Did you know? For a vertical launch, the thrust is directly opposite the weight; the acceleration of the rocket can be determined by applying Newton's Second Law of Motion. Enjoy the evening, trampolinos!

OPEN POST: American Gay History Is Being Made!

By

Gay history is being made as we speak - or rather, American gay history, which is an important distinction. More on that in a sec. First, as you may know, "Heated Rivalry," a 6-part Canadian series about two closeted gay hockey players, appeared seemingly out of nowhere on North American TV screens this past November. Connor Storrie, a previously unknown, 25 year-old American actor, and Hudson Williams, a little-known Korean-Canadian actor one-year younger, are its stars. To say that audiences swooned is a vast understatement. Almost instantly, the show became a ratings bonanza and a genuine cultural phenomenon.  So far so interesting, but with just as much immediacy, magazine pictures and videos of Connor began appearing, and it became crystal-clear that his real-life persona was vastly different from the tough, manly-man Russian hunk he played on the series. He was unquestionably gay - even if he declined to answer questions about his orientation - or someone you might rega...

PECKERWOOD'S WEEKLY LUNOCRACY POST! For the Week of 02/09/2026!

The ongoing revelations from The Epstein Files are shocking to many, but to some, it's merely confirming what's already been known for decades about its many boldface names, including Trump, of course, his wife-in-name Melania, and Jeffrey Epstein's pimp, Ghislaine Maxwell. After all, Jeffrey was investigated for under-age sexual assault and sex trafficking in 2005, indicted in 2006, and walked scott-free in 2007 with a slap on the wrist, or what was called the "deal of the century," in which he served no jail time for pleading guilty to two felony prostitution-related charges. The deal required him to register as a sex offender. So people knew. Especially all those bold-face names who continued to party with him at various locales, including the notorious "Epstein Island."  Yet it's Hilary and Bill Clinton who'll soon come under fire in closed door depositions they're required to give the federal government in a Republican-led probe later th...

OPEN POST: Manor Music Monday With Bewitching Pat Healy!

Greetings, Manor slutinos, and welcome to another edition of Manor Music Monday, a day which is frosty and cold for most of you, so tonight, at "Box Job!", the Manor's exclusive after-hours nightery, only hot libations will be served, including Irish Coffee, Mulled Wine and my favorite, Spiked Hot Chocolate. Even better, DJ Li'l Scratch will be playing tunes by a mesmerizing one-LP wonder, or a talented jazz songstress who scored a single LP deal, lots of club dates, and then moved on to a second life - in this case one just as interesting as the first. From the daughter of a speakeasy-singing mother to West Coast jazz crooner to successful, politically-active hippie restaurateur, Pat Healy lived many lives. Born in 1927, wee infant Pat was sometimes left to sleep in a dresser drawer at home while her mother sang and performed all night long at speakeasies and nightclubs in Cleveland, Ohio. Yet later, little Pat accompanied her. Is it any wonder she wanted to become ...
