No matter what you think of Hasan this is a great time to see which politicians are incapable of staying on their message. Imagine being asked about a streamer & answering directly instead of bulldozing & talking about what you wanted to talk about on tv anyways

I have been watching videos of Dolly Parton performing live all evening, and it has really hammered home that Dolly Parton had the most beautiful voice with astonishing clarity and perfect pitch. Her voice control was unbelievable. A gift to the world.

Lustige Blätter (Funny Papers), 1932
two figures in fancy dress chatting 
one wearing a tuxedo and top hat says 
Careful, I'm not a man!
the other, wearing a skirt , low cut blouse and jewelry replies
That's ok. I'm not a woman.

Lustige Blätter ("Funny Pages") was a prominent Berlin-based German satirical and humor weekly magazine. In 1932, during the final unstable years of the Weimar Republic, the magazine featured sharp social commentary, illustrations, and political cartoons.

I hope the Fever get rid of Sophie Cunningham as soon as possible. She is a bigot. The @wnba.com needs to do a better job managing the provocateurs who are now going to be showing up to Fever games. It's insane to me that league leadership is lining up on the wrong side of this issue. Appalling.

‘Say yes and never do it’ Mel Brooks knew how to deal with the studios
You have some wonderful stories of basically getting away with stuff at the studios.

I’d learned one very simple trick: say yes. Simply say yes. Like Joseph E. Levine, on “The Producers,” said, “The curly-haired guy—he’s funny looking. Fire him.” He wanted me to fire Gene Wilder. And I said, “Yes, he’s gone. I’m firing him.” I never did. But he forgot. After the screening of “Blazing Saddles,” the head of Warner Bros. threw me into the manager’s office, gave me a legal pad and a pencil, and gave me maybe twenty notes. He would have changed “Blazing Saddles” from a daring, funny, crazy picture to a stultified, dull, dusty old Western. He said, “No farting.” I said, “It’s out.”That’s probably the most famous scene in the movie, the campfire scene.

I know. He said, “You can’t punch a horse.” I said, “You’ll never see it again.” I kept saying, “You’re absolutely right. It’s out!” Then, when he left, I crumpled up all his notes, and I tossed it in the wastepaper basket. And John Calley, who was running [production at] Warner Bros. at the time, said, “Good filing.” That was the end of it. You say yes, and you never do it.

That’s great advice for life.

It is. Don’t fight them. Don’t waste your time struggling with them and trying to make sense to them. They’ll never understand.

The more often you hear something, the more likely you are to believe that it is true. But please, don't believe everything you hear about teens today. Science and how well they are doing, despite the suffering of adults around them, tells a different story.

Happy Pride to this Caravaggio self-portrait that made one man so gay he had to go to the hospital
Caravaggio's Baccus painting, featuring a lush fruity spread and leaves bedecking a pasty twink who only works out his armsArticle screenshot that says:

The most extreme examples of
Stendhal syndrome share a sensation of
self-fragmentation. Magherini
describes the case of a 53-year-old
German man who was hospitalized
after repeatedly viewing Caravaggio's
Bacchus at Uffizi Gallery. The patient
felt "an attraction closer and closer to
an intimate sexual arousal of
ambiguous nature that invaded him
and made him feel good and bad."
Unmoored and distressed, he sought
medical attention. After treating the
subject's initial episode, Magherini
writes that he came to recognize his
latent homosexuality. Another case...

We looked for the experimental evidence showing that social media bans benefit youth... and found nothing. Like, lots of studies with null results? No, literally nothing-- there are no experimental studies of social media restriction that target minors like these bans do. Check out our new paper!
