She couldn’t forgive Bette Davis writing to Streep saying she was a worthy successor. Marlene Dietrich spent her last days writing Ugly and Pig on photos of Streep. Did they simply know that Streep could do what they couldn’t? They acted cartoonishly. Streep was steeped in realism.

It was many years before I realized that Nancy actually sang the lead on this song, because her voice so much resembled her sister's to me. I felt like an idiot for not being able to distinguish them. She apparently recorded it while she was recovering from a flu, which gave her voice a bit of raspiness that is not normally there. It always went without saying that Nancy was also a very good singer, but this really showcases her range and is one of the band's best songs IMO.

Which is a huge gain....buut DL said nothing.

It's a Saturday. The goal is to get this one as close to 11 million in attendance as possible, so it's very important that we all spread the word as much as possible. Hang up signs at work, hand out fliers to neighbors--anything you can do.

Because of the turnout on 4/5, MSM is actually advertising this one. This is excellent progress. Don't give up, bitches--they're taking notice.

I have started to rewatch the first season. I forgot how tedious it was - they really didn’t miss any woke cliché of the early 2020s. I know they tried to atone for the abomination of the SATC 2 movie but it’s just too much. Miranda, in particular is insufferable. Does it get better in season 2 and afterwards?

On April 28 in Philadelphia, an air traffic controller began shouting that he had lost his radar feed for planes flying in and out of Newark Liberty International Airport.

Some of his colleagues still had radar but their radios went dead, prompting frantic calls to their counterparts in New York urging them to keep their planes away from Newark’s airspace.

Then, for 30 harrowing seconds until the radios came back, there was nothing more to do but hope — as they had no means of telling pilots how to avoid crashing their planes into one another.

Actress Marlo Thomas, 87, made her first public appearance on Monday night - eight months after the death of her beloved husband and talk show host Phil Donahue, 88. The actress stepped out in New York City for Night at the Pier, Family Equality’s signature fundraising gala. Also in attendance was Debbie Harry and Demi Moore.

Since his passing last August, Thomas has been reclusive and out of the public eye. She had stopped doing promotions for St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital, the renowned pediatric treatment center founded by her late father, Danny Thomas.

At a June 2024 fundraiser for the Biden presidential campaign, Joe Biden did not recognize longtime friend George Clooney.

In the new book “Original Sin,” excerpted in The New Yorker, CNN’s Jake Tapper and Axios’ Alex Thompson tell the story of the Biden White House’s ultimately failed attempt to control the story around his advanced age and his faculties. As the story indeed broke open following the disastrous June 27, 2024 debate between Biden and Donald Trump, Clooney’s July 10 New York Times op-ed calling for Biden to quit the race was a milestone in how bluntly it described the president’s decline.

For 10 years, Clinton Kelly and Stacy London told clients what not to wear on their TLC makeover show. Now, 12 years after What Not to Wear’s conclusion, Kelly and London have changed their tune.

“We're allowing people to be more of who they are,” London, 55, tells PEOPLE in a joint interview with Kelly, 56, of their new show Wear Whatever the F You Want. “A lot more is out in the open when we are talking about body positivity or gender or sexuality or even race.

These are all topics that were not front and center in 2003. Everything evolves, so we have to find ways to mirror the times that we're in. It would be so tone-deaf if we were still trying to do the same format of kidnapping people and telling them, ‘Wow. You look like crap’ in a 360 mirror."

Tired of waiting for Boeing to make a new Air Force One, President Donald Trump’s administration is now revamping a plane once used by the Qatari government, according to a report.

“I’m not happy with Boeing,” the president said in February, referring to the Air Force One program. "We may buy a plane or get a plane, or something."

Now, his administration seems to be doing just that. The federal government is hiring defense contractor L3Harris to refurbish a Boeing 747 previously used by the Qatari government, the Wall Street Journal reported.

Despite the anodyne-sounding headline, a new AP/NORC poll has T-Rump's approval at 39% (only 26% for Independents). He's above 40% only on immigration, where he's also underwater (46%). Sad!

Ex-“Real Housewives of New York City” star Sonja Morgan caused quite the scene at Noho hotspot Tucci on Saturday after the restaurant refused to comp her bill, we hear.

She called owner Max Tucci after being handed a $1,000 check demanding a comp because, among other things, she’s a single mother.

“She was absolutely hysterical and refused to pay. It was like she was filming a ‘Housewives’ episode, shouting, ‘I’m a celebrity!,'” a source claimed to Page Six.

Bill Belichick’s 24-year-old girlfriend fell short yet again in the Miss Maine beauty pageant, placing third Sunday. She looked dejected behind her beaming stage smile as the results were read aloud — and it was revealed she’d landed one place worse than she did in 2024.

Her famously grouchy boyfriend and her father, who is in his late 40s, sat together in the front row and chatted amiably between rounds.

Hudson had tried to hook the judges during the pageant by leaning into her local Maine maritime roots – at one point sporting a red lobster-shaped clutch embroidered with “Save Maine Fishermen” in a nod to her father’s former career.

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.

F.B.I. Director Kash Patel said on Friday that agents had arrested a county judge in Milwaukee on charges of obstructing immigration enforcement. A spokesman for the U.S. Marshals confirmed the arrest of a sitting judge, a major escalation in the Trump administration’s battle with local authorities over deportations.

The bureau arrested Judge Hannah Dugan on suspicion that she “intentionally misdirected federal agents away from” an immigrant being pursued by federal authorities, Mr. Patel wrote on social media. He later deleted the post for reasons that were not immediately clear. An F.B.I. spokesman did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

In my Gen Z class it was some variation on Bye Bye Birdie (lots of parts for kids), Fiddler on the Roof (suburban teens playing elderly Eastern European Jews), Anything Goes (don't know why), Oklahoma! and The Sound of Music (perpetual war horses), and Godspell ("contemporary," plus no costumes were required, just whatever was in the costume closet).

A school across town did "Jesus Christ Superstar" and there were walkouts when they discovered the kid playing Jesus was black.

I imagine "Hairspray" is in the current rotation for many reasons, but what else? The Light in the Piazza? Rent?

When Harry and Meghan proposed to the late Queen Elizabeth that they live abroad while still supporting the monarchy, they believed they had found the ideal solution to a difficult chapter — one that would bring them happiness, leave the royal family at peace and allow their public work to continue. “We were trying to create this happy house,” Harry tells PEOPLE.

When Harry departed the Sandringham Summit in January 2020, he did so with the understanding that his security would remain in place. Court documents revealed that, in letters from the Queen herself, she expressed support for Harry and Meghan’s need for “effective security.” Yet, just one month later, the government committee responsible for state-funded security, RAVEC, informed them that this would no longer be the case.

That dress actually slims our Lens making her look merely OBESE instead of Morbidly OBESE.

Cher’s 48-year-old son, Elijah Blue Allman, was recently spotted looking worse for wear following the end of his ugly conservatorship battle with his superstar mom.

Allman was caught on camera smoking a cigarette outside the famous Chateau Marmont hotel on the Sunset Strip in Los Angeles.

His clothes were in tatters, and he struggled to stand up straight as he stumbled around. Allman, who had a long, nail-polished fingernail on his right hand, was also seen staring off vacantly before shakily wandering back into the famed hotel.

I wanted the energy of the confident, breezy, smart, image-conscious women-on-the-go in this Sizzler commercial. They were the height of attainable sophistication to me.

Actor Paapa Essiedu may be set to star as Severus Snape in the upcoming Harry Potter television series, but that doesn’t mean he sides with JK Rowling when it comes to her anti-trans views.

The 34-year-old British actor is one of 400 TV and film professionals who have signed an open letter expressing their solidarity with the trans community in the wake of the UK Supreme Court’s April 17 ruling that defined women based on biological sex, excluding trans women.

The ruling, which is predicted to have broad-reaching implications for the trans and non-binary community and was financially backed by Rowling, “undermines the lived reality and threatens the safety of trans, non-binary and intersex people living in the UK,” the open letter reads.

Essiedu isn’t the only star of the Harry Potter franchise to sign the letter. Fantastic Beasts star Eddie Redmayne and Katie Leung, who played Cho Chang in the original Harry Potter films, have both spoken out against Rowling in the past and signed the letter. The letter was developed by development producer Sid Strickland of Motive Pictures and script editor Jack Casey after the ruling came out and it became clear that it would exclude trans people from single-sex facilities, including industry sets and movie theaters, Deadline reports.

“The UK film and television industry is at the forefront of cultural change. In recent years, we have come together in response to the Me Too and Black Lives Matter movements, to reflect upon our working practices and uplift a broad spectrum of voices in our society,” the letter said.

“We must now urgently work to ensure that our trans, non-binary and intersex colleagues, collaborators and audiences are protected from discrimination and harassment in all areas of the industry, whether on set, in a production office or at a cinema.”

Essiedu signed his name to the letter despite starring in HBO’s upcoming TV adaptation of Rowling’s Harry Potter series, and Rowling’s financial support of the anti-trans policy and her celebrity social media posts once the Supreme Court ruled in her favor.

The letter was also signed by nonbinary The Last of Us Star Bella Ramsey and Bridgerton actress Nicola Coughlan, who recently raised £120,000 for the trans rights charity Not a Phase, and Fantastic Beasts star Eddie Redmayne, who has spoken out against Rowling’s anti-trans views in the past.

And even more Harry Potter stars signed their names, too. Trevor White, who played Harry Potter in the Canadian premiere of the stage production Harry Potter and the Cursed Child signed alongside Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince actress Bessie Carter (who is also Professor Umbridge actress Imelda Staunton’s daughter), younger Lily Potter actress Amy Forest, Harry Potter series actress Ayoola Smart, and Eleanor Matsuura, who appeared in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 as a character named "Yaxley’s Henchwoman" were also signatories.

Anyone watching this mess? Housewives on the make.Gizelle and Ashley from Potomac, LuAnn from NY, and train wreck Shannon from Orange County. It’s trash, but not bad to have on the background. Plus, there are a couple of hot daddies vying for a Housewife.

Gizelle, Ashley, and LuAnn are just there for a paycheck and to have fun, but of course Shannon is taking it seriously and is already having meltdowns.

Joel Kim Booster is the host.

I mean the Whites that often have generational ties to any city, primarily in the East Coast and some parts of the Midwest. For lack of a better term they often look... "ethnic" ?, very distinct features compared to your average White bread American, and they also pretty commonly have a blue collar look to them if you know what I mean. Even the ones that tend to work in office or other White collar jobs, you can look at them and tell, "Oh you definitely had family here for generations".I've noticed that some people who’ve lived in a city for generations often have a distinct look—like certain facial features, complexions, or styles that seem unique to that place.

Whipkey's story features a photo of Camp at a restaurant with the caption, "Her smile is a poem/Her eyes are roses/Her laugh is music for dancing." Camp's repost of the image added the burning heart emoji and tagged Whipkey's account.

Camp also posted a photo of Whipkey in an Instagram slideshow on March 28. "Happiness lately happening," the actress wrote in her caption, while Whipkey commented, "Big time happy."

Whipkey has also left comments on a number of Camp's other posts, calling her "angel" and using multiple heart-eyed emojis and fire emojis.

[QUOTE]This captivating docuseries explores themes like childhood trauma, mental health and revenge, and it will also get viewers thinking about who the true victims are.

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

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

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

I'm surprised he didn't get better parts after he left Grey's Anatomy. He's appealing looking, and he's a good actor.

Did he get black balled after he asked to be written off the show? I thought he was going to do tons of theater afterwards but he really hasn't done that much--although he's in the new Stranger Things play on Broadway.

The Trump administration fired the librarian of Congress, Carla D. Hayden, on Thursday, drawing swift outcry from Democrats. Dr. Hayden was the first African American and first woman to serve as the head of the institution.

Dr. Hayden, appointed as the 14th librarian of Congress by President Barack Obama in 2016, had overseen the library through President Trump’s first term. The library, the oldest government-run cultural institution in the United States, only rarely gets a new leader. Dr. Hayden was its first since 1987.

She was fired in a two-sentence email from Trent Morse, the deputy director of White House personnel. “On behalf of President Donald J. Trump, I am writing to inform you that your position as the Librarian of Congress is terminated effective immediately,” the email said, without citing a cause. “Thank you for your service.”

Something about how we all saw the ABC special. No idea what she’s slurring about but the filter is hilarious.

A Bay Area wildfire that formed part of the historic conflagration that burned a quarter million acres of California in 2020 was started by a murderer trying to dispose the body of a woman he killed.

Victor Serriteno, 33, of Vacaville was found guilty of multiple counts of murder and arson in Solano County Superior Court on Friday and faces 73 years to life in state prison, the county district attorney’s office announced.

Priscilla Castro, a 32-year-old mother from Vallejo, was last seen alive at about 6 p.m. on Aug. 16, 2020. That evening, she drove to Vacaville for a prearranged date with Serriteno, whom she had met on a dating app.

Her family grew worried when they were unable to reach her on her cellphone and, after noticing no activity on social media for two days, reported her missing. On Aug. 18, officers found Castro’s abandoned 2007 Mercedes-Benz C230 on the 100 block of Bush Street in Vacaville. The family searched the streets of Vacaville, handing out flyers and posting her image on social media, to no avail.

I mean, we all know the real reason for this is that he's been calling out the incompetent geriatrics at the top and trying to oust the worthless consultants , but how in the wide world of fuck did they come up with this comically inane excuse?

A born patrician who could effortlessly move between comedy and drama, Nancy Marchand brought a distant warmth to her work.

She displayed sharp comedic timing in films such as The Naked Gun and The Hospital, while lending her quiet authority in dramas like The Bostonians, Jefferson in Paris, and Sabrina. On television, she delivered two of her most iconic (and award winning) performances: the formidable Margaret Pynchon in Lou Grant and the ruthless Livia in The Sopranos.

Apart from film and television, Marchand was a distinguished presence on both the New York and London stage.

Their resistance to change is astounding.

Instead of listening to the voting public and trying to course correct, the DNC is doubling down on all of their failed positions that voters CLEARLY rejected in 2024.

It’s different with something like abortion rights because everyone has women in their family and this affects everyone.

On Friday, a judge scheduled a resentencing hearing for Erik and Lyle Menendez, who in 1996 were convicted of the murder of their parents, Kitty and José Menendez.

Los Angeles Superior Court judge Michael Jesic set the hearing to begin next Tuesday, May 13. It is expected to last for two days.

The brothers will have the opportunity to present their case for release. While they don’t dispute the fact that they killed their parents on August 20, 1989, they claim it was in self-defense, as their father’s alleged sexual abuse left them with no other choice.

A federal grand jury indicted a Wisconsin judge Tuesday on charges she helped a man in the country illegally evade U.S. immigration authorities looking to arrest him as he appeared before her in a local domestic abuse case.

Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan's arrest and ensuing indictment has escalated a clash between President Donald Trump’s administration and local authorities over the Republican’s sweeping immigration crackdown. Democrats have accused the Trump administration of trying to make a national example of Dugan to chill judicial opposition to the crackdown.

Prosecutors charged Dugan in April via complaint with concealing an individual to prevent arrest and obstruction. In the federal criminal justice system, prosecutors can initiate charges against a defendant directly by filing a complaint or present evidence to a grand jury and let that body decide whether to issue charges.

A California judge on Tuesday resentenced Erik and Lyle Menendez, making the siblings eligible for parole in the shotgun killings of their parents more than three decades ago.

The ruling from Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Michael Jesic came after months of delays, opposition from Los Angeles County's new top prosecutor and a series of witnesses who testified that Erik and Lyle had changed for the better and are now "different men," as a cousin, Anamaria Baralt, put it.

Jesic said they would be resentenced to 50 years to life, a prison term that will make them immediately eligible for parole. He said he did not believe they posed an "unreasonable risk" if released.

It's even better than I remembered. Just saw the third episode ("Valerie is Brought to Her Knees") where Paulie G writes the cruelest, most demeaning sex scene for her and Valerie almost breaks down on the set before Seth Rogen saves her. And Lisa Kudrow should have won an Emmy just for her performance where she has to audition for HBO and Paulie makes her say grotesque lines about her "old woman's pussy" to a roomful of nonplussed executives.

Lance Barber must be an incredible actor, because Paulie is so repellent and repulsive I can't see him as much else.

Hope there's never a season 3. Can't see how it could be done without Michael Morris.

This Wednesday is the premier of Season 37 and Phil's pants bulge. On CBS 9:30 EST after Survivor.

Those 14 teams will be competing on what is being called the “season of surprises” and will feature what the network is billing as “game-changing twists in every episode.” While that will include familiar game mechanics such as the Fast Forward and U-Turn, it will also debut a new wrinkle dubbed the Fork in the Road. When the teams arrive at the Fork in the Road during their very first leg in Hong Kong, they will “have to choose which direction and route they want to take to the Pit Stop, creating two parallel races where two teams will be eliminated.”

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

How embarrassing.

I don’t masturbate on a schedule but I would say I masturbate three or four times a week. I am 59 years old and I would also say that I don’t have a low sex drive nor a high sex drive but a medium sex drive.

Three teenagers are accused of kidnapping a man at gunpoint, driving him to a remote desert area an hour outside of Las Vegas, and stealing $4 million in cryptocurrency and other digital assets.

Belal Ashraf and Austin Fletcher, both 16 and from Pasco County, Florida; and a third teenager, face charges including robbery, kidnapping, and extortion, records said. A juvenile court judge previously certified Ashraf and Fletcher as adults.

The third teenager was no longer in the United States, a prosecutor said during Fletcher’s probable cause hearing Friday.

She says he grilled her about the Trump photos after the segment producer promised her they wouldn't talk about it at all. I remember watching that interview and thinking his tone was rather scolding, but apparently it was worse than what was shown on TV.

I'm very curious as to how Colbert will react to this. I can't remember him facing any type of negative publicity ever. If he decides to take the low road, Missus Kathy might be roadkill.

Bella Ramsey revealed in an interview with British Vogue that they sought out an autism diagnosis after a crew member said they recognized signs on set while filming season one. According to Ramsey, finally getting a diagnosis was “liberating.”

“I’ve spoken a bit about neurodivergence before, but I always for some reason didn’t want to say what it was,” Ramsey said. “I got diagnosed with autism when I was filming season one of ‘The Last of Us.'”

According to Ramsey, a member of the crew with an autistic daughter assumed Ramsey had it too, which prompted them to eventually seek out a formal psychiatric assessment and diagnosis. Ramsey described feeling like a “weirdo” and a “loner,” admitting autism was something they had “always wondered” about. Ramsey also experiences sensory issues common to people on the spectrum, and expressed “painful hyperawareness of other people’s micro-expressions and body language.”

The photo of her at the link is pretty scary.

Ummm… interesting?

Set on the brink of World War II in Berlin, the true story unfolds in a city turned into a powder keg after the assassination of a German attaché in Paris, which is wrongfully branded a “Jewish terrorist attack” by Nazi propaganda. Pettyfer plays Kai Lehmann, a young and impressionable police officer, who, alongside his superior Lieutenant Krützfeld, played by Owen, navigates the turbulent streets of Berlin as citizens turn violently against the perceived “enemy within,” descending on Jewish neighborhoods

Mélanie Laurent plays Krützfeld’s wife, Berta, who has to confront her own moral dilemma during the fateful night; Bradley James as ruthless chief of police Helldorf, and Steven Berkoff as Rabbi Goldstein.

Fred, Reggie, and Violet Buckle are busting their buckles with the exciting news from Poplar...

The 2025 Christmas special is in production as well as Season 15 for next season. Also in the works is a spin-off series which will be a 'prequel' to the series, set in WW2. Produced by the BBC, it is set to air in 2026. Also in the works is a 'CTM' movie, set 'overseas in 1972', and brings back some 'iconic' characters from the long-running series.

All of these projects are being written and produced by creator Heidi Thomas and executive producers Pippa Harris and Ann Tricklebank, with season 16 of the main show also in the works.

Thomas said in a statement: "The opening of new doors at Nonnatus House feels profoundly emotional, and yet just right."

"As the classic Call the Midwife series moves further into the 1970s, it also seems the perfect time for our much-loved regulars to take a short break from Poplar and test themselves in an unfamiliar landscape.

"The rise in hospital births, and changes in the NHS, have clipped their wings, and this is their chance to take flight and work out what really matters. Whilst the location of the film remains top-secret, I can say it is going to look absolutely fantastic on the big screen!"

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

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

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

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

Democrats are eying the “safest white boy” ahead of the 2028 election, Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett told “Urban View” hosts Clay Cane and Reecie Colbert in a clip from a town hall. She didn’t name names, but suggested the party already has “one specific candidate” in mind.

In the clip, the group is speaking about potential candidates when Crockett offers her insight. “It is, it is this fear that the people within the party, within the primary system, will have about voting for a woman because every time we voted for a woman, we’ve lost,” she explained.

“No, for real. And to be clear, when we talk about them, I can tell you that there is one specific candidate,” Crockett continued. “I had a donor on the phone with me telling me that all the donors are lining up behind that candidate. So I can tell, and I tell you, it’s not a black person nor a woman, okay?”

It's good that a staunch hetero man can be so open about his feelings.

Barbara Corcoran is ready to swim with new sharks.

On Thursday, May 8, the Shark Tank personality announced on Instagram that she is selling her New York City penthouse. The home, which Corcoran originally paid $10 million for when she purchased it in 2015, per The New York Times, has been listed for $12 million.

According to an Instagram post from the Corcoran Group — the real estate firm Corcoran founded —the home on Fifth Avenue is an 11-room duplex that includes four bedrooms, four bathrooms, and two half baths and is described as "what dreams are made of."

In her announcement referencing The New York Times' May 6 report, Corcoran explained that she and her husband, Bill Higgins, "have decided a one-story home would better suit us, and it’s time to begin our next chapter."

She also passionately recalled the story of when she first visited and first fell in love with the two-story property.

It had been sitting on my shelf for two decades without my opening it. Suddenly I got the urge.

First I was WAY handsomer than I ever thought at the time. Reading my classmates’ notes to me brought back so many nostalgic feelings. High school was a fun and cool time. I suddenly became popular when, in the summer after 10th grade, I got contact lenses, a short, neat haircut, and shaved my scraggly mustache. No one recognized me when I started 11th grade, and, after that, I got noticed and became popular. I went from perceived weirdo to center of attention, and I blossomed. I made so many friends because I was friendly—and as weird as that sounds—kids not in the central groups loved me because I acknowledged them. Kids who started at our high school in the middle of the four years were thankful that I served as a bridge to the rest of the students. I had honestly forgotten all of this until reading the yearbook notes. I wasn’t out, of course, and that was the invisible barrier between me and everyone else. I’ve only stayed in touch with two of my high school friends—and just barely, losing touch as time marches on. I’m on a Facebook page with my classmates, and it’s sad to see some dying. What’s worse is I don’t remember many of them!

I googled the guys who were considered the dreamiest in high school. Yikes! Time can be cruel, especially to straight men. Thankfully I still look 20!

Israel approved plans on Monday to capture the entire Gaza Strip and remain in the territory for an unspecified amount of time, two Israeli officials said, in a move that if implemented would vastly expand Israel's operations in the Palestinian territory and likely bring fierce international opposition.

Israeli Cabinet ministers approved the plan in an early morning vote, hours after the Israeli military chief said the army was calling up tens of thousands of reserve soldiers.

The new plan, which the officials said was meant to help Israel achieve its war aims of defeating Hamas and freeing hostages held in Gaza, also would push hundreds of thousands of Palestinians to southern Gaza, what would likely exacerbate an already dire humanitarian crisis.

It’s been reported many times by the CDC and other agencies that STI (sexually transmitted infection) rates have been increasing in recent years. New data highlights that the biggest increase in the US is in older people. Specifically, those aged over 65.

Compiled by Fairhealth, which tracks billions of health insurance claims across the US, and covering the period between 2020-2023, it found the STI rates jumped by 24 percent in those aged over 65 in this period. The data specifically covers commercially insured patients only.

There was also a 16 percent increase in STI rates for those aged 55-64. The only decrease was seen in those aged under 24.

The data did not look at sexuality. However, it’s known that gay and bisexual men are disproportionately likely to report having an STI.

According to the Fairhealth data, the infections showing the greatest increase were syphilis (29.4 percent), gonorrhea (16.8 percent) and HIV (14.1 percent).

Altman said young people use ChatGPT similar to how they’d use an operating system. They have complex ways to set it up and connect it to files and have fairly complex prompts memorized or saved somewhere.

“I mean, that stuff, I think, is all cool and impressive,” Altman said. “And there’s this other thing where, like, they don’t really make life decisions without asking ChatGPT what they should do.”

Earlier this year, OpenAI published a report saying “more than any other use case, more than any other kind of user, college-aged young adults in the U.S. are embracing ChatGPT, adding that more than one-third of 18-to-24 year olds use ChatGPT.

Any truth to this rumor? Supposedly, actress Teresa Graves from the '70s series GET CHRISTIE LOVE! was Whitney's bio mom. John Houston had an affair with her, and after Teresa died tragically, Cissy took Whitney and raised her as her own. I never did think Whitney resembled Cissy in the slightest. Teresa would have been around 15 when she gave birth to Whitney, which could explain a backdoor adoption as John Houston was in his 40s at the time!

ICON is appropriate for her.

[quote] Over the last few years, one styling trend has dominated the red carpet circuit more plainly than any other in recent memory. The ‘naked’ dress — a gown built on the suggestion of exposing its wearer’s nudity — quickly revealed itself as a surefire way for celebrities to grab headlines and has therefore enjoyed full-frontal support from a number of those in show business.

[quote]But any celebrity stylist bound for the South of France hoping to enlist the powerful tools of chiffon or sheer lace will need to think again after an amendment was spotted in the Cannes Film Festival dress code just 24-hours ahead of the event’s grand opening this Tuesday. According to the organizer’s website, “nudity is prohibited on the red carpet, as well as any other area of the festival.” The decision, which will have a direct impact on the ever-growing ‘naked’ dress trend, has been taken “for decency reasons,” it added.

Candice Patricia Bergen, 79

Born May 9, 1946, the beloved American actress won five Primetime Emmy Awards and two Golden Globe Awards as the title character on Murphy Brown (1988–1998, 2018). She is also known for her role as Shirley Schmidt on the ABC drama Boston Legal (2005–2008). In films, Bergen was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for Starting Over (1979) and for the BAFTA Award for Best Actress in a Supporting Role for Gandhi (1982).

Who knew chasing a little white ball could be the secret sauce? For Condi and Mary, hitting the golf course somehow stripped away all the high-powered seriousness and just let them be... well, golfers. There's nothing quite like a truly terrible slice or a putt that defies gravity in the wrong direction to break the ice and build some genuine, laugh-about-it-later camaraderie. All those hours navigating bunkers and debating club selection apparently did more for their friendship than any stuffy meeting ever could, proving that sometimes, bonding is best done while slightly frustrated on a perfectly manicured lawn.

Anyone know of any commercials with hot guys and suggestive, sexual or homoerotic undertones? The only main one I can think of the “ditch your shells” commercial. I believe I’ve also seen a few others with handsome naked men.

I'm thinking of men who appeared for several episodes or a season then disappeared like Mickey Trotter or Peter/Christopher Atkins etc.

My favorite or one of my favorites was Alex Ward/Joel Fabiani who appeared on Dallas in late 1980 and early 1981. He was so handsome. Pam should have gone for it and let him fuck her brains out.

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 measures include a $142 billion agreement to supply US defense equipment to Riyadh

The United States and Saudi Arabia announced on Tuesday the signing of a series of agreements worth $600 billion, according to the White House. The deals span areas ranging from access to critical minerals to energy security, and were unveiled during President Donald Trump’s visit to the kingdom — the first stop on his tour of the Gulf states.

Among the signed deals is a $142 billion defense pact under which Washington will supply its ally with advanced weaponry. In a fact sheet, the White House described it as “the largest defense sales agreement in history.”

The primary objective of Trump’s tour — his first overseas trip of this second term — was to secure lucrative trade deals that he could boast about upon his return, showcasing his negotiating skills. The Gulf states were quick to accommodate his desires, presenting the announcements with the utmost grandeur.

The announcement was made during a meeting in Riyadh between President Trump and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, following a lavish welcome ceremony at the airport and royal pavilion, complete with red carpets. “I really believe we like each other a lot,” the U.S. president said during his meeting with Bin Salman, the de facto leader of the Saudi kingdom.

Trump also took the opportunity to pressure his host to expand Saudi Arabia’s investment commitment to $1 trillion — a target he has referenced several times since taking office.

According to the White House, the defense agreement signed Tuesday will provide Saudi Arabia with “warfighting equipment and services from over a dozen U.S. defense firms.” It will include “air force advancement and space capabilities”; air and missile defense; maritime and coastal security; border security; and information and communication systems upgrades. The agreement also provides for “extensive training and support” to enhance the capabilities of the Saudi Armed Forces, the White House said in a statement.

It is not known whether the agreement includes the sale of advanced F-35 fighter jets, which Saudi Arabia has long sought. The Arab country is the largest buyer of U.S. weaponry but currently does not have access to those aircraft, which are available to Israel.

The United States has banned most refugees, including 20,000 people who were already ready to travel to the United States before President Trump took office. But Mr. Trump is making one exception.

Almost immediately after taking office, President Trump began shutting down refugee resettlement programs, slashing billions of dollars in funding and making it all but impossible for people from scores of countries to seek haven in the United States. With one exception.

The Trump administration has thrown open the doors to white Afrikaners from South Africa, establishing a program called “Mission South Africa” to help them come to the United States as refugees, according to documents obtained by The New York Times. Under Phase One of the program, the United States has deployed multiple teams to convert commercial office space in Pretoria, the capital of South Africa, into ad hoc refugee centers, according to the documents. The teams are studying more than 8,200 requests expressing interest in resettling to the United States and have already identified 100 Afrikaners who could be approved for refugee status. The government officials have been directed to focus particularly on screening white Afrikaner farmers.

The administration has also provided security escorts to officials conducting the interviews of potential refugees.

Some social media users argued that she “didn’t need to show her groin” to pull off the look.

Halle Berry’s seemingly no-panties, skin-baring Met Gala ensemble left little to the imagination, and social media users are divided over the star’s fashion choice. An X, formerly Twitter, user said, “You can literally see her snatch. Guuurl no,” while another added, “Yikes. She’s so beautiful… but that outfit is not good.”

“He showed me some sketches. I chose two that I really liked, so he made two dresses,” she explained. “The dresses were gorgeous.”

Berry added: “I could hardly choose. I asked LaQuan, ‘Which one would you like me to wear?’ So, I chose his favorite.”

[quote]Because their definition of transness is narrow, transmedicalists often exclude gender variant people like nonbinary, agender, and trans Two-Spirit people, though some believe nonbinary people can be valid if they experience gender dysphoria. At the most extreme end, some transmedicalists assert that nonbinary people are not actually trans and are instead “transtrenders,” people they accuse of using false claims of transness to draw attention on social media. Additionally, transmedicalists sometimes argue that nonbinary people who do not seek transition-related medical care delegitimize the fight for trans healthcare access in the face of conservative opposition ...

This does not look like a Final Destination movie.

I don’t think this ever really gets talked about. Why don’t trans people with gender dysphoria get psychological treatment instead of becoming medicalized for life with hormones and surgeries? If someone had schizophrenia and believed that they were a pirate, the doctor wouldn’t treat the condition by giving them an eyepatch and amputating their leg to replace it with a wooden one.

George Clooney made the story into a film.

Real Housewives of Atlanta has become an interesting case in Bravo’s lineup of Housewives programs and reality TV in general. Fans and producers saw RHOA Season 15 take a pretty intense nosedive in terms of viewership.

The Season 15 finale aired on September 10, 2023, over four months ago, and as of now, there’s still no word on when Season 16 might pick up filming. More importantly than that, fans still have no idea who might return for the new season.

Given how successful the Real Housewives of New York Season 14 soft reboot was, many have speculated on if Atlanta will get the same treatment. Andy Cohen admitted the show needs tweaking. In the meantime, Kandi Burruss has shared some thoughts on the matter.

In a recent Amazon Live, a fan asked Kandi what she could tell them about the anticipated RHOA Season 16. “Other than they still haven’t told everybody who they bringing back?” she asked. “They being real trippin’. They acting like people don’t have a life. People got lives around here. We gotta make plans for other things.”

In a separate Live, Kandi admitted, “They [Bravo] are still working on the new cast, so I can’t tell you anything.” She expressed that she would love to be able to tell fans more information but didn’t have anything beyond that. When these clips made their way to Instagram via @theneighborhoodtalk, fans had several opinions, none too great for Kandi.

“Kandi’s story has run its course. There’s no more we can get out of it and care,” one commenter opined. The commenter further expressed their desire for a full-on Atlanta reboot, similar to RHONY. Another commenter wrote, “She so boring, it’s time to give it up.” And one more commenter suggested Bravo get Kim Zolciak back on the show to renew interest.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta is expected to return to Bravo before the end of 2024.

He'll never be fired. He'll be forced to resign 'to be closer to his family.'

RICHMOND, Va. — Republican John Reid said Friday he will continue his campaign to be Virginia’s lieutenant governor and denied he had anything to do with a social media account containing sexually explicit photos that had prompted GOP Gov. Glenn Youngkin to call for him to quit the race.

Reid, the first openly gay man to run statewide in Virginia and a supporter of Youngkin, posted a video response to the governor's attempt to stymie his candidacy after the governor learned of the photos on a Tumblr account with a username matching the candidate’s Instagram handle. Reid said the account was a fabrication that comes as he grapples with increasing pressure to exit the race by members of his party.

“It’s predictable, but what I didn’t expect was the governor I have always supported to call and demand my resignation without even showing me the supposed evidence or offering me a chance to respond,” said Reid, a conservative talk-radio host. “I did not accept that, and I deeply resent it.”

The political theater comes a week before the May 2 start of early voting in Virginia’s primaries and only days after Reid's only Republican opponent dropped out.

The Tumblr account, which was first reported by The Richmonder, was active Friday morning but was deleted by that afternoon. The webpage had reposted photos of naked men, according to The Richmonder.

“The Governor was made aware late Thursday of the disturbing online content,” according to a statement released by a political group affiliated with Youngkin. “Friday morning, in a call with Mr. Reid, the Governor asked him to step down as the Lt. Governor nominee.”

In a video statement, Reid said he did not own the account. He also said his worst fear had been that someone would manufacture lies about him because of his sexuality.

I agree.

It's not that I feel unsafe, but I'm boycotting for other reasons including Trump's threats to Canadian sovereignty and the tariffs.

Besides, getting a burner phone isn't worth the hassle to me.

Samantha's flying suit (which she used in the last couple of seasons) from the TV show BEWITCHED sold at auction earlier this week for a whopping $40K at Julien's. With additional fees, the total came to $52K. No one knows who the buyer is. Someone from here, perhaps ?

The same costume was listed for auction at Julien's two years ago, with a starting price of $15K. It was expected to sell at $25K, but it ended up not selling at all.

Karoline Leavitt’s husband is not the father of her child. Even though the kid is named after her husband, Nicholas Riccio, the father of her child is a previous boyfriend.

This from a woman who preaches family values and wears a cross every time she is in front of a camera.

Her husband is aware that he is not the father of the child, despite everyone pretending otherwise.

Karoline is 27. Her husband is 59. No one is sure who the baby will look like. The real father or Karoline pre-nosejob(s).

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have been enjoying time away from the spotlight as of late, but the couple just resurfaced for a joint outing.

The couple were spotted on Sunday, May 11, enjoying a date-night in Philadelphia. Swift and Kelce, both 35, were seen standing next to each other, per fan photos shared via X.

The remains of Georgia twins Qaadir Malik Lewis and Naazir Rahim Lewis, both 19, were discovered by hikers at the top of Bell Mountain in Hiawassee, Georgia, on March 8.

According to a preliminary investigation, authorities believe the teens — who were found with gunshot wounds — died as a result of a "murder suicide," with autopsies pending and an investigation ongoing, per the news release.

The twins' family has been left shocked by the discovery, with relatives telling Georgia NBC affiliate WXIA that they thought the teens were visiting friends in Boston at the time.

Best part of of sex isn’t when the top nuts in you, it’s those last 15 seconds where you can tell the top is about to cum. He starts thrusting faster and harder. His last few thrusts are out of his control and he pushes forward with all of his strength and when he’s balls deep you can feel those tiny jerks he does with his hips. All of this is mind melting because he has zero control in those last 15 seconds. There’s not a force on earth that will be able to stop him from nutting.

I did a search and saw nothing yet.

I have become obsessed with working out (even buying tons of gym equipment for my house), with eating healthier, with weighing myself and with photographing myself to see if I’ve still got it.

Aging sucks for everyone but it really sucks when you’ve been considered attractive your whole life and now see the aging happening on your face and body.

I just try and put out a bit of positivity into the world, and I do want to reach as many people as I can. And, interestingly enough, my whole life, I’ve reached people in my khakis, and I never would’ve thought that I would reach even more people out of my khakis, out of the uniform.

It’s been a fun experience, and I’m very flattered, and everyone has been really kind. They really have.

This has added this new element to my message. It’s always been about animal conservation, positivity, all of that, but now health and fitness. And I really want to be someone to go out there and say, ‘Don’t compare yourself to anyone else. Be the best version of yourself.’

Always had a thing for Gray. The last time I saw him was when he turned up on The Nanny as a shrink. I always thought he was a poor man's Peter Beard, an early lust object. He was known for his confessional monologues, maybe a bit of an over-sharer. but always interesting He described exploring his "bi side" --

“I went to a homosexual bath club in Amsterdam and was “picked up” by this German photographer who was vacationing in Amsterdam. He was very aggressive and he made love to me like I was this beautiful woman. He took time with me with all this incredible foreplay so by the time he began to fuck me I was wide open and had this very intense climax. It was not a very private place, and people were watching…it was not my first homosexual experience.”

Does anyone have any stories about him?

Oh Heavenly Father, please bring justice to this lawless administration. Let Donald Trump rape Pam Bondi in a fentanyl-fueled rage and let her raucous pussy fester with sores. Let Marco Rubio engage in unprotected anal intercourse with an HIV positive man and get the AIDS. Oh Heavenly Father, we ask that you give Karoline Leavitt ovarian cancer, that Stephen Miller mistakes Kristi Noem for a dog and shoots her, and that Elon Musk overdoses on ketamine. Oh Jesus Christ, our lord and savior, we ask that JD Vance’s wife hides a bear trap between the sofa cushions and he bleeds out. We ask that Melania is buried alive next to Ivana for tax purposes. And finally, we ask that when Donald Trump is finally prosecuted by someone less inept than Merrick Garland, and when he is sentenced to the electric chair, that Mr. Abrego-Garcia gets the honor of flipping the switch.

Amen.

I really miss my mom today. I watched some old videos of her that I had and cried a little.

I wanted something to celebrate her with and looked for movies on Netflix. I came across Otherhood, and it was exactly what I needed. So, I'm sharing it with others who may need a warm hug too—lots of laughs and some tears. It's a great movie, and I’ll watch it every year on this day.

I miss you mom.

What did this 30-year local meteorologist do to get the ax with some vague pronouncements about ethical lapses? It’s the weather!

It seems like every day there are more and stranger stories of Republicans going off the rails.

Let's compile them here

A question posed on the Facebook group Gay and Fabulous has prompted hundreds of replies.

“Be brutally honest,” asked one member of the group. “What instantly makes a man unattractive?”

The most-liked answer was short and sweet: “Voting Republican” earned over 180 upvotes.

Other popular answers included “Narcissism or just overall bad attitude,” “How you treat others,” and “Being close-minded, lack of empathy.”

Many others offered variations on this theme, adding “control freak, manipulative,” or “condescending” as unattractive traits. Bigotry and prejudice are also unwelcome.

It seems that cigarettes are a massive turn-off for many, as “Smoking” was another well-liked answer, closely followed by “bad hygiene” or bad teeth. Long, untidy fingernails also seemed unpopular with many men.

Someone else mentioned cruelty to animals and another guy highlighted anyone who asks you to get rid of your pets. A third suggested that “Not caring about dogs” is a red flag for them.

He really has become an attention hungry mess. He looks ridiculous.

Sad!

Oh dear...

Respected singer and musician Michael Feinstein has responded to the Kennedy Center in DC pulling its Pride program. This includes events at which he was due to appear.

Feinstein, 68, is gay and a five-time Grammy-nominated recording artist. He has released 39 studio albums during his lengthy career.

On Wednesday, he posted his thoughts to Instagram. He made it clear that art is one way of bringing people together and unifying them. Censoring art does the opposite.

“The genesis of art is essential to our need to enlighten, entertain, educate and help ​each of us, as human beings​, connect to ​one another,” he wrote in a caption. “Art, especially during the 20th century in America, offered every soul an opportunity to express or experience the diversity of culture.”

“​Recently, I was invited to conduct the National Symphony Orchestra, perform and speak at a program entitled ‘A Peacock Among Pigeons: Celebrating 50 Years of Pride’ at The Kennedy Center, which celebrated the​ rainbow of influence​s ​upon art, music and ​our entire culture. ​This program was abruptly and unceremoniously canceled.”

“These recent Kennedy Center losses may well be defined in the years ahead, as the 21st century government-sanctioned censorship and silencing of creativity, regardless of value, based strictly on sexual orientation. Art, in its purest form, is where we suspend our differences to illuminate elements of the human condition.”

In an accompanying series of slides, Feinstein also denounced attempts to strip funding from PBS and NPR. He went on to suggest the next logical step is to ban all works written by queer people. He provided a lengthy list of some of his favorites, “so as to save the DC bureaucrats some time!”

It included songs by Freddie Mercury, Lionel Bart, Billy Preston, Donny Hathaway, Leonard Bernstein, Noel Coward, Cole Porter, Stephen Sondheim, and many others.

“Where will this end? Where will this music and these artists be seen and heard in the future?” he continued. “We must rally against the forces that conspire to deny, erase and eradicate our culture.”

Feinstein urged people to write or call lawmakers.

“Passivity is not progress. Artists and art need our support now more than any other moment in our lifetimes.”

Speaking after talks with Chinese officials in Geneva, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told reporters the two sides had agreed on a 90-day pause on measures and that tariffs would come down by over 100 percentage points to 10 percent.

Looks like Trump was looking for an off-ramp and blinked. Looks like the U.S. won't be raking in all those trillions of dollars like Trump said.

And of course...looks like manufacturing won't be returning to the U.S.

What was to be a celebration for one Nebraska family turned into tragedy as all four of them were found dead in what authorities are calling a murder-suicide.

The Nebraska State Patrol was dispatched to a residence in the morning hours of May 10. Upon their arrival at 9:45 a.m., deputies reported finding four deceased individuals inside the residence. All four were found with fatal knife wounds, per a press release from the department. A knife was also found at the scene.

A preliminary investigation led to the determination that it is likely the family patriarch Jeremy Koch, 42, killed sons Hudson, 18, and Asher, 16, as well as his wife Bailey, 41, before taking his own life.

There has been no motive revealed at this time for the killings, but the deaths remain under active investigation, with the Dawson County Attorney ordering autopsies on all four deceased individuals.

"The Nebraska State Patrol, the Dawson County Sheriff’s Office, Eustis Fire & Rescue, and the Dawson County Attorney extend condolences to all, across multiple communities, who will be affected by this incident," the press release states.

Bailey worked as a special education teacher at Holdredge Public Schools, while Jeremy ran a landscaping business.

After news of their tragic deaths, the school announced that it would be opening its doors on May 10 from 3:00 - 5:00 p.m. "for students and staff who wish to gather, grieve, and support one another."

"Our Holdrege school community is grieving after a tragic event that has deeply affected us all. Our hearts are with everyone impacted," the statement read. "We’re grateful for the strength and compassion of our community during this difficult time.

Cozad Community Schools, which the boys attended, opened its doors on Sunday from 2:00 - 4:00 p.m. for any students who "may be experiencing some difficulties," while sharing that additional support staff would be on hand for school's resumption today.

While there has been no motive revealed by the NSP at this time, a GoFundMe page created by Bailey Koch just days before their deaths outlines her husband's purported years-long struggle with "treatment-resistant depression."

While the page has since been removed, Panhandle: News Channel Nebraska reports that the post, titled "Jeremy’s Battle: Mental Health Support Needed," was a plea from the family after years of struggle.

"May is Mental Health Awareness Month, so here we are... making you aware," she wrote, per the outlet. In the post, she purportedly opened up about multiple suicide attempts by her husband after his diagnosis in 2009, including a near-fatal car crash. "When he awoke, he was destroyed his attempt hadn't worked," she wrote, per the news outlet.

She shared in the purported post that her husband's condition worsened in July 2024, when he struggled to get out of bed, impacting their business and finances. She wrote that they'd cashed out retirements, per Panhandle, and begun looking into selling business.

In March, according to the purported fundraiser, Bailey wrote that she awoke to her husband standing over her with a knife. She said she was able to talk him down and that he agreed to treatment, and was admitted for the fourth time to a mental health facility

While there, Bailey purportedly wrote that he underwent "a new round of electroconvulsive therapy," according to Panhandle's reporting. She said the treatments did not work, though, leaving her husband "a shell of himself."

"I have no pride left," she wrote on the page, per Panhandle. "Mental illness is taking my husband from me, and I'm begging you to open your eyes and see the reality that is this society's mental health crisis."

No more nudity or see-through gowns!

Is she trying to blink in Morse code? It's got to be a psychological sign of something.

In a press release, Rep. Joe Morelle said: “Donald Trump’s termination of Register of Copyrights, Shira Perlmutter, is a brazen, unprecedented power grab with no legal basis. It is surely no coincidence he acted less than a day after she refused to rubber-stamp Elon Musk’s efforts to mine troves of copyrighted works to train AI models.

In a post on Facebook over the weekend, the American Federation of Musicians union said that Perlmutter's firing "will gravely harm the entire copyright community."

Copyright issues have long been a thorn in the side of leading AI companies, including OpenAI. The company is currently fighting several lawsuits accusing it of copyright infringement during the training of AI models.

I have had friends who jerked off in their office, in the work bathroom, and even at a baseball game. I usually watch porn- though it is harder and harder to come to porn- mainly because it is so uncreative and boring. I try to think of old porn, usually past sexual experiences, or just a fantasy.

As the older Zoomers are hitting their 30s, and still suffering from 'delayed adolescence', they have decided that any job in a 'leadership position' is not for them.

Gen Z is 1.7 times more likely than previous generations "to avoid management roles to protect their well-being," according to research by the management consulting company Development Dimensions International.

Gen Z employees are also more motivated by social responsibility and doing work that makes them feel like they're helping others than simply showing up to collect a paycheck. That means even higher-paying roles are less attractive to Gen Z employees if the work doesn't feel meaningful.

Three men were arrested after allegedly hurling a landscaping rock at a Colorado woman, killing her as she drove just outside of Denver, authorities said Wednesday.

Alexa Bartell, 20, "was killed when a rock was thrown through her windshield as she was driving" north in the 10600 block of Indiana Street at about 10:45 p.m. in Westminster on April 19, according to a statement from Jefferson County Sheriff's investigators.

Bartell was the last of several cars "struck by large landscaping rocks in a spree that began shortly after" 10 p.m. that night near 100th Avenue and Simms Street in Westminster, officials said.

Joseph Koenig, Nicholas “Mitch” Karol-Chik and Zachary Kwak, all 18, were taken into custody at their homes in Arvada, according to the sheriffs statement.

The suspects were traveling in a black 2016 Chevy Silverado that night, though it wasn't immediately clear who was driving or threw the rock that killed Bartell, officials said.

"All three are suspected of throwing rocks and all three are currently facing charges of" first-degree murder by extreme indifference, according to the sheriff.

It wasn't immediately clear if the three men had hired or been assigned criminal defense lawyers to speak on their behalf.

Seems like a decent man. My heart goes out to him.

I recently saw Scarface for the first time and I was blown away by young Steven Bauer. I only know him as a character actor who occasionally shows up playing some aging playboy (like in Better Call Saul), but he was so gorgeous and magnetic when he was younger. Was he A-, B-, or C-list at his peak?

I was surprised, but not really, to learn he was the first of 3 famous men to father children with Melanie Griffith. Hell, she managed to fuck all of them in their prime too.

The geriatric posho sex queen Jilly Cooper wrote The Rutshire Chronicles. Decades too late, it will be made into a TV series by Dominic Treadwell Collins who made various soap operas and A Very English Scandal.

The cast includes Doctor Who David Tennant (Tony Baddingham), Poldark Aiden Turner Smith (Declan O’Hara), EastEnders Danny Dyer (Freddie Jones) and most key, Alex Hassell as Rupert Campbell-Black, as well as a bunch of actresses I don’t care about.

Campbell-Black is based on top shagger Andrew Parker-Bowles.

He is an egomaniac, arrogant, cocky & a narcissist.

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

In fourth grade I came back from lunch with a box of Lemonhead candies. We went home for lunch back then and I had stopped at a corner store and bought them.

During class I thought I was so clever hiding the box under my open book and sneaking one or two Lemonheads here and there. Then we were instructed to get an accompanying workout book out to go with the lesson and dummy me forgets about the box of candy and I open my flip top desk top and the Lemonheads go flying all over the aisle.

The teacher who appropriate for the time period looked like Mrs. Blankenship from Mad Men came flying over and almost fell on the Lemonheads that were scattered all over the floor. After she regained her balance, she pulled me out of my seat and sent me to the office.

I was called "Lemonhead" for a while after that.

I had not been in a church in over thirty years but today I impulsively went to a 6:00 p.m. service so I could offer myself as a volunteer for community services but only to find the all the pews empty!

I sat down in the second row not fifteen feet directly in front of the young pastor and asked him if service was cancelled. He shook his head, made introductions and then started.

It was a decent service, if not boiler plate but he was engaging with the main topic of miracles. He sounded a little shaky at first, and I was later amused when he told me he was only seventeen!

Because I was the only attendee he graciously took my questions and it became, really, a respectful dialogue.

I shared with that him I'd seen some weird, unexplainable, or even things one might consider miraculous thoughout my life. (I have also shared some of these stories on DL over the years, probably to my detriment!)

At some point I dropped my bottled water and when I reached down to get it could not find it. No big deal, I figured I'd get it later.

After the sermon I stood up, he came over and we chatted a while.

I just flat told him that, honestly, I've seen or experienced many unexplainable things all through my life and at sixty-four and retired I'm OPEN to the possibly of God. I made it clear I was not a believer but open.

I could see the wheels turning in his head. He had his big fish and was figuring out how to reel me in. Ha!

When it was time to leave I began looking for my water bottle that had rolled away expecting it under the first row is seats or perhaps even down by the alter because, like most big churches, the aisles are really big ramps and there was approximately fifty rows of fifty with fifty seats across. Im guessing.

Then he pointed to my water bottle which has rolled two ROWS UP!

"Isn't that weird? I asked, a little unnerved.

"Shouldn't it have rolled down, not up?

The pastor didn't say anything, he just had a confused look on his face.

I picked up the bottle that I had carried in with me, dropped it again and it rolled UP, again! We parted in silence and I went home.

WTF!?

What's happening DL?

P.S.

I'm going back tomorrow to test the bottle again.

Note: I apologize if this is a mess, I've been trying to work on my clarity but commas and quotes are hard for me. It's the best I can do. Please be kind.

I want to hear songs about your ex-partner. The ones that: – Make you think of your ex – Were specifically for your ex – Or were your favorite song with your ex

For me it’s “Sweet Child O’ Mine” by Guns N Roses. Was the ringtone I used for an ex-boyfriend years ago and every time the opening guitar comes on, I get “PTSD” thinking it’s him calling.

Susan and Adam Withers' two dogs, Apollo and Echo, got out of their condo through a front door with a broken latch and violently attacked their 73-year-old neighbor, Jo Ann Echelbarger.

In February, a Pickaway County jury convicted them of felony involuntary manslaughter and violations of the state's dog laws. The Witherses were sentenced to 14 to 19½ years in prison and can apply for judicial release after a decade.

"I wish I could give you more," Pickaway County Common Pleas Court Judge Matthew Chafin told them. Chafin recommended that they never be allowed to own pets when they get out.

Another piece of the world I grew up in is gone...

The Pittsburgh Pirates fan who fell more than 20 feet onto the field at PNC Park has been identified as Kavan Markwood, a 20-year-old former college football player.

Markwood was at the center of a haunting scene Wednesday in the seventh inning of the Pirates' game against the Chicago Cubs after he tumbled over a railing in right field, flipped multiple times and landed on the warning track. He was motionless and shirtless as EMS and the teams' trainers attended to him, and was eventually taken off the field on a stretcher.

Witnesses said he had been excited about the Pirates' rally and had taken his shirt off and poured beer on himself before his fall. It is unclear how he procured a beer at 20 years old.

They dated for a while in the early 90s. I know he's turned out to be trash, but back then he seemed classier.

It seems like a no brainer. I mean for fucks sake we have movies about legos.

Enough of this ensemble crap Let’s get this hog her own vehicle

The old gal hasn't been heard from in years. I assume she's in a memory care unit or something; her Wikipedia page says she's almost 90.

I really miss her wit and her declamations about etiquette (usually backed up by historical knowledge). Her kids have the Miss Manners column going without her, but it's sort of a zombie version that offers general advice just as much as etiquette. Plus it's not witty and doesn't have the historical depth the OG Miss Manners had.

At least do it inside of the car!

It’s gotten very good reviews. Florence P. is amazing and it’s nice to see Marvel trying something new.

I’m emotionally dead right now ( for real - no hyperbole) but the movie resonated with a lot of its audience and I think that’s great.

I plan to watch it again - in a theatre! - when I’m not so miserable.

I just saw an ad for this thing on Facebook and had to check Google to see if it's real. It is. From the videos I found on Youtube, it's been around from at least 2023, but I never heard of this gizmo. This is being offered as a talking companion for older adults - an interactive AI version of Alexa. It's about the size of a small lamp with a light inside and a screen about the size of an Ipad where exercise videos, music, etc. could be seen. Apparently it can be programmed to help elders do things like take their meds, exercise, remind them about appointments and generally keep them company.

It will take the initiative to interact with the human it's programmed to, using their name. It can even make jokes, ask about health ailments and offer sympathy or suggest calling family members.

Rumor Mill Heats Up As Season 50 Heads To A Close.

... but the sheriff wasn't informed until two days later. I copied this from Fox. Link is to a local outlet.

Deputies in California say they didn't hear about a deadly golf cart incident where Denver Broncos legend John Elway was reportedly behind the wheel until two days after it happened.

The Riverside County Sheriff's Office said in a press release it "received information" on Monday regarding a golf cart incident that happened on Saturday at The Madison Club in La Quinta. According to officials, Elway's agent and longtime friend Jeffrey Sperbeck, 62, fell off the back of a golf cart.

TMZ reported that Elway was driving the golf cart at the time and the two were leaving a Stagecoach after-party when the incident happened. Elway was reportedly the first person to call 911. Public records indicate Elway has a property that's a 10-minute drive from The Madison Club.

The Cal Fire spokesperson said that the Riverside County Sheriff's Office wasn't requested to respond to the incident "due to the call being medical in nature."

In a statement, the Riverside County Sheriff's Office said it would conduct an investigation into the death of Sperbeck "and will take appropriate action based on the outcome."

The Riverside County Sheriff's Office didn't respond to Fox News Digital when asked why the office didn't hear about the incident until two days later.

With Carol Burnett!

Shocked to see that he was never in a major film. Was this because Hollyweird/the fake news media discriminated against ventriloquists at the time?

They could have just had a leading lady who had a small person growing from her fist too. Problem solved.

I'm not talking about the people who the media or the studios tried make into stars but never succeeded (like Gretchen Mol or taylor Kitsch0: I'm talking about people who had genuine hits and then just couldn't handle the pressure and somehow imploded.

For example, Ezra Miller. Although he's best known for the Flash, he had genuine critical hits with we need To talk about Kevin and The Perks of Being a Wallflower, and had popular hits with the Fantastic Beasts films.

But he always behaved bizarrely in front of the press, and he had multiple scandals. He had talent and was very striking looking and charismatic, but he just could not handle being a movie star.

I recently learned that Diana was born at Park House, a house her father rented on the royal Sandringham estate in Norfolk before he took over the family title and moved to Althorp in 1975 (when Diana was 14).

The Spencers and her maternal side (her mom was also born at Park House) had lived at that house for decades and interacted with the royal family when they were there. Diana knew Charles from an early age and often played with Prince Edward and Andrew as children.

But somehow they make it out that Diana didn't know Charles or his siblings or the Royal Family very well. They've known Diana her entire life - except for 14-19 when she was at boarding school and living in Althorp or in Chelsea.

Am I the only one who thought she was new to the family? The way they portrayed it in The Crown was as if they were strangers and she 'dazzled' them when she was asked to attend a shooting party.

I'm going to say the entire character of Miles, ne Arnie.

Actor Tom Hardy has had his fair share of health issues lately, and the actor bleakly admitted that he doesn’t think they’ll get any better.

Hardy opened up about his health problems in a new interview with Esquire (on May 9th). He’s an actor in high demand who works a lot; after he finished promoting The Last Dance in December, he immediately began filming MobLand. After a while, that level of hard work can take its toll.

“I got dizzy today,” said Hardy. “I took a Sudafed and it’s starting to work so I feel better, but in the interviews I was sitting there, and you know when you feel not right, but you can’t tell someone you don’t feel right? Like, ‘Listen, if I pass out…”

Hardy then went into detail about some of his issues — explaining that he’s had “two knee surgeries now” along with a herniated disc in his back and sciatica. “And I have that… is it plantar fasciitis?” he revealed.

There was a thread about this that someone started in 2017 that is now closed so I decided to start a new thread about this topic today.

A regret- I wish I had sex with the MANY good looking guys that cruised me at the bars back in 1995- the would stand next to me and lean into me and lean forward to try to catch my glance. Sometimes the guy on my left and the guy on my right would be doing this type of cruising towards me at the same time. I never really cashed in on my so called curb appeal back then. I found it far too difficult to start a conversation with anyone back then. Now if I walked into a gay bar I would be completely invisible so those opportunities are LONG gone.

There are some on DL who call those who think the US democracy is already over as "fatalists," pointing to how Democrats have been winning here and there and to the next midterm election.

Fair enough... I'm interested in what these DLers think will happen in the (IMO unlikely) case that there will be a fair and peaceful election again. Suppose the Democrats win by a landslide in the midterm election and even take the presidency in 2028. Where do we go from there? How do we even begin to address that the Republicans actively worked towards the absolute dismanteling of democracy and the establishment of a fascist dictatorship? Like, what is a realistic scenario here? Or, is it another four years of Democrats playing nicely by the rules, talking about unity, only for the Republicans to destroy democracy completely in their next attempt? What do you do if a significant part of the political establishment, media, and the population decided that they want a racist, Christian nationalist dictatorship?

Who is this freak who keeps making posts about MAGA chicks having their uteruses ripped out through their vaginas? Is this a Mother’s Day thing?

The Duke of Sussex had appeared in court last month to appeal the decision to downgrade his taxpayer-funded security arrangements while in Britain, describing the country as “central to the heritage” of his children.

On Friday, the Duke lost his appeal challenging the decision. High court judge Geoffrey Vos said the arguments put forward on behalf of Harry were “powerful” and said it was “plain” he had felt “badly treated” by the system. But, he added, there was no legal basis to challenge Ravec’s decision.

“The conclusion in my judgement… was that the Duke of Sussex’s appeal would be dismissed.”

JEROME, Fla. (WFLA) — The partial remains of an 89 year-old Florida man were found in one of the bears Florida Fish and Wildlife officials captured earlier this week following the first deadly bear attack in the state’s history.

On Friday, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) officials said preliminary findings confirmed that a 263-pound male bear contained the remains of Robert Markel, a Florida resident who was found dead Monday morning. The bear’s DNA was found on Markel, inside his trailer and on the dog’s body.

Investigators said there was evidence indicating a physical encounter between the bear and Markel near his trailer, a dog recently killed by a bear near Markel, and signs that the bear had entered the trailer itself. However, the order of events remains unclear, according to the FWC.

The Collier County Medical Examiner is still working to complete their investigation.

Just after 7 a.m. on May 5, Markel was found dead nearly 100 yards from his dog in Jerome, Florida, which is located south of Big Cypress Wildlife Management Area. After Markel’s dog was found dead in the front driveway, a search ensued for the man.

A 911 call from Markel’s granddaughter to the Collier County Sheriff’s Office detailed the moments when family members discovered the 89 year-old missing from his trailer, along with signs of disturbances likely caused by bears. His granddaughter told operators that the bear had entered his residence while he was sleeping.

I started another thread about him being rejected by someone he had a date with. He mentioned having spent $50 on Uber fare to meet that person. I have no doubt he was willing to spend all of that money because he was looking for his TOP in Shining Armor.

I’ve outgrown my days of post-gym protein drinks for “gains”. I also wake up without an appetite for a proper breakfast. Is there any benefit to drinking old-people shakes like Ensure for breakfast relative to having some coffee with toast and fruit?

I was a Carnation Breakfast devotee for a couple years, but I’m an itinerant and I travel a lot from city to city. I can’t always find it at local supermarkets.

What are your favorites? Are they worth their weight, or would one be worse for wear?

They both seem like they've been so invisible as ex-presidents compared to someone like Jimmy Carter.

I'm sure they've been much better than Nixon, who was always trying to rehabilitate his image, or Ford and Reagan, who both tried to cash out as much as possible. And certainly they're not painting dogs like W. But what do they do with their time?

I LOVE Australian horror films and this one looks EPIC.

Roman Catholic cardinals will begin their secret conclave to elect the new leader of the global Church on May 7, the Vatican said on Monday, confirming what a source had previously told Reuters.

The date was decided during a closed-door meeting of cardinals at the Vatican, the first since the funeral of Pope Francis on Saturday.

Some 135 cardinals, all under the age of 80 and from all corners of the world, are eligible to take part in the vote for the next head of the 1.4-billion-member Church, which is beset by concerns over its finances and divisions over doctrine.

In what may be the most valuable gift ever extended to the United States from a foreign government, the Trump administration is preparing to accept a super luxury Boeing 747-8 jumbo jet from the royal family of Qatar -- a gift that is to be available for use by President Donald Trump as the new Air Force One until shortly before he leaves office, at which time ownership of the plane will be transferred to the Trump presidential library foundation, sources familiar with the proposed arrangement told ABC News.

The gift is expected to be announced next week, when Trump visits Qatar on the first foreign trip of his second term, according to sources familiar with the plans.

Trump toured the plane, which is so opulently configured it is known as "a flying palace," while it was parked at the West Palm Beach International Airport in February.

I never knew she was into muff diving.

I have a long-time close friend who's in her early 60s, who lost her only child (a 25 year old son whom she treasured) to COVID in the summer of 2020 (he did have a respiratory issue from when he was born), and then lost her husband (64) to cancer a year ago last week. Needless to say, losing her son completely toppled her life and then - as she was slowly putting it back together again with her husband - her husband's diagnosis in the summer of 2023 was a major setback. I haven't seen her since the diagnosis (she completely secluded herself from the rest of the world to take care of her husband), and was out of town when she had a last-minute 'memorial service' last summer. However, I've reached out to her via text (where our conversations are brief) and I've tried to make plans for lunch / dinner on a weekend; we come close but then she backs out about an hour before. She's in a sad place (she has also posted on Facebook during holidays or birthdays that she doesn't celebrate them any more since the death of her son). I let her know when she's ready to meet, to let me know and we'll meet anywhere or anytime - she appreciates that.

Today, Mother's Day, she posted pictures of her son and husband, with a heartfelt message of how she remembers the two of them making Mother's Day so special for her, and even though she can no longer spend the day with them or celebrate the day, she will get through the day remembering them. It was straightforward and clear...it's a sad day for her without these two.

I, and many others, acknowledged her posting with a heart (or hug) emoji. Then there were the idiots who obviously didn't understand the message or didn't even read it - and wished her a "Happy Mother's Day", "Hope you enjoy your special day!" and "Have a Great Mother's Day!"

Do these other friends of hers (some who have been friends with her for a long time, and met when their children were born) - at last count there were 13 who posted these insensitive messages - have any idea what she's going through ? Didn't they read her message ?How can people be so thoughtless ? If they need to post something, can't they just post "Thinking of you today" or "Sending you love" ?

Sorry for the rant - it broke my heart to see these messages posted, when she has let the world know what a tough time she's going through today and for the past year.

Who are some famous people you think are/were sophisticated intellectuals? Or, who are some famous people you look up to on how to think, act, dress, etc. And why.

According to a segment on CBS Sunday Morning, robo-taxis are on the rise across America, as they expand into larger territories. It looks like it may be giving 'ridesharing' a run for its money. Honestly, I can't imagine it being a success in RI or MA where we have some of the worst drivers in the country, and some of the most bizarre roadways.

Has anyone here used a robo-taxi for any rides ? Would anyone consider using one instead of a rideshare ?

I’m going to LaJolla in June for my brother’s wedding. He and his fiancé live there - she is from Bakersfield and she was NOT having her wedding there.

I’m older-53- so not really interested in clubs but are there any nice, gay friendly bars to just have a drink? I’ll need a break from family.

I’m trying to convince my brother to incorporate Dr. Seuss into the wedding somehow (maybe something as simple as a tabletop figure) as my brother grew up in Springfield, MA and now lives in LaJolla, exactly the same as Seuss did.

The Frogs were tired of governing themselves. They had so much freedom that it had spoiled them, and they did nothing but sit around croaking in a bored manner and wishing for a government that could entertain them with the pomp and display of royalty, and rule them in a way to make them know they were being ruled. No milk and water government for them, they declared. So they sent a petition to Jupiter asking for a king.

Jupiter saw what simple and foolish creatures they were, but to keep them quiet and make them think they had a king he threw down a huge log, which fell into the water with a great splash. The Frogs hid themselves among the reeds and grasses, thinking the new king to be some fearful giant. But they soon discovered how tame and peaceable King Log was. In a short time the younger Frogs were using him for a diving platform, while the older Frogs made him a meeting place, where they complained loudly to Jupiter about the government.

To teach the Frogs a lesson the ruler of the gods now sent a Crane to be king of Frogland. The Crane proved to be a very different sort of king from old King Log. He gobbled up the poor Frogs right and left and they soon saw what fools they had been. In mournful croaks they begged Jupiter to take away the cruel tyrant before they should all be destroyed.

"How now!" cried Jupiter "Are you not yet content? You have what you asked for and so you have only yourselves to blame for your misfortunes."

The new guy knew his pope name right away even though he hadn't been expecting to be picked. I wonder if it's something that these cardinals daydream about. Or maybe it comes up at parties (I assume cardinals go to parties occasionally), like when I was in college and we'd talk about what we'd name our kids.

I would consider picking Aloysius just because it rhymes with "He's so delicious."

You better watch out.

Having the time of his life with his boys

Yes, seriously. Apparently some dudes are so afraid of looking "woke" that they ape Jay Leno's chin.

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

A little over a year ago, Jack realized he didn’t like his face anymore. The 23-year-old from Chicago had just started working as a broadcast journalist at a local station, and being on television meant watching himself on television. “I didn’t find myself totally attractive, and, man, I wished there was something I could do to make myself attractive.” Online, he stumbled across Dr. Benjamin Caughlin, who has made his Chicago-based practice entirely chin-and-jaw-centric, trademarking such procedures as the “Cheekago” (buccal-fat-pad sculpting combined with jawline contouring) and “the Face BBL” (which moves fat from one part of the face to the other). Caughlin’s patients, he says, are 41 percent male these days — many of them hoping for a more chiseled look. (Last year, he claimed responsibility for the comedian Matt Rife’s jawline, a claim Rife has repeatedly denied.)

During their initial consultation, Caughlin explained to Jack that while you can’t do much about, say, a big forehead — Jack had always been insecure that his was on the larger end of the spectrum — there’s absolutely something you can do about a weak chin for about $12,000. “He told me I was a perfect candidate for a chin implant,” Jack says. He went into his procedure imagining himself reemerging as an Austin Butler type. “Obviously, he’s a movie star, and I’ll never be as attractive as Austin Butler, but we have similar proportions,” he tells me.

What men are aspiring toward, Dr. Lara Devgan, a Park Avenue plastic surgeon, tells me, is what she describes as the “Disney Prince or Superman aesthetic.” And they often have an actor in mind. Among the celebrities most cited as inspiration in recent years, surgeons say, are Henry Cavill (famous for playing Superman) and a “young Brad Pitt.”

Dr. Douglas Steinbrech, a surgeon in New York, makes a point to count his top-requested faces annually. Last year’s included Chris Hemsworth, Ryan Gosling, David Beckham, and Cristiano Ronaldo, all of whom have especially snatched jawlines. Dr. Garth Fisher, of Extreme Makeover fame, believes men are more hesitant about upper-face procedures lest they wind up looking like Robert Redford, Kenny Rogers, or Matt Gaetz, who has what is referred to in the industry as a “Spock brow.”

This is all coming at a time when — after a brief era in which men in the public eye flirted with androgyny — rugged masculinity is back in style. “People want to see men. Fey is out. Men are in,” one New York talent manager told me recently. Even Timothée Chalamet isn’t really a twink anymore.

Trump gets snubbed.

Macron being so classy with Zelensky while Trump being an unwelcome odiferous ghoul in his blue suit when the dress code was black.

For fuck's sake, every time Biden tripped over a word, it was headline news. But Trump says THIS about reopening Alcatraz and the media doesn't even blink an eye:

"Well, I guess I was supposed to be a movie maker, and we start with the movie making and it will end. I mean, it represents something very strong and very powerful in terms of law and order. Our country needs law and order. Alcatraz, I would say, is the ultimate, right? Alcatraz and Sing Sing and Alcatraz, uh, the movies, but uh, right now it's a museum. A lot of people go there, believe it or not. A lot of people go there. It has the, uh, most violent criminals in the world, and nobody ever escaped. One person almost got there, but they, as you know, the story, they found his clothes rather badly ripped up, and it was, uh, a lot of shark bites, a lot of problems. Nobody's ever escaped from Alcatraz, and just represented something, uh, strong having to do with law and order. We need law and order in this country, and so we're going to look at it, some of the people up here are going to be working very hard on that, and uh, we had a little conversation. I think it's going to be very interesting..." And it goes on.

What in the actual fuck? Can you imagine if Biden had said something like "a lot of shark bites, a lot of problems?" He'd have been crucified for it and removed from office.

I have about 50 vinyl records of classical music taking up space in my closet. They belonged to my grandfather.

I'm thinking of dumping them, but are they actually worth anything?

It would be nice to make a few bucks off of them, but do people even use these any more?

And where would be the best place to sell them?

It's such a wide variety of records, such as Bach, Bethooven, Tchaikovsky, Irving Berlin, Camelot, etc.

Also, they're most definitely not in mint condition.

No, I don't have a photo, because I was too flummoxed to get myself together.

I went in to make a clothing donation, and the guy who was taking the items and handling the receipts stepped out, and my mouth fell open. He was the most gorgeous thing ever. I know I must have made a fool of myself, because I started to stutter and was acting weird, and couldn't take my eyes off of him.

Just thought I'd share.

Detailed Army plans for a potential military parade on President Donald Trump's birthday in June call for more than 6,600 soldiers, at least 150 vehicles, 50 helicopters, seven bands and possibly a couple thousand civilians, The Associated Press has learned.

The planning documents, obtained by the AP, are dated April 29 and 30 and have not been publicly released. They represent the Army's most recent blueprint for its long-planned 250th anniversary festival on the National Mall and the newly added element — a large military parade that Trump has long wanted but is still being discussed.

The Army anniversary just happens to coincide with Trump’s 79th birthday on June 14.

Sucks. He was hot as fuck.

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.

Brunch? Bingo? Church? Bathhouse ?

I wonder what Brian Baranski is doing this beautiful Sunday morning

As Tom Hardy grows older, he's facing the bodily breakdowns that come along with aging with as much grace as one can.

While chatting with Esquire in a brand new profile, the beloved actor shared a candid glimpse at his many "bodily ailments," telling interviewer Miranda Collinge that he's come to accept that things are "not going to get better."

The 47-year-old detailed his painful medical history, involving two knee surgeries, a herniated disc, sciatica, and plantar fasciitis, to start. "Where did that come from? And why? Why?!" he said in frustration.

TVLine marks the 10th anniversary of the infamous split screen farewell scene.

Forgive me if this isn’t the only post on this subject. My search on “Boise” didn’t turn it up.

Tom Cruise — At 62, all of his action hero characters would have been forced to retire. For example, field agents like Ethan Hunt would have been forced to retire in their 50s.

Helen Mirren played a 35 year old Catherine the Great in a miniseries. She was 74, Catherine died when she was 67.

This queen would be a TOTAL datalounger- I'm sure he had plenty of pointless bitchy things to say about the wives of the male celebrities who wore his outfits.

The title potentially makes this homespun crime drama sound like an erotic thriller, which it couldn't be any further from. It is one of my dad's favorite movies, and I had only seen it once when I was a teenager, but I didn't remember a lot of it. I've read a couple of novels by Andre Dubus ("House of Sand and Fog" being one of them, which was so devastating that I will never read it again) but never read the story this film was based on.

I decided to nab a copy of the Blu-ray that was recently released by Imprint Films and give it another go-around, and... wow. Also, yikes? I found it absolutely riveting, but extremely unpleasant. Stellar performances from Tom Wilkinson and Sissy Spacek—possibly her best performance that I've seen. A very simple story, but a very human one. The ending truly made me feel sick to my stomach. I rarely come across a film that triggers such a reaction in me.

My sexual history is pretty much non-existent. But one of the few times someone was interested in me, he was a very, very beautiful man. But the way in which he demanded I agree to sex on that basis alone put all my hackles up.

I don't regret turning the experience down, BTW.

I think the absurd canard that the French think Jerry Lewis is a genius has been discredited. But … where did it COME from in the first place?

Was there a poll in France in which Lewis came out on top? Did he win a string of awards? Who decided that the French admired Lewis?

Anyone … ?

[quote]“The sad thing for me, especially in this political climate, is that Misfits was the place for ‘queer’ ‘trans’ and ‘nonbinary’ folks,” read Thursday night’s post, seemingly written by Misfits co-owner David Elderton.

This was excised from the 2011 documentary "Hit So Hard" about the band's drummer, Patty Schemel. There are some real gems here if you want a throwback to the mid-'90s. Courtney and co. are throughout obviously, but Gavin Rossdale, Thurston Moore, Stephen Malkmus, and Amanda De Cadenet make appearances too. Courtney is obnoxious as ever but she's funny. Her hair looks consistently horrifying. You can almost smell the heroin and cigarettes through the screen.

Why? Do they masturbate? Do they get aroused listening to confessions?

Also known as "The Return of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre", this batshit sequel/quasi-remake turns 30 this year. It marked Renee Zellweger and Matthew McConaughey's first major roles. Critics compared Leatherface in it to Divine. The family orders takeout pizza instead of eating human BBQ. No one actually dies by chainsaw. Debbie Harry recorded a song for it with Robert Jacks, a gay Texas radio host who played Leatherface. Also, the character of Heather is fucking hilarious and should be a DL icon. It is my favorite sequel in the entire franchise.

Apollo Fates takes it like a champ

This silent film by Paul Leni is ostensibly the progenitor of the modern haunted house movie as a we know it. I watched it earlier this evening and found that it felt surprisingly modern given how old it is. A good mixture of spookiness and comedy. Do any of the later adaptations hold up as well?

How was it?

Great companion in a suit-n-tie or tuxedo for a dinner event or the symphony. Also great as a travel companion. Write me for info on complete services and stats.

Well, I’ll be damned.

There’s an up-and-coming Country singer whose music I like. I like his backstory. A Midwestern guy who joined the Navy (from a family of people who served in the Navy), started posting videos his songs while training in Florida with nothing else to do, went viral, got management/signed, played done shows, now is ready to release his first full album. It’s nice in an organic seeming way.

I…kinda have the hots for him, but I kinda don’t? He doesn’t ping at all — obviously — but he’s more sexy than handsome to me. I kinda feel like he’s what Zach Efron has been trying to look like with all the plastic surgery. He just looks manly. I think if he doesn’t keep up the skin care/hair care/work out regimen he’s gonna be a chubster when he hits forty. He already has NFL Head Coach Face.

Still, for now he’s young and hot and solidly built. Nice eyes too.

Had my annual physical and while the doc was doing it I asked if he was seeing a lot of flu patients this year.

He stopped and sighed. After a second he said, "SO much flu. I don't get it. We try to give good information and free flu shots and it's like no one is interested any more. And it feeds on itself. The more people get it, the more people get it from them and on and on."

I don't feel sorry for MAGA and RFK loons who get sick, but I really do feel for the doctors and nurses doing their best who still have to treat these yutzes.

When Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman was hospitalized for depression in 2023, many on Capitol Hill celebrated it as a moment of courage and a willingness to be open about mental health struggles.

Now, a startling picture of relapse and its associated cost is being associated with him after a deeply sourced profile on Fetterman was published Friday in New York Magazine’s Intelligencer by reporter Ben Terris.

Democrats on Capitol Hill have yet to comment. But the shock from the profile’s reporting was evident across social media and on political talk programs.

America's favorite funny lady, Carol Burnett, turns 92 today. Since 1989, her birthday has always been tinged with the loss of one of her best friends in Hollywood.

Lucille Ball - died 36 years ago today, on Burnett's 56th Birthday. Shortly after she found out Lucy died that morning, she changed her birthday plans with her three daughters, suggesting a more 'low key' lunch at her home, as she didn't feel like being seen in public celebrating on that emotional day. However, shortly after the change of plans, she received her annual birthday gift from Lucy - a big, beautiful bouquet of spring flowers she sent every year on her birthday (the florist said Lucy called and ordered them from her hospital room two days earlier). Burnett had said when she received the flowers, she realized Lucy was sending her a message - go out and celebrate your birthday ! She took it as a message from her friend saying, 'This day is to celebrate you - you can mourn my passing tomorrow!' So she and her daughter changed plans once again, and headed out to Lunch in a popular LA restaurant, to meet and greet her friends and fans that day. She always called it 'bittersweet'.

[quote]Before long, Fetterman began repeating himself, shouting and questioning why “everybody is mad at me,” “why does everyone hate me, what did I ever do” and slamming his hands on a desk, according to one person who was briefed on what occurred.

[quote]In the 2024 letter to Dr. David Williamson, Jentleson warned that Fetterman was not seeing his doctors, had pushed out the people who were supposed to help him stay on his recovery plan and might not be taking his prescribed medications. Jentleson also said Fetterman had been driving recklessly and exhibiting paranoia, isolating him from colleagues.

[quote]“Overall, over the last nine months or so, John has dismantled the early-warning system we all agreed upon when he was released,” Jentleson wrote. “He has picked fights with each person involved in that system and used those fights as excuses to push them out and cut them off from any knowledge about his health situation.”

“Under this deal, it will now be cheaper to import a U.K. vehicle with very little U.S. content than a USMCA compliant vehicle from Mexico or Canada that is half American parts,” said Matt Blunt, president of the American Automotive Policy Council.

The new pope gets to choose his own papal name. Which one should the next one choose?

Most of the likely names would be repeating those of the last popes of the last 150 years (that's just what they do). But there almost certainly won't be a Pope Pius XIII, because it's considered an unlucky number in so many world countries.

The fuck

A video of a Rochester, Minnesota, mom appearing to hurl a racist slur at a Black child on a city playground earlier this week has been circulating widely across social media, garnering criticism from many viewers and a half-million dollars in donations from others.

The online donations poured in alongside notes expressing far-right and racist sympathies, prompting a decision to mute comments by the Christian crowdfunding service hosting the campaign, which has been used to raise money for Daniel Penny, Luigi Mangione and Kyle Rittenhouse. The woman’s fundraiser prompted the local NAACP chapter in Rochester to start its own crowdfunding campaign for the family of the 5-year-old, who the group said had been called the n-word multiple times. The NAACP chapter had raised more than $320,000 by Saturday afternoon. “Shockingly, the woman responsible for this hateful act has launched a fundraising campaign for herself,” the Rochester NAACP said. “... Many of the comments from her supporters celebrate and justify her hate. We’ve been asked by countless community members how they can help. This campaign is our answer.”

The Wikipedia articles you use to do research and find basic info on your favorite games might include propaganda. At least, according to Ed Martin, acting attorney for the District of Columbia.

Last week, a letter from Martin sent to the Wikimedia Foundation, which oversees Wikipedia, was obtained by The Free Press . The letter includes a flurry of accusations against Wikipedia, with Martin claiming that the Wikimedia Foundation is "allowing foreign actors to manipulate information and spread propaganda to the American public."

The letter effectively serves as a warning to the Wikimedia Foundation that Martin is taking aim at its Section 501(c)(3) status, meaning he's threatening to attempt to revoke the Wikimedia Foundation's status as a tax exempt non-profit charitable organization.

Martin's letter is just the latest in a slew of similar attacks against individuals, organizations, and publications that voice opinions or viewpoints contrary to those of Martin and the Trump administration.

Martin recently penned similar letters threatening Democratic lawmakers , a scientific journal for chest doctors , and even seemingly anyone who criticizes the Department of Government Efficiency (which, to be clear, is not a legitimate department of the U.S. government, those can only be established or dissolved by Congress , not executive order).

As The Free Press points out, it's unusual for an attorney to be launching an investigation into an organization's tax exempt status since that falls under the domain of the IRS, which itself has threatened to revoke the tax-exempt status of Harvard over its refusal to comply with federal demands for its curriculum and handling of pro-Palestinian protestors on campus.

Organizations have to meet strict criteria to get Section 501(c)(3) status, including a rule that an organization "may not attempt to influence legislation as a substantial part of its activities and it may not participate in any campaign activity for or against political candidates." The IRS's requirements also limit how much political and lobbying activity a Section 501(c)(3) organization can participate in.

The Wikimedia Foundation is not a political organization. It describes itself as "a nonprofit charitable organization dedicated to encouraging the growth, development and distribution of free, multilingual content, and to providing the full content of these wiki-based projects to the public free of charge."

The content of Wikipedia pages is verified and overseen by some 260,000 volunteers from around the world who edit content based on Wikipedia's core content policies. While Wikipedia's editors don't always catch inaccurate information, multiple studies have shown that Wikipedia pages are more accurate than they're often given credit for.

Of course, Wikipedia has been a battleground for political skirmishes over the years, with editors of differing ideologies dueling over the presentation of public figures and historical events, but the Wikimedia Foundation itself is not inherently political. If there was genuine concern about the Wikimedia Foundation violating Section 501(c)(3) requirements, that investigation should be handled by the IRS, not Ed Martin.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents raided multiple restaurants in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday, including one owned by the husband of CBS News anchor Norah O’Donnell.

Chef Geoff’s, an American eatery founded by O’Donnell’s husband Geoff Tracy, had its Northwest D.C. location near American University raided by nearly a dozen ICE agents.

“There was no one detained or arrested that I’ve heard of but regardless of that fact, disrupting food service during lunch hours while restaurants are open is alarming,” he said. “There is a sense of fear… Immigrants make up a large amount of workers in our restaurants in the district.

If you’re looking to get a Big Mac or some salty fries from a McDonald’s in Fairfax County, Virginia, you’d better bring your ID.

According to NBC affiliate WRC, one McDonald’s location is only allowing customers over the age of 21 inside. They must ring a doorbell to be let inside.

The new policy comes after repeated fights from teenagers, coming from a nearby school, Thomas Edison High School. Located just outside of Washington, D.C., students were fighting, cursing and standing on the restaurant tables, management said.

Now, a sign is posted on the fast food chain’s front door, reading, “Due to repeated incidents of student violence, the location is temporarily closed for dine-in service to anyone under 21 years of age.”

“This decision was made to protect our staff, our guests, and our community,” the sign said at the bottom.

One Fairfax County customer said she is OK with the rule, as she has experienced a group of young people inside this restaurant disturbing other customers dining inside.

She told WRC that the students had “no respect” and “no discipline,” saying they were smoking and drinking side. They were “off the chain,” she added.

WRC reported that the policy is only in effect Monday through Friday. Kids under 21 are only to be accompanied by adult chaperones. Groups are limited to up to four children per adult.

McDonald’s told WFLA.com that all Fairfax County customers are still welcome to place orders via their mobile app.

Have any of you had bone spurs? From what I have read, Dump's was supposedly on his heal, but mine is on the top of my left foot, just below the big toe. Did you have surgery to correct it? I wear support insoles that help quite a bit, but I can see that I will likely need surgery down the road. Not sure if it would be inpatient or outpatient. Also, if I prolong getting surgery, could that make it worse to the point where surgery wouldn't help?

I used to think he was a cool straight guy, this generation's offbeat leading man like Bruce Dern, taking on interesting projects.

Then he became everywhere: a million interviews, a million photoshoots, attempting to wax poetic but just sounding pompous. The repeated talk of him and Aimee Lou Wood being "soulmates," the endless analysis of his White Lotus character ... dude, you're just an actor and it's just a job.

But the final straw was his offscreen douchey wardrobe of unconstructed jackets worn over scoop-neck T-shirts like a Kohl's version of Miami Vice. Enough.

Yes, I've had sufficient of Walton Goggins.

A month ago, I asked if anyone played special music for the start of Spring, Lent and Easter. I mentioned some of the music I played in my store over those six weeks, and also got some great suggestions from you guys to add to my playlist next year.

Now it's a question about Spring II: after Easter, which covers Mother's Day.

When I had my gift store, the week of Mother's Day I played soundtracks about women and children: The Sound of Music, Gypsy, Mame, and Hello Dolly (the B'way soundtrack with Carol Channing, singing 'Motherhood'). Made the atmosphere festive, and the customers would spend more time in the store and spend more money (that was the whole idea).

But then came Friday / Saturday / Sunday...

I have to say the one album which really stood out and had quite an emotional impact was Olivia Newton-John's "Warm and Tender". All weekend long I would devote to this CD - playing it over and over again in the store. More often than not, it would touch people emotionally, and could have female customers crying as they picked out cards and gifts. They would tell me, 'It just touches me...such a beautiful album for Mother's Day.' Songs that really got them crying was 'Rocking', 'The Flower That Shattered the Stone', 'Rock-a-Bye Baby', 'Jenny Rebecca', and 'Reach Out for Me / Brahms Lullabye' (they would sob when they heard this one). I'll never forget one woman (buying gifts for her mother, Godmother, and Grandmother) said it brought back happy memories of spending time with them when she was little, and realizing time was not on their side any more (as she wept).
