Yesterday I binged The Diplomat on Netflix. Well cast with great acting.

Why ask? If a person thinks that you need to know his ethnicity he will tell you.

Matt Rife will perform near me on September 2d. Tickets go on sale tomorrow. So why does StubHub have so many seats for sale to this event already? A decent seat is around $400 on StubHub. That's what I would pay him for sex.

So we can discuss religion here.

I doubt that, but that's just me. But I did live in New York for a few years and never saw anyone pursued like you describe.

Why label anything?

The taxi driver says that the "chase" took all of ten minutes. “I don’t think I would call it a chase,” Singh said of his period driving the couple. “I never felt like I was in danger. It wasn’t like a car chase in a movie. They were quiet and seemed scared but it’s New York — it’s safe.”wapo.com https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2023/05/17/harry-meghan-car-crash-paparazzi/ But we know Harry and wife want publicity. They probably hired the paparazzi to "chase" them.

Finally someone tops a @samhexum thread!

My information stems from a time when I worked with victims of sexual assault. It was reported then that 75% of molesters hit on females, 25% hit on males. We also didn't classify the molesters as straight or gay since child molesting indicates an illness, not a sexual orientation. I've been out of this field for a long time, so if those stats no longer hold up, I still would doubt that they have changed significantly.

That is simply not true. Heterosexuals are 75% of child molesters.

How did you like Streetcar?

Midge's comedy routines continue to be my main reason for watching.

Season 5 isn't getting much attention here. I have watched 7 episodes and am not sure if I am more annoyed than entertained.

Beef is bizarre! The last episode was hardly worth the time. I enjoyed parts of other episodes, but the Amy character was a turnoff.

I had never heard of paraphilia... https://nypost.com/2023/05/12/man-electrocuted-to-death-while-masturbating-with-ping-pong-ball/

I originally used the Arthur name, but the NY Post article said Samuel, so I thought that they were probably right. I had never heard of these guys before.

Samuel Chatto is another coronation stud. https://nypost.com/2023/05/06/princess-margarets-grandson-samuel-chatto-attends-coronation/

@Pensant I would struggle to live without Coca-Cola! Coke Zero, that is.

Metformin has anti-aging benefits! "A recent study published in Aging found that when taken, Metformin may alter age-associated deficits and ultimately improve muscle function. This study called The Metformin to Augment Strength Training Effective Response in Seniors (MASTERS) Trial was a randomized, double-blind, and controlled trial. It compared the effects of Metformin to a placebo for a 14-week period of progressive resistance exercise training (PRT)." https://www.sciencetimes.com/articles/29829/20210223/a-study-showed-metformin-anti-aging-benefits.htm

On one visit to Montreal, my partner and I were separated and interrogated. When finally released, they wouldn't say what the reason was. Sure gets a trip off to a bad start. Vancouver was rude too, but no separation.

Second that on how rude Canadian immigration is to Americans.

Such huge auditoriums make for a lesser experience. At least compared to New York or London theaters. The Pantages in LA is the worst, or so I think.

@MikeBiDude I'd love to see your report on meeting him. Maybe I'll have to go to Vegas soon. He'll be there the 11-14th.
