“On January 4, Jayne (wearing a leopard-skin cape, hat and muff) told Louella Parsons, “We are going to have a very quiet wedding and then we’ll fly to Dallas where my mother plans to give a reception for our friends there.” Then everyone had a good laugh and went to work on the real plans. The happy couple held another press event, showing off her ring and trousseau. They sent out one hundred invitations (on pink paper, of course). “This is one time I don’t want a lot of publicity,” Jayne unconvincingly told the assembled reporters and cameramen. (“It just happens that most of her friends are newspapermen,” said Jim Byron). Jayne and Mickey chose January 13 for the wedding date, “because Mickey and I met on the 13th. He won the Mr. Universe contest on the 13th and got his American citizenship on the 13th. I just love that number.” Jayne added, “I’m so happy. We’re both on a pink cloud.” Jayne picked the Wayfarer’s Chapel in Palos Verdes for the wedding – designed by Lloyd Wright (son of Frank Lloyd Wright) in the 1940s, it was a modernistic glass and wood building that looked like the skeleton of a church. Glass was the key factor here: people who couldn’t get into the wedding could still see it – and photograph it. The only concern being would they crash through the walls in a disaster of blood and shards? “I want the ceremony to be serious and serene,” Jayne reiterated. “It’s going to be entirely free of photographers. Except maybe just one, from the studio. Well, I don’t suppose I can keep the photographers away if they want to come.” Andrew Carthew of the Daily Herald wrote that Jayne described the wedding, “with some slight irreverence, as the Greatest Publicity Stunt in History.”
/ From the 2021 biography Jayne Mansfield: The Girl Couldn’t Help It by Eve Golden /
On this day 66 years ago (13 January 1958), quintessential show business couple Jayne Mansfield and Miklós "Mickey" Hargitay married. Their tumultuous on-and-off relationship would play out within the flashbulbs of international paparazzi. They would have three children together, perform together on film and onstage in Las Vegas, ultimately divorcing in 1964. (Mansfield would die in 1967, Hargitay in 2006).

𝐈𝐍 & 𝐎𝐔𝐓 𝐒𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐄 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐒 — a collection of one - liners taken from the 1997 film , in & out. slightly edited for clarity. change pronouns as necessary. happy pride! 🏳️🌈
was he really cute?
he was an iguana.
nice try, you moron. you loser, get out of here.
you look exquisite.
isn't she a knockout?
it's going to be the happiest day of my life.
we spent the whole year reciting romeo and juliet to each other.
he looks like a troll doll.
basically, to me, awards are meaningless.
(i love you.) wait. do you love me as a friend, or in another way?
i mean, he killed people.
— and he's gay.
i'm not gay!
i am outraged! i may sue!
you're my son, and i'll always love you.
we're getting married!
do you have a boyfriend?
shall i compare thee to a summer's gay?
did you wanna stick a grenade in your mouth?
you're kinda prissy.
of course he thinks you're gay!
he likes dick, [ name ] !
no more interviews.
leave me alone, you smut peddler!
i'll kill you.
you are pure television.
lay some adult video on me.
i thought you were a stud. i guess i thought wrong.
it's all ancient history.
do i look like a homosexual?
friends don't threaten.
i have a friend who's catholic, and he's busy.
who's gay now, huh?
i'm under a lot of pressure.
i'm very fragile!
i'm not okay. i've never been so not okay in my entire life.
i want my life back!
i haven't changed! one little word, and everybody changes. i'm still the same person. why doesn't anyone believe me?
i am not a sound byte!
why am i talking to you?
[name], i'm gay.
i'm gay. i came out.
one day, i just snapped. i got tired of switching pronouns, and lowering my voice.
i couldn't take lying to the people that i love.
but you're so tall.
everyone surprised me, once i let them.
sometimes the worst thing you think can happen turns out to be the best thing.
you kissed me!
(you kissed me!) you noticed!
people don't kiss here?
this is my ... [ name ] . my friend, [ name ] .
i hope you come to the wedding!
excuse me, are we a little teapot?
you hate this, don't you?
"dance", the demon whispers.
everyone else is dancing.
you're everything i've ever dreamed of.
do you have an attorney?
my mom says it won't last.
i'm gay.
i'm horrible, and you have every right to hate me.
you should hate me. i want you to.
i'm scum, i'm garbage, i'm vermin.
thank god my parents are dead, this would've killed them!
are you really gay?
i loved you, and believed you ...
i thought you were the most wonderful man who ever lived.
i'm so proud of you. congratulations!
i just destroyed [ name ] 's life!
i'll give you your headline.
i hated the bridges of madison county.

hi, will you marry me?
i need a heterosexual, code red!
i swore i'd become someone else!
you were so beautiful. you still are. you always were.
[ name ] is lucky to have you.
excuse me, i'm gay!
exactly my point, a young life corrupted.
oh my god, i'm gay!
i'm gay. i'm a homo. i like guys.
i still do it with chicks every chance i get, and i'm totally good at it ... but i hate it, and i'm gay.
uh oh, i must be gay!
i'm ... i'm a lesbian!
[ name ] has perfect taste. so do i, so ... i'm gay!

It's time for more dad rock takes! Still focusing on non-lords [I promise this time]
Jeralt. Because of course he does. Just like Roddy, this used to be fresh stuff to him. He's into more harder rock like AC/DC [particularly the Bon Scott years] and Kiss and suddenly, everyone's starting to see where Leonie's taste in music came from. Favourite song: Hell Ain't a Bad Place to Be
Eltshan and Quan. Another two-in-one cos their music tastes overlap. Doesn't help that they hung out around Sigurd so damn much at the academy, but I promised no lords so we're not talking about him. Despite the overlap, their preferences diverge. Eltshan is big into the Moody Blues and Pink Floyd, which drew some odd looks from his wife, while Quan is head over heels in love with Linda Ronstadt's voice. Favourite songs: Nights in White Satin [Eltshan] and Blue Bayou [Quan; this is a Roy Orbison cover]
Stahl [sorry, mod]. Just like in story and gameplay, his classic rock taste is incredibly average. As a result, most of it happens to be big hits with the occasional deep cut here and there in his playlist, but overall it's nothing to write home about. He likes the Rolling Stones, Queen, and the Steve Miller Band, but who doesn't like those groups? Favourite song: Jumpin' Jack Flash
Sylvain. Okay okay, hold up here, let me explain. We all know Sylvain is an EDM party animal through and through, I ain't disputing that. But what about when he gets older? He went through Ashe's record collection post-war, put on side 2 of the Eagles' fourth album because why not, gave it a listen. The first song caught his attention, but after the second song finished, something inside him just... broke. He still loves EDM, but on quiet nights in Gautier, he puts on his own copy of that same Eagles record [Ashe got it for him for his birthday]. Favourite song: Take It to the Limit
Deirdre. There's something to be said about this family and the love they all have for classic rock, it's a bit interesting. True, most of what Deirdre listens to is old school country, but it still counts depending on who you're talking to. Can't go a day without hearing this woman humming a Carpenters or Joni Mitchell song, but it's Loretta Lynn who takes the top spot for her, if only cos her favourite song is the one she and Sigurd danced to at their wedding. Favourite song: Louisiana Woman, Mississippi Man
Aelfric and Sitri. Yet another two-in-one due to overlapping tastes. A real Sonny and Cher pair when Sitri was still alive, though clearly platonic on her part. Also anyone who looks like Sonny Bono is definitely into some 60s shit, no doubt about it [please tell me I'm not the only one who noticed this]. Some of Aelfric's favourite memories of Sitri involve discussing music with her, including how they both love Sonny and Cher [of course], Jefferson Airplane, the Mamas and the Papas, and Cream, among others. Favourite songs: I Got You Babe [Aelfric] and California Dreaming [Sitri]
Greil. Another member of the old-enough-to-remember-when-this-was-new club. Where do you think Ike's taste in music came from? Admittedly though, Greil's taste leans more towards acid rock, so among the records Ike inherited after Greil's death, there was Cream, Steppenwolf, Led Zeppelin, and Jimi Hendrix. Favourite song: Tales of Brave Ulysses
Camus/Zeke/Sirius. Don't matter what name he's going by, his taste don't change at all. This guy here, this guy is the real Steely Dan fan in all of Fire Emblem and has been a fan since he first became aware of their existence. He owns all of their albums, all of the Best Of compilations, and copies of every 45 single the group ever put out. He didn't just push the Steely Dan button, he smashed it to pieces. Favourite songs: Show Biz Kids and Bodhisattva [a tie -- he can't pick between them]
Echidna. Older rock music is pretty much all she listens to, and if it ain't playing, she ain't caring. Go up to a jukebox and put on any song by that little ol' band from Texas and you've got her attention. Screw all that Taylor Swift and Ariana Grande and Bruno Mars nonsense, it's ZZ Top hours now. She and Oifey would make great friends. Favourite song: Velcro Fly
Nephenee. Like Deirdre, most of what she listens to is country, but unlike Deirdre, it's definitely southern rock. Lynyrd Skynyrd, Atlanta Rhythm Section, and Molly Hatchet are among her favourite groups, but the second .38 Special starts playing on the radio, that volume control is getting dialed up to 11 and you're gonna hear her belting out the lyrics from down the street. Favourite song: Back to Paradise
Samson. I look at this guy and all I see is "I'm a Foreigner fan". Okay, it's not all I see. He's also into Santana, Meat Loaf, and Eric Clapton, but holy shit the Foreigner vibes are strong with this one. He loves the Agent Provacateur album so much that he needs a replacement for it cos it's starting to warp. Funnily enough though, his favourite song is actually on a different album. He got asked about that once and he said that if his favourite song was on Agent Provacateur, it would be the perfect album. Favourite song: Girl on the Moon
I've got more, but that can wait for later so I'll stop here

So Carmilla as soon as Sera shows up pregnant at her door wants to get married. She had always hated how the secret rendezvous made thier relationship feel like an affair with Carmilla as the mistress Sera hid from her "real" family and the fact that Carmilla had two of Sera's kids without telling her added to that guilt. But once heaven kicks Sera out she feels like she's won they are now a real family and she isn't the shameful mistress but a wife. While Carmilla may want to have a big wedding in the future I feel she may want to make it official as soon as possible maybe when Lucifer visits to see baby Emily she asks him to marry them right there. They can do the big party and wedding later.
"Wait, what? You want me to marry you two...right now?" Lucifer has to hold in his surprise, taking a step backward and bracing himself on his foot to keep from dropping Emily. The child in his arms is tiny. Barely a few weeks old. She reminds him so much of Charlie, who is currently at home with her own mother, sleeping soundly.
"We want to make this official as soon as possible," Carmilla insists. "Heaven pushed her out, but there's no telling what kind of games they'll try to play during the next Extermination. If she's my wife, people are more likely to leave her and Emily alone. And it will be easier for my people to accept them, so I can protect them both."
Lucifer looks down at Emily again. The baby is smiling, reaching up to try and touch his ruby-red cheeks. He's a small man, so even a baby of this size is a handful for him. The little wings flapping here and there aren't helping. She's ridiculously cute. Lucifer sighs.
"All right, but give me some time to...prepare," Lucifer hints. This is going to take a while to explain to the other rulers of Hell. He doesn't think Bee, Ozzie, or Bel will mind having a more freshly fallen angel in their midst, but Mammon might be a different story. He'll take some convincing. "Just let me make sure everything is on the up-and-up, and I'll be back with Ozzie to perform the ceremony."
Carmilla shakes her head. "No. Not a ceremony right now, Lucifer. We just want to get it on paper. We can do the ceremony when Sera is well again. Once she's recovered. Can you do that for now?"
"Su-sure," Lucifer says, a little surprised. He figured an angel would want a gigantic, extravagant affair. If they just want to get this on the books, then he can perform the rights himself. He'll just need some supplies.
"Since when does Ozzie do weddings, anyway?" Carmilla asks, raising an eyebrow.
Lucifer chuckles. "He's had a change of heart recently, I guess. Found there's a lot of money to be made in the romance biz. He's making bank!"
Carmilla smiles. "Figures. Thank you for this, Lucifer. It means a lot to us."
Lucifer hands Emily back to Carmilla. The baby is cooing, trying to take his hat with her. He grins, tipping his hat at the baby, then turning toward the door.
"Not a problem, Carm. Be right back."

Analysis of Love Stage!! (TW SA)

Love Stage!! A 10 episode (excluding OAD) BL anime published by Kadokawa Pictures Inc. and aired in 2014. Rated 4.6/5 on Crunchyroll and 7.3/10 on IMBd
TABLE OF CONTENTS: 1. Art/Animation 2. Plot 3. Characters 4. Sexual Assault 5. Conclution/TLDR;
ART/ANIMATION
With most BL animes I've seen (though rarely finished) their art is spectacular! It's colorful, bright, and fun; perfectly appealing to the target audience of female adolescents. Love Stage!! is no exception to this. Though what makes LS stand out from the rest of them is the animation. Most BLs these days are otome adaptations.. Which, while not lacking in style, the animation is quite lackluster. This is where LS is unique to this genre*. The art style is still that sparkling colorfulness that burns your eyes if you look at it too long, but the animation is perfectly fitting and smooth. It's truly an anime, unlike otome remakes! (Dramatical Murder excluded..) If there's anything I can compliment this anime on; it's the art/animation that fits and appeals so well to young girls. * When I say genre, I don't mean just BL! I mostly am referring to BL targeted towards preteen/teen girls.
PLOT
There's not much to say about the plot, honestly. It has it's loopholes, but I'll cover that in the "Issues" section. This is just my summary of the anime. Sena Izumi is a shut-in otaku who's hellbent on becoming a manga artist. His only two set backs? His family and lack of skill. Everyone in his family is in show-biz; his mother is an movie star, father is a singer, and his doting older brother is a rockstar vocalist. Izumi has always been shy, and this was only solidified by a wedding commercial he acted in by chance when he was young. During the commercial, and while dressed as a girl, he meets Ichijou Ryouma; a soon-to-be super star. Ryouma calms Izumi's nerves during the shoot and falls in love. Years later, the company who shot the commercial wants to do an anniversary shoot and invites all the previous cast to shoot it. Ryouma is insistent that Izumi is there to act, or he won't be there himself. Eventually, the two meet again. Ryouma is stil under the impression that Izumi is a female until Izumi's brother exposes him in jealously*. Ryouma, in disbelief and shock, snaps at Izumi and insults him before running off. Fast forward a bit and the two make amends and agree to become friends (after Izumi's SA**). The rest is casual character development with Izumi's endeavor of becoming a manga artist sprinkled in. * Izumi's older brother is basically in love with him.. icky. ** Yes, Izumi was SA-ed by Ryouma and is a second time after they become friends. Both will be addressed in detail in it's own section.
CHARACTERS
Man, have I got A LOT to say about the characters... I'll go through the important ones one at a time. Sena Izumi Sena is, in my opinion, a bit of an annoying character trope; whiny main character with unrealistic aspirations. There's not much to say about him except his horrible stereotyping of otakus. They way he's portrayed is very obsessive about a particular kid's show anime girl. Throughout the anime, Izumi's older brother convinces him to do things with merch. This gives the view that otakus are obsessive nerds who are constantly thinking about a specific character. This is no where near true and it's infuriating that something like that is being pushed onto younger girls. Ichijou Ryouma I hate him. I could write an entire thesis on this man being a terrible person, but I'll cover most of that in the "Issues" section. Ryouma is yet another whiny character. This seems to be a trend. It's mentioned early on by Ryouma's agent that he's a very honest person, though a little TOO honest. It was disappointing that this wasn't developed much throughout the anime, I think it would have been great for character development! Ryouma is rather bland, in all honesty. He doesn't have any discernable hobbies or interests besides Izumi. Another impossible standard for young girls. Sena Shougo Izumi's older brother. Doting older brother... VERY doting older brother. Shougo gives me the ick with how loveydovey he is with Izumi. Throughout the anime, he is consistently stalker-ish and jealous. There's not much to his character except doting over Izumi and being really annoying for Rei. Sagara Rei The ONLY sane main character in this anime. Not only is he the only sane one, but he's the most realistic. Rei is a tough-love sort of person, especially when it comes to Izumi and his dream. Rei often berates Izumi for being so stubborn towards a dream that will never happen. This is not the way to go about it, but his reaction to Izumi's persistence is refreshingly realistic. Even when Izumi ran away and ghosted him, he was genuinely worried and did everything to find him. (Thanks Ryouma for being distrustful even then) Another plus about Rei is his relationship with Shougo. It's mentioned and showed a few times that Rei and Shougo have something going on... The two are often seen together casually in the episodes and seem rather close. The two have known eachother a long time and it shows. Rei is openly bisexual. This plays a part when Izumi realized he likes Ryouma and asks Rei for advice. Rei offers magazines and tips for Izumi, which is SUCH a comforting gesture in this anime full of horrific stereotypes and normalizations.
SEXUAL ASSAULT
I saved this for last because I was excited to write this bit... There are countless issues with this anime, but I decided to keep it minimal and only address the one that stood out the most to me. This anime is guilty for normalizing/romanticizing SA. When Ryouma first learns Izumi is a boy but feels no different, he visits Izumi at his house to try and convince himself not to love Izumi. By feeling him up. It gets very intimate and Izumi is very obliviously NOT into it. Thankfully, it doesn't get far and Ryouma leaves even more confused. The second incident was when Izumi was staying over at Ryouma's house while he ran away from home. Not only did Ryouma not tell Rei he had found Izumi, but he forces himself onto Izumi. When Izumi dejected says he doesn't care what happens to himself anymore, Ryouma CONTINUES! Only when Izumi starts weeping does he stop. This is horrific in many different ways. Not only does this romanticize SA by having it be a leading factor for Izumi's decent into love (which in it of itself is not a far cry away from a type of stockholm syndrome..) but it also normalizes it. It gives the impression that this sort of thing happens often, especially with people we love. Putting this view into a young girl is terrible. Many animes are guilty of this, but Love Stage!! is especially.
CONCLUSION/TLDR;
I hate to say it, but I would recommend this anime to a seasoned anime enjoyer. I would NOT recommend it to someone new to anime; it would shock them away from anime in general. For those who know anime and it's cliches, it is unfortunately a good cringe watch. I've almost finished my 4th watch of it and the only thing it has going for it is the reactions it gets out of me. The SA scenes are hard to watch, but other than that it does what it set out to: getting an emotional reaction from viewers. In conclusion, Love Stage!! is a terrible anime that doesn't deserve the ratings it has. I would rate it 2 stars and 3/10. It only gets points for Rei and his relationship with Izumi's brother.
If you enjoyed reading my review, please consider reblogging, liking, or even requesting something for me to analyze next! Thanks for reading, this was fun to write!

Nevermind I was wrong! He’s in the Palacio Real de Madrid and that’s just how the table is set up
https://m.yelp.com/biz/palacio-real-de-madrid-madrid?start=60
Honestly, love that we are all sleuthing and conspiracy-ing it up about the Spain trip, it's just so funny since I know for myself, I'm pretty settled in my actual Stranger Things theorizing, like I know how I predict the show plot and character arcs to go and there's only so much theorizing anything new at this point other than fun extracurricular ideas... so analyzing mister jet set is next on the list. He's just so mysterious!! And since there's a big event in the near future re: the wedding, that so many fans of a certain nature are throwing a lot of cards into regarding seeing two certain men together in any way shape or form. It's kinda quaint, kinda fun. All done out of fondness. I know a lot worse ways people treat the celebrities they follow online and we're all here, just super interested hoping he's on a romantic trip and is happy above all else hahahah.
I really kinda think he's just there with some random friends and has a break in filming so he's taking some down time to relax. Which, relaxing for Noah means hopping on a plane to Europe. Maybe his mother is there too just for like, moral support? In the same country but she's got her own stuff going on so they parted but they flew in and will fly home together - I know he often bops all over but maybe it's nice to to have family around for international travel, he's still pretty young.

The curious media consumer in the streaming age
In the public radio biz, we often characterize our audience with one word: “curious.”
And if you’re curious, you’re looking for what’s new, what’s good, what’s hip.
Enter the era of audio streaming, which makes finding that new Billie Eilish album or thrilling podcast easier than ever.
But what does that do to our collective musical and information diets? And how does that benefit listeners, artists, and creators?
We’ve got a couple of guests who have been considering those questions and more.
Guests Eric Drott professor, University of Texas Butler School of Music
Alex Sujong Loughlin supervising producer, Defector
LISTEN 46:14 Transcript https://the1a.org/segments/the-curious-media-consumer-in-the-streaming-age/
E.D. "Yeah. I mean, it's it's, you know, it's it's an interesting history. Right? I mean, the the music industry was riding high in the 19 nineties for a number of reasons. I mean, there's, the tendency of people when you buy a recording, say, like a vinyl LP, you know when a new medium is introduced like the CD there is a tendency for people who have disposable income to replace that older recording with a newer one. And so the music industry benefited from that because a lot of baby boomers reaching a sort of prime purchasing age, so they replace a lot of their their CD a lot of their LPs with CDs. And then, you know, the other major factor is that, in the past, you know, you'd been able to buy singles of, you know, hit songs, but, you know, with the CD that was no longer really the case. And so if you really like the song you heard on the radio, you had to buy the entire CD, and so you had the the the case of a lot of people who would buy, like, you know, I don't know, a Chumbawamba CD for that one song, that, you know, they then spent $16 effectively for one song. You know, the music industry, the the the the story that's often told that they were somewhat blindsided by the the advent of the Internet and distribution of music online. You know, partly used because they were so wedded to the CD model and they were making so much money off of it, they didn't really want to change. Anyhow, when the MP 3 debuted, when Napster came out and allowed for the file sharing of of MP 3 files online. You know, that really started to show the weaknesses and the the record industry's business model. And even though they were successful in shutting down Napster, you know, throughout the 2000, they really struggled to find a a satisfactory business model. And when Apple came along and debuted the iTunes store as a sort of legitimate way of buying MP 3 files online, you know, the problem from the music industry is that they they were kind of compelled to embrace this, but one of the things that the iTunes store did was unbundle albums. So if you want that one, the Chumbawamba song, you could buy it for 99¢, and so that obviously cut into the kind of revenue that the the music industry was able to, earn from music. So fast forward to 2008 when, you know, Spotify, comes online, you know, at first they were kind of like Napster in that they didn't have licenses for any of the music they upload. They were sort of operating illicitly, but instead of doing what they had normally done, which is, bring lawsuits against these platforms to shut them down, the music industry came in and said, no. What we're gonna do is use the threat of lawsuits to negotiate a licensing agreement with you. We will let you use our music so long as you pay us, you know, adequately for the use. And for the music industry, this is a really attractive model because it basically did an end run around piracy,pushed a lot of people into the platform, and now they have the stable steady income stream."
",,,and here in Burlington, Vermont, we've got great bands like Wild Leak River and the Tender Bellies."
00:45:16
Well, that's Eric Draught. He's a professor at UT Austin and author of Streaming Music, Streaming Capital, and Alex Sujon Laughlin, supervising producer and co owner of Defector Media. That's an employee owned sports and culture site. You can read her recent piece.
Article: If You Love Podcasts, Dump Spotify, by Alex Sujong Laughlin (via Defector)
General Podcast Discussions
Loved to see this.
Defector I believe has a certain number of views free, before they prompt to subscribe, so including a bit of the beginning:
For years, I have been telling people that if they love podcasts and want to support podcast creators—especially independent ones—they shouldn’t listen to podcasts on Spotify
...
I watched Spotify’s quick acquisition of the podcast production companies and tech with increasing unease, because I’d seen this film before, and it didn’t end well.
She references Spotify not just buying the exclusive rights to individual podcasts, but seeking to own the entire lifecycle of creating them, as well.
Also explains a bit about the early history of podcasts, and an ELI5 for RSS.
But Spotify—along with many other companies—wants to create a closed ecosystem for the creation, distribution, and consumption of podcasts, bypassing RSS technology altogether because that would allow them to harvest more listener data to leverage with advertisers.
Author Meets Critics Eric Drott, Streaming Music, Streaming Capital, Durham: Duke University Press, 2024
"Unsurprisingly, this has indeed come to pass: since submitting the final manuscript, Spotify and Deezer—under pressure from Universal Music Group—have indicated that they will undertake a major revision of their revenue sharing model, one that will likely result in a further redistribution of wealth to major labels and rights holders. Nor is this the only way the book is incomplete. It also pays less attention than I would like to one of the most important developments of recent years, namely the expansion of streaming within various parts of the Global South, either through the incursion of North American or European platforms into local markets or through the development of homegrown alternatives like Boomplay in Nigeria, Jiosaavn or Wynk in India, Anghami in the MENA region, and so forth. To some extent the decision to restrict the scope of my book to the major platforms operating in the Global North was a necessary evil, since I lack the requisite expertise to do justice to the different local and regional music industries in question. Thankfully there are a number of other scholars who have begun the important work of analyzing streaming as a global phenomenon."

The Oglala Sioux tribe has banned SD Gov. Christi Noem from their reservation. She told the South Dakota state legislature that she wants to send more state resources to Texas. ** Calling the U.S. southern border in Texas an invasion by illegal immigrants and criminal groups to justify sending South Dakota’s National Guard troops there is a red herring that the Oglala Sioux tribe doesn’t support .

Fuck your need to put your personal brand on everything.- Stephen King.....The NY article went on that X may be violating U.S. sanctions because the company accepted payments from individuals or organization that are forbidden from engaging in business with U.S. companies like state-run media organizations and terrorists from Russia and Iran. ** Leaders of Hezbollah and the Houthi rebels have subscriptions with blue check marks.

He won 3 Grammys.** Someone else had to make a stink about Beyonce. Her husband called out the voters for not giving all the awards to his wife, I guess?? Jay-Z won the global impact award. Why do all these people feel the need to talk for her. She is a grown woman, I think she can speak for herself. Are we supposed to expect macho declarations at every award show now?? ** Miley yelled at the crowd to get more into her song. What?
*****

Tan France had a horizontal tie that I couldn’t stop staring at. ** Jen Aniston presented Barbra Streisand the life achievement award. ** My favorite part was when Tantoo Cardinal was on stage.

*****
Larry David caused a stir when he when he grabbed Elmo on the Today show. He also insulted a drummer on Seth Meyers when he told him it was easy and he could do that. Just Larry being Larry.

The enhanced games are games with steroids. Peter Thiel is shelling out big $. The things that rich boys find to do with their $ is fucking unbelievable. Their statement is: The athletes will be unencumbered by anachronistic legacy systems that are anti science and stigmatize enhanced athletes. Oh my. Sounds like some people don’t want to believe in themselves. Nothing but phonies. Wouldn’t it be nice if all that $ went to children and animals that really need the help?
*****
I was not raised with grown men who whine all the time. I will never understand these people who forever talk about the strength they get from God and then whine about everything in the world. Is God telling you this is the way to solve the problems? What about turn the other cheek? Forgiveness? These people are not like any conservatives or Christians that I knew. Gas prices and unemployment numbers keep dropping and wages are up. Quit bitching and let’s fix the other things that need fixing! ** I see a lot of the red hats that remind me of the brown shirts. Same gang??** A 3 judge panel said that there is no immunity for Trump. ** A judge ordered Trump to pay a $364 mil penalty. He is also barred from serving as an officer or director of any NY corporation for 3 years. ** A year long scheme to dupe banks and others with financial statements that inflated Trump’s wealth. It borders on pathological. - Judge Engoron ** Don Jr. And Eric were fined $4 mil each and are out of the NY biz for 2 years and no bank loans for 3 years. ** The hush money trill will start on March 25.

The BAFTA’s were held and Oppenheimer won big as well as Poor Things and Da’vine Joy Randolph. My best dressed were Sophie Ellis Bextor, Daisy Edgar- Jones, Claire Foy and Emma Corrin.
*****
George Santos has sued Jimmy Kimmel. I wondered how he was getting away with airing his cameos but I assumed contracts had been signed. No. Kimmel and his staff used fake names to order cameos then put them o the show. And why would you want to give Santos the $? Didn’t he grift enough?
*****
New Hampshire’s Chris Sununu is so dismissive of others. He tells us that Trump has done this awful thing and that but I would vote for him. It seems this is a mantra for them. What dicks! ** Lindsey Graham called Zuckerberg and other big tech guys, “bastards.” Others said that after they grilled these guys, the Senators probably patted themselves on the back and went right out and used social media. ** Alex Smirnov, an FBI informant, has been charged with fabricating a multi million $ bribery scheme. Jamie Raskin has called for an end to the impeachment inquiry since Smirnov started all this. His story about the “Biden crime family” and the Ukranian energy company was all Russian BS. Jim Jordan does not care and keeps pushing. Putin must be so happy that he has these operatives in our Government. ** Russia has been hit with 500 new sanctions.
*****
Early spring??
*****
Lauren Boebert’s son, Tyler has been arrested. There are 22 counts including theft and trespassing with multiple victims.

We are seeing the SNL 1975 cast come together. Cory Michael Smith is Chevy, Matt Wood is Belushi, Ella Hunt is Gilda, Dylan O’Brien is Akroyd, Lamorne Morris is Garrett (that is perfect), Kim Matula is Jane and Emily Fairn is Laraine. ** Is it me or does this cold foam ad seem like a fake SNL ad?
*****
Sam Waterston is leaving Law and Order at the end of February and Tony Goldwyn is taking over.
*****
For the first time in the republican campaign, Nikki Haley has outraised Trump. A big portion of Trump’s small donors have gone away.
*****
DeSantis and company spent over $168 mil on his campaign. ** Could he be Trump’s VP pick?? He is throwing that name around, along with Tim Scott and a few others. ** The difference between humans and animals is animals would never let the dumbest animal lead the pack. ** DHS Secretary Mayorkas was impeached for no reason.* * Trump is always talking about water. That seems like a dementia thing. ** An Illinois judge barred Trump from the Republican primary ballot. Just waiting on the Supreme Court.
*****
So.. The Michigan chair of the RNC refuses to accept the results of her RNC election and Trump wants her out. Will republicans ever again accept results when they lose?
*****
Word came down that Wendy’s was spending $20 mil to add fluctuating price boards. The goal seemed to be jacking up prices during peak hours. Burger King decided they would use that and give away free whoppers for 3 days. Of course, you have to make a purchase and have an app. So.. A lot of people are left out of that “free whopper.” Wendy’s has since said that they were not using the boards that way. They may use them to give discounts at slow times and they swear they did not use the phrase, “surge pricing.”
*****
Karl Jordan Jr. and Ron Washington were found guilty of killing Jam Master Jay after being cut out of a drug deal.
*****
El Chapos grandaughter is looking for the Loch Ness Monster.
*****
The Geico ad that skewers conspiracies is cute. Insurance company commercials usually suck.
*****
A new book about first ladies tells us Melania was much detached from first lady business. A lot of her time was spent with lawyers and finance people. All tvs were tuned to Fox in the White House.

Jenn Bullard has a 100 preorder goal! Help her hit it!
It's been five years since I've seen them. I wish things hadn't gone so badly. Ever since my sister's wedding, they've stayed away.
Now, I'm facing the two men who broke my heart while my boyfriend patiently waits in the crowd to listen to me sing. This is a new opportunity, one that the label said I should take. Wild Hearts' lead singer is in a mental health facility for cracking under the pressure, and my uncle offered up my name to walk on stage with strangers.
Looking into their eyes, I realize that I'm the stranger now. How the hell are we going to get through this tour?
Them's the breaks though when you're in Show Biz though, isn't it?
Show biz is a stand alone and Layla’s story. While she has a cameo in the Darkest Nights series, her book can be read alone. This will be a why choose romance.
Preorder here to read Layla's story. Coming January 26, 2024: [https://a.co/d/8Id2qpu]

5, 15, and 29 for the author wrapped ask!
Mack!! Thank you!! 💜🥰
5. What work of yours got more feedback than you expected?
this one is two-fold.
I did not expect The Flying Dutchman of the Pusan Perimeter to be so enthusiastically received, like i am the one-woman Steve Newsome fan club, and I didn't know everyone else would love him as much as I do! (maybe the numbers are modest by mashblr standards, idk, but they're big for such a minor character? And I felt very soft about my steve newsome ghost story).
I also was surprised at the incredible amount of feedback I got on Off the Record. The premise is a little out there (one missing scene per episode... so you have to remember the context of each episode) but it was so fun to build on existing canon and everyone else seemed to love it too!
15. What WIP are you taking into next year with you?
What WIP am I not taking into next year with me?? Okay, jokes aside, things I will definitely unquestionably not-a-chance-in-hell-otherwise be taking with me into next year unless my muse sprouts wings in the next like four days:
An Idea, Whose Time has Come (aka President!CJ. 70k in and still going)
punnihawk skiing modern AU
triad wedding fic
probably 'into a gold and crimson graciousness of october'
plane crash
I'd like to hope that (tww) wedding fic and subverted noir will maybe be december projects? can it still be noirvember if it's now december? please write in now!
29. Favorite line/passage you wrote this year?
Oh. Um. I went back and re-read 'it's torment won't be through' recently and I didn't have strong feelings on it before but now I'm like damn, girl, that was GOOD stuff (beejhawk 'that's show biz' fic):
Hawkeye’s voice is barely a whisper. “I’m not going to be what this place does to you, Beej. I can’t do that to you. I can’t do that to Peg. And I can’t do that to me.”
And then this from Off the Record!
CJ doesn’t like the way he’s looking at her, the blue eyes fixed on her face, a look like he can see right through her, and she thinks, a little uncomfortably, that Superman played a journalist during the day too.
#this is one of my favourite ask lists so#ao3 wrapped#thank you mack 💜#sorry if the answers are lil rambly!

At 18 years old, Ava Gardner announced her engagement to Hollywood star, Mickey Rooney. The two met during one of Gardner's studio visits, and the notorious playboy pursued the young starlet persistently. In 1941, they were granted permission by MGM to wed. He was 22, and she was 19 when they wed. They were only married from 1942 to 1943. She was signed as an MGM contract player, in 1941. Ava learned about the real Mickey, after their honeymoon. It was a big mistake.
He was a great, multi-talented performer. He was a show biz veteran, starting at age 3, in Vaudeville. MGM boss L.B. Mayer forced Mickey and other young stars to work 18-hour days, pumped up on speed, and put to sleep on tranquilizers. Mickey was a number-one box office star, for a few years, at MGM. Trivia, he is standing on a box, for this wedding photo. He was only 5'2'' tall.
Mick was a cheater. He was notorious, in Hollywood. He allegedly bedded many dozens of women, and he did it while married, and while he was single. Having 8 marriages is ridiculous, he was unhappy for many years of his life. He later admitted that he had a 'problem', with women. Mick must have had something 'special' going for him, in an intimate sense. His career was nearly washed up by 1950, while she was on a meteoric rise.
He had a lifelong, terrible gambling addiction, that wiped out multiple fortunes, in his lifetime. He basically worked right up until his death, in his 90s, to pay off debts and bills, from blowing his money on gambling, since the 1940s.
