Grit is a magazine, formerly a weekly newspaper, popular in the rural U.S. during much of the 20th century. It carried the subtitle "America's Greatest Family Newspaper". In the early 1930s, it targeted small town and rural families with 14 pages plus a fiction supplement. By 1932, it had a circulation of 425,000 in 48 states, and 83% of its circulation was in towns of fewer than 10,000 inhabitants.[1]

Carry on, bitches.

Finally, a journalist gets some balls. This is how it's done. Stephanopolous asked JD Vance about the Tom Homan bribery incident, and instead of answering the question, Vance went on a MAGA talking point rant. George was not having it, so he cut the dickhead off and moved along.

And look at Vance's ego-filled, audacious statement to Stephanopolous:

[quote] Here's, George, why fewer and fewer people watch your program and why you're losing credibility, because you're talking for now 5 minutes with the Vice President of the United States about this.

The common wisdom is that actually being in a healthy, loving relationship makes you look younger and happier. A certain glow everyone can see when they're the right one. And then there's these two travesties. *Not* aging well are they. Especially when compared to just seven months ago *before* they moved in together.

According to a report by Rob Shuter of #ShuterScoop, the Latina star is “absolutely heartbroken” by the box office reception of her recent film release. Inside sources are calling it one of the toughest blows of her long career. Lopez is reportedly upset about the film not meeting box office expectations. The film was made on a $35 million budget and was expected to open to big numbers.

However, according to trade experts and industry projections, the film might open to a modest $1.5 to $2.5 million. Lopez was counting on the film to be her big Hollywood comeback as a lead actress after a supporting role in the 2024 sports film, Unstoppable.

Inside sources remarked, “She poured her soul into this. She thought it would be her A Star Is Born moment.”

Just announced.

TCM was showing movies about women in the workforce, and since I'd never seen "Baby Boom," I thought I'd watch it, expecting lots of laughs. Nope. The movie doesn't hold up, and I don't think I laughed even once. Some of the things that bothered me the most:

- Diane Keaton is supposed to be a maverick business woman, but she can't figure out how to put a disposable diaper on a baby. - Also, the maverick business woman buys a house sight unseen, then runs out of money in about two weeks trying to fix all of its problems. - She carries the kid around like a sack of flour. I can't imagine they could get away with that kind of mishandling of a child in the movies today. - The movie appears to take place over the course of a year, but the kid never grows an inch and never learns to talk. Is it developmentally disabled? - Sam Shepard had teeth that looked like bowling pins that were just knocked down.

Anyone else seen this piece of crap? What are your thoughts?

I had to do it.

Tallulah Willis is taking back her power.

In a post shared to Instagram on Wednesday, Oct. 8, the 31-year-old daughter of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore, opened up about learning to embrace her features after years of hating them due to online bullying.

“My Lordy! if I am NOT this man’s child,” the actress captioned a carousel, which alternated between pictures of herself and her famous father, 70.

The images showed shots of Tallulah with facial expressions similar to Bruce's.

I was about 19 when I was reading him on my own and finally getting it and enjoying it. It always helps to have a book where some of the more muddled language or antiquated allusions are deciphered right next to the corresponding line.

My breakthrough play was “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” which I found myself laughing through and needing textual help less and less. True, it’s not one of his more complex works. But I also feel Act V maybe extends the story a little too long as things are pretty much wrapped up at the end of Act IV.

The saga continues ...

Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), my ass.

He and they've NEVER spoken a true word about this maniac stooge's health.

He's a sick cunt, physically and in every other way. Demented, unable to sleep, never shuts up.

Photo is from today, a couple days after another multi-day disappearance.

Oscar winner Jane Fonda, who turns 88 at the end of December, was just interviewed on CNN by journalist Christiane Amanpour. They talked about Redford's passing (Fonda pointed out they costarred in four movies together), and then Fonda said she hasn't worked in 3 years - and she's scared to death her acting career is over. She 'needs to work' because that is her 'craft', but she hasn't gotten any offers. She did 3 movies in 2022 (all released in 2023), but nothing since. She admitted, "I shouldn't be saying this, but I'm scared to death!"

I will post a link when it becomes available on YT.

The previous thread is almost finished. Thought I'd start a new one.

Former Lostprophets singer Ian Watkins, who is currently imprisoned for multiple sex offenses and pedophilia crimes, was taken hostage by fellow inmates and brutally stabbed and beaten, according to The Mirror. He is reported to be fighting for his life.

The disgraced UK rocker is roughly 10 years into a 29-year sentence after pleading guilty to multiple counts of engaging in sex with minors. Among his many heinous charges was the attempted sexual assault of a baby.

Per The Mirror‘s report, the now 46-year-old Watkins was taken hostage on Saturday morning (August 5th) by three fellow prisoners who brutally beat and stabbed him. He was eventually freed by prison guards and treated in an ambulance outside HMP Wakefield prison, where he is serving his sentence.

The Mirror cites a source as saying, “He was found by officers after being held hostage and battered on Saturday morning. He’s in a life-threatening condition and there are fears he could die. If he survives, he’ll have been very lucky.”

A spokesperson for the prison stated, “Police are investigating an incident which took place on Saturday at HMP Wakefield. We are unable to comment further while the police investigate.”

Lostprophets hit it big with their 2004 sophomore album, Start Something, featuring the No. 1 alternative-rock single “Last Train Home.” The band broke up in 2013 in the wake of the horrific charges against Watkins, with the other members eventually forming the new band No Devotion with Thursday singer Geoff Rickly.

I find it interesting that both films were utterly trounced by Taylor Swift.

Smashing Machine outright BOMBED- frankly I am glad as its well known that The fucking Rock is late as fuck all the time to every fucking set he works on- Doesn't give a FUCK about anyone and is overindulged. So fuck him.

I really thought that OBAA would go to Oscar glory, but its box office is very disappointing.

I wonder what other films may come along and get Box office and Oscar recognition-

I've said all long that Sinners does not have a fucking chance to win-- I'm starting to rethink that- Wasn't it a massive hit?

It wasn't like this in the seventies.

Go on.

On another thread, there’s a comment that gay pornstar was on an episode of PBS’ In the Life. Does anyone know which episode it was or which year? Also, there comments that he was actually openly gay. Is this true?

Madonna is hailed as one of the wealthiest self-made women in the world. While many might expect the Queen of Pop to leave her massive fortune to her kids, it seems that may not happen. According to a source, the 67-year-old may leave her personal fortune to Jewish mysticism, which is close to her heart and has greatly influenced her life in many ways.

Madonna’s kids see her potential plans for her massive fortune as ‘betrayal,’ claims source

Madonna reportedly has a massive fortune of $850 million. However, instead of leaving it to her children, Lourdes, Rocco, David, Mercy, Stella, and Estere, the singer plans to leave her personal fortune to the Kabbalah movement, which has helped her in many ways. “She believes Kabbalah saved her soul,” one confidant shared to #ShuterScoop. “It gave her strength through fame, heartbreak, and health scares. To Madonna, this is her way of giving thanks.”

The record producer “sees her fortune as a way to ensure Kabbalah thrives after she’s gone.” However, it seems her six children are not very receptive to her thoughts. According to the insider, the singer’s decision has “shaken” her children. All her kids “love her, but this feels like a betrayal,” claimed another insider.

This will not be the first time the global icon has supported the movement. As per the Kabbalah official site, the Hollywood icon “has been a dedicated student of Kabbalah with The Kabbalah Centre for 29 years.” She has been “studying with her teacher Eitan Yardeni under the leadership of Rav Berg.”

The actress reportedly joined the centre in 1996. According to a 2011 Newsweek article, the philanthropist has allegedly donated at least $18 million of her personal fortune to the center up to that point.

To spread the word, Madonna has recently debuted a new Kabbalah Master Class, “The Mystical Studies of the Zohar.” “Studying from the Zohar and learning Kabbalah’s teachings are pathways to becoming a happier human being,” she said about her class.

Conservative advocacy group Turning Point USA has announced a counter program halftime show that will be held during next year's official Super Bowl LX halftime show.

The nonprofit, founded by the late activist Charlie Kirk, who was killed during a public speaking event on Sept. 10, revealed this week that its counter program show would run opposite the NFL's Super Bowl LX halftime show at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California, on Feb. 8 and will be called The All American Halftime Show.

Last month, the NFL announced Bad Bunny as the 2026 Super Bowl LX Apple Music Super Bowl Halftime Show performer.

He attended Mistr’s PReP party.

He looks thrilled.

Feel free to name as many as you want to!

When have you ever known The Queen to associate herself with trash. They both attended the same benefit charity for Prison Reform. Oh yeah and the Emmys are a bit tight that the King & Queen of black music opted not to attend.

Do your thing!

Handsome.

We have the original theatrical ending which is shorter and happier. One of the Greek chorus girls couldn’t make the final shot so they put another woman in the line and didn‘t show her face.

Then you have the Director’s Cut version which cost a fortune for such a small film and was cut after the test screenings said it sucked all the air out of the room. It was closer to the stage ending but the actors didn’t reappear as flowers on Audrey II and there was no curtain call or dropping vines to freak out the audience during “Don’t Feed the Plants”. Instead, we got an endless sequence of exploding brick walls and the plants taking over the world with no optimism. Once Ellen Greene dies, the film runs out of gas.

Which do you prefer?

I grew up watching and loving both shows, but I don't know if it was ever explained who they really were. It's a good guess that Herman Munster was some kind of Frankenstein monster, but what about Lilly and Grandpa? Were they dead? WTF was Cousin It supposed to be? More importantly, do we think Thing and Lady Fingers ever...you know...fingered each other?

They're such little dolls. I think they might grow up to be skateboarders.

I need to take the edge off these days.

I've lost 40 lbs in 5 months and mine looks bigger now than it did before the weight loss.

My partner and I live in NYC. We want to do a vacation of just over a week—9-10 days.

We had originally thought somewhere in Asia, but flight prices are crazy.

How’s London when it’s cold? Any other ideas?

I don’t mean discreet moistened eye corners. I mean blubbering like a baby.

Austin has moved out of their Santa Monica home of four years. Kevitch is homeless and Galitzine is in a deep dark closet with his faghag. THE CLOSET WINS. Sad.

New thread for a new year.

Say what you want but she is isn't selling out on the platform she campaigned on like most of MAGA

I've been taking thrice weekly microdoses of psilocybin for the last four weeks, and it's been life-changing. I never feel "high", just markedly more patient, tolerant, peaceful, and grounded. No more road rage, deep political anxiety and anger, wanting to bitch slap my co-workers, or privately seething at my partner's annoying habits. It's also calmed my eczema and lessened my joint pain (apparently it's also anti-inflammatory), and really boosted my libido. Zero side-effects. It feels like it's healing my frazzled brain and body.

I firmly believe if all Americans were secretly dosed with this stuff we would be a far less polarized, anxious, and violent people.

Let me mention one that I bought a sample of "decant" because I wanted to see what the fuss was about.

Guidance 46 by Amouage.

HOLY COW! It's a NUCLEAR fragrance that smells like rotten pears and nuts with roses. ITS FUCKING DISGUSTING! Shocked by its cult status and $500.00 price tag. (I believe it does have an extremely high concentration of oils compared to most fragrances)

Not sure if he's Nathan or Nobody or some other Faison spawn....one rumor claims he's Faison himself.......but hey, let's hope Ryan P is as frequently shirtless as he was in his previous run. He sho is pretty.

Fucking outrageous. Everyone knew this murderer/"struggling artist" was trouble, but they kept letting him off. A 64 year old, Brooklyn native, survivor of both islamic terror attacks on the WTC gets beaten to death. The legal aide lawyer, Gretchen Reeser says he's not a flight risk but she doesn't give a shit about the safety of law-abiding citizens. The prosecutors and judges are totally useless and act helpless every time this violent criminal is before the court. Elected officials remain silent as criminals are released.

The White House responded to the news of the Nobel Peace award Friday, with communications director Steven Cheung saying members of “the Nobel Committee proved they place politics over peace" because they didn't recognize Trump, especially after the Gaza ceasefire deal his administration helped strike this week.

“He has the heart of a humanitarian, and there will never be anyone like him who can move mountains with the sheer force of his will,” Cheung wrote on social media.

The White House did not comment on Machado's recognition, but Trump on social media shared Machado's post praising him.

There will be a special prize for everyone who knows.

Hello, Nicholas Denton as "Guy Anatole."

He's a cutie!

Well, two weeks and 7 hours to be exact. I'm feeling pretty good, and what a relief it is to not have to rotate where I'm buying my two bottles of wine nightly (to avoid judgment from store clerks), nor to have to take bottles out to the recycle bin every third day, knowing the neighbors can see all the bottles I've accumulated (we share one set of trash/recycling for 5 people on our property).

Based on how much I was drinking prior to quitting, that's 142 drinks passed up, 28+ bottles, $185 bucks saved (I was buying some cheaper, but tasty to me, wine).

It's been so wonderful to wake up ready for the day, and eat my first meal of the day without intense stomach cramps and having to run for the bathroom for fear of shitting my pants (and that has happened). No more waking up with unexplained bruises or skin issues (I would get eczema-like patches occasionally and my face was breaking out - especially my nose), and bloated face/swollen and bloodshot eyes. I've cleaned my house (finally put away holiday decorations that had been sitting unboxed on the floor for four months, and folded all the laundered clothes I let pile up on my sofa), cleaned up most of the yard and planted a few things, and am preparing to start exercising - my puppy will finally be able to take walks in the outside world this coming Saturday, so we'll be walking quite a bit. I've lost 4.8 lbs without trying (because i'm not drinking 1200+ extra calories per day) without any exercise at all (besides a few hours gardening).

How is everyone else doing? Anyone else sick of drinking? Thinking of quitting? Just quit or have a story to share? Share it here! It's great to be back among the living again. Thank you to everyone who has been encouraging and helpful to me before and while I've been quitting, fellow DLers.

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

Though Hasselbeck praised Behar in her videos about O'Donnell, she made headlines in January for calling the comedian out over her thoughts about Carrie Underwood performing at Donald Trump's inauguration.

"Joy — @carrieunderwood is an INCREDIBLE WOMAN. You could learn from her strength," Hasselbeck wrote on X.

Hasselbeck has made subsequent appearances on The View since her departure from the permanent panel, including as a guest cohost in 2022, and again as a guest for Barbara Walters' tribute episode in January 2023 after the co-creator died the previous month.

O'Donnell spoke out against Hasselbeck's 2022 spot on the show, saying that it reminded her of "why I don't wanna watch it with her anymore."

Meanwhile, in LA's sole restaurant, Ill Giordino, vile, despicable mistress of evil, Sheila Carter, makes pizza while bonding with her granddaughter, two-time murderer Luna of the Enormous Panties.

Let's discuss Big Dick Face - BDF.

Some Icebreakers:

Does BDF even exist?

What specific traits on a face read as BDF?

Or, is BDF a subtle accumulation of traits, and quite variable? It cannot be reduced to a specific formula.

Do you have accurate BDF radar? If so, how did you acquire it? Field work? (sluts!) Extension course?

After a verificatia of tremendous size meat, does any face "transform" into an example of BDF? Does Hunter Biden have BDF, or just a big dick? Did Porfirio Rubirosa have a BDF to match his celebrated dong?

Does BDF radar work equally well on all ethnicities? I had two Chinese fuckbuddies with 8+ inches, and thick! I wouldn't know the indicators for Asian BDF. I suppose Chinese gay sluts could have such radar.

Can you predict BBC on a black man's face? Latino BDF?

With pictures?

People are grossed out by it.

So much female talent in one photo.

There’s a new one gone everyday.

Who will be next?

For the past two days I have been constipated and been vomiting. My brother says to get a COVID test, but at the urgent care they say COVID is more respiratory and this sounds more like in the digestive tract. My SIL says she had both when she had her first occurrence of Covid. So should I get the test? I am going to urgent care in the morning to discuss.

Suppose you had a hangout, let’s say it’s a Lounge called Data. You go there often to get the latest Food Network news, see some celebrity peen, and throw a drink on a sloppy harlot. Good fun. Oh, and you have to pay a few bucks a month just to get in.

Now suppose the Lounge is very poorly managed - the boss is out back in the alley, smoking cocks or running some other restaurant - and in his absence, a smarmy gang of miscreants barges in every weekend to utterly trash the place and your table, too. They pick fights with their exes - people you don’t even know - about shit you can’t imagine. They pick you up and toss you out on the street, and blue-bar you from entry for 48 hours. You ask the manager to fix it, or at least give you a refund, but no dice.

So what should you do?

$150 million well spent.

The visit included advanced imaging, lab testing and preventive health assessments conducted by a team of specialists, according to the letter.

Bell Media’s Crave is set to stream Heated Rivalry, a steamy six-part series about a same-sex hockey romance created by one of the key figures behind previous hits Shoresy and Letterkenny.

Jacob Tierney, a filmmaker who was Jared Keeso’s right-hand man through season two of Shoresy, is writing and directing the show. Adapted from Canadian author Rachel Reid’s 2019 page-turner of the same name, it tells the story of major-league hockey stars Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov, who meet as teenagers and end up playing on rival teams.

The two are, per the show’s logline, “torn between the sport they live for and the love they can’t ignore.”

“I was drawn to the books because of how real and raw the characters felt, the way they loved, fought and held nothing back,” Tierney said in a statement to The Globe and Mail.

Heated Rivalry – produced by Accent Aigu Entertainment, founded by Tierney and Brendan Brady – will be officially announced at Bell Media’s upfront on Thursday. News of the series leaked online as the production began filming around Ontario in Toronto, Hamilton and Guelph.

The romance novel’s avid fans have lit up Reddit with excitement, sharing the Instagram pages of Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie, the actors who are playing the main characters.

“I can’t wait for everyone to meet Hudson and Connor, who bring Ilya and Shane to life in the most electric way,” Tierney said.

On her website, Nova Scotia author Reid describes herself in this way: “I like to write cute smut about hockey players and other people.”

The Crave adaptation of Heated Rivalry promises not to tone down those smutty elements.

In an interview, Justin Stockman, vice-president of content development and programming at Bell Media, said he has seen rushes from the shoot and that fans of what he called “popular IP” will not be disappointed: “There are folders you shouldn’t open at work.”

“It looks great. What we’ve seen is not even colour-corrected or edited yet and it looks like the money is on the screen,” Stockman said. “We put together a great cast.”

Heated Rivalry is still in production and a release date has not been finalized, but Bell Media will announce it as part of its 2025-2026 slate of programming.

And that's a fact!

She looks younger than ever!

The long-awaited sequel to Mel Gibson's 2004 blockbuster biblical drama The Passion of the Christ will include two parts.

The official Instagram page for the production announced on Tuesday, Aug. 5, that the first part will be released on Good Friday, which falls on Friday, March 26, 2027. The second part will hit theaters less than two months later on Ascension Day, which is on Thursday, May 6, 2027.

The Passion of the Christ sequel will cover the resurrection of Jesus, but Gibson has said that there is so much more to unpack than just the Son of God rising from the dead.

But is getting some treatments.

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

I was watching his 1976 Olympics Gold Medal performance on Youtube and ended up going down a rabbit hole. I read the bio "Alone" which described his sexual masochism, his love affair with actor Alan Bates, his early death from AIDS, and I wondered if anyone here at DL ever saw him perform, either on ice, at the Anvil, or in his bedroom.

Clue is a classic murder mystery caper, but it was released with three different endings, only one of which is the best. Clue follows Mr. Boddy and his Butler as they host a dinner party for several dinner guests, all of whom work in or around government jobs, and none of whom completely know each other. They all have something in common, however: they're being blackmailed by Mr. Boddy, as he knows their darkest secrets. When the lights go out, and he's murdered, every guest becomes a suspect, as it was advantageous to any one of them if he was dead. What follows is a lot more murder and betrayal.

Which ending do you prefer?

What songs - older, new or somewhere in between - lift your spirits and make you forget your troubles?

She was horrible in Nell. In Silence of the Lambs, she always had the same facial expressions. The movie was all Anthony Hopkins. In The Accused which I watched recently for the first time, it's Kelly McGillis who was the better actress and who should have been nominated. Jodie was OK in that movie but I don't understand why she won two Oscars. Plus, she looks like a man with long hair.

Politics Exclusive Illegal crossings along U.S.-Mexico border plummet to lowest annual level since 1970 By Camilo Montoya-Galvez Updated on: October 6, 2025 / 11:06 PM EDT / CBS News

Unlawful crossings along the U.S.-Mexico border in fiscal year 2025 plummeted to the lowest annual level since the early 1970s, amid the Trump administration's sweeping clampdown on illegal immigration, internal federal statistics obtained by CBS News show.

U.S. Border Patrol agents recorded nearly 238,000 apprehensions of migrants crossing the southern border illegally in fiscal year 2025, which began in October of last year and ended on Sept. 30, according to the preliminary Department of Homeland Security data, which has not been previously reported.

The number is the lowest annual tally recorded by Border Patrol since fiscal year 1970, when the agency reported roughly 202,000 apprehensions along the U.S.-Mexico border, historical figures indicate.

“Matlock" star David Del Rio has been kicked off the CBS show ... and it's due to some serious allegations, TMZ has learned.

A source with direct knowledge tells TMZ ... David was escorted off the Paramount lot last week as soon as the allegations were reported.

We hear the actor has been accused of sexually assaulting actress Leah Lewis on Paramount property.

His character Billy Martinez -- one of the main ensemble of the Kathy Bates-starring reboot -- will be immediately written off, CBS Studios confirmed. He's appeared in at least 20 episodes, counting the ones yet to air this season.

The series has a pre-planned hiatus in October and November upon completion of the first half of the season. "Matlock" Season 2 premieres Sunday on CBS.

We've reached out to CBS Studios for more information and a rep for David for comment ... so far, no word back.

Thanks, antivaxxers

The reviews are in. I'm going to read it.

"This account of her campaign is fascinating, although not always for the reasons she intends. It is an odd mixture of grievance, justification and self-aggrandisement, with a large dollop of accidental self-parody ... It is also thrillingly catty ... This memoir is a monument to Biden’s failures and Harris’s too, even if the latter are mostly omitted." SUNDAY TIMES (UK)

"I don’t know if Harris found writing 107 Days cathartic, but reading it certainly wasn’t. Instead, the book, which unfolds in strictly chronological order, is a frustrating slog. It seems likely to alienate her critics further and provides no closure or hope for her supporters ... Which isn’t to say there aren’t some real insights ... But while Harris doesn’t refrain from criticising Biden, she doesn’t go full-throttle either, remaining guarded on some of the key questions that still trouble people ... As for any Harris supporters hoping 107 Days might bring closure or optimism, they will also be sorely disappointed." GUARDIAN (UK)

"Taut, often eye-opening ... A thread running throughout is one of bitterness toward Biden’s inner circle, whom Harris felt had been poisoning the well since she first took office ... Does an excellent job of conveying the difficulty of seeking — and occupying — high office, and suggests that if she’d won, Harris’ resilience and ambition would have served her well as the leader of the free world. Many of her insights are astute, though occasionally tinged with rancor ... the brilliant, charismatic woman who came close to breaking the ultimate glass ceiling has given us an essential portrait of an unforgettable turning point in her journey, but 107 Days is mainly absent the perspective and blueprint for going forward that so many of us hunger for. A few years out, that wisdom may come." THE LOS ANGELES TIMES

I was browsing Instagram and came across P. Allen Smith’s profile. I then noticed he was following a bunch of right wing politicians and think tank blogs: Mike Johnson, Fox News, Kristi Noem, uprisingvoice, ragingwest (upholding Christian nationalist values), Sen John Kennedy and many others.

One could argue he’s just keeping tabs on them but it’s telling he’s not following any liberal or Democratic accounts. I’m just surprised a person who looks like he smells cookies and was a host of a show on PBS is right wing. Not even a Mitt Romney moderate!

I seem to remember some recent post mentioning one of the towns in NY where a guy at some particular bookstore or bath house with a truly giant cock could be seen.

Was there a sort of "famous" guy with notoriously big sizemeat in your town?

Democrats took to the floor of the Texas House on Saturday to label a ban on clubs that support gay teens the work of “monsters” and to say the ban endangers children and strips them of their dignity.

The Democratic representatives grew emotional in opposition to a bill that would ban K-12 student clubs focused on sexuality and gender identity.

Senate Bill 12, authored by Sen. Brandon Creighton, won final legislative passage Saturday after lawmakers in both chambers adopted the conference committee reports that specifically clarified that schools will be banned from authorizing or sponsoring student clubs based on sexual orientation or gender identity.

Backers proclaimed that the bill enshrines a parent’s rights and puts the parent not just at the table, but at the head of the table where the child’s best interests are decided. They also targeted diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies, claiming that they project ideologies on students and put too much focus on race, sexuality and gender identity instead of the quality of education.

Thread #47, all of which are better than that BEARKIBG asshole’s thread.

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

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

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

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

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

This guy is hot, beefy, Latino jock and former high school football player. Now, in his mid-20s, he's decided to be a porn actor and is making a name for himself by being a voracious, uninhibited bottom who frequently gets gangbanged. He's got nice pecs, a fat ass, and a fit-thick build, but comes off as a trashy frat bro and seems to have zero self-respect based on the way he lets his tops treat him and talk to him. Thoughts?

That you want to share with our gaylings, so that they too, may know, what a fantastic fucking song is, when they hear one.

I’ll start!

P.S. - The Killers did a perfect cover of this one.

Which puts her in 11th for the artist that’s had the most number ones on the dance chart. She’s in the the same league as Whitney Houston, Kylie Minogue, Martha Wash, Kristine W., Mariah Carey, Donna Summer, Lady Gaga, and Jennifer Lopez, who have had between 14-18 number ones.

Madonna is still the champ at 50, and I don’t think anyone will touch that records anytime soon .

But still Yoko is in that category.

Omg

I'm sure this has been asked before, but I'd like to get a current take on this. I have a bunch of old gay stuff that I ended up with from a deceased friend. (Honest! It's not mine!) Books, old Advocates and porn magazines, gay Yellow Pages, local advertising, a Calvin Klein jeans pictorial, porn mailings. Most of it is probably '80s and '90s. Is there any place that collects or archives these types of things? I don't mind throwing it all out, but I hate to do it if there's someone who might be able to benefit from it.

Almost universally liked. No one has pretty much anything bad to say about them.

Nine Razzie wins and sixteen nominations plus other data offers concrete proof there is no actor worse than Madonna.

This historical drama/horror film focuses on F. W. Murnau's making of the silent classic "Nosferatu", during which cast and crew come to suspect that Max Schreck, the actor playing the titular vampire, may not really be an actor at all. Willem Dafoe stars as Schreck, while John Malkovich portrays Murnau. Cary Elwes, Catherine McCormack, Eddie Izzard, and Udo Kier also appear. The film is based on the oft-repeated urban legend that Schreck was an actual vampire. Dafoe received nominations for Best Supporting Actor at the Academy and Golden Globe Awards for his performance. It is a fantastic film that, despite having a cult following, never seemed to have really caught on.

I am truly scared. I don’t see a way out of this mess.

Former President Joe Biden is undergoing a new phase of treatment for an aggressive form of cancer that was diagnosed in May, a spokesperson said on Saturday.

"As part of a treatment plan for prostate cancer, President Biden is currently undergoing radiation therapy and hormone treatment," according to the spokesperson for the former president.

The radiation treatment is expected to span five weeks and marks a new point in his care, the spokesperson said. He has already been taking a pill form of hormone medication, they added.

"Lawyers for Luigi Mangione asked a New York federal judge Saturday to dismiss some criminal charges, including the only count for which he could face the death penalty, from a federal indictment brought against him in the December assassination of UnitedHealthcare’s chief executive."

"Is This Thing On" is a 'midlife catharsis' movie, says Cooper.

NEW YORK — Will Arnett is much funnier in real life.

Take it from Bradley Cooper, who directs the comedian in the sentimental new dramedy “Is This Thing On?” (in theaters Dec. 19). The film follows a finance guy named Alex (Arnett), who after splitting from his wife Tess (Laura Dern), stumbles into an unlikely hobby as a standup comic. It becomes a therapeutic exercise as Alex hops between Greenwich Village comedy clubs, venting about marriage, sex and family, but often struggling to land a punchline.

“It was quite an acting feat,” said Cooper, speaking to reporters after the movie’s first-ever screening at the New York Film Festival Oct. 10. “For him to play this character is so amusing. He’s still funny, but he’s not Will Arnett funny. It was a real testament that he was able to dive in and do that.”

Fmr. Rep Katie Porter, 51, was just on 'Velshi' this morning, and I couldn't beleieve my eyes. The frumpy, overweight Porter who graced our TV screens for the past few years has returned with a whole new look - possibly for next year's run as Governor of California ?

She used to look like singer Susan Boyle's long lost twin. Today, she looks like she has lost weight (Ozempic?), got a stylish new haircut, and wears make-up. She's still smart as a whip, and knows her shit.

Keep going Katie ! Here's her official photo for her candidacy, but today she looks even thinner with a better haircut...

this explains a lot ...

She is an American who writes columns for the Daily Mail and the NY Post. She wrote an excellent book last year called “Ask not: the Kennedys and the women they destroy”. She is incredibly funny and hates Meghan Markle more than almost anyone on earth.

The contestants are annoying. Drew is not Bob, They have guy models now. Maybe I'm just old.

'Hot felon' Jeremy Meeks lives a very different life after his mugshot went viral 11 years ago.

Back in the early social media days it felt like the 'hot felon' mugshot was always on the news feed.

Jeremy Meeks - aka 'Prison Bae' - became the talk of the town when the Stockton Police Department shared a pic of the then-30-year-old looking absolutely immaculate.

In 2014, he was taken into custody in Stockton, California and was listed as a 'convicted felon, arrested for felony weapon charges'. Despite his denial of the crimes, a year later he was convicted of one count of being in possession of a firearm, and was sentenced to 27 months in federal prison.

During that time, he earned the nickname 'hot felon' after his mugshot went crazy viral. After serving around 13 months in jail, he signed a lucrative deal with White Cross Management, which kickstarted his modelling career.

Let's discuss the great spooky film Zodiac. It is easily one of my favorite films of all time.

(On this day, in 1980).

Directed by Alfred Hitchcock, and based on the novel by Daphne du Maurier, the film follows the second Mrs. De Winter as she discovers the secrets of Manderley and Rebecca.

Starring Laurence Olivier, Joan Fontaine, George Sanders, Gladys Cooper, Nigel Bruce, Sir C. Aubrey Smith, Florence Bates, Reginald Denny, Leo G. Carroll, and DAME JUDITH ANDERSON.

With a lush score by Franz Waxman, and excellent cinematography by George Barnes, Rebecca is one of the greatest movies ever made.

Super-intimate profile of the Patron Saint of Datalounge who is still working all the time and so is incredibly busy.

Things I had forgotten that the profile reminded me of:

*Her great grandfather was the cereal magnate C. W. Post

*Her parents belonged to a cult that made them missionaries who shipped her all over the world

*the worst thing in her life that still traumatizes her is that the cult's offshoot that she joined was... the upbeat musical group Up with People! She spent years fighting with the adults involved in it and she still cries when she thinks about her wasted years with them.

Ok, there is this guy. Older man, 72, married, three kids, just retied from a delivery route. Could not be straighter. But this is not about that. With a couple of guys, we eat lunch together several times a week. Often he stands up or reaches upward (ok, I’m watching his ass) his shirt might ride up a bit or his pants had ridden down a bit and I’m there looking at a quick glimpse of Joe Boxer briefs which aren’t brief at all or white y-fronts with a blue horizontal tripe. Just a tiny glimpse of a bit of blonde hairless back skin. For me it is a huge turn-on. Just a bit of skin showing. Today we went doing some community chores and he drove and I was Shotgun and every time he got out I was peeping, did see some skin. Made me think for some time, if not always, I have been turned on by seeing a bit of accidental exposure. Anyone else like this? He is totally unaware of any of it.

Just went to get my booster and was told by the pharmacist that even though I'm 72 years old a prescription from your doctor is required to get the puncture. They were kind enough to call my doctor for me and there was no issue getting the prescription faxed over, and I got the puncture. She and I were talking about all the new stupid rules they're coming out with and she informed me that previously insurance paid for the COVID treatment Paxlovid, but no more. Now it will cost you $1000 to receive the treatment, so be careful, hope you don't come down with COVID.

More evidence that Trump and his band of scum want to kill off as many people (especially old people) as possible.

We live for bad Vicki Lawrence run-ins.

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

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

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

Kamala Harris’ media blitz is doing little to temper the frustration bubbling among Democrats over her retelling of the 2024 election.

Over the last 24 hours, the former vice president insisted she isn’t burning bridges in her own party, rejected the idea that her infamous interview on "The View" tipped the 2024 election and didn’t rule out another run for political office.

“In an era where Democrats need all hands on deck in the fight to protect the country and the constitution from the lawlessness of the Trump administration, she had a real opportunity to be a critical voice in the resistance,” said Democratic strategist Michael Hardaway. “This book seems to be unhelpful and divisive in a way that makes it hard for her to be the face of the party as we look to the future.”

Season 1 aired in 2021 and we finally got season 2 this year. They are only 6 episode seasons (12 episodes in total) and the show is fabulous.

You can stream it on OutTV if you have it. Phenomenal gay series about… CAM BOYS! Lmaooo

I’m 59. I have zero energy after 1pm. It’s gotten so bad in 2025. Living through the dump years feels like jail in so many ways. I notice people behaving awfully when I’m out. It’s hard to shake.

At least 1000 more government workers got fired tonight—as Trump threatened— because the gov is still shutdown.

It looks like the GOP is not negotiating at all. Instead Trump is holding back Dem state funding and firing workers, hoping the Dems backdown.

The Dems need to amp up their demands. Now, instead of just healthcare credits, all these people need to get their jobs back.

No, not THAT Barry Williams. It was a guy with the same name who had an apartment just a short stroll from the infamous 18-and-up Odyssey dance club in L.A. Barry was tall and very handsome, with curly blond hair and dreamy eyes. He charmed me from the dance floor to his apartment (and his bed). No problems and no complaints. It was a good experience, and nothing unpleasant ever resulted. I’m not a whore, darlin’, but I WAS hot and horny in my coming out period. Who wasn’t?

I don't think that's exactly true: I've had some friends who have worked for politicians in DC who have said there was no abuse in the politicians offices they ever saw.

But i am curious: in which field do you think there's the highest percentage of abusive bosses? Obviously I can;t name all job fields, but I listed some that are infamous for high stress.

Jealous, bitches? 😎

"Defend the Homeland. Join ICE today!"

Murderers, rapists, terrorists, and child pedophiles—ICE is recruiting patriotic, brave Americans to remove these criminal illegal aliens from America’s streets

WASHINGTON – The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) today launched a new U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) campaign to recruit brave and heroic Americans to join ICE as federal law enforcement agents and remove the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens from America’s streets.

“Your country is calling you to serve at ICE. In the wake of the Biden administration’s failed immigration policies, your country needs dedicated men and women of ICE to get the worst of the worst criminals out of our country,” said Secretary Kristi Noem. “This is a defining moment in our nation’s history. Your skills, your experience, and your courage have never been more essential. Together, we must defend the homeland.”

Let's discuss Mark Rydell's film adaptation of Daryl Ponicsan's novel of the same name in which a sailor falls in love with a prostitute and becomes a surrogate father for her 10-year-old mixed-race son.

Nominated for 3 Academy Awards: Best Actress (Marsha Mason), Best Original Dramatic Score and Best Original Song ("Nice to Be Around").

GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene broke sharply with her party leaders on Wednesday as they tried to project a united front in the deepening standoff with Democrats over health care and the government shutdown, calling on Speaker Mike Johnson to bring the House back into session and warning that Americans would be hammered by higher costs if her party doesn’t help right the ship.

Greene, a staunchly conservative Georgia Republican, warned that her party would face backlash from voters if rising health care costs are not addressed, underscoring the growing rift between the prominent Trump ally and GOP leaders.

“Everyone’s just getting destroyed,” Greene told CNN in an exclusive, wide-ranging interview from her House office. “Look, Democrats, you created this mess. Republicans, you have no solutions. You haven’t come up with a new plan in place, and we’re not even talking about it, and it is hurting so many people.”

The issue is front-and-center in the feud over the government shutdown, with Democrats demanding an extension of enhanced Affordable Care Act subsidies that were bolstered during the Covid-19 pandemic to help families pay for health insurance. The loss of those subsidies, set to expire at year’s end, are expected to drive up health care premiums — and Democrats say they must be dealt with immediately as a condition for their votes to reopen the government.

Republicans say those negotiations must wait until after Democrats support a straight extension to fund the government until November 21. Johnson says he won’t bring the House back into session until Senate Democrats vote for the stopgap bill, which the House passed last month.

“I think he should really bring the House back in session for many reasons,” Greene said, lamenting that the regular appropriations process and important meetings between members, including on health care, are on hold. “Any serious speaker of the House is going to build consensus within his conference behind a plan. It’s not something secret that gets worked on in a committee.”

“This cliff is coming for millions and millions of Americans where their health insurance premiums are about to skyrocket, so put your money where your mouth is,” she said, while calling for broader changes to the nation’s health care policy as she contended that the Obama-era Affordable Care Act drove up her family’s health care costs dramatically.

Greene’s comments are the latest in a series of steps she’s taken that have isolated her from her party’s leadership — and the White House. An outspoken critic of Ukraine, she has also ratcheted up her criticism of Israel and called the Gaza war a “genocide.” And she’s one of a handful of Republicans trying to force a full House vote to seek the release of the Jeffrey Epstein case files, while urging Trump to meet with the victims of the late convicted sex offender, saying it would be a “good thing to hear their personal stories.”

My 10 year high-school reunion will happen this year in May, coinciding with the high-school graduation. I didn't plan to attend, but a few friends have messaged asking if I'm going. I barely stay in touch with even those few, certainly not most of the acquaintances from back then. I was pretty active in high school, and had a big social circle, but I have a completely different life now. Do you attend these? I can see these people on social media, and I'm sure we've grown apart.

Otherwise he casts Nepo babies or gets acclaimed stars (somehow) whose careers are not as hot as they once were to star in his mostly shitty shows. Or aged actors/actresses. Or stunt castings.

The only time he gets new actors to star is if they’re young and really hot. Especially the males. And they don’t even have to be good at acting. They just need to be young and desperate for a job. Hunter McVey is the perfect example of this.

This can be a good thing but also bad depending on his intentions.

The legendary singer and actress took to Instagram to post what she called a note directly addressing Fonda’s latest push to defend freedom of expression in Hollywood. Streisand’s post arrives on the heels of the relaunch of the Committee for the First Amendment, a group first formed during the McCarthy era when entertainers, academics, and politicians were blacklisted, silenced, and in some cases imprisoned for their political beliefs.

“Dear Jane,” Streisand began. “We are indeed in deep trouble under Trump’s regime. The entertainment community has always had strong and powerful artists standing up for democracy and freedom of speech. Our voices are always stronger together.”

“I’m proud to be part of our community and this committee in 2025, as sad as this is, to be reliving the 1950s,” she wrote. “Jane, I appreciate your continued activism and voice in these scary times. With hope for the future, Barbra.”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Trump said Friday he would impose a 100 percent tariff on China “over and above any Tariff they are currently paying” effective November 1 – massively escalating his trade war amid a heated dispute over export controls on rare earths.

Seems like a charmer. Asked why he gets cast in so many period pieces, he said, "I've got a face that looks like I can't comprehend the internet." Of his new role, he quipped, "Proper of Guinness to be paying me since I've put my own wages into them since I was 18."

The Dead Zone

The Net

I know this is a perennial topic on DL.

I recently befriended a woman in her mid-60s who is attractive, vivacious, educated, intelligent ... and as I've gotten to know her, I'm increasingly convinced there is something very off about the way she relates to other people. She has also been married twice and both marriages ended disastrously, with allegations of abuse. She is also (probably) an alcoholic. She tends to befriend gay men, in part, I think, because she cannot maintain friendships with other women. I could go on, but she exhibits other classic "borderline" behaviors.

Anyway, tell me your stories, DL. Ultimately, how does one deal with this kind of -- for lack of a better term -- crazy?

What was it about the 1970s that there was so much focus on cults? I remember there being newscasts that talked about "deprogramming" and talk shows that had parents who lost their children to cults. And even Tales of the City made it a plot point in the second installment. What happened to all those cults?

So much hate and anger. Why?

I’m hearing about a hot project that’s brewing over at Amazon/MGM. It comes from talented director Joseph Cedar and already has two A-list actresses attached to star.

Meryl Streep and Sigourney Weaver are set to star in Cedar’s “Useful Idiots,” written by “Thelma & Louise” screenwriter Callie Khouri. No plot details have been released yet, but with this level of talent attached, it’s a film to watch. Production is scheduled to begin in January.

It’s no surprise that these two talented actresses would want to work with Cedar. The Israeli-born filmmaker has consistently excelled at character-driven storytelling, with “Footnote” and “Norman: The Moderate Rise and Tragic Fall of a New York Fixer” as prime examples. ‘Norman,’ an underrated gem featuring a career-best Richard Gere, was Cedar’s last film—almost a decade ago.

Meanwhile, Streep, who hasn’t appeared in a film since 2021’s “Don’t Look Up,” is starting to pile up projects once again. Any whispers of retirement have safely been put on the backburner.

Streep shot “The Devil Wears Prada” sequel this summer, is set to star as Aslan the Lion in Greta Gerwig’s ‘Narnia,’ and is also attached to Cameron Crowe’s Joni Mitchell biopic, set to shoot in late 2026.

In the meantime, try to watch Cedar’s ‘Norman,’ and while you’re at it, the excellent “Footnote.” It’s good to have him back in the fold, and I’ll obviously update my post when more information comes through about this next project.

TCM airs 1959's "Anatomy of a Murder" tonight at 11:30 p.m./ET as part of an evening-long tribute to director Otto Preminger. This then-daring courtroom drama may still raise a few eyebrows, based on an actual event in Upper MI, my neck of the woods! Otto insisted on filming "Anatomy" entirely on location, a first. He also cast a famous judge as one, and giving composer Duke Ellington an on-screen role. Great cast includes James Stewart, Lee Remick, Ben Gazzara, George C. Scott, Eve Arden and more. My look at this intriguing courtroom drama:

Who are the celebs you fancy despite no one classing them as movie star attractive? Mine are Steve Carrell, and Charlie Day from Its always sunny in Philadelphia. It must be the overall package that I like; cos their look isnt what I'd ever fancy. Who are your oddball crushes?

I'm currently visiting a city with magnificent backdrops (think Amsterdam, Venice, Kyoto) and I'm astounded by the behavior of others. Every time I cross a bridge there is some young woman (they usually are) posing with an ice cream cone or a bowl of rice or some other local delicacy. They always fluff their hair over their shoulders -- why oh why do they ALL affect the same pose? It's weird too that the 23 year olds have lip injections. Before I'm accused of being out of it, I realize that standards change and that young people have always been self-conscious but these are the exact opposite. They glory in their uniqueness by acting like everyone else.

Voting equipment company Dominion Voting Systems, a target of false conspiracy theories from President Donald Trump and his supporters since the 2020 election, has been bought by a firm run by a former Republican elections official, the new company announced Thursday.

The newly formed company, Liberty Vote, also vowed to follow the executive order Donald Trump signed last spring seeking sweeping changes to election policies that multiple judges have put on hold for violating the Constitution.

KNOWiNK, a St. Louis-based provider of electronic poll books that allow election officials to confirm voter information, announced the deal and the name change.

I'm very happy to see it come back. I think it's the best work James Gunn has done--it's very witty and fun.

It's one of the few superhero shows to suggest superheroes actually have sex, and it even implies that Peacemaker (John cena) is bisexual. There's a scene in the first season where he wakes up in bed with both a woman and the crazy anti-hero Vigilante next to him, who basically worships him (and is played by the adorable Freddie Stroma).

Samantha Wynn Greenstone knows her husband is gay, okay? She knew he was gay when they met in a San Diego production of “Fiddler on the Roof.” She knew he was gay when he proposed. She knew he was gay when they got married in November. He’s not bisexual. She’s not in denial. That hasn’t stopped them from being in a committed monogamous relationship for nearly 10 years. “If anything, I think we are taking the sanctity of marriage to a whole new level,” said Greenstone, 38, smiling widely as she sat beside her husband, Jacob Hoff, 32, at their home in Los Angeles. That morning, Hoff made Greenstone her new favorite breakfast: an English muffin with egg, cheese and avocado.

An awkward live TV moment for White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller is under heavy scrutiny on social media.

On Monday afternoon, the Donald Trump aide went on CNN’s News Central to discuss the President’s deployment of National Guard troops to U.S. cities.

CNN asked Miller whether the Trump Administration will abide by a district judge’s order blocking the Guard’s deployment in Oregon. “Well, the Administration filed an appeal this morning with the Ninth Circuit,” Miller began. “I would note the Administration won an identical case in the Ninth Circuit just a few months ago with respect to the federalizing of the California National Guard.”

Then, Miller said: “Under Title 10 of the U.S. Code, the President has plenary authority, has—” before making an abrupt stop. Miller blinked several times, with anchor Boris Sanchez calling out his name, though he still did not respond.

*My guess is that Stephen Miller realized what he just admitted on live television or either someone in his earpiece told him to shut the fuck up. Anyway, if there was any question we are in 1930s Germany, there shouldn’t be now.

Who should play her in the inevitable biopic?

I kept thinking of that old thread about everyone's favorite secondary characters from Gone With the Wind we had years ago.

Obviously the leads were great, but to me the very well-written secondary characters created the universe of the show. I'm counting Uncle Junior and Janice Soprano as leads, but of course they were incredible.

Tell me yours. My favorites include:

Johnny & Ginny Sacrimoni

Nucci Gualtieri

Gloria Trillo

And thank god Claire shuts the girls down when she does because by that pointing the episode, they had sung it about three times, each more annoying than the last.

The Israel-Palestine relationship is too complicated to simply be "Pro-Palestine" or "Pro-Israel." Why is everyone so extreme on the topic now? There is so much history and aggression on all sides.

Egypt controlled the Gaza Strip and Jordan ruled the West Bank until 1967;

Since then, both Israel, Palestine, and Hamas have controlled the Strip in some way, while part of the West Bank was annexed to Israel, other parts aren't. Then Jerusalem part of the West Bank has its own problems.

Every President, British Prime Minister, and Secretary of State have spent significant time with Israel and Palestine in some way or another to broker peace. At the 11th hour, one of the countries pulls out for some reason. Sometimes it's frivolous, sometimes it isn't.

Both entities attack each other viciously and two-fold of the last attack. Terrorists in both countries are blood thirsty and will stop at nothing to exterminate their enemy, which leads to innocent people getting slaughtered.

"From the River to the Sea" might represent Palestinian freedom, but it also represents the extermination of an entire sect of people. It is very quasi-coded. It baffles me that so many people don't even know from which river to which sea the chant is talking about.

Israel and Palestine have the right to defend itself, but countries can support Israel/Palestine without supporting how specifically they defend itself.

The rest of the Middle East hates Israel, but certain sects also hate Hamas and Hezbollah.

Both are victims and aggressors.

Anyway, rant over. Do you agree or disagree?

Haha, this fucker is really gone.

At least I’m 99% sure it was him. I flew into Syracuse NY on Friday and out Sunday. When I got to the airport on Sunday, I saw a bunch of cops standing around and I thought there had been a crime just committed. Inside the group of cops I saw two men talking.

I was startled to see one of them was Pete. He was more handsome in person than I’d thought, but also shorter.

I wonder what he was doing in Syracuse of all places?

I'll start. I hate it when characters die and are brought back to life by some form of magic. It's been a constant especially in sci-fi and horror films. It kills the suspense because what it means is no one is at risk.

"A crazed sniper is set to kill spectators at an L.A. Coliseum football championship game and the police race against time to eliminate him."

Diected by: Larry Peerce

Screenplay by: Edward Hume. Based on the novel of the same name by George LaFountaine.

Starring: Charlton Heston, John Cassavetes, Martin Balsam, Beau Bridges, Marilyn Hassett, David Janssen, Jack Klugman, Walter Pidgeon, Gena Rowlands, Brock Peters, David Groh, Anthony Davis and Joe Kapp.

With all the ongoing media circus surrounding Charlie Kirk's murder, I felt the urge of watching films that depict the mass paranoia that a sniper could inflict on large crowds.

The film itself feels like a love-child between "Earthquake" and "Dirty Harry" and it felt really scary to see that the sniper's real motives are never fully known.

The Guardian's headline is sly and kinda funny.

I know it’s a DL joke but tbh since reading about it here I’ve noticed that all my frau friends cradle a mug of something whenever they sit down to do pretty much anything. Once a friend was mug cradling while sitting in a lotus position doing yoga. I almost laughed out loud because it was such a DL iconic moment.

So what’s the obsession with fraus and cradling a big vat of something? I don’t get it. Fraus - give us the tea - in a mug, of course! 😁

Seventeen years have gone by, and I still think the trailer for "The Strangers" is extremely effective and among the best of the genre. The imagery and that skipping record (which has been shamelessly replicated in numerous other films/trailers since) is bone-chilling. What are some others?

Also hate when Americans use British spelling, like favourite. Ok Mary Poppins, give it a rest.

In her own district. Dumped as ambassador to UN and now this. Elise is not having a great year.

Just received a text message from Graham Platner’s campaign. He’s the Democrat running for the U.S. Senate from Maine.

Excerpted from his message:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Nothing pisses me off more than getting a fundraising text from Democrats talking about how they're fighting fascism... Because it's such B.S. We're not idiots. Everyone knows most of them aren't doing jack right now to fight back.

People are being kidnapped into unmarked vans by masked police. There is a genocide happening in Palestine. Literal billionaires have taken over our government. And all Democratic leadership can do is send us another fundraising text?

My name is Graham Platner, and I'm the oyster farmer, Marine Corps veteran, and Democrat running for U.S. Senate against Susan Collins here in Maine. I'm not going to speak in platitudes or shy away from what I believe. There is a war going on in this country, and the oligarchy and the fascists are winning right now.

Susan Collins is the most vulnerable Republican senator in the country. We have an opportunity to replace her with a working-class Democrat - one who won't take money from corporations or AIPAC.

In the history of this nation, power has never been just willingly handed to the people. Another mealy-mouthed Democrat isn't going to fix things or protect our constitution. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

What does anyone here from Maine or familiar with politics in Maine think of this guy’s chances? Are voters in Maine finally sick of Collins and ready to ditch her? Or is her power as a longtime incumbent too great?

I’m poor but I have thrown money at Democrats’ campaigns in North Carolina and Texas and Iowa and elsewhere believing they had serious chances, but I was so wrong. Could Graham Platner have a genuine chance? I do like what I’ve read.

Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your golden hair. Disney is finally moving forward with the live action Tangled.

Disney halted the production in April following the commercial failure of March’s “Snow White” film adaptation. But in the following months, the studio’s “Lilo & Stitch” remake struck a major chord at the box office to the tune of $1 billion globally. A key difference between “Snow White” and “Lilo & Stitch” was cultural relevance (or lack thereof), insiders suggest.

The original “Snow White” was released in 1937 and is no longer the rage with kids today. Meanwhile “Lilo & Stitch,” based on the 2002 film, never waned in popularity; it’s been a top title on Disney+ and, in 2024 alone, drove over $2.6 billion in retail sales. And that towering figure was before the adorable blue agent-of-chaos even returned to the big screen. Clearly the studio is hoping that “Tangled” has a similar cache with younger audiences.

There's no such thing as the "Antifa organization" - it's simply the action of being against fascism.

Since there's no actual organization to be affiliated with, does it mean that they can now designate anyone as a terrorist as they see fit without any material proof?

Like if you join a random anti-Trump parade or anti-oligarchy rally and hold up a sign that says "Fuck Fascism", does that make you a terrorist? Because it certainly sounds like a claim that can be made under this law.

"He passed away peacefully in his noose"

Police in Airdrie, Alberta (just north of Calgary) say this driver hit a 17-year-old girl in a marked crosswalk, got out of the vehicle, and appeared to get upset at the teenager before driving away.

They released this video and are now trying to identify the driver.

Research shows 80. Do you agree?

His name is Enrique but he’s always gone by his nickname, Kike. He is 37 going on 38 this year and has worked on Mexican television since around 2006. He is 6’3 and born and raised in Mexico. He pretty much was employed straight out of college and has remained employed steadily since then. I’m certain his good looks play a role in that.

He went to college to work in television (not acting but hosting and presenting) and has worked steadily. He also worked as an online fitness trainer for a while when he was in his early to mid 20s.

He now co-hosts a popular daytime show in Mexico called “Venga La Alegria”. He joined that tv family last summer, when they added 3 new co-hosts after some leaving/being let go. He left the daytime show (and rival to Venga) Vivalavi to go to the more popular Venga when the opportunity came.

He is now married with 2 kids after years of being a playboy and Bachelor.

[QUOTE]Federal investigators said Rinderknecht had been working as an Uber driver on New Year’s Eve. Two passengers from separate trips told authorities that he “appeared agitated and angry” that night, officials alleged.

[QUOTE]After dropping off a passenger in the Pacific Palisades, investigators say Rinderknecht drove toward the Skull Rock Trailhead, parked his car, attempted to contact a former friend, and walked up the trail.

[QUOTE]“He then used his iPhone to take videos at a nearby hilltop area and listened to a rap song – to which he had listened repeatedly in previous days – whose music video included things being lit on fire,” the Department of Justice said in a statement.

[QUOTE]Sensors detected the Lachman Fire at that location at 12:12 a.m. on January 1. Rinderknecht called 911 several times over the next five minutes, initially unable to connect due to poor cell phone range, authorities allege. He later connected and reported the fire from the bottom of the hiking trail, and then he drove away.

[QUOTE]“Rinderknecht then fled in his car, passing fire engines driving in the opposite direction. He then turned around and followed the fire engines to the scene, driving at a high rate of speed,” the DOJ said. “Rinderknecht walked up the same trail from earlier that night to watch the fire and the firefighters.”

In 1992, her husband, William Jefferson Clinton, became the 42nd President of the United States. A few years after that he cheated on her again and she was able to ride the ensuing wave of sympathy into the U.S. Senate against a weak Republican opponent in an overwhelmingly Democratic state.

In the Senate, she was wildly known as a good listener with an excellent attendance record.

She is Hillary Rodham Clinton.

I only came to realize her existence a few hours ago when I was looking through random French songs on Youtube and saw her performance.

Wow. She was gorgeous when she was young and still looks good today. However, it seems like she doesn't have a real career in France and people just laugh at her. She looks like Angelina Jolie and Vanessa Paradis mixed together. Easily the most beautiful French woman I've ever seen, after Vanessa Paradis.

thank you for your attention to this matter.

The series follows four inseparable Manhattan gals: a horseface with god-awful fashion sense, a voluptuous libertine, a WASP princess, and a dykey redhead.

Thoughts?

Carry on, bitches!

Calling it now. Best Film Oscar. Likely Best Director.

I think that this one will have it all and massively exceed all expectations.

Its a Directors Film as well.

I don't think Hamnet or Sinners or Sentimental Value can win over this one.

I work for a semi large Nationally chartered bank. Over the last couple years the lines between your personal and work life are getting fewer. We have to attest and disclose to any outside activities we have, political parties we belong to, social media sites we post at etc. The Wi-Fi at the office is so locked down you can even get your personal email. AI screens all of our emails and even our teams chats. God forbid we say in a Teams chat "I'll text you after this meeting" within minutes the corporate Gestapo in IT and the "Ethics Office" wants to know what you meant by that! Usually the person means they will IM the colleague on Teams after this meeting is over. We are constantly subjected to online tests and training about conflicts of interests, basically saying the bank owns you. It's getting crazy. Can't blame Trump as this shit was escalating before he was elected. Anyone else seeing this type of stuff in the workplace? It's borderline slavery IMO.

Starting this thread because today I discovered that Bobby Caldwell isn’t black. Apparently everyone knew but me haha. For decades I had even assumed What You Won’t Do For Love was by Stevie Wonder.

What a phenomenal voice.

I get it, you're thrilled the 20 remaining Israeli hostages ALLEGEDLY will be released. But to go on and on about how "unprecedented" it is how Trump is kicking Bebe's ass is a bit much.

Especially as at the same time that man is DESTROYING this country. Are any of the remaining hostages American?

Because if/when they return they will NOT recognize the country they left only two years ago.

And fuck a Nobel Peace Prize if Trump gets one. Hell, Jesse Jackson got many hostages freed from various foreign despots, and he doesn't have one.

Donald Trump declared he plans to send the National Guard into Chicago after the city experienced a violent Labor Day weekend.

“We’re going in,” Trump said during a briefing at the Oval Office on Sept. 2. “I didn’t say when.”

"Look, I have an obligation," the president told reporters. "This isn't a political thing. I have an obligation."

Former FBI Director James Comey is expected to be indicted on criminal charges in the coming days in federal court in Virginia, MSNBC reported.

The expected indictment comes on the heels of a top prosecutor resigning under pressure after opposing the filing of charges against Comey, who for years has been a target of President Donald Trump's ire.

Despite measures to continue operations and preserve pending contracts with libraries, the book distributor Baker & Taylor (B&T), a longtime fixture in the library technology industry, will shutter.

B&T, founded in 1828, was considered one of the largest distributors of print and audiovisual materials for libraries, serving more than 4,000 institutional customers and employing more than 900 people. In addition to its role as a distributor of materials, the company offered Customized Library Services for shelf-ready materials, the BTCat cataloging utility, and a variety of other products and services for libraries and publishers. After changing hands a handful of times since 1970, B&T had been owned since 2021 by an investment group led by Kochar.

The company’s recent challenges included a major cyberattack in 2022 that interrupted B&T’s services, as well as downturns in library orders because of the pandemic. Earlier this year, the company’s main creditor, CIT Northbridge Credit LLC, declared the loans that supported the company’s operations in default. When the sale to ReaderLink was announced last month, the deal included only B&T’s assets, not its outstanding debts. Publishers Weekly spoke to several publishers and suppliers who said they had unsettled invoices with B&T, and were not sure how those debts might be repaid.

This business closure represents an extraordinarily disruptive event for public libraries, which will have lost one of their major channels for acquiring materials. Many publishers will also have to scramble to establish arrangements with other distributors and risk losses of inventory held in B&T warehouses.

As the Supreme Court on Oct. 8 discussed a woman’s claim that postal workers conducted a two-year campaign of racial harassment against her, one justice raised concerns about allowing lawsuits like hers to move forward. “What will the consequences be if all these suits are filed and they have to be litigated?” Justice Samuel Alito asked. “Is the cost of a first-class letter going to be $3 now?” The crux of the issue is whether the immunity Congress gave the U.S. Postal Service for mail delivery problems covers mere mistakes or also acts alleged to be intentional.

Dozens of Bob Ross paintings will be auctioned to help American public television stations following sweeping cuts to federal funding for public broadcasters earlier this year.

Thirty of the late artist’s works are being offered for sale by American Public Television in auctions starting Nov. 11. The syndicator of programming for public television stations has pledged that 100 percent of the net sale proceeds will benefit stations run by APT and PBS, the auction house Bonhams said in a statement.

Time to boycott Lane Fertility!

After going through the arduous and sometimes painful process of donating their eggs to a Bay Area fertility clinic, a growing number of women allege they were paid late or never paid at all by the clinic’s owner.

Despite legal agreements with Lane Fertility stipulating they would be paid within three months of post-donation follow-up visits, nine separate women who spoke to NBC Bay Area’s Investigative Unit described being ghosted by Dr. Danielle Lane when their compensation was due.

While some of the women were eventually paid by Lane Fertility, they said that only happened after attorneys wrote demand letters to the clinic on their behalf.

“On this most recent cycle, I was counting on my compensation to pay for my schooling and pay off the remaining debt so I could sign up for more classes,” said Kaytlyn Becker, who said she wasn’t paid for her latest egg donation until NBC Bay Area reached out to Lane Fertility about her case. “And I’ve missed that deadline.”

Becker, 24, donated for the first time three years ago, inspired to go through the process after someone close to her faced infertility. She chose to donate through Lane Fertility, which operates clinics in San Francisco and Novato, after coming across an ad for the clinic on social media, where Lane frequently posts videos encouraging women to donate their eggs.

“They ask you about your GPA, if you have any special talent, your health history, all sorts of stuff to see if you qualify for being an egg donor,” Becker said. “And if you pass the health background for genetic diseases, then they move you on to the next process.”

But Becker said the process takes a toll, describing hormone injections that led to side effects such as extreme bloating, cramps and headaches.

While she alleged she was paid late after her first donation back in 2022, Becker decided to go through the process for a third time with Lane Fertility earlier this year, saying she signed an agreement with the clinic that would pay her $6,000 within 90 days of her post-donation follow-up visit.

As of early September, Becker said that payment was five months behind schedule.

“They blocked my phone number,” Becker said. “They don’t respond to my emails. I am struggling to get in contact with Dr. Lane. And when I do get in contact with her, it’s just her saying, ‘We’ll pay you later, we’ll pay you later.’”

Becker said she was finally paid in September after NBC Bay Area reached out to Lane Fertility multiple times about her accusations, though the clinic never responded to NBC Bay Area’s questions about Becker’s case and those of the other donors.

Becker is far from alone. Her story has been echoed by several other patients of Lane, some of whom traveled from other states to donate their eggs through the fertility clinic.

“They never paid my medical debt,” one of them said. “And they never reimbursed me for transportation or the food costs that were fronted from out of pocket.”

Another patient, speaking Spanish, said, “We go through pain with no reward.”

This sounds really good!

But, I will say, in prior years, I had virtually no effect from the shot other than a mild headache that went away by the next morning. This time, it's hitting me a lot harder. I wonder if fat protects you? I've lost about 10% body fat in the past year.

Only one cousin is in a position of power — and his family can only watch helplessly as he destroys much that they stood for.

by Reeves Wiedeman, New York Magazine published August 25, 2025

Ethel Kennedy’s death in October at 96 was the end of a trying few years. Her health had been in decline, and she had confined herself to living full time in Hyannis, the longtime family compound on Cape Cod. In the summer of 2024, her immune system was so compromised that she couldn’t attend the wedding of her granddaughter Mariah Kennedy Cuomo, even though it was being held at her home. “Normally, Ethel would be a part of everything,” one attendee said. “But all she could do was sit on this enclosed balcony and wave at people.”

Ethel’s son Bobby was there, too, although many of the other wedding guests weren’t in a mood to talk to him. Ethel’s relationship with her third child, named for her beloved husband, had always been tempestuous. When Bobby was a young man, she regularly threw him out of the house for drug use and other chaotic behavior; when he was 13, a coatimundi he kept as a pet attacked Ethel and sent her into premature labor with his brother Douglas. In high school, after Ethel excoriated him for getting arrested for marijuana possession in Hyannis, he packed up and drove west without telling anyone in his family where he was going, eventually selling his car and hopping freight trains. Bobby seemed to relish the chance to break away from his family and ride the rails with the other vagabonds. “I could be one of them,” he said later. “And not be a Kennedy.”

Bobby and Ethel eventually made amends. He got sober, and Ethel became a booster of his environmental work. Bobby similarly came to appreciate his mother, writing in his 2018 memoir, American Values: Lessons I Learned From My Family, that her “sharp rebukes no longer trouble me.” That comment goes some way to explaining why Bobby was undaunted by any reservations Ethel had to his plans, announced in the spring of 2023, to challenge Joe Biden for the Democratic presidential nomination.

Ethel never spoke publicly about her son’s campaign, but everyone saw the effect it had. “The one who was brokenhearted — and the family won’t talk about it, but I saw it up close — was Ethel,” a longtime family friend said. She had devoted her life to supporting the Democratic Party, which RFK Jr. was now undermining with his insurgent, conspiracy-riddled, anti-government candidacy. Just a week before Bobby announced his run, President Biden, who had been close to the Kennedys for decades and kept a bust of Ethel’s husband, Robert F. Kennedy Sr., in the Oval Office, had called Ethel from Air Force One to wish her a happy 95th birthday, as he did every year, while flying to Belfast with her grandson Joe Kennedy III, who was serving as his special envoy to Northern Ireland. When Bobby made his candidacy public, Ethel called Biden to apologize for her wayward son. “You don’t have to,” Biden said. “I know about these things.”

I was returning home this afternoon after lunch with friends. I got on the subway train, and stood for two stops. Then, I saw a seat was empty so walked to it and sat down.

I hadn’t noticed a woman standing up next to the seat. Either way, because the relatively long time between someone getting out of the seat, and my moving half the length of the subway to sit there, one would think, if she wanted the seat, she would have had plenty of time to take it. She said, to the guys on either side of me “Some people can be so rude. Maybe ask me if I want a seat.” Either way, just then, the seat behind her opened up and she sat down.

That wasn’t the weird part. I figure, in NYC, it’s first come first serve, bitch. If you don’t act immediately, you lose out. THOSE are the rules here.

The guy on my left, who, on closer look, seems sort of mental. Started mumbling about how she’s right. Then he yelled to her “You’re right.” Then he kept mumbling about “homo” and “lots of homo-niggers” (Im white). I thought about engaging—mainly loudly asking “Ma’am, would you like this seat so you can sit next to psycho?!” I got up to leave after two more stops, and mental-man called out “homo!”

I’m angry, but this could have also ended in his stabbing me. Can’t I fucking just live in peace?!

Good news for fundies running "ex-gay" clinics!

Virginia Republicans are offering voters one of the most paradoxical statewide tickets in recent memory. Winsome Earle-Sears, the state’s Black lieutenant governor and now the GOP’s gubernatorial nominee, is running alongside John Reid, a white, gay conservative radio host seeking the lieutenant governorship. Reid’s longtime partner, Alonzo Mable, who is Black, serves on Virginia’s LGBTQ+ Advisory Board.

The ticket is historic in its visibility—Reid would be Virginia’s first out gay statewide officeholder and Earle-Sears the first woman governor—but it also highlights stark contradictions. Earle-Sears has a long record of opposing the very rights that Reid and Mable embody as a couple.

A record of opposition

In 2004, while running for Congress, Earle-Sears completed a questionnaire from Public Advocate of the United States, a northern Virginia–based far-right group known for pushing anti-LGBTQ+ legislation. According to archived survey results, first reported by Virginia Mercury, she pledged to stop same-sex couples from adopting children, to refuse to hire what the survey described as “homosexual activists,” and to block any effort by same-sex couples to receive tax benefits through joint filings. She said she would reject support from “the homosexual lobby,” back a federal constitutional amendment banning marriage equality, oppose adding sexual orientation to nondiscrimination laws, and vote against hate crimes protections.

The survey further asked whether homosexuality is “an immoral lifestyle choice,” to which she answered yes. She also said she would support impeaching judges who “legislate the homosexual agenda from the bench.”

Two decades later, echoes of that opposition remain. Last year, while presiding over the Virginia Senate, Earle-Sears signed a bipartisan marriage equality measure but wrote in the official record that she was “morally opposed.”

Her public appearances reinforce those views. Earle-Sears addressed Regent University’s 2025 commencement, where school policies explicitly denounce homosexuality, and she is slated to appear at Atlantic Shores Christian School, which bars LGBTQ students. She has also praised The Family Foundation, a conservative group opposed to abortion rights, no-fault divorce, and marriage equality.

Earle-Sears’s time as lieutenant governor has also featured public clashes over LGBTQ+ respect. In 2024, she misgendered Sen. Danica Roem, Virginia’s first out transgender state senator, during a Senate session. Though she offered a brief apology, the incident highlighted the dismissiveness that queer and trans Virginians still encounter in state government.

Reid and Mable’s visibility Reid’s candidacy has been both a milestone and a controversy. Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin urged him to withdraw earlier this year after allegations circulated linking him to explicit online content, which Reid denied. He accused Republican insiders of attempting to extort him and refused to step aside.

Mable has become an increasingly visible figure in the campaign. Beyond appearing with Reid at events, Mable serves on Virginia’s LGBTQ+ Advisory Board, which ostensibly advises state leaders on policies affecting queer residents.

Federal prosecutors are preparing to ask a grand jury to indict former FBI Director James Comey on perjury charges, but have just days to make a final decision, according to people familiar with the investigation.

The investigation, run by federal prosecutors at the US Attorney’s Office for Virginia’s eastern district, is examining whether Comey made false statements during his September, 30, 2020, testimony to Congress on his handling of the investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 US presidential election, people familiar with the matter said. Prosecutors, under criminal law, generally would only have five years to the day to bring a charge.

If it's spring, it must be a shot of Mike Holmes Jr. in a swimsuit.

What made him do gay porn?

He had a pretty solid career prior to that.

According to his Wiki:

[quote] Geoffreys first began acting on the stage. In 1984, he was nominated for Broadway's Tony Award for "Best Performance by a Featured Actor in a Musical" for his performance in a play based on The Human Comedy. For this role, he won the Theatre World Award in 1984.

[quote] Geoffreys appeared in several horror and teen films in the 1980s, most notably Heaven Help Us (1985) as well as Fraternity Vacation and 976-EVIL with the director/actor Robert Englund from A Nightmare on Elm Street in 1989. He also played a supporting part in the critically acclaimed drama At Close Range in 1986. He is best known for playing the teenage misfit-turned vampire "Evil" Ed in the 1985 vampire horror film Fright Night, also starring Roddy McDowall, William Ragsdale, and Chris Sarandon. Geoffreys was asked to reprise his role in Fright Night Part 2 but turned it down to play the lead role in 976-EVIL

Then he went into porn.

He was really cute in Fright Night. Very attractive. He was also the most compelling character in the movie.

Which makes it even more strange that his career took the path that it did.

I am driving my friends and co workers crazy responding to every question with-

Who, Mae Martin?

What do you want for dinner?

Who? Mae Martin?

How are you this morning?

Who? Mae Martin?

We did this when I was a kid to drive people crazy. We had this idiot who had to cart us around for some summer community service program that we volunteered for in junior high- 1992 or something- And we would respond with

Who, Nell Carter? to every question.. (That was my idea-I was clearly gay.)

After the 130th "WHO? NELL CARTER?" Finally this chick lost it and screamed "WHY DO YOU KEEP SAYING THAT!!! THAT SHOW IS NOT EVEN ON ANYMORE!!!"

I presume she meant Gimme a Break. Well its still on on RE-RUNS BITCH!!!!

The second film from the Phillipou brothers after their directorial debut "Talk to Me", it stars Sally Hawkins as a foster mother who is (apparently) trying to resurrect her dead child by means of witchcraft. I thought "Talk to Me" was a pretty good horror film, but this looks much better. Hawkins is a good actress. I plan on seeing it Thursday night.

With Labelle! And Mac Davis!

Game Wardens with Texas Parks and Wildlife arrested Ethan McNeely, a 39 year old Oregon transplant, yesterday after discovering him crouched in the woods below the dam at Lake Tawakoni attempting to hunt squirrels with nothing but his bare hands and teeth.

McNeely, who insists he’s “a primal predator, not a sportsman,” argued with officers that his “God-given claws and fangs” exempt him from needing a hunting license. “If I catch it with my molars, that’s between me and Mother Nature,” he reportedly told wardens while spitting out a mouthful of bark.

Authorities were not convinced. TPWD officials say that while McNeely’s hunting technique is unique, state law doesn’t make exceptions for “wannabe cavemen.” He was booked on charges of hunting without a license and disorderly conduct after growling at the officers.

McNeely maintains he’s being persecuted. [bold] “They can cage me,” he said, “but they’ll never cage my inner wolf!”

Does anyone else hate singers who do this? Sing the fucking song the way it was written. Are they just trying to cover up imperfections or forgetting the instrumentation? It must make the conductor furious. It reminds me of singers who point the mic to the audience so they don’t have to sing. It’s only the big belters who pull this crap. I remember The Simpsons making fun of black singers wailing and singing gibberish turning a 2 minute national anthem into 14 minutes.

This crowd-funded independent horror film is releasing later this month by Neon. It was written and directed by Chris Stuckmann, who is mostly known as a film reviewer on YouTube. It was apparently completed 1-2 years ago, but was slightly retooled with some input from Mike Flanagan. There is a lot of hype behind it which strikes me as a bit gimmicky, but I am cautiously optimistic. The reviews seem to be mixed. It does have a few notable actors, including Brendan Sexton III, Michael Beach, and Keith David.

"Health Challenges." Uh, oh. Lots of people were wondering about the residency because her entire show is essentially prerecorded, even her playing musical instruments but her age, 79, always seemed to be more of an issue.

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

Anybody else get oddly entertained by these?

Moonlighting.

I was in my twenties in the 80s and still never watched it.

Experts say Alliance Defending Freedom, arguing to revive ‘conversion therapy’, ‘profoundly misrepresented’ their work in case threatening trans and queer youth.

Lawyers from Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), which has opposed abortion and LGBTQ+ rights in high-profile litigation, are representing a woman challenging a 2019 Colorado law that prohibited conversion practices for youth under age 18. The ban applies to licensed clinicians who seek to change a patient’s sexual orientation or gender identity, tactics medical groups have discredited as harmful and ineffective. ADF’s petition in the case, Chiles v Salazar, cited several scholars to support its argument that conversion practices should once again be permitted. Two of those experts, however, told the Guardian that ADF had “profoundly” misrepresented their research, which discussed the “psychological damage” of conversion therapy. The family of a deceased researcher, also quoted by ADF, said they were “deeply disturbed” by the “distortion” of his work. “This is the most upsetting use of my scholarship that has ever happened in my career,” said Clifford Rosky, a University of Utah professor of constitutional law and civil rights. He has worked to ban conversion practices, but ADF nonetheless cited his research on sexual orientation and LGBTQ+ rights, co-authored with renowned sexuality researcher Dr Lisa Diamond, to bolster its petition. “It’s upsetting because this is lethally dangerous to LGBTQ+ kids,” he said.

Jeffrey Rackover, a famed New York jeweler to the stars, took James Rackover under his wing, supporting him like a father would. On November 13, 2016, James threw a party in his Manhattan apartment, where 26-year-old Joseph “Joey” Comunale came as a guest. That night, Comunale was stabbed repeatedly and later burned and buried in a shallow grave across the river in New Jersey. James Rackover and his accomplice, Lawrence Dilione, were soon arrested, sending shockwaves through the Upper East Side. In 2018, James was convicted of second-degree murder and related charges, receiving a sentence of 28 years to life.

Amid the fallout, Comunale’s father sued Jeffrey Rackover, claiming he aided in covering up the crime with cleaning supplies, a car, and other alleged interference. Rackover denied all accusations, insisting he had no involvement in the murder or its aftermath. As of the latest reports, the civil lawsuit remains unresolved, and there is no record of any settlement being paid. Meanwhile, James Rackover’s conviction was affirmed on appeal in 2025, leaving his sentence intact. Jeffrey Rackover continues his life and career as a jeweler, publicly active and uncharged, despite the shadows cast by one of Manhattan’s most notorious crimes.

Glad Jeffrey's GAY for PAY adopted son lost his appeal and will rot away longer now. Any word if Jeffie is a DL poster? It wouldn't surprise me at all.

The writers are all former U.S. surgeons general.

As former U.S. surgeons general appointed by every Republican and Democratic president since George H.W. Bush, we have collectively spent decades in service as the Nation’s Doctor. We took two sacred oaths in our lifetimes: first, as physicians who swore to care for our patients and, second, as public servants who committed to protecting the health of all Americans.

Today, in keeping with those oaths, we are compelled to speak with one voice to say that the actions of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. are endangering the health of the nation. Never before have we issued a joint public warning like this. But the profound, immediate and unprecedented threat that Kennedy’s policies and positions pose to the nation’s health cannot be ignored.

For those who do not know. Young Catholics around their early teens go through a sacrament called Confirmation. Think Bar Mitzvah, with shitty presents or a quinceanara without the gaudy dress. But you get a party at the closest Golden Corral Buffet. And YOU GET TO CHOOSE A NAME! You will never use it again, and it is not a legal moniker, but you get to pick it. I’m still not sure if it goes before or after your middle name. The catch is it must be a saint’s name. No Kai or Rowan. I picked Sebastian because he was the hottest in my Book of Saints.

"The Birkin Bag is the ultimate status symbol: wildly expensive, ridiculously hard to get and immediately identifiable. Real Housewives collect it, hip-hop artists rap about it and “Sex and the City” once devoted an episode to it.

Yet, according to Marisa Meltzer’s new biography, “It Girl: The Life and Legacy of Jane Birkin” (Atria Books, out Tuesday), the woman who inspired the pricey Hermés purse was the ultimate bohemian — and a scandalous one at that."

Long, depressing CNN article about the newly resurgent "ex-gay" movement.

'Conversion therapy is still practiced in nearly every state, monitoring groups say. Efforts by right-wing lawmakers to repeal city and state-wide bans have claimed their first successes. And former leaders of the “ex-gay” religious movement told CNN the practice is enjoying a resurgence — this time in more cloaked, subtle, secretive forms.'

'Soon the ex-gay movement will have its day in court. A challenge to Colorado’s law prohibiting conversion therapy on minors is under consideration by the Supreme Court, in a case that imperils all existing bans against conversion therapy in the US. Justices are expected to hear arguments this fall, with a ruling expected by next June.'
