael Moore has sent a warning to President Joe Biden, saying his chance of losing the election in November is “so great” due to the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza.

Michael Moore appeared Monday on CNN’s The Source with Kaitlan Collins. During the segment, Collins referenced a recent poll showing that 81 percent of voters age 18 to 35 disapprove of Biden’s handling of the conflict in the Middle East.

“I’d like to speak to one particular individual — and that is President Biden,” Moore said. “I want to say this on your show tonight that his chance of not being reelected, I think, at this point is so great because of those numbers, and because he’s losing the youth vote. He’s lost the Arab-American vote in Michigan.”

Moore said that he is “trying to save Joe Biden.”

“We need an immediate ceasefire,” the filmmaker said, then addressing Biden: “You can stop the killing tonight.”

He added: “We’re going to lose the election. We’re going to lose Michigan if we don’t turn this around. If President Biden doesn’t turn this around, that is going to do more to put Trump back in the white house. And I refuse to have Donald Trump back in the White House.”

Citing young voters who are overwhelmingly unhappy with Biden’s stance on Gaza, Moore said, “They’re not going to vote for Trump, ever. But they may not vote.”

I have a relative who is usually very stoic and easy going. Rarely shows emotion, happy or sad, but is neutral most of the time.

However, he once told me about a ghostly encounter he had in his early twenties. He was riding his bike along an isolated stretch of countryside. It was a bright, sunny day and there was nobody else around, and no cars. As he continued down the road, he noticed a person in front of a billboard, hunched over like they were doing something in the grass. When this person saw my relative approaching, he stopped whatever he was doing in the grass, hide behind the billboard for a moment, then came back out and stuck his thumb out like he was trying to catch a drive.

My relative found this weird because he was on a bike, not a car, so it's not like he could offer the guy a drive. As my relative rode closer, he noticed how strange-looking the man near the billboard was. He said his neck was way too long, his face was small and the lower face was smooth with no mouth or jaw. The eyes were huge, and he was wearing a cap or beret. No nose, just nostril holes. He was really tall and had very long arms. My relative said the moment he saw this guy, he was overwhelmed with a surge of primal fear, like he was looking at an uncanny valley creation.

He rode away as fast as he could, and looked over his shoulder to see the guy staring at him in the distance, now with his arms behind his back. My relative got genuinely teary-eyed telling me this story, and looked very uneasy. I'm usually a skeptic, but whatever he saw must have been real to him.

Mine, yours, someone else's.

Mine are hanging low today but sometimes they are so close as to be nonexistent..

I found this clip from the end of the 1986 Emmy Awards. Betty had won the Emmy for Lead Actress in a Comedy literally just minutes before, which by all accounts, pissed off Bea to no end. There is no evidence of hostility in this clip. Either Bea is acting for the cameras, or she's still in denial and the anger hadn't had time to settle yet.

Also, why does Bea get to sing the whole first part of the song by herself, and the other three just get a line or two? Poor Rue just gets a few words.

Saw this acronym yesterday on a press release from a "gay rights" nonprofit, although I assume they'd take issue with the term gay rights at this point.

Apparently "2S" stands for "two spirits."

I'm all for inclusivity. I am a trans ally. I believe everyone should be able to identify themselves however they want. But to me, an acronym like that signals a kind of deep triviality. It's confusing and off-putting, as well as non-inclusive in its own way.

End rant.

This is so sad. My grandmother died after a long battle with this horrible disease.

Back in her heyday, was she someone the average person listened to on the radio?

She’s going full disco diva and will be dropping her first album in 15 years this summer. “Legs” was written by the same team who composed Vanessa’s early hits “The Right Stuff” and “The Comfort Zone.”

I love it, it reminds me of Paula Abdul!! This one is definitely for the gays.

Beauty, elegance, and not being Audrey Hepburn made her an international star.

Her screen career was short but legendary: High Noon, The Country Girl, Dial M for Murder, Rear Window, To Catch a Thief, The Swan, and High Society. Then, at the height of her career she became a literal princess when she married Rainer III, Prince of Monaco.

As Princess of Monaco, she focused on bringing ballet, opera, fashion, and horticulture to the People of Monaco. She was also the first female board member of 20th Century Fox, an author on both poetry and horticulture, and she sought to historically restore Newport, Rhode Island.

However, tragedy struck in 1982 when she suffered a cerebral hemorrhage while driving and drove off a mountain at the age of 52.

I want to see Shawn Mendes’ cock. It probably not big but I’m very curious to see it.

Donald lied to me! I negotiated my price based on the fact I would be your only whore. All that money you paid to those other woman should have gone into my purse, not their cooters. I am heartbroken about the money. I could have used that for our awkward Aspie son to go to fake college like his mother.

Nicholas Galitzine at Mary & George premiere

Henry Edward Garcia (Hank Cheyne) was born on August 13, 1958 in Santa Maria, California. He is of German and Dutch descent on his mothers side and Native American, Spanish and Mexican descent on his fathers side. He was raised in a Roman Catholic household and went to a parochial middle school and high school. After high school he went to Santa Clara University where he played Varsity baseball and graduated with a BSC in Business. After that he attended UCLA Law School where he received his Juris Doctor degree.

While in Law School he was approached by photographer Steven Arnold, who took notice of the handsome young man and asked to photograph him. He agreed. After this a friend of his recommended he get into acting because of his good looks and presence, and recommended him to an acting coach. He began taking acting lessons and the coach, Vincent Chase, told him he should go to an open casting for a big feature editorial in GQ Magazine. Hank went and the photographer doing the casting was Bruce Weber, who cast Hank almost immediately (photo taken can be seen below). Weber took such a liking to him and his striking beauty that he continued working with him, featuring Hank in magazines such as British Vogue, Italian Vogue, in an editorial in Las Vegas with Christie Brinkley, and for a major Gianni Versace campaign. After Weber he went on to shoot with acclaimed photographers Herb Ritts, Mathew Rolston, and Fabrizio Gianni among others.

He juggled being a model while also attending Law School for a few years before graduating and passing the California Bar Exam. He almost immediately was offered a full time offer from a Beverly Hills law firm. Before committing and needing a break from seven straight years of college and grad school, he asked for and received a deferment with an open offer to return to practice law. Following commercial and print work he moved to Europe, traveling extensively, eventually living in Italy and then later Tokyo, Japan, before returning to the U.S. where he committed to pursuing a career as an actor after being discovered by another acting coach while living in Milan.

In 1986 he was cast in Another World as Scott Love/Lasalle in NYC. However, when his two year contract was over he decided against renewing it as he wants to move back to California. After moving back to California he did small parts in B flicks, tv commercials and guest spots on some shows, and continued this for years.

1996 he co-founded a theater company on Hollywood Theater Row and starred in the world premiere of Steve Monroe's 'A Kind Man and A Good Lover' in the role of Frank Mackie, for which he received a Los Angeles Ovation Award Nomination. That same year Aaron Spelling met him and cast him as Detective Ricardo Torres on Sunset Beach, which would premiere in 1997. The soap ran for 3 years but was a cult hit in the UK and big hit in places like Russia and Poland.

In the early 00s he gained a passion for art and began painting, even getting a studio space in LA to do so, and Gallery representation on Melrose Ave.

In 2006 he returned to acting in a show called “Saints & Sinners”, which ran for 62 episodes. In 2009/2010 he had a recurring role as Austin Buttercup in HBO’s Big Love. After that he had big guest starring roles on Sons of Anarchy and Criminal Minds. In 2014 he was cast in a recurring role for Longmire and cast in an episode of The Morning Show in 2019.

The beloved Pennsylvania emotional support alligator, Wally, has gone missing in Brunswick, Georgia.

Jerry Seinfeld's latest vanity project is this screwball comedy set in 1963, detailing the totally fictional origin story of the Pop-Tart. Seinfeld plays an executive for Kellogg's who steers his invention through a competition with Post Cereals to see who could get a breakfast pastry to market first.

Unlike the many recent true-to-life origin stories about Beanie Babies and Flamin' Hot Cheetos, this work is entirely fictional, and based around an old joke from Seinfeld's standup career. There was no cutthroat competition to invent a toaster pastry. There was no scandal. Marjorie Post was real, but she didn't send a goon squad to beat up the pastry chefs of Battle Creek.

Some people have too much money.

Nikki Haley? DeSantis?

I'm really loving it.

Jared the Bosun is hilarious and weird. He seems stoned most of the time.

Fraser is being an absolute cunt this season. What crawled up his tight ass? And why does he keep calling himself "Mother?"

At first I didn't like Cat, but after hearing her story, I feel bad for her. I'm almost forced to like her.

Barbie is a feisty Latina firecracker.

Not sure what's the trip with Xandi, but she's just odd.

Sunny is cute. She and Ben would make a nice couple, if Ben didn't keep throwing her under the bus.

Kyle is cute too. His Irish accent makes him better looking than he actually is, though.

Speaking of Kyle and Ben, I am LOVING the shots in their cabin, where they keep exposing their bare asses to each other (and us)! On the show, Ben comes across as a total womanizer, but I swear, something about him is very gay. I especially loved the scene where he was rubbing lotion all over Kyle's back - all the way down to his exposed ass!

And the French Chef. He's tres gay, even though he is trying to pretend that he's straight.

I loved his hilarious story about how he got married at 26. Then his uncle offered his wife a job on a yacht as a Stewardess, and she never contacted him again. So he said now it's just him and his cat. Rofl!! Honey, your wife knows you're gay!

This season is very entertaining.

DEAR ABBY: I am a lesbian who recently experienced heartbreak by falling in love with my mentor and boss. I didn't want it to happen, but it did. The time we spent together was a balance of bliss and fear. My heart and soul feel that she feels the same way about me. I left my job because my feelings for her became so overwhelming, I could no longer cope.

She knows how I feel about her, and she has shown interest in me in the past. She is not gay, but I do know of straight women who have fallen in love with one woman in their lives. We have a 15-year age difference. That doesn't matter to me. I'm absolutely crazy about her. I dream about our Victorian home together and a beautiful garden and life. I want nothing else but to make her happy for the rest of her life, make her breakfast every morning and beautiful dinners every night.

We are no longer communicating, upon her request. I want to heal my heart and live my life. It's so hard to let go of her, but I know I should. On the other hand, something tells me I should wait for her. How can I move forward and find the love I deserve in this life? -- CRUSHED IN CALIFORNIA

DEAR CRUSHED: If you really want to find the love you know you deserve, then you are going to have to find someone who is ready and willing to provide it. This person is not. She was interested in you only as a friend and an employee. Asking you to stop communicating with her was a strong message.

It may take time and even psychological counseling to help you disengage from your fantasy of an idealized life with this woman. But for the sake of your sanity, it's important that you try.

Apologies if this has been posted. I searched for both Dahmer and Noem.

“Cricket was a wirehair pointer, about 14 months old,” the South Dakota governor writes in a new book, adding that the dog, a female, had an “aggressive personality” and needed to be trained to be used for hunting pheasant.

She includes her story about the ill-fated Cricket, she says, to illustrate her willingness, in politics as well as in South Dakota life, to do anything “difficult, messy and ugly” if it simply needs to be done.

By taking Cricket on a pheasant hunt with older dogs, Noem says, she hoped to calm the young dog down and begin to teach her how to behave. Unfortunately, Cricket ruined the hunt, going “out of her mind with excitement, chasing all those birds and having the time of her life”.

Noem describes calling Cricket, then using an electronic collar to attempt to bring her under control. Nothing worked. Then, on the way home after the hunt, as Noem stopped to talk to a local family, Cricket escaped Noem’s truck and attacked the family’s chickens, “grabb[ing] one chicken at a time, crunching it to death with one bite, then dropping it to attack another”

When Noem finally grabbed Cricket, she says, the dog “whipped around to bite me”. Then, as the chickens’ owner wept, Noem repeatedly apologised, wrote the shocked family a check “for the price they asked, and helped them dispose of the carcasses littering the scene of the crime”.

Through it all, Noem says, Cricket was “the picture of pure joy”.

“I hated that dog,” Noem writes, adding that Cricket had proved herself “untrainable”, “dangerous to anyone she came in contact with” and “less than worthless … as a hunting dog”.

“At that moment,” Noem says, “I realised I had to put her down.”

Noem, who also represented her state in Congress for eight years, got her gun, then led Cricket to a gravel pit.

“It was not a pleasant job,” she writes, “but it had to be done. And after it was over, I realised another unpleasant job needed to be done.”

Incredibly, Noem’s tale of slaughter is not finished.

Her family, she writes, also owned a male goat that was “nasty and mean”, because it had not been castrated. Furthermore, the goat smelled “disgusting, musky, rancid” and “loved to chase” Noem’s children, knocking them down and ruining their clothes

Noem decided to kill the unnamed goat the same way she had just killed Cricket the dog. But though she “dragged him to a gravel pit”, the goat jumped as she shot and therefore survived the wound. Noem says she went back to her truck, retrieved another shell, then “hurried back to the gravel pit and put him down”.

At that point, Noem writes, she realised a construction crew had watched her kill both animals. The startled workers swiftly got back to work, she writes, only for a school bus to arrive and drop off Noem’s children.

“Kennedy looked around confused,” Noem writes of her daughter, who asked: “Hey, where’s Cricket?”

Why the long face? Ozempic.

Amid the weight loss treatment’s skyrocketing popularity, surgeons believe that Hollywood is experiencing a spike in the side effect known as “Ozempic Face.”

Several doctors claimed to the Daily Mail that celebs from John Goodman to Sharon Osborne are among those hit hardest by the alleged condition.

For the uninitiated, some side effects of taking Ozempic include sunken eyes, gaunt cheeks and saggy skin, often making the user appear older and more deflated.

Go!

I’ve been a fan for decades. For a Catholic girl, her stuff is twisted. It’s fantastic. Her characters -white and black- are real and flawed.

There’s a new movie opening this weekend about her entitled “Wildcat” starring Maya Hawke and directed by Ethan Hawke. The accents sound Hollywood phony and it has a low IMDb rating but I’m still going to see it.

Brad Gooch (remember him?) published a biography of her in 2009 and he was still looking good.

A $15 million box office with all the overhype and non-stop marketing using her as the headliner.

Having said that, it still dunks anything non-IP that little Chalamet has had top billing in. She’s a much bigger star than him.

Rewatched “Invaders from Mars” last night — the first rewatch since the early 80s and the advent of home video, when I had rented it from New Video in the Village. (Anyone remember New Video?)

It was the first major sci fi film shot in color, released before War of the Worlds (there was a major race between the two productions).

The picture holds up pretty well as a boy in danger narrative in the first half, but ebbs a bit as the military gets involved and becomes a by the numbers action pic (with some 50s “are they subversives?” paranoia thrown in for good measure).

Jimmy Hunt and Helena (not Bonham) Carter are great in the picture. It was Carter’s first role as anything other than the lead’s smart girlfriend, the role she’s best known for, and her last picture. Carter is ravishing in her white shunt and stylish heels — wardrobe by “Norma” — but the look is tarnished a bit by her absurdly large decorative pocket kerchief. The set designs are gorgeous, and the approach to the invasion landing site — a fenced path leading to some sand dunes — is iconic in 50s horror.

Of course some things are dated and unintentionally hilarious. The aliens are a complete hoot — the lead looks like the great gazoo trapped in a goldfish bowl, and his mooks are big guys in furry green suits endlessly galumphing along corridors in the set. And because “the military is called in,” this being the 50s, endless stock footage of US tank destroyers is shown, both M10s and White M3 75mm Gun Motor Carriages. As these blaze away, the aliens ask Carter, “what are they doing up there?” — and I can’t help but wonder that myself, because the alien spaceship has burrowed deep underground.

The American film’s original ending has a fascinating “it was all a dream, but the dream is becoming a reality” twist. When released in the UK, the British distributor hated that, and reshoots were done with a simple and satisfying happy end conclusion.

Ever seen Invaders from Mars? Thoughts? By the way I don’t mean the crass 80s remake.

I grew up in South Carolina and Georgia in the 70s and 80s. I believed that Jean Smart was from somewhere else in the south when designing women was on.

I was surprised to learn that she was from the Pacific Northwest.

Charlene was great. Playing Southren.

It’s juicy!

I'm posting this now, in order to show I'm sober enough to type correctly....I was in a cruise club tonight, it was naked or underwear;and I wore my underwear. I'm fit, but quite shy, so I needed a few drinks in order to have some confidence; 2 spirits came with the entrance fee. Now, understand I'm writing this when I got back to my hotel, so if I seem drunk, then maybe they are right and it's my fault. . But, first, I was stopped from buying alcohol cos they said i was too drunk...(ive never done drugs in my life so maybe they shouldve been watching out for that; so I bought water...2 waters.. About 20 minutes later, after chatting to a sweet twink I did not fancy, but he fancied me....I went back into the cruising area....then I was asked to leave the CRUISE club.... cos I assaulted 2 guys. Now, I didn't so much as get a kiss in this club...I did grab a guys dick, he was naked, in front of me, and it took me ages to get the courage to grab his cock...lots of guys grabbed it b4 me; he pushed me away as I wasnt his type obviously. And then a twink, that I wasn't into, started chatting to me; and we had a kiss. I went back into the cruising area and sat on the stool that I'd sat on b4, like a shy schoolboy; then I was told to leave, that 2 guys had reported me; now the reason im posting this is A. to show im not too drunk and B. to ask, what on earth is going on when guys report u in a cruise club? I was then THROWN out of the club; and I mean THROWN; and I had to use all my strength to remain upright and not fall on the ground. It was a Cruise bar...Im never assertive enough in these types of bars or saunas.. I'm too shy....So I'm stunned as to what this bar called Drunk; plus what on earth would u have to do in a Cruise bar, for 2 guys to report u and get u thrown out? I'm typing this now as I hope it shows that im sober enough to type. Is this where we are in 2024...Im a relic of the past, where cruise clubs are concerned?

The actor also revealed she was initially "really scared to admit" she was attracted to women because she had what she described as safe, strong relationships with all the women in her life who previously saw her as a gay man.

Milo Ventimiglia had all the boxes checked, but couldn’t make the A-list happen. Why? Who else?

As midnight ticks around and the fireworks burst in the skies of my hometown, it’s time for the first reading thread of the New Year, where DataLounge friends share what they are reading, good or bad. Short stories etc are welcome.

As per the previous thread, I am still listening to Moby Dick, but not during chemotherapy, there are too many interruptions and I am enjoying the story far too much for stopping and starting. So it’s on my commute.

I wanted a big, easy to read saga to read over the holidays so I am rereading Gone With The Wind for the first time since childhood. Scarlett has less of Vivien Leigh’s devious intelligence, and Melanie isn’t a beatific and sickly sweet as per Olivia de Havilland but guileless, plucky and almost immature. Reading now, they are very much sheltered teenagers.

I read the CWA Gold Dagger winner every year so The Kingdoms of Savannah by George Dawes Green is on my list.

In my case, it will be the sperm bank scene in "Road Trip" with Seann William Scott

I wonder how soon before they occupy the Skirball Center.

Surprise, Alec Baldwin is talking about procreating again. In an episode of the Our Way With Paul Anka and Skip Bronson podcast released Wednesday, the 66-year-old and father of eight spoke to the show’s hosts about the slim — but not impossible — prospect of growing his family. Again. “I have eight children. I got my oldest daughter. She has a baby and she and her boyfriend are living in Oregon,” Baldwin told the co-hosts of the current state of his decades-long seed-spreading campaign. “I met my wife and we got married and had seven kids in nine years. It’s crazy.”

Baldwin, of course, is referring to his 28-year-old daughter Ireland Baldwin, whom he shares with ex-wife Kim Basinger. The other seven kids — yes, you heard me correctly — belong to wife Hilaria Baldwin, of rumored fake-Spanish-accent fame. The couple certainly has their hands full, considering the brood members range from 16 months to 10 years in age. But when Anka asked if his podcast guest was done having kids, Baldwin didn’t give a straight “no.”

“Oh man, how dare you ask me that question,” he said, laughing. “I think I’m done.” Baldwin admitted he hadn’t always planned on having this many offspring, but that things changed drastically after he met Hilaria (Hilary?). “Every time the [youngest] baby would get to be 2 years old, we go, ‘Maybe it’s time for one more baby, just one more baby …’” he told the co-hosts. Even his wife told Romper last year that they were “probably, most definitely, almost completely” done having kids, while noting at the time that Alec still hadn’t gotten a vasectomy. If you ask me, it sounds like there maybe, possibly, potentially might be room for one more kid. Maybe!

The hilarious self-congratulatory jargon-ridden language about their polyamorous lifestyle makes the whole thing worth reading.

I usually take a pilgrimage to Assouline to have my photo taken beneath this one of Henry Geldzahler and Andy Warhol, two guys who meant so much to my early life in NYC. They opened lots of doors for me into the inner rarefied rooms of the city until they nudged me from the nest to make room for other youngsters they cut from the herd to add to their folds. Henry would have cringed at that mixed metaphor; Andy might have noticed but would not have allowed himself to cringe and mar the mask of himself. They knew when I was ready to make my own way once I'd learned more fully and cleverly the charms of palaver and poise and a kind of performative southernness, some would even say it was - it is - a perversion of southernness because of my politics. But labeling it so just signals their own perverse contextualization of southernness to exclude my hero Fannie Lou Hamer to make way for hoop skirts and "how y'all?"s and honeyed accents that hide the sting of history. Henry and Andy helped me find a sense of home within my southern self when for so long what was within myself back home was what sent me into exile. Henry and Andy - exiled themselves to lives in NY - taught me that to have stayed back where we were raised would have been sentencing ourselves instead to an exile from ourselves. "Sometimes," Henry once said to me. "We are born in Elba. It's getting off that island to this one that saves our lives." He paused and put a Grether's Pastille into his mouth and stared at his half a cigar. He straightened his porcelain bowtie. I heard, as usual, the clink of the ring against it, a ring his jeweler cousin Johnny gave him, a hollowed out gold one inside of which were two small diamonds that could be emptied into one's hand from a tiny secret compartment. Henry emptied them into his soft small palm, they glistened in its pinkness. "Do you know what the name of the ship on which Napoleon was sent to his exile on Elba?" he asked. "The Undaunted. The HMS Undaunted."

As you were.

Anyone interesting, do you think.

I have mixed feelings. I work for a nationwide corp and most of us are working from home since Covid but we got the word that we're expected 3 days a week starting in June. I know there are positives about being back in an interactive office setting, yet I am conjuring up all the shit I didn't have to worry about for the past several years: cost of gas, clean , ironed clothes, etc.

A pair of bears somewhere in the Rockies have constructed a mud-pit (actually kaolin clay) and are producing full-body masturbation porno.

I admit I am not a bear person, but they look kind of cute and happy together.

I had a kaolin clay immersion program as part of therapy for a spine injury and chronic nerve damage. I admit I did not think while submerged "Hey, it would be great to fuck a truck driver in this!" but then, when you have a spinal injury and chronic nerve damage, that is not part of your take on immersion therapies.

That said, it felt great and I think it really was helpful - something about the clay keeping a more even warm temperature than water and I think it really helped me get over an important stage of recovery.

Somehow a yellow jacket got stuck in between a window and the screen and expired. What was surprising was that before I could remove it I noticed other bees hovering just outside and kind of staring at it. Maybe a memorial service? I am wondering how they knew where it was and why they congregated there, like they were paying their respects or trying to figure out if they could save it.

Two boaters seen on a viral video dumping trash into the ocean off Florida are minors, and charges against them are imminent, a state official said Thursday.

Attorneys for the juveniles have advised them not to cooperate with investigators, said Maj. Dustin Bonds, a south region commander with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, or FWC.

The agency is working with prosecutors in Palm Beach County's state attorney's office to determine the appropriate charge, Bonds said.

The weight of the garbage that was dumped Sunday into the Boca Inlet could affect the charges, Bonds said.

Bonds said he was in disbelief as he watched the video because he has never seen anyone dump trash into the ocean.

"I was shocked that folks that are enjoying our waterways, just like the hundreds of boaters in Boca that day were doing, but this one boat decided that it was OK to dump two trash cans overboard," he said.

Others seen on the boat have also been identified, the wildlife agency said.

The Channel 4 doc, titled 'Spacey Unmasked,' will feature interviews with several men about their experiences with the actor.

Max and ID have acquired U.S. rights to a Channel 4 documentary about Kevin Spacey.

The two-part doc, titled Spacey Unmasked, is billed as a “forensic look” at Spacey’s career and the allegations of inappropriate sexual conduct against him. Spacey was acquitted in July 2023 of nine charges in a U.K. criminal case against him.

The documentary will also include interviews with “multiple men unconnected to that case about their experiences with Kevin Spacey, almost all of whom have never spoken before,” along with other previously unseen archival footage and interviews with the actor.

Spacey, a two-time Oscar winner, faced nine criminal charges from four different men in his U.K. trial, ranging from unwanted touching to, according to testimony from one man, performing oral sex on the man while he was asleep. The charges stemmed from alleged acts that occurred from 2001 to 2013; Spacey was artistic director of London’s Old Vic Theatre from 2004-15.

Spacey Unmasked is set to air on Channel 4 in the U.K. on May 6 and 7. Premiere dates for the U.S. and other territories haven’t been announced yet. All3Media International is handling international sales of the documentary and struck a deal with Warner Bros. Discovery for rights to the United States (where it will stream on Max and air on ID’s cable channel) and several other countries.

Katherine Haywood directed and produced Spacey Unmasked. Dorothy Byrne and Mike Lerner are executive producers. Roast Beef Productions (Pussy Riot: A Punk Prayer) produces in association with All3 Media International.

In The Roommate, Sharon’s never had a roommate before—in fact, there’s a lot Sharon’s never done before, but Robyn’s about to change all that.

Dan Schneider Files Defamation Suit Against 'Quiet On Set' Producers “‘Quiet on Set’s’ portrayal of Schneider is a hit job,” the lawsuit reads. By Taiyler S. Mitchell May 1, 2024,

Kids television producer-screenwriter Dan Schneider is suing the producers behind “Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV,” a docuseries about the alleged abuse of child actors on several Nickelodeon shows.

The suit — the defendants in which include Warner Bros. Discovery, Maxine Productions, Sony Pictures Television and others — was filed in Los Angeles Superior Court on Wednesday, more than a month after the docuseries aired on March 17.

“‘Quiet on Set’s’ portrayal of Schneider is a hit job,” the lawsuit, which was obtained by HuffPost, reads. Schneider’s suit seeks financial compensation and to remove or edit parts of the series and the trailer.

Schneider, 58, is known for numerous Nick hits including “All That,” “iCarly,” “Victorious,” “Drake & Josh,” “The Amanda Show,” “Zoey 101″ and “Kenan and Kel.”

He did not appear in the five-part series, but several former child actors shared their experiences on the sets of some of these shows. The series also showed imagery of Schneider cozied up with some of the young female actors on set and several other clips that appeared to show young actresses feeling uncomfortable in his presence.

Subjects in “Quiet on Set” also described Nickelodeon as a workplace that was hostile and discriminatory against women. Sources on the show said that Schneider frequently required the women on set to massage him.

Nickelodeon reportedly cut ties with Schneider in 2018. The company had investigated Schneider for “alleged sexual behavior,” but found only that he had been verbally abusive to employees, according to Business Insider.

“Schneider will be the first to admit that some of what they said is true,” the lawsuit reads. “At times, he was blind to the pain that some of his behaviors caused certain colleagues, subordinates, and cast members. He will regret and atone for this behavior the rest of his life. But one thing he is not — and the one thing that will forever mar his reputation and career both past and present — is a child sexual abuser" In the series, Drake Bell, who starred in Schneider’s “The Amanda Show” and “Drake & Josh,” recounted being sexually abused by Brian Peck, Bell’s dialogue coach.

Several of the former child actors also recalled being forced to participate in scenes that imitate uncomfortable and/or sexual situations under the guise of comedy.

In a statement to HuffPost, Schneider said that the series “highlighted mistakes I made and poor judgment I exhibited during my time at Nickelodeon. ... There is no doubt that I was sometimes a bad leader. I am sincerely apologetic and regretful for that behavior, and I will continue to take accountability for it.”

But Schneider and his lawyers argue the documentary conflates his own misconduct with the child sexual abuse detailed by Bell and others.

“In their successful attempt to mislead viewers and increase ratings, they went beyond reporting the truth and falsely implied that I was involved in or facilitated horrific crimes for which actual child predators have been prosecuted and convicted,” he continued. “I have no objection to anyone highlighting my failures as a boss, but it is wrong to mislead millions of people to the false conclusion that I was in any way involved in heinous acts like those committed by child predators.”

Summarized on Chatgpt

The report on the pro-Palestine student protest at UCLA describes a tense atmosphere marked by a significant presence of masks and limited dialogue, initiated by the appearance of a truck at the campus entrance displaying inflammatory and antisemitic symbols. The protest was characterized by a lack of openness to diverse viewpoints, with protesters adhering to maximalist slogans and showing little room for meaningful engagement or debate. The observer, who wore a pro-peace T-shirt, noted mixed reactions from the crowd, ranging from suspicion to friendliness, but found it challenging to engage in substantive conversations due to the prevailing environment of conformity and fear of retaliation. The report criticizes the movement's direction, led by radical elements that overshadow sincere intentions, and calls for a more informed and balanced approach to genuinely advance the Palestinian cause.

I bought a lap desk about ten years ago and love it, nice, comfortable cushion on bottom.

I recently ordered a new fancy schmancy one that was wider and had phone and cup holder but I didn't like it and sent it back. Too big and the cushion on bottom wasn't comfortable. I'll stick with my basic old one that is just slightly wider than the laptop and no bells and whistles.

Very interesting article (it's a gift article so no paywall)

CNN’s Kaitlin Collins looks like Joanna the Goanna from The Rescuers Down Under.

How many of you attended "Oprah's Legends Ball" 18 years ago this weekend ? Ms. Winfrey, ever the gracious hostess kicked off the weekend that Friday afternoon with an elegant 'Legends Luncheon', held on her California 42 acre estate known as 'The Promised Land'. The celebration included the Friday luncheon, Saturday evening's white-tie ball, and Sunday's gospel brunch. Among the Legends being honored were also the 'legends on the rise' called 'the young'uns' by Oprah.

The 25 Legends who were honored were: Maya Angelou, Shirley Caesar, Diahann Carroll, Elizabeth Catlett, Ruby Dee, Katherine Dunham, Roberta Flack, Aretha Franklin, Nikki Giovanni, Dorothy Height, Lena Horne, Coretta Scott King, Gladys Knight, Patti LaBelle, Toni Morrison, Rosa Parks, Leontyne Price, Della Reese, Diana Ross, Naomi Sims, Tina Turner, Cicely Tyson, Alice Walker, Dionne Warwick, and Nancy Wilson. (Lena Horne was unable to attend due to 'illness' ).

The "young'uns" invited included Alicia Keys, Ashanti, Angela Bassett, Halle Berry, Mary J. Blige, Brandy, Naomi Campbell, Mariah Carey, Natalie Cole, Kimberly Elise, Missy Elliott, Tyra Banks, Iman, Janet Jackson, Phylicia Rashad, Debbie Allen, Alfre Woodard, Yolanda Adams among others. Throughout the weekend, the "young'uns" paid homage to the "legends" for their great contributions.

After lunch, an army of waitstaff reappeared, this time carrying red alligator boxes. Oprah asked that all her guests open their gifts at once. There was a moment of silence. Then Angela Bassett let out a scream, Debbie Allen a fantastic shriek. Under her cloudlike hat, Cicely Tyson covered her face with her hands. Diahann Carroll stood up and exclaimed, "You have lost your incredible mind!" Inside each box was a pair of diamond earrings: A large hoop dripping with diamonds for the younger women, an elegant double teardrop for the Legends.

Barbara Walters, Barbra Streisand and her husband Jim Brolin, Nate Berkus, John Travolta and his wife Kelly Preston, and a young Senator named Barack Obama and his wife Michele were all in attendance, as well. (Allegedly, it was this weekend when Oprah 'and others' pulled Obama aside and advised him to 'seriously consider running for the President in the next election.)

Talking to the press once the festivities were over, many of the attendees gave praise to their host and fellow guests.

"This is a magnificent thing, to bring these particular people together," Della Reese said. "This is love."

Diahann Carroll said Oprah pulled her aside with singer Diana Ross and asked them to join her in the kitchen. There, the two legends patched up their friendship which had broken nearly 35 years earlier, when Carroll accused Ross of stealing the movie 'Lady Sings The Blues' from her. (Ross always said she had nothing to do with it - it was Berry Gordy's idea). "It's been a long, long time" said Carroll to reporters, "but we made amends. We exchanged phone numbers and plan on meeting for dinner soon. A lot of time has past." Ross told the press she was happy to reconnect with Carroll after 'so many years wasted'.

The weekend did not go without criticism, though. Many reporters wanted to know why Whoopi Goldberg, Eartha Kitt and Donna Summer were not invited among others - all considered legends in Black Women History. (Oprah had no comment to the press about her guest list. Whoopi later said she felt 'slighted' but 'got over it', while Summer and Kitt had no comments).

Highlights from the weekend aired on ABC a year later.

Thousands gathered to protest in Tbilisi on Wednesday night, May 1 as Georgia’s parliament had approved the second reading of a “foreign influence” bill. The “foreign influence” bill, also known as 'Russian Law,' which requires groups funded from abroad to register as foreign agents.

Regarding the Russian law in Georgia, which caused a wave of outrage in the country's society and was criticized by the European Union, she noted the Georgian people's desire for a European future for their country.

"Georgia is at a crossroads. It should stay the course on the road to Europe," von der Leyen, president of the European Commission emphasized.

Meghan Markle’s podcast has been “pushed back” until next year, according to reports.

Reportedly, Richard Eden, the editor for Mail Online, said that Archetypes would be published next year 'at the earliest' in collaboration with Lemonada Media. Eden wrote for the Daily Mail, "A source [who is based in California] tells me there is not expected to be any work broadcast this year.

The relaunch of Meghan's Archetypes podcast got pushed back to 2025." Additionally, Eden said that Lemonada did not want Meghan's upcoming (cooking and gardening) Netflix series, which is currently shooting, to 'overshadow' the podcast's debut.

Carla Gugino has been tapped to play Hollywood screen legend Vivien Leigh in the forthcoming biopic “The Florist.”

She claimed Melissa McCarthy only got the role because she was friends with Paul Feig.

I'd suggest she got the role because she's a spectacular multidimensional actress who can improvise like very few other actresses.

But Rebel did get to play the English sister and have a bath with her double Matt Lucas. And she got paid $3500 for that!

On the April 19 episode of her podcast misSPELLING, the Beverly Hills, 90210 alum, 50, shared her response when fans ask why she hasn’t been cast on the hit Bravo series.

"I'm like, I don't know," Spelling said. "Once, I asked Andy Cohen, who I love and have known forever, been on his show many times. He was like, 'Yeah, we keep getting this question.'"

"And I'm like, 'So, Andy, what's the answer?'” she continued. "He was like, 'Ehh, I don't know. You and the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills? I can't see it.'"

The actress recalled Cohen, 55, asking her if she already knew the cast of the series.

In response, she told the Housewives executive, “Every single one of them I am friends with and have known forever and have a history.”

Apparently, it's 25 year old Damiano David who comes from Rome. Damiano is the frontman for the band Måneskin (MAH-ne-skin) which translated from Danish means "moonlight."

IMO, it's too bad he ruined his chest and torso with all the tattoos.

The older I get the more I appreciate nature. I started hiking last year, mostly just hiking trails close to where I live, but they're challenging enough. I consider doing longer mountain hikes in the future, but I need to improve my fitness first. I'm depressed and have found that hiking has a positive effect on both my physical and mental health. I have gained a lot of kgs lately as I'm on anti-depressants, so I'm trying to lose weight too.

The actor's neighbor, music attorney Helen Yu, claims that the tree roots have caused damage to her Hollywood Hills property.

Aerial photos show the affluent Los Angeles neighborhood adorned with sprawling homes, bright green trees, and sparkling blue pools.

The giant tree in the center of the image belongs to the star whose home is to the right.

Pine, 43, allegedly planted about a dozen ficus trees at the border of his Los Angeles home and due to their chaotic roots, they have started to grow into Yu's property, according to court documents seen by The U.S. Sun, first obtained by TMZ.

She claims that the trees have uprooted the concrete around her home and have begun to creep into the foundation of her home.

What do we know about him. Apparently he is a close personal friend of Michael Cimino, who is straight but plays Gay on Love Victor, currently shooting Season 3. Now Joshua is not, to my knowledge a pat of the series, but he spends a lot of time with Michael, and both of them travel back and forth between L.A. and NYC. He sings. I think he has been on stage too. Beautiful voice. He's about 21-22. Michael took these pictures.

Shiv, I mean Shari, has been unable to save Waystar, I mean National Amusements. It will be probably be sold to Skydance, who will do… something with it. No one knows. In all likelihood, the TV business (CBS, one iconic and now useless MTV Networks) will be spun off to be sold for scrap. Paramount Plus will shut down. Paramount Pictures, which was burnt to the ground by Brad Grey, does not have significant IP to make it a lucrative acquisition. It could be whittled down to barebones (Netflix would like a nice lot) and simply exist as a dealer of content to other companies.

OR… Can anyone remember a time when six large companies dominated a single industry, and then something really BAD happened which made them lose a lot of money, and everybody panicked, so then the six companies all paired off and became three really large companies that are still around today?

The Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta’s GDPNow tracker now predicts that second-quarter GDP will contract by 1%. That’s quite the dip from the tracker’s early June prediction for an increase of 1.3% in the second quarter.

If the Atlanta Fed’s pessimistic outlook is correct, coupled with the 1.6% decline in GDP seen in the first quarter, it would mean two consecutive quarters of a shrinking economy, and therefore a recession.

Of course, what determines a recession is not quite as airtight as just two consecutive down quarters. The National Bureau of Economic Research, which is often seen as the official judge of business cycles, defines a recession as “a significant decline in economic activity that is spread across the economy and that lasts more than a few months.”

Still, every recession since World War II has included a two-quarter consecutive decline in GDP, and that definition remains widely accepted on Wall Street.

Do you think we're are currently in an economic recession? Btw, I love the article image.

Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-Butcher Holler), who chairs the House Education Committee, is eager to dig into the latest campus protests and find a way to blame it on foreigners. She's been after student visas for years, and never misses an opportunity to link ANY educational issue to a surplus of brown-skinned beauties in America.

Foxx is also widely known for claiming - in front of the boy's mother - that Matthew Shepard was killed during a botched sex-for-drugs encounter, and wasn't hate-crimed. She grew up in a house without indoor plumbing or mirrors, and it shows.

Donald Trump on Monday complained that he won't be able to attend his son Barron's high school graduation because he has to attend his New York criminal trial.

“As you know, my son has graduated from high school, and it looks like the judge will not let me go through the graduation of my son, who's worked very, very hard. He's a great student,” Trump said to reporters outside a New York courtroom. “He's very proud of the fact that he did so well and was looking forward for years to have graduation with his mother and father there.”

“It looks like the judge isn't going to allow me to escape this scam. It's a scam trial,” Trump said. “It's a political witch hunt.”

I don’t see a thread on this. Just watched it last night and I feel as if the actor (and writer) is too old looking to suspend disbelief. He looks the same age as the stalker and the abuser. But I thought it was an interesting perspective on loneliness causing people to be complicit in their own suffering. What thinks the DL? Richard Gadd looks too scrawny and bug eyed haunted for my taste.

Continuing our discussion.

I love her. She is an instant DL icon. She is like something “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt” made up, except they would have used a puppet. She is like a character Woody Allen forgot to insert into “Everyone Says I Love You” that would have made that movie work.

I think I want to be her.

Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. needled President Biden Wednesday, offering a zany “no spoiler” agreement that whichever of the two candidates is least likely to defeat Donald Trump drops out of the race in October.

During a news conference in Brooklyn, the 70-year-old RFK Jr. proposed that he and Biden co-fund a 50-state poll of at least 30,000 likely voters to determine which candidate is the true “spoiler” who would ensure a victory for the 45th president by continuing to campaign.

“Ultimately, I think what we all want in this election is [for] Americans not to feel like they have to vote out of fear,” Kennedy told reporters. “That they feel like they can vote out of hope. And that is only going to happen if there’s a two-way race between me and President Trump or me and President Biden.”

The poll would measure the likelihood both of Kennedy defeating Trump, 77, in a head-to-head race and Biden, 81, repeating his 2020 victory over his Republican rival.

The Democratic National Committee quickly pooh-poohed the proposal from Kennedy, claiming he was there as a Trump ally.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr is a spoiler- recruited by the MAGA GOP and propped up by Trump’s largest donor. His ‘Veep’-like performance today does nothing to dispel that notion- it only reinforces how deeply unserious his campaign is,” DNC spokesperson Matt Corridoni told The Post in a statement.

But polls do show that Kennedy has significant support against Biden, the presumptive Democratic nominee.

At Wednesday’s event, the Kennedy campaign cited a 50-state poll conducted by John Zogby Strategies that indicated the independent would win a two-way race against Biden and Trump.

In the survey, which polled over 26,000 people, Kennedy won 367 electoral votes to Biden’s 171. Against Trump, RFK Jr. barely obtained the magic number of 270 electoral votes.

In the widely expected Trump-Biden rematch, the 45th president knocked off his successor by 294 electoral votes to 244, according to Zogby.

The new season debuts on Feb. 28.

Does anyone remember the 90’s Comedy Central show called “Strangers with Candy?” It features Amy Sedaris as the troubled lead character (“Geri Blank”) and features a very young Stephen Colbert playing a high school teacher (“Mr. Noblet”). The premise is that Geri fell into a life of crime as a high school student and spent ~30 years of hard time. Now, at age 46, she returns back to the same high school and is treated like any other high school student (even though she uses foul language, tells racist and sexist drugs, and frequently talks about giving somebody the shiv, etc.

It is a send up of the bullshit hassles of high school, and is a mockery of after-school specials. For those unfamiliar with those, they were very preachy situation dramas (such as bullying of a new student, or an alcoholic parent, or discovering one’s aunt can’t read, etc.) capped off with a trite, moralistic conclusion. You can watch it on Comedy Central or Paramount+.

It could never be made today because of its frequently sexist, homophobic, and racist comments, and outrageous situations (such as Geri selling a baby on the black market). However, it is a comedy. I find it hysterically funny. It delivered excellent performance from all the staff, but Colbert is notable because he co-created the show and wrote many episodes and frequently does musical dance numbers.

Any other fans?

A tweet purporting to show Donald Trump glumly receiving a portrait of his wife, Melania Trump, has gone viral and sparked a huge response online.

Many said there was a lot to unpack, starting with Trump’s miserable expression at the gift. Then there was the painting itself, which bears only a passing resemblance to his wife. And let’s not overlook the artist’s hope that the portrait brings Trump, “as much joy on his bedroom walls as it did ours!”

At the time of writing, the tweet has been liked 13k times and prompted over 2k replies.

Many hailed the post as hysterical.

Big, lots of light, well located, nice views, comfortable, yet a bit dull on the architecture end. An apartment where the furnishings and personal additions will make the place (or not.)

The plan is quite good, an entry hall opening to a split-level living room, a dining room, and to the eat-in kitchen beyond which are service areas and a service entrance. Bedrooms are well arranged off a corridor that connects to the entrance hall. The public rooms and bedrooms don't have the usual sense of some being markedly better positioned.in the building than others.

Mo'Nique reignited her years-long feud with Oprah Winfrey and Tyler Perry through a scathing rant delivered during her latest stand-up routine.

The 56-year-old Oscar winner launched into a verbal attack, brimming with racially-charged insults aimed at the Hollywood heavyweights, on stage at Katt Williams' comedy tour.

Fan videos posted online show the actress in a profanity-laden tirade calling the pair 'coon motherf******' before slamming Oprah as 'simple-minded' and referring to the TV host as a 'raggedy bitch'.

After shouting 'F*** YOU OPRAH WINFREY, F*** YOU TYLER PERRY!!!', Mo'Nique urged the crowd to repeat it, using a crude call-back technique.

She also proceeded to raise doubts about Oprah's relationship with Gayle King, hinting at a romantic involvement between the two.

'Who is loving Oprah and Gayle King? Each other. But we can't say that s*** out loud,' she added.

The tirade concluded with Mo'Nique telling the audience, 'I'm too motherf***ing old to be scared of this bitch. I'm too old to be intimidated by this bitch. I'm too old to hold the motherf***ing truth.

South Dakota governor and Republican vice presidential contender Kristi Noem on Friday responded to a news report about a section of her forthcoming book where she describes killing her 14-month-old dog.

“We love animals, but tough decisions like this happen all the time on a farm,” she said in a post to X above a headline from The Guardian, which obtained a copy of Noem's upcoming book, “No Going Back.”

The Guardian's article describes a section of Noem's book, set for release next month, in which she recounted shooting her dog after deciding it was “less than worthless” and “untrainable.”

In her account, Noem grabbed her gun and led the dog, named Cricket, to a gravel pit.

“It was not a pleasant job, but it had to be done. And after it was over, I realized another unpleasant job needed to be done,” Noem wrote.

She then went on to kill a family goat, which she called “nasty and mean.” Noem also led the goat to a gravel pit, where she said her first shot wounded but did not kill the animal. She got another shell for her gun and killed the goat, according to the book.

I've posted another thread about this Florida queen who lives at home. He's not someone I consider hot yet he's so particular about who's profiles he responds to. He says he doesn't have a type yet is only interested in TALL guys. That means he does have a type.

A family is pleading for answers in the search for a University of Missouri student who has been missing since Friday after he left a bar in Nashville, Tennessee.

Riley Strain, 22, a senior, was last seen Friday night by friends at a bar in Nashville’s bustling Broadway area, known for nightlife, Nashville police said.

He was visiting town with his Delta Chi fraternity brothers for their spring formal, the St. Louis-Post Dispatch reported, but they got separated after he was asked to leave country singer Luke Bryan's bar, Luke’s 32 Bridge Food + Drink, his family told NBC affiliate WSMV of Nashville.

“At approximately 9:45 p.m., he was asked to leave Luke Bryan’s bar,” Strain’s stepfather, Chris Whiteid, told the station. “They got separated. The boys called him, and he said, 'I’m walking back to my hotel.' They didn’t think anything about it.”

When his friends returned to Tempo Hotel, about a half-mile away, they saw Strain’s room key but no sign of him. When they tried to call him, his phone was dead.

The young men went out to search for him, checked his Snapchat locations, and they went through the other fraternity brothers’ rooms but did not find him, so they called his parents.

Whiteid, along with his wife, Michelle Whiteid, traveled from Springfield, Missouri, to Nashville to search for him.

“We talk every day, multiple times a day,” Michelle Whiteid said. “This is the longest I’ve ever gone without talking to him.”

“We’re in a bad dream. Can we wake up? Please, just let us wake up,” her husband told WSMV.

Chris Whiteid told the Post-Dispatch that according to security video, it appeared that Strain was heading back to the hotel but took a wrong turn. It's not clear where the video was from.

Searches took place Monday, including a helicopter search of Gay Street, the area where Strain was last seen, the riverbank and a ground search, “but to no avail,” police said.

On Tuesday, police shared security video showing Strain, wearing a two-tone shirt, crossing 1st Avenue North to Gay Street at 9:47 p.m. Friday. That cross-section is about 0.7 miles from the bar he was at earlier.

TC Restaurant Group, the operator and owner of Luke’s 32 Bridge, said it, too, was working with police to provide security camera video and other potentially helpful information to aid in the search.

Strain is described as 6-foot-5 with a thin build, blue eyes and light brown hair.

It was just over 30 years ago she part of the ensemble of All My Children, then 1997 hit. Buffy the Vampire Slayer, I Know What You Did Last Summer, and Scream 2 catapulted her into becoming a household name.

So if you check the other thread you can see all the evidence but basically what they have is an open relationship. This will work for Gage cause he’s a cheater anyways and the old guy is desperate for someone to love him. I’m sure he knows Gage is a cheater and is only committing to this just to keep Gage around.

Oh btw Gage those pictures you posted early are old. The one of the dog and you of the boys in Portland 😂

If you have been to a bathhouse- what were your adventures there?

I went a week ago and I had sex with this guy who sucked on my toes and fingers besides my cock which he said was HUGE but I noticed a bit later that his penis was impressively small- I would say that full erect he was only about 3.5 inches.

Yes or no?

Long, and at his point, sexless marriage (20+ years). Want to spill my load in some paid for hot ass. If I am a top only, given that nearly all escorts are on prep, do I need to be? Seems like such a hassle for the two or three times a year I travel for business these days where I might be able to get some high quality ass (don’t shit where I eat). Theoretically monogamous, but if we haven’t had sex in 10+ years does it matter?

Can I skip the doctor’s visit and just flood their guts?

Please advise.

Faye Dunaway's reputation for being hard to work with may just have been bolstered anew as a clip from the 1990s has emerged, showing the temperamental actor ordering a crew member to "please leave."

UK newspaper the Daily Mail reported that in the clip, filmed in 1996 as Dunaway was making a commercial, "Dunaway, now 83, can be seen ordering a crew member off set merely because she could see him."

The Mail rounded out the story, explaining that the ad was being made for Dunaway's "live stage show 'Master Class,' a play based on the life of opera singer Maria Callas..."

In the clip, "Dunaway glares at an unseen crew member behind the camera lens and says: 'Could you leave please, you're right in my eyeline.'"

Other snippets from the same shoot have also come to light, including one in which Dunaway carps at a crew member for calling, "Action!" before she is ready.

Politically and ethically fraught, research into what leads to bisexual behavior or exclusive homosexuality typically sparks controversy. The latest study, published today in Science Advances, is no exception. By mining a DNA database of some 450,000 people in the United Kingdom, a research team has concluded that the genes underlying bisexual behavior are distinct from those driving exclusive same-sex behavior, and may be intertwined with a propensity for taking risks. This connection to risk-taking, the authors suggest, may also explain why men with a history of bisexual behavior still have a reasonably high number of offspring, albeit fewer than heterosexual men, possibly explaining why the genes driving such sexual behavior have persisted.

President Biden has committed 148 gaffes and verbal stumbles in public comments so far this year, which White House staff have scrambled to fix in official transcripts.

Biden, 81, tripped over his tongue in at least 118 statements, speeches or comments between Jan. 1 and April 24, according to an analysis of White House records reviewed by the Daily Caller — meaning there were more glaring errors to correct than official announcements.

𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝒃𝒆𝒍𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒅 𝒄𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒈𝒆𝒔 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒃𝒆𝒆𝒏 𝒎𝒂𝒅𝒆 𝒆𝒊𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓 𝒕𝒐 𝒌𝒆𝒆𝒑 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒑𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒊𝒅𝒆𝒏𝒕’𝒔 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒅𝒔 𝒊𝒏 𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒆 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒑𝒖𝒃𝒍𝒊𝒄 𝒑𝒐𝒍𝒊𝒄𝒚 𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆𝒔 𝒐𝒓 𝒄𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒈𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒎𝒆𝒂𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒐𝒇 𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒔 𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒓𝒆𝒍𝒚.

Last week, Biden read a cue from his teleprompter out loud during a speech at the North America’s Building Trades Unions National Legislative Conference, botching a scripted call for his re-election.

“Folks, imagine what we can do next,” he told the audience. “Four more years. Pause.”

The original White House transcript initially omitted the “pause” and put “inaudible” in its place before correcting it again.

The president’s loose grasp of numbers has been on display as well, as when he has falsely inflated spending by the executive branch or efforts to vaccinate Americans from COVID-19.

“We vaccinated the vast bulk of America. We got through that pandemic with less than 200 million — with less than 2 million people being vaccinated when I came to office. Today, 720 [270] million Americans have gotten COVID vaccine,” a Jan. 30 campaign speech transcript shows.

The population of America is approximately 335 million, according to US Census Bureau data.

Biden also faltered during his State of the Union Address by claiming “every American voted against” his 2021 American Rescue Plan — when he meant to say “every Republican,” an edited White House transcript shows.

“We must be honest: The threat to democracy must be defended,” Biden declared. The White House later changed “defended” to “defeated.”

But the most notable flub of the night was Biden’s mispronunciation of the name of 22-year-old Georgia nursing student Laken Riley, who authorities say was killed by a migrant who illegally entered the US during his presidency.

All told, the outlet found 13 emendations to Biden’s most recent State of the Union transcript. None were made to former President Donald Trump’s last address to Congress in February 2020.

Likewise at the National Prayer Breakfast this year, Biden’s words were massaged eight times in the transcript, whereas Trump’s last speech at the event in 2020 included only one altered quote.

The mixups amended by Biden’s staff don’t include dubious suggestions about his personal history or career in public service — including his recent suggestion that cannibals ate his uncle during World War II.

The Caller’s analysis excluded grammatical errors that did not change the meaning of the president’s statements, such as adding an “s” to make a noun plural.

This idea started on the Internet after his death and now people just run with it. It’s like when Marilyn Monroe died and everyone suddenly began proclaiming that she was a comedic genius. Norm would get dead silence when he did Weekend Update on SNL because he was so unfunny. I’m not saying he never came up with a funny line, but people who keep spouting this nonsense never even saw him perform. It’s ridiculous. It’s like when people say, “People forget that Lindsay Lohan is actually a fantastic actress.” No she wasn’t. lol

The Tale of the Tampon

But the tampon takes the cake. (Major props to Steve McGuire for compiling the best episode of the internet since. . . yesterday.)

Here’s what went down: during one of those 21.5 hours of the protest, probably at an ungodly one, a few of the student demonstrators decided to call 911. That’s because their friend, who was part of the sit-in, had to change her tampon.

Specifically, she was “being denied the right to change her tampon that has been in for multiple hours, which leads to an increased risk of toxic shock syndrome.”

The frankly Zen-like 911 operator, who deserves a raise, was understandably confused. “Ma’am, do you have an emergency?”

Um, yes?! The student on the phone requests urgent medical assistance.

“You’re telling me your friend in Kirkland needs an ambulance. Is that what you’re telling me?”

Then in another video, one of the protesters—in a keffiyeh and a mask—approaches the police and an administrator, who was indeed in a sweater vest, demanding to know WHAT. WILL. HAPPEN. to her friend, should she leave the sit-in to change the tampon in question. The adults calmly explain that she won’t be arrested if she leaves the building. But can they confirm that she will never be arrested, ever?!

“She does not feel safe,” someone says off-screen, punctuating it with claps.

Hundreds of law enforcement officers are massed on the campus in preparation to clear out a pro-Palestinian protest camp. Police in tactical gear filed in from later afternoon on Wednesday, filling a square adjacent to the complex of tents occupied by throngs of demonstrators.

We are all being manipulated dozens of times a day. From advertising, the media, politics, friends, and family. I try to take everything with a grain a salt but it’s very challenging and exhausting. What are some examples of you being manipulated probably without you knowing until it’s too late? Are you a good manipulator?

With the presidential election six months away it’s only going to get worse. Trump, unfortunately, is a master manipulator. Deny, deny, deny. Never apologize. Repeat ad nauseam (WITCH-HUNT, RIGGED ELECTION) and his followers fall right into line. I will never understand people, whose fathers and grandfathers fought facists in WW2, have no problem with Trump and his dictatorship fantasies.

While I used Trump as an example, I want to know what defenses one can put up to try to make right decisions when choosing a candidate, buying a car, choosing shampoo. One can do research but I’m sure what comes up is written by people who want to influence you to buy their product, vote for their candidate, or think their way. It seems hopeless.

This long interview with her in the NYTimes is mostly awful. She feels she's been so burned by social media that she is incredibly cagey and tries not go vie anything away (in which case you wonder, why even do the interview?).

My go-to is the bloated, barely conscious, Britney Spears at the 2007 VMA Awards. So many things wrong here: The exposed hair extensions, the ill-fitting bra and panties, the obvious lip-syncing(as usual), stiff dancing, and the stone faced celebrities in the audience. Still her most talked-about performance, but not in a good way.

William Remington Moses was born on November 17, 1959 in Los Angeles, California. He is the son of Marian McCargo, an actress and tennis star, and Richard Cantrell Moses, an advertising executive. His parents divorced when he was just a toddler. His mother would go on to get remarried to Republican Congressman Alphonzo E. Bell Jr. in 1970. Congressman Bell adopted William and his two brothers so they were legally his own children too.

He was a star athlete in school and after high school he attended Wesleyan University briefly before dropping out after meeting an agent who convinced Moses to have a change of heart. Moses never had any interest in acting until meeting the agent. Moses was almost immediately cast in a Sprite commercial. After that he was cast in his first film, Choices (also Demi Moore’s first film). Shortly after making Choices, he would land a role that would change his life and be his big break, Falcon Crest. He was asked to read for the role of “Cole Gioberti” and won the role, a role he would play for 6 seasons before leaving.

In 1988 he co-starred with Julia Roberts in Mystic Pizza and then in 1989 he began a string of Perry Mason TV movies series. He would make 17 Perry Mason TV movies from 1989 to 1993 playing an attorney who worked with the title character. After the death of Raymond Burr he would continue to play his character in 4 more tv movies, in 1994 and 1995. In 1992 he would have a recurring role on Melrose Place for 11 episodes. In 1997 he starred in the series Fame L.A., which got canceled fast. He also continued doing guest roles throughout the 90s and 00s in numerous shows, like Touched by an Angel, JAG, LA Doctors, Ally McBeal, Crossing Jordan, Seventh Heaven, NCIS, Cold Case, Tru Calling, CSI: Miami, Bones, Ghost Whisperer, Without a Trace, Castle, Big Love and numerous others.

He had numerous other roles in some small films and tv movies, and from 2005-2008 he starred in nine of the Jane Doe series of TV films as Jack Davis. In November 2022 he joined the cast of General Hospital as Jeff Webber.

While starring on “Falcon Crest” he would also do numerous guest appearances on other shows, such as Fantasy Island, The Love Boat, Hotel, and Battle of the Network Stars, with the latter being where he met Tracy Nelson (daughter of Ricky Nelson and Kristin Harmon) and would begin dating. They married in 1987 and divorced in 1997. They had two daughters together. In 2000 he remarried.

Columbia University faculty say they are “horrified” by Tuesday night’s arrests of students by New York police following the occupation of an academic building, Hamilton Hall, by students protesting for the university to divest from Israel.

Just after 9.30pm on Tuesday night, NYPD buses parked outside the hall were filled with arrested students who were transported away from campus.

Bassam Khawaja, a lecturer at Columbia law school, said on Wednesday that he was “horrified to see Columbia invite police onto our campus for the second time this month to arrest our students”.

“Columbia has chosen escalation at every turn here, with disastrous results,” Khawaja said. “The administration said that the protests were a disruption and presented safety risks, but it is the administration itself that has disrupted campus life by locking us out, relocating or postponing students’ exams, bringing in police to arrest students, and inviting police to remain on campus for the next two weeks until graduation.”

What exactly happened between Rosie O'Donnell and Boy George back in 2003-04 ? She invested $10M in a Broadway musical production of BG's "Taboo", which bombed at the box office and lasted two months (November - January). She lost every penny. He blamed her for the failure, she blamed him and it ended their friendship. O'Donnell said (when it closed) she intended to bring it back in the future (she hasn't).

Does anyone have any stories of what went on back then ? Any 'behind the curtain' tea to spill ? Did anyone here see the show ? Was it as bad as the reviews said it was ?

Here's an interview she did on 'The View' before it opened. She was very excited about the production and her new BFF Boy George.

“ Back in the day, this wealthy executive (#1) used to scout for "talent." It is not unlike what this former medical professional did when he spotted this very young model (#2) who would later be an Oscar winner that all of you know. He tried to recoup the money he gave her after she became famous and even went to court about it. Someone should ask her about it on her next press tour.

Anyway, #2 found someone who would later become a permanent A list model. (#3). He pumped tons of money into her career and to get her spotted. Mostly, though he was doing it for the sex. #3 hated being a model though and just wanted to be a trad wife. For several years, she begged #1 to marry her. He finally broke down and did so and our model settled into becoming a housewife. She gained 40 pounds but then decided she didn't like being that overweight. To lose the weight she developed an eating disorder and was soon back to her modeling weight. She decided that if she was going to be that thin, she might as well go back to modeling and soon was the highest paid model in the world. She also decided there were plenty of other fish in the sea, including an A list pro athlete (#4) which she kept very quiet and then the new love of her life who was A list (#5) in her industry and that affair was noisy to the point she had to split with #1.

When our Housewife started cheating on her husband, he couldn't handle it. He started doing drugs heavily and was spending a fortune on cocaine. His habit was so extensive that he even got caught smuggling it while traveling overseas and was thrown in jail for a couple of months. Our Housewife felt awful because she felt she was responsible and flew to him where he was imprisoned and when he was released, flew back to the US with him. She only stayed with him a week or two before she was back with the A lister in her industry who she couldn't stop seeing.

Our Housewife ended up getting a huge modeling contract. Her husband decided to start a new chapter in his life and bought his way into movie directing by throwing money at people who wanted to get movies made. He ended up directing a handful of movies, most of which I am guessing you have seen. Our Housewife was openly flaunting her boyfriend now, so her husband started dating his own succession of new women including a model who was on the cover of Vogue four times. The press could not stop talking about our married couple and the husband finally filed for divorce. Unlike our Housewife, it was the only time he ever married.

Shortly after our Housewife divorced, she rushed to the altar to marry the A lister in his field. By this time our Housewife was a coke fiend and it shouldn't be a shocker that her husband was too or that all their friends were or that there was free coke for all at their wedding reception. For the next year, he was off doing his A list thing while our Housewife continued to work, but also continued to do a lot of coke. It was judged that she probably did more coke than anyone else in the world at the time because she was getting it for free whenever she would sleep with someone and she could afford to pay for it too. There was no one she wouldn't sleep with if coke was involved. This of course made her husband less than thrilled and he decided to end things with his wife after barely a year of marriage. He publicly discussed her affairs and her coke use and she retaliated by burning all of his clothes. So, she decided to move on and ended up hooking up and then living with a new guy while she was still married. That is for part four though.“

I realize she’s only a celebrity’s spouse, but how has this woman’s zany life and personality escaped the shocking gaze of gays on here? She’s got some color in her past, and some batshit ideas.

Some tidbits about her life that should make her a DL icon:

- Real Name: Nina Sklar

- Founded a charity for used baby accessories after having her first kid and realizing (all on her own, she says) that baby stuff can easily be donated to secondhand users

- Dated Jerry only months after marrying some other dude (who lacked syndication money)

- Hired a ghostwriter to pen a series of cookbooks on hiding vegetables in children’s meals

- Endured a messy lawsuit over said cookbooks, including an episode where Jerry defended Jessica on national TV by calling the accuser a serial killer

Doesn’t she at least deserve a Real Housewives slot?

“I’m doing my job,” he told her. “You say you’re a D.A.?”

“I am the D.A.,” she replied, before getting her badge out of her handbag and showing it to him.

“If you give me a traffic ticket, that’s fine,” she said. “I’m the one who prosecutes it.”"

An alleged confrontation between Ryan Reynolds and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is being detailed in new reports that surfaced Tuesday.

While filming the 2021 Netflix film “Red Notice,” the actors reportedly had a “huge fight” over Johnson’s repeated tardiness to set, according to sources who spoke with The Wrap.

With the chatter spreading on Tuesday, a representative for Amazon MGM Studios released a statement vouching for Johnson and his production company, Seven Bucks, which produced both “Red Notice” and the upcoming film “Red One.”

The statement followed allegations from production sources close to the situation, who told The Wrap that Johnson arrived as much as eight hours late to set some days, and the crew was occasionally forced to shoot around him.

While the studios have continued to sing Johnson’s praises, there have been additional rumblings of him being late to events as well as for production on “Red One.” Odd reports have also circulated of him peeing in water bottles and making assistants dispose of them instead of going to the restroom.

Oh, the fetal incubators will suffer and die? Well, that's just a wonderful side effect! - GOP voters

"Florida’s ban on most abortions after six weeks of pregnancy, before many women even know they are pregnant, went into effect Wednesday, and some doctors are concerned that women in the state will no longer have access to needed health care...The rules are affecting not just women who want therapeutic abortions, meaning procedures to terminate viable pregnancies because of personal choice, but also nonviable pregnancies for women who want to have babies.

“We’re coming in between them and their doctors and preventing them from getting care until it’s literally saving their lives, sometimes at the expense of their fertility,” Roberts said...prevented from performing an abortion on a nonviable pregnancy that they know may become deadly — such as when the fetus is missing organs or implanted outside the uterus — until it actually becomes deadly...

“We’re being told that we have to wait until the mother is septic to be able to intervene,” Roberts said...Besides the physical danger, there’s also the psychological trauma of having to carry a fetus that the mother knows will never be a healthy baby..."

The chatter around JoJo Siwa's "Karma" continues.

Since JoJo dropped her new single last week, the internet has been abuzz — for better or worse. She's already had to walk back a claim that she was the inventor of "gay pop."

There's also been speculation that she outright stole the song from Miley Cyrus, who allegedly recorded a demo of the song some time in the last decade, as well as pop singer Brit Smith.

Well, in a new interview with TMZ, JoJo set the record straight and is insistent she didn't steal the song — and her explanation makes a lot of sense.

"I did not steal anything," she said. "There's no such thing as stealing. What happens is people write songs, and then, they don't do anything with them. Then, a few years later, it makes sense for another artist."

JoJo went on to point out that "Karma" is, indeed, an old song. "I was pitched it," she said. "I loved it, was obsessed with it, so I grasped on to it. That's a very normal thing."

I can’t believe I have to explain what’s happening here, but here goes. Elite students of Ivy League schools have glamorized oppression so much that they have now reached role play status to satisfy their fantasies. Here, the students have appropriated the suffering of Gazans and are cosplaying as living through humanitarian crisis. In their American make-believe story where Ivy League infrastructure sets the scene, the students play Gazans and the school administration plays Israel.

Israel (the school) is blocking their “basic humanitarian aid” in this play, and if they don’t receive it soon, they will “die of thirst and starvation” (appropriating exact experiences of Gazans). They also destroy upper class buildings and claim them as “liberated” while the students repeat chants in zombie-like chorus, playing the roll of “freedom fighters” destroying Israeli infrastructure and claiming them freed. If I’m alive in a world where people don’t see the levels of perversion in this, I give up.

You don’t see this in lower tier schools from kids of lower socio-economic standing because they aren’t plagued with the guilt of privilege that they’re seeking to launder through Middle East role plays of feigned suffering. This is as first world dystopia as it gets.

Meanwhile, these Ivy League students who can have much more than a glass of water and as much food as their stomachs can take are commanding the attention of the media and the entire American audience, while actual Gazans who need humanitarian aid are ignored. I still have to pinch myself that people don’t see this.

The South African Geographical Names Council (SAGNC) has significantly changed the names of the country's geographic entities. The council aims to ensure that the names of places reflect the diverse cultures and languages of South Africa rather than remnants of colonial and apartheid pasts. The SAGNC was established by the South African Geographical Names Council Act of 1998, and since then, it has approved changes for 1,505 place names, including 85 towns.

This initiative has led to renaming various geographical locations such as towns, rivers, mountains, and streets. The council aims to make public spaces' names resonate more with the local inhabitants' identity and heritage. The SAGNC's efforts have significantly shifted towards a more inclusive and respectful naming system that celebrates the country's rich cultural diversity.

Some of the changes:

Port Elizabeth → Gqeberha

Morgan's Bay → Gxarha

Cradock → Nxuba

Uitenhage → Kariega

King Williamstown → Qonce

Queenstown → Komani

Grahamstown → Makhanda

Fort Beaufort → KwaMaqoma

Somerset East → KwaNojoli

Graaff-Reinet → Robert Sobkwe or Fred Hufkie

Adendorp → Kwa Mseki Bishop Limba

Aberdeen → Camdeboo

Nieu-Bethesda → Kwa Noheleni

"Make no mistake: This was a fashion wedding. For the ceremony, the grooms wore tailor-made suits by Loewe. Their satin lapels were customized with handmade brooches. Mr. Katz wore a marijuana leaf and Mr. Jacobson wore an anthurium, inspired by Loewe’s spring-summer 2023 collection. The anthurium broke when Mr. Jacobson hugged Mr. Katz too tightly at the end of the ceremony.

The couple later changed into botanical button-down shirts, also by Loewe, printed with artwork from Erwan Frotin.

“I wanted l-e-w-k-s, lewks,” Mr. Katz said."

It was the biggest night of Ryan Gosling’s career. At the 96th Annual Academy Awards on March 10, the Barbie star — who was up for a Best Supporting Actor trophy — brought the house down with a rousing rendition of “I’m Just Ken,” his hit (and Oscar-nominated) song from the movie’s soundtrack. A-listers like Margot Robbie and Emma Stone danced and sang along, while Hollywood heavyweights congratulated him after his history-making performance.

There was one person who wasn’t there to share in the magic of the moment: Ryan’s wife, Eva Mendes. “People were surprised Eva wasn’t by Ryan’s side,” a source exclusively tells In Touch. “It was a huge evening for him, and she was nowhere to be found.” While the actress, 50, was spotted backstage earlier, and later paid tribute to Ryan, 43, on Instagram, Eva’s glaring absence points to trouble in paradise for the couple of 13 years. The parents to Esmeralda, 9, and Amada, 7, are hanging on by a thread, the source says, as they struggle with jealousy and fights over expanding their family. “Ryan and Eva don’t like to go to events together, but the Oscars were different. It just goes to show how separate their lives are.”

Behind the scenes, Eva’s feeling resentful of Ryan, says the source. In 2012, she put acting on the back burner to focus on being a mother and wife. “Eva has given up a lot to support Ryan and be a hands-on mother to their two daughters,” says the source. Now, as his career continues to skyrocket, Eva is feeling insecure and having trust issues. “Ryan goes to set and enjoys his work and interacts with his colleagues, while she’s sitting home caring for their kids with no other social life.”

They recently spent six months in Australia while Ryan filmed his upcoming flick, The Fall Guy, with Emily Blunt. “Eva was cut off from her family and friends,” says the source, adding, “it created a lot of jealousy.” While Eva loves being so involved at home, it can be overwhelming. “It hasn’t been easy for her to be the primary parent as Ryan pursues so many acting roles,” explains the source. “She adores being a mother and supporting Ryan, but that doesn’t mean it’s not difficult at times.”

The cracks are starting to show publicly. On the night of the Oscars, the Hitch actress shared a post on Instagram of her posing backstage in the pink bedazzled blazer Ryan wore. The caption read, “You took Ken all the way to the Oscars, RG. Now come home, we need to put the kids to bed.” It was a strange choice of words, says the source. “It almost felt like she was nagging him. Couldn’t she have just let him enjoy the rest of the evening? It was a big night for him, and she’s pressuring him – on Instagram for everyone to see – to come home as soon as possible. It was a little bizarre.”

According to the source, Ryan sets the tone for the relationship. “It may not seem obvious, but he’s very dominant and dictates how they live their public life,” says the source. “He insists on their ultra-private image, and from the beginning he was the one who decided that they would not step out together.” The source says Ryan is more moody and serious than he lets on. “He lived in his own house — separate from Eva — until they had their first child. That kind of shows his true personality,” says the source.

It was his call to not announce they’d tied the knot, says the source. Eva referred to Ryan as her husband during an interview in 2022, but aside from that reference, they don’t publicly say they’re married. “Ryan is intensely private,” says the source, “so there’s a lot of mystery surrounding them as a couple. The fact that they seem to live separate lives only adds to the mystique.”

Any dicks that are bigger than 7 inches are scary to me, I once take a 9 inches before and it fucking HURTS, I didn't enjoy it all and I hate every second of it.

I prefer 5-6, you know the average cause like prostate is only 2 inches from the anus, I've enjoyed it better when I'm with men that has an average dick size.

Based on what they said, co-workers testimonies,gossip and "performance".

Dawson-bisexual- was cumming from fucking Lucas,Josh and few other guys, self-admitted to liking muscular bodies.

Sean(R.I.P)-bisexual- openely bisexual(probably due to family's mentality and gay father), came from fucking Zeb, Kenny(gross) and few others. Looked gay af.

Connor-straight- adamant about being straight, mechanical af, his dick is probably result of trimix, when his pervy wifey suggested having MMFs he declined. Married to woman.

Tom- bisexual- came from fucking Ellis and Josh, probably closet now and then. Married to woman.

Harper- bisexual- hooked up off camera with Quinn, self-identified bisexual, said you have to have at least some attraction to do gay porn. Married to woman.

Kellan- bisexual- openely bisexual, actually a gay guy who turned bisexual, hooked up with several costars both men and women, came from fucking Kent,Marc, Greyson and many others. Spill the tea on tiktok.

This is a big event in the history of American religion:

The United Methodist Church, one of the largest Protestant denominations in the U.S., has voted to repeal its ban on LGBTQ clergy as well as prohibitions on its' ministers from officiating at same-sex weddings.

Delegates overwhelmingly approved the changes, 692 to 51, during the United Methodist Church's General Conference.

The tone of the Charlotte meeting has been decidedly upbeat, in sharp contrast with the last, highly contentious global meeting back in 2019, when heated floor debates left many feeling hurt.

In fact, there was no floor debate over the clergy and marriages rules this time around. Rather, they were included on a consent agenda.

Shortly after the vote today in Charlotte, spontaneous celebrations erupted on the conference center floor. Hundreds of people began cheering and singing. One of the hymn lyrics distinguishable in the crowd was, "You are a child, you are a child of God."

How are you enjoying this series?

They showed it last night and it's on demand for the next few weeks. Any fans of this underrated masterpiece which was a maligned flop upon release? Bernadette Peters and Christopher walken should have scored Oscar nominations.

The New York City Police Department released a video showing a professional "protest consultant" who was seen on other social media videos instructing a mob of anti-Israel agitators as they took over Hamilton Hall at Columbia University overnight Monday.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams spoke about outside agitators during a press conference Tuesday evening.

"What should have been a peaceful protest, it has basically been co-opted by professional outside agitators. We were extremely cautious about releasing our intel information because our goal was to ensure the safety of the students, the faculty, and without destruction to property," Adams said. "We have sounded the alarm several times before about external actors who attempted to hijack this private protest."

Adams and members of his administration shared information about the outside actors who were creating "serious public safety issues" at the protests.

"These external actors are obviously not students, and their presence on campus is a violation of Columbia’s clearly stated policy," Adams said. "This group…is an outside agitator with a history of escalating a situation and trying to create chaos. It is our belief they are now actively co-opting what should be a peaceful gathering. This is to serve their own agenda. They are not here to promote peace or unity or allow a peaceful display of one's voice. They are here to create discord and divisiveness."

The mayor urged anyone involved to walk away "now."

During the press conference, police said some of the outside agitators have been known to the NYPD for years, adding that they have seen an escalation in tactics police believe are the result of guidance from outside agitators.

For example, police are seeing barricades being made out of furniture, cameras being destroyed, de-arresting tactics, property destruction, and signs being used to fortify and create shields.

Police said even though the tactics really became exposed last night at Columbia University, they expect it will continue across universities in New York City and across the country.

In a video shown during the press event, 63-year-old Lisa Fithian is seen watching a group of protesters chant anti-Israel slogans.

"We’re trying to document them being a- -holes," Lisa Fithian said to the camera person. "You’re right. They are being a - -holes."

Fithian is a professional "protest consultant" who has been arrested over 80 times, Laura Ingraham of "The Ingraham Angle" said on her show Tuesday night.

Fithian has reportedly participated in protests on climate change, Occupy Wall Street, and now, the Free Palestine movement.

After midnight Tuesday, Fithian was seen on video instructing a mob of anti-Israel agitators as they took over an academic building at Columbia University.

"Some of the people involved are being paid money," Stoll said, explaining he authored an article for The Wall Street Journal recently about how these groups are advertising for fellows to be paid $3,000 to work eight hours a week for three months, on campuses across the U.S. "Some of the people who have been quite prominently in these protests have been paid fellows with hundreds of thousands of dollars from the Soros Open Society Foundation and the Rockefeller Brothers Fund.

"So, there’s big money behind these protests," Stoll added.

He also spoke about how many of the people at the anti-Israel protests taking place at campuses like Columbia University are the same people who attend Black Lives Matter protests, as well as anti-Trump protests.

"It’s the same people out protesting. I’ve seen them," Stoll said. "They just like to protest."

He compared it to people who go out on weekends to play sports or go to religious services.

"This is an activity for these people, and until the revolution is accomplished, they’re not going to stop, or else until they are in jail," he said.

He probably wishes he had stayed in Russia.

Beau de Mayo was fired after finishing two seasons, so they probably put up with his cray cray for as long as possible knowing they had a hit on their hands.

Or to be more specific, in the Hollywood Hills. The video:

I like them and I usually watch them whenever they are shown, but... Honorable mention: Gilda, Key Largo, Gene Kelly Trilogy, Imitation of Life (either one), The Long, Long Trailer...

I must admit, "Fantasia" is my all time favorite. I saw it as a kid and loved the cartoony experience with the dancing hoppos, elephants, ostriches and gators. Later, when I was stoned, I loved all of the flowing colors and incredible music. Even now, I appreciate all the different themes in the movie and, of course, the music.

Jerry Seinfeld says TV comedy is being hurt by "the extreme left and P.C. crap, and people worrying so much about offending other people."

“It used to be, you would go home at the end of the day, most people would go, ‘Oh, “Cheers” is on. Oh, “MASH” is on. Oh, “Mary Tyler Moore” is on. “All in the Family” is on.’ You just expected, ‘There’ll be some funny stuff we can watch on TV tonight.’ Well, guess what—where is it? This is the result of the extreme left and P.C. crap, and people worrying so much about offending other people...[comedy fans] are now going to see stand-up comics because we are not policed by anyone. The audience polices us. We know when we’re off track. We know instantly and we adjust to it instantly. But when you write a script and it goes into four or five different hands, committees, groups — 'Here’s our thought about this joke.' Well, that’s the end of your comedy.”

Here, it’s been pouring rain all day long. The streets outside my windows look like small rivers.

If I were to get inside a kayak, I’d probably be able to paddle all the way down the hill.

It's hard to believe that this international espionage thriller isn't doing better. You would think everyone would want to see Elisabeth Moss as a kick-ass action-adventure heroine & superspy!

[QUOTE]Officials are preparing plans for increased immigrants at the border. Several Democratic lawmakers have urged Biden not to revoke the policy, warning of a potentially massive influx once Title 42 is fully reversed.

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) expressed shocking indifference about who wields the gavel in the House of Representatives.

The fate of Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) could soon be put to a vote after Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) filed a motion to vacate the chair and is now threatening to force that vote. Greene is displeased with Johnson’s handling of the House in recent weeks, as he has shepherded through several short-term funding deals and foreign aid packages with Democratic support. Democratic leadership has said they would back Johnson in any attempt to remove him as speaker.

CNN’s Manu Raju spoke with lawmakers on Capitol Hill on Tuesday to get a sense of where matters stand. That included Boebert, who said it does not matter to her whether Johnson is speaker or if Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) were to ascend to the post.

I've been listening to Ike Eisenmann's podcast — he was the kid in nearly every Disney movie of the 1970s — and he interviews a lot of former child stars, who are interesting.

Ike says he loved his career, but admits his father was awful and his mother had to keep special care with the money he earned. Radames Pera (Kung Fu, Little House) was a full-on teen idol, but when he asked his mother for the keys to his bank account when he turned 18, she said the age was actually 21. At 21, he asked her about it and she said casually, "Oh, I spent it, darling." He ended up being a home stereo installer but seemed happy enough about it.

The latest one is with Claudia Lamb, who played Louise Lasser's daughter on Mary Hartman. She says her parents were physically abusive psychos who would hurt her when she didn't land jobs, and that Norman Lear and a couple of others on the set were lifelines. Her parents spent all her money too and she was looking for restaurant jobs after 15 straight years of working. Worse, her parents lied to the IRS about her salary and as an adult she feared she would face tax fraud charges.

Pamelyn Ferdin, Lisa Gerritsen, Moosie Drier, Kristy McNichol ... what are your memories of all the kids who seemed to work constantly for years and then basically vanished?

I’ve never had vaginal sex, only anal sex which feels great obvs.

Why are these men so fucking homophobic. Their teenage years were Studio 65 and disco and in their twenties they followed the Beastmaster Marc Singer. So I don't get why they still have that mental baggage of the Steve Dahl shitheads of the world. THEY KNOW BETTER. So why do they persist in being enablers of the right on this issue?

From MY SPACE in the early 2000s to the more recent GOOGLE+ : what happened to these social media platforms ? Tell us your stories - which platforms did you use before they went kerplunk ?

There was a point midway into the movie where I thought to myself, “this movie is fucking awesome”, and it is, for the most part.

The writing is strong and “tightly knitted”, as I like to call it. There aren’t tons of subplots etc like can happen with movies like this. There is one focus and the film remains focused on that from start to end, and that is these 3 character’s relationship.

Zendaya is a fucking force. I think she’s talented but she surprised me in this. She is manipulative and a boss bitch and bodyslams the role. Mike Faist and Josh O’Connor are both amazing as Art and Patrick, and their chemistry is off the charts. I personally LOVED Josh as Patrick. He was soooo good as the no-good asshole who women still feel drawn to, but he’s the guy you fuck, not marry. Art is the opposite. Very boring for Tashi and her lapdog, as opposed to Patrick who she gets into arguments with and goes head to head with her, which seems to turn her on. The score is brilliant. It’s a character of its own in this film.

The film is fun and energetic. There is so much energy you can feel it.

There is a scene where we finally meet Tashi in the past (the first time the boys see her play in person) that got me excited. When she walks out music starts bumping and it’s pure energy. Zendaya looked so beautiful in this. There are a few salacious scenes and some people in the theater reacted. You could hear “omg Zendaya!” like people were genuinely shocked to see her straddling a man. It was funny but makes sense as she has such a clean image and always plays teens.

There are two moments I disliked, one being the way the film ended. Just no. And two, the scene with Tashi and Patrick in the wind storm. I thought the scene was cool until it went all weird. But besides that, amazing.

There are a lot of homoerotic undertones in this from early in the film and I don’t see many straight men liking this unless with their girlfriends or cinephiles. That’s one of the things I liked about the film too. You could feel that atmosphere without actually seeing anything like that happen. It was interesting.

Honestly, I would give it a 4/5. It’s awesome but that ending was a no for me and it started to become too stylistic toward the end.

Cocksucker?

Legendary UK drag queen:

"Jason Sutton, most popularly known by his drag queen persona, Miss Jason, passed away on Monday, April 23, 2024. While the cause of his wasn't revealed, the news was shared with the public by his management Smash Talent. In their statement, Smash Talent referred to Miss Jason as an "incredible light" in the community.

“We are very saddened to hear that Jason has passed away this morning. Jason was an incredible light in our community with 32 years of entertaining us all, and it won’t be the same without him. Jason will never be forgotten. We love you and will miss you immensely. Our thoughts are with Terry Ward [his partner], his family and his friends at this time,” the statement added."

From Disney comedies to Hitchcock thrillers, she has been an instantly recognizable character actress since the 1950's. Then, in 1972, she was cast in a small little CBS sitcom opposite Bob Newhart, where she was nominated for the shows only two Emmys.

After The Bob Newhart Show, she was cast Leona Helmsley in The Queen of Mean, where she received another Emmy nominations but no win. After the Queen of Mean, she only made three films, included the acclaimed Spirited Away, before her death in 2008.

What is DL's opinion of Suzanne Pleshette?

I can't get it into my head why most people are against LGBT. In everyday life people express their disgust for them, but when they get sick and get help, it's not like they ask who gave it to them or if it was a member of the community that people refused help. Or when we need a complex professional surgery and we don't care what orientation surgeon does it. What do you think about that?

A woman whose face is covered in tattoos and piercings claims she was denied a job at TJ Maxx over her body art.

Not much is known about Tony or what happened to him after he stopped his nude modeling. He was gay and labeled himself as “versatile”, with brown hair, very dark brown eyes, tanned skin, 5’10 and 24 years old in 1985. He was active in 1985 and that’s it.

He loved the camera and loved showing off his body for it, especially his ass and hole.

Gee. When you start vaping at 15, you can expect to start aging prematurely in your twenties!

Anybody seen it? Seems to be one of the best reviewed new sitcom show. It's adapted from BBC . I have no idea what it's all about when I started watching but I quite enjoyed it so far. It's set in a B&B haunted by various ghosts - including a gay one and a hot yuppie guy. I think CBS might have hit show on its hand.

Well?

So many of my gay friends go into orgasm describing this bag, or those shoes. One of my closest friends just got an Hermes bag and it was all he could talk about the last time we had lunch. I enjoy nice things and have a reasonably comfortable lifestyle, but I have a hard time justifying $800 on a shirt or $5,000 on a bag. It seems the purpose of buying something like this is just to signal to the world that you can afford it. What about you, DL? Where do you like to shop?

The Biden administration is set to reclassify marijuana from a Schedule I to a Schedule III controlled substance, marking a significant shift in U.S. drug policy. This move would acknowledge marijuana’s potential medical benefits and reduce restrictions on its research and pharmaceutical use.

The Department of Health and Human Services supports this change, highlighting marijuana’s lower health risks compared to other controlled substances. The rescheduling could benefit the $34 billion cannabis industry by easing tax burdens and potentially reducing the black market.

However, some critics argue that it could lead to increased marketing targeted at children and ignore the risks associated with high-potency marijuana.

The decision is still subject to a public review period and potential congressional intervention.

any DL love for this one?

He’s done the same character for 30 years. How is he still employed?

I found him hot even with off putting gay voice and mole on his face. But he was a decent bottom and his high-voiced screaming was sometimes a turn on. What happened to him? I always assumed he was gay because how gay he looked but wouldn't be suprised if he pretends to be straight now.

Fifty years ago, on April 30, 1974, we lost one of the greatest actresses of all time - Agnes Moorehead. She died from uterine cancer (which was reportedly diagnoses in 1969) at the age of 73. She built a successful career which included radio, stage, movies and television. She is best known to television audiences for her role as 'Endora' in the hit series 'Bewitched' which ran from 1964 -72. Her last professional role was on the Broadway stage in the musical 'Gigi', which she starred as 'Aunt Alicia' from opening night in November, 1973 until she was forced to drop out in January, 1974 due to illness. When she died, she was survived by her mother - who lived to be 106 when she died in 1990.

Love ABC World News Tonight. But I notice some days David gives a mild weather day the top story lead (like yesterdays broadcast). NBC Nightly News lead with the Iran Bombing.

The staff hates Rob Marciano so clearly David is the one calling it with Rob. What is going on here? Anyone know?

He definitely surprised the crowd. In oversized cargo pants, a sweatshirt that swallowed his thin frame and a baseball cap pulled down low, Justin Bieber joined Tems for a song during her Coachella set in Indio, California, on April 14.

“He looked like he just stepped out of the audience,” a witness says of the singer, who has only performed sporadically since canceling his Justice tour after a viral infection caused partial face paralysis in June 2022. “It’s a good sign he felt comfortable enough to get ​on stage, and a lot of fans are hoping this means he’ll be making his music comeback soon.”

But judging by his erratic behavior offstage, they may have a while to wait. It’s been exactly one year since Justin regained mobility in his face, but “he’s still fragile and seemed checked-out all weekend,” a source says of the singer, who has a history of substance abuse and violent rages. “He finally got his health back, but now friends are worried that he’s spiraling again.”

The past few years have been a roller coaster.

“He has severe ups and downs,” says the source.

Justin, 30, has struggled with Lyme disease, depression and anger management, and has also admitted to daily use of alcohol, marijuana and “pretty heavy drugs” during his lowest points.

Let's make a list.

The saga continues

Work began on Bad Girls in December 1978, with the singer teaming up with Moroder and Bellotte once more. The sessions, which spanned four months, were prolific. Instead of following the usual album-making approach of writing, demoing, and then recording a final version, the team would come up with ideas for melodies and hooks, flesh them out into full songs and then hit the booth immediately to record them.

“As soon as I was done with the mix of one song, we went right in and recorded,” Moroder explained in the liner notes of Bad Girls’ deluxe reissue in 2003. “While I was recording Donna… Pete would be recording a basic track for another song. But we had our sounds; we were on a roll. Donna is a great artist, very easy to work with. She could complete two or three songs a day, easily, without straining her voice or getting tired.”

After just one week of release, it was certified platinum by the RIAA. It topped the Billboard 200 for six weeks and the R&B Albums chart for three. It also spawned two Billboard Hot 100 No.1 singles – “Hot Stuff” and the title track – and one No.2, “Dim All The Lights.” Summer became the first female artist to have two songs in the Top Three of the Hot 100 at one time. Later, the album was listed in Rolling Stone’s 50 greatest albums by women, with the publication saying that Summer “pull[ed] out all the stops for an album that sums up Seventies radio, from ladies-choice smooch jams to filthy funk.”

Some of CNN’s biggest liberal stars who were pushed out under previous leadership have been making their return on-air in recent weeks, marking another shift away from a mission to make the network less partisan.

It has been nearly one year since CNN’s parent company, Warner Bros. Discovery, canned the network’s beleaguered CEO Chris Licht, who was brought on to restore the journalistic credibility CNN had lost during the Trump era.

Among the changes Licht made were of personnel, particularly jettisoning some of the most anti-Trump voices who had helped redefine CNN as a news organization aligned with MSNBC, which has openly embraced its far-left stance.

However, at least three of them have crawled their way back on CNN’s airwaves.

Casting suggestions?

[quote]Multiple sources tell Page Six that Marciano was “banned” from Times Square Studios, where the show shoots daily, after he made a colleague feel uncomfortable last year. “He was found to have done something… that was improper, but he was punished for it, and they still haven’t let him return,” one insider told us.

[quote]“He made people feel uncomfortable. There was a period where there were some issues, [bold]a number of alarming events[/bold],” the second source claimed.

What could those alarming events be? Feel free to speculate wildly.

Please take my poll. As deeply as you can.

And add your own ideas.

He plays a troubled actor shooting a horror film. It's written and directed by Joshua Miller son of Jason Miller who played Father Karras in The Exorcist.

I’ve watched two episodes and I totally love it - some amazing actresses, fabulous costumes, very funny, some hot guys including Ricky Martin who looks great - but not as hot as the Tennis Pro, and very well done. It’s an instant camp classic!

Not much is known of him. He collaborated with independent film writer, director and producer Everett Lewis three times. His acting debut was in an independent horror flick titled “Hanging Heart” in 1989. After that he had a few credits in indie flicks up to 2002. No information exists of him. I just know I watched “Hanging Hearts” years ago and found it awful but couldn’t keep my eyes off him.

If you can find any information, please post it.

He is my vintage beefcake of the day

Describe its scent.

Write a haiku about it!

Here’s the thing though

This type of person would have never been elevated within an organic Black liberation or Palestinian liberation activist group, or even a traditional Left (workers rights) group

The conditions in which such a person would be elevated would have to be extremely specific. He/she/they could have only risen at an Ivy League school in New York City. (This wouldn’t fly at the University of Chicago or Georgetown). This is Frankenstein’s monster turning on its creator.

New Line Cinema has landed the Chris Farley biopic starring Paul Walter Hauser, in what Variety is told was a highly competitive situation.

The film, which has the blessing of the Farley family, will mark actor Josh Gad‘s directorial debut, with Lorne Michaels and Erin David producing via Broadway Video.

I’m River Phoenix 💀

Back in 2016, he was clean, working on new music etc, doing interviews (e.g. this Classic Pop feature). Now, he seems to rely on fan donations via Twitter, YouTube, Facebook and Instagram. There are various stories, including that his mother won the lottery and gave him £1M, which either he burned through or which his then-boyfriend Adam burned through, before revealing himself to have been an escort all along and leaving Marilyn once the money was used up. Then there were rumours Marilyn had gone back on the gear (maybe crack this time, rather than heroin), but was then doing a medicated detox and trying to get clean again. There are Instagram videos in recent years where he seems to be high as a kite. During the lottery period, there were pictures of flashy cars and luxury flats in London and Margate. Now he seems to be filming himself in a dingy room with damp walls, possibly the spare bedroom at his ailing mother's house.

So just when are we going to get the album that, according to the Classic Pop interview, was meant to be imminent? Will Marilyn rise again and become a world-dominating star?

The last David Tyler Muir thread maxed out, continue the discussion here!

She’s a social conservative.

Would she be cancelled today?

Eliot uses non-descriptive pronouns and is the child of Sting and Trudy Styler. Eliot also sings. I thought it was an interesting way to cast Freddie, but I found his performance a bit flat, especially after Philip Seymour Hoffman.

If she won't go away, at least she provides a lot of material.

Any of you eldergheys want to come with me? I've seen Squeeze twice and they're great in concert. And I'd love to see Boy George too, as long as he doesn't tie me to a radiator or something.

Next 2-3 years of an overdose.

I’m the wrinkles and salty tears.

Well, soccer to our North American friends.

A group of professional footballers in Germany are planning on coming as gay on the same day next month, according to a report.

Peiner Allgemeine Zeitung (PAZ) reports that the players will collectively come out on May 17 – the International Day Against Homophobia – as part of an initiative in Germany aimed at encouraging players and people working in football to come out.

The initiative has been set up by Marcus Urban, a former pro footballer who is gay.

The majority response from football fans has been one of anger... "No one cares", "Stop making football about politics" etc. Yet if no one cares, why are so many football fans pissed off about it? And why do they never admonish straight players for going public about their girlfriends and wives?!

What happened, here? The vast majority of uppity, tight-assed Karens/Kevins are Gen X. Is it their kids (Gen Z) driving them to this? Y'all were cool in the 90s with ripped jeans, plaid shirts, and MTV. Now, most of your are miserable, entitled, Trump-supporting (yes, the voting data supports this), harpies and your offspring have effectively ruined the internet for everyone. You can presently find them brainlessly destroying university property over a cause they know fuck-all about while donning red, black, white, and red face-paint.

Where did you go wrong with your kids, Gen X? Even you childless Gen X aunts and uncles of DL. Why is your sibling failing in this area?

Rant over.

I'm taking out my little black book right now, and there'll be some dirt dished tonight! What's the skinny, sis?

Apparently, this was shunted from Max to Netflix earlier this year. It's technically a spinoff of Doom Patrol, although the leads were recast. The comic it's based on is a Sandman spinoff, and Neil Gaiman has said one of the Endless (I assume Kirby Howell-Baptiste's Death, although he was vague) will show up.

Jayden Revri who plays Rowland (who was played by DL Icon Sebastian Croft on Doom Patrol) gives some baby gay vibes, and DL Icon Lukas Gage has a recurring role.

The Feds are reclassifying marijuana so smoke copious amounts of pot to celebrate honey!

John Lequizamo claimed on Live With Kelly and Whomever that he was in Madonna's Borderline video; a claim he's made for a few years now. Amazingly, he says he was 14 - chopping a full 9 years off his real age. Madonna fans are roasting him and internet sleuths have even now located the then-14 kid. Spoiler alert: his name is not John Lequizamo. So now John claims he's another person in the video.

What's going on? Is Leguizamo crazy or desperate or just a psychopath? And why? How is this important to his career?

I'd like to watch a few of these guys go into bloom!

Hi Jake,

My 20-year-old recently came out to me as homosexual. I had a feeling something was going on because he was hiding a lot from me, and I also found some “evidence” on his computer (including your website). In some ways, I’m relieved, because I knew something was off between us.

That said, I was raised in a family where homosexuality is highly discouraged. We are church people, and it’s challenging for me to divorce myself from that way of thinking. I’m trying my best, and learning from my son in the process. He tells me that he’s always felt this way, and that being gay is not his choice. While I’m still wrapping my head around it, I’m getting there.

One issue I struggle most with, however, is that it’s hard to imagine him having sexual relations with another man if he’s the submissive partner. I realize I might be overstepping, but it would help me come to terms with his new identity if at least I knew he was the masculine, dominant one. I don’t like thinking about him in another way.

Is it okay to tell my son that I accept him being gay, as long as he isn’t the passive one in the bedroom? I think that would make it easier for me to come to terms with all this.

Father Figure(ing things out)

He is the biggest movie star on the planet. Why all the DL hate?

In the era of Instagram and overexposure and every celebrity wanting to push products and be your best friend, who still has that Old Hollywood sense of mystery and intrigue about them? You know, the quality that made Garbo so iconic and enduring? Or is this type of star a relic from a bygone era, never to be seen again?

...and posts photos to prove it!

I am annoyed with Kristen Stewart, she is not a professional actress, her acting sucks. But I like Katy O’Brian, not bad for an aspiring actress.

For a few seconds I thought he was straight but then the way he turned and posed- gay gay gay.

He initially seems masculine but I detect a slight GAY drawl in his voice at times as well.

Does the datalounge thinks he's HOT or not ?

Watch the video or some of the video and comment.

Israeli filmmakers, publishers, producers, artists, curators and musicians all have the same message: We and our creative work are unwanted internationally

Nursing home?

I'm watching Down Home Fab and the female half has a nasal, slight vocal fry voice. She also bears a resemblance to Kim Kuntrashian and I'm pretty sure has lip fillers.

The Galveston girl has a nasal, loud booming voice well suited for bowling alleys and wrestling matches.

They all need voice training.

This was so much beloved when it came out, and made a star out of Laura Linney. Yet there was tons of drama backstage, and I never got the full story behind all of it.

Marcus d'Amico was the original Mouse Tolliver, and he brought enormous charm to the part (which the Canadian actor who succeeded him in the sequel did not, although that actor, Paul Hopkins, was objectively better looking). But he pissed off Armistead Maupin for reasons I never fully understood--was d'Amico not forthcoming about his sexuality--and I never understood what went on there.

Also, Chloe Webb was absolutely excellent as Mona Ramsey ("Crotch, crotch, crotch, crotch!") but she was also replaced for the sequel by the uncharismastic Nina Siemaszko. Why?

We are SO fucked.

I didn't know this was a possibility, but it makes sense. Basically, he had a hemorrhoid removed surgically which resulted in a large scar which obviously meant he did not have the same elasticity as before in that region and couldnt really relax the same. Anyway, he says now he is always tight and it's important for him to be fucked very regularly since it gets really painful to be fucked if it goes too long even just a day or so. And he loves really big dicks so it is an issue. No surprise there. He sees it as a consequence and a benefit. Being a top, this is something I never really gave much thought.

Steve Kmetko,talks about being OUT at E!

[quote]Lawyers for Hunter Biden plan to sue Fox News “imminently,” according to a letter sent to the network and obtained by NBC News. The letter, dated April 23, puts the Fox News Channel and Fox News Digital on notice for litigation claims arising from the network’s alleged “conspiracy and subsequent actions to defame Mr. Biden and paint him in a false light, the unlicensed commercial exploitation of his image, name, and likeness, and the unlawful publication of hacked intimate images of him.”

What the world?

Someone sic Officer Lesbian Nan onto the nonce.

The last time for me was at Costco in the winter of 2021 when some guy in front of me in the checkout line stared at me for a second then a moment later asked me the time- he was about 48 year old- it was a treat too. I even started a thread about it here on the datalounge.

I just don’t get Taylor Swift. There, I said it. It’s freeing to just … not care about something, isn’t it? When friends start to wax poetic about the Eras Tour or their favorite Taylor Swift song, I listen politely as if they were talking about professional darts or French cinema, and a feeling of peace washes over me.

However, the days of Taylor Swift as an ultimate cultural barometer may be waning. While Swift fans were thrilled with the release of her new double-length album (again, good for them!), critical reception was more mixed. Following the feverish media whirlwind of “The Eras Tour” and her impact on the NFL, people seem ready to talk about Swift in tones more tempered than slavering ardor or hardened, pointless hatred.

If you don’t love Taylor Swift, if you don’t hate her; if she is simply not something that affects your life whatsoever, it’s probably safe to come out now. Go, take your apathy, and be free.

For those DLers who use THC/Pot gummies, which brand(s) do you prefer?

The NY Post and Daily Mail, liars? No shit!

"Robert Savage says stories claiming he helped Hunter Biden in Los Angeles were based on fabricated text messages"

On repeat.

Poor good looking kid.

The family of Noah Presgrove, who was found dead along an Oklahoma highway, revealed that the teen had a caved-in skull, road rash on his hip, a gravel rash on his shoulder and multiple bruises. According to a friend's father who visited the scene, some of Noah's teeth were found scattered on the ground, with a pair of white shorts a few feet away.

Presgrove's cousin Ashley Chadwick and aunt Robyn Smith join NewsNation's "Banfield" to discuss.
