All in the name of "family values". Police in Turkey have detained 47 people in a series of raids on gay bars and the homes of LGBTQ+ activists, officials say. Raids took place in 12 provinces over the weekend as part of a campaign dubbed "My Family is Safe" that the Turkish government says has been designed to protect family values. BBC Report

Lady Gaga just had her first baby. I have it on good information that the pregnancy was a surrogate one. I looked it up on the internet, and apparently it's not common knowledge. I can't figure out the reason for the secrecy on this matter...

Once again, today the site is not behaving,.... connection problems, endless buffering, and the "contact us" tab DOES NOT function...... After the last issues the other day, it worked FINE for awhile, but now again, its almost impossible to use the site. Any help would be appreciated. (I hope it isnt IRANIAN sabotage and retribution for Trump ?) 🤣

One of the great things about this board is occasionally getting to meet one of its members, esteemed or otherwise, on their own turf. 😎 While we were in the Denver area, my boyfriend, another friend who lives there, and I met up with @jimmie50 at a Mexican-themed restaurant, because apparently I don’t get enough of Mexico while actually living in Mexico. 😂 My impression of Jimmie50 was exactly what I expected. He seems like a truly nice, genuine guy, and I have no doubt he’ll handle his time in Cambodia just fine, as long as he stays of prop planes and I'm really happy for him. We hung out for a couple of hours, and the time flew by. It felt less like meeting someone fro…

Hi everyone, I am writing to share some sad news. Our fellow member, Lucky, unexpectedly passed away on July 7, 2026, following a brief illness. On a personal note, Lucky and I were in touch for over two decades. When I hadn't heard from him or seen him post anything lately, I emailed him. When there was no reply, I expected the worst. His sister must have gotten access to his email account because she eventually replied and notified me of his passing. Believe it or not, despite everything he accomplished in his career, he always looked up to me. Keeping in contact with him for 20 years was a true privilege, and I am going to miss our whore stories exchanges. Many of you …

Unless I start a new topic, I don't see a place to attach a file/photo from my files. In the past, there was a prompt to "choose files...".

Duh. Silly title. Of course they wouldn't know it if they had dementia especially among certain nationalities that generally lack self-awareness. I recall reading somewhere that dementia is quite prevalent among older foreign residents in Thailand due to loneliness. They aren't alone because they have people around them but they're (emotionally) lonely. I don't know whether this finding was anecdotal or based on scientific research but going around places like Chiang Mai and Pattaya where there are a lot of older farang one gets the vibe that quite a few of them aren't "all there" (which may not necessarily be clinical dementia but some form of personality disorder or soc…

https://www.yahoo.com/news/world/articles/thai-resort-cracks-down-sex-114159591.html Thai police have launched raids on sex workers in a resort city before the arrival of 5,000 American sailors who have spent nine months at sea. After a gruelling deployment that has been repeatedly extended, the USS Abraham Lincoln is set to dock late on Tuesday in Pattaya, a coastal city that has hosted US troops seeking rest and recreation since the Vietnam War. Before their arrival, however, Pattaya's police force has clamped down on the sex industry, with at least 40 people arrested in nightlife raids over the weekend. Anek Srathongyoo, the city'…

Noticed this article about the Netherlands removing their gold from the USA. https://247wallst.com/investing/2026/09/02/the-netherlands-just-pulled-86-4-tons-of-gold-out-of-the-u-s-to-improve-crisis-readiness-amid-global-tensions/ France did the same thing. When asked about it the Dutch did not mince words: we've seen what Trump did to the oval office...how much gold do you think he will need to do the same in the ballroom? We think it is better to keep OUR gold out of reach. 🙈

I've followed this actor, on whom I have a little crush, for a while, and I got this rather cryptic e-mail from him: https://www.patreon.com/posts/help-154038202?post_id=154038202 "Writing to you all to let you know that due to the health of my father declining, my mother and stepfathers divorce causing massive issues in finances, my car breaking down on me, my immense debt due to supporting my family financially and finally, my rapidly declining health which has caused me to "pass out" randomly (guess I'm stressed?) ..

An acquaintance of mine told me he was going to do some erotic modeling with another model. I have no artistic talent whatsoever, and no interest in trying to develop a skill in which I know I'll never be good, but my eyes almost popped out of my head when I found out he was doing it with an actor whom I find insanely handsome, Jason Caceres. Each of the models made some rapid 5 minute poses (Jason semi-erect for a couple of them), and then the two engaged in some highly intimate poses, including one in which my friend swallowed Jason's huge cock in its entirety (not easy, and he had tears in his eyes while doing so), and one in which Jason put his hot dog in …

We live in such a performative world where people seem to have forgotten about the things that matter and keep us grounded: love, connection, conversation, decency, kindness and privacy. Instead, everything seems to be performed for an audience, including relationships, especially when they're taken to an ugly end. https://www.dailymail.com/news/article-16051727/david-cao-sydney-callum-forbes-intern-pete.html

Qantas has long planned for a Sydney/London route without stops in Singapore or Dubai. It has ordered 12 specially modified A350-1000 planes with extra fuel tanks and more space in cabins for passengers. The first test flight of the ultra-long haul aircraft flew from Toulouse to Melbourne on Thursday. That flight took just over 19 hours. The first of the new versions will be delivered to Qantas in April 2027 with scheduled flights due to start in October. The outward flight against the prevailing winds is scheduled for 23 hours. These ultra-long haul A 350s have an extra fuel tank with 20,000 litres of fuel. Seating has been reduced accordingly and also to allow for …
