Queer. Married. Usually hanging out with my dog and reading old comics. He / Him.

I watched that whole Perez Hilton video (which I strongly recommend you do not). You really can’t write this stuff because the guy spent a decade where “being evil” was his literal job and if a similar video had existed featuring ANY remotely famous woman he would’ve milked it for MONTHS.

I am hearing that Haley Stevens received the light of Islam and unhesitatingly recited the Shahada. Even now she looks down on the Ummah from the gardens of Jannah. Truly there is no god but Allah, and Mohammad is his prophet!

I like doing a mid-year favorite movies check-in because it’s before my list gets flooded with all the year-end Oscar bait. I would say these have roughly been my favorite of the year so far, in this order. I’ll be shocked if Camp Miasma doesn’t occupy one of these slots in a couple weeks.

A list of movies: Maddie’s Secret, I Want Your Sex, Disclosure Day, Leviticus, Obsession.

SO into this. Their costumes tie them together and you can't see it here but Man-At-Arms has a HUGE sword strapped to his back. As an aside I like how Gwildor says "Skeleter."

Man-At-Arms and Teela from Masters of the Universe.

The last thing I watched that had Eli Roth attached to it was The Green Inferno and I am *astonished* anyone gave him a dime to make another movie after that one. AI is obviously an abomination but in Roth's case it might actually be an improvement.

There is a type of video that’s like “person stitches themselves into politics video so they can look smug while the person is talking” and boy do people on Instagram love to repost them. I couldn’t imagine anything more excruciating until I saw this one with TWO guys layered on top.

An Instagram reel that is I think 3 different layers of people reacting to.. something political, I don’t know.

chat, it is bad when your last campaign event is disavowed by the host because they didn't realize it was your campaign event and fundamentally oppose what you're all about

NEWS: Local business owner claims Haley Stevens and the Kent Dems were misleading about an event hosted at their facility, which is nextdoor to the Kent Dems.

Pux Taphouse says they believed this was a “Women’s Dem” event, but realized later it was for Haley Stevens U.S. Senate campaign.

Pux Taphouse used the event to clarify online that it does NOT endorse Stevens because she is Anti-LGBTQAIP2s+ and supports Israel.

Attached screenshot:
When Pux was approached to book this event, we were only it would be a private women's Dem event. Pux was never advised that Haley Stevens would be connected with this event. We are heartbroken as we pride ourselves on being not only a queer friendly space but also have advocated and continue to call for a free Palestine. We DO NOT endorse Haley Stevens. Our promise to our community is that in the future we will be more vigilant in requesting specific details for private events in the future. We apologize most sincerely and will be donating the proceeds tonight to the Grand Rapids Pride Center.

Douglas Fairbanks clears a table as he duels Noah Beery in THE MARK OF ZORRO (1920), his first full-costume swashbuckler. Doug's brother, Robert, acted as a stunt coordinator and propmaster, lowering the table slightly to make the leap look even more impressive.

Guys will listen to male influencer bullshit about needing to have a six pack and manipulate everyone and meanwhile women will go “you know who is the sexiest fucking guy I’ve ever seen?” and post this

If you’re not American, the student loan situation is unique in that it started out as predatory, and it got really lucky that it dovetailed real hard into fetishistic “pull yourself up by your own bootstraps” rugged individualist libertarianism, really saved the concept’s evil ass
