Tragic.
Happy 81st Birthday, Jaclyn Smith! Here with her "Charlie's Angels" co-stars, Kate Jackson, 77, and Cheryl Ladd, 75, at the show's 50th Anniversary Celebration, earlier this year.

Aaron Rodgers sat at that podium in Paris and said out loud what the corporate league office spends millions trying to sanitize. ​The NFL talks endlessly about “player safety” and “expanding the global game.” But behind closed doors, owners scrapped player-friendly bye weeks, forced a brutal 17th regular-season game, and shipped franchises across oceans simply because there was another dollar to squeeze out of foreign TV markets. ​While families and players navigate locked-down streets, civil tension, and grueling travel schedules, ownership sits in five-star suites counting international expansion checks. ​Rodgers doesn't care about league fines anymore. He’s telling you the truth: in the modern NFL, the brand and the balance sheet come first. The humans on the field come second.

The fictional Joan, from my novel NAMASTE MART CONFIDENTIAL, published by @RunAmokCrime, was inspired Jenette Goldstein. I used to work with her son, who told me he saw a YouTube mashup when he was really young of all the times his mom got killed in movies and thought this one was her best death scene
Jenette Goldstein’s gymnastics background played a major role in making this unforgettable stunt look effortless. Her natural athleticism brought fluidity and precision to the scene, but pulling it off required careful preparation, flawless timing, and coordination from the stunt crew. During the explosive diving-board sequence, the crew reportedly used a pressure-sensitive pad to trigger the blast the instant her feet left the board. This perfectly timed practical effect created the illusion of a seamless explosion, making the moment even more thrilling on screen. The scene highlights how Hollywood combines real athletic ability with clever filmmaking techniques. What appears to be a simple stunt often requires extensive planning and teamwork behind the scenes. Sometimes, the most impressive movie moments aren’t just about massive explosions, but the incredible precision and skill that make them look effortless.

I’m taking the Falcons +2.5 against the 49ers. Tough spot for the Niners, flying cross country for an early start, tons of injuries, and you have to deal with the best running back in the league. Give me the Birds! I’m 11-6 in my last 17 NFL picks against the spread.

Témoignage d’un ami à moi, commerçant à Paris. « Ma boutique a été pillée le 17 octobre. Boutique de motos, en plein centre de Paris. Vingt et un ans que j’investis tout là-dedans. Je paie mes impôts, je suis père de famille » , et hier soir il a appelé tout ses amis dont moi. Demain on sera une vingtaine à l’intérieur de la boutique, portes fermées. Si ça doit aller à l’affrontement, nous irons. Je ne me ferai pas pillée une deuxième fois. Assez des plaintes qui ne servent à rien, assez d’attendre que quelqu’un d’autre protège ce que j’ai construit. « Demain, ce n’est plus la police qui va surveiller mon magasin. C’est nous. » Quand l’État lâche la protection des biens des citoyens qui bossent, il ne reste plus que ça : des amis qui s’organisent et qui refusent de se laisser faire. Appelez ça une milice si ça vous arrange. Nous, on appelle ça ne plus se faire pillée.

Does anyone remember when social media first came out, and it was just regular people posting pics or thoughts, no one trying to go viral, no influencers. Just vibes. What a time.

Beauty requires effort. Ugliness is celebrated to appease the egos of the lazy, mediocre, and uninspired.

I don't understand why so many contemporary writers seem embarrassed by the idea of beauty.

Raymond Carver? Seriously? Some people here seem to have childishly narrow definitions of “beauty.”

A movie about a lunatic in a bat suit doesn't adhere to strict rules of logic and reality. Weird.
The Dark Knight Rises hinges on Bruce Wayne going completely broke, yet somehow his subterranean military supercomputer and subterranean aircraft hangar stay fully operational. If Wayne Enterprises stripped his personal bank accounts and revoked his corporate access, someone at Gotham Power was still quietly funding a subterranean nuclear grid. Nolan used bankruptcy as a cheap emotional stake but refused to take away the expensive military tech because the third act required a giant flying vehicle. It stands as a massive corporate logistics plot hole where financial ruin was applied strictly when convenient for the plot.
