Celebrating LGBTQ-History Month in February The name Milton Moore probably means nothing to most people. Only in the art world might a few handfuls remember the name. For it is not his role as an artist’s model that we recall. It is just one photo for which he acted as the model that continues to strike us today. Robert Mapplethorpe was a photographer who preferred to work in black-and-white. Born in New York in 1946, he originally lived with his girlfriend, the musician, Patti Smith, for six years. She helped him with his work and was to remain close to him all his life. In 1972 that life changed when he met the man he assumed would be his lifetime companion, S…

That is the statement made today in an article in The Guardian newspaper. The full detailed quote is - Some of us have always been Instagram and Facebook refuseniks, and never publicly posted pictures of our lives or families or any of it. But it’s not the norm, and billions of people have entirely forgivably got sucked into a world where they are the product, where they work for free for the tech lords, who successfully devalued the idea of privacy at the altar of their big lie: that “being connected” via their networks is far more important than privacy; that it is a win for humanity; that it is social. But it isn’t. Societies are in a mess. Literacy’s in a mess. …

A few days ago I was discussing with a friend why it is much harder to find a hookup or date using online apps or sites than just 3-4 years ago. My idea is simple: I am getting older. No matter I good look, have some other preferences and so on. Friend told me to read post about online dating reset, In some moment it makes sense that hookup or date online game is changed in past years: sites and apps works worst than ever. You need to pay various credits and subscriptions, still with minimal chances to meet someone. Also, my impression is that most apps/sites have no goal to find person for you. I think they just want you to stay as much as they wa…

Sorry if this is wrong forum, please move if inappropriate. A friend has a technical problem with his CD player. (I already suggested a paper clip in the tiny hole). His mail : I am taking my Dennon CD player/ wireless to be repaired. It will not open. Will play disc inside but not able to open or close. Sounds like a mechanical fault? MBK 4th floor? Do you know any one there? The only people I know at MBK are sales who sold me iffy phones. Thanks for any help.

https://people.com/chess-grandmaster-daniel-naroditsky-had-dangerous-mix-of-drugs-in-system-at-time-of-death-at-age-29-11836092 "Daniel Naroditsky's cause of death has been revealed months after the chess grandmaster and commentator died at age 29. The North Carolina Office of the Chief Medical Examiner confirms to PEOPLE that Naroditsky's toxicology report showed that he had taken a mix of drugs prior to his death, including substances such as methamphetamine and amphetamine. Traces of 7-hydroxymitragynine and mitragynine were also discovered in Naroditsky's system, both of which are known to be common ingredients in the opioid-like drug kratom. The late YouTuber di…

Well, here's something I thought i would never see! We know that roughly 40% of men around the world are circumcised, the majority for religious (Jews and Muslims) and cultural (The Philippines, many African countries etc.) reasons, and the remainder with many allegedly for health reasons (prevention of HIV etc.). An article in today's Observer/Guardian newspaper states that the UK Crown Prosecution Service has issued the draft of new guidance for prosecutors under which male circumcision would be classified as "a potential form of child abuse." The draft CPS guidance states that, unlike female genital mutilation, “there is not a specific criminal offence …

https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1K6UrnS9A1/? One year into Trump's second term, and the numbers tell a brutal story. New research from the Human Rights Campaign surveyed 15,000 Americans and found that LGBTQ+ people are going back into the closet - at work, in healthcare settings, in public spaces. Nearly half report being less out somewhere in their lives than they were just 12 months ago. The survey paints a picture of a community under siege. Three in ten LGBTQ+ adults say acceptance has actively decreased over the past year, while more than half feel less visible than before. Parents with school-aged kids are pulling back the most, with 40% reporting the…

We live near the Laugh Factory in Hollywood, and often go to the shows there. I found out that one of my favorite (and hottest) comedians was part of a set, so we went to the show. It wasn't advertised as such, and I didn't pay any attention to the fact that all of the comedians were Jewish. Who would have thought that a comedian called "Tehran" was a Jew? Yes, he was an Iranian Jew. Some of the comedians made comments in Hebrew, to which at least half of the audience responded. I still enjoyed the show (my fave Michael Blaustein didn't make any inside Jewish jokes). I kinda felt, though, that if they were going to be jokes only Jews would know, that the show should have …

Yesterday afternoon a construction crane working on an overhead railway collapsed and fell onto a moving train below. The train was en route from Bangkok to Ubon Ratchathani and was quite close to its destination. Passengers were mostly students and manual workers. 32 were killed and 66 others injured. After being crushed, some carriages caught fire. 171 were aboard the train. Local outlet The Nation reported that the incident occurred while the crane was lifting a large concrete section which dropped on to the train, causing several coaches to derail . . . "Accidents like this can only happen due to negligence, skipped steps, deviations from the design, …

A 19 year-old was found, having fallen 150 m to his death in the "Devil's Backbone" trail area of the 3000 m Mount Baldy. A friend traveling with him managed to call authorities and give the location of his fallen friend. Two other corpses were found alongside the 19 year-old's (how long they'd been there is unknown). This area is well-known to kill the unprepared, despite warning signs. Actor Julian Sands was also killed here 2 years ago--though in his case, his corpse wasn't found until the snow melted 5 months later. 😢🥶 https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/crrnlw4rxeyo "Three hikers, including a 19-year-old who fell approximately 500 feet (150m), have been found…

I can recall a time in Hong Kong the early 1980s when I posted an air mail letter to my mother in the provinces of the UK at lunchtime on a Monday and received her reply on the first mail delivery on the Saturday, just five days later. We all know that postal services almost everywhere have been cut back massively since then and become a great deal more expensive. Now the end of a state run postal service may be on the horizon. From Tuesday next week, Denmark is stopping its 400-year old postal service and will cease all mail delivery. Since July it has been dismantling all its mail boxes and selling them off to willing buyers. It will, though, continue to deliver parcels…

Yesterday a couple of helicopters collided with each other near Philadelphia. I heard on the news that local police chief figured out all by himself that the collision MAY have occurred because they were flying close together. That has to be the dumbest statement I've heard all year, other than those of Trump and his lackeys... 😄 https://www.fox29.com/news/nj-helicopter-crash-video-shows-chopper-free-fall-moments-after-midair-collision "...According to police and flight records, both pilots were experienced and routinely flew in the area. Chief Friel said preliminary reports indicate the helicopters may have been flying close together when the collision occurre…
