".. the main problem with social media is the way it's built to reward human interaction. Bad actors on a platform can and often do use this to their advantage. 'Misinformation at scale is a feature of social media, not a bug,' she said. 'Social media products amplify novel and outrageous statements to millions of people faster than timely, local, relevant, and accurate information can reach them."

It was in the news that a woman in a heated French kiss,
bit off the tip of her lover's tongue.
The man stated, that he was extremely happy.....that he only got to 'first base' with her.
Queen Elizabeth (II) has a birthday today. She is now 95.
Having recently lost her husband of 73 years, Phillip. it likely is not the happiest of birthdays.
But, at 95 you have to take any day that you can get.
For those of you, who would like to treat the queen to dinner,
her favorite foods include;
steak.
For a main course she loves game, things like Gaelic steak
fillet steak with a mushroom whisky sauce – especially if we done with venison
For a first course, she loves Gleneagles pâté, which is smoked salmon, trout and mackerel.
Her favorite drink; a gin and Dubonnet – a sweet, wine-based aperitif
pinkys up.
Michelle Pfeiffer.
She turns 63 today.

Known for pursuing eclectic roles in a wide range of film genres, she has consistently received acclaim for her versatile performances. One of the most prolific actresses of the 1980s and 1990s, her accolades include a Golden Globe Award and a British Academy Film Award, as well as nominations for three Academy Awards and one Primetime Emmy Award. Pfeiffer has established herself as one of Hollywood's most bankable stars, with fifteen of her films grossing at least $100 million at the box office. Her total worldwide gross as a leading lady exceeds $2 billion.
Pfeiffer began her career in 1978 with minor television appearances before earning her first leading role in Grease 2 (1982). Disillusioned with being typecast based on her physical appearance, she actively sought more serious material until landing her breakthrough role as gangster moll Elvira Hancock in Scarface (1983). She achieved further success with films like The Witches of Eastwick (1987), Tequila Sunrise (1988) and Married to the Mob (1988), for which she was nominated for her first of six consecutive Golden Globe Awards. Her performances in Dangerous Liaisons (1988) and The Fabulous Baker Boys (1989) earned her two consecutive Academy Award nominations, for Best Supporting Actress and Best Actress, respectively; she won widespread acclaim and the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Motion Picture – Drama for her portrayal of former escort and lounge singer Susie Diamond in the latter.
Pfeiffer continued to establish herself as a Hollywood leading lady with roles in The Russia House (1990) and Frankie and Johnny (1991). In 1992, Pfeiffer starred as Selina Kyle / Catwoman in Batman Returns, one of the most admired portrayals of the comic book character, while receiving her third Academy Award nomination for her performance in Love Field. She continued to draw praise for her performances in The Age of Innocence (1993), Wolf (1994), What Lies Beneath (2000) and White Oleander (2002), while producing several successful films under her production company Via Rosa Productions, including Dangerous Minds (1995) and One Fine Day (1996). After taking a five-year hiatus from acting in 2002, she returned in 2007 with the films Hairspray and Stardust.
Following another hiatus, in 2017 she earned rave reviews for her performance in Where Is Kyra?, before returning to prominence with supporting roles in Mother! and Murder on the Orient Express, while receiving her first Emmy Award nomination for portraying Ruth Madoff in the biopic The Wizard of Lies. She also ventured into blockbuster franchises, debuting in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Janet van Dyne in Ant-Man and the Wasp (2018) and a conniving queen in Maleficent: Mistress of Evil (2019), before earning acclaim and a Golden Globe nomination for starring in French Exit (2020).
Labeled as a sex symbol, Pfeiffer has been cited among the world's most beautiful women by various media outlets, with her physical appearance being heavily discussed since the beginning of her career. Notoriously private about her personal life, she has been married twice: to actor and director Peter Horton from 1981 to 1988, and television writer and producer David E. Kelley since 1993.
She's been a star in many blockbuster movies, such as The Witches in Eastwick, The Fabulous Baker Boys, and Scarface. But 2 of my favorite performances of hers were actually dual roles. If you get the chance check out the comedy 'Sweet Liberty' and the murder mystery paranormal movie 'What Lies Beneath'. Both very good films.

If you don't see me on here for a while, I may have gone to California to practice acting like I'm drowning.
Just wanted to give you a look at these wonderful photos of whales from National Geographic. I hope you enjoy them.
Yeah, the scammers on here accidentally come up with some classics.
About a year ago, one told me that she? couldn't arrive in my country because her mother needed an operation on her testicles.
Well today, I got a lovely invitation to communicate on whatthehellisup (or something similar) from a cute blonde woman (supposedly) in California who has a PhD in....... plumbing.
She must be able to change the heck out of an O ring and REALLY know how to unplug a toilet.
Even finding a university that specializes in such a field of study at the graduate level, must have
been quite an accomplishment.
Kudos to her

New probe confirms Trump officials blocked Puerto Rico from receiving hurricane aid
The Trump administration also obstructed an investigation looking into why it was depriving the U.S. territory of congressionally approved funds, the report found.

The administration of former President Donald Trump obstructed an investigation looking into why officials withheld about $20 billion in hurricane relief for Puerto Rico following the devastating aftermath of Hurricane Maria in 2017, one of the deadliest U.S. natural disasters in over 100 years, a new report says.....
Seven months after the probe was launched, two top HUD officials admitted to knowingly missing the congressionally mandated deadline to issue a notice that would have unlocked billions in federal recovery funds to Puerto Rico. Carson later defended his agency's actions by echoing Trump talking points — citing concerns about corruption, fiscal irregularities and "Puerto Rico's capacity to manage these funds."
Throughout his term, Trump repeatedly opposed disaster funding for Puerto Rico while disputing and failing to acknowledge Maria's death toll. Trump had also told top White House officials "that he did not want a single dollar going to Puerto Rico,".....
Under Trump, Congress had approved a total of $20 billion in HUD funds for Puerto Rico's post-hurricane reconstruction, a historic amount. But the agency stalled the release of the aid in 2019 and imposed additional restrictions and requirements last year on how Puerto Rico could gain access to the funds....
The latest probe comes two days after President Joe Biden's administration removed Trump-era restrictions unique to Puerto Rico limiting its ability to access recovery funds through HUD. The agency also unlocked access to $8.2 billion in Community Development Block Grant Mitigation funds to help the island build resiliency against future disasters. The aid was approved by Congress in 2018.
Biden eliminated restrictions requiring incremental grant obligations, a federal financial monitor to supervise the aid and additional oversight from the island’s federally imposed financial oversight board, according new HUD Secretary Marcia Fudge.
The federal government has allocated nearly $69 billion to help the island recover from Maria as well as other disasters that have hit the island over the past few years. But most of the money, specifically funds for housing and infrastructure relief, hasn't made its way to communities on the island. Puerto Rico has received $19 billion, according to the Office of Recovery, Reconstruction and Resiliency.
