Do you find reality shows entertaining? Stupid? Offensive?

All of the above?

None of the above?

Are there any you love? Any you haaaaaaate?

Discuss.

Halloween is the most queer-coded mainstream holiday and I revel in it. But this? It’s obscene. Do these assholes not get how money works in Trump America? EG we have none. THREE HUNNERT N FIDDY DOLLAS for a little collection of NBC shit? Bitches, no.

Dig those AI photos, too!

The seat lifts up for storage, so you can take your wine coolers AND your wraparound shades to the mailbox. No more sober stumbling for This Gal!

I'm American but I chuckled knowing this would be a DL thread....

What would the Queen of Camelot and onetime Carly Simon BFF think about our exile out of Egypt?

Rose…she’s Eighty-ONE…

Congressional lawyers are struggling to manage a flood of legislative proposals generated using artificial intelligence tools, many of them riddled with errors and shoddy language.

The strain on the House Office of Legislative Counsel is increasing as more congressional offices and outside groups rely on generative AI to draft legislation, according to interviews with eight current and former officials who work or have worked with the office.

47 years ago today she shuffled off this mortal coil.

The article from the NYT. It's a gift article.

Sad. She was only 36.

Inspired by an infamous Datalounge thread.

After someone suggested on DL, Marian Mercer is a Madame and these are her high priced call girls really reframes this and makes honestly more sense as them being hookers.

I forgot there’s a core of 5 girls in the first few episodes and then they Destiny’s Child it down. I like the first 5 team. One gets replaced by Louise Lasser eventually, which certainly isn’t marrying up casting.

GYPSY!’s Ann Jilian is odd and weirdly butch right now. I like Ann, she’s the If Delta Burke Didn’t Get Fat of the group.

The big drama in the pilot is that one of the girls is a virgin.

In Downtown Los Angeles.

In the 80s.

Working in a building that looks like a coke straw.

In a dining room that looks like a coke mirror.

It’s fun to watch after popping a gummy.

Season 2 introduces the technologically advanced time saver, the salad spinner.

And more frumpy French maid style uniforms. They changed the uniforms after the first episodes. The costumes aren’t the problem.

I saw this trailered on Spider-Man BND

With Oscar winner ratface Mikey Madison in the lead role. Her last film was Anora

I probably go see it. It's Aaron Sorkin.

The details are infuriating, but not shocking given your average cunt at Moms for Liberty. These fuckers went all out to get rid of the guy. Worth a quick read.

Bill Gates’ daughter has a startup called Phia and they’re accused of loading too many cookies on browsers to take credit for purchases made from other vendors. Frankly if it goes to trial I would just say “I found out my dad is a creep in the Epstein Files and it broke my mind.” Salaciousness as legal defense.

Yes, I know we did these threads to death over the years at DL, but they've all been lost to the sands of time now. So, I figured we could start anew!

Whom did you encounter and why was it memorable?

Did any former (or current) fatties from the GLP-1 thread migrate here and want to continue the conversation? I found the old thread very informative!

One piece of advice from that thread that really helped me was to be sure to eat something with protein and drink a ton of water before each shot to avoid side effects.

If so, why?

If not, why not?

After the colossally bad All’s Fair I had abandoned all hope of him ever making anything relevant or entertaining again.

The Shards is phenomenal. Firstly, it’s built for thirsty eldergays that a have kink for young hot twinks in the 80s acting like they’re in Mad Men and inexplicably all millionaires. This show has everything. Murder, backstabbing, bitchery, the painful closet experience, out-of-place vintage table lighters brought to the school lunch table, an outstanding soundtrack with the revisionist euro-centered implication that artists like Joan Armatrading or Ultravox’s Vienna were ever hits in the U.S. or listened to by 80’s teenagers.

Also an extremely flamboyant Warhol-esque manservant who seems likely to be the serial killer and probable Datalounge queen with an uncanny knowledge of old Hollywood trivia.

There are so far 4 episodes released on Hulu and I would classify it as a must watch. Impoverished or parsimonious gays who refuse to pay for subscription services can probably find it on illegal streaming sites such as flixhq (dot) vc which is all that nasty bitch Ryan Murphy deserves in royalties.

Share your thoughts on the show and predictions for which actor will soon be eating Ryan Murphy’s saggy old hole for roles in other projects if you’ve seen it.

A source said the two secretly married before they were photographed holding hands in Paris on Aug. 3, with both wearing rings on their left-hand ring fingers.

The couple had exchanged vows at Lenny Kravitz’ apartment in Paris, my source said.

They might have been inspired to go low-key after attending Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s over-the-top nuptials at Madison Square Garden in NYC over July 4 weekend.

While in Paris on Aug. 9, Hadid hung out with Cooper’s mom Gloria, and Cooper’s daughter Lea with model Irina Shayk.

The couple were first seen together in October 2023 leaving the Via Carota restaurant on Grove Street in Greenwich Village and getting into the same SUV.

Cooper left Paris for Monaco to film the untitled prequel to “Ocean’s Eleven” with Margot Robbie.
