Billionaire and serial sexual harasser Steve Wynn has a gay stepson named Nick Hissom. Hissom has hooked up with OnlyFans star Reno Gold and Steve is reportedly not happy. Frankly, I often wondered about Wynn because of his love of musical theater.

RIP!

I know this is a perennial topic on DL.

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

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

Kyle or Fen might show you around the locker rooms.

But this summer there's no Summer......(thankfully).

Let me tell you about my Go Fud Me page and the Davissh-Sterling Pre-Lien Letter Act Law.

I hope this is not the las The View Thread...

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I’m not sure what to think of this. I’m sure the hair and outfit is for a period role but he looks so thin. Is he playing a feminine man or non binary person?

Indiewire quote in “After the Hunt” spot referenced Guadagnino’s support of Armie Hammer, not the actual movie. Indiewire gave the movie a bad review.

I'm just curious.

Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), my ass.

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

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

They have him on Lisdexamfetamine (speed) and Ritalin and are using his MAGA popularity to run their coup.

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

She looks younger than ever!

But is getting some treatments.

I was reading something about porn star Paul Thomas and people kept mentioning that he appeared in gay loops back in the 70s. What are gay loops?

Carry on, bitches!

How childish.

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

BrendaD is broke and homeless and looking for handouts. Won’t you please donate to her GoFudMe today? She was forced to sleep outside in the freezing cold 70 degree California whether last week. The Bells want her dead. Help her fight this injustice!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The irony of My Fat Daughter finding someone else histrionic is lost on her.

My Fat Daughter has been acting even more unhinged and melodramatic since her dat husband inseminated her during her rutting season.

Is My Fat Daughter experiencing some sort of pregnancy related psychosis, brought on by excess processed food? Is RFK investigating?

I hate this freak so much. Number one, she was always the worst part about "Curb." Number two, she's sticking by her brain-worm infested husband who she insists knows the facts about every decision he makes.

And I'm only 45 and in good shape. Eldergays, make sure you have the next day free to recover. I slept for FOURTEEN hours and still feel achy and have a bad, lingering headache. But, I'd 100% go through the temporary discomfort to protect my health!

I got the Pfizer shot on Wednesday. I was shocked I was able to get it at CVS since I'm in God forsaken Florida and both Trump and Rhonda are doing everything in their power to make it harder for us to gain access. But, they didn't require a prescription, I just had to state what pre-existing condition I had, just like before.

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

And I’m suooosed to fly on Friday — first time I’ve flown in six years. Lol

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

What does this mean for Mamdani?

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

We’re thinking Costa Rica or maybe London.

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

Rachel Sennott wrote and stars in her own series for HBO.

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

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

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

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

Meanwhile Professor Barnes is still looking fabulous at 76. I guess Tricia is actually a genuinely good woman. But their good luck clearly isn't passing on to Benny. Because Skeletor however. . . .

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

"I want the fans and public to hear directly from me that, unfortunately, I will need to postpone my upcoming Las Vegas concerts. As many of you know, I have been dealing with some health challenges, and my doctors tell me that I must have a few procedures. As I joked with them, it must be time for my 100,000-mile check-up, although it's not the usual trip to see my plastic surgeon! In all seriousness, given this, I am not going to be able to rehearse and put together the show that I want you to see, and the show that you deserve to see. You pay good money to see me perform, and I want to be at my best for you.

While I'll still be able to work on all of my projects from here in Nashville, I just need a little time to get show ready, as they say. And don't worry about me quittin' the business because God hasn't said anything about stopping yet. But, I believe He is telling me to slow down right now so l can be ready for more big adventures with all of you. I love you and thank you for understanding."

Seriously? Wtf are 1000 people doing there at one time?

Wingnuts already trying to say he was a Biden supporter. By one report he called in the 911.

They all have terrible acting, erratic camera work and obvious dubbing.

I’m 59. I have zero energy after 1pm. It’s gotten so bad in 2025. Living through the dump years feels like jail in so many ways. I notice people behaving awfully when I’m out. It’s hard to shake. I’d love to travel but now seems a bad time. I’m starting to feel like this will never change. That I still won’t trust planes, people, anything …even after dump is out.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

So much female talent in one photo.

So different from raddled old Kate Middleton.

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

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

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

A record of opposition

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

God bless our beloved President!

Continue talking about shows with gay male characters

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

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

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

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

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

Then he went into porn.

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

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

Everybody still hates Bronwyn.

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

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

It is a dark time for the very heterosexual city of Los Angeles, in which Hobo Ridge and his wrinkled face somehow still captivates both The Slut from the Valley and yet another recast of his other ho, NuTaylor of Cameltoe. Meanwhile, in LA's sole restaurant, Ill Giordino, vile, despicable mistress of evil, Sheila Carter, makes pizza while bonding with her granddaughter, two-time murderer Luna of the Enormous Panties. Wafting throughout the city is the rank odor of Daphne, a perfume expert who can be smelled twenty miles away, making it impossible for her to eavesdrop on nearby conversations. All are looking for one thing that may heal their galaxy: the cure to Zende's explosion from twink to obese, hoping to stop his expanding girth before he outgrows blouses and transitions into caftans--and possibly blocks out the LA sun. Continue the adventure here, where Liam may be dying, Dollar Bill needs pants that don't give him a muffin top, where Hope is hopeless, and JKW wins another Daytime Emmy just for showing up to work in a bad mood. . .

The late, great Carole Lombard died in a plane crash coming home from a war bonds rally. A month later, Lombard's last film, "To Be or Not to Be" was released. This satire about a group of Polish theatrical actors fighting the Nazis is both smart and hilarious. Carole Lombard and Jack Benny make a great team, directed by Ernst Lubitsch. Here's my look at Lombard's fine finale:

DL's AMBIGUOUSLY GAY DUO CALL IT QUITS AFTER 7 YEARS . Despite Kevitch's best efforts inching at coming out. His last trip to London had him posting about him "looking forward to your big announcement" from his partner that never came. He-Man's career won out. Austin has moved out of their Santa Monica home of four years. Kevitch is homeless and Galitzine is in a deep dark closet with his faghag. THE CLOSET WINS. Sad.

Darrin #2, played by actor Dick Sargent, was Elizabeth Montgomery’s first choice for the role.

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

With Labelle! And Mac Davis!

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

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

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

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

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

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

So what should you do?

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

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

Maybe it’s just a Southern thing to ask for prayers or maybe it’s much more serious than they’ve been letting on. Dolly is 80 and her hubby of 50 years recently died. Couples together that long usually croak pretty close together. All the stress.

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

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

Anybody else get oddly entertained by these?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

A majority of the Supreme Court signaled Tuesday it is prepared to rule against Colorado’s ban on “conversion therapy” for minors, with several justices signaling they agree with a licensed counselor in the state who says the law violates her First Amendment rights.

In one of the most significant cases the high court will address this year, the justices were asked to decide if states may ban the discredited practice, which purports to “convert” gay people to heterosexuality or transgender people to cisgender. Roughly half of US states have banned the therapy for minors, Colorado officials told the Supreme Court.

During a relatively low-key and short 90-minute session, several justices appeared to reject the idea the state can regulate “talk therapy” the same way it may regulate medical conduct.

Chief Justice John Roberts pointed to prior Supreme Court decisions in which the court declined to carve out a different First Amendment approach to professional speech.

“Just because they’re engaged in conduct doesn’t mean that their words aren’t protected,” Roberts said.

Kaley Chiles, a licensed counselor in Colorado, has challenged the law on those grounds. Her “faith-informed counseling” would be “speech only” and she says her clients would voluntarily seek her services. She rejects the term “conversion therapy” and instead describes the work she hopes to do as helping clients who “have a goal to become comfortable and at peace” with their body.

Federal prosecutors are full steam ahead to lock up Diddy ... asking a judge to sentence him to more than 11 years in prison following his conviction on prostitution-related charges.

Judge Arun Subramanian is set to hand down Diddy's sentence on Friday in NYC.

The hip-hop mogul is currently facing a max of 20 years in prison after being found guilty on two counts of transporting male prostitutes across state lines ... where they engaged in "freak-offs" that became a centerpiece of his criminal trial.

Holy shit. But a lot of these people were old anyways.

DL has been on this one for years. Will this have any impact on his career, or the eventual assessment of his career?

Charlie Sheen is fully opening up about his past in two upcoming new projects — his memoir The Book of Sheen (Sept. 9) and the Netflix documentary aka Charlie Sheen (Sept. 10) — and in both, he gets candid about past sexual experiences with men.

"I flipped the menu over," he says in the Netflix doc and the book, of trying something new after years of having sex with women. He says he's no longer hiding from his past, but owning it. "I'm not going to run from my past, or let it own me," he tells PEOPLE in this week's cover story.

In the documentary when the interviewer asks Sheen how it feels to be talking publicly for the first time about having sex with men, he says, "Liberating. It's f---ing liberating... [to] just talk about stuff. It's like a train didn't come through the side of the restaurant. A f---ing piano didn't fall out of the sky. No one ran into the room and shot me."

I thought DL would like this

In a TikTok video after Kirk’s assassination, Hagan described the conservative political activist as a “vile human being,” and “bigot and a racist” who “spread hate” against Black people and members of the LGBTQ+ community.

This Norwegian guy might be one of the best soccer players in the world right now, but the media is having the hardest time making him into a sex symbol because he's so odd looking.

He looks like DL favorite Meredith Talusan trying out yet another gender identity.

I didn't know she was still around but she put out this good BI:

Our guy has been lying low recently – and for good reason. He’s straight and has romanced some of the world’s sexiest women. (not famous ones, but beauties no less) He happens to be submissive in the sack, and likes his female partners to take control and use an array of sex toys on him. His previous girlfriends all seemed to know how to do this, but the woman he’s currently dating isn’t as skilled, and our guy wound up with a very painful rupture and needed emergency surgery. Going to the bathroom was excruciating, so he had a temporary colostomy bag surgically inserted until he’s healed. That’s the REAL reason he was a no show at a recent Hollywood publicity event where he was scheduled to be the main attraction and bowed out – claiming there was a “scheduling conflict.”

GUESS WHO!!

Every guy dancing at the swingin' beach party is GAY, GAY, GAY.

I'm in a cheesy sci-fi B movie mood today.

We know Gavin Newsom, AOC, Pete Buttigieg, and Josh Shapiro have zero chance of becoming the 2028 Dem nominee. Gretchen Whitmer has screwed up her chances.

Are there any possible dark horses?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Both are victims and aggressors.

Anyway, rant over. Do you agree or disagree?

Who can explain the eternal passionate attraction between these two types (NSFW)?

I have no idea who this chick is. Will I listen to her music or follow her career? Probably not. Do I like the song, "Revolving Door?" Meh.. It's basically the Pussy Cat Dolls's "Buttons." But I do know her name now. And I commend her for the sheer bravery it takes to pull off a performance like this that could have been career ending (especially in this day and age) if one thing had gone wrong. If nothing else, this took a lot of hard work and guts to accomplish and I appreciate the pure spectacle of it all.

VMA performances serve two purposes. Either they launch an already established star into the entertainment stratosphere - like Madonna's Marie Antoinette "Vogue" Performance or Britney's snake charmer "Slave 4 U." Or they serve to announce and "Unknown" to the world - like Alanis Morrisettes' "You Outta Know." This was Tate McRae's announcement to the world. Good on her for understanding what needed to be done and putting in the work.

Sure, Sammy, sure….

Conservative Justice Samuel Alito on Friday said he is not seeking to overturn the Supreme Court ruling that legalized same-sex marriage even as a case is pending asking the justices to do just that. Alito made his remarks on the landmark Obergefell v. Hodges ruling, in which he dissented, as an aside in a speech at an academic conference in Washington in which he outlined his judicial philosophy. “In commenting on Obergefell, I am not suggesting that the decision in that case should be overruled,” he said before repeating his criticisms of the decision. In the decade since Obergefell was decided, Alito has continued to air his views of the majority’s reasoning that the Constitution’s 14th Amendment prohibits state bans on same-sex marriage.

During that period, the Supreme Court has shifted further to the right following the retirement of Justice Anthony Kennedy, who authored the ruling.

Alito wrote the Supreme Court’s 2022 ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization that rolled back abortion rights. That decision sparked concerns that the conservative majority might also overturn other precedents, including Obergefell.

But as Alito pointed out on Friday, he wrote in the abortion case that the ruling did not mean that other key decisions — including Obergefell — were in the firing line.

44 years ago today, Donna Summer's double LP for Geffen Records was on the calendar to be released, one year after her Platinum selling Geffen debut album 'The Wanderer' was released (peaking at #13). After exploring 'rock and new wave' with long-time producers Giorgio Moroder and Pete Bellotte on 'The Wanderer' (to critical raves), she returned to her disco roots and ballads with this follow-up project with Moroder and Bellotte producing once again.

They returned to the studio in March, 1981, just a few months after giving birth to her second daughter Brooklyn. Geffen told the trio they had six months to deliver the project, as it had an October 5 release date attached to it. They promised him a double LP - something Summer had no problem selling to her fans, as her last three double LPs went to #1. Summer later admitted she was suffering from PPD after the birth of her child, and there were some days early on where she couldn't leave the house and head to the recording studio (she, along with Moroder and Bellotte wrote most of the 18 tracks). But things got better for her and recording continued through July. By early August, all 18 tracks were done, and it was time to edit and polish up the tracks for the final product. A name for the album hadn't been chosen yet, though Summer was leaning towards 'I'm A Rainbow', one of her favorite tracks on the album (though it wasn't considered for a 'single' release). The track 'Romeo' was the frontrunner as the first single, to be released in early September, 1981.

Around that time (early August), Geffen went to the studio to check on their progress. They played the 'rough cuts' of the tracks for him, and hated every one. He didn't think there was a single Top 10 hit on the whole album, and shut production down. He ended up shelving the album rather than release it in October as planned. He decided Summer needed a new sound for her next album, wanted her to return to 'rock and R&B' and stay away from disco. He fired Moroder and Bellotte, hired Quincy Jones and asked him to produce an album similar to what he did with Michael Jackson's 'Off The Wall' two years earlier. The album finally got released - in it's 'unfinished rough tracks' by Polygram Records in August, 1996. It was a hit with her loyal fans.

Summer went back to the studio with Jones in December 1981 and worked on the album through April, 1982 while pregnant with her third daughter Amanda. The result was 'Donna Summer', released in July,1982 just a few weeks before giving birth (Summer did little promotion before the release, blaming her difficult pregnancy). The album spun off one top 10 single, and then peaked at #20 on the Hot 200 Albums Chart, disappointing Geffen. Years later, Summer said she didn't have an enjoyable experience working with Jones, and she felt like she was just lending her vocals to a QJ album - not recording an album of her own.

For decades, there has been a 'war' among fans - whether the original 'I'm A Rainbow' is better than its replacement 'Donna Summer'. The results have been split - many love her return to disco, while others love the distinctive R&B Quincy sound on the other album instead.

What does the DL think ?

So touching to see solidarity in such decisive times, between the quintessential genocidal state of the 20th century and the quintessential genocidal state of 21st century.

I didn’t really perceive it when he lived alone. His apartment was a dump with horrible furniture, etc., but I didn’t really see huge piles of crap to the ceiling.

But since we moved in together, it has gotten out of control. He packed all his stuff in one room in our 3 room apartment. He did weird stuff like hoard chemicals and cleaners that belonged under the sink in the kitchen. It is like he thinks I am going to steal a bottle of windex from him. He has dozens of bottles of floor wax, etc. on every surface.

Then he discovered Tupperware boxes which he fills with junk and crap and has towers of these fucking boxes which don’t really fit properly in the chaotic landscape in front of his bookshelves.

It is like we don’t live together and he is trying to keep me from stealing his paper towels.

Absolutely everything is covered in thick dust.

He lets his garbage can fill up and run onto the floor, and when I try to empty the trash, he gets very upset saying I could throw out something he wants accidentally. Then why the hell is he storing things he wants in a garbage can???

Yes, he is mentally ill. He has been diagnosed with depression and ADHD. I tend to think of those things as bullshit. Every adult is depressed to some degree and you should try to snap out of ADHD.

He insists on having the cat’s litter box in the middle of his room and won’t let me move it out of his room. The litter clumps, so he puts the daily clumps in ziplock bags that he carries out about 1-2 a week. The smell is so awful I can taste it, but it doesn’t bother him a bit.

Anyway, we don’t want to go on a TV show like hoarders.

He doesn’t even bring his dirty dishes out of his room to the kitchen after he has finished eating off them.

He says that someday he will do something about it, but right now, he has duplicates and triplicates of some objects and he can’t lay them out somewhere to see them.

This is never going to get better, is it? I am not a hoarder at all.

Make a wish superstitious cunts.

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

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

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

'Getting Naked' is a candid account of Bertinelli's perspective on insecurity, vulnerability and growing older. "It’s never too late to make peace with yourself," a synopsis promises.

Getting Naked addresses Bertinelli's "insecurities that have haunted her for decades," including body image issues and a persistent need to be perfect — insecurities that a wide range of women can identify with, per the book's synopsis. "It’s about the myths we believe when we’re young — about beauty, love, success — and how we carry them until they break us open," the synopsis reads. "It’s about unlearning the script that says women must please, endure and stay silent."

Bertinelli tells PEOPLE she's thrilled for her new memoir to come out — and a tad nervous. “I’m excited if not a little nervous because this book is almost uncomfortably personal," Bertinelli tells PEOPLE. "I’m hoping it reaches the right people so that they can see themselves in it and know that there’s a way through all the challenges we have in our life.”

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has summoned the military's top officers — hundreds of generals and admirals — to a base in northern Virginia for a sudden meeting next week, according to three people familiar with the matter.

The directive did not offer a reason for the gathering next Tuesday of senior commanders of the one-star rank or higher and their top advisers at the Marine Corps base in Quantico. The people, who described the move as unusual, were not authorized to publicly discuss the sensitive plans and spoke Thursday on condition of anonymity.

The Pentagon's top spokesman, Sean Parnell, confirmed that Hegseth "will be addressing his senior military leaders early next week.”

The authorities continue to implement new rules to spoil our fun:

On April 18th, the government of Nepal registered an “Integrated Tourism Bill” in Nepal’s upper house of Parliament, mandating that any climber wishing to hike Mount Everest must show valid proof that they have experience previously scaling a 22,965-foot (7,000-meter) mountain, or they will be prohibited from climbing the world’s tallest mountain peak.

In addition, the new bill also includes bans on solo expeditions, mandating that solo climbers will no longer be permitted to climb Mount Everest alone, and that one guide be assigned for every two climbers on peaks taller than 26,000 feet (8,000 meters), which includes Mount Everest, Annapurna, and K2, the second-tallest mountain in the world.

All climbers are also mandated to carry advanced satellite tracking devices during their ascent, so teams on the ground can track their movements in real time, and will also be able to monitor their vital signs, such as the climber’s heart rate, blood oxygen levels, and body temperature, transmitting the critical data to Base Camp and rescue teams through satellite signals, alerting those on the ground of emergencies involving climbers.

I saw so many French movies at the cinema since the late 90s to late 10s, often seeing a film based on the director or actor and knowing very little about the film. Anything with Juliette Binoche, Marion Cotillard, Audrey Tautou, Isabelle Huppert,

With the exception of Elle and Anatomy Of A Fall I can't think of any French films that have crossed over in the way they regularly were 20 years ago or even 10 years ago. Emelia Perez is technically French but let's not talk about that aberration.

Miami Mayor Francis Suarez has a message for New Yorkers – expect dark days ahead if you elect socialist Zohran Mamdani your next mayor.

Suarez – whose parents escaped Cuba as young refugee children in the early 1960s during Fidel Castro’s communist dictatorship – compared Mamdani to a young Castro during an interview with The Post Friday.

He also said he’s “genuinely worried” about NYC residents heading into the Nov. 4 mayoral election, which the Democratic nominee Mamdani is favored to win.

Miami Mayor Francis Suarez has a message for New Yorkers – expect dark days ahead if you elect socialist Zohran Mamdani your next mayor, and he compared him to a young Fidel Castro while speaking to The Pos

"New York City is going down a very dark path, and it’s sad,” said Suaraz, the son of Miami’s first Cuban-born mayor, Xavier Suarez.

“There’s some people that say — and I am not one of them — that maybe [electing a socialist mayor in NYC] is best for America in a backwards way because, once you see the abject failure that it will be, there will be a correction and a reset. But I don’t want people to suffer for that to happen.”

The Republican said New Yorkers “should be terrified” of socialism and communism — not embrace it

“My parents fled [Cuba] . . . because a young charismatic leader said ‘Give us all your property, give us all your businesses, and don’t worry, we’ll make everybody equal.’ And he did,” said Suarez.

“He made everybody equally poor, equally miserable, and equally repressed. And that’s all that communism has delivered throughout the history of humanity.”

An inferno ripped through the waterfront home of a South Carolina judge and her Democratic ex-senator husband on Saturday, leaving three people hospitalized, according to authorities and reports.

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

A case of the flesh-eating screwworm parasite has been identified in a person in Maryland who had traveled to the United States from Guatemala, according to four sources familiar with the situation.

The person, who received treatment in Maryland, is the first new confirmed case this year in the U.S. of New World screwworm, a parasite that eats cattle and other warm-blooded animals alive, as an outbreak escalates and moves northward from Central America and southern Mexico.

Screwworms are parasitic flies whose females lay eggs in wounds on any warm-blooded animal. Once the eggs hatch, hundreds of screwworm larvae use their sharp mouths to burrow through living flesh, eventually killing their host if left untreated.

Good movie but the ending doesn't make any sense. A game like that would cost millions of dollars. How can Sean Penn's character who is a loser, give his wealthy brother such an expensive gift? Even if his brother pays for half, it's still too much money. The game is also too complex to pull off. I loved the style of the movie and the actors but the conclusion isn't possible.

Findagrave is a site mainly used by genealogists to find or record family graves.

I think that verbal abuse takes the cake.

People who constantly, and even occasionally, put their partner down, aren’t going to make it work in the long haul.

Because I grew up with an abusive mother, I fell into that trap, & have done this. It’s NOT good, & I’ve made a commitment to NEVER do that again with anyone in the future.

Slights, put downs, gaslighting, attempting to put a partner down in order to gain leverage isn’t cool. It sucks, & will tear shit down as quickly as going to physical blows against a partner.

Partners should encourage each other 100%.

In healthy relationships, there shouldn’t be any wiggle room regarding this. Partners should use their words carefully, when expressing disagreement or disappointment.

Treating a partner well, even when angry, is a BIG deal.

Sometimes we fail to recognize this, even after it’s too late.

.......in an interview from 25 years ago. These are just excerpts, but I've linked the whole interview. Overall, Vanessa comes across as smug and shameless. ========================================

"Oh, you can't ask me for such a thing!" She protests, stiff, her huge green eyes of wisdom, her smile suddenly frozen. – "There is nothing and no one that can cause us a problem right now. No one can take it away from me." This is Vanessa Paradis' first interview since the "scandal" of Depp's breakup with supermodel Kate Moss, her union with Paradis and the birth of their daughter in May last year. Until we ventured into touching on the delicate subject "Moss", everything was going wonderfully.

When it was reported that Vanessa had "stolen" Johnny from his girlfriend of four years, causing the supermodel to be admitted to an exclusive London clinic, suffering from "stress and anxiety", Paradis managed to alienate legions of adoring Depp fans. She also angered Moss supporters, who branded her as a scarlet woman and seen as a brazen traitor to her sex.

Three months after meeting Johnny, Vanessa was pregnant. Then she gave birth to the angelic Lily-Rose Melody Depp last year, the father declared himself enchanted with the mother and daughter. But what the tabloid reports claimed was that while Vanessa was carrying Lily-Rose, he had been seen in London having dinner with Moss? Isn't Paradis nervous about the rumors, because of her history, because of her form? She shrugs her tiny shoulders and says boldly, "I'm glad he had a lot of girlfriends. You know, it's hard for me to answer that, except to say that there's the person that everybody sees, and then there's the Johnny that I see, that nobody else sees, and that's the person that matters to me. Whenever some paparazzi take a picture of him with a girl, when he's just saying "Hi" to her, then he's supposedly with her. Well, that doesn't matter to me. I know who he is, and I know what we have, and I'm safe with that. I know him and I know us. And nothing anyone can say can change what I know of the truth."

Just a month before Lily-Rose's birth, there were suggestions in the press that Depp was saying 'Hi' to his The Legend of the Headless Horseman co-star Christina Ricci, then 18, celebrating in a London bar ('They were all over each other like a rash,'" one viewer said; 'It was disgusting, he was being terribly indiscreet,' said another). Vanessa, however, takes the attitude that you can't believe everything you read in the newspapers. Then Is Johnny still friends with Kate? "Oh, my God, I can't answer that! You have to ask him. I don't even know her. I never met her."

Since the breakup, Moss has had a few public relationships, including a romance with Jesse Wood. Recently, though, she apparently confessed to a friend that she thinks she'll never get over Depp, the man she described as her "soulmate." Asked if she feels guilty for Moss, Paradis looks down quickly and says, "Next question please."

With ironic knowledge or unfamiliarity, she chose for our date, the Chateau Marmont, the Sunset Strip hotel, where Depp spent much of his time during his romance with Moss. It's a stone's throw from actor's nightclub The Viper Room, which, in 1993, was the scene of the death of Depp's friend, River Phoenix, from a mixture of cocaine and heroin. The club was also the scene of many of the wildest parties thrown by Depp and Kate Moss. "I highly doubt Vanessa would have chosen this hotel if she had known that Johnny once said that he and Kate had probably made love in every room there," a friend commented mischievously. "It was their place. But, hey, people change, don't they?"

Author of the sexy Rutshire Chronicles finds her heavenly reward

Anybody watching this shitshow right now? He's doing his monologue and trying to make jokes about Charlie Kirk and Dump, some are kind of okay, but I'm curious to see where he's gonna go with this.

Sorry, did a search. Did not see a thread.

There are actors where the first time I saw them in roles of significance, I ran to IMDb to check their names. Some people are simply talented.

However.

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

I don't get network news at home. I'm in a hotel on business and decided to see how the morning news is covering recent events. Holy shit! I don't know what I was expecting. Maybe a shred of news. Nothing. CBS Mornings just three hosts yucking it up over sports promos and other celebrity dreck. I get it. It's the CBS Morning News. Isn't Gayle ashamed? I am ashamed of her. Oh wait. Now a Cuomo commercial that is a failed SNL sketch. No wonder the end is coming.

The FBI director "summarily dismissed" a new agent trainee at the FBI academy in Quantico, Virginia, who displayed a pride flag at his previous work area, according to several sources familiar with the matter and a copy of a letter from Director Kash Patel reviewed by ABC News. The trainee worked at the FBI's Los Angeles field office for more than a decade in a non-agent capacity and more recently went into training to become an agent, sources said.

In a letter to the trainee on Wednesday, which was reviewed by ABC News, Patel wrote: "This document provides official notice that you are being summarily dismissed from your position as a New Agent Trainee at the FBI Academy in Quantico, Virginia, and removed from the federal service, under my authority as the FBI Director, effective immediately." "After reviewing the facts and circumstances and considering your probationary status, I have determined you exercised poor judgment with an inappropriate display of political signage in your work area during your previous assignment at the Los Angeles Field Office. Pursuant to Article II of the United States Constitution and the laws of the United States, your employment with the Federal Bureau of Investigation is hereby terminated," Patel added.

These are the leaders to the opposition party and they are showing up to a gunfight with plastic ware.

They think they can have a nice meeting with Trump about the government shutdown and a strongly worded letter will make it all go away.

Tyrese Gibson's legal trouble, tied to an incident involving his dogs, continues.

The actor, 46, turned himself in to police and was arrested on Friday, Oct. 3, after his four mastiff dogs allegedly mauled his neighbor’s pet to death weeks earlier.

Gibson was booked at the Fulton County Jail in Georgia and was charged with one count of cruelty to animals, according to online records. He was previously given a deadline to turn himself in to authorities, who issued an arrest warrant, but he had failed to do so.

On Friday, August 15th, around 5:05 pm, Officer Patrick Trainor took a report of a fight that occurred at the Main Street bus stop. The victim reported to Officer Trainor that while he was sitting at the bus stop, an unknown man, later identified as Mr. David Bottom, approached him and several other individuals, and began yelling at them. Mr. Bottom was also reportedly yelling at a woman who was nearby. The victim told Mr. Bottom stop yelling at the group, which is when he approached the victim and began assaulting him on the head. The victim attempted to defend himself, however, Mr. Bottom ran after him and struck him several more times, causing the victim to fall to the pavement. While on the pavement, Mr. Bottom continued to punch the victim numerous other times. The victim would eventually be transported to UMASS Webster for injuries sustained from the assault.

After speaking with the victim, Officer Trainor and Officer Spencer Donovan proceeded to the bus stop to locate Mr. Bottom. Officer Trainor was able to speak with a business owner in the area who had CCTV camera footage of the incident. Upon reviewing the footage, Officer Trainor was able to corroborate what the victim reported and even saw Mr. Bottom kicking the victim while wearing a shoe. After viewing the security footage, Officers located Mr. Bottom and placed him under arrest.

During the booking process, Mr. Bottom was very uncooperative and, at one point, purposely urinated all over the cell block floor. Mr. David Bottom, 43, of Hill Street, Webster, was arrested for:

• A&B with a Dangerous Weapon • Assault and Battery • Disorderly Conduct • Disturbing the Peace • Vandalize Property All suspects are presumed innocent until proven guilty in the court of law.

My spouse lately has been loving to revisit an embarrassing story about me when we are out together. He finds it hilarious. I laughed it off the first couple of times but it’s honestly not that funny or as big of a deal he’s making it to be. Now we are supposed to go to a family event this weekend and he told me he can’t wait to tell his brother. Ugh!

Sure, a person who isn’t a drug dealer might take an extra 10-20 years in order to cash out big time, however, I find it way more feasible, than risking federal jail time, for dealing hardcore drugs, and:/or whatever.

Drug dealers are impatient. This is why they get caught.

They’re not as smart as they believe they are, and there’s zero reason to glorify them.

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

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

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

A young Southern comedian has created a character who seems like a mashup of DL's legendary Cheryl and Bonnie Mace, a hard-drinking, hard-smoking woman in her 60s with a high libido and an endless number of grievances against her MAGA neighbors.

She is singlehandedly reviving the lost art of prank calls.

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

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

Hopefully he is in the works.

These authoritarian countries are considered world powers and yet they contribute absolutely nothing at all to modern culture, art, medicine, technology, music, dance, cinema, literature, science. Nothing. Zilch. Nada. Not the 21st century and probably not the 20th either.

In China's case, it must be galling to be completely culturally overshadowed by the Japanese and Koreans.

And nobody anywhere ever envies Russia.

Who would ever want to live in a world controlled by them?

CAPE CORAL, Fla. — Former Republican North Carolina Congressman Madison Cawthorn was arrested Wednesday on an out-of-county warrant for failing to show up in court.

Cawthorn was scheduled to appear in court for an arraignment in Collier County. He was cited by Naples Police for driving without a valid license on Aug. 19.

According to the Collier County Clerk of Courts, a warrant was issued Wednesday morning after Cawthorn failed to show up to the arraignment scheduled for 8:30 a.m.

Cawthorn has been living in Cape Coral, and he was released on a $2,000 bond, according to the Lee County Sheriff's Office.

A statement was shared with Gulf Coast News from Cawthorn:

"Former Congressman, Madison Cawthorn, was arrested earlier today for failure to appear for a routine traffic infraction. Madison keeps a very busy schedule and, due to a scheduling misunderstanding, did not appear in court this morning. Following processing Madison was immediately released."

According to Cawthorn, police knocked on his door and arrested him at his home.

After losing his election in 2022 in North Carolina, Cawthorn has been rumored to be running for Congress in Florida's District 19.

Previously, Cawthorn was involved in a crash along Alligator Alley in Collier County in 2024 where the report stated he slammed into the back of a Florida State Trooper vehicle.

Yikes.

On Tuesday, Trump summoned the country’s top military commanders to a meeting in Virginia. Addressing the top military brass, Trump, sounding drained, touted his alleged successes and lauded the US bombing of an Iran nuclear facility – something which may have violated international law – before saying:

“America is respected again as a country. We were not respected with Biden. They looked at him falling down stairs every day. Every day, the guy’s falling down stairs.”

Trump continued: “I said: ‘It’s not our president. We can’t have it.’ I’m very careful, you know, when I walk downstairs for – like I’m on stairs, like these stairs, I’m very – I walk very slowly. Nobody has to set a record, just try not to fall because it doesn’t work out well. A few of our presidents have fallen and it became a part of their legacy.

“We don’t want that. Need to walk nice and easy. You not have – you don’t have to set any record. Be cool, be cool when you walk down, but don’t, don’t bop down the stairs. That’s the one thing with Obama, I had zero respect for him as a president, but he would bop down those stairs, I’ve never seen – da da da da da da, bop, bop, bop, he’d go down the stairs, wouldn’t hold on. I said, it’s great, I don’t want to do it. I guess I could do it, but eventually bad things are going to happen and it only takes once, but he did a lousy job as president.”

This is a fun Facebook account......some of it is literal TV listings but it's fun to see some of the ads or shows listed.

Job cuts could surpass more than 1 million in 2025, the group forecast. The layoffs this year, although elevated, remain well below the massive workforce reductions in 2020, when the pandemic shuttered businesses across the nation, leading to 2 million layoffs through September of that year, Challenger noted.

The rise in layoffs comes as the labor market has stalled in recent months, with employers also sharply scaling back their hiring plans, according to labor data. Companies now expect to bring on 58% fewer workers for the rest of the year compared with their projections a year ago, the firm found.

"Previous periods with this many job cuts occurred either during recessions or, as was the case in 2005 and 2006, during the first wave of automations that cost jobs in manufacturing and technology," said Andy Challenger, senior vice president and labor expert for Challenger, Gray & Christmas, in a statement.

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

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

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

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

Ive loved this movie since before I can remember. Id hold my tape deck to the tv and record the songs. As a gay man, Charming Carr, liesel, was my first crush. My question is, Why didn't their carriers do better from this ginormous monster hit? I know the eldest boy, Nicholas Hammond was Spiderman in the 70s but that was 10 years later and hardly a gig given to him from the heat of TSOM. Angela Cartwright, Brigitta, continued her tv work and has a solid C.V. but not moviel stardom or teen idol fame. Elder gays, did they do major P.R. at the time with the kids? Were they in the fan mags, on TV? Were they like The Beatles, for 15 minutes? I'd love to know.

That damn Friends game show commercial. Shoot me. Whitney Cummings is generally not funny even though she told no lies on New Years Eve.

Explain your reasoning. I've never seen anybody so chic and effortlessly cool. Imagine having that natural, feline grace and going through life extremely rich, beloved and beautiful with a fantastic career and sense of purpose.

I'm in NYC and 1-2 days ago, the temp dropped down to about 55 at night, chilly enough that I closed all of my windows figuring fall is here and time to welcome the cooler weather. My apartment got cool enough that I turned on my little heating pad in my bed that night. The next day the building turned on the heat.

I had no complaints about that... until this morning. It is fucking 80 degrees today here in NYC and the heat is still on! I am baking. Even with open windows, there is no relief. New Yorkers know that these old buildings (this building is about 80 years old) that never got upgraded to tenant controlled thermostats turn into ovens when the steam radiators get cranking. I'm sitting here in a t-shirt sweating while bright hot sun pours in and the radiator is hissing with steam. Kill me.

I envy all of you who live in modern buildings and can monitor your own comfortable environment.

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

Usual supporters of free speech are under fire for signing on to Riyadh comedy festival despite the government’s human rights abuses

“They dragged little Greta by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others”

Several international activists deported from Israel after joining a Gaza aid flotilla have accused Israeli forces of mistreating climate campaigner Greta Thunberg.

The 137 deportees landed in Istanbul on Saturday, including 36 Turkish nationals alongside activists from the United States, Italy, Malaysia, Kuwait, Switzerland, Tunisia, Libya, Jordan and other countries, Turkish officials confirmed.

Turkish journalist and Gaza Sumud Flotilla participant Ersin Celik told local media outlets he witnessed Israeli forces “torture Greta Thunberg,” describing how she was “dragged on the ground” and “forced to kiss the Israeli flag.”

Malaysian activist Hazwani Helmi and American participant Windfield Beaver gave similar accounts at Istanbul Airport, alleging Thunberg was shoved and paraded with an Israeli flag.

“It was a disaster. They treated us like animals,” Helmi said, adding that detainees were denied food, clean water, and medication.

Beaver said Thunberg was “treated terribly” and “used as propaganda,” recalling how she was shoved into a room as far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir entered.

Italian journalist Lorenzo Agostino, who had been on the flotilla, also cited the treatment of Thunberg.

“Greta Thunberg, a brave woman, is only 22 years old. She was humiliated and wrapped in an Israeli flag and exhibited like a trophy,” he told Anadolu.

Others described severe mistreatment. Turkish TV presenter Ikbal Gurpinar said, “They treated us like dogs. They left us hungry for three days. They didn’t give us water; we had to drink from the toilet … It was a terribly hot day, and we were all roasting.” She said the ordeal gave her “a better understanding of Gaza”.

Is this who Nicholas Alexander Chavez character in Grotesquerie is based on? Lol

Most of President Donald Trump’s supporters back keeping enhanced subsidies for Affordable Care Act plans, the central obstacle in ending the government shutdown, according to a new poll from the nonpartisan health policy research group KFF. It was conducted Sept. 23 through Sept. 29, just days before Congress failed to pass a funding measure to keep the government open.

More than 22 million people receive the subsidies, which are set to expire at the end of the year unless Congress extends them. Losing the subsidies could mean that average out-of-pocket premium payments could double in 2026, from $888 a year to $1,904, an earlier KFF analysis found.

Platon's Dialogue with Condoleezza Rice.

They always say film directors create a recurring character or theme that represents them. Pesci is the man Scorsese wished he was or sees himself as in hyper-realistic form. Hence the brilliant films.

First off, I have to say that I can’t believe it’s already been 16 fucking years since this movie came out. Time flies!!! I was 20 when it came out and in college. I rented it on iTunes when it came out there and found it to be pretty funny and witty. I found 3 of the 4 main cast members super cute too. I had such a crush on Jarod (played by Jonathan Chase) but after watching it again tonight for the first time since 2006, Griff is my favorite. He’s just so cute!

I hated Nico and found him repulsive. Watching now, he reminds me of Frankie Grande.

I loathed the sequel, but still bought it along with the first one on iTunes for nostalgia sake. None of the original cast came back for the sequel minus hideous and repulsive Nico. The new Griff was fug, the new Andy lame, and while Jimmy Clabots is a hot Jarod, he lacked the charm Jonathan Chase had.

Sad.

Anyone else like the movie?

The unique inns that have defined P-town for decades are becoming rarer

PROVINCETOWN ― On a summer afternoon, Commercial Street is humming with tourists, the briny air smelling of fresh fudge and fried clams. Drag queens in sequin dresses sashay past strollers and leashed dogs, weaving through the slow crawl of cars that yield to the crowd of pedestrians and cyclists. For many, a trip to this destination on the tip of Cape Cod begins when they step off the ferry and check into one of the town’s boutique, owner-run inns where innkeepers greet guests by name and cook them breakfast.

For Josh Scaturro and Stan Cottner, running an inn isn’t just a job — it’s a way of life. The couple recall drunkenly stumbling out of the Boat Slip Resort and Beach Club in 2014, spotting a building for sale, and, within a few months, leaving their lives in Key West, Fla., to launch the Queen Vic Guest House — a 10-room inn where they also live.

t’s a hard day in the Southern Tier. One of our own, Arthur Jones, who grew up in Endicott and went on to win a Super Bowl with the Baltimore Ravens, has died at just 39 years old. Many didn't expect a kid from Union-Endicott High School to one day shine on football’s biggest stage, but Arthur’s story was never typical. His journey wasn’t just about tackles or stats. It was about determination, loyalty, and the kind of smile that could light up a room.

Arthur Jones died on October 3, 2025. He was only 39. The cause hasn’t been made public, but what we do know is that it feels far too soon. He wasn’t just a football player with a Super Bowl ring, he was a hometown kid from Endicott whose story inspired so many. His loss leaves a hole that can’t be filled.

Whirlpool, stainless steel, three years old. I want to upgrade to something different.

What if the Democrats don't back down and the government stays shut down? What if the military ignore Hegseth and stand down? What if people in the street start rebelling the Trump administration? Could there be an insurrection and the whole Republican party collapses?

Most Jews say Israel is committing war crimes — and 39 percent say genocide — while often distinguishing between the country and its leadership.

Many American Jews sharply disapprove of Israel’s conduct of the war in Gaza, with 61 percent saying Israel has committed war crimes and about 4 in 10 saying the country is guilty of genocide against the Palestinians, according to a Washington Post poll. The findings are striking given the long-standing ties between the U.S. Jewish community and Israel, suggesting the potential for a historic breach over the Gaza war. Two years after Hamas militants poured into Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, killing some 1,200 people and taking 250 hostage, Israel’s retaliatory incursion has killed more than 66,000 Palestinians, according to the Gaza Health Ministry, displaced many more, and led to widespread hunger in the territory.

American Jews are particularly unhappy with the current Israeli government. Sixty-eight percent give negative marks to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s leadership of Israel, with 48 percent rating it “poor” — a 20-percentage-point jump from a Pew Research Center poll five years ago. But Jews also overwhelmingly blame Hamas, with 94 percent saying Hamas has committed war crimes against Israelis.

It’s so realistic!

When first released, it was a critical and financial bomb. But then a cult following developed. Lots of dumb tv-movie sequels. The awful 2004 remake.

I just watched the original again for the first time in years. I always found it to be fun trash.

Watching it now, I'm tellin' ya, it's a masterpiece!

The Bravo maestro revealed on his Sirius show that his recent stunning weight loss is thanks to micro-dosing a GLP1. He said he would be a hypocrite not to fess up given he has asked the housewives what work they’ve had done through the years. Andy said getting on a GLP1 finally helped him conquer his food cravings and he is now in the best shape of his life. Perhaps now he will finally settle down! Are we proud of his candor, gang?

He's muscular and handsome.

Yikes.

This is the THIRD time I've received a text from the former Secretary of the Interior, who's currently running for Governor of New Mexico, in which she promises to share her recipes with me... for a small contribution.

Two times I've sent her $$$$$, and two times I have received what? GOOSE EGGS. No recipe. He may be a little extra, but at least our Gerg shares his recipes for free!

No Ma'am, Ms. Haaland; if I lived in NM I'd 100% vote for you, but a contribution? Nah, cuz you're already two recipes in arrears; why should I play BooBoo the Fool a third time?

But good luck to ya!

Probably most of them were Trump supporters in one way or another. Now all of them know he's a bad egg.

Is this the future of music ? Romel Murphy, the manager for Xania Monet, thinks so.

Honestly, at face value, it looks pretty good. It’s not rocket science, granted, but if everyone kept their promises, it could work out.

It doesn’t preclude The Palestine becoming an independent state.

The problem is one side will inevitably break the agreement and was will continue

I present to DL the Canadian professional wrestler of Ukrainian descent, George Gordienko. At 260 pounds of pure muscle, he won several NWA titles in British Columbia during his career before relocating to the US, from which he was deported for distributing communist literature. After retiring from wrestling, he worked as an artist for the remainder of his life. Never married, no children. Can you imagine having this bull?

Will have to be one whose rise to power isn’t perceived as coming from a man.

Hillary Clinton— as smart and capable as she is, her claim to power was as the wife of a former president.

Kamala Harris- also very smart but whoever pegged her as becoming the next president. She was hand picked by Biden after only a short Senate career. She is the first VP in a while that we never even had on track to be president.

Yesterday at work, one of my coworkers and I had taken lunch together in the staff lounge. She's early 70s, I'm 60. Another coworker around my age (whom I don't know that well) asked if she could sit for a few minutes with us, and started telling us all about her son away at college. I actually tuned out and was answering text messages on my phone - as I said, I really don't know her and wasn't interested in what she was saying. My coworker said very little to her, and I could tell she was keeping her distance from her.

After she left, my coworker turned to me and smiled. She asked, 'You don't know her that well do you ?' I responded, "I really don't know her at all. Just to say 'hi ' when I'm walking by her." My coworker then said, 'Good. Stay away from her. She's a very complex woman,' and gave me a knowing look (as if to say, I'm warning you.').

I've never heard that term used before, describing someone as 'complex'. Can anyone give me some background on this or examples of what makes someone 'complex' (and to stay away from them').

She’s moving back to Las Vegas, as she can’t make a living in the south. Her plan was to open a skating school, but it never came to fruition, and she’s going through a divorce.

The property has been heavily updated, and clearly looks like a divorce house. Furniture is sparse.

it’s weird that I can recognize White Supremacy behind almost every Trump policy but NO ONE in the news media ever points that out.

Keep out Brown people: stopping Visas from certain countries, challenge birthright citizenship, mass deportation of undocumented, 100k for H-1 Visas,

Give advantages to whites: importing white afrikaaners, stopping any programs that help brown people in colleges and in the workplace, ending DEI, curtailing discussions of slavery and racism in schools, force schools to hire those with conservative leanings, checking to assure schools admit white students over black students

Going the way of Hungary and Russia, Slovakia passes anti LGBT laws

My great aunt showed me a photo of my father (20s) and his siblings (20s and teens) at the beach looking rail thin. My aunts (who in my adulthood I now realise have lifelong eating disorders) spoke about how chubby there were but in their youth they were so uncomfortably thin you can see their bony protruding sternums. In the context of the context of the 70:s, they looked “normal”.

I mused to my great aunt that less processed food in the common diet made such a difference. She snorted and reminded me my dad’s sister did all the cooking on weeknights while my grandmother worked, so they lived on Campbell’s soup and Kraft Macaroni and cheese. They were smoking by they were 15.

The girls bought OTC diet pills which were basically speed.

Agree or disagree?

Inspired by the cliches you hate thread

I love a sassy sarcastic best friend. I don’t care if they’re black, gay, ugly, fat or Carrie Fisher I love and live for the Rhoda archetype in any movie, even the bad ones.

One of the few erotic drama/thrillers I remember that were made by major Hollywood studios during the 2000s decade (the other ones that come to my mind are "Unfaithful" and "In the Cut").

It's always been a big guilty pleasure favorite of mine. Antonio Banderas and Thomas Jane were hot as fuck in it.

What's DL take on this one?

According to A.I., I can expect:

Man these people are very real and not cool or sexy like blood drinking vampires. Why do some people get off on draining other people? I’ve become very selective about who I deal witch it out in the world all the time and it’s nauseating

She keeps appearing in my Instagram feed, and like a car crash, I can’t help but look.

Tragedy struck Yosemite National Park Wednesday when popular Alaskan climber Balin Miller, 23, fell to his death from the iconic El Capitan — an accident reportedly captured during a livestream.

I have a rather interesting turn-of-the-century Portland palace for your perusal, but first I must ask you cunts to settle a debate between me and my partner.

As you can see in the listing below, the home is described as a "Craftsman." WHICH IT IS NOT. A Craftsman is, quite literally, a paint-by-numbers version of a house sold by Sears Roebuck in the early 20th century. While clearly an improvement over its predecessors, THIS house is a stunning mansion with a mix of architectural influences – even some Palladian-style symmetry! – but the one thing it is NOT is a "Craftsman."

Arts-and-Crafts Era? Great. Something something Revival? Fine? Sears Fucking Roebuck? Absolutely NOT.

My partner INSISTS, however, that "Craftsman" has "overtaken" arts-and-crafts, "much like millennial subsumed Generation Y," which makes me want to SLAP HER! Please settle this for us, DL. I will get to do some terrible, terrible things to my partner which he does not like in the bedroom if I am correct. (And I usually am.)

That said, I can at least point out some features on the house. If anything, this is the opposite of a typical Tasteful Friends home. While 5,000 sq ft is fucking ridiculous – it's Portland, not Salt Lake City, and they don't have Romney-sized broods, let alone Mormon Wives ones – the interiors are simply stunning. I *love* that kitchen. Even the whimsical tile in the powder room is adorable

Oh, wait: my partner wants to point out some "distasteful" rooms, in his cunty view. He thinks the bed in pic #24 is "basic-bitch-tacky-AF," and is feigning shock that the bed in pic #29 has no headboard. May I slap him? PLEASE?

We do, however, concur that the black sofa thing in pic #32 is fucking HIDEOUS.

...commanding you to go online and complete an "American Community Survey"? Supposedly this survey will decide where important services are needed, including Improving roads & reducing traffic, building schools & planning for the health care needs of the elderly. it says my address was selected randomly.

The letter claims "YOUR RESPONSE IS REQUIRED BY US LAW".

I'm tempted to throw this shyte in the trash. If I don't complete the survey on line they say they'll send a written form in the mail in a few weeks.

The dumbest saying of all time.

Now you know.

Did anyone here live through this, or have a similar experience in another city?

For the second time in as many months, Tucker Carlson is deeply dissecting the faggotry of a political figure. Last time, it was Nick Fuentes, the right-wing boy with the flat ass. Now he says Pete Buttigieg is actually straight, but faking the faggotry for ratings and donations. He keeps claiming to get these insights from his gay producer, who no one ever sees. That queen has flawless gaydar, and passes instant judgment on who's a true banana-crammer.

Why does Tucker care so deeply about who's really a gay? How low will he go to prove it?

Shoutout to the Bernie-suckers over at HuffPost for deliberately picking the ugliest possible picture of Our Peter alongside a pic of Carlson before his latest trainwreck eyejob.

It's almost time to watch my program.

Who knew Leslie was the one holding this thing together. We could really use his comedies right now.

Martha Louise and Durek Verrett announced their engagement in June 2022.

Princess Martha Louise of Norway will this weekend marry a self-proclaimed shaman, who claims to have "risen from the dead". Ms Louise and her American fiance Durek Verrett will get married during a private ceremony in Geiranger, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its stunning fjords. The festivities kicked off with a "meet and greet" at a historic hotel in Alesund, where hundreds of guests, including members of the Swedish royal family and American TV personalities, gathered to celebrate the union. The wedding itinerary includes a scenic boat trip along the fjord to Geiranger, where the couple will exchange vows.

Princess Martha Louise, 52, is the eldest child of King Harald V of Norway and was once a competitive equestrian. Mr Verrett, 49, is a Hollywood spiritual guru.

Martha, Princess of Norway and Shaman Durek of L.A. tell their story in "Rebel Royals - An Unlikely Love Story."

The Press goes wild with tapes of Durek confessing he sucked a dick and Martha pulling a Harry and stepping down from the Royal Family.

Shocking!

So sad (not really 😏😄)….but it sounds like the college admissions scandal put a strain on their marriage.

This may be sacrilege, but I think in some ways I prefer it to the original. It has a darker aura than the first film, and the empty hospital setting is very creepy. It's very atmospheric. I think one of its few flaws is Jamie Lee's obscene wig.

At a recent panel, a reporter revealed to the ‘Uncharted’ actor about bringing his daughter to meet Zendaya. He said in the clip, “I brought my daughter, and she got to meet your girlfriend.” Further, he added, “So, I was father of the year.” Holland quickly picked up on the girlfriend word and corrected the reporter that she’s his “Fiancée.”

The couple sparked engagement rumors when Zendaya debuted a diamond ring on her left hand’s ring finger at the Golden Globes 2025. The next day, TMZ confirmed the engagement of the duo. It was revealed that Holland proposed to her “in one of Zendaya’s family homes in the United States” over the Christmas holidays. The proposal was described as “very romantic and intimate.”

Very funny.

EG here, and I had never caught up to this one until last night. It was one of the better old black and white films I have seen in quite a while. Really well done. Elia Kazan's first movie. Just some general thoughts:

1) wasn't familiar with James Dunn until this, but his Oscar was well-deserved. A charming performance in many ways despite the fact his character is an alcoholic loser. 2) Dorothy McGuire looks like she is missing a tooth from certain angles. I don't find her very pretty but her performance is fine. 3) Lloyd Nolan gives a moving performance as a kindly beat cop. 4) Joan Blondell looked terrific in this and was welcome energy anytime she showed up. Her character was pretty risque for 1945. A serial bride who marries one guy when she isn't even sure the other was dead! 5) Why was the mother responsible for cleaning the hallways? Did she get a cut in the rent?

There's so much more at the link. Absolutely mind-blowing is an understatement. BTW, the Yahoo reprint of the CNN article does not contain the mother's picture. I gasped at the preview. ___________

Despite being contacted by local law enforcement, child protective services and school personnel - and knowing about her son’s desire to “commit acts of mass violence” - Pardo told the school she was not concerned about his behavior, the affidavit says. Authorities say she purchased tactical gear, ammunition and supplies for her son [bold]in exchange for babysitting his younger siblings.[/bold] She “intentionally and knowingly aided” her son, the affidavit states.

The affidavit says on Monday, the student’s grandmother reported to San Antonio police that she found troubling items in her home in her grandson’s bedroom. According to the affidavit, the grandmother learned the previous day that Pardo gave him ammunition. She told authorities Pardo had taken him to a local surplus store and bought him tactical gear including magazines, a tactical vest capable of concealing ballistic plates, a tactical helmet and army clothing.

She also found magazines loaded with live ammunition, along with a homemade explosive device made from a mortar-style firework, according to the affidavit. Written on the device was “For Brenton Tarrant,” a white supremacist who shot and killed 51 people at two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand in 2019. Authorities said it also included the phrase “14 words” and multiple “SS” symbols, all linked to white supremacist ideology.

MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell details how military commanders who listened to Donald Trump’s “deranged” speech have to be wondering “just how much more dangerous their jobs are now that they've seen just how lost and sick their Commander-in-Chief is.”

What is it like?

When I was younger this thought would never have crossed my mind. But back then both parties were clearly rooted in beliefs that supported being an American. But now with the Democrats believing that trans- people are more important than the rest of us, and the Republicans becoming a cult, it is the death march to Bataan if we don't form a third party that reflects what a great many of us in the middle believe. I want people to move here but for the right reasons, vetted, and then released to work with a way to monitor their whereabouts until they are full citizens. I want crime to decrease( which it has) but without the bigoted ideals that promote most police work, but also with a sense of real protection. It is another question of vetting, and goals. I want a fair and open economy, but one that everyone has a hand in -not just big techs but Mary and George in Iowa. I want a healthcare industry that isn't working on their time and profits. I want incels males and #metoo females to see that being straight, drunk and happy can lead to a better life without hate or video games. It's time to put down the phones. I want everyone's history to be treated in a fine- well-rounded manner without hate or twist. I want colleges to stop treating our children like fragile flowers, and start making them to listen to various opinions or don't come to college. I want to be a world leader but not the only world leader. And I want free speech, free protest, and freedom from church and state. I want a federal court system that is about elections, not lifelong appointments. But most I want all Americans to feel free to be themselves without the need to press it against each other like a knife in a dark alley. And I want to elect boring men and women who will carry on without the need to entertain- leave that to the idiots on NBC.

Also astrology, Santeria, and everything else. Ben needs a spiritual restraining order against this crazy bitch.

Was this movie successful when it came out?

Fans are shredding MAGA podcaster Theo Von after he apparently “bombed” at the taping of his big Netflix special over the weekend.

One fan posted to Reddit that Von “had to pause the show to ask for the punchline several times,” while another called the performance “nerve wrecking just to watch,” and “hands down, the worst comedy show I’ve ever seen.”

Yet another Redditor called the set “a failure of epic proportions,” as Vanity Fair noted in its review that Von, “a sought-out interviewer for A-list actors and musicians,” struggled through “a couple of false starts” during his taping at Manhattan’s Beacon Theatre and “seemed jittery.”

Regal Cinemas is bringing back a shitload of classic horror movies to the big screen for every day of October this year. Which are your picks? I think "The Exorcist" and "Rosemary's Baby" are going to be essential for me (never seen either in a theater). I think I'd also like to revisit the original "The Strangers", which scarred me when I saw it for the first time in theaters when I was in high school.

Any other fans of this ridiculous gay parody of American Pie?

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

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

And I loathe all these characters. They’re horrible people.

Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s would-be assassin now identifies as a transgender woman who has suffered severe mental illness, including suicidal ideation, according to newly surfaced court filings.

Defense attorneys revealed Friday that 29-year-old Nicholas John Roske, who pleaded guilty in April to attempting to kill Kavanaugh, will henceforth be referred to by her lawyers as “Sophie Roske.”

The public defenders assigned to Roske’s case indicated in a court filing that they will refer to their client with female pronouns “out of respect,” though Roske has not filed to legally change it.

I'm going with yes.

BIG Brother star Ava Pearl has been ousted by the rest of the cast after they discovered her rage-filled rant that was caught on camera, a source exclusively told The U.S. Sun.

Ava might have made it into the Top 4 on the latest season of Big Brother, but not without rustling some feathers along the way.

While the New York native was primarily well-liked in the house and was considered a fan-favorite, that isn't the case anymore, as her co-stars have apparently distanced themselves since the finale.

"Ava has essentially been blacklisted from the rest of the finalist group," an insider exclusively revealed, noting that her castmates' change of heart was in support of BB veteran Rachel Reilly.

"They want nothing to do with her after calling Rachel a b***h and a c**t," the source explained.

"Ava didn’t think cameras picked up on that, but she got a rude awakening outside of the house."

The moment in reference occurred earlier in the season when cameras caught Ava mumbling expletives about Rachel to herself while fixing her hair in the mirror.

Ava was the only one in the bathroom at the time and appeared to have forgotten that she was wearing a mic and that she was under constant surveillance.

After seeing the clip, Rachel's husband, Brendon, apparently came to his wife's defense and has separated the former houseguests from Ava.

"Brendon is making sure the cast doesn’t f**k with Ava because he feels she disrespected Rachel so much. Everyone is rallying on Rachel’s side, and Ava is on an island of her own," the insider revealed.

A favorite of mine, 'A Tree Grows in Brooklyn.' I saw the movie & re-read the book in honor of my late, great friend Alice, who thought the Betty Smith novel was like the story of her life. From what I've read, a lot of people felt that way! I wrote about "Tree" & Alice, whose birthday was Oct. 2. The film is a lovely adaptation by Elia Kazan, with a great cast, including Dorothy McGuire, Peggy Ann Garner, Joan Blondell, and James Dunn. My tribute here:

Starring Michelle Williams with sidekick friend Jenny Slate.

Michelle has incurable stage 4 metastatic breast cancer and decides she wants to leave her obnoxious, nebbish husband who hasn't touched her in 3 years to embark on a massive fuck-fest for her last days.

I just finished the 1st episode--amazing soundtrack, very charming. Jenny Slate isn't too much. Michelle Williams is adorable and somehow looks 26. I'm excited because I sense there will be a LOT of hot man-ass in this series.

It did peak at #10 on the Hot 100 but fell off quickly. It’s such a good song.

But sadly no one else in Fleetwood Mac had the magnetism and star power of Stevie Nicks.

The Treasury Department is considering producing a one-dollar coin featuring President Donald Trump to commemorate the 250th anniversary of U.S. independence next year, a spokesperson confirmed on Friday.

The draft design of the coin, which was overseen by the Office of the U.S. Treasurer Brandon Beach, features Trump’s profile on one side of the coin. The opposite side depicts Trump with a clenched fist in front of an American flag alongside the words “FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT”.

“Despite the radical left’s forced shutdown of our government, the facts are clear: Under the historic leadership of President Donald J. Trump, our nation is entering its 250th anniversary stronger, more prosperous, and better than ever before,” a Treasury Department spokesperson said in a statement. “While a final $1 dollar coin design has not yet been selected to commemorate the United States’ semiquincentennial, this first draft reflects well the enduring spirit of our country and democracy, even in the face of immense obstacles.”

Congress in 2020 passed bipartisan legislation, signed by Trump during his first term, that authorizes the Treasury Secretary to issue $1 dollar coins during the 2026 calendar year. The design of those coins must be “emblematic of the United States semiquincentennial.”

Beach, who supervises the U.S. Mint, said in a post on X Friday that the administration would share “more soon, once the obstructionist shutdown of the United States government is over.”

In a Tesla. Of course.

Who IS this cunt?

He's starring in Alexander Skarsgaard's sub in Pillion.

He was in The Queen's Gambit among a laundry list of other acting credits.

He's lost a lot of weight since he was a child, but may be a bit too skinny these days.

At least executives don’t have to worry about her getting addicted to heroin or shotgun marriages?

Yesterday, Hamish Steele, the creator of Dead End: Paranormal Park, informed his followers on BlueSky that he would be taking a social media break due to “extremely nasty weird homophobic and antisemitic emails” he was receiving. “I will just say today is much much worse and I am going to basically be on the down low for the foreseeable,” he wrote. “My apologies.”

In one of the cartoon’s episodes, the character Barney Guttman says he is transgender. A clip of that moment has made the social media rounds in recent days. Musk too latched on to the anti-Netflix trend, writing on X, “This is not ok” and “Cancel Netflix for the health of your kids.”

Steele responded lightheartedly, “It’s all lies and slander! Netflix is NOT promoting at the moment!”

Later that day, Steele posted, “I have mostly been very ok today and found it all quite funny, while really appreciating everyone who has reached out, but the extremely nasty weird homophobic and antisemitic emails have started rolling in and it is getting a little scary so I apologize if I take longer to respond to stuff.”

Still later, he posted the message about the day being “much much worse” and taking a social media break.

He left her according to the article.

When he receives an assignment to lure and arrest gay men in a mall bathroom, he is surprised to discover a scintillating connection with Andrew (Russell Tovey), one of his targets.

So many people have tattoos now (I work with two grandmas in their 70s that have them)...are younger people eventually going to rebel and start thinking they're cringe? Summer is a time when you can't avoid seeing people's tattoos. The majority of people seem to have them now. When it becomes that pervasive, it's not something edgy or even interesting any more. Will they go out of style? It seems inevitable. (Not judging anyone.)

They were kind enough to call my doctor for me and there was no issue getting the prescription faxed over, and I got the puncture. She and I were talking about all the new stupid rules they're coming out with and she informed me that previously insurance paid for the COVID treatment Paxlovid, but no more. Now it will cost you $1000 to receive the treatment, so be careful, hope you don't come down with COVID.
