Should Broadway/theater have dress codes??

Should Broadway/theater have dress codes?? Bare minimum business casual. As someone who grew up poor I find it offensive when people say letting people in with sweatpants and pajama pants is "inclusive" of poor people and other demographics. Even poor people have a collar shirt and normal slacks.

A simple rule of no flip flops, pajama pants, sweatpants, etc. seems like common sense.

Woman dies after being bitten by pet hamster in Spain

[quote]A 38-year-old woman collapsed and died after being bitten by one of her children's pet hamsters. The mother-of-two collapsed while outside a health centre near her home in Spain while accompanied by her two children, a 17-year-old and an 11-year-old. Tragically, the woman was only a few feet from the front door of the medical centre when she collapsed. An autopsy is expected to be carried out to determine whether the hamster bite contributed to her death.

[quote]In rare cases, diseases such as rabies and bacterial infections can pass from hamsters to humans through a bite. The woman may have also had a severe allergy to animals, such as rodents, and the bite may have triggered a reaction. Although a rare occurrence, it has happened in the past.

Companies Are Quickly Firing Gen Z Employees

Companies are rapidly firing Gen Z employees just months after they hired them, according to a new report from Intelligent.com, but instead of putting the blame on G Z-ers, one expert told Newsweek whose fault it may really be.

The survey revealed that one in six businesses said they were hesitant to hire recent college graduates over concerns about how prepared they are for the work as well as their communication skills and professionalism.

And a whopping six in 10 employers had already fired college graduates who were hired in 2024. One in seven said they might refrain from hiring new college grads next year as well.

The survey looked at responses from nearly 1,000 business leaders in August, who revealed a strong skepticism from companies about how worthwhile Gen Z-ers are as employees.

"Many recent college graduates may struggle with entering the workforce for the first time as it can be a huge contrast from what they are used to throughout their education journey," Intelligent's Chief Education and Career Development Advisor Huy Nguyen said in the report.

"They are often unprepared for a less structured environment, workplace cultural dynamics, and the expectation of autonomous work. Although they may have some theoretical knowledge from college, they often lack the practical, real-world experience and soft skills required to succeed in the work environment."

And because Gen Z already has a stereotype of being lazy or uncooperative in the workplace, employers might be primed to find problems with the generation of workers that is adapting to full-time jobs for the first time.

"It can be easy for managers to buy into typical stereotypes of Gen Z and dismiss them entirely," Nguyen said. "However, companies have an equal responsibility to prepare recent graduates for their particular workplace and give them the best chance to succeed."

Across the board, 75 percent of companies reported that some or all of their recent college graduate hires were unsatisfactory.

JANNE PUHAKKA GAY EX-HOCKEY PLAYER DEAD AT 29

Former hockey pro Janne Puhakka -- Finland's first openly gay player -- was found shot to death on Sunday ... and police believe his partner was behind the killing.

Puhakka was only 29.

According to a report out of Finland, Janne was found in his Henttaa Espoo home ... where he lived with his partner, 66-year-old veterinarian Rolf Nordmo.

Police said the death was a homicide and suspected Nordmo was the shooter. He was arrested at the scene without incident.

The murder is still under investigation.

Puhakka -- who started playing hockey when he was six -- launched his major league career in 2015 and played for the Blues, Espoo United, and Rapaces de Gap.

He was also on the national team roster and won the bronze in the Under 18 World Championship in 2013.

Puhakka opened up about his sexuality after hanging up his skates, revealing he had concealed being gay to avoid scrutiny in the sports world.

Puhakka was the first ice hockey player in the Finnish major leagues to come out as gay. In 2022, he wrote a memoir, "Ulos Kopista."

"We send our sincere condolences to his family, his relatives and all his former teammates," the Rapaces de Gap team said in a statement.

"Presenting in the team during the 2017/2018 season, Janne marked the staff and his teammates with his kindness and team spirit."

Nordmo has not been convicted of a crime.

Ukrainian men dragged out of nightclubs by army recruiters

Ukrainian military recruiters launched targeted raids at restaurants, shopping centres and a rock concert over the weekend, detaining men and press-ganging them into the army.

“Get away from me!” one concertgoer shouted at three policemen as they pulled him towards a recruiting desk that had been set up on Friday outside the Palace of Sports in Kyiv, where Okean Elzy, a Ukrainian rock band, had been playing.

The man’s face contorted in fear as he strained against the policemen, video footage showed. Several women filmed the policemen on their smartphones, shouting: “Shame! Shame on you!”

Policemen also waited to intercept men at Goodwine, a nearby shopping centre, and Avalon, a popular restaurant, according to reports.

Eyewitnesses said the police checked all the men’s documents. Those who refused to show documents exempting them from military service, or whose documents were considered faulty, were dragged away.

Under Ukraine’s martial laws, all men between the ages of 25 and 60 are eligible for the army. Men between 18 and 60 are also banned from leaving the country.

Facing a severe shortage of soldiers, Ukraine reduced the mobilisation age to 25 from 27 and scrapped an “only partially eligible” loophole in April. Punishment was also stiffened for men who did not arrive at their summons. Ukraine has also followed Russia by mobilising its prison population.

Western intelligence analysts estimate Russian casualties to stand at more than 650,000 soldiers. The data for Ukraine’s war casualties have not been released, but its casualties are estimated to be a third or a quarter of Russia’s.

Fatigue and fear of being killed on frontlines have sapped Ukrainians’ enthusiasm for signing up to fight in a war that has now lasted for more than two and a half years.

Oleksandr Danylyuk, an associate fellow at the Royal United Services Institute in London, said: “Mobilisation has begun to be perceived as a one-way ticket, where the only way to end service is to die or become disabled.”

Some men are so desperate to escape mobilisation that they are risking their lives to break out of Ukraine.

However.

There are many, many, more I thought would go on to get great roles but didn’t. Sure, many have enviable careers that 99% of actors would kill for. But I expected more. That they would have more buzz surrounding them. Maybe that they would be more be bigger stars, or work consistently with world class or be competing with A-Listers for the highest quality shows or movies. Certainly, that they would have good roles in stuff that I like.

I nominate The Skeleton Key (2005) with Gena Rowlands, Kate Hudson, Goldie Hawn, John Hurt, and Peter Saarsgard.

I really like it, Hackman is so interesting as the richest man in the world but sort of plays it indifferently. Theresa Russell is stunning in certain scenes here, her eyes are beautiful. Rutger Hauer is also rather dishy in this with a look sort of reminiscent of Jude Law in the Talented Mr Ripley but slightly more masculine.

Over all I find this to be a great underrated movie. I have seen and loved most of Roeg’s work- my favourites being The Witches, Performance, Don’t Look Now and Walkabout.

Where have all the trannies gone?

Has anyone else noticed this? From approximately 2016 to 2023, it seemed as though the entire world revolved around trans people. The news media wouldn’t stop talking about them, everything was deemed “transphobic,” everyone and their mother was accused of transphobia, and the mainstream media would have a meltdown every time Dave Chappelle had a new special on Netflix. Even the Biden administration got on board with nonbinary passports and protecting “trans kids.“

And then 2024 rolled around and it all seemed to stop. No one is talking about trans people anymore. Pride month this year was almost nonexistent, and the Harris campaign is only mentioning gay people but not trans or nonbinary. I’m not sure if it’s just because the general public got tired of it, or if the Harris campaign is encouraging the news media to lay off the trans stuff so they don’t lose the election.

Man alleges he was "orally raped" by Diddy in the stockroom Macy's Herald Square store

Macy's covered up a violent 2008 sexual attack by Sean "Diddy" Combs at its flagship Herald Square, Manhattan store to protect a "multi-million-dollar" deal with Combs' clothing brand, Sean John, a new lawsuit alleges.

The worldwide department store chain was named as a defendant in one of at least six federal lawsuits, all alleging sexual assaults, filed against the hip-hop entrepreneur in Manhattan Monday.

The 19-page lawsuit is one of two filed Monday that names an outside company as a defendant beyond the companies belonging to Combs. It was filed on behalf of a "John Doe" who now lives in Ohio.

The plaintiff alleges that he was orally raped by Combs while working in the stockroom of the flagship store.

The plaintiff said he worked for Ecko, a rival clothing company to Combs' Sean John brand that was also carried by Macy's.

On the day of the attack, Combs entered into the stockroom with three armed bodyguards, the lawsuit says.

One or more of the guards struck him — he may have been pistol-whipped, he alleges — causing him to fall to his hands and knees, the lawsuit said.

The plaintiff says in the lawsuit that one or more of the bodyguards threatened to kill him.

The plaintiff said Combs demanded he perform oral sex on him, calling him by the name of the company he worked for, "Ecko." Combs proceeded to orally rape the plaintiff in what was described as a two-minute attack, according to the lawsuit.

The lawsuit alleges that after the assault, Combs grabbed armfuls of Sean John merchandise from the stockroom, went out onto the retail floor, and "began passing out merchandise to an adoring crowd, as if nothing had happened."

The lawsuit accuses Macy's of quickly covering up the incident.

The plaintiff reported it the same day to company security, but there was no follow-up, and he was soon barred from the store, the lawsuit alleges.

"Approximately three weeks later, Terry Lundgren, CEO of Macy's, pressured Ecko executives to fire plaintiff because Macy's had just signed a multi-million-dollar deal with Sean John Clothing," the suit says.

The plaintiff was eventually fired and told by Ecko that he could no longer live in his company-paid apartment in the city, the lawsuit says.

Ecko was not named as a defendant in the lawsuit. The company did not immediately return requests for comment from Business Insider after normal business hours on Monday.

The plaintiff "believes that the report of the assault was destroyed or otherwise purged from Macy's records, and no action was ever taken as a result of the report." He still "fears for his life," the lawsuit says.

Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis are back in the limelight for all the wrong reasons once again – this time his association with Sean "Diddy" Combs. The drama has them doubling down on plans to move away from Hollywood and build a new life in Europe instead, a source exclusively tells In Touch.

“Ashton’s so exasperated that once again he’s being dragged through the mud because of his past associations,” the insider says. “First it was Danny Masterson and now it’s Diddy, and it’s got him convinced that there are way better places out there to live than Hollywood. In his view the town is just a cesspool at this point.”

The couple – who met on the set of That ‘70s Show in the late 1990s – spent their summer in Europe, and even took their children to night two of Taylor Swift’s Eras tour at London’s Wembley Stadium in June.

“They had such a great time in Europe and in many ways the idea of moving there is topping their list right now because they figure that would be such a great place to live and raise their kids with a much more grounded lifestyle,” the source continues. “The only thing stopping them from making the move is work because they do still have a lot of business interests in the U.S. so the concern is that Europe may be too far away.”

If the pair decide that an international move is too drastic for their family, Ashton, 46, has his sights set on another location to call home.

“Northern California is very appealing to Ashton because he loves to be around all the tech entrepreneurs and it’s somewhere they could give their kids a more normal life. The bottom line is they want to take the kids out of Hollywood and raise them somewhere more rural and away from all the superficiality and backbiting,” the insider notes. “They’ve just had it with Hollywood and just going up to Montecito isn’t enough of a clean break, they’d like to get much further away.”

The A Lot Like Love actor came under fire following the September 16 arrest of Diddy on charges of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion. Old interview clips resurfaced of the Iowa native making light of her close relationship to the Bad Boys Records founder, 54.

“We became fast friends,” Ashton told host Sean Evans during a 2019 appearance on Hot Ones. “We used to just hang out and watch football together.”

In a separate resurfaced interview, Ashton laughed when asked about the depravity that went on at the infamous Diddy parties, saying, “I’ve got a lot I can’t tell.”

From the “I’ll Be Missing You” rapper’s perspective, he and Ashton became friends amid the latter’s success on MTV’s practical joke series Punk’d.

“I gave Ashton a call one day and said, ‘I heard you are going to punk me and I just don't think that's a good idea. If you do that, that will not end well for you, but I think we should work out a deal,’” the rapper recalled during a 2018 interview on The Late Late Show With James Corden.

What do you hate about American culture the most that you wish you could change?

For me it’s the following:

1. The selfishness. I wish we wanted to look out for each other, in the form of universal healthcare, fair wages, etc. Or voluntarily wearing masks during a pandemic without babbling about “muh freedoms.”

2. The over-regulation and the criminalization and over-enforcement of every stupid little thing. Shoplifting is a crime. Being in possession of alcohol in a national park shouldn’t be.

3. The prudishness and the hang ups with nudity. Rape and child molestation should be sex crimes worthy of sex offender registration. Public urination and paying for sex shouldn’t be. And nudity at the lake, at the beach, and on TV should be seen as natural as it is in Europe.

4. The guns!

Christopher Columbus probably Spanish and Jewish, study says

Famed explorer Christopher Columbus was likely Spanish and Jewish, according to a new genetic study conducted by Spanish scientists that aimed to shed light on a centuries-old mystery.

Scientists believe the explorer, whose expedition across the Atlantic in 1492 changed the course of world history, was probably born in western Europe, possibly in the city of Valencia.

They think he concealed his Jewish identity, or converted to Catholicism, to escape religious persecution.

The study of DNA contradicts the traditional theory, which many historians had questioned, that the explorer was an Italian from Genoa.

Columbus led an expedition backed by Spain's Catholic Monarchs seeking to establish a new route to Asia - but instead he reached the Caribbean.

His arrival there was the beginning of a period of European contact with the Americas, which would lead to conquest and settlement - and the deaths of many millions of indigenous people to diseases and war.

Countries have argued for years over the explorer's origin, with many claiming him as one of their own.

The Critic (2023)

Saw this today and have to say it’s pretty good. I did not read nor was I familiar with the book and I understand it deviates from the source material. But I do believe this is a nice little period drama.

It’s set in the 30s and McKellen is good as the rather sadistic theatre critic. Gemma Arterton was good too and I never really rated her before. DL fave Ben Barnes also makes his long awaited feature film comeback and is also pretty good in his role. Lesley Manville… need I say more, she’s a great as always.

The Secret History of Kimberly Guilfoyle’s Departure from Fox

In November, 2018, a young woman who had been one of Guilfoyle’s assistants at Fox News sent company executives a confidential, forty-two-page draft complaint that accused Guilfoyle of repeated sexual harassment, and demanded monetary relief. The document, which resulted in a multimillion-dollar out-of-court settlement...

Fox News forced her out in July, 2018—several years before her contract’s expiration date. At the time, she was a co-host of the political chat show “The Five.” Media reports suggested that she had been accused of workplace impropriety, including displaying lewd pictures of male genitalia to colleagues, but few additional details of misbehavior emerged. Guilfoyle publicly denied any wrongdoing, and last year a lawyer representing her told The New Yorker that “any suggestion” she had “engaged in misconduct at Fox is patently false.” But, as I reported at the time, shortly after Guilfoyle left her job, Fox secretly paid an undisclosed sum to the assistant, who no longer works at the company. Recently, two well-informed sources told me that Fox, in order to avoid going to trial, had agreed to pay the woman upward of four million dollars.

Shirley Temple 7Up. Keep or sell?

I went to Target yesterday to get some bottled water and Diet Orange Crush (yeah, I know, I'm trash.)

As I was putting two boxes in my cart, the soda stocking guy was beside me loading up six boxes of Shirley Temple 7Up, three diet, three regular.

He looked at me and said, "If you're interested in these, you better just grab them now. This is my third delivery, and people are snapping them up right away. They might wind up being worth something."

Again, as I am trash, I bought the three diets. A woman who was also standing there got the three regulars.

Trust me, I felt like an idiot, but whatever. I drank one when I got home. It's fine. Like a Cherry 7Up with a little extra sweetness, maybe. Nothing to be amazed about.

This morning, I get to work and people are talking about how this stuff is selling out fast and it's already on eBay for $35 for ten cans.

I paid $6.

One box open. Two sitting in my pantry.

Should I sell now or see what happens after Christmas when they plan on stopping production?

Diddy Accuser’s Attorney Says “High-Profile” Person Seen With Mogul in Pornographic Video

A lawyer for a new Sean “Diddy” Combs accuser claims that she’s been contacted about the “sale of one of the Diddy tapes,” specifically a pornographic video featuring the embattled hip-hop mogul, indicted last week on federal sex trafficking and racketeering charges, and someone “more high-profile” than the rapper and Bad Boy founder.

“There already have been tapes leaking around Hollywood being shopped around, … but one particular person contacted me to shop a particular video they were in possession of and to contact the person who was in the video to see if they were interested in purchasing the video before it became public knowledge,” Ariel Mitchell-Kidd said Friday on NewsNation’s Banfield. “I can tell the video was pornographic in nature. … This was in his Atlanta home, and it does seem the person isn’t looking into the video. To me, it doesn’t seem like that person knows they’re being videotaped.”

Mitchell-Kidd also said she was contacted a few weeks ago by a new client who claims Combs raped her in 2018 and filed a police report at the time.

“She called me and told me about her assault and her escape,” Mitchell-Kidd said. “She was at a friend’s house who had industry ties, and Diddy decided to come to the house.”

Mitchell-Kidd claims her client learned Combs was planning on sex trafficking her when he arrived.

“It led to her being served a drink. She started to feel woozy. Combs sexually assaulted her with an inanimate object,” Mitchell-Kidd said. “And then directed another gentleman to sexually assault her while he watched and pleasured himself.”

Mitchell-Kidd said her client was able to escape, running into the street, which was witnessed by a neighbor.

Kamala Harris Surprises Rallygoers With Damning Video Of Donald Trump

Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris slammed Republican nominee Donald Trump at her rally in Erie, Pennylania, using her rival’s own words.

Literally.

Harris made the rare move of airing footage of the former president on a big screen.

The vice president set it up by telling the audience: “After all these years we know who Donald Trump is. He is someone who will stop at nothing to claim power for himself. And you don’t have to take my word for it. I have said for a while now, watch his rallies, listen to his words, he tells us who he is and he tells us what he would do if he is elected president. So, here tonight, I will show you one example of Donald Trump’s world view and intentions.”

“Please roll the clip,” Harris said, drawing gasps from the crowd.

A montage of Trump fear mongering about the “enemies from within” and ranting that he may use the military to handle “radical left lunatics” if he wins back the White House then played.

The clip ended and the audience booed.

“So you heard his words coming from him,” said Harris.

Trump is “talking about that he considers anyone who doesn’t support him or who will not bend to his will, an enemy of our country,” she continued. “It’s a serious issue. He is saying that he would use the military to go after them. Think about this.”

“This is among the reasons I believe so strongly that a second Trump term would be a huge risk for America and dangerous,” she added. “Donald Trump is increasingly unstable and unhinged and he is out for unchecked power.”

Wall Street Journal: Economists Say Inflation, Deficits Will Be Higher Under Trump Than Harris

In WSJ survey, economists see Donald Trump’s plans as more inflationary by a larger margin than in July when President Biden was on the ticket.

"While neither Trump nor Harris has expressed much appetite for fiscal rectitude, 65% of economists see Trump’s proposed policies putting more upward pressure on the federal deficit, up from 51% in July. "

"the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget estimates Trump’s plans would widen federal budget deficits by $7.5 trillion over the next decade, more than twice the expected increase under Harris."

"Economists saw less daylight between the two candidates on overall economic growth: 45% said output would expand faster under Harris, 37% said the economy would grow faster under Trump, and 18% saw no material difference. "

Let’s Discuss Canadian Pacific Empress 2816

Vital Statistics about The Empress Locomotive Number: 2816 Class: H1b Builder: Montreal Locomotive Works Date built: December, 1930 Last revenue run: May 26, 1960 Type: Hudson Wheel arrangement: 4–6–4 Tractive effort: 45,300 lb (20,548 kg) Driving wheel diameter: 75 in (190.5 cm) Total operating weight (including tender): 643,000 lb (291,665 kg) Extreme length (including tender): 91 ft 2 in (27.8 metres) Extreme height: 15 ft 3 in (4.6 metres) Original cost: $116,555 Converted from coal to oil: March, 1999

Originally retired from revenue service in the 60s and preserved in the United States, in 1998 she was purchased by the Canadian Pacific for a steam program. The restoration took 2 years and cost roughly $3.5 million dollars (adjusted for inflation, this translates to almost $6 million as of today).

She recently completed a tour of the recently Merged Canadian Pacific Kansas City Southern Railway’s network from Calgary, Alberta, all the way to Mexico City. At 10,000 miles round trip, it is most likely the longest steam locomotive excursion in the world.

Out of 65 4-6-4 Hudson’s built for the CP, 2816 is one of 5 preserved, and the only non-streamlined hudson at that.

Reddit: Who is the rudest celeb you have ever met? What happened?

A great thread that had my reading for hours. Tommy Lee Jones and Jared Leto come up with unsurprising regularity. Some, like Shaq have severe swings in reactions, some calling him the greatest, most friendly and others hating him. Michael Jordan and Kobe are not favorites either. This is a one of the best posts I've ever read on Musk:

Elon Musk. He stayed at a mountain resort that I worked at in 2018 . He was luckily only there for 3 days but he was an utter terror the entire time he was there.

He refused to be checked in at the reception area and demanded a private check in at his cabin which is fine but we ask ahead of time so we can staff properly for the later arrivals.

He asked for the youngest female concierge on staff to be sent to the check in with nobody else for "security" reasons. I took the check in myself instead of sending the 19 year old and took the largest and oldest driver I could find for security reasons.

He wanted the personal cell phone numbers for all female concierge staff. I said that is against out policy and set him up with the resort app so he could contact whoever was on duty for a prompt answer.

He harassed every single female employee so nastily that by the time he had been there for 12 hours every department switched him to only male staff. He didn't tip any of the wait staff or guides for any activities. He booked a private horseback ride that a wrangler was brought in specially for the day and then refused to go because he didn't like the colors of any of the horses available , and he wanted to ride a really "butch and muscular" horse. He meant a draft horse, which we had for pulling wagons but none for riding.

He also had insane demands. He wanted a 80 year old beautiful ponderosa pine cut down because he didn't like how the light hit it at sunset. He wanted shock collars put on the squirrels to stop them from being too loud. And he wanted us to trap a grizzly bear and bring it to his cabin for a few hours so he could take pictures and study it.

He was the rudest, stupidest and most arrogant POS I have ever encountered.

I recommend trying the Walmart Pumpkin Sandwich Cookies this Fall season. I discovered them through a youtuber several years ago and they are very good. I have purchased them every year since.

A light whipped cream cheese frosting with a very slight hint of cinnamon between two soft, cakey pumpkin cookies.

The flavors are well balanced, not overpowering and not too weak. I've taken then to the Office and to get togethers and everyone has really liked them.

Something I read about a year ago is “you never have to fight for something that was meant to be yours.”

It reminded me of a time when I was trying to get into a certain university, and I couldn’t get in. I reapplied and kept fighting and trying to negotiate things and it didn’t work. Then I applied to another university and I got right in and had a wonderful experience.

I also used to be in a lousy relationship that I kept trying to make work. Finally after a long decline, a wonderful guy just walked into my life and we’ve been together 14 years.

Hurricane Milton Survivor Lt. Dan’s Internet Fame Torpedoed After Dropping N-Word

Internet admiration left just as easily as it came for Hurricane Milton survivor-turned viral sensation Lt. Dan after he dropped the N-word during a livestream.

Real name Joseph Malinowski, the 54-year-old Tampa, Florida, resident became an overnight celebrity after he had to have his 20-foot boat pulled back to shore by a kind citizen.

When Malinowski, a disabled veteran with one leg, said that he planned to ride out the storm in his boat with his worldly possessions a star was born, and social media users worried about his health and safety as the superstorm made landfall Oct. 10.

Fourteen deaths were recorded in the aftermath of the storm. However, Malinowski survived seemingly unscathed after taking shelter nearby. But in a video he posted Friday giving fans an update on his condition, things went awry.

Talking to the Kick social media platform, Malinowski claimed that he may have been tricked out of receiving money donated to him because of another TikTok user.

“If you want to get back into my good graces, you have to take time,” he said, adding, “’Cause once I cut you off, you’re done [N-word]. I’m sorry.”

Reactions to the clip ranged from disgust to disbelief.

“Lt dan only just got signed to kick and already dropped the N-word on stream🤣,” wrote one social media commentator.

Another added, “This generation of mine and Gen Z elevates the worst people, constantly. It’s deplorable. This loser Lt Dan just said the N word streaming. He’s a snake w/ other snakes in the grass. Hope he is ignored into oblivion.”

Antarctica is 'greening' at a dramatic rate

A portion of the world's iciest, coldest continent is "greening" at a dramatic rate because of global warming, scientists announced in a recent study. In fact, the research showed that vegetation cover across the Antarctic Peninsula has increased more than tenfold over the last four decades.

“The landscape is still almost entirely dominated by snow, ice and rock, with only a tiny fraction colonized by plant life," said study co-author Thomas Roland, from the University of Exeter in the U.K., in a statement.

“But that tiny fraction has grown dramatically – showing that even this vast and isolated ‘wilderness’ is being affected by anthropogenic (human-caused) climate change,” he said.

Greening on the Antarctic Peninsula increased from less than 1.1 square miles in 1986 to nearly 14.3 square miles in 2021.

The warmer Antarctica gets, the greener it gets: "Antarctica has experienced significant increases in temperature over the past 60 years," the study said. "With rates of warming highest in the West Antarctic and Antarctic Peninsula regions and occurring much faster than global average warming."

Specifically, temperatures on the peninsula have risen by more than 5 degrees Fahrenheit since 1950, a much bigger increase than seen elsewhere in the world, said the study, which was published in the journal Nature Geoscience.

And the Antarctic Peninsula is warming at a rate that exceeds the global average, with extreme heat events becoming increasingly frequent in the region, according to the study.

The research suggests the of greening in Antarctica will continue to increase

Study co-author Olly Bartlett, from the University of Hertfordshire, said: “Soil in Antarctica is mostly poor or non-existent, but this increase in plant life will add organic matter, and facilitate soil formation – potentially paving the way for other plants to grow. This raises the risk of non-native and invasive species arriving, possibly carried by tourists, scientists or other visitors to the continent.”

The new research used satellite images to determine that a greening trend across the Antarctic Peninsula is occuring and increasing.

The research is “really important," Jasmine Lee, a conservation scientist at the British Antarctic Survey in Cambridge, UK, told the journal Nature. Although other studies have found evidence that vegetation on the peninsula is changing in response to climate change, “this is the first study that’s taken a huge-scale approach to look at the entire region”, she told Nature.

The “phenomenal” rate of expansion of greenery, Roland told Nature, highlights "the unprecedented changes that humans are imposing on Earth’s climate."

Twat Boy Summer: Meet Mr. Olivia Rodrigo

Britain’s next leading man? Meet Louis Partridge, the young actor taking over fashion and film alike

He’s dating one of the world’s most famous popstars, he’s walked the runways for globally-revered designers, and he’s about to share the screen with Cate Blanchett – is Louis Partridge the new leading light of British cinema?

With his upcoming role in dynastic biopic House of Guinness, which chronicles the tragedies and triumphs of the family of Anglo-Irish billionaires, British actor Louis Partridge will need to get to grips with some of modern history’s most illustrious power couples. Think Lady Brigid Guinness marrying Prince Frederick of Prussia (they fell in love while she nursed wounds he sustained in a not-so regal tractor accident), or the relationship between the most swinging of sixties socialites, Tara Browne and the model Suki Poitier.

And while 21-year-old Louis has already proven himself to be quite the actor – holding his own alongside screen icons like Hugh Grant and Julie Walters in Paddington 2, or Bryan Cranston in Argyle – he may be able to draw from lived experience when he takes on the loves and losses of the Guinness family.

Trump’s niece says Musk now ‘owns’ ex-president: ‘He’s always been up for sale’

Donald Trump’s estranged niece is accusing the former president of having a “new owner” because of his increasingly close relationship with tech billionaire Elon Musk.

“Donald Trump has always been for sale,” Mary Trump wrote in a Substack post on Saturday.

“Given this decades-long pattern, it’s not surprising that the world’s richest fascist, South African jumping bean Elon Musk, would also be interested in purchasing a few shares in a man who is willing to sell whatever he can get his hands on —whether it’s steaks or American national security — because he values money more than anything,” she added.

For Musk, Mary Trump argued, the support is “a safe bet because he knows, if Donald is elected, he’ll do anything Musk wants him to do.”

Musk, who reportedly initially wanted to endorse Florida Governor Ron DeSantis in the 2024 election, has devoted considerable time and attention to supporting the Trump campaign of late.

Musk regularly touts Trump to his millions of followers on his social media platformX, and joined the former president at his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, earlier this month – an event which saw Trump return to the scene of the July assassination attempt for the first time.

Musk also founded a pro-Trump super PAC that’s reportedly spent around $80m supporting the former president. The PAC is one of the key organizations forming the backbone of the Trump campaign’s unorthodox get-out-the-vote strategy, which has relied unusually strongly on outside groups instead of more tightly controlled campaign efforts.

The group has resorted to eye-catching tactics, like paying potential voters to sign up for a petition expressing support for Trump-ian takes on issues like freedom of speech and the right to bear arms.

Trump, for his part, has welcomed the support with open arms, praising Musk as a genius and promising to appoint him to run a government commission presiding over massive spending cuts.

Such a position would put Musk in a highly unique and influential position, especiallly as a businessman whose firms like SpaceX have contracts worth hundreds of millions of dollars with the federal government.

The Trump campaign has also leaned on Musk during key moments in the campaign, reportedly successfully lobbying Musk’s X social network to prevent circulation of links leading to a reporter’s articles containing material that was hacked from the Trump campaign.

T.I., Tiny Win Whopping $71 Million Award at OMG Girlz Trial

Hip-hop mogul T.I. and his wife Tameka “Tiny” Harris scored a massive $71 million jury award Monday after winning their third court trial over claims toy titan MGA Entertainment violated the intellectual property rights of their teen pop group OMG Girlz with its wildly popular “L.O.L. Surprise! O.M.G.” line of dolls.

Jurors awarded the couple and their companies $17.9 million in real damages and a whopping $53.6 million in punitive damages following a three-week trial in a federal courtroom in Santa Ana, California.

“I mean, wow. They did more than I thought they would,” Tiny tells Rolling Stone after she reacted to the eye-popping award. “I would have been happy with whatever. They blessed us more than beyond. We wanted to thank the jurors so bad, but we didn’t get the opportunity.”

In a complex verdict read Monday afternoon, the jurors said 13 dolls among more than 30 at issue infringed on the trade dress and misappropriated the name, image, and likeness of the all-female band that T.I. and Tiny formed in 2009 with Tiny’s daughter Zonnique “Star” Pullins as a core member. A 14th doll violated the group’s trade dress while a 15th misappropriated the OMG Girlz’s name, image and likeness, the jury found.

“I think justice was served. I think it’s a testament to the relentlessness and resilience of my wife, daughter and nieces,’ T.I. tells Rolling Stone by phone, minutes after the verdict was read. “We’re just happy we were able to come out on top and fight for creatives and our intellectual property that large corporations seem to think is just public domain and free for all to come and grab and use.” He called the verdict a win for “the people who actually put hard work and effort into building and creating things from nothing.”

During the trial, MGA’s lawyer called the couple’s lawsuit a “money grab.” T.I. said he was happy the jury didn’t agree. “I think that was a bully tactic, trying to paint me as the bad guy when really, they were the [bad] ones,” he says. “They were the ones that came and ripped us off, and [they] expected us to not have the audacity to stand up and speak for ourselves. … That kind of condescension comes from when you’re not really in touch with the reality of culture after you’ve gone so long kind of having it your way and nobody really standing up and speaking up against you.”

Outside the courthouse, Tiny thanked her legal team, including John Keville, Chante Westmoreland, Robert Green, and B’Ivory LaMarr. “At the end of the day, the evidence showed [MGA] stole from us. They stole from our creation,” she tells Rolling Stone. “I’m glad we stuck with it. No one could tell me they did not steal from us.”

At trial, T.I. and Tiny alleged MGA marketed seven specific dolls with looks that copied the way the OMG Girlz appeared at “very specific public events” or in publicized photos. MGA denied the allegations. Its billionaire founder Isaac Larian testified that T.I., Tiny, and the three members of the OMG Girlz — Zonnique “Star” Pullins, Bahja “Beauty” Rodriguez, and Breaunna “Babydoll” Womack — played no role in the design of his dolls. He called them “extortionists.”

Pullins, Rodriguez, and Womack attended the trial and testified. They hugged in the hallway outside the courtroom after the verdict. “I’m so grateful and overwhelmed with joy,” Womack says. Pullins adds: “When the judge asked if we had a memorable trade dress and everyone raised their hands, I got so emotional. We all silently cried.”

Captain Lee Names Captain Sandy His ‘Least Favorite’ Below Deck Star: ‘I Don’t Like Her’

Captain Lee Rosbach is keeping up his relevancy by speaking about the hit reality TV series that made him famous. The face of Below Deck left in the middle of the tenth season and was replaced temporarily by Captain Sandy Yawn.

The event soured their professional relationship after Sandy fired Camille Lamb and failed to inform Lee. Also, both captains were commenting on the incident at the time. During a recent episode of his Nightcap tour, Captain Lee named Sandy as his least favorite on the Below Deck series, but he probably could have just as easily said, “No comment.”

Captain Lee said he “doesn’t have to like people to work with them”

A TikTok showed Lee answering the question to name his least favorite cast member.

“My least favorite? Captain Sandy,” Captain Lee said in the video. “And we all know why. I don’t like her. Normally I don’t have to like people to work with them, I can work with almost anyone. I don’t have to like them. But if they do their job, keyword, do your job. Do it properly and I can put up with almost anything. Don’t do your job, and then pretend to be something you’re not.”

The crowd gasped in response. Fans would know that Lee did not approve of how Sandy managed the yacht in his absence.

At the time that Camille’s termination was aired, Captain Lee tweeted, “I would have fired her. but prior to that I would have notified the Captain who I was [replacing] what I was doing and why, not after the fact.”

In February 2023, Sandy offered a response in the form of an interview with Us Weekly. She defended herself by saying she didn’t want to burden Lee while he was struggling with his health.

“He’s in the hospital. Who’s gonna call and say, ‘Can I fire Camille?’ Never in a million years would I do that,” Sandy said.

Clearly, this feud hasn’t resolved itself. And may never.

The coldest air in months is on the way for millions

A dramatic pattern shift will bring the chilliest air since spring to millions of people in the central and eastern United States this week, making areas that have struggled so far to shed lingering warmth feel more like November than October.

Extended periods of fall chill have been hard to come by for much of the country since the season began last month. But the combination of an expansive cold front and an upcoming surge of cold, Canadian air, will change that and temperatures could drop to 10 to 15 degrees below average by midweek.

The first aspect of this cooldown — a far-reaching cold front — began over the weekend. This cold front swept from the north-central US and will cross the eastern half of the US by late Monday, ushering in a true autumn chill for some along the way.

The coldest temperatures will remain in the Plains and Midwest Monday, before even chillier air out of Canada gets pushed much farther south.

High temperatures from the Midwest and Northeast to the South will be seasonably cool Monday but trend downward Tuesday. Tuesday could be the coldest day of the week in Chicago, where the high temperature could struggle to reach 50. Chicago hasn’t had a high in the 50s since April.

Temperatures will drop again on Wednesday for many areas outside the Midwest. Wednesday is likely to be the coolest day since spring for millions, and in many locations, it’ll feel more like late November than October.

“Truly fall-like weather is forecast … through the start of the weekend” farther south, the National Weather Service in Atlanta said Monday.

The high temperature in Washington, DC, on Wednesday could struggle to reach the mid-50s — 10 to 15 degrees lower than normal for mid-October.

Atlanta could struggle to break into the low 60s on Wednesday and remain in the 60s through Friday. The city hasn’t had a high temperature reading below 70 degrees since May and typically tops out around 75 degrees this time of year.

Wednesday will also be the chilliest day of the week for large portions of the Northeast, with highs in the 40s and 50s for many. With daytime temperatures this chilly, it leaves room for overnight temperatures to possibly dip below freezing.

“Frost and freeze conditions are probable for several nights and in many areas this week,” the National Weather Service in State College, Pennsylvania, warned Monday.

Freeze alerts are in effect through Tuesday morning for parts of Pennsylvania. More could be issued in the coming days for other parts of the Northeast and chillier spots of the mid-Atlantic.

BBC to air "Mr. Loverman": series about two elderly, closeted Caribbean men in London

Two men in their seventies who have carried on a secret affair since their teenage years in Antigua

The BBC and Fable Pictures (Hullraisers, Rocks, Wild Rose, Stan & Ollie) have released brand new pictures from Mr Loverman, the forthcoming eight-part drama series based on Booker prize winning author Bernardine Evaristo’s best-selling 2013 novel of the same name. The series will air this autumn on BBC iPlayer and BBC One.

The new pictures show Lennie James (Save Me, Line of Duty) as the exuberant protagonist Barrington Jedidiah Walker alongside three-time Olivier Award winner Sharon D Clarke (Doctor Who, Informer), who stars as Carmel Walker, Barrington’s wife of five decades. Ariyon Bakare (Life, His Dark Materials) plays Barrington’s best friend and soulmate, Morris De La Roux, while Tamara Lawrance (Get Millie Black, Time series two) and Sharlene Whyte (Small Axe, Stephen) star as Barrington and Carmel’s daughters, Maxine and Donna. Tahj Miles (Death in Paradise, Small Axe), will play Daniel, Donna’s son and Carmel and Barrington’s grandson.

Barrington Jedidiah Walker, Barry to his mates, is a seventy-four year old, Antiguan born, exuberant Hackney personality, renowned for his dapper taste and fondness for retro suits. Carmel, his wife of 50 years, senses that Barry has been cheating on her with other women. Little does she know what’s really going on: a secret, passionate affair with his best friend and soulmate, Morris.

Diddy Accused of Sexually Assaulting 16-Year-Old Boy

Two weeks after Houston lawyer Tony Buzbee said he would soon be representing at least 120 accusers against Sean “Diddy” Combs, the attorney filed his first six sexual assault complaints on Monday — including one from a man who claims he was a teen at the time of his encounter with the music mogul.

All six lawsuits, which were obtained by TheWrap, were filed in the Southern District of New York per the Victims of Gender-Motivated Violence Protection Act, with the allegations stemming from between 1995 and 2021. Buzbee is representing four John Does and two Jane Does in these cases.

One of the four anonymous male victims claims he was 16 years old when he was sexually assaulted at one of Combs’ White Parties in the Hamptons in 1998.

According to the then-teenage victim, he was invited to the party at Combs’ mansion by a mutual friend, where he bumped into the rapper (an apparent picture of the pair from the event in question is included in the legal documents). “Combs took an interest in John Doe” and they engaged in pleasant conversation about the entertainment industry, per the lawsuit.

“When John Doe admitted his voice was not great, Combs assured him that did not matter. Combs made clear that the only thing that mattered was having the right look for the industry, and with it, Combs could transform Doe — or anybody — into a star.”

However, “Combs abruptly told John Doe that he needed to drop his pants. John Doe, caught completely off guard, confusingly asked Combs to repeat himself. Combs made himself clear. He instructed John Doe to drop his pants and expose his penis so that Combs could inspect it, explaining it was a rite of passage and the route to becoming a star, and also as a way to prove himself,” the suit alleges.

“Out of fear, anxiety and the imbalanced power dynamic between himself and Combs, John Doe then dropped his pants and exposed his penis as Combs previously instructed,” it continues. “Combs moved closer and grabbed John Doe’s penis and genitals with his hand. He firmly cupped and held onto John Doe’s genitals for an extended period of time.

During this time, Combs moved his hand in such a fashion to manipulate John Doe’s genitals, squeezing and feeling them … Combs abruptly then let go of John Doe’s genitals and told him that his people would be in touch. Combs continued with his party as if nothing had happened, but for John Doe, everything had changed.”

“We will let the allegations in the filed complaints speak for themselves and will work to see that justice is done,” Buzbee shared in a statement to Rolling Stone. “We expect to be filing many more cases over the next several weeks naming Mr. Combs and others as defendants as we continue to gather evidence and prepare the filings.”

Meanwhile, Diddy’s attorney Erica Wolff issued the following statement to TMZ following Buzbee’s initial press conference: “As Mr. Combs’ legal team has emphasized, he cannot address every meritless allegation in what has become a reckless media circus. That said, Mr. Combs emphatically and categorically denies as false and defamatory any claim that he sexually abused anyone, including minors.

Mr. Buzbee has not yet filed a single case in any jurisdiction. Mr. Combs looks forward to proving his innocence and vindicating himself in court if and when claims are filed and served, where the truth will be established based on evidence, not speculation.”

York Theater artistic director shitcanned for "hurtful" diversity comments

I KNOW one of you bitches must know what he said that the NYT refused to print for whatever reason. How bad was it??

-------------

The longtime leader of the York Theater Company, a small New York nonprofit known for its emphasis on musical theater, is acknowledging making “hurtful” comments about diversity that he says prompted his abrupt departure from the organization.

James Morgan, who has served as producing artistic director of the York since 1979, and who has been with the company for 50 years, issued a letter on Monday saying that he had suffered a stroke in 2022, and attributed his behavior to that medical incident. “During a recent staff meeting, I responded to a colleague’s concerns about the diversity of our audiences in a way that was inappropriate and hurtful,” Morgan wrote in the letter. “The words came out — at a raised volume that has been one of the side effects of the stroke — differently than I intended them.”

The York is a niche company, founded in 1969, that operates out of a church on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. During fiscal 2023, it had an annual budget of $2.2 million, according to a filing with the Internal Revenue Service; Morgan was paid a salary of $95,000. On Friday at 5 p.m., the company issued a news release saying that Morgan had “resigned from his duties, effective immediately.” Jim Kierstead, the board’s president, raised the diversity issue in his statement in the news release, saying, “We will soon be announcing plans for a future filled with diversity, talent, and musical theater in order to continue our long legacy of supporting artists of all backgrounds.”

It quickly became clear that Morgan’s departure had been preceded by the resignation of Gerry McIntyre, the theater’s associate artistic director. In a resignation letter circulated to board members and posted on Facebook, McIntyre said he had raised concerns about a lack of audience diversity during a video meeting, and that Morgan “started to yell at me.” About one of the theater’s recent shows, he quoted Morgan as saying: “I want you to find anyone who would like this except this audience.” McIntyre said, “His comment immediately struck me as racist.” He added, “The tirade and venom was horrible.”

Neither McIntyre nor Morgan immediately responded to requests for comment, but in his letter, Morgan said: “There’s no question I was being defensive. I’ve tried to make diversity a consideration in everything we do — our programming, our outreach, our hiring, our everything. Were we late coming to the table? Yes. Could we — should we — have been doing more? Always. So, I am heartsick that the words that came out of my mouth reflected the exact opposite of how I feel.”

He added, “I’ve also learned that my aphasia, an after-effect of the stroke, has caused hurt and misunderstandings among the staff. I should have realized that sooner. Whether because of ego or stubbornness — or maybe just cluelessness — I didn’t. And I apologize.”

Ozempic is killing Christina Aguilera's sex drive!

Christina Aguilera loves her ultra skinny figure, but it’s caused a lull in her love life, according to an insider. The source exclusively tells Life & Style that her long suffering fiancé, Matthew Rutler, is tearing his hair out in frustration.

“Christina’s all about looking as sexy as she can these days. She’s constantly showing off her body and parading around in skin tight clothes,” the insider reveals. “Most people probably assume she’s got a hot sex life to go with her hot body, but it’s actually the total opposite.”

The source continues, “Apparently, she and Matt used to have a way better sex life, but these days it’s DOA because she’s just never in the mood. It’s not something that’s ever been an issue in their relationship before so of course Matt is blaming her drastic weight loss. Plus, although Christina denies taking Ozempic or any of the other weight loss drugs, decreased libido is one of the possible side effects so it’s not hard to put two and two together.”

However, according to the insider, the “Genie in a Bottle” hit maker, 43, “doesn’t seem to think it’s a problem.”

“She’s so caught up in looking good and all the stuff going on with her career, but it’s certainly doing a number on Matt. He feels like their connection’s just not the same as it used to be. He’s been complaining to friends and saying he wishes she’d gain some weight and start acting like herself again,” the source concludes.

The news of Matt’s concerns about their love life comes on the heels of fans worrying that Christina might be taking her weight loss too far.

“Christina has been losing weight for the past year and is feeling more confident than she has in ages,” a separate insider told Life & Style on Thursday, October 10. “Still, people are starting to wonder if perhaps she’s taking it too far. She looks smaller than she did in her teen years. It’s really shocking to see in-person.”

The “I Turn to You” singer has never addressed whether or not she’s used weight loss medication to shed some pounds, but the source said she feels “pressure to compete with the younger pop stars.”

However, when Christina sat down for an interview with Glamour in August, she explained that she didn’t want her children to obsess over their weight due to society’s often unrealistic standards similar to how she felt as a teen.

“Your kids trigger things in you that you don’t want them to go through, and it’s almost like you’re reliving this whole thing again,” the “Lady Marmalade” songstress told the outlet on August 15. “When you’re a teenager, you have a very different body than when you’re in your 20s. I started to fill out, and then that was unacceptable because it was like, ‘Oh, she’s getting thicker.’ Then I had industry people: ‘They liked your body and how you were as a skinny teenager.’”

As for the rumors about how she lost weight? Christina said she was past the point of worrying about what people whispered about.

“I have a maturity now where I just don’t give a f—k about your opinion,” the Burlesque star said. “I’m not going to take it on. It must be your responsibility to take up your space. Other people’s opinions of me are not my business.”

Bath and Body Works yanks their seasonal KKKlandles off their website

Whoops ! Heads will roll in the art department...

Bath and Body Works is pulling their new holiday candle off their website, just days after the candle's big launch on their social media for the shopping season. The new seasonal candle, 'Snowed In', were pulled because the artwork on the labels are being mistaken for KKK members and not a close-up of a cut-out paper snowflake, as intended. The outer edges of the snowflake are white and cone shaped, with two holes cut out near the center.

The backlash from customers was rather quick and spread across their social media. Once this was brought to the company's attention, the candles disappeared from the website with an apology.

“I have never seen a snowflake that looks like that,” one Instagram user commented.

“This wasn’t an accident,” said another.

“We apologize to anyone we’ve offended and are swiftly working to have this item removed and are evaluating our process going forward,” the Bath and Body Works spokesperson said.

Killer LAPD cop Stephanie Lazarus might get out of prison

A former Los Angeles police detective for years hid the truth about how she killed her ex's new wife. Now, she could go free.

The family of Sherri Rasmussen is outraged that a California board recommended that her killer is eligible for parole.

A former Los Angeles police detective was convicted of murdering her ex-boyfriend’s wife in 2012, more than two decades after Sherri Rasmussen was killed in her Southern California condo.

But last month parole officials concluded that Stephanie Lazarus, the former detective who was sentenced to 27 years to life in prison, is eligible for parole. And Rasmussen’s relatives are outraged that the woman who hid the truth about the murder and continued to work as a law enforcement officer for more than 20 years could go free.

Lazarus, now 63 and incarcerated southeast of Los Angeles, pleaded not guilty during her trial and had not publicly admitted to her role in the 1986 killing until a parole suitability hearing on Nov. 16, according to two relatives who attended the hearing.

Connie Rasmussen, Sherri Rasmussen’s older sister, said in her family's first interview about the decision that while Lazarus acknowledged killing Sherri during the hearing, she did not apologize to relatives and appeared to downplay the seriousness of the crime, saying that she hadn’t intended to kill Sherri when she went to the Van Nuys condo on Feb. 24, 1986.

Ella Emhoff Is Now Being Compared To Ivanka Trump

She didn’t ask to be the center of attention, but she now is. Kamala Harris’s step daughter Ella Emhoff is now being unfavorably compared to Ivanka Trump after her appearance at this year’s Democratic National Convention.

That’s because there are some critics out there who think Ella could have done a better job of representing herself or at least dressing the part on what might be her step mother’s most important moment of her political career.

One person even showed a side by side photo of Ella and Ivanka on X (formerly Twitter) and captioned it with, “One need only compare a photo of Ella Emhoff to Ivanka at the RNC to understand why it’s an issue.”

“If your children can’t look dignified in public, how can you be expected to effectively lead your constituents. It’s disorder all the way down.”

Another critic wrote, “There’s even no comparison. Even Trump’s granddaughter was beautiful and dressed impeccable on top of speaking very well for her age.””

“Exactly – everyone in the family is always well presented and looks respectful in public!”

Another critic wrote, “That’s what makes it bad – if she was 16 I might be more forgiving, but she’s 25 and still dressing and acting like a teenager.”

“Ivanka does look personable though, whereas Ella looks like she just got the wrong fast food order.”

Poisoned letters of reference

Have you ever got one or heard about one? I had a professor write a letter for me for grad school in art history and, when I held the envelope up to the light, I could read large parts. She wrote many compliments about how well-read I was and well-educated and she ended it “she lacks only an eye”. I didn’t realize how devastating that was when I was very young. Now I understand that that one sentence was horrific and basically said I had no taste. She was a Clement Greenberg clone and only liked Stuart Davis and Jack Bush, and denounced me because I didn’t care for them.

Despite all As and A+ from a very good school, I only got into one university out of the four I applied to.

What a fucking asshole she was. She acted completely normally about writing the letter so I would never have suspected a problem and that she was going to knife me. I wish she had said “I am afraid that I won’t give you a positive letter so look elsewhere.”

Jan Hooks Has Been Dead To Us Ten Years

April 23, 1957 - October 9, 2014

A shame we’ll never know more about her. She was a talented comic actor. Even Pauline Kael said so. But Jan was also a basket case. Kevin Nealon said she seemed a little lost even before her mother’s death in 1986. The death of her father, followed closely by the murder of Phil Hartman, seemed to send her into a spiral and 9/11 sealed the deal.

She spent the last years of her life living in a holler near Bearsville, NY. She had leukemia, went into remission and about 5 years later, was diagnosed with chemo-resistant neck cancer. She opted to forgo treatment and died in her brother’s care.

Jan shunned computers, showbiz, family, friends and her own health. She said if she were married she’d be in prison…kids, death row. Jan dated Nealon for a couple years, but he broke up with her after the first SNL season. She then lived with an artist for a few years. Who knows what happened with that. And her relationship with Phil Hartman has been the subject of rumors for decades, which were exacerbated by Brynn Hartman threatening Jan in letters never sent.

I think we only saw the edge of her talent. She just wanted live with her demons, not Hollywood or sobriety. In the end, that’s exactly what happened

FEMA relief crews in North Carolina going door-to-door, threatened with guns and rifles

As the nearly 65,000 residents of hard-hit Rutherford County, North Carolina, struggle to clear endless mud and debris left behind by Hurricane Helene, help has hit a roadblock.

Federal Emergency Management Agency crews in North Carolina were forced to relocate due to a reported armed threat against workers, first reported by The Washington Post.

An email sent by the U.S. Forest Service to federal responders in Rutherford County alerted them of an apparent standdown after National Guard troops reportedly encountered armed militia saying they were "hunting FEMA."

Out of an abundance of caution, FEMA said its disaster assistance teams will be stationed at fixed locations instead of going door-to-door, which has been the agency's common practice in the past.

One person was arrested in connection to the threat, CBS News confirmed on Monday.

"FEMA continues to support communities impacted by Helene and help survivors apply for assistance. For the safety of our dedicated staff and the disaster survivors we are helping, FEMA has made some operational adjustments. Disaster Recovery Centers will continue to be open as scheduled, survivors continue to register for assistance, and we continue to help the people of North Carolina with their recovery," FEMA said in a statement to CBS News.

Threats against FEMA workers hamper some hurricane aid operations in North Carolina

The Federal Emergency Management Agency temporarily halted some aid operations over the weekend in parts of western North Carolina impacted by Hurricane Helene because of threats targeting government workers, local officials said.

The threats caused FEMA employees to temporarily stop accepting in-person applications for federal assistance in some of North Carolina's mountain communities, according to a statement posted Sunday on social media by the Ashe County Emergency Management Department, which said FEMA employees would not be staffed in the towns of Lansing or Riverview.

"It is our understanding that all FEMA reps in NC were stood down due to threats occurring in some counties (not Ashe) but we have not received any official correspondence on this issue from FEMA," the post said. Later Sunday, the Ashe County Emergency Management Department said FEMA would begin accepting in-person applications for assistance on Monday.

Trump escalates rhetoric on outlawing political dissent and criticism

Donald Trump is ramping up his rhetoric depicting his political rivals and critics as criminals, while dropping a long trail of suggestions that he favors outlawing political speech that he deems misleading or challenges his claims to power.

In a speech Friday in Aurora, Colorado, the Republican presidential nominee blasted the immigration system and lobbed a rhetorical grenade at his Democratic rival, Vice President Kamala Harris.

“She’s a criminal. She’s a criminal,” said Trump, who was found guilty of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in his New York hush money trial. “She really is, if you think about it.”

It’s a pattern of messaging that has long been part of Trump’s stump speeches but has escalated significantly in his 2024 candidacy. In the final stretch to the Nov. 5 election, the former president has developed a tendency to claim that speech he disapproves of is illegal, even if it is protected by the First Amendment.

A questionable cut of a “60 Minutes” Harris interview? “Totally illegal,” Trump wrote on X, saying it makes Harris look better and that CBS should have its broadcast license revoked.

The Harris campaign editing headlines in paid Google ads? “Totally Illegal,” he wrote, vowing that Google “will pay a big price” for it.

Democrats are trying to “illegally hide” part of his statement calling on rioters to be peaceful on Jan. 6, he claimed this month.

In August, Trump told a crowd in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, that criticisms of judges who have ruled in alignment with him should be banned. “I believe it’s illegal what they do,” Trump said. “I believe they are playing the ref. They’re constantly criticizing our great — some of our greatest justices and a lot of great judges. … Playing the ref with our judges and our justices should be punishable by very serious fines and beyond that.”

[bold]‘This is out of the autocratic playbook’[/bold]

An expert who studies authoritarianism and fascism said Trump’s rhetoric about criminalizing dissent is familiar, and could carry serious implications for the country if he’s elected president.

“This is out of the autocratic playbook. As autocrats consolidate their power once they’re in office, anything that threatens their power, or exposes their corruption, or releases information that’s harmful to them in any way becomes illegal,” said Ruth Ben-Ghiat, a historian and professor at New York University who wrote the 2020 book “Strongmen: From Mussolini to the Present.”

“He’s actually rehearsing, in a sense, what he would be doing as head of state, which is what Orban does, Modi is doing, Putin has long done,” she said, referring to the leaders of Hungary, India and Russia, respectively. “Just as there’s a divide now because of this brainwashing about who is a patriot and who is a criminal about Jan. 6, right? In the same way, telling the truth in any area — journalists, scientists, even people like me, anybody who is engaged in objective inquiry, prosecutors, of course — they become criminal elements and they need to be shut down.”

Some Harris voters say Trump is channeling dictators.

“He reminds me of Hitler and the rise to power,” said Dan Geiger, a retired Pittsburgh resident. “The more he lies the more it’s accepted by his faithful followers.”

Trump has suggested investigations involving his conduct are illegitimate under the law and vowed revenge against the prosecutors who oversee them. He has also claimed, with no evidence, that President Joe Biden directed those prosecutions, even the state indictments he has no authority over.

Upon early revelations of his New York indictment, Trump said the prosecutor “ILLEGALLY LEAKED” it. And the probe into his 2016 campaign’s ties to Russia? “They illegally spied on my campaign.”

Kubrick daughter goes full MAGA

Add another cunt to the pile...

TO THOSE WHO THINK MY FATHER WOULDN’T HAVE WANTED #TRUMP TO USE FMJ FOOTAGE

Here are my thoughts: I agree in principle that an anti-war movie is incongruous with promoting the idea of a tough non-woke US military and thus war itself - however - these are very dangerous and strange times and thus using this footage is doubtless pure expedience.

Because I’m sure the irony of using FMJ footage is not lost on Trump or his team - Trump is always seeking to end wars and use peaceful methods. However, that’s primarily what FMJ is about, the shocking and complicated paradoxes of human nature.

And thus, on this tooth and claw planet, you need a very strong military - so I’m going to stick with the idea that FMJ footage was used primarily because of its powerful, realistic portrayal of boot camp, juxtaposed with the entirely demoralizing and inappropriate injection of WOKE ideology into the USA military. Which I agree with myself and which I’m certain my father would have agreed with.

Truthfully, I believe my father (who supported Reagan), would very much approve of saving America, indeed the world, from the highly destructive Globalist forces threatening to take over this planet. And if that footage from FMJ helps Trump make the point that the US military needs properly trained, super tough, focused, dedicated warriors, and not introduce the demoralizing effects of woke-ism, and attracting people to join up simply to have their sexual reassignments paid for, then Trump has my blessing.

Finally, knowing my father very well, I can assure you he had a profound grasp of how paradoxical human nature is! Which accounts for how at the same time he made anti-war films, he had a great passion for guns (self-defense not hunting) and he had quite a few!

My father had a great respect for life - his movies being unimpeachable evidence of his love for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness! So on that basis, I feel very confident he would be a Trump supporter and would forgive using FMJ incongruously, if it helps the cause of freedom!

Strictly Come Dancing 2024 (Series 22)

Strictly has just celebrated its 20th anniversary and the after much speculation it has been widely reported that Giovanni has SENSATIONALLY QUIT.

There's speculation about legal action from Amanda Abbington who felt bullied after pulling out and creating a DANCE DISASTER and Ranvir Singh and Laura Whitmore also had unhappy experiences on the show with Giovanni. There were also stories about his behaviour towards Faye Tozer and Michelle Visage.

There's a fine line between demanding excellence and just being an abusive twat and Giovanni has apparently crossed the line.

I wonder if Rose Ayling Ellis was different because she was always paired with a chaperone to translate?

Anyway if Giovanni does quit will the gurning ginger guy replace him or will they get a new pro in?

Celebrity wise it's Olympic year so expect a few Olympians. Tom Daley is a long standing target (just imagine Dustin's waxy face as he rubs crotches with Gorka) and the producers would be desperate for Laura Kenny although she's happy just being at home with her kids now. Maybe non lesbian lioness Steph Houghton who is retiring this summer?

GENERATIONAL: How Old Were You When You First Heard/Learned Curse Words? What Was The Source?

Did saying the word embolden you? Did that word or words become part of your vocabulary right then and there cause you knew it was taboo to say it? Did you learn those words as a child of the 40's 50s, 60s, 70s,80s, 90s, or this century?

Wedding help desperately needed!!!

DataLounge, I could BADLY use your assistance. Here's the deal: I’m getting married in a few months at a destination wedding in Costa Rica, and I 'm thrilled to have my four closest friends in the wedding. I'm a straight woman, but as a longtime queer ally, all of said friends are queer men! Sometimes I can feel myself getting too frantic about minute details that only I would care about, but all my "bridesmaids" have been incredibly patient and kind. I thought I just had the greatest friends in the world, but then I got a misdirected email from one bridesmaid to another. The email excerpted one of my mass emails to the other boys and mocked me relentlessly for being a "bridezilla"! I'm "too detail-oriented, too demanding and too self-centered about my wedding." It is obvious these are running jokes among the bridal party, and I am DEEPLY offended!!!

I doubt the writer has realized his mistake. Since then, I’ve been too furious to talk to any of them, and in my moments of greatest anxiety I’ve even considered postponing the wedding or telling them I can no longer afford a bridal party. Do you think I should confront them?

'Melania' by Melania Trump : A blame-dodging masterclass

Melania Trump’s eponymously titled memoir is a 180-page exercise in buck-passing and blame-dodging. The former US first lady blames staffers for plagiarizing Michelle Obama; repeatedly stresses her love for her husband despite professing to abhor lying liars who lie; and declares abortion a fundamental right, without pausing to consider Donald Trump’s role in attacking it via the US supreme court.

Melania is by no means an exhaustive read, but it does leave the reader asking why she has chosen to bare her soul just weeks before the election. Or whether Kamala Harris might more accurately channel her policy preferences than her husband, the Republican nominee yet again.

Many subjects are missing. Not surprisingly, Melania has nothing to say about other women in her husband’s life: E Jean Carroll (the woman Donald defamed and sexually assaulted); Stormy Daniels (the adult film star whose hush-money payments led to Donald’s criminal conviction); Karen McDougal (the former Playboy Playmate who also had an affair with Donald). There are less than a handful of passing references to Ivanka, Donald’s oldest daughter who he said he would have dated if she weren’t flesh and blood and who Melania is widely reported to loathe. Trump’s children by other women barely get a look-in. Melania does repeatedly say she loves her own son, Barron, and her parents too.

Michael Moore Dares Joe Biden to Use ‘Full Immunity’ in Last 100 Days as President

Michael Moore wants President Joe Biden to leave the White House a “hero.” According to the renowned filmmaker, the president ought to take advantage of “full immunity” and pass a “bucket list” of reforms in his last 100 days in office.

“With a simple stroke or two of your presidential pen, you can make life better for millions of people in ways you never would’ve dreamed possible,” Moore wrote on his Substack on Saturday.

Referencing the Supreme Court’s recent ruling on presidential immunity that provided sweeping protections for “official acts” made by sitting presidents—which has created judicial over Donald Trump’s efforts to subvert the 2020 election—Moore argued that Biden can now essentially govern however he wants while he remains in office.

“Some people are now calling you a ‘lame duck’ president—but then it occurred to me today: You’re not done. You’ve still got 100 days left in office! And the Supreme Court has just granted you super powers — AND immunity!” the film director continued.

Moore detailed a series of executive actions he said Biden should take before Jan. 20, 2025, claiming that the initiatives “already have the support of the majority of the American people.”

Moore’s “Bucket List for Scranton Joe” included 13 line items such as officially declaring the Equal Rights Amendment as “the 28th Amendment to the United States Constitution,” eliminating student and medical debt, banning spam text messaging, granting clemency for non-violent drug offenders, and pardoning Edward Snowden.

The Hollywood veteran also called on Biden to “free the hostages in Gaza, free the political prisoners in Israel and stop this slaughter,” warning that his presidential legacy risked being defined by ongoing violence and conflict in Israel and Palestine.

“You want to help people, Joe. That’s your legacy. That’s the real Joe Biden,” wrote Moore.

Fitzcarraldo (1982)

I watched the Werner Herzog- Klaus Kinski film Fitzcarraldo last night. An ambitious entrepreneur is determined to transport a steamship over the Andes mountains to access a rich rubber territory in the Amazon basin.

The production was troubled from the start:

Jason Robards was originally cast in the lead, but withdrew when he contracted dysentery after filming 40% of his scenes. Mick Jagger was also cast and filmed 40% of his scenes with Robards, but withdrew when Robards did. His character was cut from the film.

Several of the local tribesman were injured on set. A few died in the abysmal conditions. More were offended by the production and threated the cast and crew.

Klaus Kinski replaced Robards and was a terror on set. He would regularly get into fights with Herzog and other crew members. He even pissed off the otherwise unflappable Claudia Cardinale, who was as elegant and beautiful as ever in the film.

Victims of Communism memorial: more than half of the names were linked to Nazis

The Department of Canadian Heritage is being told that more than half of the 550 names on the Memorial to the Victims of Communism should be removed because of potential links to the Nazis or questions about affiliations with fascist groups, according to government records.

But concerns have been raised over the years by Jewish organizations and historians that names of eastern Europeans who collaborated with the Nazis in the Holocaust have been put forward in an attempt to whitewash their past.

"It has come to our attention that a number of entries that have been put forward for recognition may have been affiliated in some capacity to fascist and Nazi organizations," wrote Tristan-E. Landry, a deputy director at the department. "For example, some of proposed individuals were linked to the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists and its military, the Ukrainian Insurgent Army….and to a lesser extent with Baltic nationalist groups (i.e. members of the Latvian SS)."

Meghan McCain stands firm: no endorsement for either candidate

Meghan McCain stood firm on her refusal to offer an endorsement for the presidential election.

There is less than a month until former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris face off on Nov. 5. Meanwhile, McCain’s brother, Jimmy McCain, the youngest son of their father, the late Republican Arizona Sen. John McCain, endorsed Harris last month.

Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) posted a photo of himself with Jimmy McCain and Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) on X. As Harris’s running mate, Walz captioned the photo: “They are showing America what it means to put country first.”

“For all of you tweeting at me — yes, I am over here the last republican in the family. Albeit, it feels strange, everything is okay. There is no family drama,” Meghan McCain responded to the photo of her brother. “I won’t endorse Harris (or Trump) because I am still a principled conservative, like my Dad was his entire life.”

President Biden will travel to Florida to announce $600 million in hurricane recovery projects

President Joe Biden will travel on Sunday to Florida areas ravaged by the back-to-back hurricanes, and announce federal funding for projects to strengthen the electrical grid, according to the White House.

Biden will be touring St. Petersburg, one of the hardest hit Florida cities from Hurricane Milton last week, and reveal $612 million for six Department of Energy projects in the southeast.

Two of the projects are focused in Florida and provide a combined $94M in federal funds, according to the White House.

Gainesville Regional Utilities will use the funding to help mitigate the effects of increasingly extreme weather in north central Florida, "through storm hardening, as well as faster restoration through deployment of self-healing devices and tools that will enable more efficient and precise dispatching of field teams during outages," the White House said in a statement.

Switched Source, a private utility technology developer, will work with Florida Power and Light to deploy Phase-EQ, which "optimizes power flow in distribution circuits, will unlock over 200 MW of system capacity, and improve reliability on circuits serving communities that are most susceptible to prolonged outages," according to the White House.

"These investments are part of the president’s commitment to making long-term investments that protect, enhance, and upgrade our nation’s electric grid, especially in the face of extreme weather events," the White House said in a statement.

Hurricane Milton made landfall in Florida as a Category 3 storm on Wednesday evening. At least 16 people were killed in the storm and over a million remain without power.

Biden has spoken to numerous state and local officials, including Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who he said was "very cooperative." When asked if he would meet with DeSantis on Sunday, Biden said yes so long as the governor was available.

L.A.'s quake mystery: 2024 brings the most seismic activity in decades. Why now?

It's not your imagination: The ground beneath Southern California has been particularly unsteady as of late, with the region experiencing more moderate-sized earthquakes this year than it has in decades.

What precisely is fueling the sequence of shakers is not entirely clear, and officials warn that prior seismic activity does not necessarily mean more powerful temblors are imminent. But the series of modest shakers have many wondering what is going on.

"Earthquakes pop off around the state, and it's a little bit like popcorn that they hit — sometimes they bunch up for reasons that we don't understand," said Susan Hough, seismologist for the U.S. Geological Survey.

By the count of seismologist Lucy Jones, a Caltech research associate, Southern California has felt 15 independent seismic sequences this year, with at least one magnitude 4 or higher earthquake. That's the highest annual total in the last 65 years, surpassing the 13 seen in 1988.

The most recent — a magnitude 4 — struck before dawn Sunday near Ontario International Airport. Just in Ontario, one of the most populous cities in San Bernardino County, there have been five earthquakes of magnitude 3 or higher over the past month.

The Malibu area has been another hot spot. There was a magnitude 4.6 earthquake on Feb. 9, strong enough to toss items off a counter; and a magnitude 4.7 on Sept. 12 — startling enough that the city's mayor and his wife dove under their kitchen table.

Eastside L.A. was rattled by a magnitude 4.4 earthquake centered in El Sereno on Aug. 12 and a magnitude 3.4 on June 2.

A magnitude 5.2 earthquake, the strongest to strike the region in three years, shook Southern California on Aug. 6, with an epicenter northwest of the Grapevine. Another widely felt quake, magnitude 4.9, struck on July 29 about 13 miles northeast of Barstow.

The series of seismic disturbances has shaken the nerves of some Southern Californians — serving as an unpleasant reminder of the omnipresent threat of the Big One.

But experts caution that the latest quakes don't provide any additional clarity on the potential timing of such a cataclysm.

"Seismologists have spent decades trying to read the tea leaves to look for patterns. The seismic network was installed in Southern California 100 years ago because scientists thought that small earthquakes would show patterns before the big earthquakes happened. And that just didn't work out," Hough said.

One thing has been clear: "Nobody has found patterns that are statistically meaningful before big earthquakes happen," she said.

Video shows nearly 100 hungry raccoons − some allegedly aggressive – swarm a Washington state woman's home last week in broad daylight looking for their next meal.

The animals were captured on film after the resident from Kitsap County, across Puget Sound from Seattle, called 911 when the mammals surrounded her rural home preventing her from leaving the property, officials said.

In footage shared by the Kitsap County Sheriff's Office, a deputy is heard speaking to the unidentified woman who says the large numbers of raccoons began gathering in her wooded backyard about six weeks ago.

The woman, who lives a few miles north of Suquamish, told deputies she has been feeding raccoons on her property for more than 38 years, sheriff's office spokesman Kevin McCarty told the Kitsap Sun, part of the USA TODAY Network.

FAKE Lively has "had it" with being labeled the villain on every set!

Blake Lively couldn’t catch her breath this summer when her rumored feud with It Ends With Us director and co-star Justin Baldoni took on a life of its own. She was accused of taking over the project, along with her husband Ryan Reynolds, and it led to the cast taking sides in the very public debate.

Now that Lively will be promoting A Simple Favor 2 with Anna Kendrick in 2025, she’s reportedly ready to show a softer side to her personality. “Blake has now had the biggest direct hit of her career with It Ends With Us but she’s not going to let herself be permanently painted as the villain every project she does going forward,” an insider told Life & Style. “In fact, she is pushing back against that strongly and making sure her real allies know just how much they are valued.”

If you didn’t already know, Lively’s “mean-girl” reputation has been whispered about before. She and Kendrick reportedly didn’t get along on the set of the first film of the franchise in 2018. The TikTok account Celebrity Memoir Bookclub spoke with a studio insider who worked on the film and spilled some serious tea.

“They HATED each other,” comedian Claire Parker said in the video, via the Daily Mail. “The studio even had to have a talk with them about making it look like they liked each other on press tours because it was starting to get obvious. Anna in particular was really competitive with Blake and was constantly asking to make sure she got more promotion than Blake and even made us PHOTOSHOP HER CLEAVAGE in the Simple Favor poster to be as big (or bigger) than Blake’s.”

The Life & Style source noted that Lively and Kendrick “managed to put aside their personality differences” when they filmed earlier this year. Kendrick described the reunion as “lovely” to People on Oct. 11, but she was rather vague about their friendship. “She lives on the East Coast, I live on the West Coast, so we don’t get to see each other often,” Kendrick explained. “But it was lovely, and I think that those characters have such weird chemistry that it’s so fun to just get the gang back together. And it does feel a little bit like riding a bike.”

Let’s see how Kendrick and Lively handle their press tour ahead of the film’s release. Will it be frosty or friendly?

Will & Harper Is A Delight

Watched Will & Harper, a road trip documentary on Netflix about Will Ferrell and his former SNL writing partner who announced his transition via email a few years ago. It is so affirming, insightful, and full of affirming human kindness and the power of friendship. Lots of SNL icons being supportive, with a rollercoaster ride of funny and scary moments, shockingly positive affirmations from unlikely Red Staters , and the usual cruelty you'd expect from MAGAts as the pair road trip from New York to LA.

Will Ferrell really shines in this as a great friend and kind human, and Harper Lewis really emerges as a great ambassador for live and let live late in life transitioners.

Highly recommended.

NYC Bus System Is Completely Screwed Up

50% of riders of the bus system in NYC have long ago stopped paying the fares. And the MTA has turned a blind eye to enforcement, well maybe until now. Back during the pandemic they were encouraging people to board the busses by the rear doors (where there is no pay point), and now more and more people have decided they're not willing to go back to paying. The city is losing hundreds of millions of dollars a year in fares.

The first thing that needs to happen is the official(s) who decided to just let this ride for so long need to be fired.

Justin Bieber ‘Shut Himself Off From the World’ After Diddy’s Arrest: ‘People Are Genuinely Worried’

Justin Bieber is on the verge of a total collapse as he faces the shattering possibility that sordid details about his relationship with Sean "Diddy" Combs will soon be exposed for all the world to see, sources exclusively tell In Touch.

Insiders close to the 30-year-old "Stay" singer say he's "shut himself off from the world" as he wrestles with his disturbing past, when he was a fresh-faced 15-year-old trying to impress a music industry mogul whose alleged degenerate ways are only now coming to light.

"No one knows what's going on with Justin," says a member of his inner circle. "It's like he's fallen off the map since Diddy's arrest and all the sick details coming out. People are genuinely worried about him."

Sources say Justin — who recently became a dad for the first time with model wife Hailey Bieber — partied hard during Diddy's now-infamous "Freak Off" orgies.

"Dealing with that and being a new dad probably has him stressed as hell," says the insider.

Justin was just 13 in 2008 when he was signed to manager Scooter Braun and Usher's music label. Through Usher, he met Diddy, now 54, and became the rap impresario’s protégé.

As a recently unearthed video reveals, the two buddies spent a wild weekend together in 2009. In the video, the rapper alarmingly says, "Where we're hanging out and what we're doing, we can't really disclose, but it's definitely a 15-year-old's dream. I have been given custody of him. I don't have legal guardianship of him, but for the next 48 hours, he's with me, and we're gonna go full crazy."

It's long been rumored Diddy plied Justin with drugs and booze and brought him to clubs when he was underage. Justin himself has confessed he struggled with drug use as a young adult while he dealt with pain that nearly drove him to do the unthinkable.

"I think there were times when I was really, really suicidal, like man is this pain ever going to go away," he once shared.

Sources say Justin, who has seen his star cool considerably in recent years, is terrified details of those troubled times will be laid bare as Diddy faces sex trafficking and assault charges in what promises to be a sensational criminal trial.

Recent images of a gaunt Justin have raised new fears about his state of mind.

"I can only imagine the horrors he carries around with him," confides the insider. "And now he has to deal with all this stuff being dredged up, threatening his marriage and career. No one would be surprised if he has a complete breakdown!"

Gruff but compassionate are the only words I can think of to describe veteran American actor George C. Scott.

From the beginning he appeared in classic films such as Anatomy of a Murder, The Hustler, and Dr. Strangelove, but he catapulted to international stardom when he starred as the titular character in Franklin J. Schaffner's Patton, where he won the Oscar but told the Academy to " kindly lose my number." After Patton, he continued to appear in both critical and cult classics; The Hospital, Hardcore, The Changeling, Firestarter, A Christmas Carol, The Ryan White Story,12 Angry Men, and The Exorcist III.

When not working, he campaigned and advised his close friend and neighbor, Lowell Weicker.

‘The Toolbox Murders’ (1978)

I recently had a hard time remembering the name of a film I saw years ago on VHS after renting it from a video store. I knew it was from the 70s and a slasher and remember liking it. I finally remembered it was titled ‘The Toolbox Murders’. I saw it was available to stream on Pluto and Tubi so I rewatched it. It’s such an underrated slasher. It’s better than most modern slashers. Most old horror films and slasher filmed relied heavily on building a horrific and uncomfortable atmosphere while modern films rely on jump scares and gore (see: Terrifier).

This was actually good! Has anyone else watched it? I thoroughly enjoyed this one.

I see Tobe Hooper directed a remake in 2004 but I read it’s very different from the original. I will watch it though. That one had a sequel in 2013.

There was supposed to be a sequel for this one in 1986 or so but it got canceled.

Melania blasts Rosie in new book, claims Rosie inspired her “BeBest” grift

Melania Trump‘s memoir, appropriately titled Melania, drops today and in it she takes aim at a familiar target: Rosie O’Donnell.

The ex-FLOTUS writes about how, in 2016, a clip of then-10-year-old Barron Trump purportedly displaying “signs” of autism began circulating online, prompting many to question whether he was on the autism spectrum.

Among the people speculating was Rosie, who tweeted: “Barron Trump Autistic? If so — what an amazing opportunity to bring attention to the AUTISM epidemic.”

A backlash ensued and she later apologized and deleted the tweet then she put out a statement saying: “i feel trump is a clear and present danger. but this autism subject – had nothing to do with donald.”

We should note that Rosie’s child is neurodivergent. The comic has been an advocate for autism awareness for years and is currently producing a documentary about Guide Dogs of America’s program for autistic children.

In her book, Melania says she was “appalled” by the Rosie’s since-deleted tweet.

“I was appalled by such cruelty,” the ex-FLOTUS writes. “It was clear to me that she was not interested in raising awareness about autism. I felt that she was attacking my son because she didn’t like my husband.”

I hooked up with my former roommate’s younger brother last night!

I met him five years ago. I thought he was hot, but he had a girlfriend, so he seemed straight. Between being straight and also being 12 years younger than me, I didn’t think I’d have a shot with him, but I always thought he was cute.

Anyway, I would look for signs of gayness. The most I could see was that he was into bodybuilding, but not much signs after that. Still, I thought he seemed like the kind of guy who would be down for a boy-girl-boy threesome. I suspected he was an auto-androphilr, if nothing else.

Anyway, 2022, he got engaged with his girlfriend, and he ended up marrying her last year.

They finally separated earlier this year. I thought, “Hmmm, will he still be straight? Is he available?”

Anyway, a few months ago, my former roommate asked me if the brother could stay with me in my house temporarily (brother had been living with my former roommate and his girlfriend). I said of course because I figured it was an opportunity to see if I could hook up with him.

But my roommate told me that his brother had been seeing this 45 year-old woman. (I’m 43, the brother is 31). I thought, “Well, at least I’m younger than his current girlfriend.” The brother apparently liked this new girlfriend because she was skinnier than his wife had been (the wife had gotten fat and was not physically a match for him, a bodybuilder).

The brother showed up at my house two weeks ago. We were chatting, and he originated to me that he wasn’t entirely straight and his sexuality had been an issue in his marriage.

Anyway, last night, we were chatting again, and he invited me to go with him to a gay bar. So I went with him, we had drinks, kept chatting, are legs touching, but I wasn’t sure if he wanted to hook up or not.

Then we went home, into the living room, sat down on the couch, continued talking, and then finally, I leaned forward to kiss him and he was all over me!

We eventually got naked and made out in bed. I went down on him for a bit, but neither of us came.

He says he’s never had anal sex before (neither have I).

Today, apparently he’s out seeing his 45 year-old girlfriend.

My former roommate has no idea we’ve hooked up!

Richard Madden’s $300 million “Citadel” receives terrible reviews - will Hollywood finally sour on the Russo Bros.?

The Russos promised Hollywood (specifically streaming services) they would bring Marvel-sized magic to the small screen and sold streamers on the idea that they could create their own “cinematic universes” in which a shared story would exist over multiple entertainment programs.

Instead their brand has become synonymous with “formulaic”… “generic”… “derivative”… “cliched”… “boring”… “bland”… “cheap-looking”… and expensive

Their reputation has gotten so bad that many reviews for Chris Evans’s Apple turkey “Ghosted” actually pointed out that they were surprised it wasn’t a Russo Bros. movie.

Citadel had preemptively received a two season order due to peak streaming foolishness so Amazon is being forced to stick with this turkey for another year.

Obama tells Black men it’s ‘not acceptable’ to sit out election

Former President Barack Obama on Thursday admonished Black men who he believes have not adequately supported Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign, telling them it’s “not acceptable” to sit out this election and suggesting they might be reluctant to vote for Harris because she’s a woman.

The striking comments by Obama, made to a small group of voters in a surprise stop at a local Harris campaign office in Pittsburgh, were part of a more forceful campaign message delivered by the former president on Thursday as polls continue to show a neck-and-neck race. At a rally in the city later that evening, Obama issued some of his most searing public criticisms of his successor to date.

The lack of energy some see around Harris’ campaign, Obama told the group, “seems to be more pronounced with the brothers.”

“You’re thinking about sitting out or supporting somebody (in former president Donald Trump) who has a history of denigrating you, because you think that’s a sign of strength, because that’s what being a man is? Putting women down?” Obama said. “That’s not acceptable.”

The problem, he suggested, was less complicated than some are making it out to be – and that it often comes down to sexism.

“You’re coming up with all kinds of reasons and excuses, I’ve got a problem with that,” Obama said. “Because part of it makes me think – and I’m speaking to men directly – part of it makes me think that, well, you just aren’t feeling the idea of having a woman as president, and you’re coming up with other alternatives and other reasons for that.”

As CNN reported, Harris had been focused on turning out Black men even before she took over as the Democratic nominee, trying to get the enthusiasm there for President Joe Biden.

“The concern is that the couch is going to win,” one person close to the Harris team told CNN. “We need to make sure that Black men, Hispanic men, don’t sit on the couch. Because if they don’t vote at all. That’s (a) vote for him.”

In response to the Harris campaign’s struggle to recreate, in short order, the multiracial Biden coalition of 2020, campaign operatives and allies have been offering a similar directive to the Obama delivered in Pittsburgh, often privately working to make the case to voters in close-up, intimate spaces.

Last month in Milwaukee, Harris’ brother-in-law, Anthony West, quietly attended a local meeting of the NAACP – a technically nonpartisan group whose members are filled with influential, mostly Democratic state activists and organizers.

I’m curious to know - are there any registered Independents on DL?

When I registered to vote in high school at age 17 I registered as an independent. My thinking at the time as an idealist 17 year old was that I wanted to consider the issues and vote for who I truly thought was the best candidate regardless of political party. And then I ended up voting democrat in every election anyway. The first election I was old enough to vote in was 2000 and I hated Bush. I voted for Obama both times and then Hillary and Biden. I thought John McCain was a good man but his running mate was a dope.

Anyway, when I moved across the country I just registered as a democrat because at that point, in the era of Trump, I no longer really saw the point in being independent anymore.

‘Sugar,’ Starring Colin Farrell, Renewed for Season 2 at Apple TV+

The drama, which streamed in the spring, contained a big twist in its finale.

Apple TV+ wants another helping of Sugar.

The tech behemoth’s streaming service has picked up a second season of the drama, which stars Colin Farrell as the title character, Detective John Sugar. The first season followed John’s search for a missing woman — and revealed a big twist late in the season that helps set the stage for season two.

“It has been incredibly exciting to see audiences around the world embrace ‘Sugar,’ and we are thrilled to return for a second season,” executive producers Audrey Chon and Simon Kinberg said in a statement. “We’re so grateful to our partners at Apple for their support, our showrunner Sam Catlin, the brilliant Colin Farrell, and of course, our viewers. We can’t wait to get John Sugar back on the case.”

Added Matt Cherniss, head of programming for Apple TV+, “Since its premiere, audiences have been gripped by the mysteries and twists of Sugar, with an incredible performance by Colin Farrell at the center. Colin, Simon Kinberg, Audrey Chon and the entire team behind this series have brilliantly blended genres to create a compelling, can’t-miss series that keeps viewers guessing, and we cannot wait to see where Detective John Sugar finds himself in season two.”

The show’s first season premiered in April and concluded its eight-episode run on May 17. Season two, Apple says, will bring Sugar back to Los Angeles for another missing-person case while he continues to look for answers about his missing sister. Farrell, who’s also an executive producer of Sugar, has two high-profile series going at the moment. He also stars in The Penguin at HBO, which has drawn big audiences for its first two episodes.

Season one of Sugar also stars Kirby, Amy Ryan, James Cromwell, Anna Gunn, Dennis Boutsikaris, Nate Corddry, Sydney Chandler, and Alex Hernandez. It’s not clear whether any of them will return for season two.

Catlin (Breaking Bad, Preacher) will be the showrunner for season two and executive produce via his Short Drive Entertainment. Chon and Kinberg, who has an overall deal at Apple TV+, exec produce for Genre Films along with Farrell, Scott Greenberg and Chip Vucelich. Mark Protosevich created the series.

SS United States Must VACATE

The SS United States, a 1,000-foot vessel that still holds the transatlantic speed record it broke in 1952, must leave its South Philadelphia berth of more than a decade by Sept. 12, said a federal judge Friday.

The decision by U.S. District Judge Anita B. Brody put an end to a years-old rent dispute that culminated in a two-day January bench trial between the SS United States Conservancy, a steward of the ship, and its Pier 82 landlord, Penn Warehousing.

Tensions came to a boil in August 2021, when Penn Warehousing doubled its daily dockage fee for what was once known as the “Queen of the Seas” to $1,700, an increase the conservancy refused to accept, continuing to pay its previous rate, set in 2011. Penn Warehousing terminated the lease in March 2022 with a written notice, then took the conservancy to court, with the conservancy filing a counterclaim.

During the trial, attorneys for both sides tried to bend the vagueness of the original berthing agreement in their favor. Brody, who’d encouraged the parties to settle instead of leaving it up to her, ultimately gave each side a partial victory in her decision.

She took note of two key omissions in the original berthing agreement. There were no provisions for any change in the “lay up dockage fee” or provisions on how either party could end the relationship save for the vessel’s departure. Penn Warehousing’s demand for increased dockage fees with a 14-days notice “finds no support in the Berthing Agreement or contract law,” she wrote, and the conservancy’s failure to pay the new rate did not amount to a breach of the 2011 agreement or entitle its landlord to damages.

Still, Brody wrote that under Pennsylvania contract law, the berthing agreement is terminable at will with reasonable notice, which Penn Warehousing had issued in March 2022.

Susan Gibbs, conservancy president and granddaughter of the ship’s designer, said in a statement that the conservancy “was vindicated in not being compelled to pay a large sum of back rent.” Yet she lamented the ticking clock the conservancy is now under.

“The judge’s decision gives us a very limited window to find a new home for the SS United States and raise the resources necessary to move the ship and keep her safe,” she wrote.

The decision gives the conservancy about 90 days to find a new home. In addition to finding a location, Gibbs said the conservancy would need funds for insurance, tugs, surveys, and dock preparations for a move.

Penn Warehousing takes no joy in the victory, attorney Craig Mills said in an emailed statement.

“The best hope of everyone involved was that the Conservancy could successfully repurpose the ship,” he said. “But after decades of decay and delay, it is time to acknowledge the unavoidable and return Pier 82 to productive commercial service.”

Discovery of AC Irvine's foot on Mt. Everest could change history

When a National Geographic documentary team discovered a boot and sock sticking out of a melting glacier on Mount Everest in September, they almost immediately recognized its significance as a clue to a century-old mystery.

A name label still stitched onto the woollen sock read “A.C. Irvine,” revealing that it probably belonged to British climber Andrew “Sandy” Irvine. Irvine’s disappearance on Everest in 1924, alongside his compatriot George Mallory, is one of mountaineering’s biggest mysteries – with a solution that has the potential to change history.

The pair disappeared on June 8, 1924, 800 feet below Everest’s summit, as they set off to complete the first documented ascent of the world’s tallest mountain. But whether they made it to the summit, thus becoming the first known people to reach this milestone, before they died is still unknown.

While Mallory’s body was discovered in 1999, neither Irvine’s body nor the camera that the climbers were carrying, which might reveal whether they reached the summit, have ever been found.

That is, until this latest expedition, when the National Geographic team, which included “Free Solo” co-director Jimmy Chin, discovered a foot inside what they believe is Irvine’s boot. While they are waiting for DNA confirmation, comparing samples from the foot with ones taken from members of Irvine’s family, it appears to be the first evidence of his death since his disappearance.

“It’s the first real evidence of where Sandy ended up,” Chin said, according to National Geographic. “A lot of theories have been put out there.

“When someone disappears and there’s no evidence of what happened to them, it can be really challenging for families. And just having some definitive information of where Sandy might’ve ended up is certainly (helpful), and also a big clue for the climbing community as to what happened.”

A few days before they found the boot, the team discovered an oxygen cylinder from a 1933 expedition that had also attempted to scale Mount Everest. Though that expedition failed, it had found an ice ax belonging to Irvine on the mountain’s northeast ridge, leading Chin’s team to speculate that they might be close to his body.

Following that hypothesis, they spent the next few days scouring the glacier, until filmmaker and climber Erich Roepke spotted the boot.

“I think it literally melted out a week before we found it,” said Chin.

Chin and the team took the boot and foot off the mountain in a cooler when they noticed birds disturbing it and gave it to the China-Tibet Mountaineering Association (CTMA).

Shortly after their discovery, the team informed Irvine’s family, including his great-niece Julie Summers, who has written a book about the climber.

Summers was “moved to tears” when she learnt of the boot’s existence in an “extraordinary and poignant moment,” she said, according to the PA Media news agency.

“I have lived with this story since I was a seven-year-old when my father told us about the mystery of Uncle Sandy on Everest,” she added.

“The story became more real when climbers found the body of George Mallory in 1999, and I wondered if Sandy’s body would be discovered next. A quarter-of-a-century after that discovery, it seemed extremely unlikely that anything new would be found.”

Here's Donald Trump's RECORD for people who tell you that "he was a good President"

Here’s the biggest myth that Republican candidate Donald Trump is trying to sell to Americans and to the world: that he was a good president.

Trump’s continuously repeated falsehoods about his record as president have convinced many people who find him to be a horrible person, but nevertheless support him because of what Trump says about his term in office.

“Yes, I know, he’s 78, he’s not as sharp as he used to be, he lies all the time, he has cheated on his wives, he makes racist comments, he is a convicted felon, and he tried to carry out a coup after he lost the last elections. But he was a good president,” a Republican friend told me recently.

Let me share with you some facts to help fight political amnesia. In fact, Trump was one of the worst presidents in recent history. Here are the facts:

A larger deficit

On the economy, Trump left the biggest deficit in U.S. history.

Under Trump, the national debt grew much faster than during his successor Joe Biden. Like most populists, Trump cut taxes and spent as if there were no tomorrow, leaving a national debt that will have to be paid by our children and grandchildren for decades.

The national debt rose by almost $7.8 trillion to $28 trillion during Trump’s four years in office, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. The debt has kept growing since, but at a significantly slower pace.

As for the country’s economic growth, the U.S. economy under Trump grew by an overall 6.8%. By comparison, it grew by 8.4% in the Biden years.

On the jobs’ front, Trump left office with 3 million fewer jobs than there were when he entered the White House. Granted, that was largely because of the pandemic, but Biden has added nearly 16 million jobs since then.

Granted, inflation was lower under Trump than under Biden. The pandemic disrupted supply chains from China and made consumer prices soar in America in 2021 and 2022. But inflation has since fallen to 2.4%, close to its pre-pandemic levels.

A weakened democracy

On democracy, Trump undermined democratic institutions and the rule of law like no other American president in recent memory. He is the first U.S. president I can remember who tried to stage a coup d’etat to stay in power.

Trump falsely claims to this day that he won the 2020 election, even after more than 60 courts and the conservative-majority Supreme Court found his objections to be unsubstantiated.

Then, he tacitly tried to incite rebellion on Jan. 6, 2021, when he waited for hours before trying to stop a pro-Trump mob from invading the U.S. Capitol in hopes of overturning the election result. He continues to praise the violent rioters who injured more than 100 police officers, calling them “patriots” and government “hostages.”

Emboldening dictators

On foreign policy, Trump weakened America’s standing in the world by picking fights with the closest U.S. allies while at the same time embracing dictators such as Russia’s Vladimir Putin and North Korea’s Kim Jong Un.

Trump withdrew from the Paris Climate Accord and threatened to abandon the U.S.-European NATO military alliance. Trump’s threats to leave NATO significantly damaged the group’s unity and probably encouraged Putin to plan his 2022 invasion of Ukraine.

Trump deserves credit for the Abraham Accords to help establish diplomatic ties between Israel and some Arab countries. But if you look at the world in terms of superpower-led blocs, Trump left power in 2020 with a weaker Western alliance and a stronger China and Russia.

Reproductive rights

On abortion, Trump appointed three conservative Supreme Court judges who played a crucial role in overturning Roe v. Wade, a ruling that had made abortions legal in the country for nearly 50 years. As a result, some states banned abortions, and some women reportedly died because they could not get proper medical care to end their pregnancies.

Slurring Trump Rambles Aimlessly About ‘Biden Circles’ and Trashes Detroit During Speech in… Detroit | Video

Donald Trump, who appeared weak-voiced and exhausted, meandered for several minutes while speaking at the Detroit Economic Club, at one point even insulting the city itself while implying that the alleged bad things about it will go national should he lose the election.

“The whole country will be like — you want to know the truth? It’ll be like Detroit. Our whole country will end up being like Detroit if she’s your president,” Trump said, referring to Democratic candidate Kamala Harris.

Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan tweeted in response to Trump’s speech, “Detroit just hosted the largest NFL Draft in history, the Tigers are back in the playoffs, the Lions are headed to the Super Bowl, crime is down and our population is growing. Lots of cities should be like Detroit. And we did it all without Trump’s help.”

Though the city has an embattled history, city and state leaders have touted the revitalization of downtown, and the city’s population rose for the first time in more than 60 years this year.

Elsewhere in his speech, Trump seemed focused on companies “leaving wherever they may be located” before he referenced “things were coming cylinders, no wings, no nothing, and they’re coming down very slowly, landing on a raft in the middle of the ocean someplace with a circle boom” that “reminded me of the Biden circles that he used to have.”

In a clip shared on X, formerly Twitter, Trump said in full, “Many countries, they do that, and then all of a sudden you hear that they’re leaving Milwaukee, or they’re leaving wherever they may be located. It’s very sad to see it… and it’s so simple. I mean, you know, this isn’t like Elon with his rocket ships that land within 12 inches on the moon where they wanted to land, or he gets the engines back.”

“That was the first I realized. I said, ‘Who the hell did that?’ I saw engines about three, four years ago. These things were coming — cylinders, no wings, no nothing, and they’re coming down very slowly, landing on a raft in the middle of the ocean someplace with a circle, boom.”

“Reminded me of the Biden circles that he used to have, right? He’d have eight circles, and he couldn’t fill them up. But then I heard he beat us with the popular vote. I don’t know. I don’t know. Couldn’t fill up the eight circles. I always loved those circles. They were so beautiful. It was so beautiful to look at. In fact, the person that did that was the best thing about… that level of that circle was great, but they couldn’t get people.”

Ryan Gosling was fat? I don't recall him ever being fat.

Saoirse Ronan recently appeared on the “Happy Sad Confused” podcast and remembered the dramatic casting switch that occurred during the making of Peter Jackson’s “The Lovely Bones.” The director originally cast Ryan Gosling as the father of Ronan’s protagonist, but the actor was replaced by Mark Wahlberg just days before filming after Jackson disagreed with Gosling’s decision to gain 60 pounds for the role.

Jackson never started filming “The Lovely Bones” with Gosling, but Ronan revealed the cast had already “done some prep” by the time Gosling got fired. Ronan had bonded with Gosling and was sad to see him ago.

“I think I just loved Ryan and his dog, George, and I was just sad that, you know, he wasn’t gonna be around,” Ronan said. “But I think the reasons why they parted were totally valid, and I’ve spoken to both [Gosling and Jackson] now and it happens. Do you know what I mean? It’s not personal, necessarily. It’s like sometimes you’re just not on the same page.”

“Mark was able to step in, and he was a father,” Ronan added. “He was a father to, like, I don’t know, three kids? He probably had an experience of that that Ryan felt he didn’t. Ryan was like 27. He was young.”

Ronan would get the chance to work with Gosling a few years later when he cast her to lead his directorial debut “Lost River.”

Gosling spoke to THR a year after “The Lovely Bones” opened in theaters and revealed his firing was due to his weight gain. The actor explained: “We had a different idea of how the character should look. I really believed he should be 210 pounds. We didn’t talk very much during the preproduction process, which was the problem.”

“It was a huge movie, and there’s so many things to deal with, and he couldn’t deal with the actors individually,” Gosling added. “I just showed up on set, and I had gotten it wrong. Then I was fat and unemployed.”

Melissa Gilbert slams 'appalling' “Little House on the Prairie” reunion events

"I think it really sheds a terrible light on the brand," the actress said, claiming organizers misled attendees into believing she was participating when she was not.

Melissa Gilbert has strong feelings about some controversial Little House on the Prairie reunion events that took place this year.

The cast of the beloved period drama recently announced that they would no longer support or appear at fan events produced by Jack Bishop and Gravel Road Markets, and now Gilbert, who played writer Laura Ingalls Wilder on the series, is tearing into the allegedly mismanaged events.

"From what I understand, it became a waking nightmare," Gilbert said of an event in Pennsylvania in a new interview with PEOPLE. "They ran [out of] food. He oversold tickets. He didn't pay the vendors."

Gilbert said that the events were "a shocking affront to the fans of Little House on the Prairie," adding, "If I were the owner of the IP, I would be infuriated because I think it really sheds a terrible light on the brand."

A representative for Gravel Road Markets did not immediately respond to Entertainment Weekly's request for comment.

The actress and more than a dozen of her Little House costars announced on Sept. 6 that they had cut ties with Bishop's company, citing "disappointing events in Connecticut and Pennsylvania." The cast said they asked Bishop to remove their names and likeness from any promotional assets for future events, which were scheduled to take place in Tennessee, South Dakota, Missouri, and Texas. "This decision was not made lightly but with compassion, concern, and great respect for the well-being of our multigenerational fans," they wrote in their statement.

Then, on Oct. 1, the cast released another joint statement accusing Bishop of failing to comply with their wishes and "refusing to announce the cancellation" of future Little House events, claiming that Bishop is listing the castless events as "sold out" rather than canceled.

"Mr. Bishop appears to be taking advantage of Little House fans by failing to inform them and his ticket vendor, Eventbrite, that the Little House cast has permanently ended our relationship with him," they wrote. "This misrepresentation of event status has likely confused ticket buyers and complicated the process of requesting refunds."

Gilbert told PEOPLE that she had concerns about the events' promotion in early 2024. "Immediately, I knew there was an issue, because [Bishop] was promoting that I was going to be at all of these different places, and I wasn't," the actress said. "Fans were buying tickets to see me, and I knew that I wasn't going to be there."

The actress said she had to take matters into her own hands to clarify her absence from the reunions. "I started posting on social media, saying, 'Guys, I'm not going to be there,'" Gilbert explained. "Apparently people contacted him, and he told them not only was I going to be there, but I was co-producing this with him. So this is the beginning of my experience with Jack Bishop, which just meant he's cut off and I will not work with anyone who does this. Period, full stop."

Gilbert also said she has "advocated for an investigation" into Bishop's business practices.

Hugh Jackman asks for help to search for missing Broadway star Zelig Williams

The theater community is searching for a beloved performer.

MJ The Musical star Zelig Williams disappeared on Oct. 3, with his missing persons flyer noting the 28-year-old was last seen at his home in Columbia, S.C., wearing a white T-shirt, black shorts and brown slides.

"According to authorities," reads the poster shared by Black and Missing, "Zelig was last seen driving in the Congaree National Park area, where his vehicle was found."

His family members initially believed he may have been in a car crash due to an alert from his phone.

“Around 9:50 Thursday morning, he left just normally as he would,” Williams’ aunt Christine McLaughlin Barber told local South Carolina TV station WACH. “About 10 minutes later, we received an SOS ping from his phone from one of his friends in New York, indicating a crash.”

However, they have since ruled out a car accident, according to the outlet.

While authorities search for the actor, his Broadway colleagues—including Hugh Jackman, who worked with Williams on the 2019 concert tour “The Man. The Music. The Show"—are urging anyone with information to contact the Richland County Sheriff's Office.

“Zelig we love you and are praying for your safe return,” Jackman wrote on his Instagram Story Oct. 10, per Us Weekly. “Please pass this message on!!!”

As for his family, they're also asking local residents to report any possible info on his whereabouts.

"Words can't express what our family is going through right now," Barber wrote on Facebook Oct. 10. "Please continue to share his photos and videos. The more we share the more people can get the word out to other states/countries."

She added, "Please continue to pray pray pray for Zelig to come home safe. WE LOVE YOU ZELIG."

In addition to playing Jackson 5 member Marlon Jackson in the Michael Jackson musical, Williams was also cast in Hamilton in 2015 as an ensemble performer.

Earlier this month, he celebrated a more personal milestone by ringing in his 28th birthday.

"28 only feels like a new thing because 27 I gave my full yes to Christ," Williams shared on Instagram Sept. 11. "This yes is a daily yes. Yes, I’ll follow you. Yes, I’ll stop following my old ways. Yes, I’ll praise you. Yes, I’ll change this and that. Yes, I’ll listen. Yes, I’ll let go. I only say yes because of His goodness and love for me. He is unmatched. Thank you, Jesus for being good to me this year and keeping me in all my ways."

Man Who Married His Son Upate

I can't find the original thread, but I posted a few months ago about the late night call I got from an hysterical guy who discovered that his new husband 15 years his junior was the product of a one time encounter with his high school girlfriend who gave baby up for adoption. Here's the update: After three hours on the phone listen to this guy carry one, he work up his husband (only married about 6 weeks) and they made love. He told him a few nights later. He told me that the knowledge they are bio father and son has brought a new dimension to their love. They love each other as men, as husbands, but also as father and son. They decided to tell no one. The younger guy and the wife of a cousin are doing the surrogacy thing and a baby is expected in a few months. The older guy is going to do invitor, using an egg from the same in-law and a paid surrogate. No comingling of dad and son DNA. They're happy and can't imagine life without this bio connection. Well, good for them. I don't suppose they're hurting anyone. Both good men.

I asked Alexa to play 80s hits, and when "Against All Odds" came on, it clearly wasn't Phil Collins singing the song. Then when "Hello" came on, it was Lionel Richie singing the song, but it was obvious it wasn't the original version of the song.

Is it a licensing issue? Something with the recording companies owning the rights to the originals?

I miss colorful houses

Growing up in the 80s and 90s, everybody had colorful carpet in their living room, and colorful walls and/or wallpaper. I remember visiting people’s homes and they had either blue or green carpet in the living room. Sometimes pink. People used to have colored fixtures in their bathroom that were either powder blue or pink.

I remember sometime around the year 2000, everything changed and the aesthetic became all white. White walls, white carpet, white floors. I wonder if it was the depressing feeling of the Bush years that brought this on. Everything just became boring and depressing and sad.

Funny Obituary

Robert Adolph Boehm, in accordance with his lifelong dedication to his own personal brand of decorum, muttered his last unintelligible and likely unnecessary curse on October 6, 2024, shortly before tripping backward over "some stupid mother****ing thing" and hitting his head on the floor.

Robert was born in Winters, TX, to the late Walter Boehm and Betty Smith on May 6, 1950, after which God immediately and thankfully broke the mold and attempted to cover up the evidence. Raised Catholic, Robert managed to get his wife Dianne pregnant (three times) fast enough to just barely miss getting drafted into the Vietnam War by fathering Michelle, John, and Charlotte between 1967 and 1972. Much later, with Robert possibly concerned about the brewing conflict in Grenada, Charles was born in 1983.

This lack of military service was probably for the best, as when taking up shooting as a hobby in his later years, he managed to blow not one, but two holes in the dash of his own car on two separate occasions, which unfortunately did not even startle, let alone surprise, his dear wife Dianne, who was much accustomed to such happenings in his presence and may have actually been safer in the jungles of Vietnam the entire time.

While the world was in conflict elsewhere, Robert made due by learning to roof, maintain traffic signs with the City of Amarillo, and eventually becoming a semi-professional truck driver—not to be confused with a professional semi-truck driver.

With peace on the horizon, Robert's attention somewhat counterintuitively drifted to weapons of war, spanning the historical and geographical spectrum from the atlatl of 19,000 BC France, to the sjambok of 1830s Africa, to the Mosin-Nagant M1891 of WWII-era Soviet Union. So many examples of these mainstream hobbyist items litter his small Clarendon, Texas, apartment that one of them may very well have been the item referenced in his aforementioned eloquent final epitaph.

A man of many interests, Robert was not to be entranced by historical weapons alone, but also had a penchant for fashion, frequently seen about town wearing the latest trend in homemade leather moccasins, a wide collection of unconventional hats, and boldly mismatched shirts and pants.

Robert also kept a wide selection of harmonicas on hand—not to play personally, but to prompt his beloved dogs to howl continuously at odd hours of the night to entertain his many neighbors, and occasionally to give to his many, many, many grandchildren and great-grandchildren to play loudly during long road trips with their parents.

Earlier this year, in February, God finally showed mercy upon Dianne, getting her the hell out of there for some well-earned peace and quiet. Without Dianne to gleefully entertain, Robert shifted his creative focus to the entertainment of you, the fine townspeople of Clarendon, Texas. Over the last eight months, if you have not met Robert or seen his road show yet, you probably would have soon.

We have all done our best to enjoy/weather Robert's antics up to this point, but he is God's problem now.

Robert's farewell tour will be held Monday, October 14th, at 10 a.m. at Memorial Park Funeral Home, 6969 E Interstate 40 Hwy, Amarillo, TX 79118. The family encourages you to dust off whatever outdated or inappropriate combination of clothing you have available to attend. A tip jar will be available in the front; flowers are also acceptable.

Released forty years ago this month, it marks the end of her mainstream top 40 pop/rock phase (although she did briefly come back to it for Till I Loved You)

Two videos were released to MTV (and were surprisingly played regularly on the network) Yet there was no video for the second single, a duet with Kim Carnes.

Thoughts? I don't think the album was too bad, and it was nice to see her actually attempt to make music videos, unlike her future ones, where she just stood in a studio and sang.
