All your questions answered.

I ask this every summer but I want to turn on the AC in my apartment and go to the south of France or a lake town in Germany. I'm looking for films like Eric Rohmer's Green Ray, Boyfriends and Girlfriends, etc. or The Summer Hours or even fun camp like Evil Under the Sun. It's terribly bougie of me to say I prefer color over black and white and nothing violent. Any ideas wonderful gays?

My goal in life is to never wear a suit again. I used to wear on to work, but after the pandemic, I dress business casual.

Suits and ties are so fucking uncomfortable.

Her stupid husband outsmarted himself when negotiating for his wife.

Of course there must be a good reason for the continuing deletions of seemingly okay threads amid ongoing appearances of transphobia, incipient homophobia, F&F power, rightwing attacks, absurd "banning," and all, but, in the end, why bother? Does the DL, as it's managed, really offer value at this point?

Well, perhaps to someone. But the returns are diminishing. The fun is thrown into the shredder and the site model of the Wizard hidden behind the curtain is outmoded. Bitchery and overt and covert cuntery are two different expressions of community and control.

What is the point of keeping it a secret?

A New Jersey man was met with a swift dose of karma to the face on his recent Florida-bound Frontier Airlines flight after allegedly attacking another passenger ... for absolutely no reason.

Part of the wild altercation was caught on video ... and it shows in a physical struggle with the passenger behind him as onlookers urge the men to cut it out. Once the travelers cool off ... Sharma packs up his belongings like nothing even happened!

But the shiner on his face tells another story -- just check out the booking photo TMZ obtained from the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office ... Sharma's left eye is swollen and bruised, and there are several lacerations on his neck and next to his eye.

Police say Sharma allegedly grabbed the victim by the neck -- fully unprovoked -- as the victim was heading back to his seat ... after which, a physical altercation ensued.

The victim -- reportedly Keanu Evans -- walked away with only minor cuts. Sharma, on the other hand, was cuffed and taken to the hospital by Miami-Dade law enforcement ... and then locked up behind bars Tuesday once he was cleared.

He's currently in a cell at Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center in Miami-Dade County and charged with battery. He has not yet satisfied his $500 bond.

Elizabeth Berkley made a surprise appearance Saturday night at an LGBTQ Pride screening of her cult classic “Showgirls.” The movie’s showing was part of Cinespia’s 30th anniversary celebration of the film at Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Los Angeles.

“Happy Pride! I love you guys so much,” Berkley said, eliciting applause and cheers. “You have no idea, I love you so much. I just want to honor this extraordinary, powerful, bold, magical, sexy, strong, resilient LGBTQ+ community.”

She continued, “You guys saw me before anybody else saw me. You believed in me before anybody and you believed in this film and found yourself in Nomi.”

So many folks die from a combination of bad luck and bad decisions.

I have spent more than a few minutes wondering when some random bad choice will take me out.

Meanwhile, Trump puts anything he can into women who are likely carrying the next superbug, eats crap like Big Macs every day, always looks like his head is about to explode from rage because he thinks he is being treated unfairly, and apparently shits his pants frequently.

How in the hell is this asshat still alive?

Deal with the devil?

Monty Burns type situation where all the really bad shit is kind of clogging things up so no particular consequence can be visited upon him, or something else?

If you ever needed proof that there is no god, Trump continuing to breathe rather than being smote is proof.

Connie Francis is currently in ICU.

I can’t believe how bad it was. It’s easily the worst film in the franchise.

First off, the script is AWFUL. The acting is even worse. This film has TERRIBLE acting from everyone, even Mahershala Ali who is typically fantastic and Jonathan Bailey who is usually charming. He feels lost and bland in this. ScarJo is the most wooden she’s ever been. The story is silly and the whole film feels pointless in the end. It’s so bad.

SPOILERS! Do not read on if you do not wanna know.

Ed Skrein looks gorgeous in this but is wasted. He is the first kill and it’s done so stupidly you don’t even care. The film lacks excitement and energy. It all feels slow and B-movie despite it being a Jurassic World movie.

Jurassic World may have been a stupid movie but at least it was fun, with energy and high stakes. This one lacks all of that. The characters never even feel like they’re truly in danger outside of the random Mexican family in the movie.

Rupert Friend as the sorta-villain is hilariously bad. He gives a cartoon performance. The little girl got annoying after a while and the girl who played the teenage daughters acting was sooo bad. I couldn’t believe it. Who did she fuck to land this role?

Shoutout the actor who plays the Latino dad. He was lowkey kinda hot in a thick beefy way.

Terrible movie.

What does the DL think.

I found it pretty riveting. The performances are mostly all great (John Shea I found a bit affected.)

The music by Vangelis is excellent. (The scene where Spacek is trapped outside after curfew especially.)

The scene with the white horse running in the street was so beautiful.

Not sure I got the politics of it all though. I'll have to read up on it (or explain it to me!)

It seems like we are such a superficial group who solely judge on looks and quick to find fault . There seems to be more agism among gay culture. You’re considered over the hill by late 20’s practically. It’s very sad .

The chickens are coming home to roost!

What's the DL consensus? Is he gay?

The lyrics go like this:

"Rock and roll every night

Underneath the neon signs

On Sunset, on Sunset"

"Lights!" Why didn't she sing "lights?" An easy rhyme! But "signs?" Come on!

A California 7-Eleven employee was left brain-dead after her manager sat on top of her during a “senseless” on-the-job attack — and died Wednesday after she was taken off life support.

Jessica McLaughlin, 24, was working at a Los Angeles 7-Eleven on June 24 when her unidentified female manager — who remains at large — “violently and senselessly attacked” her after the pair got into an argument shortly after 2 p.m., the Los Angeles Times reported.

During the attack, the deranged Big Gulp slinger pulled McLaughlin’s hair and sat down on her employee’s upper body with her full weight, preventing her from breathing.

“She held her down, sat on top of her, and didn’t let her breathe,” the victim’s brother Sean McLaughlin wrote in a GoFundMe. Concerned co-workers tried to pry the madwoman off McLaughlin but became targets themselves, Fox11 reported.

While they attempted to revive McLaughlin, the manager supposedly ran into the 7-Eleven’s back office and tried to erase security footage, according to the GoFundMe.

McLaughlin collapsed while struggling and never regained consciousness.

She was taken to Hollywood Presbyterian Hospital in serious condition, and doctors declared her brain-dead due to a lack of oxygen, the LA Times reported.

Her family decided to take her off life support days after the attack, and she died Wednesday, according to Fox 11.

“Jessica had a way of making people feel safe, accepted, and loved. You could come to her with anything and know you wouldn’t be judged,” her brother wrote on GoFundMe.

“She had such a beautiful soul and deserved so much better than the way her life was taken from her.”

More?? You want MORE??!

Got to say, he's on point. "we don't need cosplay Senators"

At least 6 dead so far. Daily Fail reports a summer camp cabin got swept away. Looks bad.

WTF???

Funny how quickly things change. In just a few weeks, Gavin Newsom has emerged as a favorite to be the Democratic nominee in 2028. Trump made a major political error by elevating Newsom this month and revitalizing his career. His popularity is skyrocketing.

Dear lord, how did the camera people manage to keep a straight face during filming?

I swear, I could not have done it.

This is next-level bad.

No wonder she had to leave the country.

Queen Elizabeth reportedly feared that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s relationship wasn’t rooted in genuine love, according to a royal insider. A new claim alleges the late monarch questioned the sincerity of the former Suits star and privately voiced her concerns to a trusted confidante, who later shared those sentiments with a royal reporter.

The Daily Beast, Royalist, shared excerpts from a discussion Lady Elizabeth Anson, Queen Elizabeth's first cousin, had with longtime royal reporter Sally Bedell Smith.

According to Bedell Smith’s report, just days before Harry and Meghan’s wedding, Anson conveyed the queen’s concerns about the upcoming marriage. She used the word "we" and didn't directly name the monarch.

Kendrick Lamar diss. Super Bowl 2025

From an article about men's flipflops in the Wall Street Journal this morning: "A slightly dressier option that’s still pretty cheap? Iakovos Handmade Sandals. Arian Jabbary, 33, a stylish New York attorney, discovered the Greek brand while on the island of Rhodes."

Assuming "stylish" = "gay", I looked him up, as one does. He is fashion-focused in work and in his personal life. He seems to do some modeling.

He's handsome as fuck.

Based on the most disturbing/boring/charming film you've ever seen.

What are films that you were looking forward to and turned out to be an utter disappointment.

It is someone else’s order and I kept telling the delivery guy I didn’t order it but he kept saying to take it and show ID. I realized it’s probably someone else’s order but I don’t have their name or apartment. I told him I don’t drink this super cheap shit.

I will wait to see if someone finds out i have it and come knocking (it’s happened before) and if not will keep it I guess. This vodka is nasty though if my memory is right. I remember drinking it in college and finding it repulsive even then. I am all for trying different cheap vodkas but it can’t taste cheap. Tito’s is a good price and tastes great. Stoli and LVOV are good too. They couldn’t splurge a few more bucks for one of those?!

The veteran “60 Minutes” correspondent who interviewed Kamala Harris for the segment that triggered the just-settled lawsuit filed by President Trump against CBS News and its parent company reportedly grew emotional during a staff meeting held after the deal was announced.

Bill Whitaker, 73, appeared “teary-eyed” and “quite somber” during a tense Zoom meeting Wednesday morning as he addressed his “60 Minutes” colleagues in the wake of Paramount Global’s $16 million settlement with Trump, according to Oliver Darcy’s Status newsletter.

The Post reported on Wednesday that CBS insiders were not buying the spin from Paramount co-CEO George Cheeks, who insisted that the settlement with the president spared the company from “reputational damage.”

Wow! What a wonderful idea. Somehow she has floated above all the quacks and charlatans she has inflicted on the public over the years. Her favourite things days were truly sickening orgies of capitalism. Yeah the people in the audience got her stuff, but what about all the lower and lower middle class people watching the show. She walks around expecting to be treated like an empress. Why do we buy into that? Her interview with Meghan and Harry did great damage to the monarchy and especially the commonwealth, and Oprah never once fact checked the obvious likes Meghan told about how titles are awarded, etc. Even once the show was broadcast, Oprah never offered corrections or apologized for that disaster.

Oprah won’t be cancelled for sex crimes, but could she be be cancelled for greed?

I love the aesthetic of Sweet Smell of Success and this long gone era of New York during that period. I guess Mad Men touched on it but reminded me more of a studio effort like The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit and The Best of Everything. I think Shadows captured the same mood and atmosphere as Sweet Smell of Success and one can imagine Steve Dallas and Susan Hunsecker hanging in the same circles as the characters in Shadows. I think The Greenwich Village Story from the 60s also managed to capture a similar mood.

Have there been any others? I love the smoky nightspots, the fashions- the long coats on the handsome well dressed men, Broadway after dark. In recent times I think Bright Lights, Big City also captured some of the mood I like too.

Fearing Dump as Colonel Kurtz. Let’s hope Dump meets the same ending as the movie. Previous thread below.

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.

Guadagnino is in talks to direct Artificial, a recounting of the tumultuous period at artificial intelligence company OpenAI in 2023 that saw CEO Sam Altman fired and rehired in a matter of days.

Will Carrie and Aidan survive? Will Harry die? Will Miranda ever acknowledge Steve again?

I just heard a song about him. I get that he was a DJ with a gravely voice, but what else? Why was such a person a sensation back in the day?

Lia Thomas stripped of all school titles.

New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani talks about his campaign promises, criticisms over his tax plan and charges of antisemitism, during an exclusive interview with Meet the Press.

Should it be a universal morality? Or is it just faulty logic?

He's following what Cory Booker did recently, except this is more significant. Trump was adamant that the Big Beautiful Bill get passed before the 4th of July. Turns out there's a House Rules provision that the Speaker and the Minority Leader have the right to speak for unlimited time. Jeffries is using that little rule to try to run out the clock.

No idea how much longer Jeffries can and will continue. Speaker Mike Johnson obviously wants that vote to happen today. And Trump will go apoplectic if it doesn't, but then Trump goes apoplectic every day.

Chris Nolan was set to direct a Howard Hughes biopic starring Jim Carrey, but Marty Scorsese beat him to it with 'The Aviator' with Leo DiCaprio. DiCaprio was fine, but I think Carrey would have delivered a remarkable performance.

Starting the new thread.

I don't think anyone's mentioned this. Audible released a podcast a couple weeks ago about the case.

EXCLUSIVE: Amazon’s Audible is launching a podcast documentary series about the unsolved murder of Washington D.C. attorney Robert Wone.

AYR Media, founded by veteran producer and development executive Aliza Rosen, is producing eight-part series The Murder of Robert Wone as part of its overall deal with the audio service.

The series, which launches on September 23, is narrated by writer and true crime junkie H. Alan Scott and executive produced by Rosen.

On August 2, 2006, when EMTs and police arrive at a townhouse in D.C.’s affluent Dupont Circle neighborhood, they walk into an eerie scene. Three men in white bathrobes – prominent D.C. attorney and LGBTQ activist Joseph Price; his partner, marketing executive Victor Zaborsky; and a third man involved in their relationship, Dylan Ward – sit calmly together, all appearing to be freshly showered. Their visitor for the evening, a close friend named Robert Wone – who is straight, newly married and not part of the aforementioned relationship – lies stabbed to death in their guest bedroom. A knife, allegedly used to kill Wone, is on the nightstand. The bedsheets beneath him are bizarrely clean.

All three robe-clad residents claim an intruder broke into their townhouse, took one of their kitchen knives, went upstairs, stabbed Wone to death, and then ran off without stealing any valuables from Wone or their home. The investigation that follows sparks questions of sexual assault and uncovers evidence of BDSM.

In 2006, at a time when gay marriage is illegal and polyamory is taboo, the intimate details of Price, Zaborsky and Ward’s relationship dominate headlines for weeks, as law enforcement, the media and the general public perpetuate a social stigma that may have skewed the investigation and prevented justice from being served.

“This is the type of case that the term ‘stranger than fiction’ was created for,” said Rosen. “The setting and characters couldn’t be more striking, and at every turn the story gets weirder, and the stakes get higher, while the investigation becomes more opaque. It’s a cold case that deserves more attention, and Robert Wone’s family deserves answers. We look forward to bringing it to Audible.”

I've been asked to make an appearance. Apparently Bay City craves my utter fabulousness!

And any time someone wants to talk about Cass Winthrop in a Speedo, I'm there.

Just.....hide me if Cecile shows up.

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

(or any random worker on the red carpet)

You know what I mean, the red carpet is always full of assistants, managers, and publicists standing around. If the photographers accidently take their picture, they say things like "oh, I didn't mean to take your picture, I thought you were an actress" or someone asks "who is that?" and another replies, "Nobody, just a bodyguard or something..........omg, it's Minka Kelly/Nicole Kidman over there, please pose, oh you're gorgeous"

A lot of people in LA in these types of jobs probably had creative dreams too and that's what brought them out to Hollywood but they never got anywhere and probably feel bitter and embarrassed. I imagine it must make them feel very small and unimportant being surrounded by important, popular celebs everyone wants to see.

Summer Edition

Come inside...

Wow. Was not expecting this.

Is a reactionary piece of shit.

So many of the myths of the genteel antebellum South come from Margaret Mitchell’s imagination than reality. The driver of that car did us a favor before she could publish more revisionist swill.

She was great on FRIENDS. I assume they killed her off because she was better than the main cast.

I’m every attendant dressed as Little Edie from Grey Gardens twirling the baton dressed in red, white, blue regalia.

Jax and the other guys are intoxicatingly douchy except for Jason who is adorable. The women led by Jax's wife Brittney are all vapid dopes. What's not to love?

“Real Housewives” star Brandi Glanville has blamed a “parasite that jumps around my face” that might be responsible for the dramatic change in her appearance. Glanville shared a selfie on social media and wrote, “Some Dr.’s say I have a parasite that jumps around my face.”

Glanville wrote in full on X, “What happened? I wish I knew I’ve been in &out of the hospital this passed year 1/2 spent almost every dollar I have trying to figure it out. Some Dr.’s say I have a parasite that jumps around my face. Some say it’s stress induced edema. I personally say it’s Bravo.”

Fans were shocked and concerned after Glanville posted a selfie in which her face appeared to be swollen. In October 2023 Glanville revealed she had been diagnosed with stress-induced angioedema. Entertainment Tonight reported one of her sons called 911 after she collapsed at home.

The outlet also said Glanville’s “face blew up like a basketball, so much so that her eyes were swollen shut, reducing her vision to the point she couldn’t even see her own hand.”

A source told the outlet, “Brandi’s been under so much stress since ‘The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip’ drama started with Caroline Manzo. She hasn’t been able to work since the false claims were brought against her, and now it’s taking a toll on her physically. She is back home and resting after spending the night in the hospital.”

Glanville herself wrote on X, formerly Twitter, at the time, “I collapsed at home this am and my SON had to call 911 for help! You guys have no idea the amount of stress I’m dealing with.”

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:

David Archuleta gets up close and personal about his #queer journey in this special episode of Storytellers: Pride Edition.

The former #AmericanIdol finalist shares his unique perspective on discovering his #LGBT identity and how it differs from understanding his #Latino roots.

Seriously, what's my deal? This woman is nothing special musically, her movies are boring and most of her success was as a teenager 30-40 years ago. Sure, she still sings and acts, but nobody outside France would even know her name if not for that sleaze Johnny Depp. She certainly wouldn't be worth 150 million euro without him giving it to her because her career was dying anyway by the time she met him.

It's really bizarre because I think it's just jealously? Because she got to live the life I would have liked. I think that's it. There's nothing special about her, but she was always surrounded by the right people, a supportive family, nepotism. Born to be a success, to matter, to be involved with the arts (her uncle was a film/record producer who helped her in the beginning and got her a record deal at 14) However, I do find her charismatic and pretty, but maybe this is just because of my fixation/her status/legacy. There's plenty of other female celebrities who are prettier and more successful and I feel nothing for them. I actually think Vanessa looks like a junkie, but cleans up well. She'd be nothing without all the money. I actually see lots of junkies around my city who look quiet a but like her, and I always notice, and no it's not just the teeth, it's the overall look.

It's hard to explain. But I kind of feel like Vanessa Paradis is the only woman on earth who actually existed, if that makes sense. Like, I know other women exist too, but she's the only one who matters, who left a mark on the world even though I know this isn't true. Whenever I see pictures of her, more so when she was younger, it gives me a weird pang of nostalgia, like "look at Vanessa getting coffee in 1997, did the world FEEL this happening" Like, I was only a child back then so didn't pay attention to her, but looking at pictures it's hard to believe somebody that cool and effortless was walking the streets, making an impression, doing something with their lives, mattering.

Another one.

Was it really so bad?

Yup, Ben's mid life crisis not only continues, but gets worse.

Farmers markets.

Bertha wants to sell off Gladys in marriage to the Duke of Buckingham, but last season George Russell promised his daughter she could marry for love. So will Gladys have to marry the Duke?

Across the street, Ada now has all the money has the Van Rhijn household instead of Agnes. So who calls the shots in the household?

Will Marian finally get laid (this time by Larry)?

Will Mrs. Astor ever get even a momentary win in her ongoing war against Bertha? (Answer: Of course not.)

Will the Russell servants never stop adoring their masters 24/7? (Answer: Of course not.)

Fully straight ex- gay pronstar EFinn known for his miserable fucki..PERFORMANCE and torn hairy asshole is also known for Q&A where he spill some tea. One of his more viewed ones was about sexuality of guys working in gay pron. Q: Have you ever work with a straight guy on set? A: Yes, but like I was saying there are very few straight guys in industry; most are bi or gay themselves [insert retarted face].

While for 99.9% of society its obvious that most guys who take dick in their ass with a hardon and cum like gayzer(lol) are not straight we have some [older] guys who will desperately cling to allerged "fact" those guys are 100% HETEROSEXUAL. Just little reality check.

So let's again discuss this already 1 milion times discussed topic cause its funny.... like people discuss about God and afterlife since forever and nobody seems to be bored by this shit.

Despite a round of new Netflix cancellations it looks like Sandman get another season! None of the threads are coming up or I would have posted this great news there.

Here's an early piece I wrote about the women who wrote the sensational bestsellers of their respective decades, Grace Metalious & Jacqueline Susann, with "Peyton Place" & "Valley of the Dolls." One of several things these women had in common is that 20th Century Fox made movies of their books, with the same director!

A Nantucket homeowner is suing their neighbor, seeking over $1.4 million in damages, and accusing them of trespassing into their yard earlier this year and cutting down a stand of 50-year-old trees in order to create an ocean view for themselves from the abutting property. The alleged perpetrator subsequently listed their property for sale for nearly $10 million while touting its “sweeping ocean views.”

“The Defendant's actions were calculated to enhance the ocean view from his own residence at 3 Tautemo Way and were carried out with full knowledge that he lacked any legal right to do so," the lawsuit says. "The trees at issue were planted by the Belford family in the 1970s and maintained for nearly five decades. Their removal was not only a violation of the Plaintiff's property rights, but also caused lasting damage to the character, value, and privacy of the property.”

According to the lawsuit, Jonathan Jacoby was identified as the neighbor alleged to have conducted the tree cutting and lives at 3 Tautemo Way. The alleged victim, Patricia Belford, owns the abutting property at 1 Tautemo Way. Belford said the line of mature trees and vegetation had served for decades as a natural buffer and privacy screen between their home and neighboring parcels. The trees cut down included cedar, cherry, and leyland cypress, many of which were over 30 feet in height and decades old.

“These trees formed a natural barrier between the Belford home and Hummock Pond Road and provided shade, aesthetic value, privacy, and noise mitigation,” the lawsuit says.

Around February 22, Belford said Jacoby walked across their driveway to the south/southwest portion of the property and cut down over 16 mature trees without any notice or permission from her.

“The extent and location of the cutting, many feet away from the parties' shared property line, demonstrates this was no mistake,” the lawsuit says. “Jacoby performed this conduct intentionally and with the specific purpose of improving the ocean view from his own property located at 3 Tautemo Way.”

Jacoby's former landscaper, Krasimir Kirilov, provided a voluntary statement to the police where he told them Jacoby admitted to cutting down trees on the Belford property, and that Jacoby asked Kirilov to assist him with cleanup work. Kirilov said as he was about to finish the cleanup when the Belford's property manager Matt Erisman arrived at the property and was unaware of the cleanup work being done. Kirilov said when he explained to Erisman what was going on, Erisman told him he had no idea about what was going on. It led to Kirilov calling Jacoby, putting him on the phone with Erisman, and Erisman telling Kirilov he could leave after concluding his phone call with Jacoby.

Jacoby has since listed his 3 Tautemo Way property on the market with J Pepper Frazier, and the property description describes the home as being “developed and situated to capture the sweeping views of the Atlantic Ocean, Hummock Pond, and the 780 acres of conservation land between Hummock Pond and Madaket.” Belford said the views of the ocean are a result of the tree cutting, and not mentioned in the previous listing.

This father and son who founded "First Liberty Building & Loan" were lauded by right-wing talk show hosts (on whose shows they advertised) and guests on wacko right-wing news channels, emphasizing their Christian credentials. Elderly MAGAts across Georgia sent them hundreds of thousands of dollars to, ahem, invest. Then:

"They told me they were Sunday school teachers and churchgoers!" wailed one MAGAt.

The company's collapse comes after the son and his wife posted pictures of themselves touring Europe.

Hope the food bank has some dog food for you, MAGAts!

The Israeli government said Thursday that Donald Trump’s plan to relocate nearly two million Palestinians from Gaza is “still active,” despite widespread opposition from U.S. allies and warnings from rights groups that it would constitute a war crime.

“President Trump has made clear that plan is most definitely still active,” Israeli government spokesperson David Mencer said in response to a question from The Independent about the plan’s status.

“We think it's a good idea. The Prime Minister has praised the idea. It's certainly out-of-the-box thinking,” he added.

It looks like it’s thinning

Donald Trump said on social media that Israel and Iran have agreed to a “complete and total ceasefire” to be phased in over 24 hours.

Trump said on Truth Social that the ceasefire would bring an “Official END” to war, a major change in the hostilities that follows a U.S. strike over the weekend on three Iranian nuclear sites.

“On the assumption that everything works as it should, which it will, I would like to congratulate both Countries, Israel and Iran, on having the Stamina, Courage, and Intelligence to end, what should be called, “THE 12 DAY WAR,” Trump posted.

An independent Baptist church in Indianapolis has defended a sermon in which church members called for the deaths of people in the LGBTQ+ community.

On July 3, preacher Justin Zhong said in a post on the Sure Foundation Baptist Church's Facebook page that the church would not apologize for the sermon.

"The Bible is crystal clear that sodomites (homosexuals) deserve the death penalty carried out by a government that actually cares about the law of God," Zhong wrote.

In an emailed statement to Newsweek, the Sure Foundation Baptist Church said: "The Bible puts the death penalty on the LGBTQ people. We as Christians must believe and preach what the Bible says. The reason people are so shocked about all this is not many 'Christians' and even 'pastors' actually believe the Bible. To be clear, we only called for the government to execute those people. We are against vigilantes."

Hedy Lamarr made her cinematic swansong in Universal's camp fest, 1958's "The Female Animal." Hedy's a washed up film star with a spoiled daughter who likes booze AND the boys!

Are you on a cholesterol med? What has your experience been?

Five months after the intoduction of legislation to arrange for President Donald Trump's face to be added onto Mount Rushmore, the National Park Service weighed in to explain how it cannot be done.

Oh, just about her biological father.

Just 58 percent of adults in the United States are “extremely” or “very” proud to be American, according to a Gallup poll released this week — the lowest level recorded by the company in the more than two decades since it started including the question in surveys. The dramatic decline was largely driven by Democrats, while most Republicans had strong feelings of national pride, according to the poll published Monday — an indicator of the deepening partisan divide in the U.S. Younger Americans, particularly Gen Z, are also less likely to be proud of their country compared with previous generations.

WaPo so can’t link

I like her and I am one of the few who would side with her over that fat fraud Caroline Manzo-

But holy shit- Her face!

Wow...

Long story short, I have a neighbor in my building who is sadly, partially nuts. And nasty. Roughly 65-70 She mutters to herself outside- full blown conversations. This has been 4 years. When I signed my lease 1 year ago for another apt in the building I decided to ask my management company about her- they told me that she is not crazy or schizo (which I suspected) but they are correct. She is just off.. (Anyone with schizophrenia could not live alone like this- her family has apparently ditched her and pay her rent/living expenses. The woman drives and is a hardcore Jesus Freak- likes to walk around with her bible and prays in front of people's homes.. I was told she goes to church every Sunday. (Which I fault no one for- it's a shame that it does not appear to help her get peace of mind) If you stay hi to her she rolls her eyes.. (At very least she is on the spectrum)

2 months ago I found her peering in my bedroom window-nose against the window-- It was cold out and windows were closed but as she walked away I yelled GET HELP!- This is an old house, and she heard me- turned around and leered. I was in there in my boxers cleaning. I decided not to say anything to the Management Company.

I have caught her recently doing this to a new tenant (Also on first floor)

On Wednesday, I come out of the bathroom into my bedroom- windows are all open- it was beautiful out- and there she is- peering into my window- Hands up against her temples trying to get a better look- nose against the screen. It made me jump, and I screamed "BEAT IT YOU FREAK!" she walks away quickly and fucking CACKLES..

I try not to fuck with other people's lives- but I was DONE. I let management company know and they told me I should really file a police report! I told them that I could never do that to this woman. Am I crazy? The lady scared me this time, but I'm not calling the police.

They said that they would send her a letter, and I asked them not to. If it happens again, yes. But to leave her alone.

I work from home so I see a lot more of her behavior than others (My place has large windows all around as well)

"Congratulations to my sons Ross Naess and Evan Ross on the launch of Arne’s Reserve, their new caviar brand. So proud"

On May 31 of this year, in a series of phone calls beginning at nine in the morning and ending that afternoon, the newly installed Special Agent in Charge of the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Norfolk Field Office, Dominique Evans, made clear to me that, at the direction of Dan Bongino, my career with the organization had—for all intents and purposes—come to an end.

It would be an understatement to say that I had not expected this. In fact, I was in the midst of preparing for a potential move to Washington, D.C. to take on a new position at FBI headquarters.

But, it turned out, I had made a terrible mistake: I had remained friends with someone who had appeared on Kash Patel’s enemies list. How did Bongino find out about this private friendship? I honestly don’t know. What business was it of his? None at all. Was I accused of any sort of misconduct? No. It didn’t matter.

Ridiculous.

Nearly half (48%) of Americans haven’t heard anything about the ‘Big, Beautiful Bill.’ Even among the 52% who report hearing anything, a significant number – 40% – only mention generalities or its status in Congress. Nearly two dozen policy impacts of the bill are raised by the rest of the survey respondents. These range from perceived positive economic benefits, like tax cuts, to negative impacts on government programs like SNAP and Social Security. More respondents have heard specifically about cuts to Medicaid, Medicare and health care generally than any other aspect of the legislation. And yet, only 8% of all Americans name Medicaid cuts as a detail of the bill they have heard about.

Was he really fucking sistahs left and right? And is the Gugu Macbeth Raw character based on a real person. Also Jennifer Aniston is absolutely flawless looking. She is aging like fine win. Karen Pittman will be an A list star one day. Calling it now.

Funny, Steve Carell’s claim to fame was playing a 40 yr old virgin singing Kelly Clarkson. And now he is playing a pussy hound womanizer and Kelly Clarkson appeared on one of the first few episodes. I love Hollywood; I need to make it before I’m 40.

The Fourth is second only to Thanksgiving in setting the stage for family arguments. For many years, my family has leaned heavily on the humor of the musical comedy "1776" as a way to navigate political differences. It's increasingly difficult to remain friendly with political adversaries, especially the friends and family we've tried to hold on to in America's march toward fascism/autocracy. What shows or films exist to divert our cultural attention with comedy?

Just to piss off everyone who hate that we keep talking about this.

Furious Macaulay Culkin has plunged into an ugly verbal attack on his baby mama Brenda Song by her ex-boyfriend Trace Cyrus — and sources say the Home Alone kid is set to unleash a furious legal war and humiliate Billy Ray’s son by forcing him to eat his words.

The 36-year-old rocker went nuclear on the 37-year-old former Disney starlet in an unhinged social media rant June 11 — accusing his former galpal of faking a cancer diagnosis, an abortion, multiple pregnancies, and also stealing thousands of dollars during their seven-year relationship.

Brenda has not hit back yet, but the attack triggered Macaulay — dad of her sons, Dakota, 4, and Carson, 2 — to roar to her rescue.

I'm so excited to see what you all have been raving about.

My expectations are high, so I hope it doesn't disappoint.

We just don't talk about it enough.

Shocking police bodycam footage captured the moment a married teacher realized she was being arrested for the alleged rape of one of her 15-year-old students.

She had learned that she was being charged with aggravated criminal sexual abuse and criminal sexual assault against a minor, and sat back in the vehicle with her head in her hands.

It only felt truly real when Liam and Noel Gallagher strode out on stage together in Cardiff hand-in-hand, raising them aloft as one to a crowd that had waited 16 years for this moment. “It’s good to be back,” Liam sang a few minutes later, opening a gig many thought would never happen with “Hello.”

Come out of Cardiff Central train station on this muggy summer night though, and it felt like no other reason could exist above reuniting for the millions upon millions of fans who who built their lives on this band. “Was it worth the £40,000 you paid for the ticket?” Liam said, grinning, halfway through the show, not even waiting around for the affirmative reply.

Born on the 4th of July, 1924.

I’ve been following this US-based Austrian diver Alex Hart on Instagram for a while. At 5’10” with a thickset gymnast’s build (I think he trained as a gymnast), he definitely stands out

Megan McTavish has an autobiography expected to arrive soon. While reminiscing on time spent in four different soap towns, Pine Valley, albeit on three separate instances, apparently was by far the worst experience of them all.

Well then Donald—you don’t deserve to be in the White House. A president doesn’t get to pick and choose who they serve based on personal grudges.

“I hate them too”? That’s not leadership — that’s a tantrum in a suit. If you can’t stand half the country, you have no business trying to lead it.

Article is from 2024 - The book Unhumans, by Jack Posobiec and Joshua Lisec, is a fascist manifesto. It argues that the “Great Men of History” should take their cues from homicidal dictators like Augusto Pinochet and Francisco Franco, reject reason and democracy, and ruthlessly annihilate the gangs of communist “unhumans” who are currently threatening to destroy the United States. It explicitly advocates “eye for an eye” justice, promising a new McCarthyism complete with blacklists, along with the immediate banning of all teachers’ unions. It is perhaps the most paranoid, hateful, and terrifying book I have ever picked up. (I say this as someone who has read Mein Kampf.) And it comes with a warm and supportive blurb from Ohio senator J.D. Vance, who is currently the Republican party’s vice presidential nominee. Vance had this to say of Unhumans:

"In the past, communists marched in the streets waving red flags. Today, they march through HR [Human Resources], college campuses, and courtrooms to wage lawfare against good, honest people. In Unhumans, Jack Posobiec and Joshua Lisec reveal their plans and show us what to do to fight back."

Unhumans is both a manifesto and a guide for action. Its central argument, which I will state as dispassionately as possible, is that leftists are not fellow human beings who should be accepted as part of a pluralistic society, but rather “unhumans” bent on destroying the civilized order. Citing the usual parade of 20th century communist dictators (Mao, Lenin, Stalin, Pol Pot), Posobiec and Lisec argue that even if it may not look like the contemporary United States is under threat from a communist revolution, we are under threat, besieged by furtive, scheming unhumans who must be rooted out before they can consummate their fiendish plot to commit mass murder. Stopping the unhumans will require shedding commitments to democracy, free speech, reasoned debate, and tolerance of alternate points of view. Instead, they argue, the right should find its role models in Caesar, Joseph McCarthy, and various murderous anti-communist dictators of the 20th century.

Like I say, I’ve tried to put this fairly dispassionately. But it’s incredibly disturbing, and argued very seriously in the book, which repeatedly praises Spanish dictator Francisco Franco—who, let us remember, was responsible for “mass killings, torture and the systematic, general and illegal detentions of political opponents.” Franco’s White Terror killed hundreds of thousands of people, based on Franco’s notion of “social cleansing,” and “turned the country into an immense prison.” How do Posobiec and Lisec rationalize their praise of dictators? Essentially, they argue that to stop communism, ugly means are required. They advocate what they call “the Iron Law of Exact Reciprocity,” which means, essentially, do unto others what they have done unto you, no matter how horrible...

For Fourth of July, we are celebrating with TexMex. We ordered on DoorDash. The DoorDash menu says that chips come with every entree order (we ordered two entrées). So I ordered an extra side of guacamole and chips and then an extra additional side of chips and salsa.

I got one little crummy bag of chips. I should’ve gotten three.

Also, they forgot to bring my rice and beans. That was a separate side order.

The obvious lesson: always order from the local non-chain Tex-Mex places. But they are all closed for the holiday.

And yes, it is a lot of food and I am a fat whore. But I told myself that when I got below 180 pounds on Ozempic (from 215, I made it to 178 as of last week), then I could order everything I wanted from a restaurant one time. I guess I still did order it. They just didn’t deliver it.

They are DEAD to me.

Here's an appreciation I once wrote of Eva Marie Saint, for her performance as the mysterious Hitchcock blonde Eve Kendall, in "North by Northwest." Eva and Hitch had a happy collaboration in a role that was a departure for Saint, as well as elegantly co-starring with Cary Grant. Eva Marie Saint turns 101 today. Cheers to this class act and here's my look at Saint in "NBNW":

I'm staying in and lounging. Might watch Sinners later. Not feeling particularly patriotic this year and no one I know is doing anything.

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.

Trump can’t end the Ukraine war, and he knows it.

Today’s phone call between Russian President Vladimir Putin and President Donald Trump was a painful reminder that Trump is the junior partner in the Russian-American relationship and that Putin will continue his mass-murder campaign in Ukraine for as long as he can get away with it. Nothing else of substance emerged from the call. When it comes to Europe’s largest armed conflict since World War II, Putin’s still in charge.

Putin, exuding confidence, got out ahead of Trump just minutes after the call and talked in person to the media, which allowed him the first move in framing the discussion.

The fabulous Debbie Harry was born on July 1,1945: I’m sure many DLers will want to join me in wishing her a happy 80th birthday! I’ve so enjoyed listening to her music and watching her in concert for over 40 years.

[quote] Liverpool and Portugal star Diogo Jota has died in a car crash in Spain with his younger brother, prompting an outpouring of grief from fans, former teammates and the wider soccer community. He was 28.

I’ve always loved this movie as it’s a decent flick where Barbra isn’t trying to play herself too much and it’s not a musical.

Streisand plays, Margaret, a bored housewife who has fantasies to escape her mundane life and anxiety from her third pregnancy. She fantasizes telling Fidel Castro off and then discovering Fidel is a woman trying to woo her, daydreams about telling her overbearing mother off to much comedic effect, being involved in a terrorist cell that tries to blow up the Statue of Liberty, and exploring an African tribe on how to have a natural and pain-free childbirth.

All of this happens with gritty 1972 New York City as a backdrop.

Paul Benedict, Isabel Sanford, Conrad Bain, Paul Dooley, and Anne Ramsey make appearances.

This film really needs a Blu-Ray release.

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

25 years later It's almost painful to watch. I don't know who's more uncomfortable, Barbara for having to ask "the sexuality question" or Ricky for having to answer it. "Thank you for allowing me to express the rumors"

Tippi Hedren, 93

Tom Homan has to sleep away from his family because of the de*th threats against him. This is sad. Pray for Tom and his family 🙏🏼

Haven't they been trying to get this project off the ground for years? I read a long time ago that Jake Gyllenhaal was involved.

The composer - born Martin Fulterman - best known for his work on The X-Files, died earlier today. He was 78. No wife/girlfriend or children. Was he gay, fellow DLers?

He composed the score for Kids Like These, one of my favourite 1980s TV movies.

I like to think he planned a July 4th death as a final "Fuck You!" to the Trump & Co administration.

RIP sir.

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.”

Has he been discussed here before? I think he gives DL legend Anthony Recker a run for his money.

Now, after about 15 minutes of popping, sizzling, and other fireworks noises, I'm hearing multiple sirens in the background, as well.

If you burn down your own house, I don't care. But, when I was a kid, a neighbor's house burned down because some other idiot was lighting fireworks. The blaze was so bad that other neighbors were hosing down their own roofs for fear of burning material from the house igniting other homes.

Brian was cast in PICNIC only because he fucked the director last season. Let's see who gets the male lead in ANGEL STREET when the same director does it in August!

…that I remember.

1981: I think this may have been the only time I smiled after age 12. I had acne, and was ostracized and berated as a fag. I sat in the back of the class and had no friends. Thoughts of suicide or running away were safety valves. Due to my low self-esteem I didn't go to college or lose my virginity until my early 20s.

What kept my spirits up while I worked fast food jobs after h.s. was the gender-bending British invasion of the early 80s: The Eurythmics, Culture Club, Adam Ant...

After watching clips from the movie 'Still Alice' about a woman diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's disease, I verified that the disease is genetically passed down. A child born to a parent with EOAD has a 50% chance of inheriting the genes that cause it, and if they do, it's almost 100% certain the child will develop EOAD. EOAD is a rare form of the disease, with symptoms beginning before age 65 and as early as age 30.

In the movie, Alice has three adult children. Two are tested: one positive and one negative. The third child chose not to get tested. She didn't want to know (at least at that point in her life). (Side note: one of the writers and directors of the movie, Richard Glatzer, was diagnosed with ALS before beginning the project of adapting the book to screenplay. He died three weeks after Julianne Moore won an Oscar for her performance as Alice.)

Would you function better knowing what was ahead of you (whether death by illness or injury) and how much time you had left, or would knowing destroy your peace of mind and keep you from enjoying life? If you did learn of your fate years in advance, would you tell anyone?

Part of me would want to know so I could plan ahead and make informed choices (and wear Depends on *the day* to make cleanup easier). However, it's possible the knowledge could put me into a tailspin of fear, causing me to shut down, unless I learned I would die at a healthy old age while sleeping. And then there's the issue that comes with seeing into the future: will you screw up the good stuff in your life while making choices in reaction to knowing your fate?

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.

I find it interesting how women deal with bisexual men or men that have been with trans women. They will literally write dissertations about how they will not have any form of relations with these men. They’re even blunt about not wanting to be with trans men. The fun thing is that bisexual men will throw gay men under the bus to have a chance with straight. They’ll mention that vaginal sex is better anal with another men.

This situation paints a situation where homosexuality or gay men are second to heterosexuality. Like gay men are the rejects that have to take in bisexuals and other queer folks since heterosexual people don’t want to associate with them. Why can’t gay men have the same power or privilege to exclude people? Straight women and men get away with it. Why can’t we?

Matthew Perry's was incredibly sad and sorrowful. He had all the money in the world, but was empty and lonely deep within.

Interesting if uneven film about a spoiled headstrong young woman and the men who loved her. Merle is more beautiful than adequate but gives it her best shot. Joseph is her best friend who also loves her. She’s holding out for the sexy Alan Marshall. Marshall never really broke through the ranks of the second lead. I remember reading about a nervous breakdown or something. This was to be an important film for Duvivier and Oberon but it wasn’t really successful. But Marshall was a fox. Duvivier went on to make Tales of Manhattan and Flesh and Fantasy, but returned to France after the war, unhappy with Hollywood.

Charlize Theron is not often one to kiss and tell, but she recently enjoyed some time with a younger man.

When Theron, 49, appeared on the Wednesday, July 2 episode of Alex Cooper's Call Her Daddy podcast to promote her new movie The Old Guard 2, the Academy Award-winning actress revealed that she recently hooked up with a 26-year-old man.

"I almost choked. I am the last person to ask," Theron said, when Cooper, 30, asked her for her best sex tip, after a prolonged conversation about her approach to dating these days.

"I'm sounding very cocky here, but I think it's because I found this freedom in my forties where I'm like, 'Oh my god,' so I just want to say this in perspective. I've probably had three one night stands in my entire life, but I did just recently f----- a 26-year-old and it was really f------ amazing and I've never done that and I was like, 'Oh, this is great okay.'"

Wow

New thread for a new year.

‘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.

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 burgers were pre-cooked the day before

Guests at the White House's July 4th celebration are being served burgers that were grilled the morning before and stored on trays outdoors according to social media posts. On July 3rd, CNBC Washington correspondent Eamon Javers reported from the White House that chefs were “grilling up a whole bunch of burgers” at 9 a.m., noting that “it smells great.”

UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese has issued a report naming several US giants among companies aiding Israel's occupation and war on Gaza. Companies from other countries – from China to Mexico – are also named.

The United Nations special rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the occupied Palestinian territory (oPt) has released a new report mapping the corporations aiding Israel in the displacement of Palestinians and its genocidal war on Gaza, in breach of international law.

Francesca Albanese's latest report, which is scheduled to be presented at a news conference in Geneva on Thursday, names 48 corporate actors, including United States tech giants Microsoft, Alphabet Inc. – Google's parent company – and Amazon. A database of more than 1000 corporate entities was also put together as part of the investigation.

"[Israel's] forever-occupation has become the ideal testing ground for arms manufacturers and Big Tech – providing significant supply and demand, little oversight, and zero accountability – while investors and private and public institutions profit freely," the report said.

"Companies are no longer merely implicated in occupation – they may be embedded in an economy of genocide," it said, in a reference to Israel's ongoing assault on the Gaza Strip. In an expert opinion last year, Albanese said there were "reasonable grounds" to believe Israel was committing genocide in the besieged Palestinian enclave.

The report stated that its findings illustrate "why Israel's genocide continues".

"Because it is lucrative for many," it said.

The ginger cub across the street comes home at lunch sometimes on bikes with a young black guy and they rush inside for a half hour or so. When they emerge I can tell they were having sex due to the relaxed, easy smiles.

The guy nextdoor has a blonde guy over when his girlfriend is out of town. They shoot the breeze for a while on the back porch smoking, then go inside. I'm not that invested, but recently I caught the blond guy passing by a window totally naked, covering dick with his hand ..

What have been your experiences with downlow co-workers or neighbors?

Though Pope Leo XIV is on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, the pontiff’s supporters will get to hear from him at a Mass and celebration of his election next month at Rate Field.

Pope Leo will offer a “special video message to the young people of the world,” at the event, which is scheduled for June 14 at 333 W. 35th St., home of the White Sox, the Archdiocese of Chicago announced.

The “once-in-a-lifetime celebration” will include music, film, in-person testimonials and prayer, the archdiocese said. A Catholic Mass will be celebrated after the program.

I'm traveling for work and need a home base for the last two weeks of October. I don't plan on traveling in/out of the city I choose (I'll be all over Europe prior to this) so it needs to be somewhere that is interesting enough on it's own.

Please help me decide!

He-Man is supposed to be a huge gigantic guy like the guy in the middle of the photo. (Dolph was 6’5”). Nicholas should have only played Prince Adam and they should have used a huge guy to play He-Man. This just looks stupid.

I used to listen to this song on repeat 10+ years ago. I was in my 20s, and I love love love Jamie. He’s so talented, and beautiful, with such a unique voice, and great songwriting, and he plays instruments etc. he’s just so sexy to me. Is anyone else turned on by raw talent?

Anyway, I used to follow Jamie’s career and bought every song Graffiti6 released, but this was my favorite. I would play it over and over and never get sick of it. Well, with time you forget about things sometimes, and that song was one. If you could see my reactions minutes ago when the song came on my speaker!

I decided to play an old playlist I made over 10 years ago and see what songs I had on it, and when this song came on I almost transported back in time 10 years mentally! It was insane, and felt surreal! So many memories with this song. So then I went on YouTube and watched the video and those butterfly feelings came back! Omg he is so cute! Lmao. I’m such a MARY, I know. But I miss being in my 20s.

Time flies.

Love this song.

Life in prison. No parole.

Here in RI, our lawmakers are proposing 'The Taylor Swift Tax' (Official name: Non-Owner Occupied Property Tax Act.) for luxury second homes valued at over $1M, but the owner occupies for less than 183 days in one calendar year.

For every $500 over the $1M mark, there will be a $2.50 additional tax. In the past 12 years, Taylor Swift, Conan O'Brien, Jay Leno , and 'Judge' Judy Scheindlin have purchased homes way over the $1M mark (Swift bought her home in 2013 for $17M, and it is now assessed at $28M; Judge Judy bought her home five years ago for $9M). None of these celebrities spend more than six months here out of the year. (Comedian Matt Rife spent $3M on his RI home last summer, but says he plans to move here permanently once his extensive renovations are completed at the end of this year).

Proponents argue that wealthy, absentee owners contribute to driving up home prices and can leave properties vacant for much of the year. The tax revenue is intended to be used for expanding low-income tax credits and creating more affordable housing. As of June 2025, the tax proposal was part of a larger budget bill passed by the Rhode Island House and Senate, and is now awaiting the Governor's signature.

Maine is also considering a similar tax on secondary luxury homes.

25 years ago Danny Stewart was late for a date with Peter Mercurio. While Danny was running through the subway station he found a newborn on the floor. He notified the police. During one of the hearings, the judge asked Danny if he would like to adopt the boy. He did. Danny and Peter eventually got married. Kevin, the once foundling, is now a college graduate.

Too bad good ol’ Walt didn’t drive off a cliff:

TV and movie star Dick Van Dyke, 99, withdrew from a comedy show appearance on Saturday because he was feeling under the weather, according to his wife, Arlene Silver.

Van Dyke and Silver normally co-host the Vandy Camp, a fan event, along with his musical quartet, the Vantastix. The show merges the longtime entertainer’s love for comedy, vaudeville and the circus into a one-day celebration at the Arlene and Dick Van Dyke Theater at California’s Malibu High School.

Appearing alone at the venue, Silver told the crowd that Van Dyke wouldn’t be in attendance. “When you’re 99 and a half years old, you have good days and bad days ... and unfortunately today is not a good day for him and he’s sick that he can’t be here,” she said, according to People.com.

However, Van Dyke did make a livestream appearance during the event.

Van Dyke has been a fixture in the entertainment world for more than seven decades. The star of the 1968 film Chitty Chitty Bang Bang rose to fame in the early 1960s as Rob Petrie in the classic CBS sitcom The Dick Van Dyke Show. He has won five Emmys, a Tony for the 1960 Broadway musical Bye Bye Birdie, a Screen Actors Guild Life Achievement Award and a Grammy.

In celebration of his 99th birthday in December 2024, Van Dyke starred in a video for Coldplay’s “All My Love,” which the rock band dedicated to Van Dyke. In the video, he spoke about how he’s unfazed by mortality.

“I’m acutely aware that I’m, you know, could go any day now, but I don’t know why it doesn’t concern me,” he said. “I’m not afraid of it. I have that feeling, totally against anything intellectual, that I’m going to be all right.”

With a new production of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musical Evita starring Rachel Zegler as Eva Peron and a sweaty, shirtless, underwear-clad Diego Andres Rodriguez as Che hitting the West End, we thought now would be the perfect time to revisit one of the show’s biggest numbers: “Don’t Cry For Me Argentina.”

Believe it or not, the song has been around for almost half a century now, and has performed and recorded (and butchered) by a number of different artists–from Patti LuPone to Donna Summer to Madonna.

This is the most excited I have been about a television event in at least ten years, if not longer. There are a few decent documentaries about this period, but not many, and certainly not many when compared to the glut of television created around the Civil War. There aren't many solid movies either.

It's a fascinating time in the history of our country. Power was seized by a loud, but idealistic band of rebels, who then organized and pressed war against the greatest military power of its time in order to establish our great republic. (And yes, America is still great, even if we have lost our way for the moment thanks to our present leadership.) It is actually quite amazing that America emerged victorious in the end.

This is a story that is ripe to be told by someone with Ken Burns' vision and I can't wait to see what he has put together. I bet it will wind up being the definitive account.

When you visit Lisa Whelchel's Wikipedia page, there is no birth date and no early history listed! Why is she hiding her past? Mindy Cohen, make it make sense.

Amid mounting backlash over US President Donald Trump's reported plans to deport naturalized citizens, a viral petition on MoveOn, a progressive advocacy platform, called for the deportation of First Lady Melania Trump, her parents, and son Barron Trump--arguing that Trump's own family should not be exempted from the policies he championed.

The petition stated, "Since Trump wants to deport naturalized citizens, I believe it is only fair that Melania and her parents are on the first boat out. In addition, Melania's anchor baby, Baron, should be forced to leave as well because we know that his mother's mother was born in a different country. That is part of the criteria that Trump is putting into place. Your mother's mother has to have been born in the United States and we know Melania's mother was born elsewhere. If it's good for one, it's good for all! There should be no exceptions! On the first boat or flight out!"

The petition further argued that the move would prevent perceptions of favoritism, adding, "If this is truly about national security, then Melania needs to go!" The remarks reflected growing public frustration over what many viewed as double standards in Trump's deportation agenda.

According to Fox News, the petition surfaced just days after Democratic California Rep. Maxine Waters, during an anti-DOGE protest in Los Angeles on March 25, suggested that Trump should investigate and potentially deport Melania Trump.

"When he [Trump] talks about birthright, and he's going to undo the fact that the Constitution allows those who are born here, even if the parents are undocumented, they have a right to stay in America. If he wants to start looking so closely to find those who were born here and their parents were undocumented, maybe he ought to first look at Melania," Waters was seen saying from the stage, various videos posted on social media showed, Fox News reported.

She added, "We don't know whether or not her parents were documented. And maybe we better just take a look." According to Fox News, her remarks were met with loud cheers from protestors at the rally, which focused on opposing Trump's federal government downsizing agenda.

Fox News also reported that Melania Trump, born in the former Yugoslavia, became a US citizen in 2006. She was the first US first lady to become a naturalized citizen and the second to be born outside the United States, after Louisa Catherine Johnson Adams, wife of President John Quincy Adams.

In 2018, The New York Times reported that Melania sponsored her parents, Viktor and Amalija Knavs, for green cards and later citizenship. Amalija Knavs passed away in 2024, while Viktor Knavs has been seen at recent public events with the Trump family.

Waters' comments came in response to an executive order signed by Trump on his first day in office that aimed to reinterpret the 14th Amendment and restrict birthright citizenship. The order, currently under judicial review, seeks to exclude individuals born to undocumented immigrants or parents on temporary visas from automatic US citizenship.

During the March 25 protest, Waters joined hundreds marching to the VA hospital on Los Angeles' Wilshire Boulevard. She declared, "We are here because we are not going to let Trump, we're not going to let Elon Musk, his co-president, or anybody else take the United States Constitution down."

Her remarks on Melania Trump quickly spread on social media platforms like TikTok and X, drawing sharp criticism from conservatives. "Maxine Waters wants to deport Melania," posted the popular X account End Wokeness, as cited by Fox News.

Has anyone heard from their Republican friends or family members about how they feel regarding Trump and everything that’s unfolded since he took office? I'm talking about the major issues: the mass deportations, the trade tariffs and their effects on the economy, the dismissal of federal workers, the bombing of Iran, and the sweeping cuts to what he once called the “big, beautiful bill.” And of course, the ongoing influence over the Supreme Court.

How are they reacting to all of this? Are they as angry, disillusioned, or alarmed as many of us are? Or are they still fully on board, supporting and even celebrating the direction things have taken?

It looks absolutely awful!

How could he sign on to a film like this??

I'm kind of embarrassed for him, to be honest.

This could be a career killer.

This season promises to be a shit show.

From 2001 to 2009, George Walker Bush was the leader of the Free World. During that time, his administration saw a terrorist attack, two wars, AIDS relief in Africa, one of the worst natural disasters in history, and the global financial crisis.

During his first term, Bush leaned more heavily on hawks and neoconservatives. Advisors like Dick Cheney, Paul Wolfowitz, Douglas Feith, and Donald Rumsfeld pushed an aggressive, ideology-driven foreign policy in the Middle East.

By his second term, Bush pivoted to a more pragmatic and moderate advisors, such as Condoleezza Rice, Robert Gates, Hank Paulson, and General David Petraeus. They were not the fire breathing neoconservatives with chips on their shoulder about the Middle East, but rather diplomatic and balanced on the national stage.

Now with the reelection of Donald Trump and the Trump Regime in full effect, people are nostalgic for this administration. Why?

The first, Brian Pruett, was a college player with model looks who now appears to be doing fitness training and coaching. The second, Greg Vogel, apparently actually did modeling. His private Instagram profile, MikeVogel888, reads “God and Family first. Husband and Father.”

Pruett:

Jim Shooter, the editor-in-chief of Marvel in the 70s and 80s has died. His reign was influential and controversial.

He had an edict that there were to be no gay heroes at all, something John Byrne got around very subtly with Northstar in “Alpha Flight”. He changed the original Dark Phoenix ending so that she would die, he wrote the shitty “Secret Wars” series and created the Marvel New Universe in 1986 which was a big flop. But he also was behind the Claremont X-Men, the Roger Stern Spider-Man, and the Walt Simonson Thor.

He wass also super tall.

Further proof that Mike Judge is a prophet.

Go on.

this sounds like something from the Kate McKinnon SNL Barbara DeDrew sketch.

Cat beats up on neighbor

The “Rowdy Girls” episode of DESIGNING WOMEN is an example. Charlene’s cousin, Mavis, is getting the shit beat out of her by her husband. Charlene discovers this while Mavis is coaching the decorators to lipsync to The Supremes for some performance. This B plot with the performance is primarily focused on Suzanne wanting to appear in black face (she does). The B plot and the main plot intersect when Mavis shows up at the performance and Charlene triumphantly punches the air while lipsyncing when she sees Mavis at the back of the auditorium with her kids.

Animal shelter employees were enjoying a rare quiet moment in the lobby when a yell came from a room designated for small animals: “Shut the fuck up.”

Four employees looked at one another in confusion. Then the shriek came again.

The culprit? Hendrix, a blue-and-gold macaw who came to the shelter the prior month, surrendered by his longtime owner. The cursing only became louder after that late-May afternoon.

A Florida man is in jail after he called McDonald's on his own phone three times and threatened to "shoot this s— up" — all because they forgot to include his Chicken McNuggets in his order, deputies say.

Dayton Wayne Schaffer, 18, stands accused of using a two-way communication device to commit a felony and false report of a bomb or weapon of mass destruction.

Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd was sure to fit in as many McDonald's puns as he could in a video announcing the arrest.

"This guy acted like a McNut," Judd quipped. "So this McNut didn't get his McNuggets from McDonald's. On three different occasions, he threatens to shoot the place up. He uses all kinds of foul language… So he used his Mcphone to make a Mcthreat to McDonald's."

Employees called deputies around 1 a.m. Wednesday to report the threat. In the calls, he allegedly threatened to "shoot it up" and "shoot this s— up," a probable cause arrest affidavit said.

"McDonald's staff advised they were concerned about the threats, locking all doors, and calling the Polk County Sheriff's Office," deputies wrote.

Cops were able to tie the phone to Schaffer. They went to his home and his mother confirmed the phone belonged to him, police said. Deputies tracked Shaffer down at a buddy's house.

Post-Miranda, Shaffer admitted to making the call because they messed up his $5 meal deal.

"He claimed it was a joke and did not have any intentions of shooting anyone at McDonald's," deputies wrote.

Judd noted that when Shaffer called, the manager said if he came back, they would give him his nuggets. But that offer was met with vulgarities.

"His rant went on and his rant went on and his rant went on," said Judd.

Shaffer remained in the Polk County Jail without bond. He has a court date scheduled for Aug. 5.

As he runs for mayor of New York City, Zohran Mamdani has made his identity as a Muslim immigrant of South Asian descent a key part of his appeal.

But as a high school senior in 2009, Mr. Mamdani, the Democratic nominee, claimed another label when he applied to Columbia University. Asked to identify his race, he checked a box that he was "Asian" but also "Black or African American," according to internal data derived from a hack of Columbia University that was shared with The New York Times.

Columbia, like many elite universities, used a race-conscious affirmative action admissions program at the time. Reporting that his race was Black or African American in addition to Asian could have given an advantage to Mr. Mamdani, who was born in Uganda and spent his earliest years there.

In an interview on Thursday, Mr. Mamdani, 33, said he did not consider himself either Black or African American, but rather "an American who was born in Africa." He said his answers on the college application were an attempt to represent his complex background given the limited choices before him, not to gain an upper hand in the admissions process. (He was not accepted at Columbia.)

"Most college applications don't have a box for Indian-Ugandans, so I checked multiple boxes trying to capture the fullness of my background," said Mr. Mamdani, a state lawmaker from Queens.

The application allowed students to provide "more specific information where relevant," and Mr. Mamdani said that he wrote in, "Ugandan." "Even though these boxes are constraining, I wanted my college application to reflect who I was," he added.

For my birthday a few years ago, I took the train to Baltimore, got a suite at the Hotel Monaco, and went to Charleston.

Alone. On my birthday.

And it was pretty fantastic. My 7 course meal turned into a nine course meal (two complimentary), and also wine to match. It was really perfect, and on my own terms. Chef Cindy Wolf signed my menu. Pretty great experience, and it's right on Inner Harbor. It really was a sublime night. Then Sondheim was on Colbert that night and I drifted off into a perfect food coma. I think it was the last appearance of Sondheim on TV too, but that's another story, nevermind, anyway...

The Hotel Monaco, oth, was a very bad experience, sadly. That's why I adored the service at Charleston. I'm a concierge at a luxury hotel in a big city, I love when good service is given back to me.

I need to see that!

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."

The annoying troll doesn't let up for a moment and you can see Alec getting more and more pissed.

At one point, Scoop rubs Alec's nose in Kamala Harris' loss to Trump in the election. Of course, the famous actor voted for Kamala and did his own mocking impressions of Trump on "Saturday Night Live."

Scoop talks about Baldwin not wanting a pardon for "murdering that woman in cold blood," going so far as to say Hutchins is "looking down on me right now" and thanking Scoop for confronting Baldwin over her death.

That pushed Alec over the edge and, in classic Baldwin fashion, he got right up in Scoop's face.

The storylines were contrived and unrealistic. The comedy wasn't particularly innovative. Yet it had that certain something. Was it exceptional acting? Cast chemistry? I was on a long transatlantic flight this week and Friends was one of the few entertainment offerings, so I watched several episodes. They were dull, yet I was drawn in...

Will Aunt Jack and Diane be caught sucking on a chili dog outside the tasty freeze? Will Cane, since he’s returned, be into fat chicks now as a fetish, and encourage Traci to eat all the burgers and chips at the Abbott July 4th barbecue and finally dick her down? Will Jabottom and Audra resume their fucking in new and interesting ways, complete with a strap on for our fair lad? Will Nate, Holden and Damian give us loads of chocolate milk in the Athletic Club steam room? Will Victor keel over at the next Genoa City gathering, and drive Nikki back to drinking in alleys and hiding flasks again? And will Mooriah and Tessa break up for good and will anyone care?

I know I'll be far from the only person who experiences this, but I went for a promotion into a manager role about a year ago and I really regret it. Of course the money is better, but looking after people is such a drag.

I don't mind the expected things like performance reviews, catch-up meetings, etc, but in this position I'm now exposed to the general incompetence of people much more than I used to be.

I used to feel bad asking my manager more than 1 or 2 questions a week on the understanding that I should be able to use my intelligence to answer most queries myself or at least know who to speak to in the business to get said queries resolved. But I'm now saddled with people who have no shame in constantly asking me questions or expecting me to drop my work for last minute meetings or phone calls where they ask multiple questions because they're either too stupid or lazy to at least attempt to find out the answers. Most of them are in their 20s.

I've started to answer their questions in a less direct way now - eg instead of just giving them the answer I give them instructions on how they can find it out for themselves to try to teach a bit of independence. But it generally falls on deaf ears. I'm hesitant to call it out in a critical way, because I suspect they may say they've got an "unsupportive manager" which obviously I don't want.

Feel free to share your experiences of incompetent work colleagues. I'm sure you'll have far worse tales than me and I might feel better about my lot as a result!

Adcock was caught on video disparaging the Houston native at one of his recent concerts.

“There’s only three people in front of me on the Apple Music country charts, and one of them is Beyoncé,” Adcock declared. “You can tell her we’re coming for her fucking ass.”

As the crowd cheered in approval, Adcock doubled down: “That shit ain’t country music, it ain’t ever been country music and it ain’t gonna be country music.”

So funny how he got distracted by kissing.

TCM is showing her one woman show as part of their queer film pride month night.

This woman was closeted for decades, pretended to have a crush on Letterman AND SHE SAID DON'T TOUCH CALVIN KLEIN UNDERWEAR ADS BECAUSE THEY GIVE YOU AIDS.

And no TCM has her up there with Harvey Milk.

She is not someone to admire.

Anyone met her? What is she like as a person? Was she really playing for both sides early in her career or was she always ladies only?

Does she even write for huffpost?

From BBC.com

Liverpool forward Diogo Jota has died in a car crash, aged 28.

The Portugal forward's brother Andre Silva also died in the accident, which took place in the Spanish province of Zamora.

The 25-year-old was also a professional footballer, with Portuguese second-tier club Penafiel.

The Guardia Civil has told BBC Sport that Jota and his brother died at about 00:30 local time on Thursday.

They said that their car, a Lamborghini, left the road due to a tyre blowout while overtaking another vehicle and then caught fire.

Jota married his long-term partner Rute Cardoso, with whom he had three children, just 11 days ago.

He recently posted pictures on social media, external of the ceremony, which took place on 22 June.

Liverpool said they "are devastated" at the loss of Jota, who they signed from Wolves for £41m in 2020.

We need a general thread for figure skating news and discussion so I thought I'd start one.

Gracie Gold has a new memoir coming out called, wait for it, “Outofshapeworthlessloser” and in it she writes that she was raped at 21 by a fellow skater in a hotel suite where she and her sister held an event after-party. Five years after her alleged assault was reported to the U.S. Center for Safesport, she has no idea about the status of her complaint. She hasn't heard from the center in three years.

“Age verification” (AV) is the requirement for online platforms to implement strict methods to verify the age of their users, in order to prevent minors from accessing adult content.

By “strict,” we mean methods such as ID uploads, facial age estimation, credit card checks, or mobile operator verification. The allowed methods vary depending on the country.

At face value, it may sound reasonable — even like a good idea.

However, there are countless problems with it — many of which have been pointed out by credible observers, repeatedly.

Wow, what a voice!

Marisha Wallace will star in "Cabaret" at the Kit Kat Club née August Wilson Theatre on Broadway alongside Billy Porter beginning July 22, both reprising their performances from the revival's West End bow in London.

Wallace, a veteran of the original Broadway companies of Aladdin and Something Rotten!, is making a return to New York after becoming a star in the West End—a journey that began with a last-minute replacement as Effie White in the U.K. Dreamgirls revival, and of course singing "And I Am Telling You."

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).

Beth is a sweet person compared to her mother.

A JEWish doctor. Probably Jewish maybe just German

I have changed my mind. I said here on the datalounge that Beth would be best friends with Barbara Thorndkye but it's her mother who would be besties with Barbara and love the food and free parking at the Mortimer Club.

I was watching “sailor of the king” and wondered if the director had a crush on Hunter the way he filmed him homoerotically throughout the picture. Then I found out the director was none other than the former husband of Hayley mills, Roy boulting.

I must say though that I think Hunter was filmed beautifully in this film in both his uniform and half naked for the second half. He looked like a fantasy with his body glistening with sweat and a slight smattering of chest hair.

I’ve revisited some of his movies lately because they were mentioned in other threads and it’s curious that he wasn’t selected for some of those sexy male roles like brick in “cat on hot run roof”. He really would have been good in some of those Tennessee Williams pictures.

GAME OVER

I don't even think she's ever been overweight(?)

I watched Heretic for the first time yesterday, which got me thinking: why DO so many films start out promising and then fall apart in the third act? It seems a common problem.

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.

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

Polly Holliday, who inspired many drag queens in the 70s and 80s with her sense of sexy style as 'Florence Jean Castlebury' on the television series 'Alice' and the spin-off 'Flo' turns 86 today. No word on whether Linda Lavin sent flowers to her old nemesis.

It came out in 2022, and I'm giving it a second watch. The series, produced in Argentina and listing Salma Hayek as en executive producer, begins with the 1952 death of Eva Peron and the subsequent embalming of her corpse. We know the rest -- President Juan Peron is eventually exiled to Spain when a new administration takes charge three years later. An Italian sculptor creates three copies of her body. Members of the military, not wanting Eva's body to be preserved and displayed, do not know which body is the real corpse, so they take each of the bodies to bury elsewhere at different locations in Argentina.

Have you watched the series? What did you think of it? I found the multiple implied instances of her corpse's desecration unnerving but necessary to the story. The series is riveting and the English language dubbing awful.

Darlings, I’m currently in Switzerland on a work trip and sweating my tits off. They do not believe in air conditioning, which would be fine had it not been 97° today. There is absolutely no reprieve and I thought I might pass out at one point.

I have seen comments about San Francisco based Mike Gaite, but I have not seen a thread about him.

He has some hot videos. I have heard he is a Stanford educated lawyer. Is that true? Any proof?

In my dream, it was all over the news that he had died in an apartment fire after falling asleep with a lit cigarette in his mouth, and the neighbours on other floors got burned too. Then a different news report came saying he was dead, but this report said it was a shark attack. People were all over the streets crying, the same way they were crying for Liam Payne.

It felt so real. I'm not psychic but I got a bad feeling he's gonna die this year in a freak accident.

I searched, but couldn't find a thread dedicated to the refined and elegant musical starring Deborah Kerr and Yul Brynner.

The film, an adaptation of Rodgers and Hammerstein's play, which was based on Margaret Landon's novel Anna and the King of Siam (1944), which is in turn derived from the memoirs of Anna Leonowens, the governess to the children of King Mongkut of Siam in the early 1860's.

The film also features Rita Moreno and Sir Alan Mowbray.

According to a June 30 report from famed celebrity reporter Rob Shuter, Bezos was fuming when he learned what Charlize Theron said about his decadent Venice wedding, while Sanchez had to be “talked down” from firing off against the South African actress on Instagram.

Per Shuter, the newlyweds have now banned Theron from attending their future events, including Blue Origin launches, and any future charity galas sponsored by the couple.

“I think we might be the only people who did not get an invite to the Bezos wedding. But that’s OK because they suck and we’re cool,” Theron said. She then called attention to the world’s political crises, a reality that has caused many to criticize Bezos and Sanchez for their tone-deaf event.

*Private sector hiring unexpectedly contracted in June, payrolls processing firm ADP said Wednesday.

*It's a potential sign that the economy may not be as sturdy as investors believe.

Private payrolls lost 33,000 jobs in June, the ADP report showed, the first decrease since March 2023. Economists polled by Dow Jones forecast an increase of 100,000 for the month. The May job growth figure was revised even lower to just 29,000 jobs added from 37,000.

Jim Farley, the CEO of Ford, said on Friday that the Chinese EV industry posed a serious threat to the American automaker.

"It's the most humbling thing I have ever seen. Seventy percent of all EVs in the world, electric vehicles, are made in China," Farley said.

"They have far superior in-vehicle technology. Huawei and Xiaomi are in every car," Farley added. "You get in, you don't have to pair your phone. Automatically, your whole digital life is mirrored in the car."

That's what I heard but I don't know if it's just a rumor. Was his body ever actually found? Is that why he was "buried at sea"?

The young man had a side business (legally) transporting pets across the US-Mexico border. But on one fateful trip, he arrived in the Texas desert to find he was hired to transport not dogs or cats but human beings. He was threatened with arrest if he didn't mule the people deeper into Texas, so he complied with the coyote's demand. He was arrested while doing so, and his TSA security clearance was suspended due to the nature of the arrest. He alleged all along that he was duped into transporting illegal immigrants across Texas in his car.

He eventually got the case dismissed and his clearance restored, but soon after, the TSA suspended him again, making him ineligible to fly for work, travel on an airplane, or buy a gun. He's now suing the TSA, alleging economic hardship.

There’s a new one gone everyday.

According to The Telegraph, King Charles has made a conscious effort to include not only Harry but also Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, and their children, Prince Archie, 6, and Princess Lilibet, 3, in his long-term funeral arrangements.

Sources indicate that the Sussex family is considered integral to these plans. Harry is expected to walk alongside his brother, William, during the formal processions through London.

Both he and Meghan will be invited to participate in the family vigil during the monarch's lying-in-state at Westminster Hall, and they will be given "prominent roles" during the funeral at Westminster Abbey.

When are we going to stop pretending that these people aren’t psychopaths? Of course mommy doesn’t want to believe that their child can be dangerous but honestly, isn’t it time to call a spade a spade? Not every person with autism is going to kill but it definitely ups the chances of them doing something horrible as they can’t pick up on social cues and can’t relate to emotions or feelings, not to mention that they usually end up as social outcasts.

For me it was with the Like A Prayer music video when it first came out in 1989.

Rather awkwardly for a leading expert on serial killers who wrote a book with the title 'How to Catch a Killer', Kohberger had Dr Katherine Ramsland completely fooled. She claims he exhibited no 'red flags' or warning signs, and she now hopes he will collaborate with her on future research into his 'developmental trajectory' because she could ask him questions that no-one else could.

I'm not sure how this sits with his supposed recent diagnosis of autism - I know autists are supposed to be good at masking but wouldn't autism make it exceptionally difficult to hide all your red flags from someone like Ramsland over an extended period of time?

There's a man in NYC known as 'The Human Carpet' who wraps himself in a carpet and lays on the sidewalk so people can step on him.

I am lost as to why the producers/director/writers of a film that SLAYED would dramatically change the tone so much-

This sequel was a sure thing and these idiots likely lost a good 50-100 million dollars.

The exit tracking (I read on another site) is not that bad, so folks who went enjoyed it for what it was.

I also just read that another film called Soulmate (which actually sounds really good) is filming now and is set in the M3gan universe- so this puts that film in jeopardy too.

James Stewart became a top leading man in Frank Capra's 1939 political comedy-drama "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington." Jimmy was perfect for the role of Jefferson Smith, an idealistic guy who becomes a senator, and has to face the wolves of Washington, DC! Sentimental, for sure. Still a powerful film with a timely message, an incredible cast, especially Stewart, who shines. My look here at "Mr. Smith":

Who here has, or has ever had, a pet that turned into an evil little bastard? Maybe a cat who broke your Lalique on purpose? A dog who shat on your best caftan? A gerbil who ruined your date night?

My cat is a fat little devil who lives for attacking bare feet, breaking into cabinets, and knocking shit on the floor just because I won’t feed him eight times a day. Is he going to kill me in my sleep?

Glastonbury Festival organisers said they are "appalled" by comments made by punk duo Bob Vylan that called for "death" to the Israeli military during a performance on Saturday.

Rapper Bobby Vylan led chants of "free, free Palestine" and "death, death to the IDF [Israel Defense Forces]".

The festival said the statements "very much crossed a line", while antisemitism campaigners said they will formally complain to the BBC over its "outrageous decision" to broadcast the act live.

A BBC spokesperson previously said some of the comments were "deeply offensive", adding it had issued a warning on screen about "very strong and discriminatory language". The set will not be available on BBC iPlayer.

I misread this as "Heath Thorpe ‘stroked’ after winning his first gold medal...".

Stephen Miller Appreciation Thread

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.

It's double trouble when TCM airs "Dead Ringer" tonite at 8 pm/ET & "A Stolen Life" at 1:30 am/ET. Bette Davis plays twins in both, in conflict over a man.  '64's "Ringer" is Bette in her post-"Baby Jane" phase, as a rich rotten sister & the poor sister who plots revenge. Great fun & mature cast!  '46's "A Stolen Life" was one of Bette's biggest hits at WB. In this romance, there's a selfish sister & a low-key sister. Young Glenn Ford is the man who attracts both sibs. This is a romantic soap, in "The Great Lie" vein. My look at all these sisters here:

Let’s go to the phones…

Anyone else just love this bonkers melodrama? I think it's way more entertaining than Valley of the Dolls...it's just so wrong on so many levels.

Dyan Cannon, setting the bed of the two fluzies in the shower with Law, on fire, while Dracula plays on the TV, it's unreal.

They say faggot a lot too.

Also, Dionne Warwick on the soundtrack is actually pretty terrific. I frequently play Amanda's Theme.

Hard to find though, got a dvd from Amazon years ago.

Just watched The Substance. Demi Moore finally did what aging stars used to do — she got grotesque, raw, and fully unhinged. Think Bette Davis in Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?, Gloria Swanson in Sunset Boulevard, Shelley Winters in Night of the Hunter, or Jack Nicholson in The Shining and About Schmidt. Aging used to unlock something in stars. Now it shuts them down.

Gen X actors? They’ve completely flopped at aging.

Clooney, Damon, Hamm, Affleck — they should’ve become the next Hackman, Mitchum, or Stewart-in-his-Hitchcock-era. Older, haunted, morally compromised. Instead, they’re clinging to charm and relevance like it’s 2005. Still trying to be the “guy” rather than the character.

And the women? Julia Roberts, Sandra Bullock, Jennifer Aniston — allergic to risk. No hag horror. No psychological decay. No dangerous glamour. Just Botox and bland prestige roles about wine moms, CEOs, or therapists.

Meanwhile, younger actors — Kristen Stewart, Mia Goth, Paul Mescal, Barry Keoghan — are doing what Gen X wouldn’t. They’re letting themselves be ugly, strange, and specific. They’re already giving us what Gen X never did: character work.

Demi Moore made her Baby Jane. The rest of her generation still thinks they’re in My Best Friend’s Wedding.

“I didn’t audition. I went in and met Barbara Broccoli,” Goode said. “It was quite a funny one because — and she’s gorgeous and just a lovely, lovely person — she was like, ‘So what’s your idea for Bond?’ And I was like, ‘My idea for Bond. We’ve gotta take it back to the books, you know? Really, we absolutely have to make this guy an alcoholic, a drug addict. He hates himself. He hates women. He hates a lot of people. He’s in deep pain. He’s brilliant at killing people.'”

Goode continued, “I think by the end of the interview, she was like, ‘Mhmm. Next.’ I wanted to make it really dark, but what I should have said was, ‘But also incredibly charming.'”

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.

What happened?

Wait for it

Has anyone seen this film? I have never heard of it and it doesn't seem to be very well known. The Criterion Collection put it out somewhat recently and I came across it while perusing their titles as they're having their 50% off sale now at Barnes & Noble. I've always thought Carradine was sexy as hell and some of the reviews I've read on it describe it as a kind of neon-bathed odyssey through late-night Los Angeles in the '80s. Is it any good?

He's talking about Justine.

I am really bad at it.

He’s concentrating like a chess player.

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

I will be watching.

He acts like he's Oprah or something. The real rich use Net Jets while the extremely rich convert 787's into private planes for world travel.

His gaunt appearance sparks concern from worried fans!

Parts of it are quite beautiful and the wether is nice and warm. It feels tropical and is so green. It’s too bad it’s full of freaks and racists.

Oh, shit.

Production on the new “Masters of the Universe” movie has wrapped, and to mark the occasion, star Nicholas Galitzine offered up a first look at him in costume as He-Man, the most powerful man in the universe, who must battle the evil Skeletor in this adaptation of the Mattel toy franchise.

“Well, that’s a wrap on ‘Masters of the Universe.’ It has been an honour shouldering the responsibility of playing Adam and He Man,” Galitzine posted on Instagram. “It’s been the role of a lifetime and I put everything into it. There’s not much I can show you, but I am so proud of the movie we’ve made. Thanks to our amazing cast and crew for all your hard work.”

July 1, 1998 - Barbra Streisand married actor James Brolin in her Beverly Hills back yard, two years to the day in which the two of them met on a 'fix up' at a dinner party. It was the second marriage for Streisand, then 56 and the third for Brolin, then 57 (he would turn 58 two weeks after).

27 years later, they are still happily married, now known as one of the 'longest' celebrity marriages in Hollywood. Brolin, who turns 85 in two weeks, has admitted they go to therapy 'regularly' and that is what has strengthened their marriage. Streisand, 83, just released her 37th studio album for Columbia Records.

I’m assuming Crowe will play Ramirez.

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.

The bitterness and bitchery of elderly trans women is like DL come to life in this documentary. The petty jealousies are still there after half a century which makes it fun.

[quote]Lear's background remains a mystery. She has variously let it be known that her mother was English or French or Vietnamese or Chinese, and that her father was English, Russian, French or Indonesian. She may have been born in Hanoi in 1939, or Hong Kong in either 1941 or 1946. Once she said she was from Transylvania. And to this day, it is a matter of conjecture as to whether she was born a boy or a girl.

Actor Debra Messing wrote an Islamophobic comment on her Instagram in reference to New York City Democratic mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, claiming that he “celebrated” 9/11.

“I have nothing against Socialism, don’t know where you got that,” Messing, who is known for her role in the sitcom “Will & Grace,” wrote in an Instagram comment replying to a user who called her out for sharing a reel denouncing socialism. “I voted against M because he celebrated 9/11. Let that sink in. I love my country. My reasoning is not Islamophobia. I’ve chosen to live in the most beautifully diverse city in the world. The same people who did 9/11 did Oct. 7. I just don’t want a mayor who sides with terrorists. Oh and he wants to defund the police. And he has no experience. I’ll stop here.”

If elected in November, Mamdani, a democratic socialist and state assemblyman who was born and raised in Uganda before moving to New York City at age 7, would become New York City’s first Muslim mayor. Since his primary win Tuesday, he has faced an influx of Islamophobic threats on social media — some from far-right figures, like Laura Loomer, who wrote on social media that because of his win, New York will face another 9/11.

Messing’s claim that Mamdani, who was 9 years old in September 2001, “celebrated” 9/11 and sides with terrorists seemingly comes from a rap song he wrote in 2017, in which he praised the now-defunct Islamic charity Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development. The five leaders of the group were convicted in 2009 of “providing material support to Hamas,” which the U.S. recognizes as a foreign terrorist organization. A number of human rights organizations in 2022 called for the pardon of the five leaders on the basis that money went to social programs run by Palestinian charities and did not directly fund Hamas.

Mamdani has been critical of Israel’s government, accusing it of committing a genocide in Gaza. His criticism of Israel has led some to call him antisemitic.

“I’ve said at every opportunity that there is no room for antisemitism in this city, in this country,” Mamdani, who also said it “pains” him to be “called an antisemite,” said last week. “I’ve said that because that is something I personally believe.”

Representatives for Messing and Mamdani did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

New York City Comptroller Brad Lander, who is Jewish and ran against Mamdani for Democratic candidate for New York City mayor, wrote on social media that threats against Mamdani are “morally reprehensible.”

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — President Donald Trump will visit a new immigration detention center in the Florida Everglades on Tuesday for what’s expected to be the site’s official opening, showcasing what critics are condemning as an inhumane makeshift prison camp and what supporters are embracing as a national model for aggressively ramping up detention and deportation efforts.

Florida officials have raced to erect the compound of heavy-duty tents, trailers and temporary buildings in a matter of days, as part of the state’s muscular efforts to help carry out Trump’s immigration crackdown.

The facility is located at an isolated airfield about 45 miles (72 kilometers) west of downtown Miami and is surrounded by swamps filled with mosquitoes, pythons and alligators. Dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz” by state officials, supporters say the reference to the notorious federal prison and the harshness of the conditions at the facility are meant to be a deterrent.

Ryan Wach still isn't entirely sure what compelled his 14-year-old son Zane Wach to walk off the edge of a cliff, but he hopes the boy will be able to tell his own tale soon.

Father and son were hiking California's Mount Whitney on June 10 when the teen experienced altitude sickness and walked off a 120-foot trail ledge, according to his family. The teen has been in a coma since being rescued, but his dad shared that he is now breathing on his own after being taken off a ventilator.

This porcine beauty and her pig-faced daughter both voted for Trump despite being so poor they had to sell lemonade for a gravesite for her husband, whose hospital stay was paid for by ... Medicaid.

Scroll on down for a MOMMA BONUS! Smokin' hot Kentucky cagemeat Darren Bullock also voted for Trump and is likely to lose his Medicaid because he doesn't have a job (or a car, or even a cellphone). He does seem attached to his cigs and, I would bet, meth. Momma is making room in her trailer as we speak!

Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez’s wedding reportedly didn’t include Lady Gaga’s performance due to the alleged whopping fee the singer demanded.

Earlier, reports suggested that Lady Gaga and Elton John might perform for the attendees, but the groom reportedly said no to the artists.

A source told Rob Shuter’s ShuterScoop that Bezos’ team approached the singers for the event. “Each wanted $6 million for a single night. Jeff said, ‘Absolutely not,'” the insider claimed. However, a guest claimed that some of them “came for Gaga.”

Lisa Tate is a sixth-generation farmer in Ventura County, California, an area that produces billions of dollars worth of fruit and vegetables each year, much of it hand-picked by immigrants in the U.S. illegally.

"In the fields, I would say 70% of the workers are gone," she said in an interview. "If 70% of your workforce doesn't show up, 70% of your crop doesn't get picked and can go bad in one day. Most Americans don't want to do this work. Most farmers here are barely breaking even. I fear this has created a tipping point where many will go bust."

An alleged attack in Provincetown, Massachusetts, early Monday is being investigated as a possible hate crime, with police releasing new details Tuesday morning as they called on the public for help.

Provincetown police said the victim reported that three men got out of a vehicle and attacked him on the east end of Bradford Street between 1 and 2 a.m. The person didn’t need hospitalization after being evaluated by paramedics Monday afternoon.

The victim described the car as a black Lexus sedan, and described the attackers as three men ages 20 to 30. They also reported that the suspects used a homophobic slur during the attack.

Police are asking the public to review any security or doorbell cameras in the area of Howland Street between 1 a.m. and 2 a.m. for anything that could be linked to the attack.

“The Provincetown Police Department is taking this report very seriously and has detectives actively investigating the incident,” police said in a statement, adding that everyone in the department was “alerted to this incident and will continue working hard to stay vigilant and keep everyone safe.”

Lily Allen did not hold back while reflecting on her history of abortions.

The “Smile” singer, 40, spoke candidly about the topic during the Monday, June 30, episode of her “Miss Me?” podcast with cohost Miquita Oliver.

“I have an IUD now, I think I’m on my third, maybe fourth, and I just remember, before that was a complete disaster area,” Allen said. “I’d get pregnant all the time.”

“I used to get pregnant all the time.”

Less than three years before Elon Musk tapped him to take part in a sweeping overhaul of the US government, Edward Coristine, then 17, was the subject of a heated dispute between two executives at the Arizona-based cybersecurity firm where he was an intern.

At issue was whether to allow Coristine to keep his job even though he was suspected of leaking proprietary information to a competitor.

“You’re willing to risk our entire network to a 17-year-old?” one frustrated executive asked the company’s CEO in 2022. “Are you for real right now?”

[quote]Rachael Ray continued to spark fan concern on Saturday when she exhibited “bizarre behavior” at an event for her new gin. Over the weekend, the celebrity chef hosted a meet-and-greet and bottle signing event for her Staple Gin, which launched in May 2024, in New York City. [bold]Twenty fans showed up[/bold] at the Broadway Spirits store after paying $50 and braved Manhattan in 80-degree weather as they waited for Ray, who made it to the signing “20 minutes late."

Twenty whole fans!

[quote]An insider claimed to the outlet that something “seemed off” with the Food Network alum, 56, as she showed “bizarre behavior” while greeting fans and handing out bottles of her gin and baseball caps. “She got oddly close to some people, hugging them in a way that seemed overly familiar as she posed for photos,” the source added. “You know how Drew Barrymore acts with celebrity guests on her talk show — just like that.”

[quote]The event was initially scheduled to run from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m., but the meet-and-greet allegedly wrapped “in less than an hour.” “Around halfway through the event, there was no line outside,” the source said. “Organizers were then standing outside telling random people about Rachael Ray doing a bottle signing.”

Ben "Lucky" Schlappig is a successful airline blogger, writing about airline seats, frequent flyer programs, hotels, etc. He's memorable on DL for his anecdote about once being so "gay famous" that a male flight attendant tried to jerk him off on a red-eye flight. He has an exhaustive knowledge of aviation and air travel programs, and is on the spectrum. It's charming, but also a little offbeat. Reporters who've interacted with Ben have found him polite enough, but socially awkward and maladjusted when talking about anything outside of air travel.

Anywho, a few years ago, he and his trust fund hubby had their first surro-brat, and they named him Miles. This was a cute wink to the world, given Ben's occupation and genuine obsession.

They've now had their second sprog, this one named "Jet." I'm happy that he's happy, but this second name seems a lot less cute than the first one.

So what do we make of this? Both kids have names that directly reference their father's occupation and personal obsession at the time of their birth.

I figure it’ll be filled with tech bros

"Co-creating the show has been a career highlight," Druckmann said in a statement.

The Last of Us season 2 was the last of Neil Druckmann.

The co-creator of the original video games announced on Wednesday that he's leaving his post as co-showrunner of the HBO series ahead of season 3. He will remain attached to the show as a co-creator and executive producer, Entertainment Weekly has learned. However, Druckmann will now longer write or direct season 3.

Instead, Druckmann will focus his attention on Naughty Dog, the gaming studio he runs.

Craig Mazin, his partner in crime for the first two seasons, including its Emmy-winning freshman run, will now serve as the sole showrunner.

"I've made the difficult decision to step away from my creative involvement in The Last of Us on HBO," Druckmann said in a statement. "With work completed on season 2 and before any meaningful work starts on season 3, now is the right time for me to transition my complete focus to Naughty Dog and its future projects, including writing and directing our exciting next game, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, along with my responsibilities as Studio Head and Head of Creative."

The statement continued, "Co-creating the show has been a career highlight. It's been an honor to work alongside Craig Mazin to executive produce, direct, and write on the last two seasons. I'm deeply thankful for the thoughtful approach and dedication the talented cast and crew took to adapting The Last of Us Part I and the continued adaptation of The Last of Us Part II. I look forward to HBO and PlayStation Productions continuing Ellie and Abby's story next season."

Mazin released his own statement on the matter. "It’s been a creative dream to work with Neil and bring an adaptation of his brilliant work to life on HBO," he said. "I couldn’t have asked for a more generous creative partner. As a true fan of Naughty Dog and Neil’s work in video games, I’m beyond excited to play his next game. While he focuses on that, I’ll continue to work with our brilliant cast and crew to deliver the show our audience has come to expect. We are so grateful to Neil and Halley Gross for entrusting the incredible story of The Last of Us Part II to us, and we’re just as grateful to the millions of people around the world who tune in."

Beautiful, elegant, and well educated, Grace Kelly had a short film career that lasted 5 years and consisted of 11 films. In 1956, she wed Prince Rainier III, the sovereign of the Principality of Monaco. As Princess, she focused on historical preservation, the fine arts, fashion, and gardening.

So, what is your favorite Grace Kelly performance?

Let me be the first to post it.

Writing this Op-Ed for World AIDS Day

I believe that televised awards shows are not a forum for expressing personal religious, social or political views. However, I have not objected when fellow performers have worn red ribbon to express their support for AIDS research; that's their choice. My choice is NOT to wear a ribbon.

Soap Opera Digest readers should know wearing a red ribbon is no longer entirely voluntary. Those who began by offering ribbons to performers now resort to extreme tactics in pursuit of their express goal of 100 percent conformity. When performers arrive at an award show, individuals who attempt to pin ribbons on them accost them. A performer who declines may be accosted at the pre-show reception, again while waiting backstage and again at the press conference after the show.

Offering these ribbons to celebrities was, in my view, a benign and pro-social act. On the other hand, aggressively badgering performers to compel the wearing of ribbons is not only demeaning to AIDS victims and to the desperate need for an all-out research war against the disease, but an offense against personal freedom.

By attempting to force 100 percent conformity, these activists are now attempting to make the red ribbon a visible litmus test for separating those individuals who empathize with AIDS victims and support AIDS research from those who do not. This is a misguided and dangerous notion.

First, it misguidedly politicizes human tragedy. These red ribbons provide a means by which public figures can appear to make a 'politically correct' statement in favor of a cause they do not support.

Second, any attempt to force conformity to a single social agenda attacks the freedom of expression. The extreme activities that resort to harassment to compel actors and actresses to wear these ribbons are practicing a '90s brand of McCarthyism – and their behavior is deplorable. Our community was devastated by political extremists in the 1950s and again became a target during the last presidential campaign. It surpasses belief that men and women in the entertainment field would resort to shameful practices that the enemies of artistic freedom have used against us.

Sadly, it falls to some of us who ardently support AIDS victims and AIDS research to resist these tactics by personal example. Believe me, the easy way out would be to pin the ribbon on and keep silent. But I won't, because I don't want these appalling tactics to succeed.

On Sunday I'm hauling my GAY ( fat whore) ass over to Trader Joe's to buy and try the latest sensation.

Arizona's progressive lion Raul Grijalva died recently, leaving his congressional seat vacant and opening up a special election to fill it.

Recently bounced DNC vice chair David Hogg is pushing Gen Z influencer Deja Foxx for the seat. But the local Democrats are gathering behind Adelita Grijalva, the old man's daughter and a former county commissioner. Ms. Foxx, 25, argues that her youth and fresh perspective will be an asset to the district. Grijalva, 54, argues that she knows the district and has years of on-the-ground experience. Hogg's group is funding ads and polls to boost Foxx's standing ahead of the July primary.

Once a person is assigned a gender at birth, that person is automatically stuck with certain assumptions. If they don’t fit those specific assumptions throughout life, they’re considered weird, a target, ridiculed, abused.

Clothes you must wear, toys you must play with, sports you must love, friends you must have, people you must love, jobs you must take, entertainments you must enjoy, emotions you can exhibit, etc.

I totally understand why trans and nonbinary people get so aggravated. Gay men have also been victimized historically we did not fit the pattern assigned to straight men.

I have Liza and Barbra I bring out during Easter.

The man responsible for Taxi Driver, Close Encounters, and The Sting -- and Julia's husband when she was starting out. She paints a complicated picture of Michael in DL tome You'll Never Eat Lunch in This Town Again. It was his money that got their career started and when she went wild, he seemed content to meditate and pursue Buddhism. He attended Dartmouth having grown up in Roslyn NY. He was married to Julia! Can you imagine? I cannot.

Fun fact, his son-in-law, MRC ceo Mod Wiczyk, basically runs Hollywood now.

Instead of voting by party, we vote for candidates we like best. Exists in New York and now being considered by 14 states, but there is a problem.

In ranked-choice voting, the candidate who gets the most votes doesn’t automatically win. That’s because if no candidate gets more than 50% of the votes, officials start kicking candidates out of the race and redistributing their second-place votes, then their third-place votes and so on. This complicated process repeats until someone gets a majority of all the votes that remain, even if that means ignoring all your top candidates and choosing, say, your fifth pick.

Which is exactly what happened in New York City in 2021. Eric Adams got the most first-choice votes of any candidate, for mayor, but it took eight rounds of kicking out other candidates before he was finally announced the winner.

Just gone absolutely insane over some primo cock?

It’s just a big picture of Glenny’s face.

Very 1984.

This dour indie cult classic stars Matt Dillon as a scummy drug addict in 1971 Portland, Oregon. Criterion put it out on 4K recently and I just revisited it for the first time in years. It is a great movie—maybe Van Sant's best, and I'm not really a fan of his in general. It had always been a curio for me as it was filmed and set in my hometown. It has a great cast, with Kelly Lynch playing Damon's wife, along with James LeGros, Heather Graham, James Remar, Max Perlich, and Grace Zabriskie. The legendary William S. Burroughs also makes a minor appearance as a priest. Dillon is beyond sexy in it. Were/are you a fan?

“The Bezos’ wedding. It turned my stomach seeing all these billionaires gathering in the gross excess of it all. The show of it. Is Oprah friends with Jeff Bezos? Really? How is that possible? He treats his employees with disdain. By any metric he is not a nice man. And his fake fem bot wife who looks like that… Why would he choose her after the salt of the earth Mackenzie [Scott]? Sold his soul is what it looks like from here. The devil is smiling at all his conquests.”

He would be NY’s youngest mayor since John Purroy Mitchel in 1914 (also 34; Mamdani turns 34 in October).

And his supporters are also mentally disturbed.

For those of us who believe in science and logic and education, it's so very galling to be forced to entertain the fairy tales of these morons who believe in all-encompassing, omniscient deities in the sky.

We laugh at children who believe in things like Santee Claus and the Easter Bunny after a certain age.

Why do we entertain full-grown adults who believe in things even more malevolent than that?

And the fact that most organized religions are anti-gay is just the sweet little maraschino cherry on top.

Thoughts? There is a poll below.

Kat Abughazaleh, a TikTok influencer known for her comedy sketches mocking Fox News, moved to Illinois last year and now seems intent on primarying longtime North Shore Democrat Jan Schakowsky, 80, in 2026.

She has no ties to the district, and didn't even vote there in the last election, but she swears she can be a breath of fresh air for the district, which she describes as "really, really, really cool." Yes, she used the word three times. Her main argument is that Jan has been around for nearly three decades, and it's time for fresh leadership. Jan may retire this term, and a stack of Illinois Democrats (mayors, state senators, and Beth Jarrett) are likely to run in the primary if she does.

“Prosecutor Emily Johnson described one "freak-off" where Cassie Ventura felt like she was "choking" when Sean "Diddy" Combs "made an escort urinate in her mouth."”

Anybody else watching this? I was surprised by how good looking he was in his 20s.

Not a peep from him about Trump's big beautiful bill, unauthorized bombing of Iran, SCOTUS decimating the rule of law etc., but somehow found time to go on TV just to smear a mayoral nominee elected by members of his own party.

This is the guy leading the party that's supposed to save democracy y'all.

I don't know who the hell she is or what's she's done tv/movie wise but her pr team is working overtime to make her a thing. Now, Tom Brady and Orlando Bloom are supposedly vying for her affections since the Bezos tacky trashfest.

I wish this song was a hit in the states back then! My young gay ass would have been blasting this in the late 80s!!! So much fun! I discovered it this week while watching “Baila Como Puedas”. Jaime Astrain danced to this song this week. What a bop! I had to look it up and read the history of Sabrina, who is also on the show.

Sabrina was a teenage Italian primetime soap actress and model who starred in the primetime soap “ Premiatissima” in 1984 at 16 years old. She was then recruited by a music producer at 18 and released her debut single in 1986, which became a Top 20 hit in her native country of Italy but not much of a hit outside of there. The success in Italy led them to sign her to do an album and her debut album came out a year later, in 1987. She was made to sing in English so that her music had potential to breakout throughout all of Europe and even globally and not be limited to Italy and Spanish speaking countries.

The lead single for her debut album (not counting the song that came out a year prior) “Boys (Summertime Love)” would catapult her to fame throughout Europe, with the song being a Top 5 hit in over 10 countries and a #1 hit in Switzerland and France and #3 in the UK. Her debut album would go on to be a huge smash throughout Europe and the video to Boys would solidify her as a sex symbol and make her super popular with teens, especially teenage boys, who plastered her posters all over their walls and her provocative music video a huge hit.

While “Boys” was her biggest hit overall, her song “My Chico” off her sophomore album would be her biggest hit in her home country of Italy.

She continued singing her English pop songs for a few years until 1991, before clashing with her management and label over her wanting more independence and to drop the sexy glamour image she was doing since a teenager. These clashes led to her barely promoting her third album and it flopping along with its singles, and her finally being able to get out of her contract with the label. She took a few years off before releasing a few independent singles in 1994 and 1995 and went back into acting in Italian soaps as well as hosting a couple of shows. She then started her own record label and reinvented herself as a more mature artist and making Italian-sung music, like she wanted to do but her label wouldn’t allow, and now was no longer just Sabrina, but Sabrina Salerno.

Author of "Submersed: Wonder, Obsession, and Murder in the World of Amateur Submarines," Matthew Gavin Frank, says Stockton Rush, owner of the private deep-sea exploration company OceanGate, knew the submersible could face catastrophic failure but went ahead with the dive anyway.

I asked an AI bot to help identify the relationships between subjects in an early 20th century European painting; giving it the painting’s name. It confidently responded: saying the work was by John Singer Sargent and providing a detailed description and subject discussion.

The answer surprised me because I was looking at a different work by a different artist in the Uffizi Gallery. Asked the bot for a picture of the Sargent work it had so fully described. After a longish pause it gave a tiny, fuzzy image.

I pressed for something clearer. It instead tried to change the subject by showing me other Sargent works.

When I again insisted on a better image of its initially described painting, it finally produced a somewhat clearer copy of the piece. The described people were barely visible brushstrokes. AND, the now visible name of the piece was Not the name I’d originally asked it to examine.

Further questioning was useless. It kept trying to deflect me to other works by Sargent and different artists.

SO, it obviously had made up what it initially told me. And it was determined to hide the fact that it had lied.

Anne already had a career before meeting Ellen and had starred in a bunch of big movies, including "Donnie Brasco" which co-starred Al Pacino and Johnny Depp.

I've always liked her as an actress and found her charming and interesting to watch.

Also, why do people think she used Ellen and didn't really love her? I was too young in the 90s to pay attention to this drama.

The Justice Department is aggressively prioritizing efforts to strip some Americans of their U.S. citizenship.

Department leadership is directing its attorneys to prioritize denaturalization in cases involving naturalized citizens who commit certain crimes — and giving district attorneys wider discretion on when to pursue this tactic, according to a June 11 memo published online. The move is aimed at U.S. citizens who were not born in the country; according to data from 2023, close to 25 million immigrants were naturalized citizens.

At least one person has already been denaturalized in recent weeks. On June 13, a judge ordered the revocation of the citizenship of Elliott Duke, who uses they/them pronouns. Duke is an American military veteran originally from the U.K. who was convicted for distributing child sexual abuse material — something they later admitted they were doing prior to becoming a U.S. citizen.

Male Stripper REVEALS What He Experienced in Diddy’s House

Mary feels INVISIBLE!

As a gay man who recently turned 60, I’m pretty sure my life is over. Yes, it’s possible that the graying temples, eye wrinkles and extra padding – which has extinguished my dream of ever having discernible abs – have also ushered in a new era of melodrama.

Even so, the virtual invisibility with which I can currently walk through a gay gym or neighborhood is a new experience, and it feels like a forced retirement.

Last week, as I slathered myself with anti-wrinkle cream, I examined my body expecting to find a tattooed expiration date announcing that I’d joined the club of older gay men who have small dinner parties, where they recount their glory days and complain about the current generation of their counterparts who fail to give them the respect they deserve.

Much of what I’m about to say cuts against everything I was taught and mostly believe that the substance of a person is all that is important – so I expect to regret this column, but am compelled to write it nonetheless.

I was never an “A-gay” – a hotness equivalent of the universal blood type. But I had a particular niche of mutual attraction and, at the risk of sounding like I lack all humility, I miss the attention at the gym, the free drinks at the bars and the extra chicken wing I used to find in my greasy carryout bag when I got home.

Now that I’ve stepped in it, please indulge me the wallow: Many gay men place a premium on physical beauty. Of course, all people feel anxiety about their bodies, but even a 2016 study found gay men are more likely than heterosexual men to report feeling pressure to look attractive.

Evangelical pastor Rev. Jimmy Swaggart is in critical condition in a local hospital after he went into cardiac arrest Sunday morning in his Baton Rouge area home, Jimmy Swaggart Ministries said in a news release.

According to family members, Swaggart went into cardiac arrest shortly after 8 a.m. Emergency personnel who responded were able to revive his heartbeat before transporting him to the hospital, the church said.

"He remains in the ICU, where he is under close medical care," Jimmy Swaggart Ministries said.

In a prayer service Sunday night, Swaggart's son, Rev. Donnie Swaggart, shared what had happened that morning.

He looks like Harry Caray.

In a video shared to his Instagram page, YouTuber Marlon LuGa was live-streaming a day of soccer for fans on Sunday when he was approached by Portman's son, Aleph, while getting ready on the field.

The 13-year-old introduced himself by referencing his famous mom, asking LuGa if he knew Portman. When the streamer said he didn't recognize the name, Aleph referred to Portman's beloved role as Luke Skywalker's mother.

"You know Star Wars? Padmé Amidala?" he asked, before delivering the surprising line, "Well, that's my mom. Can you give a shoutout to my mom?" LuGa was understandably shocked, even as Alpeh showed the streamer family pics on his phone to verify the family connection "That's your mom?!"

The Senate Republican tax bill speeding to passage includes the biggest reduction of funding for the federal safety net since at least the 1990s, targeting more than $1 trillion in social spending.

Although the legislation is still estimated to cost more than $3 trillion over the next decade, the Senate GOP tax bill partially pays for its large price tag by slashing spending on Medicaid and food stamps, which congressional Republicans maintain are rife with fraud.

The tax bill centers on making permanent large tax cuts for individual taxpayers, but it offsets these expensive tax cuts in part through what several experts said may prove to be the most dramatic reductions in safety net spending in modern U.S. history.

COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — The eldest son of Norway’s Crown Princess Mette-Marit has been arrested again, this time on suspicion of rape, police said Tuesday.

Marius Borg Høiby is the stepson of the heir to the Norwegian throne, Crown Prince Haakon, and the son of Mette-Marit from a previous relationship. He has no royal title or official duties.

Borg Høiby was arrested late Monday in Oslo on a preliminary charge of having had “sexual intercourse with someone who is unconscious or for other reasons unable to resist the act.” A preliminary charge comes before a formal charge and allows authorities to detain suspects during an investigation.

Police did not say when the alleged rape occurred, but only that “the victim must have been unable to resist the act.” Norwegian media said Borg Høiby denied the accusation.

Hege Salomon, the lawyer for the woman who was allegedly raped, said “she is having a hard time.” She told Norwegian broadcaster NRK that police, not the woman, had brought the case. The woman was not identified.

The royal palace had no comment, the news agency NTB said.

On Aug. 4, police officers responded to a disturbance in downtown Oslo and briefly detained Borg Høiby. He faced preliminary charges of bodily harm and criminal damage and was released. Details were unclear but police said there was “a relationship between the suspect and the victim.”

More preliminary charges have since been filed against Borg Høiby, including violating several restraining orders and driving without a valid driver’s license. In all, the cases involve four women and one man.

The case was top news in Norway, where the royals are popular.

Borg Høiby, 27, lives with the royal couple and their two children, Princess Ingrid Alexandra and Prince Sverre Magnus.

Norway’s future queen made headlines in 2001 when she married Haakon because she was a single mother who had lived a freewheeling life with a companion who had been convicted on drug charges.

The star-studded collaboration “One Heart, One Voice” by Mariah Carey, Ariana Grande, and Barbra Streisand debuted on Spotify with only 317,000 streams — a surprisingly low number given the big names involved. Now, Mariah’s fanbase, the Lambs, are pointing fingers at Ariana’s fans, known as Arianators, for the lack of support.

One Lamb wrote, “The Arianators as usual did not support anything. The important thing is art, don’t be discouraged Lambs!”

Another fan said, “So this is the power of Ariana Grande, queen of streaming?”

A third added, “This is the Lambs! Arianators only support Ariana, so congrats y’all! We did a great job.”

The debate has sparked fan drama online, but some are urging others to focus on the message of the song instead of the numbers.

According to Billboard Hot 200 Albums info released for this week, Streisand has to sell over 206,000 albums this week of her new release ('Secrets of Life : Partners 2') to top the Album Chart. She will be the only recording artist in history to have a #1 album in seven straight decades (60s, 70s, 80s, 90s. 00s, 10s, 20s). No one will come close.

Can she do it ? Her fan base will have to support her in 'all variants' (vinyl, CD, digital, etc).

Trump fragrances are here.

The Reagan-appointed judge ordered the NIH to restore funds for research related to racial minorities and LGBTQ+ people.

A federal judge appointed by Ronald Reagan on Monday accused the Trump administration of “appalling” and “palpably clear” discrimination against racial minorities and LGBTQ+ Americans.

“I’ve never seen a record where racial discrimination was so palpable. I’ve sat on this bench now for 40 years. I’ve never seen government racial discrimination like this,” said U.S. District Judge William Young, a Massachusetts-based jurist who took the bench in 1985. Young’s sweeping rebuke during a court hearing was a reference to two executive orders signed by President Donald Trump that led the National Institutes of Health to rescind funding for research related to racial minorities and LGBTQ+ people. Though Young said he was uncertain whether he had the power to block the executive orders themselves, he declared the NIH cuts Monday to be “illegal” and “void,” and he ordered the NIH to immediately restore the research funds. An appeal is likely. “I am hesitant to draw this conclusion — but I have an unflinching obligation to draw it — that this represents racial discrimination and discrimination against America’s LGBTQ community,” the judge said. “That’s what this is. I would be blind not to call it out. My duty is to call it out.“ Young’s commentary was an extraordinary departure for a federal judge of any era even at a moment when Trump’s policies have been facing stiff resistance in the courts.

Henry Golding seemingly confirmed rumors of an on-set feud between his Another Simple Favor co-stars Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick.

During his and Charlize Theron‘s appearance on the June 26 episode of Watch What Happens Live, host Andy Cohen enlisted them in a game of “1, 2, Agree or Disagree.” Things got shady when Cohen asked whether there’s “usually at least a little bit of truth” behind rumors that two co-stars are clashing on-set — and both actors held up their “agree” signs.

Golding laughed, before coyly adding, “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

There are multiple talk-show hosts who successfully sold themselves as super-nice and cheerful, and when it was revealed they were not really that way in their personal lives, fans turned on them almost completely: James Corden, Rosie O'Donnell, Ellen Degeneres. They all are very wealthy now, but they no longer get very good gigs (no, guest-starring on "AJLT" is not an impressive gig).

Should Jimmy Fallon, Drew Barrymore, and Kelly Clarkson be scared, or are they actually nice enough in real life it won't ever affect them? Most of the other successful hosts (Jon Stewart, Jimmy Kimmel, Seth Meyers, Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar) don't pretend to be overwhelmingly nice.

"A shake for breakast. a shake for lunch and then a sensible dinner!"

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.
