I avoid any CondeNast magazines online. One visit to the newyorker.com website, one visit!, gave me 108 cookies!

The nails are biodegradable too!

I collect baseball caps. I wish I collected baseball players!

@jjkrkwood No doubt that you found a good solution!

Officials in Riverside County today canceled the Coachella and Stagecoach Festivals scheduled for April. https://www.desertsun.com/story/life/entertainment/music/coachella/2021/01/29/coachella-stagecoach-festivals-canceled-april/6531298002/

So many personal questions are being asked here that I thought I would ask this one. Toenail collecting may be a weird behavior. It depends on your perspective. Here's the world's biggest collection: And here a man explains why he kept his clippings in a jar for five years: https://medium.com/@MarcCalderaro/why-i-kept-my-nail-clippings-in-a-jar-for-5-years-495fab620039 A search for toenail clippings will give you even more stories! So, go on! Tell us about your collection. In case you wonder, I don't collect them.

My internet search found no evidence that the Jeffrey Sanker White Party in Puerto Vallarta, criticized a a "super spreader" event, did in fact result in many COVID cases. There were some deaths in Puerto Vallarta following the Party, but not necessarily related to it. The EdgeMediaNetwork found: Several fatalities have been reported in Puerto Vallarta in the days after COVID-unsafe New Years revelry by American tourists sparked widespread condemnation in the press and on social media. Among the victims are a gay couple suspected of having died from drug overdoses. Local Spanish-language news source Debate reports that the couple were found unresponsive in a Zona Romantica condominium at about 10:30 on New Year's Eve. The men - 35-year-old Dustin Terry Childs, 35, and 32-year-old Austin Jordan Hales - were from Salt Lake City. The cause of their deaths has not been definitively ascertained. Hours later, at about 4:30 a.m. on Jan. 1, another man, identified as Kevin Page, was found dead by first responders near the pool of the Sheraton Buganvilias after reportedly falling from a fifth-story balcony. A drowning victim was also reported. The unidentified man, said to be 20 - 25 years old, was spotted floating in the water near Conchas Chinas in the Bay of Banderas, the Puerto Vallarta Daily News said. The body was sighted on the afternoon of Jan. 3. Life guards attempted a rescue, but the man was dead when he was brought to shore. Though it was initially thought he might have been a swimmer caught up in a current and carried away from the beach, reports noted that he was fully clothed and may have fallen off a boat. A number of men had to be rescued from ocean waters on New Year's Eve when a party boat began taking on water and sank as it returned from a bash that included a clothing-optional beach gathering, go-go boys, and a DJ. About 60 revelers were aboard the craft, which belonged to a gay cruise company. The party was organized by famed gay event organizer Jeffrey Sanker, and had been moved from Puerto Vallarta to a nearby town after being criticized in the gay press and on social media. The Puerto Vallarta Daily News also called out the event a week before it happened, taking to Facebook to condemn how "foreigners come to our community and throw big parties and leave COVID while causing our businesses to close and people lose their jobs". The incident was one of a number of controversial New Year's events in which crowds of revelers defied COVID guidelines. In another example of COVID-unsafe revelry that made headlines, a circuit party with 2,000 participants was raided by police and shut down in Rio de Janeiro on New Year's Eve. *** Given the criticism of mass events without masks, you would think a rash of COVID cases would be reported, but I haven't seen it here. Many of the party go-ers probably left Mexico soon after the party and possibly got sick in their communities.

Thank you for your post, @KrisParr

There seem to be plenty of snowbirds here. The out of state license plates and the bad driving are good indicators!

Isn't it nice that the big cock fantasists want to let us have Shawn all to ourselves? If a big cock is your only criterion, you miss out on so much that individual guys have to offer.

I did not find any mention of the above in either of the two English newspapers there.

You thought that Thailand has plenty of queens, but they have only two official ones. The King has named his consort a queen in a controversial decision. https://knewz.com/thailand-king-controversy-renewed/?utm_source=nypost https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9187411/Thai-king-makes-consort-second-queen-birthday-gift-historic-move.html In other news, the King has been accused of breaking his sister's ankles when she protested the above: https://www.thedailybeast.com/king-of-thailand-reportedly-accused-of-breaking-sisters-ankles-after-she-questions-plan-to-name-second-queen

Dance away! No masks. Melbourne, Australia, has not had a COVID case in 21 days, and the gay dance bar is alive with music: https://www.nydailynews.com/snyde/ny-gay-bar-australia-dancing-lady-gaga-jealous-20210127-cbjx6v24frgbldbeaesluynwjq-story.html

Like one hour per floor! I don't climb like I used to!

I enjoyed reading the history of the show as told in Michael Riedel's new book, Singular Sensation.

@Daniel84 Clearly you won't be catering to an older crowd.

And now China has developed an anal swab test for it. I guess that they want all of their gay citizens to get tested! https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/asia_pacific/anal-swab-china-coronavirus/2021/01/27/cc284f56-6054-11eb-a177-7765f29a9524_story.html

I really enjoyed theater critic Michael Riedel's latest book on Broadway, Singular Sensation. Full of gossip, it takes us mostly through the nineties. I especially liked reading the history of Rent and The Producers.

I just read Brad Thor and Jack Carr's latest, as well as Singular Sensation by Michael Riedel.

Well, that's one title for a thread. It may look like this: A new book, Extraterrestial, discusses life in space and posits that alien technology caused a huge life-form, miles long, to pass by Earth. If you think we are not alone in the universe, read on! https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/26/books/review/extraterrestrial-avi-loeb.html (It might have been just a huge comet.)

And after his release, he killed himself.

The link is to the NY Post. That means: Don't take it at face value!

I disagree. Such a post allows you to defame a provider without providing a reason. That's hardly fair to anyone.

So why didn't you "like" his post?
