NEW YORK (PIX11) — The final major independent poll before Primary Day in New York City shows Queens Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani passing former Gov. Andrew Cuomo in the last round of a ranked-choice voting simulation.

The survey of Democratic mayoral primary of early voters and likely voters from PIX11 News, Emerson College, and The Hill shows Mamdani winning in the final round, 52%, to Cuomo’s 48%.

He also wants to establish a medical clinic specifically devoted to the needs of trans sex workers.

YUM.

Don't care how, I want it now!

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.

What do we think of the legendary Ms. Franklin?

I've been watching a lot of her classic clips on Youtube lately. She had a spotty reputation as a live performer back in the 70's and 80's. Constant cancellations, sometimes showing up and just phoning it in, badly paced shows (often incorporating misguided ballet and dance routines into her numbers), tacky dresses But when she brought it, she brought it. The last fifteen to twenty years saw her give some of the best shows of her career.

Recording wise, her Atlantic 1967-1974 period is arguably one of the strongest of any musical act bar none. She had moments of brilliance on Columbia and Arista but nothing topped this.

So many of her TV clips are her at her best. Love this Carson appearance doing "It's My Turn". On point and looking fabulous.

What other secrets are waiting to be revealed about the unraveling of Anita and the Articulates. And will their reunion tour actually come off.

What disguise is Leslie wearing today to commit her latest nefarious plot?

How will Eva adjust to being the apple of Ted's eye after being told he was the enemy for so long?

When will Martin's deeply held secret finally come to light?

How many times is Bill going to end up in the hospital before he gets proper treatment? And what will Dani do when she learns of Bill's latest heath scares.

This is the place to discuss Beyond the Gates.

Jonathan Bailey felt pressure serving as leading man of a major blockbuster.

The Bridgerton alum stars opposite Scarlett Johansson in this summer's dinosaur action sequel Jurassic World Rebirth. In a new cover story for The Hollywood Reporter, Bailey admits he has felt the "weight" of co-headlining the movie as an out gay actor.

“There’s moments where, yes, you have to be excellent to prove that you can do it. And it’s not like I haven’t felt that. There’s the weight of history," he told the outlet. "And there’s endless brilliant people who have come before you who have changed the way that people see sexuality."

A place where we ponder everything about The Young & the Restless (Y&R) and wonder why we're still watching America's No. 1 daytime soap opera!

So which reason is it? - Hoping to see Conner Floyd in his underwear? - Imagining JaBottom's unseen Grindr hookups? - Praying for gay Fen to show up for the holidays?

Or maybe you tune in for the Sharon Case Daily Face Update? - Or just enjoy hate-watching The Stafford and her tiresome shtick? - Or simply love seeing the always-perturbed Aunt Jack just being Aunt Jack?

And of course, everyone is surely tuning-in for the greatly-anticipated Traci & Alan sex scene, as well as hoping to see seventy-somethings Aunt Jordan & Ian Ward fuck like rabbits as well. And let's not forget the always-lovable Messa!

Ex-President Bill Clinton on Sunday endorsed his former Housing secretary, Andrew Cuomo, in the Big Apple’s mayoral primary, describing the city as in “crisis’’ and his pal as a “competent leader.”

In a robocall released by Cuomo’s campaign, the Democratic former commander in chief urged New Yorkers to back the ex-governor in the Tuesday’s Dem showdown.

“The election will decide the next mayor of New York, and I urge you to vote for Andrew Cuomo,” Clinton said in the recorded message. “As president, I chose Andrew to be my secretary of Housing and Urban Development, and he never let me down.”

We've discussed this in threads throughout the past couple of years. It's not our imagination, it's really happening. Zoomers, who were brought up with no socialization skills from the day they were born, are now in the 'work world' and have no idea how to greet a customer and conduct minimal socialization with them.

"A person shared a time they went to a restaurant and were met with “The Stare from a hostess (and what really even is their job other than to greet you?).” When they asked for a table for two, the hostess wordlessly led them into the dining room.

“Now — is she showing me to my table? Checking for availability? Quitting on the spot?” the person questioned.

“Why do more and more workers just hit you with the fluoride stare like it’s unnatural that a customer would walk into a place of business,” another pointed out."

Prince William will strip his exiled brother Prince Harry’s children of their HRH titles when he becomes king after a provocative briefing by the exiled royal “flabbergasted” royal insiders.

The suggestion was tucked away in a report by The Guardian almost 10 days ago, which reported: “Prince Harry wants to keep the HRH titles for his children so that when they grow older they can decide for themselves whether they want to become working royals, or stay out of public life.”

The line about the HRH (His/Her Royal Highness) titles was not widely noticed by individuals in the royal circle until it was flagged by the Daily Mail’s Richard Eden this week, after which it flew around royal friends’ WhatsApp groups.

Kevin Costner's ex-wife, Christine Baumgartner, is set to walk down the aisle again almost two years after finalizing their divorce.

However, her upcoming wedding is reportedly causing tensions with her and Costner's mutual friends as they pick sides between the former couple.

Earlier this year, it was confirmed that Christine Baumgartner had become engaged to Kevin Costner's former close friend, financier Josh Connor, a move that left the actor feeling "sucker-punched."

Fans of actor Jonathan Bennett turned out to be very attentive, even extremely so. They noticed Jonathan Bennett’s nude real penis in a cup of coffee he had in the morning infront to the pool. He shared it all in his Instagram stories. For us, it’s a treat, and to be honest, the size of his cock is impressive, I can only envy his boyfriend! But Jonathan Bennett didn’t stop there. He also filmed his shadow while taking off his shorts, and of course his impressive cock popped out.

This one was random. No COD released yet. I liked her.

All your questions answered.

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

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

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

While the classic ’80s sitcom “The Golden Girls” has amassed a large gay following, former writer Stan Zimmerman said that the set itself was not as open as some might assume. One co-worker even told Zimmerman to burn thrifted sweaters from a garage sale because they had probably belonged to “somebody that died of AIDS.” But the writer — who later worked on “Gilmore Girls” — said that was just “the climate then.”

“I know you see all these progressive scenes and you think, ‘Oh, it was one big gay party there,’ but we couldn’t be who we really were,” Zimmerman explained during a Pride LIVE! Hollywood panel (via The Hollywood Reporter). He said that their representatives even advised them to stay in the closet. But he added there was one titular “Golden Girls” gay crew members couldn’t fool.

“Our first day on the set, we noticed Estelle [Getty] come running toward us, and she’s like … ‘I know. Your secret’s safe with me. You’re one of us.’ I thought she meant Jewish,” he laughed. “But she meant gay. She wasn’t gay, but she was probably the first ally ever.” Getty was already deeply entrenched in the queer community, having played Harvey Fierstein’s mother in Broadway’s “Torch Song Trilogy,” the landmark play (and later film) about a gay, Jewish drag performer.

Bea Arthur, too, seemed to have a finely tuned queer radar. Script supervisor Isabel Omero would later come out as transgender decades later, and at one point during the show’s long run Arthur offered Omero a sari she had received on a trip to India.

“In my closeted, panicked, paranoid brain, all I knew is that at that moment Bea Arthur was offering me a dress to wear around the house, and I wish I had been in a place where I could have said something, to even accept the gift without ever using it, just so I could express something to someone,” Omero said during the panel. “But fear and shame is a big thing.”

The Commonwealth's conspiracy did not work. She got probation for drunk driving.

Will she be a rainmaker for this guy who has nothing but contempt for Israel? The rest of the Dem party out in the flyover states are quietly hoping they both fade away. Will this take votes from Cuomo?

I'm catching up and winding down with some of my favorite streamers over the past few weeks. So far, I finished 'Hacks', 'The Handmaid's Tale', 'Godfather of Harlem' (season 4 ended today - best show on TV), have the remaining episodes of 'Poker Face' as well as 'Lincoln Lawyer'.

Someone told me 'From' is very good and worth the watch - three seasons so far ( a fourth is being filmed this summer). Has anyone watched it yet ? Is it worth watching ? I kinda trust this friend's taste (she's given some good suggestions in the past) but not sure about this one for some reason.

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.

I’m a couple of chapters in, and it is DL-worthy.

"Guests were invited to participate in “community-building breakout sessions,” as they called them, which included salsa lessons, improv, a storytelling workshop and board games."

"Guests were instructed to fill out a questionnaire before the wedding and were sent a spreadsheet listing the other guests and their LinkedIn profiles."

Three years after he slapped comedian Chris Rock on stage at the Oscars, Will Smith says making a mistake so publicly was "brutal".

"The last few years for me have been really deep reflection," the actor tells 1Xtra's Remi Burgz. "After the Oscars I shut it down for a minute and really went into the internal work and just taking a big, strong, honest look at myself."

"For the first time in my career, [I was] having to deal with a level of disapproval that I never had to experience," Will says. "The addiction to the approval of others that I had to dissolve, it was brutal."

Vice President JD Vance said he can "empathize with Americans who are exhausted after 25 years of foreign entanglements...But the difference is that back then, we had dumb presidents."

Vance argued that President Donald Trump’s recent bombing of Iran is different from past “entanglements in the Middle East” because Vance believes Trump is smart.

Vance’s remarks came on NBC’s ‘Meet the Press with Kristen Welker’ on Sunday as he defended Trump’s unilateral decision to insert the U.S. in Israel’s war on Iran, a move that numerous lawmakers have condemned or called unconstitutional.

Elijah Blue Allman overdosed in Southern California this weekend ... TMZ has learned.

Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ ... the son of Cher and the late Gregg Allman was rushed to the hospital in Joshua Tree, CA after overdosing earlier Saturday morning. We don't know what drugs he was using.

We're told he's still in the hospital and receiving the best care possible ... and, he's very lucky to have survived.

Our sources say, just like any mother, Cher's only concern right now is for her son's well-being, and she's doing everything she can to get him the help he needs.

Elijah's detailed his struggle with substance abuse issues in the past ... revealing in a 2014 interview that he started taking drugs when he was just 11 years old.

During the interview Elijah said he had several close calls with overdosing ... saying, "I did have some close calls and some moments of really feeling at the edge of mortality ... I always kind of kept it a little bit safe but you never can do that."

During a candid appearance on "Watch What Happens Live!," Ramos, who starred in the original 2015 Broadway cast as both John Laurens and Alexander Hamilton's ill-fated son Philip, recalled a particularly "terrifying" celebrity audience member, Madonna.

"The most terrifying was Madonna with her iPad in her face," Ramos said bluntly when host Andy Cohen asked about star-studded audiences. "She was like this the whole time," he added, mimicking her staring at a device. "I was like, 'Damn, shorty. If you not enjoying it that much, you know the door's right there. You ain't gotta stay here.'"

Creator Lin-Manuel Miranda appeared to reference her in a now-deleted tweet at the time, writing, "Tonight was the first time I asked stage management NOT to allow a celebrity (who was texting all through Act 2) backstage. #noselfieforyou."

Depp said, “Oh man, my kids growing up in the south of France in their youth?” He spoke warmly about fatherhood: “I was Papa. I cannot tell you how much I loved being Papa.”

With a touch of humor, he added, “Then, suddenly, Papa was out the window. I was Dad. But Papa was awesome, and I’m getting old enough for Papa to possibly come back. Some motherf-----’s going to have to call me Papa!”

The 62-year-old actor and French singer Vanessa Paradis were together for 14 years before parting ways in 2012. During their relationship, they raised their children privately on an estate near St. Tropez, which Depp bought in 2001. The family later relocated to Los Angeles.

When asked where he now calls “home,” Depp said he rarely spends time in the U.S., splitting his time between the U.K. and the Bahamas. Still, he described their years in France as the only place he truly felt a sense of belonging. Truly, the first time I felt I had a home was the place in the south of France where Vanessa and I raised the kiddies. That’s the only place that ever felt like home,” Depp explained.

I never went to see this when it hit theaters in the Spring of 1982, and only saw part of it when it aired endlessly on HBO throughout the 1980s. I finally recorded this on TCM a few weeks ago and watched it last night - and it was pretty good. It was very well-cast (never knew James Garner could be such a sexy leading man) and well-acted. I don't think it hit the comedy as well as it could have (it was more chuckles than hearty-laughs) . It's been billed as one of the last MGM 'musicals' yet it really isn't a musical (in which at least two characters sing to each other), so it's more like a 'film with music' (such as Streisand's 'A Star Is Born' and 'Yentl'). The movie was first conceived my husband and wife team Blake Edwards and Julie Andrews in 1978, yet took four years to bring to the screen (one reason was Peter Sellers, originally cast as 'Toddy' passed away).

It was nominated for many Oscars, and won one (I think 'best original music'). What do DLrs think ? Has it aged well over 40 years ? Did anyone see the Broadway musical which got mixed reviews in 1995 ?

Buried in the soon-to-be legendary “Golden Girls” Hollywood Reporter story was the fact that producers offered self-professed “Golden Girls” fan Cher the role of Sophia’s son Phil’s wife “Big Sally” for a gust appearance.

Her response? Nothing. Not even the courtesy of declining.

Cher, apparently, was too busy riding Richie Sambora’s dick, doing humiliating infomercials for Lori Davis hair care products and neglecting her fucked up kids to bother to even respond.

What a bitch.

The link is the same as the main story because no other outlet has picked up on this factoid that’s quite deep into the story. No one can be bothered to read anymore.

Every day Cher seems more despicable, unprofessional and self-centered than the day before.

This show was a big surprise- very watchable and compelling. The men were very hot - the son Cain (Jake Wreary), the DEA agent, the bastard gay son, the crooked developer - not only lots of eye candy but a great story as well.

"The Long, Hot Summer" was Fox's southern saga answer to "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" back in '58. Paul Newman got to play the sexy stud, whereas Tony Franciosa got to play the immature Brick-type. Sadly, Orson Welles may be big here, but he's no Big Daddy like Burl Ives! Joanne Woodward plays an old maid, but there's Lee Remick as a Maggie the Cat type. Watchable for the cast, scenery, and Paul & Joanne's first teaming. My take here:

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

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

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

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

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

Fuck…

Last month, Miller walked the red carpet for the first time at the Cannes Film Festival after an almost two-year hiatus away from the spotlight.

In a rare interview, Miller admitted they haven't given up on returning to the big screen. Although they didn't go into details, they confirmed it would happen on "tentative grounds."

What a tragedy in light of another war. The Trump family did so want to sacrifice one of its own and serve the country.

Shocking NBA development. The Buss family has been incredibly unpopular after Jerry Buss passed and his family were seen as not so lovable screw-ups. The family also didn't have as much money at their disposal as other clubs. That's all changed. The Buss family has sold the LA Lakers to Mark Walter of Guggenheim. Under Guggenheim, he also owns the Dodgers who have seen unprecedented growth because of their creativeness in negotiating salaries especially for Superstar Shohei Ohtani. Although the LA Lakers are considered #8 on the Forbes list of most valuable sports franchises, it's likely that Walter is looking for that #1 spot occupied by the Dallas Cowboys. #2 is occupied by the Golden State Warriors. Ironically, the GSW is minority owned by Peter Guber who said it was his lifelong dream to own the Lakers.

It is a dark time for the very heterosexual city of Los Angeles, in which Hobo Ridge and his wrinkled face somehow still captivates both The Slut from the Valley and yet another recast of his other ho, NuTaylor of Cameltoe.

Wafting throughout the city is the rank odor of Daphne, a perfume expert who can be smelled twenty miles away, making it impossible for her to eavesdrop on nearby conversations. All are looking for one thing that may heal their galaxy: the cure to Zende's explosion from twink to obese, hoping to stop his expanding girth before he outgrows blouses and transitions into caftans--and possibly blocks out the LA sun.

As an important and prominent public figure in gay culture, I wanted to create a thread for us to celebrate this public person‘s public life that he makes public.

Most recently, he has had some important things to say about being in an open relationship:

“Whether in a closed or open relationship, rules or boundaries are necessary for every couple. If you are exterior to a couple and looking to “spend time” with one or both of them, it’s probably not a good idea to question or test the rules the couple has agreed to.

In our case, doing so, will get you cut out like a cancer. We don’t keep secrets. We don’t lie. We don’t sneak around. Asking or suggesting I/we do any of those tells me you’re not a person of character.”

I for one would not walk around barefoot in Los Angeles but he looks uncharacteristically happy.

Hilarious to see her put on a smile face, saying Trump policies are terrible without saying it aloud. The MAGA fools in the comments had difficulties understanding her and believed she was praising Trump. LMAO.

The far-right group members say they didn’t vote for this version of Trump.

The extremist group said on social media this week that it wouldn’t be able to support the president if the U.S. were to become involved in the conflict between Israel and Iran.

“If the United States gets directly involved in the Israel-Iran conflict, the voters that voted for Trump because there was a hope that Trump was America First can no longer support Trump,” the Proud Boys account posted to Telegram on Wednesday. “America First does not mean war for Israel. Donald Trump, focus on the health of our nation, period. We are crumbling. We are crippled with debt with no plan for a solution. Be the President you ran as.”

On a sweltering Friday afternoon in June, a group of angry and self-described “precarious” or underemployed Venetian young people gathered in a square near the foot of Venice’s Rialto bridge. It was a call to action against the impending nuptials of billionaire Jeff Bezos and journalist Lauren Sanchez, who will be tying the knot — and tying up the city — later in the month.

After struggling at first to hang a massive “No Space for Bezos” banner, complete with a drawing of his inarguably phallic Blue Origin rocket in the center, a handful of speakers roused the crowd of around 300 Venetians, many of whom were sipping spritzes in takeaway tumblers and smoking hand-rolled cigarettes.

They squirt people with water guns while they are sitting outside at restaurants eating breakfast or lunch.

Six months ago, Alex Hammer was diagnosed with colon cancer at the age of 37. Dianne Chambers endured surgery, chemotherapy and dozens of rounds of radiation to fight aggressive breast cancer, and Janan Haugen spends most days helping care for her 16-year-old grandson, who is still being treated for brain cancer he developed at the age of seven.

I'm watching all three seasons of Slow Horses these days. Lowden's looks have really grown on me and he is often wonderfully photographed in this series. He has beautiful coloring, a kind of strawberry blond hair on this show. I think he lightens his hair for many roles because at events he is more a classic orange ginger.

At 34 he's at a good moment between youthful and mature manhood.

Oh boy. Not that there was ever any doubt that it was always "Israel First" in actuality, but it's not even officially "America First" no more.

It really was a brilliant film beneath the surface. It highlights the hypocrisy of conservatives hysterically pointing fingers and shaming outsiders (gays) who live in unconventional ways but aren’t harming anyone while conservatives, while pretending to be polished, often do much worse things behind the scenes that actually do cause harm.

No this song isn’t from 1993, it’s from 2023. On the outskirts and underground of today’s music, 90’s revival has been slowly making its way to the top.

I believe soon enough the 808s will be traded in for late 80s and early 90s drum patterns.

I couldn’t be more excited. I think it’s coming.

We're only talking about the butt here.

Can be from any/all eras.

Please post pictures!

Thoughts on everyone’s favorite doctor?

Part 9

First song of hers I've enjoyed in ages.

I don't know about that drab, rainy NYC setting though.

Jaws opened 50 years ago this month to rave reviews and huge box office. Along with Star Wars, it would go on to define the modern-day blockbuster movie. And produce a slew of sequels.

It's a great piece of moviemaking. Spielberg at his best. And a great character study in between the thrills.

Roy Scheider is a hot daddy.

Robert Shaw and Lorraine Gary should have been nominated for oscars. Gary should have had a much bigger career.

It's been 12 hours and I'm still fat. It was very easy to do and the needle and dose was tiny. My goal is to lose 40 pounds by November so I can wear my nice clothes again for a trip to London. Covid and work stress made me fat again and I've never been a big eater. Sitting on Teams calls for 12 hours a day has killed me. No side effects yet.

Meghan just can’t talk in anything but platitudes. Here she explains away her failures as if it was her decision to fail-not because she’s inept. Honestly, just the part where she explains why she’s ending her podcast is worth the price of admission.

Well, bitches?

How would you rank these classic brunette beauties?

Go on.

Gay icon and revered Hollywood actress Judy Garland was found dead 56 years ago today from a drug over-dose in her London flat. She was only 47 years old. The news shocked Hollywood as well as fans around the world.

May her memories be a comfort to all who grieve her all these years after. Even Liza. Especially Liza.

They’re now strong independent women who don’t need NO man.

Tonight I got a sub from SUBWAY. The woman ahead of me asked the young guys behind the counter to wash their hands before serving her, despite the fact that they were wearing disposable gloves.

Question: Why isn't Jon Hein on the wrap up show anymore?

Claridges sounds like a Casino in Atlantic City. Make note of the German Posh Homosexual manager and the two pretentious queens from New York who are regular guests at the hotel.

Sure, yeah: there are a billion other threads like this. So this is another one.

Apropos of nothing, does anyone else not care much for the now popular expression/command/plea,

“Know this: …”?

It seems to be used a lot by politicians (Kamala Harris, for one) in what is, I guess, an attempt to give dramatic flair and import to the supposedly momentous declaration they’re about to deliver. The speaker’s intent seems to be to lay down a gauntlet.

Holt McCallany (hot daddy), Jake Weary (hot son), Maria Bello (Jada Pinkett-Smith impersonator), Melissa Benoist (girl), Rafael Silva (hot closet gay), Topher Grace (?)

Minnesota state senator John Hoffman in Champlin and Minnesota state representative Melissa Hortman in Brooklyn Park were reportedly shot in their homes by a gunman impersonating a police officer.

A manhunt is currently underway in Brooklyn Park for a man pretending to be a police officer. Governor Tim Walz sent a message on X stating he had activated the State Emergency Operations Center and that law enforcement in Champlin and Brooklyn Park would have the “full resources of the State of Minnesota behind them.”

Are any of you bitches going to see Mrs. Pamela Voorhees grace the silver screen? I've seen many horror films on the big screen for revival showings ("Halloween", "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre", "The Beyond", "The Devils") but this is one I've never gotten to experience in a theater. I have always been a big fan of it and am one of the rare people who prefer it over "Halloween". I did a Google search out of curiosity knowing that this Friday lands on the 13th, and several local theater listings popped up. I was pleasantly surprised.

What a cast!

1976–quo vadis?

Methinks jet lag is at work here. That’s his husband, gay porn star Ace Banner.

It's happened to all of us. We think, sometimes for years, that the lyrics of a song are one thing, but it turns out to be something totally different.

For me: I used to think Billy Idol was saying, "How's about a date" instead of "Eyes without a face".

How about you?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

My nipples are cold!

Justin Hartley's new show. They air its commercial every few minutes on Pluto TV. Over and over and over.

Aaron Taylor-Johnson has stirred fresh speculation about his rumored casting as the next James Bond. This is due to the actor’s vague response during the London premiere of 28 Years Later on June 18. When asked directly by Deadline about his next project, Taylor-Johnson offered only a quick response. He said, “I can’t talk about it,” before walking off.

Taylor-Johnson’s brief comment quickly gained traction online, with fans interpreting his silence as a possible confirmation that he will star in James Bond. One user wrote on X, “I reckon they’ll announce him as the next Bond at the same time they drop the date for the next movie. Willing to bet they’ve already wrapped up filming. Just look at how quiet his filmography is going forward.”

What was anyone thinking?

And as a bonus, Jerry Hall was with Rupert Murdoch!

I'm the hidden cigarettes in the Resolute Desk

The Spanish young adult sports drama feels like Elite meets this forgotten and short-lived 90s series called PUSH. This is what I thought of while watching the show today.

It’s a bunch of young hot people into athletics and surrounded by drama.

Push was about hot college athletes competing to be the best and surrounded by drama (usually within their sport or colleagues). I was a kid while PUSH was on and loved it but it got canned by ABC after just 3 episodes due to low ratings. 8 episodes were filmed, 3 aired, 5 never aired, the rest of the season canceled and never filmed.

For over 20 years you could not find the first three episodes of PUSH anywhere online and very little info exists about it today (there used to be fan pages dedicated to it in the early aughts of the 00s internet). But now you can find the first two episodes, not episode 3, and the other 5 filmed have never seen the light of day and I wonder if they even still exist or are destroyed.

PUSH was the first time I ever saw Jason Behr and Jaime Presley. Scott Gurney was in it too but I didn’t even remember it was him when The Fluffer happened.

A British man was arrested after allegedly attempting to stage a fake wedding to a 9-year-old girl at Disneyland Paris.

The man, 22, allegedly was the “groom” in a staged ceremony that was scheduled to occur the morning of Saturday, June 21, in front of the park’s Sleeping Beauty castle, according to The Sunday Times. He told police that the goal was to ultimately make a video for social media, per the outlet.

Authorities were first alerted to a potential issue after Disneyland Paris staff noticed that the bride at a pre-scheduled wedding appeared alarmingly young, per The Sunday Times.

There is no single figure in television history whose longevity and influence match Barbara Walters’.

She became a star on NBC’s “Today” in the early 1960s, raising the stature of the morning franchise. She opened doors for women as a network anchor and turned newsmaker interviews into major television events — 74 million tuned into her 1999 sit-down with Monica Lewinsky. She created one of daytime TV’s longest-running hits with “The View,” which evolved into a major forum for the country’s political discourse.

“The audience size that Barbara was able to capture and harness is unmatched in today’s world,” said Jackie Jesko, director of the new documentary “Barbara Walters: Tell Me Everything,” debuting Monday on Hulu after its premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival earlier this month. “Everything she did sort of made a difference.”

Jesko’s feature — produced by Brian Grazer and Ron Howard’s Imagine Documentaries and ABC News Studios — is the first in-depth look into Walters’ storied career. The film also serves as a sweeping historical review of the decades-long dominance of network news that made figures such as Walters a gatekeeper of the culture, as Jesko describes her.

Before the advent of social media and podcasts that allowed celebrities to control their messages, going through the X-ray machine of a Barbara Walters interview delivered exposure on a massive scale. David Sloan, a longtime ABC News producer who worked with Walters, recalls how the screen images of her specials flickered through the windows of Manhattan apartment towers.

“Tell Me Everything” came together not long after Walters died at the age of 93 in 2022. Sara Bernstein, president of Imagine Documentaries, approached Betsy West, executive producer and co-director of the Julia Child documentary “Julia,” about taking on a Walters project. Sloan, who oversaw an Emmy-winning tribute after Walters’ death, also wanted a deeper exploration into the impact of her career. West, also a former Walters colleague, and Sloan became executive producers on the film. “Tell Me Everything” taps deeply into the ABC News archives, which contain thousands of hours of interviews Walters conducted over her 40 years at the network.

Johnny Depp is once again speaking out about the turbulent aftermath of his highly publicized legal battle with ex-wife Amber Heard, this time labeling himself a “crash test dummy” for the #MeToo movement.

In a new interview, the 62-year-old actor reflected on how the media frenzy and public opinion during his defamation trial highlighted who in his life stood by him, and who didn’t.

Johnny Depp also described the emotional toll the trial took on him personally and professionally.

I hope they don't reinstate the draft, but some part of me wants to see MAGAs suffer consequences for their choices.

Miss Candice Azzara

This time over Israel.

These girls were always fighting growing up, always trying to get John’s attention, to be his #1 corpulent daughter.

Lindsey and My Fat Daughter were VICIOUS to each other-biting; scratching; kicking; slapping…, and of course My Fat Daughter would bring the fracas to an end by sitting on Lindsey.

I can still hear Lindsey’s weak, effeminate pleas—“HELP I CAN’T BREATHE! SHE IS GOING TO KILL ME!”

Sigh. No wonder I turned to pills.

The Italian shipbuilder CEO was very quick to blame the crew, in fact three of them are still persons of interest but the UK’s Marine Accident Investigation Branch has released the first detailed account:

[quote] which found the boat had “vulnerabilities” to extreme wind which were not known to the owner or crew.

and

[quote] There was no indication of flooding inside Bayesian until water came in over the starboard rails and, within seconds, entered the internal spaces down the stairwells,” the report said.

There’s more; worth reading. Waiting for the Italian response. Preparations are underway to raise the boat. Sadly a salvage diver died a couple days ago. It’s a dangerous job.

President Trump said early Tuesday morning that he wants "a real end" to Iran's nuclear problem, with Tehran "giving up entirely" its enrichment activities. He said he was not just working toward a ceasefire to end the war between Iran and Israel.

"I didn't say I was looking for a ceasefire," Mr. Trump told reporters on Air Force One after cutting short his time at the G7 summit in Canada.

On his Truth Social platform, Trump said that French President Emmanuel Macron had "mistakenly said that I left the G7 Summit, in Canada, to go back to D.C. to work on a 'cease fire' between Israel and Iran. Wrong! He has no idea why I am now on my way to Washington, but it certainly has nothing to do with a Cease Fire. Much bigger than that."

He was gay and in the military - DL catnip!!

“I'm so ready for next Tuesday when the holiday weekend will be over and the last two weeks of insanity behind me. In the last 14 days, I went to Houston to host the Fornication party, then Dallas, shooting 8 movies, then back to Palm Springs where the Just For Fans creator conference was underway. Shot another 7 movies, with many more people asking to shoot, then disappointed when I said my schedule had been booked for weeks. I never even made it the conference itself. Just no spare seconds to be had. During this time, I also worked 35 hours at my store. And then came the shocking death of my friend Glenn.

This Memorial Day Weekend is our last chance to make some money at the store before the summer slowdown really hits. I will be off Saturday, and only Saturday, to attend one or two pool parties. But please, I do NOT need any more pressure to come to this or come to that.

I am tapped-out of energy and emotion right now. If I could, I would go home, close all the blinds and not come out for a week. Please do not text. Do not message asking me to do things right now.”

But I believe he believed himself.

This was on one of the Showtime channels last night. I haven’t seen it in a while. The transfer wasn’t great, it looked a bit faded and grainy. Hopefully it looks better on BluRay.

Do you think the nurse in the hospital was in on the attempted murder of Vito that Michael prevented? She seems a bit shifty and nervous when they are moving him.

Mark Cuban says he turned down an offer to be a candidate for Kamala Harris’ vice president, telling The Bulwark podcast that he didn’t even consider it because his personality isn’t right for the second-fiddle job.

“My response was I’m not very good as a number two person,” Cuban said on the clip they played from Tim Miller’s show. “It’s the last thing we need is me telling Kamala, ‘No, that’s a dumb idea.’ I’m not real good at shaking hands. My personality was different than times and backgrounds, and I think I’ve cut through the [bleep] more directly and impact on hearing — not a politician. So [I] would have been different but would have been awful … she would have fired me.”

Pick one, bitches.

[quote]According to a groundbreaking MIT study, using ChatGPT for writing tasks significantly reduces brain activity and learning, with researchers discovering that AI users showed the weakest neural connectivity compared to those using search engines or relying solely on their own thinking abilities.

Any hot stories or encounters? It’s amazing that someone came up with a mainstream way to cruise. I looked at it once at a park I was in and saw that a bunch of guys were meeting in a wooded area. I passed by and sure enough some twink was on his knees blowing 5 guys standing around. I went into an IKEA and there was a notice that people were meeting in the bathroom. It’s pretty surreal. I’ve never used it to hookup, god only knows if it’s a sting operation, but it does make me laugh. People just post their dicks to their profiles and nothing else.

DL's thoughts on what many consider Hayao Miyazaki's masterpiece?

Any tips? Could I leave a post-it note on his car, with a message?

Once again, he's very handsome.

FreeVee has like the last twenty years of this soap up, and I needed something running in the background last night so went back to the beginning of 2021 and clicked play. What the hell, right?

Well now it’s the next day and I’ll be damned if I’m not hooked. This Shane love triangle is actually compelling.

I’m gonna have to go back to 2004 now.

Danny Boyle may have won a best picture Oscar for his 2008 film Slumdog Millionaire, but the director believes they wouldn’t be able to make that film in present time.

“Yeah, we wouldn’t be able to make that now,” he said of the film. “And that’s how it should be. It’s time to reflect on all that. We have to look at the cultural baggage we carry and the mark that we’ve left on the world.”

Years later Boyle says he’s “proud of the film” but noted, “You wouldn’t even contemplate doing something like that today. It wouldn’t even get financed. Even if I was involved, I’d be looking for a young Indian filmmaker to shoot it.”

"Sordid Lives" Director Del Shores, ex husband, Jason Dottley went on a Twitter Rampage and made wild accusations about his marriage to Del Shores and went on to Personally Attack Leslie Jordan, after his death. Calling the beloved funnyman, a "liar and a piece of shit". What does Datalounge think of this , or does DL even fucking care?

Personal Background and Statement:

I am a single mother to a biological son, currently four years old. While I care for him, our relationship is distant. He prefers to live with his father and his family, and we have never been particularly close. I have no plans to have more biological children, as pregnancy does not agree with me physically. My cesarean section recovery was difficult, and I do not wish to undergo another pregnancy or surgery.

I am an only child and have very little family. My parents are elderly and we rarely communicate. I want to adopt a child with whom I can form a close bond. Someone who will be by my side as I grow older, and when I eventually need facelifts or medical care, she can be the person to sign my next-of-kin paperwork. If I die, I want her to ensure I am cremated according to my wishes.

Although I am not an orphan myself, my childhood was difficult. My parents were poor, and we lived in inadequate accommodation. There were times when I had to sleep on the floor. Looking back, I often wished that someone wealthy had adopted me and given me a better life.

With this in mind, I am determined to provide a child with a home full of opportunity, stability, and love — a truly blessed life that I did not have.

Adoption Preferences:

I am seeking to adopt a female infant, preferably around six months old. It is important that the child shows no signs of emotional disturbance, behavioral problems, or sociopathic tendencies, as I have heard of such issues arising from certain orphanages and wish to avoid them. I want a child who appears emotionally well-adjusted and developmentally typical so that she may adapt smoothly to a nurturing home environment.

While I do not place primary importance on physical appearance, I will naturally be drawn to whichever child I find the cutest. If the child I choose has a close companion in the orphanage, I would consider adopting both to avoid separating them.

That said, I must be honest and express a preference for a blonde child. Growing up, I was frequently bullied by black-haired, pale children, which has left me with a lasting aversion to that look. Therefore, I would prefer to avoid adopting a child with those features.

I have no interest in raising a boy. Boys and their toys do not appeal to me. A girl fits better with my lifestyle and interests, including dressing her in various fashions and building a close, feminine maternal bond.

Home Environment:

I live in a beautiful house equipped with numerous swimming pools: an indoor private pool, an outdoor pool, a rooftop pool, and even an underground pool. I am an avid swimmer and enjoy having access to these facilities for exercise and relaxation. I avoid public pools because I find the idea of others urinating in them unhygienic and unpleasant. I am confident that my home offers a safe, comfortable, and luxurious environment for any child I adopt.

Inspirations:

Recently, I watched the movie Blades of Glory and was touched by the story of the blonde orphan who was taken from an orphanage by a wealthy man. He grew up to become a sweet, talented, and cute skating star. While I have no intention of forcing any child I adopt into sports or a particular career, I want to provide them with opportunities to discover and develop their talents, whatever they may be. I believe I can create that kind of nurturing environment where they can thrive.

Additional Notes:

Please be aware that upon arrival, you may see me with black hair and very pale skin. This is for a role in a movie I am currently filming. My natural hair is honey brown, and my skin tone is sallow but healthy. Please do not be confused by my temporary appearance.

Closing Statement:

I am confident that I can provide a stable, loving home where a child can thrive and be cherished. I understand the responsibility adoption entails and am prepared to give any child I choose a life filled with love, opportunity, and security — a life truly blessed.

Jack’s a shy, newly out gay guy still reeling from his dad’s death, thrown into university with Danny, a confident, older, messed up straight guy They shouldn’t work, but they do. Not in a cheesy odd couple way, more like two misfits fumbling into real friendship through bad nights out, grief, and virginal awkwardness.

It’s funny, sharp, and weirdly moving. Hits that sweet spot between dick jokes and emotional damage. Surprisingly tender stuff, if you’re into that kind of thing (and let’s be real you are). Give it a chance, on Hulu..

ODE TO BILLIE JOE and FANCY of course.

But I’m working my way through the songs that she wrote on her albums. This is BELINDA, about a Texas burlesque dancer, who is unapologetically a burlesque dancer. It is such a well written song.

More excitement to come I’m sure! I predict another shocking young star death like Liam Payne

Last summer I actually posted here about recently "discovering" her music and digging it.

What a CUNT. And Naomi Campbell no less.

GEO was no stranger to Jena, and Jena no stranger to GEO. They’d been partners for years, back before the Jena facility had been retrofitted for immigrant detention, back before GEO was even called GEO. Now the facility was one of the largest employers in the area: 250 jobs. It was also one of the region’s biggest taxpayers.

The remote facility had grown into a central node in a newly established network of immigrant detention centers that span central Louisiana. Immigration advocates refer to this region as “the black hole,” a place where people disappear into overcrowded detention, sometimes for years, often without ever seeing a lawyer or being convicted of a crime. Others are whisked onto deportation flights, headed for countries they’ve fled or never been to. One place where people who have been brought to Jena rarely end up is back at their American homes, in the lives they were living before agents banged on their front doors or raided their workplaces or pulled them over for a traffic stop...

Around the same time, Jena was back in the national news for its youth again—not its youth detention center but its namesake public high school. A year earlier, nooses had been hung from a tree at Jena High School after some Black students sat beneath it. (The tree was most commonly a purlieu for white students.) In the subsequent weeks, fighting ensued. One white student pulled a gun, and other white students smashed bottles over the head of a Black student. That Black student and a group of his friends beat up a white student and knocked him unconscious. In the end, the Black students were arrested—the Jena Six, they were soon called—and charged with attempted murder.

It became a national flashpoint. Then-Sen. Hillary Clinton said Jena “reminds us that the scales of justice are seriously out of balance when it comes to charging, sentencing, and punishing African Americans.” Al Sharpton claimed that it was the new frontier of the Civil Rights Movement...

In Jena, everyone knew someone who worked at the ICE facility, and also no one knew anything. Friends, a cousin, a sister, a granddaughter, former co-workers, friends of friends. No one had heard anything about it, no one was picking up the phone, everyone would be back tomorrow and just so happened to be busy at the moment.

At the doughnut shop, and again at the café, I was told that there were regularly ICE detention center employees but that I had only just missed them each time I arrived. At the drive-thru liquor store, which featured flags hanging from the rafters of Trump riding on a tank and Jesus grasping an American flag, one employee told me her ex-husband worked there. But she, too, knew nothing about it, wouldn’t call him, didn’t want to talk about it.

At the local hospital, one employee told me that they did indeed have detainees show up for medical attention, accompanied by officials from the facility, but three other administrators came running to say that they could not and would not speak about that.

At one of the town’s many churches, I spoke with a woman who feared social retribution for saying anything. “It’s a really tight-knit community,” she warned.

I'm so excited!

What’s replacing them?

It did a great job. It mapped out a reasonable trip with my having a rental car. This was just high-level (e.g., 2 days here, 3 days there, 2 days there, 1 day there). But I gave some refining instructions, and it took less than 30 minutes to plan a trip where, in the past, it would take a lot longer to map something like this out.

I'll use ChatGPT to dive deeper (e.g., "what should I do each day in X").

I also have travel books that I'll use, but it's so much easier to have a framework that makes total sense with little effort on my part - and no travel agent.

and it's a BOP!

As a OP of that thread I enjoyed all the tea spilled about this cute but messy bitch. But somehow that thread got blocked so I did pt 2.

Gay romance during World War I. This looks like it might be really good. Mescal in particular suits the period perfectly, which is a surprise.

In a new interview with the Daily Mail, JoJo Siwa discussed her new relationship with her Celebrity Big Brother co-star, Chris Hughes, and the world's reaction to her dating a man after coming out as a lesbian.

"When I came out at 17, I said, 'I’m pansexual, because I don’t care about gender.' But then I kind of boxed myself in and I said, 'I’m a lesbian.' And I think I did that because of the pressure."

When the interviewer asked her where that pressure came from, she said, "In a weird way, I think it came a little bit from inside the [LGBTQ] community at times. From people I know, from partners I’ve had. You just get put in this world where you feel like, because you now have said, 'Oh, I'm a lesbian,' you have to be a lesbian. And the truth is, sexuality is fluid."

I'm not talking about Dominance/Submission or Bondage/Discipline. I'm talking about hardcore Sadism & Masochism. You know, whips, pain, branding, piercings, all that "Ouch! That hurts a girl!" realness. Remember "Drummer" magazine and the Personals section for dudes looking for everything from prospective amputations, slave training, castrations, and "terminal sex"? Those queens didn't mess around! Is that scene still around? Hell, they even had S&M motorcycle clubs. As I said, we're not talking about lace-curtain kinky modern day "play" stuff. We're talking bodily injury, scarification, and encounters that would send you to the ER back in the era before "safe" words. Anybody here into that? Or is that kind of extreme stuff relegated to the past?

Her bold new hairstyle and choice to go topless have sparked concerns in Congress about her mental well-being.

Schumer sleepwalks through press conferences, Jeffries recites stale talking points, and meanwhile the GOP is out there setting the agenda. Do Democrats even realize what’s at stake? Or are they just hoping the public forgets who’s supposed to be leading the opposition?

Donald Trump delivered a stark warning to a group of reporters interviewing him at an airfield in New Jersey, telling them they were “in danger.”

The president was fielding questions about Israel’s conflict with Iran, when a reporter asked, “Are you worried Iran’s proxies would wage terror attacks against American targets abroad if you order military action?”

“We’re always concerned about that, and we have to take them out and be very strong,” Trump began, before his response took a seemingly dark turn. “You’re even in danger talking to me right now,” he said. “Do you know that? You are in danger talking to me right now, so I should probably get out of here. But you guys are actually in danger. Can you believe it?”

It's been 13 years, and Hugh Laurie reportedly has no interest in revisiting House – not even for a podcast interview.

"His staff was like, 'Oh, this is a good fit, we’re going to reach out to him and see what he thinks," Dr. Mike Varshavski told The Pitt and former ER lead Noah Wyle on an episode of The Dr. Mike podcast, explaining that his team contacted Laurie about a potential guest spot on an episode. "I’m going to read you quote-unquote what he said: 'He is not interested in opportunities like this, frankly doesn't care about the audience or reliving the show.'"

St. Louis Cardinals broadcaster Chip Caray will not be disciplined after accidentally saying an anti-gay slur on air, according to Front Office Sports.

The offending term came in the top of the fourth inning against the Cincinnati Reds, with Caray reading a promo for the Cardinals' Disability Pride Night. Caray appeared to immediately realize what he had done, as more than 30 seconds of silence followed while Cardinals starting pitcher Sonny Gray pitched to Spencer Steer.

Who was it, and did they deserve it?

He won’t —he can’t

TVs Drama Kings!

I feel like this great swear word isn’t appreciated enough.

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?

The trailer makes the movie look insufferable.

Elon Musk has called for the impeachment of Donald Trump after claiming the president is named in secret files the US government holds on the disgraced paedophile, Jeffrey Epstein

The world’s most powerful men entered a war of words in full public view on Thursday, trading barbs from their respective social media platforms.

The Tesla boss responded “yes” to a user on X who wrote: “Trump should be impeached and JD Vance should replace him.”

Retirement village offers safe haven for LGBTQ seniors

Durham, North Carolina — There's more than just wine and cheese on the menu at happy hour at Village Hearth in Durham, North Carolina.

The retirement village serves up a safe space for people 55 and older who identify as LGBTQ+. It's one of the nation's first co-housing developments created specifically for an aging, queer population — like 73-year-old Barb Chase.

"I lived my life pretty much in the closet, and I was ready for an experience that was super affirming," Chase said.

The 28 single-story pastel-colored cottages are individually owned, but connected physically by walking paths and ideologically by acceptance.

"As we age, community is one of the most important things to ensure our continued health," Chase said.

Over seven million LGBTQ Americans will be over age 50 by 2030, according to the Human Rights Campaign. Fewer than half of states have laws prohibiting housing discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity — and there is no federal law.

That's why Margaret Roesch and her wife created Village Hearth more than five years ago when they couldn't find somewhere to retire.

"I know if we ever ended up in assisted living or in a nursing home that we would have had to go back in the closet, potentially," Roesch said.

Patricia Stressler and Tami Ike moved to Village Hearth from about an hour away in Greensboro, where they lived hiding their relationship.

"We're still in that generation where we don't want to make people feel uncomfortable," Ike said.

Like many gay and lesbian seniors, the couple doesn't have the traditional safety net of adult children for connection and care. With this community comes built-in support from each other.

"I think there is a small percentage of people who are very close-minded, and I think just for day-to-day living, wanting to be comfortable every day, not having to be on guard for anything or anyone," Stressler said.

"I feel like we're going backwards, and so I think this type of community is needed more," Ike said.

For these seniors — trailblazing for decades — it's a chapter with fewer struggles and more happy hours.

Russia's proxy states are having a hard time lately.

Who says irony is dead?

The GOP-controlled House Judiciary Committee led a performative hearing Thursday on a bill that would ban transgender athletes from competing for the U.S. in the Olympics or any World Championship. One of the topics discussed was locker room safety.

Republicans always look foolish when they scaremonger about trans people changing in locker rooms, given the utter lack of a connection between trans-inclusive policies and safety. In fact, transgender teens are actually the folx most at risk when stepping inside public restrooms or locker rooms.

Harvard researchers found that 36% of transgender or gender-nonbinary students with restricted bathroom or locker room access reported being assaulted over a 12-month span.

But in this case, Republicans appeared even more ridiculous than usual. That’s because Judiciary Committee chairman Jim Jordan was leading the hearing.

In case you need a refresher: For eight years, Jordan was an assistant wrestling coach at Ohio State University (1987-95). That means he’s been in a lot of locker rooms, where wrestlers say he turned a blind eye to sexual misconduct.

"I’m a huge fan of gays,” Spelling told Reuters. “They love me; I love them. They consider me kind of a gay icon, which they’ve labeled me as.” I can't find an original source for this quote so it may not be recent, but is this true DL? I remember her as the annoying hag in the movie "TRICK" but what else has she done to warrant gay icon status?

SHE'S KILLED A MAN, BEEN SHOT AT, AND MADE LOVE TWICE ALREADY THIS EVENING... AND THE EVENING ISN'T OVER YET!

I hope it’s as good as the first season!

Little People, Big World star Jacob Roloff's wife, Isabel, officially came out as bisexual during Pride Month.

Earlier in June, Isabel posted a video on TikTok clarifying her sexuality.

"Hi, so I've been wanting to make this video for years—quite literally years now," she began her message. But a few things have held me back, or it just hasn't felt like the right time. But now I feel more ready than ever to just kind of, in honor of Pride Month, just kind of tell my truth."

I need an amusing distraction from the state of the world.

Is anyone watching?

It’s important to know your American History. It’s not just Black History or white History - it’s all of our collective history that makes us who we are as a nation. I never knew these existed. Mind you this was 100 years ago.

Pure no-frills drilling, just like our homo ancestors used to do it in the caves. His dick isn't all that, but he sure knows how to use it.

I mostly wanted to point out the bottom's beautiful thighs. Is that just from constantly bending over to take dick, I wonder?

One of my favorites. Singing "Old Friend" here.

I've posted about my mother's decline with early-onset Alzheimer's several times over the years here. She is 71 and was diagnosed ten years ago, although she started showing symptoms around 2013.

Around the time of her diagnosis, she also successfully battled breast cancer. Well, now, it seems the breast cancer has returned with a vengeance, and while they won't perform an ultrasound or biopsy, much less treat the cancer in any way (she has been in hospice care for over two years), it seems she is not long for this world. I can only hope the end is soon, swift, and relatively pain-free.

Losing one's mother sucks. I just finished revising her obituary. Even though I "lost" her many years ago, I could still hug her, wheel her outside to look at the flowers and the birds, talk to her, play her favorite songs for her, just be with her. I'm about to lose that, too. The world seems like a much darker place without my mom in it.

Connections drives me batty. Ranging from the comically basic (body parts mentioned in the song Heads, Shoulders, Knees And Toes? Really?) to the ridiculously esoteric.

Why didn't this story get more attention?

Very little information being shared at this point although one of the victims posted a photo saying he was okay, with bandage wrapped around his head.

After this week's incident with the drunk autistic teen being arrested by 7 police officers for telling a police woman she looked like her lesbian grandmother, I do question whether the numbers of homophobic incidents are reliable. Saying something mean should clearly be counted in a violent assault.

[quote]Home Office figures for the year ending March 2022 show that sexual orientation hate crimes in England and Wales increased by 41% to 26,152, representing the largest percentage annual increase in these offences since current records began in the year ending March 2012.

[quote]The Home Office said the overall rise could be due to better recording by police, as well as fewer cases having been recorded under Covid restrictions in 2020/21.

He had a hard life and had been discovered fending for himself as a young dog in a wooded area. Eventually he was adopted and then returned back to the same shelter by 3 different people over the course of 10 years. We had picked him up 2.5 months ago from a shelter. A beautiful old beagle mix. He was a sweet dog but would become a completely different animal when he saw people on bikes and scooters and large trucks. When he was in the backseat of our car - he would lunge at the window and bark uncontrollably until the bike/scooter passed. When I took him for walks he'd be better behaved. I was walking him for his morning routine and he was rolling around on the grass (on his back enjoying himself) when a large bus came down the street. He slipped out of his leash and collar and darted in front of the bus. It was instant, traumatizing and brutal. I had to reach under the bus to grab him and he (obviously in horrible pain) attacked my hand and face. He was ripped open and we took him to the emergency clinic and had him put down. Enormous guilt here. Not at all how we had seen his life going. We were trying to provide a loving, fun, supportive environment for him to live out his last 3-5 years. Not looking for pity, just having a fragile moment and wanted to record it somewhere.

I am tutoring a bunch of kids from 10-18 years old. I wondered what you would recommend as terrific works for kids. For example, I have done books like Harriet the Spy, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and A Christmas Carol. I would love hear your suggestions.

This is just a clip. Look up the podcast Golden Girls Deep Dive for it.

Deborra-Lee Furness is allegedly ready to open up about her side of the story. The news emerged amid the ongoing divorce between the high-profile, long-time Hollywood couple. An “insider” claims that Jackman feels “worried” as Furness has started to express her thoughts.

Per RadarOnline, a “source” told the outlet that “Now that their divorce deal is done,” Deborra-Lee Furness can “speak out.” The “insider” further said to the news outlet that Hugh Jackman allegedly has concerns about what Deborra-Lee Furness may say. “Deb’s holding all the cards.”

The “source” also claimed that friends of the actor-producer have been encouraging her to share her story with the world. They continued, “It would provide closure and also send a message to the world – and her kids – that she’s going to stand up for herself.”

I told someone that I pay $150 a month for the two and they were shocked. Apparently they pay over $250. I don’t have cable, so that of course saves me. I’m a bit shocked by how much people pay for their internet and phone services in the US.

‘Growing up Getty’ is a term we’re all familiar with, but how does the experience differ when you’re from the dynasty itself, and transgender?

It’s a typically sunny morning in Los Angeles when Nats Getty dials in to speak with me via video call. Smoking a cigarette, wearing basketball shorts and a self-designed ‘Getty Oil’ hat from his label Strike Oil (a fun play on the family business), it’s clear that straight-laced dynastic stereotypes stop with Nats. ‘I think I have just always had the attitude of not giving a f*ck,’ says Getty, ‘I say that and I do mean it because I have always just tried to live my life for me.’

Born in 1992, Nats is Ariadne Getty’s first child with Justin Williams. His brother and fellow designer, August, was born two years later. ‘The first time I came out, I was having a panic attack about telling my mum and she said, “Nats, I gave birth to you. I knew the second you were born,”’ Getty says. Growing up between the US and a boarding school in Oxford, Getty’s youth was a fusion of transatlantic cultures. ‘Before I came out as trans, the only way I could describe it is that I was the ultimate tomboy. But when I look back now, I realised that when I was younger, living in LA, and Santa Monica, I was so free, and I wasn't being told what my gender was. I was running around like a little boy. Once I got older in society, people at boarding school started telling me how a girl is supposed to act and look and be, I got really insecure. I had to shift and change how I was acting to fit in. But it was evident from the beginning,’ says Getty.

We just passed this great old documentary in a movie lineup on HBO/Max. I decided to watch the trailer since it’s been years Since I’ve seen it. Apparently it’s been remastered and throughout the trailer, several quotes and statements about the film pop up on screen and at least two describe it as a groundbreaking film on the trans culture. I didn’t care enough to go back to see where the quotes were coming from but, like Gay Pride and Stonewall I have no doubt this too will be whitewashed and cleansed of all things specific to gay men.

Not a drag queen or trans person in sight!

Ryan Murphy is adapting Bret Easton Ellis’s book The Shards into a series and has allegedly cast NAC, Kaia Gerber and Sydney Sweeney in lead roles. This is listed on Film & Television Industry Alliance but hasn’t been announced yet.

How is our Rex doing in prison? He appears to be even fatter than when arrested. Look at his belly, it’s approaching crucial mass.

He’s in solitary because of the nature of his crimes. Apparently inmates in solitary often become morbidly obese.

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

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

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

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

I definitely remember seeing photos of the clothing and accessories on offer.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. - An argument between two Walmart employees ended in gunfire Thursday afternoon, according to the Bartlett Police Department (BPD).

BPD said two employees got into a fight at the store at 8400 Highway 64. A FOX13 employee who was inside the store with her family at the time of the shooting said she heard four or five gunshots come from the back of the store.

Police said those bullets struck a Walmart employee. That person suffered critical injuries, and first responders rushed that employee to a nearby hospital, BPD said.

The FOX13 employee inside the store at the time of the shooting said they saw people running through the store after the gunfire. Someone yelled, "They're shooting." Walmart security evacuated the store prior to officers' arrival. Bartlett Police showed up soon after and ran into the Walmart. They came out escorting a man wearing a Walmart vest. BPD said they arrested one person without incident. That arrest happened about 20 minutes after the initial gunfire.

As of 5 p.m. Thursday, Bartlett Police said the scene is secure and that there are no ongoing threats to the public or Walmart employees.

It’s the first day of summer. Places are going to be hot. They’ve been hot in the past, they're going to be hot again. Some days will be super hot. Some days won’t be. And yes, we all know the climate is warming.

But weather reporting hysteria has become a real problem. Major news networks leading with stories not about political corruption or war, but weather. “Be careful’! Drink water everybody! OMG stay in the shade! Run for your lives! There will be death!!” JFC! WTF has happened to people??

A New York City man who dedicated his life to fighting for social justice was fatally stabbed in Brooklyn on Monday, according to multiple reports.

Ryan Carson, 32, was stabbed at around 4 a.m. in the Crown Heights neighborhood while standing on the street with his girlfriend, police sources told CBS News.

The assailant approached and asked, “What are you looking at?" before stabbing Carson in the chest numerous times, the outlet reported, citing sources. The outlet reported that Carson's girlfriend was not injured during the attack.

Police said there have been no arrests and the investigation is ongoing, per CBS News.

Humpback whales are known for their extensive use of bubbles—from powerful, aggressive bursts that prove their prowess during courtship to the bubble-net “curtains” they produce to round up prey in a spectacle that often draws tourists from around the world.

Now a new study published in Marine Mammal Science explores rare instances when humpbacks (Megaptera novaeangliae) create dramatic, doughnut-shaped vortex bubbles that look like a rolling underwater smoke ring.

if that kind of porn was criminalized under federal law?

I think it’d be a 9-0 decision that it is not unconstitutional to ban that kind of porn. No one would want to write the opinion that “it’s tasteless but ….”

Avoid large gatherings this fourth.

Last night, there was an invite-only industry presentation in Manhattan showcasing 'Dark Lady', yet another Cher juke-box musical. The project, being executive produced by Ken Davenport's Davenport Theatrical Enterprises, is aiming for an Off-Broadway run. Rashidra Scott, Alysha Umphress, and more will star in the work written by Mike Sheedy.

Set in the American South at the turn of the century, Sheedy's story follows Queen, "a young gypsy who travels in a wagon train with her fortune-teller mother, her preacher father, and her two best friends—a free-spirited blonde and a fiery, fiddle-playing redhead. After receiving an ominous and foreboding fortune of events to come, Queen is forced to make a devastating decision that alters the course of her future." It seems safe to assume the score will include Cher's 1971 hit "Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves."

Cher—who made her Broadway debut as an actor in 1982's Come Back to the 5 & Dime Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean—was the subject of an earlier jukebox musical on the Main Stem, 2018's The Cher Show, which used her music to tell the story of her life and career.

Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi warned on Saturday that if the U.S. were to get involved in the Israel-Iran conflict, the result would be “very, very dangerous” for everybody.

“The tweets, interviews by the U.S. President, [it’s] quite clear that he's talking about the U.S. leadership on these questions [of a potential U.S. involvement],” Araghchi told reporters. “Unfortunately, we have heard that the U.S. may join in this aggression. That would be very unfortunate and I think that would be very, very dangerous for everybody.”

Araghchi also claimed that Iran has “many indications” that the U.S. has been involved in Israel’s bombardments of Iran since “day one.”

June 16 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump on Monday urged everyone to immediately evacuate Tehran, and reiterated that Iran should have signed a nuclear deal with the United States.

"IRAN CAN NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON. I said it over and over again! Everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran!" he said in a post on Truth Social.

Where does he suppose they should go?

It's as if a person started a fire and then said "Go Go, get our of here!"

I know he’s a child molester and has no career now but in the 70s when he was making music that did pretty well did people actually take him seriously? Looking at him and hearing songs like My Gang it’s hard to believe he was ever a respected musician. He seems like he’s be a joke. Kind of like a low brow Weird Al

Four-and-a-half months after the Democratic National Committee chair pledged to focus on fighting Donald Trump, Ken Martin's short tenure leading the organization has been engulfed by bitter infighting. Even longtime party insiders are getting impatient.

Interviews with a dozen DNC members revealed deep frustration with Martin and concern about his ability to unify and lead a party trying to recover from massive electoral losses in 2024.

One DNC member — who, like others in this story, was granted anonymity to speak candidly — described him as looking “weak and whiny,” and another said he has been “invisible” and his “early tenure has been disappointing.”

We’ve bombed Iran!

Now listen up, you Sissy-Mary's. While you've been getting your panties in a twist over La Lapone, the Trump/Musk bitchfest, Sydney Sweeney getting attacked by her own tittays, you have been distracted away from events that have occurred while your nelly backs have been turned. An example? Meet our new Ambassador to Greece.....

President Trump named Kimberly Guilfoyle as Ambassador to Greece. Guilfoyle is a former Fox News personality and has been a staple of the Trump family for years since she previously was in a relationship with Donald Trump Jr. The two reportedly have broken up. “For many years, Kimberly has been a close friend and ally. Her extensive experience and leadership in law, media, and politics along with her sharp intellect make her supremely qualified to represent the United States, and safeguard its interests abroad,” Trump said Tuesday in a post on Truth Social. He added, “Kimberly is perfectly suited to foster strong bilateral relations with Greece, advancing our interests on issues ranging from defense cooperation to trade and economic innovation.”

She's gone full Hasselbeck and you never go full Hasselbeck.

Alyssa Farah looks stunned.

Okay, I am not one of those nut jobs who think Meghan used a surrogate but if you watch the whole video, that is not a real pregnancy bump. It's lightweight and looks towels bunched together. Also it's covering her vag at one point in a way a pregnant belly wouldn't.

Almost all countries whether they are pro gay or not register about 2% of men being gay and lesbians being about 1.9% of the population. This is a constant in most reputable studies. Yet the number of bisexuals , male or female, seems not be uniform or defined. Why do you think that is?? Also why do you think there are fewer lesbians than gay men?? This is shown in progressive countries too, so it is not just because of homophobia. I personally think that maybe one man can impregnant many women, so our species don't need all/most men to be into women.

Story time- this morning I stopped into Target and was shopping in the Electronics section looking at headphones. There was this young-ish white woman on the phone with someone who seemed to be rushing her and giving her a hard time. I minded my business but I looked at her and her face was red and her eyes looked watery. I said “hope whoever that was isn’t driving you insane” with a smile on my face and she smiled and laughed and said she was dealing with a celebrities team on the phone because this celebrity was was being AWFUL today. I asked if she works dealing with celebs and she said yes she does, and I kinda picked up on that based on how she was dressed and how frantic she was to get the items for whoever was on the other side of that call. She was waiting for a worker to come over and unlock a speaker she had to buy for this celebrity because he needed a new one asap and he was being absolutely terrible to everyone around him.

I said I’m sorry and go to walk away when she then points at the Beats Pill speakers and asks if she should get him the red one just to be a bitch because she knows he would hate the red one and then she laughs. I said “if he’s really being terrible, I wouldn’t even get him the red one, I would get him the pink one!” She laughed and said no she will get the golden colored one to avoid him being even worse. I asked who the celebrity was if she didn’t mind me asking and she goes “I can’t say who it is we aren’t supposed to” and then goes “hell, it’s not like you know my name to post me online or something” and then she whispers “it’s John Krasinski”. I looked at her and said “I believe you!” She said he’s HORRIBLE to deal with. He’s filming a commercial in Brooklyn and is being a nightmare. I told her I live in the Dumbo area and John and Emily moved into the area and I’ve heard from some people who’ve met them they aren’t very pleasant, especially him. Emily is more cold but not particularly mean but I heard John can be absolutely rude! She smiled and said “I had no idea they were like that, but after working with him he’s one of the worst I’ve had recently and I’ve had some bad celebs”. She said she didn’t have to deal with his wife (never referring to her by name) but she was told if she comes by no one is to speak to her or look her in the eyes.

I told her I’m sorry she got stuck with him and I hope he doesn’t make the rest of her day any more miserable. She thanked me and then says “by the way, I had to work with Steve Carell before and he’s one of the nicest I’ve had”. I told her I’m happy to hear that because I’ve always liked him and she said yeah he was very kind and funny and down to earth when she dealt with him. Very normal. She said John is a nightmare

The employee FINALLY came and unlocked her speaker and my headphones and we parted ways. But I felt so bad for her. She looked so stressed.

Lovers of flamboyant aristocrats and outrageous costumes rejoice, for Madfabulous promises to deliver a gloriously ‘alternative’ period drama. The indie feature, starring It’s a Sin’s Callum Scott Howells and Tatler cover icon Rupert Everett, charts the extraordinary life of Henry Paget – the aristocratic bad boy of his age.

As the fifth Marquess of Anglesey, Paget became infamous in the late 1800s for squandering his inheritance on a lavish social life and accumulating huge debts. Dubbed the ‘Dancing Marquess’ for his love of voluminous silk robes and theatrical flair, Paget lived for extravagance. All until his untimely death at just 29.

In an era awash with period dramas and Regency romps, this British film promises to be a Tatler reader’s dream. With actors from our Bystander pages, one of history’s most scandalous characters, a glittering life of excess and a tragic end, we’re awaiting the release with bated breath. Here's everything we know so far.

Barbara Stanwyck is superb as the hypochondriac heiress who overhears a plot for murder in 1948's suspense film noir, "Sorry, Wrong Number." Based on Lucille Fletcher's classic radio play, who also expanded the tale to film length. Stanwyck makes the spoiled, neurotic character empathetic & the gradual descent into terror most believable. Burt Lancaster is solid as the shady husband, Ed Begley perfect as her big daddy, & Wendell Corey as her doc. But it's Barbara's show all the way, with a terrific production. My take:

You know it’s true

Tyler Perry is facing an accusation of sexual assault -- a claim coming from an actor on his long-running TV show, "The Oval," and one Tyler's camp calls a "scam" ... TMZ has learned.

Derek Dixon filed a lawsuit against Perry, and in the docs he claims he and the director met at an event back in 2019 -- in Derek's words, Tyler picked him out of the crowd and asked for his phone number, suggesting he might have a role for him.

As it turns out, he did ... Derek says Tyler gave him a small role in 2 episodes of a show called, "Ruthless."

Then, in January 2020, Derek says Tyler invited him to his Atlanta home, and he accepted, hoping to build a friendship that would lead to more acting gigs. But, according to the suit, while there ... Derek drank too much, and ended up sleeping in a guest room.

In the docs, obtained by TMZ, Derek claims Tyler got into the bed with him, and started touching his thighs -- and, although, he rejected the advances that night ... he claims Tyler remained interested.

Shortly thereafter, Derek says he landed the role of Dale in "The Oval" -- great for his career, but he claims it was around this time that Tyler also started firing off sexually suggestive texts ... including asking what Drew's sexual preferences were, and telling him he has sex with men.

Derek also notes his character, Dale, was written as a gay, homeless and desperate store clerk who had to sleep with other characters for a place to stay. He claims that's exactly what Tyler told him he was looking for in a real life sexual partner ... someone who would be loyal and dependent upon Tyler.

Derek says he feared his career would be derailed if he flatly rejected Tyler -- so, instead he told him he just wasn't "the sexual type" ... but he was always terrified he'd lose his job if he complained of sexual harassment.

To that point, he says Tyler, once again, invited him to Atlanta later in 2020 ... and things allegedly took a dark turn. Derek claims Perry greeted him warmly, but quickly started a sexually charged conversation -- like asking him if he "likes it rough in bed" -- and then grabbed Derek by the throat while saying, "Look how excited you just got."

He says he pushed Tyler away, and that was the end of that alleged incident.

The lawsuit includes years of text messages allegedly sent by between both men -- most of the ones Tyler allegedly sent are sexually charged ... for instance one reads, "No straight man would be going on walks with you or cooking dinner for you unless they wanted to f**k you. I would f**k you."

The most aggressive incident allegedly went down in June 2021, again at Tyler's Atlanta home -- Dixon was staying in the guest house and wearing only his underwear, when he says Tyler came in to give him a goodnight hug.

He alleges Tyler yanked down his underwear, groped his butt and said, "Relax and just let it happen" and assured him it wasn't going to hurt. Dixon says he managed to rebuff this advance by changing the subject.

According to the suit, Dixon finally filed a complaint with Equal Employment and Opportunity Commission in June 2024, and then quit "The Oval," saying he could no longer put up with the alleged sexual harassment.

Dixon is suing Tyler and Tyler Perry Studios for quid pro quo and workplace sexual harassment and sexual assault and battery ... and he's seeking $260 million in damages.

Tyler's attorney Matthew Boyd tells us, "This is an individual who got close to Tyler Perry for what now appears to be nothing more than setting up a scam. But Tyler will not be shaken down and we are confident these fabricated claims of harassment will fail.”

Influencer Joshua Blackledge has died at age 16.

According to local news outlet Carolina Coast Online, he died on Tuesday, March 18, at his home in Newport, North Carolina, though a cause of death has yet to be specified.

The late influencer — a junior at West Carteret High School with 1.1 million followers on TikTok — was honored with a "celebration of life" on Sunday, March 23. Hundreds of Blackledge's friends, fans and followers also flocked to the obituary site to share their condolences in comments, as they did on his most recent social media posts.

David Michael Hawkins released the song “Sin,” which in a statement a week before its June 20 release, he called “the most vulnerable song of my life.”

“It’s raw, redemptive, and rooted in truth,” Hawkins wrote. “‘SIN’ isn’t just a single — it’s a lifeline, for anyone who’s ever felt like they don’t belong in country music, at home, or with themselves.”

Hawkins is openly gay and openly living with HIV, and claims on his website he is the only country music singer that falls into those categories.

I had a muscular guy say I was SEXY. He returned later and again called me SEXY- and bit later this slim guy said my penis was beautiful.

I cannot complain it was a good night overall but nevertheless I bothered by the fact that some guys walked by my room and did not seem to notice me- also an attractive Latino lingered and rubbed outside my room but I got shy so he moved on- oh well.

WaPo: The National Institutes of Health’s support for federal guidelines that steer the treatment of more than a million HIV patients in the United States will be phased out by next June, according to the agency’s Office of AIDS Research, a move that troubled some doctors and raised questions about whether the guidelines themselves will change.

The guidelines, detailed recommendations on how to diagnose and treat medical conditions, can affect what tests, treatments and medications are covered by insurance companies and Medicare.

Debbie will kill to get back on the panel

[quote]A routine cooking segment on The View shattered into a heart-stopping medical emergency this week when co-host Sunny Hostin endured an on-air allergic reaction. The harrowing incident began innocently enough. Former co-host Debbie Matenopoulos visited the set, bringing delectable samples from her new cookbook, GREEK.ish.

[quote]Hostin, unsuspecting of the danger, tasted a dish. The turning point arrived when co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin posed a question that pierced the lighthearted mood: "Are those walnuts in here?" Matenopoulos's direct "yes" triggered an immediate wave of terror for Hostin, who suffers from a severe walnut allergy.

Paris Hilton has purchased Mark Wahlberg’s former mansion after losing her Malibu home during the Los Angeles wildfires earlier this year.

The 44-year-old CEO of 11:11 Media is the new owner of a roughly 30,500-square-foot, 12-bedroom Beverly Park property previously owned by the Flight Risk star, 54, for $63 million, The Wall Street Journal reported.

Wahlberg and his wife Rhea Durham sold the estate for $55 million in February 2023, making it the priciest home sale in Southern California that year.

Her brother, Barron N. Hilton, of Hilton Hilton, represented her in the purchase.

I’ve decided on a Lexus ES, used. Years 2019 on up.

How many miles are too many miles on one of these?

Should I go Hybrid, or straight up gasoline? Please explain why you recommend one over the other.

What should I specifically look for when attempting to purchase one?

Tip? Tricks?

Please advise.

TIA for your much needed input!

So many to choose from!

And obviously it isn't Angel, Gambler or Celebration. And it definitely isn't Hollywood, which reminds me, where did you get them jeans!

We can also discuss Oakdale, and Monticello, Henderson, Madison.....and that deadly dull Bauer barbeque, too.

Pitt was in the Big Apple to promote his new movie "F1," and stayed at the Whitby Hotel in midtown with his girlfriend, Ines de Ramon. Surprisingly, Jolie also showed up in the city, although the exact reason for her trip to New York remains unclear.

"Angelina said she was going to move to New York two years ago, but didn't quite get the glowing reception she thought she deserved, so she went back to LA," a Hollywood insider told News Nation.

"It's just insane that Angelina would show up in the city the same week of Brad's premiere," the insider added. "She just can't stand for him to get any good press. It's like she's haunting him."

Now we know one of them googled "how long to die in the snow" at 2:30 in the morning from inside the house. The FBI will testify that the car didn't kill John O'Keefe. The investigation is now under investigation. So many lies, so many secrets. Somebody in the house flipped.

Buckle up, buckaroo.

Michelle Obama says she’s “so glad” she never had a son — because he would’ve been a kiddie clone of her husband.

“You should’ve threw a boy in the mix,” radio host Angie Martinez told Obama in an episode of the former first lady’s “IMO” podcast released Wednesday.

The remark came as Obama and her brother, Craig Robinson, along with Martinez, discussed society’s view of masculinity and the challenges of raising boys and young men.

[quote]Pakistan said on Saturday it would recommend U.S. President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, an accolade that he has said he craves, for his work in helping to resolve the recent conflict between India and Pakistan.

What exactly does he mean by that? If the Trump administration had already collapsed, wouldn’t Trump be gone? Or at least not continuing to wreak havoc.

A 37-year-old U.S. citizen who was tackled to the ground and arrested after filming federal agents at Home Depot on Thursday said he was held for more than an hour near Dodger Stadium, where agents boasted about how many immigrants they arrested.

“How many bodies did you guys grab today?” he said one agent asked.

“Oh, we grabbed 31,“ the other replied.

"That was a good day today," the first agent responded.

Vice President JD Vance bashed Democrats at the state, local and national levels Friday during his visit to Los Angeles, accusing top California officials of encouraging violent protesters and Sen. Alex Padilla, whom he referred to as "José Padilla," of engaging in "political theater."

“I was hoping José Padilla would be here to ask a question. But, unfortunately, I guess he decided not to show up because there wasn’t the theater, and that’s all it is,” Vance said. “It’s pure political theater. These guys show up. They want to be captured on camera doing something.”

McDonald's is set to join the growing list of companies subject to boycotts this year, led by a group advocating for "economic resistance" as a means toward corporate accountability and "real justice for the working class."

As part of its ongoing "Economic Blackout Tour," The People's Union USA, the movement behind boycotts of Target and Walmart, is urging Americans to refrain from shopping at the restaurant chain between June 24 and 30.

The first half of 2025 has been marked by boycotts of several household-name companies, sparked by certain corporations rolling back diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives, as well as wider pushback against practices such as tax avoidance and underpaying workers.

The boycotts are being led by The People's Union USA, described on its website as "a grassroots movement focused on economic resistance, corporate accountability, and real justice for the working class."

Since February, the group has orchestrated boycotts of Amazon, Walmart and Target, as well as periodic "economic blackouts," during which it says Americans should "avoid shopping, streaming, online orders, fast food, and everything in between," and rely exclusively on small, local businesses.

The McDonald's boycott has received less attention than the campaigns against Walmart, Amazon and Target, the latter of which Schwarz said should be subject to a "permanent boycott" in order to feel "the full power of the people."

Earlier this year, The People's Union USA published a list of core grievances with each targeted company to its website, largely centered around tax avoidance, conditions of workers and general monopolistic practices. McDonald's was included in the list for "tax avoidance and known lobbying against wage increases," issues that have in recent years resulted in significant criticism of the company, as well as legal consequences.

John Schwarz, founder of The People's Union USA, in a video posted to Instagram in late May: "Economic resistance is working. Target, Walmart and Amazon are all feeling it, talking about it. They are talking about the boycotts. They are talking about The People's Union USA. My friends, we are fighting for these corporations to finally pay their fair share of federal income taxes to alleviate that from the American worker. We are also fighting for these companies to hold manufacturers and themselves to a reasonable profit margin cap and equality across the board."

This thread will be about:

What’s next? How fast will it be? How can you protect yourself?

And finally, remove all fear from this thread. We are past that. This is about acceptance, not denial. If you aren’t ready for that, it’s ok, but we cannot have hysteria.

I know people. I have insider info plus open source, though I will not connect to any of my sources, you’ll need to verify what I’m telling you on your own, and you SHOULD do that.

How did it work out?

I once met a guy who was 13 years older than me. We had some hot sex but he wanted to date me. I didn’t because of various circumstances at the time, and he ended up passing away from cancer, but he was a really nice guy, and I always wonder what might have been.

Yeah, we're 6 months into this year you fucking dumbass. We're into your second quarter as a disaster.

Trump has signed a record number of executive orders affecting everything from immigration and climate change to medical research and geography.

In addition to reshaping America's foreign and domestic policy, he also has plans to alter the White House itself. According to new reporting from the New York Times, President Trump would like to pave the historic White House Rose Garden so it more resembles his Palm Beach resort, Mar-a-Lago.

The president “has told associates that he wants to rip up the grass in the Rose Garden, one of the White House’s most iconic and meticulously maintained spots, and replace it with a hard surface to resemble a patio like the one he has at Mar-a-Lago.” Conversations about the proposed changes are reportedly happening almost every day.

Would your body suddenly catch-up? Sprouting hair, voice deepening, growing taller, etc. (asking for a friend)?

I have to pull out and jerk off. That's the only way I can cum.

Does any other man have this problem?

I miss how when you were in a new town, you'd use the Damron guide to locate the gay bars. The bars themselves were usually camouflaged. They rarely had any windows, so we patrons could feel we had our privacy. All of the men there had similar reasons for being there and we understood that. There were no straight tourists and certainly never hoards of straight women having bachelorette parties, acting like they owned the place because they were heterosexual and were women.

I miss talking in code when in public, or when talking with someone you wanted to cruise, but weren't sure about, dropping hairpins.

I miss being afraid to go into a Lesbian venue alone, for fear you'd be taken as a straight guy on the prowl.

I miss having people at least act surprised to find out you're gay. (On the other hand, I don't miss the "oh, I knew it!" reactions)

I miss understanding things going on around you that straight people didn't understand. (Like the guy crawling out of the bushes at the park.)

I know you have to be an eldergay to know what it was like. So what. No one has yet been able to escape aging (well, other than Paul Rudd). But anyone have anything else they kind of liked about the bad old days?

Oh, and I miss not being old.

Over and over I have tried the following foods hoping my taste buds will change, yet I still hate them. Is there a genetic component ( like those who despise cilantro) or is it learned? If I have these foods given to me at a restaurant or a dinner party, I politely will eat them and swallow without grimace but I abhor the flavors.

Am I alone?

both wearing short shorts, for some reason.

I've never understood why they can't see how damaging all the soap opera antics have been for the institution. Are they really that short sighted? Why not grow the appeal of the monarchy and the family by letting all that crap fade away? Or is it just that they can't see past their own issues? How much of this is orchestrated by the 'gray men'?

[quote]As Elon Musk became one of Donald J. Trump’s closest allies last year, leading raucous rallies and donating about $275 million to help him win the presidency, he was also using drugs far more intensely than previously known, according to people familiar with his activities.

[quote]Mr. Musk’s drug consumption went well beyond occasional use. He told people he was taking so much ketamine, a powerful anesthetic, that it was affecting his bladder, a known effect of chronic use. He took Ecstasy and psychedelic mushrooms. And he traveled with a daily medication box that held about 20 pills, including ones with the markings of the stimulant Adderall, according to a photo of the box and people who have seen it.

[quote]It is unclear whether Mr. Musk, 53, was taking drugs when he became a fixture at the White House this year and was handed the power to slash the federal bureaucracy. But he has exhibited erratic behavior, insulting cabinet members, gesturing like a Nazi and garbling his answers in a staged interview.

[quote]Mr. Musk had been using ketamine often, sometimes daily, and mixing it with other drugs, according to people familiar with his consumption. The line between medical use and recreation was blurry, troubling some people close to him. He also took Ecstasy and psychedelic mushrooms at private gatherings across the United States and in at least one other country, according to those who attended the events.

The article also drags him for his "messy consequences of his efforts to produce more babies." Clearly someone with an axe to grind has loose lips...could it be a certain ghoul whose wife is about to leave him?

Scott Wolf’s estranged wife, Kelley Wolf, hit up a bar shortly after she was released from the hospital.

Kelley took to Instagram Wednesday to post a photo of her right hand resting on a bar, next to what looked like a margarita. Among the many bracelets on her wrist was an apparent hospital band.

The copy atop the picture read, “Hi,” while the caption read, “God bless 🇺🇸.”

The Louvre, the world’s most-visited museum and a global symbol of art, beauty and endurance, has withstood war, terror, and pandemic — but on Monday, it was brought to a halt by its own staff, who say the institution is crumbling under the weight of mass tourism.

It was an almost unthinkable sight: the home to works by Leonardo da Vinci and millennia of civilization’s greatest treasures — paralyzed in a strike by the very people tasked with welcoming the world to its galleries.

Thousands of stranded and confused visitors, tickets in hand, were corralled into unmoving lines beneath I.M. Pei's glass pyramid.

Remember the discoloration was noticed earlier this year?

Well, it’s still there, but worse. His hand looks bumpy and swollen and it’s had makeup slathered all over it.

Hand cancer?

The funnest thing is when they claimed, get this: he’s shaking hands all day so that’s why his hand is brown. Is he shaking hands with DL’s scat troll?

Ultra clear footage to fap your heart's content to.

In lieu of the flop that was Bros., let's discuss The Birdcage. Easily one of the funniest movies of all time. Probably the best gay-themed movie of all time. The Birdcage is a farce with great jokes, great acting, and great fun!

The continuing adventures of the hunk and his twunk.

Summer is among us, and, as a treat, I thought it would be a hoot to recommend the murder mystery film Death on the Nile (1978).

With the success of Murder on the Orient Express in 1974, it was inevitable that EMI and Paramount would find another Agatha Christie whodunit to adapt. Four years later, they gave audiences another all-star mystery, another exotic locale, and another corpse, or five, in a stateroom. With EMI looking to go in a different director from Murder, they turned to John Guillermin to director, fresh off King Kong and The Towering Inferno.

Albert Finney respectfully declined to portray Poirot again, citing the make up and the grueling heat, so EMI turned to the stage and film actor/director Peter Ustinov. Ustinov would go on to play Poirot five more times.

To round out the who's who in the whodunit, Guillermin found an almost equally powerhouse cast as Murder- Mia Farrow, David Niven, Angela Lansbury, Simon MacCorkindale, Maggie Smith, George Kennedy, Olivia Hussey, Jack Warden, Lois Chiles, Jon Finch, Jae Birkin, and Bette Davis.

With a script by Anthony Shaffer, score by Nino Rota, and costumes by Anthony Powell, Death on the Nile is a perfect summer holiday film to enjoy.

I love cute twinks. I know it's not a very popular opinion here on DL where everyone worships muscles and body hair, but I can't be the only one, right?

I never was a huge fan of the 2 lead actors who peaked in my college years so I didn't bother previously.

The movie is on 1 of the Starz channels now

I must say the acting is pretty good so far.

It's annoying though that Heath Ledger in almost every scene is smoking. I get it, the film takes place in the 60s but ugh so unattractive.

Waiting for the love scenes. Heath looks older than mid 20s here. Jake brings a boyishness to his role

On Tuesday, June 10, Kelley Wolf announced that she and the actor, 57, are parting ways weeks after their 21st wedding anniversary. Hours later, he spoke out about the split in a heartfelt statement.

"After 21 years of marriage, I have made the most difficult decision of my life, and filed for divorce from my wife Kelley,” he said. “Our children have always been, and continue to be, the loves of our lives and our every priority, so I kindly ask for privacy at this time as we help guide them through this new chapter."

The pair, who first met in 2002 and tied the knot in 2004, share three children: Jackson, 16, Miller, 12, and Lucy, 11.

She is remembered as the ultimate reclusive film star, following her shock retirement at the height of her success. But the enduring image of Greta Garbo is being challenged by a new documentary, which will show that, far from withdrawing from life – as in her most famous line, “I want to be alone” – she lived it to the full, partying with close friends.

The British film-maker Lorna Tucker has been given access to previously unseen behind the scenes footage in which the star, once described as “the most alluring, vibrant and yet aloof character ever to grace the motion picture screen”, can be seen larking about and laughing.

Very HAIRSPRAY

The guys are rather cute - and in this rare instance don't seem particularly gay.

The guy he’s marrying deserves what he gets.

Apparently DVD and VHS are the new Vinyl. All these young kids are buying DVDs, VHS tapes, and their respective players. They like the tangible movies, that they actually own them, and they won’t disappear from the streaming platform. Do you still have either format? Do you have a collection, what’s in it?

I hear CDs are making a slow comeback too.

He has been detained for three months.

Four senior executives at Palantir, Meta, and OpenAI have been formally appointed lieutenant colonels in the US Army following the creation of a “special” unit created for rich Big Tech mavens seeking military leadership roles.

On June 13, the Army announced the creation of Detachment 201, otherwise known as the “Executive Innovation Corps,” which it describes as “a new initiative designed to fuse cutting-edge tech expertise with military innovation.”

Four ultra-wealthy executives from top tech companies were sworn in to the unit ahead of President Trump’s heavily promoted military parade, which was itself sponsored by Palantir. The Army’s top spokesman declared that Detachment 201 was “being created to bring in tech innovation executives leaders to help the Army” with the recruitment and the subsequent training of “tech focused people.”

“By bringing private-sector know-how into uniform, Det. 201 is supercharging efforts like the Army Transformation Initiative, which aims to make the force leaner, smarter, and more lethal,” the Army wrote in an official statement.

Deidre Hall and Brenda Dickson please take notes.

Do you believe in the Ancient Astronaut theory pushed by the series and by authors like Erich Von Daniken?

It's the theory that there were alien civilizations on Earth in ancient times in places like Egypt and Peru. Some go even further by saying that humans are hybrids and that these aliens mixed their DNA with the primitive life they found on Earth. They say it explains the missing link in the evolution of man and that 30,000 years ago we went from cave monkeys drawing on the walls with our own poop to intelligent humans with advanced scientific knowledge. They believe that we evolved natural from chimps but up to a certain point and then there was an intervention from higher beings. It would explain the dual nature of humans.

[quote] The Los Angeles Dodgers announced Thursday they blocked federal immigration agents from entering their stadium as dozens of anti-ICE protesters gathered outside the sports venue. On social media, the MLB team said that federal agents working with Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrived at the stadium and "requested permission to access the parking lots." "They were denied entry to the grounds by the organization," the Dodgers said, adding that their game against the Padres will go on at the stadium as scheduled.

An estimated 11.6 million Americans marched today all over the country. We had over 75,000 in Chicago alone. This is the absolutely critical population percentage that has historically proved requisite for real social change to happen.

Who came up with this line? I know they used it in The Golden Girls but I know for a fact that my grandmother said it decades earlier. Anyone know?

My city’s Pride parade this weekend is being labeled as such. So, the Ts have moved up to the front? I’ve never seen this before.

Young men are driving a growing surge in Catholicism among Gen Z, as they turn to faith as an answer to loneliness, cultural drift and a search for purpose.

A Harvard University study shows that Gen Zers who identified as Catholic rose by 6% between 2022 and 2023, a shift that Father Michael Tidd — headmaster of Delbarton School, a Benedictine Catholic school for young men in grades 7-12 in Morristown, New Jersey — says he has witnessed himself.

"We present our students with an experience of what it means to be a follower of Jesus Christ. We propose, we don't impose, and they come to us, and that seems to be really resonant with them," he shared with "Fox & Friends" on Thursday.

"For the last several years, we have also had students be received into the church, either be baptized as Catholics for the first time or to receive all of their sacraments, because the experience that they have had here… of what it means particularly to be a man in our society, what it needs to be a believing man, a Catholic Christian man, really resonates with our students. And the larger things that you read about in our society about how… what it means to be man, is really a difficult question for a lot of young men to answer. I think our school and the Catholic Church more broadly and the Catholic faith more broadly provide a compelling answer to that."

Father Tidd said he sees students responding to that question in a faith-based way "every day."

Students at Delbarton come from a variety of backgrounds – some from practicing Catholic families, others from non-Catholic families – but all are presented with what it means to be a Catholic Christian both in the theology classroom and while doing service out in the world.

Days after an insider told PEOPLE that the couple experienced strain in their relationship amid the release of her latest album 143, another source says there may be no turning back.

“They're pretty much done," a source said, adding that they "don’t really see them being able to turn things around here." The source adds, "It’s been breaking down the last couple of months and isn’t looking good.”

Perry, 40, is on the road for her Lifetimes world tour, and the source says she and Bloom are on different pages when it comes to how they want their lives to look.

JoJo was later supported by her other housemates, admitting that she is “afraid” to speak about how she is feeling publicly because she’s “not sure” about how she identifies.

During the show’s livestream, viewers saw JoJo excitedly open up to drag performer Danny Beard, saying: “I feel, like, so queer, do you know what I mean? I think that’s the thing, I’ve always told myself I’m a lesbian, and I think being here I’ve realized: ‘Oh, I’m not a lesbian, I’m queer,' and I think that’s really cool.”

She had some great songs but they never were embraced in the USA but were in some other countries.

Why do you think?

One Day In Your Life was a great song

Oh. That’s sad.

I had his calendar.

Because the new one looks like trash.

Is this a show worth rebooting?

Kathleen Chalfant plays Ruth, a woman who moves into an assisted living facility and adapts to her new life.

A New York woman was arrested in Queens on Tuesday after allegedly assaulting a woman on a Southwest Airlines flight bound for Kansas City from LaGuardia Airport, according to an email from the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.

Leanna Perry, 32, faces one count each of second-degree obstruction of governmental administration, resisting arrest and disorderly conduct, and three counts each of third-degree attempted assault and second-degree harassment with physical contact.

Yeah, this pretty much sums it up

I had lunch with a straight male friend, his sister, and our mutual gay male friend. We started talking about random hookups. Straight friend and I both admitted that we have hooked up with a lot of people just for fun. His sister and mutual gay friend were full of over-dramatic pearl clutchery. "Omg, that's so trashy." "Where do you even find these people?" "What if you catch something?" "I'm not the hookup type." - all that bullshit.

Why on earth does anyone care? It's just fun sex. Why do we still, in 2025, have hangups about casual sex?

Hailed as the architect of drilling and discipline that continue to shape the U.S. Army today, Baron Friedrich Wilhelm von Steuben is honored by many. Gen. George Washington wrote a fawning letter to von Steuben, his last in the final hours of Washington’s commission on Dec. 23, 1783, “to signifie in the strongest terms my entire approbation of your conduct,” after years of von Steuben’s faithful service. Congress voted to make one of the grand monuments in Lafayette Square across from the White House an ode to the Prussian officer who crossed the Atlantic to turn a farraginous group of untrained militiamen into the unified fighting force that beat the world’s dominant military power in the Revolutionary War.

To this day, memorial wreaths are placed at the base of this statue.

"Too many non-working holidays in America," Trump wrote on Truth Social late Thursday. "It is costing our Country $BILLIONS OF DOLLARS to keep all of these businesses closed."

Trump said that the frequency of holidays "must change" and that workers didn't want them, either.

"The workers don't want it either!" he continued. "Soon we'll end up having a holiday for every once working day of the year. It must change if we are going to, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!"

I'm spending my Christmas Eve cleaning my apartment and binge-watching Hoarders.

A guy I fooled around with 25 years ago (and keep in touch on Facebook) messaged me in a panic because a picture he took of him blowing me was on Recon in someone’s gallery. He thought I put it on there. I didn’t. But you can’t see our faces and I was in good shape!

I hope someone is getting laid from that pic. But it’s got that little orange time stamp that screams “this image is 20 years old!” It may as well have a Manhunt logo watermarked on it.

Shouldn't this list be updated?

Most of these actors and actresses are from the early 1900's, and almost all have died.

We've had many modern day stars who should be high up on that list, such as Warren Beatty, Sally Field, Shirley Maclaine, Robert DeNiro, Faye Dunaway, Robert Redford, etc.

And even more recently, Tom Hanks, Sally Field, Brad Pitt, and Julia Roberts.

So many on the list wouldn't even be recognized by people today.

There are so many now it's hard to keep up.

I didn't include Marcia Gay Harden as she claims to have a gay kid, a non binary kid and a gender fluid kid and I think she's just an attention seeker.

I learned lots of new facts about the show after watching this one.

Tyler Perry was hit this week with a $260 million sexual harassment and assault lawsuit from “The Oval” actor and screenwriter Derek Dixon.

The lawsuit, filed on Friday in Los Angeles, alleges the entertainment mogul promised Dixon career advancement during the time of his “sustained” advances and used his position of power to retaliate when they weren’t reciprocated.

“These events occurred while Mr. Dixon was employed as a series regular on the Tyler Perry show ‘The Oval,’ and while Mr. Perry held direct control over his employment, compensation and creative opportunities.”

A man in the process of obtaining permanent residency in the United States was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents while sightseeing at the Grand Canyon, his boyfriend told Newsweek.

Ricardo Dominguez of Kissimmee, Florida, told Newsweek that his boyfriend Juan Vita Leite Pinto, a Brazilian national with a valid Florida ID and work permit, was taken into custody by ICE agents over Memorial Day weekend while visiting the Grand Canyon.

While Vita Leite Pinto lives in Orlando, he was out west for work as a harvester at the time. Only one week earlier, the couple visited the Hoover Dam with no issues, Dominguez said in a phone interview on Thursday. But when Vita Leite-Pinto visited the Grand Canyon, he was stopped by immigration agents. He presented his Florida ID card but was told that was not sufficient.

He has been held in ICE custody for the weeks since then.

Benjamin Netanyahu has evoked the spirit of London during the blitz, and pointed to his own family’s sacrifice amid the blood, toil, tears and sweat of his nation: the second postponement of his son’s wedding.

Netanyahu’s remarks, solemnly delivered to the cameras against the backdrop of a missile-struck hospital building in the southern city of Beersheba, set off a howl of derision that echoed around the Hebrew-language internet, at the height of a war that Netanyahu unleashed.

The stunning comments also added grist to the arguments of his critics that the PM is increasingly cut off emotionally from the daily realities of Israel and the region, after more than 17 years in office.

This guy has an interesting job to say the least…

An additional 30% of baby boomers who own their home say they’ll hold onto it for at least a decade.

One-third (33.5%) of baby boomers who own their home say they’ll never sell, according to a recent Redfin-commissioned survey. Another 30% say they’ll sell their home at some point, but not within the next decade.

Older people are even less likely to sell, with nearly half (44.6%) of Silent Generation members never planning to sell.

Younger homeowners are more likely to eventually part ways with their house: 25% of Gen Xers and 21% of millennial/Gen Zers say they’ll never sell.

The survey findings in this report are from a Redfin-commissioned survey conducted by Ipsos in May 2025, fielded to roughly 4,000 U.S. residents. This report focuses on homeowners who answered a question about when they are likely to sell their home: 170 members of the Silent Generation, 718 baby boomers, 434 GenXers, and 382 millennials/Gen Zers. The second section of the report focuses on homeowners who answered a question about why they are not selling: 519 baby boomers, 283 Gen Xers and 171 millennials/Gen Zers.

There are several financial and lifestyle reasons why older Americans are much more likely than younger Americans to stay put. Many baby boomers who own their home don’t have a financial incentive to sell.

Additionally, many older homeowners have lived in their home for a long time and simply prefer to stay put; roughly two-thirds (67%) of baby boomer homeowners have lived in their home for 16-plus years.

When asked in the survey why they’re staying in their current home, most baby boomers (55%) said they just like their home and have no reason to move, making that the most commonly cited reason.

The next-most common reasons are financial: 30% said their home is almost or completely paid off, 16% said today’s home prices are too high, and 8% don’t want to give up their low mortgage rate.

that grips My Dick while someone else is Balls Deep in Me 😈😈😈💦

Barrett Oliver. Entire family is nuts. How sad. People who grew up with Barrett said that he was obviously gay but brainwashed by Scientology.

Money goes to the Treasury/Fed not to Congress. No one would call the President and engage is such a stupid sounding conversation.

He is so full of shit. Congress wouldn't know as its an executive branch responsibility through the treasury. Having said that, Trump is bragging that Americans paid $88 billion more in taxes in the first four months of the year.

But I really want RFK Jr. in me, quite deeply.

Wow.

This week I went to two different coffee cafes and ordered small coffees. In both, the takeout cups seem smaller than they used to be.

My ass is still sore.

The president has golfed 37 out of his first 152 days in office. That is nearly a quarter — 24.3% — of his time during this second term out on the golf course. The bill for that comes in at a whopping $51,800,000.

That’s right, nearly $52 million dollars spent golfing since January.

Not as bad as I thought it would be. Even Gia is watchable.

Still lying to everyone instead of just admitting it's what she used the ENTIRE time (and is likely still using it).

Just fully own up to it, you idiot.

HOP discriminates against us. By "us," I refer to gay, lesbian and transgender members of the NYPD. They won't allow GOAL (Gay Officers Action League) to march in uniform. The refusal is based on how the gay community was treated by some cops 50 Years ago. It's 2025, time to wake-up HOP !!!!

There are so many that I would like to see!

"After a year and 11 court-approved continuances, he will appear in court this Friday. In a letter from his defense attorney, it states that he “intends to plead guilty to a mandatory minimum charge with a significant advisory range under the United States Sentencing Guidelines.” This type of pornography charge carries a mandatory prison sentence."

PERVERT!

I think for me it’s when a guy is either taking a fist or an enormous cock and he just has this vacant stare like he’s either on drugs or just mentally checked out to get through it.

Other than the random killing, he seems like a nice boy.

Trump again dismissed Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, this time telling reporters she was “wrong” to have told a Senate committee that Iran was not building a nuclear weapon.

A reporter asked Trump, who has insisted Iran is “a few weeks” from completing a nuclear weapon, where he is getting that information, given that his own intelligence team has offered a different assessment.

“I don’t care what she said,” Trump told reporters on Tuesday. “I think they were very close to having them.”

The wise ass little punk thought there wouldn't be consequences.

So much slapping! I’m so happy to see Tamara Tunie as its centerpiece.

She's paid many "Sylvia Browne" type mediums, all of them bullshitters and now wants to know if she should give up or if real mediums exist and where?

Based on the most disturbing movie thread, what is the most boring movie you have ever seen?

No, not another remake of that Richard Madden show about EMS workers, this one is about metaphorical sirens. With Julianne Moore, Kevin Bacon, Meghann Fahy, and Milly Alcock.

[quote]Told over the course of one explosive weekend at The Kells’ lavish beach estate, the show is billed as an incisive, sexy, and darkly funny exploration of women, power, and class. The series is an adaptation of Molly Smith Metzler's play Elemeno Pea.

Only five episodes, out May 22. Are we watching this or what?

The chance to do improv, salsa lessons, and a storytelling workshop with 200+ other wedding guests would be hard to turn down. BYOB!

Go on.

I’m assuming Crowe will play Ramirez.

Do you have someone come to your house once or twice a month to do dusting, vacuuming, etc.? I used to think it was just the wealthy, but I know middle class people who pay for this.

I guess it may not be too different from paying someone to mow your lawn.

You can’t buy this type of publicity.

Granted its Str8upgayporn but no one else is following this. It looks like he won't be doing a lot of time.

[quote]First unveiled as a serialized audiobook before hitting bookstands in 2023, The Shards is a dark coming-of-age tale with semi-autobiographical facets for Ellis. Set in Los Angeles in 1981, the story follows a 17-year-old version of Ellis during his final year at the elite Buckley prep school. Upending the character’s world is the arrival of a mysterious new student, Robert Mallory, whose unsettling presence coincides with the activities of a serial killer known as The Trawler.

Ryan Murphy has revealed a first look at his JFK Jr. and Carolyn.

In images post by the Ryan Murphy Productions Instagram account Friday, actors Sarah Pidgeon and Paul Kelly are in full costume and makeup to portray John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette for Murphy’s upcoming FX series “American Love Story.”

The show will Follow the relationship between John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy. Naomi Watts also stars as Jackie Kennedy.

We just don't talk about it enough.

Or the fact that it was adapted two books, "The Tower" and "The Glass Inferno." (And when they put the two titles together, they got...)

Or the fact that in the movie Faye gets to wear the best dress evder to appear in a 70s film: "... and Faye Dunaway manages to look goddessy-beautiful through it all, wandering through the chaos in puce see-through chiffon" (Pauline Kael).

Then in bizarre turnaround plays the victim and claims "death threat."

WTF is going on in that state???

I am a compulsive eater. I don’t drink any alcohol, don’t smoke and don’t take drugs at all. But I can’t control my eating and yes, I am very fat. Not monstrously obese, but yes, very fat. Regular fat in American terms. I can’t stop eating throughout the day and I eat total crap, junk food, etc.

I don’t want to talk about the minutiae of my diet, but rather my inability to control this one area of my life, when I am mostly very in control of other elements of my life.

What is the origin of compulsive behaviour? Why do I spend all day promising myself that I won’t each junk or will only eat three meals a day and five minutes later, I am eating again. Like Oprah, who seems to exert willpower in other areas of her life, but couldn’t stop eating (I know she is thin now with Ozempic).

I just can’t fucking stop eating!

Omg I wonder what is happening. She seems disheveled and unhinged as of lately, not her usual self. I wonder if she’s going through a mental crisis.

She now claims Scott was abusing her.

After seeing several posts on Facebook by some Arab Muslims who are friends of friends, I’m really curious about this. In the past few days, I’ve been seeing these people on Facebook post about how all the Jews need to leave the land of Palestine and “get out” because they don’t belong there, they are invaders!

Okay. From a historical perspective, Arabs were native to the Arabian peninsula. After the founding of Islam, Arab Muslims invaded and conquered all of the Middle East, all of North Africa, and, for a while, parts of southern Europe. They are still in control of most of the places they conquered, except for southern Europe. I don’t recall ever hearing any Arab Muslims apologizing for this, or saying that they shouldn’t have taken that land.

So how can Israel possibly be this contentious? The Jews wanted a tiny strip of land because they kept getting attacked and murdered in Europe, and the Arabs still want to murder them over it. Why aren’t the Arabs pressured to “leave and get out“ of the lands that they conquered?

Which is the best and gives the closest shave? TIA.

I have an interview in Philadelphia next month and will be staying in City Center. Any recommendations for places to eat or things to do? Areas to avoid?

And it can be inherited by the tennis legend's descendants. Spain’s King Felipe VI on Thursday granted tennis great Rafa Nadal the noble title of marquis, recognising his contribution to the nation through sporting prowess, according to a royal household statement.

Nadal, a 22-times Grand Slam champion who retired last year, was among six individuals honoured as part of celebrations marking the monarch’s 10th anniversary on the throne.

Former world number one Nadal, 39, will hold the title Marquis of Llevant de Mallorca, the island where he was born and lives.

Two bitches chatting!

This does not look like a Final Destination movie.

I wonder if instead of casting Don Knotts as Mr. Furley, the producers used the character to introduce America to Kenneth Williams, who would obviously have portrayed Furley as a prissy closet case. Could have been hilarious, but the American public would have hated it.

How did it survive?

Fat Joe’s former hypeman Terrance “T.A.” Dixon has filed an explosive lawsuit in federal court against the rapper on Thursday. Dixon is alleging that his former boss engaged in “coercive labor exploitation, financial fraud, sexual manipulation, violent intimidation, and psychological coercion.”

Dixon adds that the hip-hop star got rich and famous while he and his associates deliberately suppressed, silenced and erased Dixon’s substantial creative, artistic, and commercial contributions, which were foundational to Fat Joe’s professional success and personal brand.

The complaint, filed in U.S. District Court Southern District of New York, contains so many disturbing claims about Fat Joe’s alleged sexual relations with women — including minors — that it contains a trigger warning on the first page of the 157-page document.

She did a good take down of Pete Hegseth. She deserves more respect.

Though neither the network nor Burrell have publicly addressed why she’s not appearing on this season, fans weren’t shy about asking the celebrity chef where she’s been through Instagram comments.

“Why aren’t you in Worst Cooks? It’s not the same,” commented one fan, to which Burrell replied, “Honestly I don’t know. 🤷🏼‍♀️😑❤️.”

Another fan asked a similar question, writing, “Chef-how come you are not doing Worst Cooks this season. That is your show.” Burrell answered, but didn’t offer much in terms of closure, writing, “Uuuuughhh…I know. And I don’t know. 🫤🤷🏼‍♀️❤️.”

Weakest lineup in years. On the plus side, more than half of the songs aren't in English for the first time since '08. Lots of hungry twinks, too.

Model and influencer, born in 2001 and married to Lucky Blue Smith.

3 children: Rumble Honey, Slim Easy, and Whimsy Lou, with a fourth child on the way.

Nara Aziza Pellman was born on 27 September 2001 in Bloemfontein, South Africa, to a Mosotho mother and a German father. When she was an infant, the family moved to Frankfurt, Germany, where she spent the remainder of her childhood. She stated in a TikTok video that both English and German are her native languages.

Smith began modeling at 14 years old, having been discovered through the "We Love Your Genes" campaign of IMG Models. At 18, she moved to the United States, settling in California. In 2024, she became the face of Aritzia's Sweatfleece campaign.

Between late 2023 and early 2024, Smith began going viral on TikTok and other social media platforms for posting "tradwife" content depicting her cooking elaborate meals for her family from scratch while wearing designer clothing, as well as posting her unusual taste in baby names as she was early in her pregnancy with her third child. As of 2024, she has gained over 9 million followers on TikTok and over 4 million followers on Instagram.

Cybernews reported on Wednesday on its research that resulted in the online discovery of 30 datasets that include 16 billion records of user login information for “pretty much any online service imaginable,” including Apple, Facebook, and Google.

The records include a URL and login information. Since this data is what is often collected by malware, it appears that these records are a result of numerous infostealer attacks. Cybernews states that the datasets do include overlapping records, but the enormity of the data collection makes it difficult to compare individual records in order to conclude how many users have been exposed.

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.

A controversial co-founder of the messaging platform Telegram says he is dividing his fortune between his children — and he says he has at least 106 of them.

Pavel Durov, 40, told the French outlet Le Point in an interview about his decision to allocate his fortune. He's worth about $17.1 billion, per Forbes.

Father to six children via natural conception, Durov said he has also been a sperm donor for 100-plus kids in 12 countries. The billionaire first became a sperm donor to "help a friend," he said, but otherwise it was anonymous.

I thought I saw this before but it was posted (re-posted?) two days ago.

I like her. She's a good talker, and she's interesting. Notice the Emmy in the background.

There's actually another good interview--I'll try to find it.

Not even kidding

I don’t know why people hate AI

The invasion of Ukraine will weaken the US and Western Europe, but it will destroy Russia. The sanctions will cause countries to increase the speed they are pivoting away from oil and gas, Russia's economic strengths, and increase adoption of renewables.* That will boost the Chinese economy since they are the major exporter of supplies for renewables. Whether there's a bloody prolonged war and the West is distracted or Russia acquires a now worthless Ukraine without much of a fight, China will feel empowered to take Taiwan. Once the CCP has Taiwan, they'll have most of the world's computer chip manufacturing. Once they have that it's game over for most of the world. Since it's a neighbor, Xi might be nice enough to allow Russia to become a vassal state.

*while also impairing the ability of the oligarchs to safely invest in other businesses in the west.

Who's prepared to pay the price

For a trip to paradise?

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem was taken to the hospital on Tuesday, June 17, Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin confirmed in a statement to PEOPLE.

Noem, 53, was transported to a Washington, D.C. hospital. She suffered an allergic reaction and was taken to the hospital out of caution, McLaughlin said. The secretary is alert and recovering, McLaughlin confirmed.

Additionally, CNN reports that the politician is conscious and spoke with her security detail.

I was just engrossed by this. Ellen Burstyn as a British housewife who must grapple with the possibility that her best friend next door (Terri Garr) is a KGB spy. Richard Bucket has a small part.

He had a hemorrhoid removed. Should I send flowers?

He is a joke of a human being and a grifter and I just hate it that people give him the power to be the face of what used to be the gay community. It’s just sickening. He acts like a caricature of a woman and he gets painted as some hero and trailblazer.

Alright, DL. I'm hoping to get some honest testimonials for the best body groomer out there. Specifically, a good one for the bouncy boys that'll leave 'em smooth and boo-boo free. I've used several over the years, with the most recent being the Philips Norelco Bodygroom 7000 series. I like it but I've had a few unpleasant nicks while using. I've done some basic research but wanted to cut through the noise and see what DL might have to say. I'm not hairy above the waist so I'm more focused on the balls and taint. Thanks in advance.

Another loon.

Now THAT's dedication!

What was it like? Seems like the dream town - on the Palisades.

Lauren Boebert has raised eyebrows after filing an annual financial disclosure that disclosed…nothing.

The firebrand Republican congresswoman’s filing contained no assets, no income from her book, no bank accounts, and no mortgage on a home.

Boebert’s disclosure, or lack of, caused surprise among reporters, including Colorado Public Radio reporter Caitlyn Kim, who wrote: “This is a first for me.”

There is no appropriate private conversation to have after an ally retaliates against the Great Russian Bear. What could POTUS possibly talk about for 75 minutes? "I'm so sowwy, Ukraine is SO mean. Like - what-EVER! You should GET them..." WTF??? He's selling out the free world to share the spoils with Oligarchs-R-Us?

They don't have Batphones. I'll bet they both have matching pink Princess phones, dial each other with a pencil, and gossip like two teenage boomer twats.

A newer COVID-19 variant may be causing a severe sore throat in some people who contract the infection.

The variant, known as NB.1.8.1, has been nicknamed by some as "razor blade throat" due to the painful symptom. Public health experts told ABC News there is no cause for serious concern yet because the virus does not appear to be more severe than previous variants

Data from the open global genome sequencing database GISAID shows the new variant has been detected in several states, including New York, Illinois, Texas and California.

Eldergays, tell me about Greta Scacchi.

She was in quite a bit in the 1980's and 1990's, in hits such as Heat and Dust, White Mischief, Presumed Innocent, The Player, Jefferson in Paris, Emma, and Rasputin: Dark Servant of Destiny.

But by the year 2000 her career was practically over. What happened?

The brief marriages; the longterm one to the closeted Allen Ludden... and no one after that, apparently.

Was she a sister of Sappho?

She looks remarkably lifelike, considering she’s been dead since 2000.

Mitzi Perdue was born into the Sheraton hotel family, and at just the age of 26, she and her siblings inherited their father Ernest Henderson’s controlling stake of the business. The success of her family’s $12.2 billion hospitality company meant she was now sitting on a considerable nest egg.

Her fortune would only swell after marrying her late husband Frank Perdue, the “chicken king” who led America’s largest chicken-producer, Perdue Farms, which brought in over $10 billion in revenue last year. The double-heiress has the riches to retire and live a life of extravagance.

The 84-year-old has access to a trust from her family’s billion-dollar business, alongside the wealth from the Perdue empire. Yet she still lives just like anybody else: taking her shoes to the cobbler instead of buying new ones, riding the subway, flying economy, and living in a modest apartment instead of a house.

Food is still her passion.

In the 40s, she was MGM's leading lady and got all the top dramatic parts. With five consecutive Oscar nominations, she was considered the greatest actress second only to Bette Davis, a feat only Bette matched. Even Katharine Hepburn didn't have her reputation then of being the greatest (or second greatest) actress of all time.

Yet, Greer Garson is completely forgotten these days. People remember Bette Davis, Katharine Hepburn, Joan Crawford, and Barbara Stanwyck, but absolutely nobody remembers Greer Garson or any of her movies. The only movie that's somewhat still known is Mrs. Miniver and even that isn't quite the classic it used to be. Does anybody know why there's been such a cultural abandoning of Greer Garson?

Jorge Rivera, Born Jorge Pous Ribe in Mexico City, Mexico, on June 15, 1938. He was raised on a ranch and proved to be an excellent athlete, excelling in track and jai-alai. Graduating from Colegio Universitario Mexicano in 1960 with a chemical engineering degree, Rivero soon left that discipline behind and developed a taste for acting. For Rivero's first film appearance, he was cast in in Rene Cardona's wrestling movie The Invisible Assassin (1965) but wears a mask throughout the film.

His breakthrough role came with his second film, El Mexicano (1966; directed by René Cardona), making him a star overnight and household name in Mexico. After this he starred in 3 other films over the next two years.

In 1969 he starred in his most notorious role, El pecado de Adán y Eva (The Sin of Adam and Eve) where he was mostly nude in the film with his American costar Candy Wilson (a lot of bare ass).

In 1970 Hollywood took notice of the Mexican actor and offered him a role in the film ‘Soldier Blue’ alongside Donald Pleasance and Candice Bergin, and ‘Rio Lobo’ with John Wayne. Eventually he started making films in Italy and Mexico once again. He was credited as George Rivers or George River at times in the states.

He is 87 years old now and lives with his second wife Betty Moran. He splits his time between his Hollywood Hills home and Mexican Ranch. He has two sons from his first marriage (they divorced in the 1970s).

Who wants to host a refugee?

"After World War I, Britain occupied the region and established Mandatory Palestine in 1920. Increased Jewish immigration in the lead-up to the Holocaust and British foreign policy in the Middle East led to intercommunal conflict between Jews and Arabs, which escalated into a civil war in 1947 after the United Nations (UN) proposed partitioning the land between them.

After the end of the British Mandate for Palestine, Israel declared independence on 14 May 1948. Neighbouring Arab states invaded the area the next day, beginning the First Arab–Israeli War. An armistice in 1949 left Israel in control of more territory than the UN partition plan had called for; and no new independent Arab state was created as the rest of the former Mandate territory was held by Egypt and Jordan, respectively the Gaza Strip and the West Bank. The majority of Palestinian Arabs were either expelled or fled in what is known as the Nakba, with those remaining becoming the new state's main minority. Over the following decades, Israel's population increased greatly as the country received an influx of Jews who emigrated, fled or were expelled from the Arab world.

Following the 1967 Six-Day War, Israel occupied the West Bank, Gaza Strip, Egyptian Sinai Peninsula and Syrian Golan Heights. After the 1973 Yom Kippur War, Israel signed peace treaties with Egypt—returning the Sinai in 1982—and Jordan. In 1993, Israel signed the Oslo Accords, which established mutual recognition and limited Palestinian self-governance in parts of the West Bank and Gaza. In the 2020s it normalised relations with several more Arab countries via the Abraham Accords. However, efforts to resolve the Israeli–Palestinian conflict after the interim Oslo Accords have not succeeded, and the country has engaged in several wars and clashes with Palestinian militant groups"

By the way, Russia is the world’s biggest asbestos exporter….

The Trump administration plans to reconsider a ban on the last type of asbestos still used in the United States, according to a court filing on Monday.

The move, which could halt enforcement of the ban for several years during the reconsideration, is a major blow to a decades-long battle by health advocates to prohibit the carcinogenic mineral in all its forms.

Known as “white” asbestos, chrysotile asbestos is banned in more than 50 countries for its link to lung cancer and mesothelioma, a cancer that forms in the lining of internal organs. White asbestos, however, has been imported for use in the United States for roofing materials, textiles and cement as well as gaskets, clutches, brake pads and other automotive parts. It is also used in chlorine manufacturing.

Last year the Environmental Protection Agency, under President Joseph R. Biden, adopted a ban on the use, manufacture and import of chrysotile asbestos. It was the first legal constraint on a deadly substance since 2016, when Congress updated and strengthened the 1976 Toxic Substances Control Act by requiring testing and regulation of thousands of chemicals used in everyday products. The measure would have still allowed some manufacturers up to 12 years to phase out its use, a provision that followed lobbying efforts by trade groups like the American Chemistry Council.

Social Security will not be able to fully pay monthly benefits to tens of millions of retirees and people with disabilities in 2034 if lawmakers don’t act to address the program’s pending shortfall, according to an annual report released Wednesday by Social Security’s trustees.

The combined Social Security trust funds – which help support payments to the elderly, survivors and people with disabilities – are expected to be exhausted in 2034, one year earlier than previously forecast, according to the trustees’ annual report. At that time, payroll tax revenue and other income sources will only be able to cover 81% of benefits owed.

This mid-century modern just popped up on the market. The architect who designed it lived here for 50+ years with his family. It was sold a number of years ago and whoever bought it really understood it. I am very pleased to see that, and I wouldn't change much. As a child, I was friendly with the owner, and he encouraged my passion for design. It's one of those rare modern designs in rural CT that should sell for a LOT more. I am not sure if the agent doesn't understand the house or is just running numbers without understanding the integrity the house has. I would drop everything to own it, but I am in the midst of another renovation. Please buy this and have me over for cocktails.

MAGA Civil War! MAGA Civil War!

We needed a new thread because it's no longer the beginning of the new year.

What do you plan to read this summer? I'm reading John Le Carre's "The Night Manager right now as a fun read.

Idahate-o

As he weighs joining Israel’s war against Iran, Donald Trump reportedly finds himself at odds with his Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, with one White House official saying that he has “just been kind of down on her in general” of late.

Trump was recently incensed, according to Politico, by Gabbard’s decision to post a three-minute video on X in the early hours of June 10 in which she warned that “political elite and warmongers” are “carelessly fomenting fear and tensions between nuclear powers,” placing the world “on the brink of nuclear annihilation.”

Trump is said to have been angered by the video, accusing Gabbard of going “off-message” and rebuking her for it in person.

I would love to know and see pictures. To me and, I am sure, many others, he was the gold standard of physical beauty.

Never saw this - Betty White is GOOD!

Good bit of banter between the two of them!

TCM is celebrating Juneteenth today, starting this morning with the original 'Sparkle', followed by 'Say Amen Somebody', ' 'Round Midnight', 'The Wiz', and 'Krush Groove'. Worth recording and watching them on a lazy summer afternoon.

Was it a beard situation- or did they actually fuck?

Did your family ever choreograph a lipsync performance for Meemaw and Peepaw?

Harriet the Spy, her friend Janie the mad scientist, Ramona the Pest, and Nancy Drew's girlfriend George are the obvious ones, but surely there are other sapphic sisters in the books we loved as kids.

Donald Trump was unhappy with his sparsely attended military parade over the weekend and blamed it on Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, biographer Michael Wolff revealed.

Wolff told The Daily Beast Podcast that Trump wanted a “menacing” show of force to celebrate the Army’s 250th anniversary and his 79th birthday on Saturday—but got a “festive” parade instead.

“He’s p---ed off at the soldiers,” Wolff said. “He’s accusing them of hamming it up, and by that, he seems to mean that they were having a good time, that they were waving, that they were enjoying themselves and showing a convivial face rather than a military face.”

It's a simple geocites page only accessible via wayback machine. I'd imagine it's been linked/referenced here before but I can't figure out how I could confirm that. Discovered it on a similarly massive reddit celeb gossip thread. A great deal of it seems to confirm word on the street around DL (some might have directly been sourced by it), and some seems to miss the mark by quite a bit, for instance it alleges that Cosby diddled children rather than drugging/raping women (this was obviously published years and years before the first accusations came to light). Circa 2004.

On CNN News Central, Keilar expressed some doubt about a two week deadline, calling “two weeks” a longtime “verbal crutch” for the president.

“We do just need to be clear here, that would ordinarily be quite a deadline, but the president says two weeks all of the time, it’s really this kind of verbal crutch that he uses that he often doesn’t mean so it’s hard to know exactly what he means here,” Keilar said.

She then ran through a number of examples.

“He’s used this recently when he’s talking about Ukraine, what to do about Ukraine and Putin, it’s going to be in two weeks, all the way back to the beginning of his term, whether it was a healthcare plan to replace Obamacare or it was his infrastructure plan,” Keilar said. “Most of these two week promises never happen. Some of them do, but not within two or sometimes the two to three weeks as he will sometimes say. He makes a lot of these Fortnite references. And so this is really tricky as we try to parse this.”

In April, President Trump told reporters he wanted a deal to end the Russia-Ukraine war in “two weeks or less.” Trump was then asked in May whether he believes Russian President Vladimir Putin wants to end the war, and he responded, “I can’t tell you that, but I’ll let you know in about two weeks, within two weeks.”

Trump similarly used the “two weeks” model when promising a new infrastructure plan in 2017, and repeatedly in 2020 when promising a replacement for Obamacare, as Keilar referenced.

They HAVE to be making it up? Aaron Rodgers and MILES TELLER?

I woke up in the middle of the night then thought about this album. I have no idea why. Listening to it now. What a great album, incredible musicianship and lyricism. Linda was awesome. In September 2025 it will be 50 years since it release.

They are impossible to search for, even with google. Only a few will come up. Feel free to link any other good Hollywood gossip threads.

There's been a campaign by British Olympian Mara Yamauchi over male runners being able to identify as women on the Parkrun courses and claim the course records. She's been calling for sex to be the category, not gender.

Today Parkrun haves said they "will no longer publish data including most first finishes, sub-17 minute men and sub-20 minute women, and age grade or category records". They've said it's

A lot of men are furious at losing their records, men who were silent at women losing their records to other males, the men who said it was about having fun, not winning.

This is such a big even with mass participation it's going to make fairness a big issue and shine a light on female only categories.

Donald Trump's family business licensed its name to launch a U.S. mobile service and a $499 smartphone on Monday, calling it Trump Mobile, in the latest deal brokered by the president's children to capitalize on his last name while he is in office.

The new mobile venture will operate using the networks of the three major U.S. wireless carriers. Some key details about the venture, including those about the family's partner in the business and financial terms of their licensing deal, were not immediately disclosed.

"We are going to be introducing an entire package of products where people can come and they can get telemedicine on their phones for one flat monthly fee, roadside assistance on their cars, unlimited texting to 100 countries around the world," said Donald Trump Jr.

Thanks, Fox News

Tell me about the insufferable starfuckers you know. I know a guy who every single day trots out a photo of himself with a late Hollywood legend.

At first, I thought, “Oh wow! How cool was it know this person and actually get to spend a lot of time with them!”

Now I think, “You have a screw lose. You post about this person every single day and nothing else. You have a husband but never mention him. You have a family but never mention them. How sad and tragic.”

It really should be the plot of the Datalounge film. I’m picturing Sunset Boulevard mixed with Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

Poor Jennafah!

Jayne Mansfield sings Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend. Mariska calls herself "Maria" and is feisty. They have a bunch of their little dogs with them.

Sure it was brand new but what was the big deal?

And then we learn she took her dad’s clothes all the time.

Geez, Denise.

"I dedicate this award to the people in the dark and offer my most profound thanks to all of you, my community."

Knowledgable watchers of the 2025 Tony Awards June 8 may have noticed there were some awards missing from the broadcast version of the ceremony: the design awards, the book and score awards, and notably, Harvey Fierstein's acceptance speech for his 2025 Special Tony Award for Lifetime Achievement. Those awards aired during the Tony Awards: Act One pre-show, so unfortunately, people who just watched the CBS broadcast missed the speech.

I almost didn't want to post this in fear that some of you are cucked enough to want to donate to these impotent geriatrics so they can keep paying these DC consultants millions upon millions just to be told to keep doing what they've been doing because suburban whites are the only voters on earth and they'll surely come back to the Democrats - just throw more immigrants and transes under the bus, keep deepthroating Israel, and purge anyone who has the audacity to even suggest that the Democrats should start listening to plebs who make under six figures a year, it'll definitely come to fruition one of those days.

Have some self-respect amd tell them to fuck off if they start calling begging for money - or at least, tell them you'll only reconsider once they're rid of every incompetent and corrupt goon who had a hand in Biden's policymaking and Kamala's campaign. For now let AIPAC keep the Democucks afloat - they've certainly earned it.

My husband and I enjoy spending weekends in the Pennsylvania mountains = we will be poppered up in jock straps refusing no loads this weekend at Hillside Campground

Beautiful views but ghastly exterior

Miss Raúl Espadrille.

He talks about his political history.

Shad lasht daysh.

Say what you want about her, she really knew her stuff. I want to create a thread celebrating her best recipes. I will start.

Bolognese - She knocked this out of the park, worked at a chef in Italy before her fame, she knows what she's doing, not just tomato sauce and ground beef, she understands layering in the cooking process, proper browning, what a Soffritto is and how fine it need to be chopped. She puts Marcella Hazan to shame.

Make room for papa!

I'm a "thought leader", with an 'extensive record of leading transformational change in matrixed environments.'. My current role is "real estate agent/associate broker" and I'm a graduate of "High School" !

He claims, "I have to get back," because of Israel and Iran.

But I think it's because the other leaders are ignoring him.

He's such a shithead.

And what's the point of holding a G7 meeting, without the leader of the world's largest economy in attendance?

And no one knows who she is

A woman named Alainai Winters says she’s in love with her AI-generated partner — and despite the naysayers, she seems as happy as can be.

Winters, 58, lost her wife — who she met online — in 2023, and didn’t know if she would find love again.

“She’d developed a blood clot, respiratory infection and sepsis, and she died in July 2023. I was devastated,” she told The Sun.

The lucky lady is named Brittani and is very private. She isn't on social media.

She definitely exists though.

In Variety's new profile of the Hollywood Forever Cemetery — the legendary resting place for many industry titans in Los Angeles — co-owner Tyler Cassity revealed that Yelchin's parents, Irina and Viktor, visit the actor's grave nearly every day, nine years after his tragic death at 27.

"I’ve never encountered a vigil like theirs," Cassity told the outlet.

The cemetery co-owner also revealed that the Star Trek actor's parents chose Hollywood forever as Yelchin's final resting place due to the life-size bronze statue made in his likeness they wanted erected in his honor. According to Variety, such statues have a starting price at $95,000, and Yelchin's family was told other local memorial parks wouldn't allow the statue on their grounds.

I'm 46 and in Flyoverstan. I've known my female friend, 48, a lesbian, for a little more than five years. We're both out. We're discussing the possibility of entering into a lavender marriage for companionship. I have a list of pros and cons, but I wanted to see what you bitches thought. Thanks in advance!
