Horse racing in California has a lot of regulatory issues, as in, no one is minding the store. One of them might be elder abuse. My father was 91 when he died earlier this month; the day after he died, someone entered a horse in a race at Santa Anita with his name as the trainer. Stewards found out in time and…

This is why you always fasten the shelf brackets to the wall studs. Because bears.
What the fuck do they make shelves from in Montana
Not pictured, the too hard shelf and the too soft shelf.
That bare closet is now a bear closet.
A bear in the closet. And during pride month?!?!
I was a theatre major and I just happened to pick up a copy at a bookstore. I realized during my freshman year of college that I had barely read any plays at all and bought a bunch to make up for lost time. It had a picture of Weber and Weiss on the cover and I liked Weber from WINGS and loved STAR TREK: TNG and…
What a great post--I’m amazed to think of two straight frat guys watching this in the mid 90s (I’d find it less surprising now) but that’s me being stereotypical too. What led you to read the play in the first place?
The meta cut-away when we first see Steve and Jeffery kiss at the gym to the two cis-white straight couples watching the movie in the theater and their differing reactions is hilarious. Made more so for me by the fact that I first watched this film when it came on randomly one night on HBO in 1996. I had read the play…
If your homies not hyping you like this then you don’t need them
From the 18 second mark to the 24 second mark is amazing and I watched it about 20 times. Dude is down, like way down. He isn’t listening to his brother, he isn’t paying attention to the people in the room and has his friends literally on top of him before he even knew what was going on. You can tell because the video…
Bone hugs in harmony.
ecstatic release at a Bone party, huh
The genre is so maligned that an unapologetically progressive black woman who looses the Governor’s race in Georgia by the skin of her teeth can have her background as a romance writer treated like something she should be embarrassed about, and sex scenes from her book read aloud on air against her expressed wishes.…
This is true and I myself fell for it for a while. I remember my aunt used to have just scads of these things — shelves and shelves full of them — and I thought, huh? I thought they were just bodice rippers with women fluttering their lashes and men swashing their buckles and then fade to black as they kissed in the…
The way people talk about the romance genre upsets me so much that I just try to avoid thinking about it too much. It’s the best selling genre in the world, a huge number of smart women read these books, and people act as if it’s the dumpster fire of publishing. There is obviously a lot to unpack in this particular…
I like the journey you took us on there.
I don’t like Vandy. It’s a fancy lad private school. As an SEC grad, I especially don’t like when they steal my dumb jock school valor by having the temerity to succeed at sports. I don’t have much of an opinion on this fella’s actions. However, the name Preacher Franklin makes me want to go get my vasectomy reversed…
I read that article last week. My favorite part was when they listed his qualifications to run a sports league: “He had a famous last name in the entertainment industry. He had connections to powerful people.”
