Sachit Bhatt, Tyson Beckford, Dwayne Johnson, keep ’em coming!
Years and years ago SFMOMA did an exhibition of pieces from Bay Area-based private collections including a grouping of, like, six of those big Warhol Elvis silkscreens on canvas in silver and black. And they are BIG canvases. The grouping was gorgeous but more astonishing was that someone local actually got to live w...
No, no, no Queerty. Don’t even think of mentioning Stave Grand or he might throw another hissy fit.
@Desert Boy: To play devil’s advocate, Steve Grand was trying to explain that he wanted to be recognized for his talent and music, and not always his body. But, let’s be real: if he didn’t have that body, no one would be clocking him. Not trying to be shady or mean, but it’s true.
Wow! Is Trevor Donovan one beautiful man!
Marlon Teixera can have me. Just so he knows.
Mark Mackillop has a nice rump to pump. Yummo!!
Who has the hard on for Colton Haynes. Might as well rename this weekly thing to Colton and friends.
Speaking of that. I’m shocked that they left out Magic Johnson’s kid what’s her name this time. We need to see more of that mess.. I mean fabulousness.
I don’t know who Trevor Donovan is, but I’d like to see a lot more of him, and all these other guys, and a lot less of Kim Davis whose face keeps disgracing Queerty AD NAUSEUM!.
Who is Trevor Donovan? He is extremely hot.
I felt sorry for BRUTUS. Brutus is cute.
@mmichael_24: Ah ok. Since I’m like a million % sure I’d never watch that since the first one was bad enough. Thanks.
Has anyone ever heard of Nikola Kent? He should be in the next #INSTASTUDS.
The video of Pablo Herdandez in WEHO receiving from an elderly man (I’m certain it was love) is priceless. Price….what an apt word for Pablo….

So far in this series I’ve focussed on things that have worked for me in my pursuit of the interior life. Today, I’m going to talk about something that hasn’t worked for me: spontaneity…by which I mean, praying in my own words as opposed to using set prayers.
Don’t get me wrong. Spontaneous prayer is a good thing. If you feel moved to pray, to tell God what’s going on, or to ask for help, or to rejoice at a sunrise or the face of your child, go to it! Knock yourself out. As I said, when you’re moved to pray, God’s calling. When it happens, go with it.
But I’ve also pointed out that ultimately we need to make regular time for prayer. And while spontaneous prayer is a great thing when you’re so moved, it really fails as a planned activity.
I have gone through the following cycle of events more times than I can count. I resolve to pray for a certain time every day. The first day I sit down, and spend time talking with God, spontaneously. Often I’ve tried to use the “ACTS” framework—adoration, confession, thanksgiving, supplication—but within those categor...
By the end of the week, I’ve settled down into a pattern. The words are still mine, but they tend to be more or less the same day after day.
By the end of a month (two or three at most) I am thoroughly bored with my own words, and I get tired of saying them over and over, and I am unutterably weary with being SPONTANEOUS.
And as soon as there’s a reasonable reason to skip my prayer time, I do; and then I don’t have a regular prayer time anymore.
As I say, this has happened to me any number of times over the last thirty years. It lasted up until late 2007/early 2008, when I ditched planned spontaneity in my regular prayer time and tried something new…and by God’s grace, I’m still doing it today. I’ll talk about that next week.
Note: I first wrote this post a couple of years ago. These days, I’m finding more of a place for spontaneous prayer in my regular prayer times—but still, it builds on the regular liturgical prayer that I do every day, rather than being the main course.
A Cleveland man accused of selling a Chardon Township man a fatal combination of fentanyl and heroin pleaded guilty Feb. 7 to a reckless homicide charge.
Ronnell Smith, 25, was indicted by a Geauga County grand jury last year for the Nov. 26, 2016, death of Brandon Sherman, who was found dead in a Kirtland Road home.
The Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner’s Office ruled the cause of death was acute intoxication by the combined effects of fentanyl and heroin.
After an investigation by Geauga County Sheriff’s Office deputies that included undercover drug buys, it was determined that the drugs had been bought from Smith, Geauga County Prosecutor James Flaiz previously told the News-Herald.
Smith was indicted on charges of first-degree felony manslaughter, second-degree felony corrupting another with drugs, fourth-degree felony aggravated trafficking in drugs and fifth-degree felony trafficking in drugs.
He appeared before Geauga County Common Pleas Court Judge David M. Ondrey Feb. 7 to plead guilty to third-degree felony reckless homicide, amended from the involuntary manslaughter charge.
Smith faces a maximum of three years in prison. He is currently in prison on drug trafficking, possession of drugs and firearms in a motor vehicle charges stemming from a Cuyahoga County case. His current prison term runs through July 15 of this year, according to records from the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation & Co...
In the midst of the opioid epidemic, some prosecutors offices began seeking manslaughter charges (and in some states that allow it, homicide charges) against drug dealers in an effort to crack down and deter trafficking.
Geauga County began pursuing manslaughter charges against traffickers in 2014.
In another recent Geauga County case involving an involuntary manslaughter charge stemming from a fatal drug overdose, the defendant Savonn Primm took his case to trial.
In November 2018, the jury found Primm, a Cleveland resident, guilty of aggravated trafficking of drugs and heroin trafficking. He was found not guilty of two involuntary manslaughter charges as well as a corrupting another with drugs charge. The 24-year-old Primm is currently serving a three-year prison sentenced acco...
The practice of seeking manslaughter (and harsher) penalties against traffickers has been opposed by groups like the pro-reform Drug Policy Alliance. The group in a 2016 report called the practice counterproductive.
“Prosecutors and legislators who champion renewed drug-induced homicide enforcement couch the use of this punitive measure, either naively or disingenuously, as necessary to curb increasing rates of drug overdose deaths,” the report stated.
Sesame Workshop has reportedly cut a deal with HBO to produce 35 new "Sesame Street" episodes a year, "up from the 18 it now produces" with PBS. It's enough to make one wonder why exactly, we need a taxpayer subsidized public television network at all, if free-market capitalism can do pretty much the same thing nearly ...
Ndjamena quiet after the government says rebel forces were "decimated".
"We don't just have control of the situation. There is no more rebellion. They have all been decimated. Those who remain are being pursued about 50km from the capital," Coumakoye said.
Rebel fighters said that they had withdrawn from Ndjamena to end "the suffering of the Chadian people, and in line with the peace initiatives of fraternal countries Libya and Burkina Faso".
Late on Tuesday, the Associated Press reported that Chadian soldiers had blocked two bridges that spanned the Chari river and had been used as escape routes for civilians fleeing to Cameroon.
Abderaman Koulamallah, a rebel spokesman, told the AFP news agency that "a non-exclusive national dialogue with a view to a peaceful resolution of the Chadian conflict" should follow the ceasefire.
The tripartite rebel alliance also wants to see "the installation of a truly democratic political regime" in Chad, which was a French colony prior to 1960, he said.
Coumakoye has accused the Sudanese government of being behind the attack, after the rebels crossed Chad last week from rear bases in the western Sudanese border region of Darfur.
"We say we are being attacked by Sudan because these elements who came were there in the shape of the Sudanese army," he said.
"The majority are children recruited in the madrassas (Islamic schools) who don't understand a word of Chadian. They aren't Chadians. They're the Sudanese people's army," he added.
Sudan has repeatedly rejected such allegations.
"Sudan has no interest in destabilising Chad," Sammani al-Wassila, Sudan's secretary of state for foreign affairs, said.
Meanwhile, Nicolas Sarkozy, the French president, said on Tuesday that France could intervene in Chad if necessary.
"If France has to do its duty, it will do so," Sarkozy told reporters.
"Now there is a legal decision taken unanimously by the Security Council, and if Chad was the victim of an aggression, France could in theory have the means to oppose such action."
In its statement on Monday, the UN Security Council said it "strongly condemns" the rebel offensive and called on UN nations to "provide support ... as requested by the government of Chad".
Ahmat Allami, Chad's foreign minister, met his French counterpart Bernard Kouchner in Paris on Tuesday and said afterwards that "the Chadians involved in this affair are mere instruments of a cause that isn't their own".
France has 1,450 troops and a number of Mirage fighter jets stationed in Chad.
Koulamallah has accused French military aircraft of causing "enormous" civilian casualties during the weekend, notably at the Liberte (Freedom) high school and Ndjamena's central market.
In Paris, Christophe Prazuck, a French military spokesman, called the allegation "absolutely baseless".
He said French troops in the capital had only "responded each time they were targeted or caught in cross-fire".
No death toll has been given for the fighting, but many bodies have been seen in the dusty streets, and the aid group Medicins sans Frontieres has told of "hundreds" of civilians wounded.
In Geneva, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees said that 15,000 to 20,000 Chadians have taken refuge in Cameroon to escape fighting between rebels and government forces in Njdamena.
The figure comes from a UNHCR team that has reached the Cameroonian border town of Kousseri, 15km from the Chadian capital, Helene Caux, a spokeswoman for the UN refugee agency in Geneva, said.
"People are still coming through. It's a continuous flow," Caux said, adding that Kousseri was "completely swamped" by refugees.
More than 1,000 foreigners, many of them French nationals, have meanwhile been evacuated from Ndjamena or are awaiting flights out.
Myanmar Blocks IDP Expert As UN Focuses on Progress, Ojea Quintana Soft on Rohingya?
UNITED NATIONS, October 25 -- Even on a day when in Myanmar 56 Rohingya are reported to have been killed, a thousand homes burned down, at the UN their plight is largely downplayed.
Inner City Press asked Ojea Quintana what he or other human rights officials in the UN system do for the Rohinga who have been chased in Bangladesh. He replied that his mandate is focused on the territory of Myanmar. He said he has visited Thailand and Malaysia, but did not mention Bangladesh.
On October 24 Inner City Press asked Special Rapporteur on Internally Displaced Persons Beyani about the Rohingya IDPs. He said he has asked to visit Myanmar, but has been told this is not possible in 2013.
Inner City Press asked Secretary General Ban Ki-moon's spokesman Martin Nesirky if Ban or his former chief of staff and now Myanmar "Good Offices" envoy to Myanmar Vijay Nambiar "believe, as part of the progress they have praised in Myanmar, that it should involve extending invitations or accepting requests to visit by...
Nesirky replied, "I think the short answer is that, yes, it should. The longer answer is that this is a work in progress, and I think you will see, and you will have seen, some movements, positive movements in this particular area, and we would anticipate that that will continue."
Positive movements? The next day it was reported that 1000 homes had been burned, and 56 Rohingya killed. What's being done?
After Ojea Quintana presented his report in the Third Committee of the General Assembly, Myanmar's representative said his government is trying to stop the violence. Here's an idea: don't leave the Rohingya, who Beyani notes have long been in the country, stateless. Watch this site.
