Billionaire Barry Diller has come out as gay - but insists he enjoyed a full sexual relationship with fashion designer wife Diane Von Furstenberg. Diller, a renowned media exec who previously served as CEO for both Fox and Paramount, opened up about his homosexuality in a soul-baring article penned for New York magazine Tuesday.

A phenomenon has emerged in Japan which involves males labelled as “tight men” who wear silicone bodysuits and lifelike masks to look like women in public spaces. The trend has sparked concerns about the safety of real women. Online sources suggest that their outfits are likely inspired by Animegao Kigurumi, a masked cosplay style rooted in Japanese anime culture. Animegao Kigurumi enthusiasts typically wear bodysuits and anthropomorphic masks to more accurately portray their favourite anime characters. In February, a video went viral on X showing a person dressed in a silicone bodysuit with a female-look mask, sitting on the subway....

The International Longshoremen’s Association has delayed the dockworkers’ strike to January, but the ILA is still clearly committed to fighting the future, demanding an end to all new automation at East and Gulf Coast ports. Why are so many Dem constituencies like this? A dock strike could choke off our economic recovery, already hobbled and delayed by disastrous Biden-Harris economic policies. Recent analysis suggests the strike might inflict as much as $5 billion in economic harm per day. Why on earth do that just to fight against tech advancement? **SNIP** Even though it’s clearly an effort by the ILA chief,...

MSNBC host Joe Scarborough said Tuesday on “Morning Joe” that Republicans who support former President Donald Trump are in a “death cult for American democracy.” Scarborough said, “These are attacks on America. These aren’t just attacks on Joe Biden. This is an attack on America that we have a he even Donald Trump participating in since he came on our show in December of 2015 saying that American leaders were just as bad as Vladimir Putin, who openly kills opponents.” He continued, “There are few words. You have these freaks, weirdos, insurrectionists, radicals on the far, far right. They are...

Do you remember when the testosterone-driven “Top Gun” was the ultimate recruitment tool for the US Navy? It’s easy to see why—the movie was packed with adrenaline, rugged men, beautiful women, and plenty of what’s now termed “toxic masculinity.” Contrast that with today’s military, which has totally shifted focus. Instead of seeking out traditionally masculine men, their recruitment now heavily includes the LGBTQ community and men who wear pantyhose. This change might be why their recruitment numbers are in the toilet.The United States military’s newest recruitment tactic is taking a really bizarre turn. Gone are the days of scouting for...

On Monday, MSNBC host Joe Scarborough said on his show “Morning Joe” that the Republican Party base had been narrowed down to “insurrectionists, weirdos, and freaks.” Co-host Mika Brzezinski said, “This is their chance to finally get away from this unbelievably undemocratic person.” Scarborough said, “Why would they? They didn’t after January 6, he literally inspired a riot, and they didn’t move away from him. I saw the CBS poll yesterday that a lot of people freaking out. ‘Oh the Republicans.’ Well what do you expect? This is what they did after January 6.”

Fending Off Weirdos on Dating Apps? Tinder Now Lets You Go Incognito (Cannot be posted.)

VIDEOJudging from the accent of the speaker I am pretty sure this weird clothes free event happened in the USA. As to the reason for this insanity I have no idea except that I am sure it is definitely NOT a group of MAGA people. If you know the story behind this please post it in the comments. Oh, and who had the task of painting these weirdos? All I know is this illustrates why wearing clothing in public should be mandatory, especially including those out of shape.

Twitch influencer Jessica Fernandez issued an apology Tuesday after she went viral for posting a video about a “feral” man at the gym who she claimed was staring at her “like a piece of meat.” Fernandez published the apology on TwitLonger — an extension of Twitter that allows users to post tweets longer than 140 characters — calling the video “the most serious thing I have ever posted.” “First of all, I want to apologize sincerely to the man at the gym where this all started. He didn’t do anything wrong to me and I blew our interaction out of...

Somehow we got to the point where we're expected to just nod politely when freaks, strangeos, and perverts turn up in positions of great responsibility. Well, that needs to change. Whether it's some "non-binary" bondage mutant who oversees America's nuclear waste betwixt bouts of luggage larceny or an Army colonel who – and yeah, this happened – masks up as a leather sex puppy in uniform on social media and who, along with junior officers, also dressed as carnal canines, forms what I guess would be an erotic litter. And then there's the everyday parade of creepy groomer oddities teaching...

Disgraced Alameda Research CEO Caroline Ellison penned graphic blog posts about polyamory and masochism before the implosion of her FTX-linked cryptocurrency hedge fund. Ellison — who dated FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried — wrote candidly about her “‘foray into poly” on her now-deleted Tumblr account back in February 2020, according to the Daily Mail. The post — along with a series of other sexualized entries — was unearthed by the tabloid just days after CoinDesk claimed Ellison, 28, and Bankman-Fried, 30, were part of a 10-person “cabal of roommates” that managed operations for FTX and Alameda from a luxury penthouse in...

By day, Bartosz Bruski works in computer forensics, but in his down time, the 29-year-old unwinds by heading to a trailer park outside Warsaw, where he directs a group of around 60 Polish people who pretend to be ordinary Americans – people from Ohio, to be exact. You might think LARPing (short for live action role play) basically means a bunch of people dressed in medieval outfits, recreating historical battles. Instead, Bartek and his fellow LARP enthusiasts turn a peaceful holiday resort in a Polish forest into an American trailer park, with dozens of participants who stay in character with...

SAN FRANCISCO - Runners are lacing up their shoes as the San Francisco Marathon returns this weekend, bigger than ever. Organizers say nearly 24,000 people have registered for the 2022 events, after years of virtual races and a scaled back marathon weekend last September.

If we were a serious country nothing like this would be allowed to happen. But we aren't, and now, here we are, sending a transgender admiral and a non-binary deputy assistant secretary to France to rub elbows with dignitaries and sport female clothing like weirdos.Posted to Deputy Assistant Secretary for Spent Fuel and Waste Disposition Sam Briton's Instagram account on July 14 was a photograph of Briton and transgender HHS admiral Rachel Levine with a caption that read: "Week 4 On The Job: Champagne and Celebration with the French Ambassador in his residence for Bastille Day.

Sen. Ben Sasse, R-Neb., lit into the “weirdos” that he said are tearing the United States apart, in a fiery speech at the Reagan Foundation that connected the hyperbolic political debates of the last few years with the global threats facing the nation. The Nebraska Republican ripped into “performance artists” on the far left and far right who have dominated politics for close to a decade, saying they’re more focused on getting likes and retweets for themselves on social media than on preserving the United States’ standing as a global superpower amid new threats from adversaries like China.

In an effort to become more inclusive and welcoming to LGBT people, the French city of Marseille is moving to scrap mother and father from civil documents and replace the terms with “parent 1” and “parent 2”. The city of Marseille is moving to update its civil status forms, such as administrative documents and marriage certificates, to become “more inclusive, in coherence with the law” according to deputy mayor Jean-Marc Bonnaffous. So far the forms have been updated in select boroughs in the city but Marseille is hoping to implement the new changes across the entire city as part of...

Democratic strategist James Carville said Tuesday on MSNBC’s “The Beat” that “weirdos” are “becoming a majority” in the Republican Party. When asked about Mitch McConnell, Carville said, “Of course, this party, about a third of them are puling for Russia. Yes, he wants people that will be compliant to his worldview, which is tax cuts for the richest people in the world and tax poor people, which isn’t a very smart idea. But the problem is they are a weird political party. They need to be branded as such. These 26 QAnon people, alright, that’s not necessarily the extreme. These...

Heather Wilhelm-Routenberg said she would only have kids with her wife Robin (Robbie) Routenberg-Wilhelm if they could have girls — because Heather was still traumatized from being sexually assaulted on two different occasions after college. Heather and Robbie say that CNY fertility clinic in Latham, NY, assured the Buffalo couple it would not be a problem: The lab could determine the sex of any embryo, created using an egg from Robbie and donor sperm, before it was transferred into Heather. But when Heather was 15 weeks pregnant — having been assured by the clinic that the embryo was female, she...
