Phnom Penh Post - Grab tests tuk-tuk market in capital
Grab tests tuk-tuk market in capital

Grab has officially launched its motorbike taxi service and started beta testing a tuk-tuk and rickshaw service in Phnom Penh and Siem Reap, according to a press release issued by the company on Friday.
Grab Bike, which has been in beta testing for nearly two months in Phnom Penh's central districts, launched full services in the capital on Friday, making Grab the first major ride-hailing platform to offer motorbike taxi services in the Kingdom.
Grab Bike prices have also lowered since the initial beta test. Originally set at a higher-than-typical base rate of 2,500 riel, or $0.63, Grab Bike is now available for a base fare of 1,000 riel, or $0.25, with an additional $0.25 charge for each kilometre.
Grab also announced the launch of its beta test for "Grab Tuk Tuk" in Phnom Penh, a service that allows users to call auto-rickshaws, the ubiquitous three-wheeled Indian-style tuk-tuks commonly used by other ride-hailing applications.
The base fare for this service is now set at a rate of 2,000 riel, or $0.50, with each kilometre costing an additional 1,200 riel, or $0.30. Those prices are slightly higher than current prices offered for auto-rickshaw rides on local ride-hailing apps PassApp and ExNet.
Beta testing for a service entirely new for the international company, called "Grab Remorque", was announced as well, with those services available only in Siem Reap.
Top Nimol, the founder of PassApp, previously told The Post that he has been able to compete with international ride-hailing apps Uber and Grab because their prices are much higher than his own. With Grab now beginning to offer motorbikes and auto-rickshaws for lower prices, Nimol is taking a wait-and-see approach.
"I just don't know yet what this means for PassApp," he said. "Let's see in the future if [Grab] has a significant impact on us. All we can do is try our best."
On Sunday, US-based Bloomberg News reported that Grab would be buying the Southeast Asia assets from its rival Uber, which launched in Cambodia in September. Bloomberg reported an agreement between the two companies was expected to be reached this week.

Spurning the Internet; many Americans not online at all, by choice
Pew study also finds mixed feelings on whether government should be promoting high-speed connections
By Kevin McCaney
It's common to assume that just about everybody is online these days. The Internet's gone from being the exclusive tool of government and scientists, to a consumer novelty, to a part of everyday life – for most of us.
But a study released recently by the Pew Internet & American Life Project found that 66 percent of Americans have a broadband connection at home, which is only slightly higher than the 63 percent reported a year ago.
Perhaps more surprising, the study found that 21 percent of American adults still don't use the Internet at all. And 90 percent of those nonusers say they don't want to.
Broadband adoption is a priority of the Obama administration, set forth in the National Broadband Plan, which has set a goal of 90 percent broadband adoption by 2020.
Between June 2000 and May 2010, broadband adoption in the United States has grown from 3 percent to 66 percent, with the biggest one-year gain coming from March 2005 to March 2006, when adoption increased from 28 percent to 42 percent. Dial-up connections, meanwhile, have decreased from a high of 41 percent of U.S. homes in April 2001 to 5 percent today.
Think your Internet connection is fast? Don't count on it!
In the broadband Olympics, the US is not in the running
It hasn't been all double-digit growth: Pew's annual survey has found relatively small rates of growth in previous year. But the 3 percent increase of the past year is the smallest so far. One area of growth the survey found was among African-American households, where adoption grew from 46 percent in 2009 to 56 percent this year, by far the largest increase among any demographics group, the report states.
As for the people who do not use the Internet, it's not entirely because of a lack of availability. Thirty-four percent of nonusers said they either live in a house with an Internet connection – they just don't use it – or have been online before but are no longer.
The other 66 percent "are not tied in any obvious way to online life," the report states. But they don't seem to think they're missing anything either: Only one in 10 of nonusers said they would like to get online.
The Federal Communications Commission, a principal player in the National Broadband Plan, agreed with the study's findings, saying it underscores the need to pursue broadband adoption.
The "Pew report confirms what the FCC found in our broadband survey last year: There are still too many barriers to broadband adoption in America," said FCC spokeswoman Jen Howard. "That's why the National Broadband Plan lays out a strategy for improving digital literacy and ensuring that all Americans can take full advantage of the benefits of broadband."
But not all of the respondents in the Pew survey agree that it's the government's job to lead the charge toward high-speed connections. Fifty-three percent said it shouldn't be a government priority; 42 percent said it should be. The specific responses were:
26 percent of Americans say that expansion of affordable broadband access should not be attempted by government.
27 percent said it was "not too important."
30 percent said it was an important priority.
11 percent said it should be a top priority.
Among other findings, the Pew report concluded that Americans have mixed views about the importance of having broadband access. They asked whether a lack of broadband was a major disadvantage, minor disadvantage or not a disadvantage is a variety of areas. Among the results:
Government services:
Major disadvantage – 29%
Minor disadvantage –27%
Not a disadvantage – 37%
Job opportunities/gaining career skills:
Obtaining health information:
Keeping up with news and information:
Keeping up with what is happening in their communities:
The nationwide survey of 2,252 adults was conducted by telephone by Princeton Survey Research Associates International.

After Custer's Last Stand, Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse Fought an Impossible Battle To Preserve the Sioux Nation
Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull were two Lakota chiefs born in the final generation of Plains Indians who grew up in the manner similar to their ancestors: hunting herds of buffalo so large they seemed to cover the earth and moving freely with their nomadic tribes. But they always had contact with white settlers, first a trickle of fur traders and pioneers, then a flood of fortune seekers in 1874 Black Hills Gold Rush. The conflict came to a head in the 1876 Battle of Little Big Horn, in which they crushed George Armstrong Custer's Seventh Cavalry. But what happened to them after this victory?
Today's guest is Mark Lee Gardner, author of The Earth is All That Lasts: Crazy Horse, Sitting Bull, and the Last Stand of the Great Sioux Nation. We look at the their stories and how their victory over the U.S military also marked and the beginning of the end for their treasured way of life. And in the years to come, both Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull, defiant to the end, would meet violent—and eerily similar—fates. They were two fascinating leaders struggling to maintain the freedom of their people against impossible odds.


There is a wide range of options available when purchasing hearing aids such as brand, size, shape, technology level, and price. And due to continuous research and development, hearing aids are constantly improving with new advancements and features. The task of selecting the right hearing aids for you can be very daunting, but at the Corydon Hearing Clinic, we will help you determine which hearing aids are best suited to your individual needs. When selecting a hearing aid, we consider the degree of hearing loss, dexterity and visual abilities, budget, cosmetics, skin sensitivities, and any other relevant medical considerations.
Hearing aids can significantly improve your ability to understand speech in most situations, but for some patients, they just aren't enough. In these cases, wireless accessories can boost the performance of the hearing aids to provide additional listening support on the phone, watching TV, listening from a far distance, and in very noisy environments. While not every person requires these accessories, they are a great way to help you get the most out of your hearing aids. Your audiologist will help you determine if they are right for you.
Exposure to loud noise can cause damage to your hearing and is one of the leading causes of hearing loss. Protecting your hearing is essential because once damaged, your hearing cannot be returned to normal, and tinnitus often accompanies the noise induced hearing loss.


These Carrot Cake Cookies have all the flavors of your favorite carrot cake rolled into cookies. Soft, chewy, and sandwiched with a wonderful cream cheese frosting!
I don't drink or do drugs, but this past week made me reconsider.
Haley's been taking a tap/ballet combo class since last September. Once a week. No big deal. But the annual recital at the end of the season? THAT'S some serious commitment.
I know very little about hair and make-up, or fashion for that matter. So with two full dress rehearsals beforehand and the actual recital, I found myself overwhelmed in the Target aisle surrounded by curling irons and eye shadows, and not having a clue what I should buy. I also spent an entire day running around town from wig stores to beauty supply boutiques trying to find a synthetic hair piece because the two hours I spent curling and twisting and spraying her strands into perfect ringlets…DIDN'T HOLD. Shoot me.
To add insult to injury, and through no fault but my own, I also volunteered to be a chaperone for her class. 9 other moms were relying on me to take care of their precious offspring (ranging from 3-5 years old). Helping them change their shoes, helping them to the bathroom, providing entertainment and snacks in between performances. No pressure.
If it hadn't been for my friend Cher who's a veteran at these events, you surely would have found me wandering the streets, talking to myself and twitching violently.
So, again, I get the whole "I need a glass of wine" motto.
And last week, I preferred these cookies. Carrot Cake Cookies!
Use a cookie scoop. This ensures the cookies are all uniform in size and bake in the same amount of time. Plus, it's easier!
Knead and roll the cookie balls tightly. This will ensure they don't crumble after baking and cooling.
Line your baking sheets with parchment paper. Your cookies will stick otherwise. Plus, easier clean up!
Flatten the Cookies. These cookies don't spread or flatten much on their own, so you need to press down on them. Spray the back of your hand (or bottom of a glass) with nonstick spray and press gently on the cookie dough balls.
Other carrot cake recipes you might like!
Yes, these carrot cake cookies require a little more work than the average cookie. But we're talking carrot cake in cookie form. Worth it, wouldn't you say?
Way better than being carried away in a straight jacket.
Watch the video for carrot cake cookies!
For the filling, beat cream cheese and butter with an electric mixer until well-combined and smooth. Mix in vanilla. Gradually beat in confectioner's sugar until totally incorporated. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Make the cookies: In a large bowl, whisk together butter, both sugars, and egg yolk. Add in the flour and salt; stir until thoroughly combined.
Mix in the oats, carrots, and raisins.
Bake until the edges are golden, rotating baking sheets halfway through, 15 to 18 minutes. Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool.
Remove frosting from refrigerator until soft enough to spread. Flip one of each cookie pair over, bottom side up. Dollop out the cream cheese filling over cookie. Top with remaining cookie and press gently to spread the filling to the edges.
Before spreading with the frosting, the cookies can be kept in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days.
The filling can be made ahead and chilled for up to three days.
After cooked and assembled, these are best when served within a couple hours.
could you use chocolate chips instead of rasins?
Do you think it would hurt the recipe outcome to plump the raisins first? The cookies look great!
Greetings, Cindy – thank you so much for the kind words and stopping by. Merry Christmas to you too!
Can you pleeeease note at the top of the directions that the recipe makes 18 INDIVIDUAL cookies, not double cookies as the picture implies.
Fixed! Sorry Nicole…I can feel your frustration, obviously not ending up with the amount of cookies you thought you would. I hope the ones you did have were delicious.
Oh good gosh! These look so incredible. I cold seriously devour an entire batch of them right now. Love them!!!!
Carrots make these cookies super healthy ;-). I love this!
You are such a great mother! I would be the SAME WAY if I were in your shoes. Makeup? Forget it! Hair? No thanks! But, the important part is that you tried, and I bet Haley did great…all thanks to you!
Thanks, Stephanie :D I'll be more prepared next year…bring it on!
I have made a version of these cookies- yum- they are so good.
Cookies definitely trump wine. Every time. Especially ones as pretty as these!
Oh man your week sounds crazier than a typical med school week! These cookies really are the perfect cure, though. I plan on making them whenever I feel stressed from here on out. So that would be…at least daily.
I always prefer sweets over booze…:) These look incredibly delicious!
Amy, great post….these are gorgeous! Wow. Carrot cake is one of my all time faves….will definitely be making these soon. ..they look incredible!
They are a pretty looking cookie, no? It's the orange. Or maybe the filling oozing out, begging to be eaten. GAH, those ringlets. Seriously…it's the first time (and possibly the last) that I actually wished my kids inherited my curls and not Paul's straight hair.
One of my biggest weakness's is carrot cake, (plus a few others!) I feel your pain. Kyleah is dance/jazz. 2 days a week. Just had her 4 hour recital! Thank God , Faith is good with hair. 2 separate "recital" costumes (grandma paid) plus "hair jewelry"…Did I mention she's in soccer, that practices 3 days a week, with a game 1 day a week. (along with her brother) Least we forget, Girl Scouts!!! John just rescheduled his "life" to go to this taste testing tomorrow and it got cancelled at the last minute, to July 13, and he don't know if he can make it. He's my driver, I can't drive longer than 5 miles, with my knees…I do feel your pain!!!
Isn't it nuts? A 4-hr recital and the little ones are expected to last until 9:30pm to join in the finale. And yet, they get through it don't they? Better than the parents! In the end, Haley shined and I was so beyond proud of her. I did reconsider having her be a part of it next year, but when I mentioned it to her, I got that deer-in-headlights look, as if her head was going to spin. So I'll endure it again. And take valium.
I know you just wrote about a bunch of stuff that makes you super mom running around ragged, but I couldn't get the image of these cookies out of my mind while reading. Slightly guilt-free carrot cake cookies…YES!
It's a modern take on 'Calgon, take me away', but with carrot cake cookies doing the trick! Yum.
Hee heeee. Exactly! And so much better than a hot bath. Gosh, imagine these and a hot bath. Bliss.
Remember, I have one of those too. Trevor's already asking "when he can dance?" I can't handle it. Not him doing dance, per se…more having to deal with BOTH of them in the recital. Although, I certainly wouldn't have the problems with his hair. Nope. He's doing soccer!
This story makes me laugh! HARD!!
I swear I think I can taste these cookies by looking at the photo. YUM! Totally making these. I have a bumper crop of carrots in the garden and this is the ticket.
Heather, I'm jealous you have a garden big enough to harvest carrots! That's my goal next year…carrots and leeks, here I come.
Right!? Yes, I'm glad it's behind me.

Contact us if you would like more information on arranging a private charter.
Renting a car…I can arrange a car for you through our local rental office. We can have the car waiting for you in San Jose or in Tambor (if you choose to fly). Driving from San Jose takes about 5 to 6 hours. First you have to drive to Puntarenas (about 2hrs). You need to get on the ferry going to PAQUERA. The ferry takes about an hour and then you are about 1 ½ hours from the Mal Pais area. The ferry schedule occasionally changes so check www.navieratambor.com/horarios-y-tarifas for current departure times.
Shuttle service…A daily shuttle service leaves from the airport (and airport area hotels) at 6:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. The shuttle will drop you at the ferry in Puntarenas. Another shuttle will pick you up on the other side for the drive to Mal Pais. To make a reservation go to www.motezumaexpeditions.com .
Bus…There is a direct bus to Mal Pais that runs daily from the Atlantico Norte Terminal (also called San Carlos). The bus terminal is about a 30 min drive from the airport (depending on traffic). The bus departs daily at 6 a.m. and 2 p.m. and it costs about $12.
Note: The international airport Juan Santa Maria (SJO)is actually located in Alajuela even though it is referred to as "San Jose". Downtown San Jose is about 30 minutes from the airport so if you need to stay near the airport make sure the hotel is in ALAJUELA.

R14. Yeah, blah blah blah "gratitude"....he really is trying another angle for people to care about his "online magazine".... Funny, he couldn't really manage to get any content for his first online "go 'round"....but people subscribed at 20 bux a pop.....then he had "computer problems" and enough time elapsed before another laptop "graciously" appeared.....still no content.....dogs died, cats and cakes, and you know, LIFE..... He wrote something about another "go fund me" but someone said he really should try "Patreon"....but he acted all Mr. Magoo-ey, and befuddled....knowing full well that a go fund me is the cash grab he's MUCH more accustomed to...."Patreon" means more disappointed/disgusted "subscribers"......THAT DOESN'T FIT HIS "GRIFT" RUBRIC!! 😂😂😂😂

He made some cinnamon cake with a spooge-looking "maple drizzle"....I would be surprised if he stuck the whisk up his ass "mapplethorpe-style" before he beat his batter!! Roaming the streets during a pandemic giving out baggies of cake.... WOULD YOU EAT IT......WELL, WOULD YOU????
*WOULDN'T
That video is so disturbing, you can't tell me he isn't tweaking on meth
There's a certain perverse myopia to chronicling an activity that one doesn't do well (baking), in a format that doesn't flatter you (bad camera angles/sound), in an unhygienic messy "loft" (cat hair, etc.) when the internet is FILLED with people who can do these all of these things a million times better, with more skill and panache.
Great point R35, it's the "look at me, I'm relevant!"... look at me, I'm getting to go to the Oscar VF party, and Barry Diller's BBQ!" tailored for the covid age... Trying, after one too many "fits and starts" to make "Sessums Magazine" be a "thing"......it isn't, and it never was. The Curran theater fired him. "429 magazine" fired him....long gone are the days when Tina Brown would humiliate him and he sat there and took it, because he had an expense account. The birthday orchids from david geffen stopped coming....and here he sits all broken hearted. Came to shit, but only farted.
It's odd, this baking fetish of hers. As if anyone would make any of her dreamt-up "recipes."
The "I woke up to the smell of cinnamon in my cinnamon colored house" then getting all choked up to the point of tears is just TOO MUCH for me to take. NO WONDER he elicits eyerolls wherever he goes. This queen should just shut the fuck up. NO ONE CARES. NO ONE IS GOING TO GIVE YOU MONEY....we did that already...you got 12.5K for your dying dog, the dog died, and you kept the money. YOUR "HIGHER POWER" TOLD YOU TO....REMEMBER???
Did he really get fired from so many places? Because one hears a lot of disinfo online. And if it's true, why? Was his copy not good enough? Was he late with assignments? The usual answer one gets here is "Because I hate him"--but that's not why writers get fired, especially after starting with a big splash, a hit book, a cushy magazine job interviewing boldface names, and so on.
I'm curious about how someone starts so big and then just loses it, because I know a number of writers, good ones, who make an okay living because their expenses are modest. But they never made a splash or got to hobnob with the celebs and they have to work hard.
This seems like an interesting story of failure. After all, the guy is living in a backwater, not NY. Even without the virus, he is cut off from the geography he prizes. And on top of everything else, he's preparing food right where a cat is marching around after having stepped into its cat box.
That can't be hygenic. Do all cat owners do that?
"I'm curious about how someone starts so big and then just loses it"
It's called meth, R39.
Did he put down his poor dying old dog as soon as he cashed in on $12.5K?
R39 -- KS was never particularly talented as a writer -- his talent lay in his aggressive self-promotion at a time when most journalists still believed in staying in the background. He saw in people like Tina Brown the same desperate need for celebrity -- both to be one, and to be around one -- and relentlessly plugged himself as the future of journalism. She bit. It's a shtick that worked for a while but eventually went sour for a number of reasons. For one, other, more talented journalists began to use cable tv and the internet to make themselves more famous. For another, there weren't that many editors like Tina who felt comfortable around such blatant toadying. And of course, there was the fact that KS was never that good as a journalist. His forte was getting access, but eventually everyone seemed to have access to everyone so that became moot.
Then of course there was his own self-destruction and drug use and all that accompanies such career degradation. Finally, he made few if any friends or allies in journalism. Most people thought he was a joke, and an ephemeral one at that. He does have his supporters still, and his posts on Facebook get hundreds of likes but then, hundreds of likes on Facebook is a sad coda to what could have been a good career.
Well put, R42.
Very well put R42.....then watching him "re-invent" himself as some sort of Internet sage is SO super-cringeworthy....you have to wonder WTF is he on? The near biblical "foot washing" of that old lady in SF (she died), the constant drama with his animals, (guess what?...most people pay their own vet bills), the weird wandering the streets of Hudson....handing out cake....what happened to his plopping himself down in a local coffee shop to pervertedly "crotch watch"?? AND POST ABOUT IT?? Did some straight guy catch him sneaking a pic? The mind reels. I really applaud R42 for summing everything up....and I was snookered for a while there...I donated to the dog's operation. Then the dog up and died...he up and died.... how "Mr. Bojangles" of him!! 🤪
Don't be too hard on yourself, R44. You did it for the poor dog. I just wonder if the "operation" was euthanasia!
Not the way he was talking, and he himself didn't start the Go Fund Me....the dog died, while the money was being transferred over, or however that works....and HIS HIGHER POWER told him to keep the money. He then flew to New York, then London to "nourish us soul" with THEEAHTER.....this is when the crowd began to turn against him. When your constantly crying poverty, you "nourish your soul" at the local library....not jet off to London for a month of theater on other peoples money. This, along with MANY MANY other reasons is why people consider him to be a massive piece of shit. He was such an unspeakable snob, and his air of entitlement continues to this day. Don't fall for it like I did. I'll give my money to St. Judes....at least I know that's a charity that actually does help sick kids....no questions asked
Sing it, R46. That trip to London showed how tone-deaf and full of hubris KS was, and is.
And that nauseating "Small Town London" shit! Kill her with fire!!!
Yeah, that "small town" Hudson/London/SF/Provincetown is SUPER IRRITATING....same with equating NYC with "Mayberry".....it's just dumb. No one thinks that, except for him. Odd, how you can burn so many bridges, and yet not be somewhat humbled by it all. Sure, you can blather on Facebook about grace and gratitude 'til your blue in the face....but your actions really prove otherwise. So, if standing in a hideous dress in some pretentious woman's Hudson "atelier", and then posting it somehow gets you thru the week....who am I to judge? You look like a fucking clown....oops, I JUDGED!!😂
He is a wholly unreliable narrator. Hudson isn't Mayberry. A local shop is not an atelier. A walk-up rental apartment is not a loft.
R50.....but he KNEW her doncha know!!
What happened last night...
More pet drama. Can he start a Go Fund Me to get the cat out from behind the fridge?
I never realized that a grown man couldn't move a refrigerator. Is that common? They come on casters.
Oh, Lawdy, y'all, I had just finished distributing 38 pieces of under baked "cake" when I returned to the "loft" to find that one of my (filthy) rescue cats had wedged themselves (they/them) behind the icebox. It was worse than the vapors, I tell ya. At first, I worried that the pussy would find some errant meth "crumbs" back there, but then I called my sponsor and we prayed. I attempted to place collect calls to my former friends David Geffen, Ali MacGraw and Peter Staley, but no one would accept the charges. Imagine! Fortunately, some strapping local Hudson police officers helped me move the appliance, rescuing the errant feline. To thank them, I offered them cake, but as it was covered in cat hair, they declined. As an alternative, I offered them my hole, but as it was absent any hair, they declined. I implored them: "I need to get fucked. RIGHT. NOW!" They were unmoved and suggested I start a GoFundMe for elder hole-stuffing. Good idea! Small town Mayberry....
R55. I have been roaring with laffter over this post ^ all damn day! You really captured EVERYTHING we loathe about the Sess Mess in one post!! BRAVO!!!
Kevin and Jeff Sessions are ducking it out over who gets to use the moniker "Sesshie."
He made another cat hair cake. These cat & cake posts are so tiresome, it makes me miss those long winded posts about washing that old ladies feet .... I can't believe I just wrote that
There is no way I would allow a pet to remain trapped where I could not rescue it for an entire night. It may have been injured, for God's sake.
Call the fire department. They pull cats out of trees, they can get one from behind your fridge. If you are small/elderly, they will forgive you for being unable to move the fridge yourself.
How could he not pull out the refrigerator?
R60. He made such a friggin production out of it, the cat could have EASILY died. Dialing 911 for the fire department is simple...ITS WHAT THEY DO. Fretting and ruminating online was an attention getting ploy....anyone who thinks they live in MAYBERRY where ever the fuck they are, should know that trapped cats/cats in trees/etc etc etc is a lot of WHAT THEY DO. He's a nightmare. He's now posting that the cats are talking to him, and they have opinions on LITTTER-AHH-TURRE!! What an asshole
R61, well, they might have opinions about LITTTER. Such as "change the stuff in my box, you bald asshole."
HAHA, R62!
Bald asshole indeed, R62!
What's that clicking noise?
He's CLEARLY on some form of substance....the slurring, the weird hands....no one acts this way unless they're in an altered state
And his rambling monologue...
That old queen actually once played Allan Strang on Broadway in Equus?
Sessums was never in Equus on Broadway. By his own admission, he attended an open call for would-be replacement Alan Strangs and got call went.ed back. But that's as far as it
So even if the story is true, he never got the part.
^^^and got called back.
There are weird photos of him jumping around on some stage with a keith partridge shag acting all femmy....I wonder if he told the horses that HE NEEDED TO GET FUCKED.....RIGHT.... NOW!!!
God that story makes me HOWL.
He made another cake, a dark one this time. It looked vile. When the pieces were wrapped in cellophane to be handed out, they resembled clean-up-after-your-dog poo bags.
Thanks for clearing that up, R69. As I said, I was confused by how he could have ever been anywhere near Broadway. And he wasn't!
Only a fucking moron would race out and use all their food stamps to make a "pecan praw-leen key lime pah" only to realize they didn't OWN A PIE PAN. As with his stand mixer, mixing bowl, and "lesbian sex toy" (danish dough whisk)....kind friends BOUGHT him these things, and the pie pan is a nice one from Williams Sonoma...now, how he's gonna bag up SLICES OF PIE and distribute them, remains to be seen. Am I the only one who wonders if his "wandering cake queen" act is in direct relationship to his sudden banishment from all the quaint coffee shops that befit the main drag ....you know, where she'd plop her sagging ass down, open her laptop and "cruise" like a pervy junkie creep?
Pecan pralines are wonderful. Key lime pie is delicious. Both together?
Vomitarama.
Up next: peanut butter & jelly duck l'orange.
Is he baking an Oscar cake tonite?
He mysteriously hasn't posted/pontificated about the Oscars...I'm sure he's most melancholy, as this was his big "taste" of the high life once a year....the invite didn't come to travel to LA, so here he sits all broken-hearted.....
I agree with R75: that pie sounds disgusting.
R78....that's what leads me to believe "she's come undone"....AGAIN. He's making these cakes "freestyle" with nary a recipe in sight....ITS LUNACY. the pie (or pah, as he femmily drawls) SOUNDS DISGUSTING. Baking isn't Jazz, dear....it's a pretty exact science. This is just another attention getting ploy, and watching the interest dwindle to a trickle makes me howl. He can go get fucked .....RIGHT NOW!!! 😂😂
R77, he says he fell asleep after eating pork tenderloins.
Why do people buy him things like mixers and pie pans?
Actually, why do they buy him anything?
They buy him things because he backhandedly begs. It's that chicken fried hustle he's been pulling for years....it's sickening.
It's amazing how many people seem unable to see through his contrived antics.
For those of you wondering about how Miss Sessums felt about the Oscars and her present life, she has been ruminating--at great length! Here's the first paragraph--it will warm your heart:
"On my walk today I was thinking about the Oscars and how for years they were a part of my life's narrative and now walking in a small town in upstate New York is. Many of us escaped small towns in order finally to create "small towns" based on finding likeminded souls and success and easier sex. Hollywood is such a town. New York once was for me. When I was six I really lived in a small town. Now at 65, I have returned to one."
R85. that whole IRRITATING, SELF SERVING, POST led me to find the NY TIMES ("mean!") review of "Mississippi Sissy"......HES CORRECT!! The reviewer WASNT buying his bag of bullshit for one second. I only wish I knew how to post things here. SOMEONE PLEASE DO IT and get ready to scream with laffter!! He's been SUCH an asshole for SO very long....
Most artists create a personal mythology.
I couldn't hear the low volume very well. He babbled about Cookie Mueller to only say he was scared of her because she was a drug addict! The constant clicking of his mouth is disgusting.
Is that clicking coming from him??? Is it druggie dry mouth?
Thank you, R87!
It does sound as if he had a traumatic life. I mean, having your roommate brutally murdered isn't exactly your standard gay childhood troubles.
So shouldn't he be nice to his fellow gay brethren? He made a point not to be when he had a career.
I'm not saying that lets him off the hook for being an asshole, but he might have long term PSTD. Which often leads to self-medicating and resultant behavior of a self-destructive nature.
I'm a bundle of neurosis without his experiences. I'd be a total wreck if I had his childhood.
R94. That's when you put on your big girl panties, get into some therapy, keep it nice and private, and get on with it. Like MOST people do. You don't become a mean girl gay, snicker and belittle others FOR YEARS, then whine and complain when your magic carpet ride ends.
OMG the "mouth clicking" in that "Angie Dickinson" cookie video on YouTube is OFF THE CHAIN ....go watch it but DO NOT SUBSCRIBE!! Either he's SO SPUN on drugs, or his dentures are possessed by the spirit of Martha Raye! And she's the "fresh mouth", doncha know!!
OMG....another long winded ME ME ME post about Penelope Cruz and his firing from VANITY FAIR....he drones on and on about it, not ever owning the fact that he just may SUCK. The evidence is there, people, yet even HE doesn't say he got shitcanned.:..like he did at 429 magazine, like he did at the Curran theater.....and now he bakes turdcakes and stuffs them into plastic bags. How sad that is.
I love his last sentence in that Cruz screed: "But one thing Kilimanjaro taught me is that the climb back down is even harder."
I guess he doesn't realize that in the Hemingway story "The Snows of Kilimanjaro," the main character doesn't climb down the mountain; he dies on it. I guess Sesshie died on his own Kiliminjaro.
Methyssippy Sesshie!
Methysissy Sesshie!

What if she gets fired FROM HER OWN COOKING SHOW?!
It might happen, the cat is the showrunner and she says that the ratings are not great. There's talk of replacing him with Augusten Burroughs and a Ziploc bag of Chantilly Lace cake.
Perhaps, in a nod to his "former life" profiling those in the movie business, he should bake movie-themed desserts. Starting with the Shit Pie from The Help. Coals to Newcastle...
This thread has piqued my curiosity...other than being not-very-talented and evidently something of a tailcoat-rider what specific things has he done to make him a pariah? I gather he had a drug-fueled meltdown that was highly embarrassing, but I don't know that I would call that a moral failing per se.
Ever since someone mentioned it, I'm obsessed/horrified with his mouth clacking. Is it druggy dry mouth? Is it an ill fitting denture/missing teeth? (He did have MAJOR teeth problems in SF)...anywhoo, I have a feeling his breath must REEK...
I have enormous compassion for those down on their luck. And drug addicts. And getting older. All of that. But his pretensions, delusions of grandeur and level of self-absorption are SIMPLY BEYOND THE PALE.

R112. He was a "mean gay" when he could have been nice. A straight up snob. Unkind. Nasty and haughty.
Was he cute/hot when he was younger? Hard to imagine... I read parts of his drug memoir "Tell it to the mountain". Not a very good writer and a major name dropper.

I'm middle-aged and have never handed out slices of cat hair cake to strangers on the street.
Why is the cake handed out in plastic bags, making it appear to be dog poop?
Why does he start all his Facebook posts with "Small-town Hudson"?
Also, it can't be said enough: Hudson itself is absolutely vile. It's like all of the worst elements of posturing, striving, pretentious, delusional NYC were just dumped on top of a struggling rust-belt river town. It has become a catch-all for legions of aging queens whose mid-level media careers have imploded. Because they can't afford their big city rent anymore, they flee up there to work at some shitty vintage furniture store where one can buy, say, an old theater spotlight for 7k.
Don't believe me? Try going to a restaurant there. You will leave absolutely furious because a) you waited an hour for a table in a half empty dining room b) the food sucked c) service was non-existent d) you paid $90 for two plates of food and a couple of shitty bloody Mary's.
It's like the whole town sprung out of Sessum's wind sock anus.
[quote]Because they can't afford their big city rent anymore
Hudson is more expensive than Queens, Brooklyn, the Bronx and North Jersey.
" Hudson is more expensive than Queens, Brooklyn, the Bronx and North Jersey."
I'm talking about people who were making mid six figures, living in 4K a month apartments. There's been an exodus of this type up there for years.
R127. Insufferable asshole queens! Anyone who thinks Hudson, Kingston, or any surrounding area is glam....they're STUPID.
Oh please, R125. There are plenty of nice restaurants in Hudson (or were pre-Covid). Great bookstore too and some wonderful architecture. Plenty of K.S. types, but fortunately you can see the flames from miles away so they're pretty easy to avoid. I agree that the "arts" "scene" in Hudson is insufferable, but Catskill is just across the river and the creatives there are more down-to-earth and less windbaggy.
Hudson does have some good restaurants and amazing bakeries (Breadfolks!) in its midst. Way too many poseurs (like Sesshie and his friend's absurd "atelier"), hipsters and such, but they can be avoided. And the surrounding area is filled with spectacular scenery and exquisite houses. The Hudson Valley really is exquisite, especially in the springtime.
What is an "orange olive oil cake"? Sounds ghastly.
I wonder if people throw out the cake slice once he has dropped them off, knowing that they are covered in cat hair. Ewwwwwwwwwwww!
Tragic.

Amazingly, today he is complaining about having to go back to New York City next week in order to repair one "of two" antique Rolexes he owns, after it was improperly repaired the first time. The sale of just one Rolex could have funded an operation for his dog some years back, instead of grifting funds from his followers. I used to think he was harmless enough, but he really is a grifter.

Why does he start posts with "Small-town Hudson"?
I used to read his Vanity Fair back-page celebrity interviews years ago when I was very young and was envious of him and his life.
A few years ago when I was much older I worked with him for a time in a volunteer organization. He was a bit of a creep - not in an anti-social way but in a weird vibe way - and still a social climber in our small town, but I got the sense then that he was tired of all that and wanted something more.
No more envy on my part. Lesson learned.
I suspect it's very hard to reconcile young fame with older irrelevance. We all struggle with our lives. He's no different, really. He just does it out loud.
Can we PLEASE start placing bets on how long he will be at GRAZIA.
After his first paycheck he will go back to his messy ways.
I have to admit that I enjoyed MISSISSIPPI SISSY. It was brutally frank and honest about his early years. The follow up, I LEFT IT ON THE MOUNTAIN, however, seems to live up to the snark that I am reading in this thread! All of that spiritual mumbo jumbo with the hallucinations about the elephants and the Hindu goddess…he was all over the place. I do think that he's got some writing prowess. But he's gone crazy. Must've been the meth.
Oh it was the Meth FOR SURE…..permanent brain damage. His teeth are crumbling, yet she needs to get her rolexes repaired! He fondly remembers the days of posh parties and expense accounts. Now he's just a cunt in a dress. The laughingstock of Warren street.

I KEEP A SPARE ROLEX IN MY MESSHY PUSSHY.
Poor Kev, barbecued to a blackened husk by the zealous assassins of DL. I read that Times review of "Sissy" (posted upthread) by the most vile cunt who ever cunted, Mr. Norah Vincent, author of the unreadable "Self-Made Man. -- One Woman's Year Disguised as a Man." I remember wondering how many sales of his book she torpedoed with her nasty little takedown. Reading this thread I get the hostility and it's all very funny, and poignant and sad. I agree -- sell the fucking Rolex to save the dog -- but does Sessums possess even one redeeming feature? Something? Anything? He's not a terrible writer, just a bit of a transparent egoist.
How much money did he run through I wonder…is he broke?
It sounds like he still has a good relationship with his siblings though.
Does he still make his little muffins and cakes with the cat hair in them?
I enjoyed his profiles in Vanity Fair. If anything, you have to give him props for the career he's had. He was on top for a good while. If he didn't invest any of the big bucks, it's his own fault.
I was hanging out at a friend's house a while back and there was an unknown figure skater there who did a hit of acid and spent the rest of the afternoon shouting "SOMEBODY FUCK ME PLEASE!" Had to laugh reading about Sessums's frolics in Provincetown and remembering that day. PS - Nobody did fuck that poor skater boy, who admittedly had an amazing ass. Don't know how Sessums fared in his quest. .
"Don't know how Sessums fared in his quest."
Poorly, I would guess. Who wants to fuck a middle-aged strung out meth addict?
How did he fare in his quest? The cops showed up, he was nude IN THE DEAD OF WINTER, and he had the option of treatment or jail….he chose treatment (which failed) and that's when he had to foster his dogs, another chapter he drones on and on about "this is what surrender feels like"🙄…..then he moved to SF, drove the insipidly pretentious "429" (spells "gay" on the telephone pad!!") magazine into the ground, washed some old womans feet, got fired, rode around on his bike with an English riding helmet, (LOL)….got hired at the Curran Theater, did nothing, got a drug related ass or bladder issue, in hospital, got fired over email, dog dying, got 13k in go fund me, dog died before it's life saving operation!, Shithead said his "higher power" told him to keep the money….."LIKE" for part two!!

Sadly, the other dog dies. No one offers any money this time😂. He USED to spend a lot of time OPENLY crotch watching men in a local coffee shop (SO CREEPY) but he seems to have stopped. He flies to London again to nourish his meth riddled soul…..his other dog dies. He openly grieves by dressing in women's clothing and posting pictures of himself in dresses on Instagram. He then gets two cats….he then starts baking cakes and putting slices in baggies from the dollar store and handing them out. The cats climb all over the kitchen area and it's FUCKING disgusting….he USED to try to make YouTube's weaving cake-making into some stupid anecdote with words like "narrative", "journey" and "rubric", but his crumbling teeth and denture whistle made it difficult. He then got a job at "Grazie". WHATEVER THAT IS…..and here he sits all broken hearted, came to shit, but only farted.

I feel sort of bad for him. He's in London and it seems as if in every picture of him with another person the other person is just some random passer-by he's just met a few minutes beforehand.
I don't feel bad for him at all….this "aw shucks" act is pathetic.

Small-town London. Back at the Royal Ballet tonight. Bought a cheap nose bleed seat at the last minute to see Natalie Osipova dance Giselle even though I have press tickets next week to see Yasmine Naghdi dance it too. I had some cashews and half a leftover pastry in a bag and weighed dinner or culture - and chose culture. I have popcorn and peanut butter and crackers when I get home. That is enough to feed my stomach - and I like how I am losing my old man pooch of a stomach on this budgetary diet, lost about 7 - 10 pounds I think - but this feeds my soul. This too nourishes me.

Well, R207, Miss Sessums equates art as akin to a faith or religion, and even fasting in her devotion.
HAHAHAHAHA!!!!
A post from his visit to the Old Vic:
"After interviewing Patsy Ferran and reviewing the Camp Seigfried for GRAZIA having bought a ticket myself, I contacted the press office and they gave me a press ticket for today's matinee. I longed to see the Bess Wohl play again and to witness these remarkable young actors, Ferran and Luke Thallon, do their work. I was talking to Patsy afterward and told her I actually prefer matinees because their is a relaxation that the actors have knowing that they have to do the show again if there is an evening one, a relaxations that can engender really amazing performances. I am so glad I went back to see it. God I love this playwright and these actors and the director Katy Rudd.
That is what I'll hold on to today and not that I lost another bag. See that little paper one in my hand. It held another piece of carrot cake in it from Hart and Lova. An orange/ginger/carrot juice. Some vegetable chips. And some chocolate. When I got up from my seat at the end of the play it was no longer with me. There are three possibilities.
(1) I left it in the all/gender loo and some one found it and kept it. That is not finders keepers in the context of finding something like that in the theatre before a matinee. Turn it in. Keeping it is theft. (2) I could have left it at the box office when I collected my ticket. Same goes for that. (3). When I did get my ticket, Tom at the box office told me that the seats in the middle of the first row in the dress circle hadn't sold and to just go ahead and take one. Right before the start of the play, a guy came and sat next to me. I told him I was going to move over a seat but it was nothing personal. I thought I was sort of making light of it but he snarled something my way I couldn't understand. During the first half hour of the play I heard some paper rattle and heard him begin to eat. I have a memory of putting that bag on the floor when I sat down. Maybe he saw it there. Was hungry. Ate something from it. Then put it in his backpack.
After last night and that bag being stolen, today's experience really did feel as if I were being gaslighted by something greater than myself. I guess it's just about letting shit go."
Er...I'm sorry you literally lost your lunch, Kevin, but it's not like your sainted mother's wedding ring or something.
The level of myopia and self-aggrandizement is truly gobsmacking. Usually he manages to work in "well, of course when I was at Juilliard" into any anecdote.
If he was actually enjoying all these experiences and nourishing his soul (if not his hole), why the need to post every 10 minutes, especially the mundane minutiae.
Sesshie, your pusshy is irredeemably messhy, even in "small town London."
Absolutely pathetic, and I am loving every minute of this.
When I was young, cute and just arrived in NYC, this motherfucker made me feel terrible at my first big party in Manhattan.
First he asked the host why he feigned to invite "the help" and after he was severely doused he wobbled over to me while I was talking to someone who was and is still a big deal in NYC and said "why dont you go back to florida or wherever you came from, you dont belong here." spitting all over the place.
20 years later, I own property, have a an amazing relationship and don't have to beg for access or carry my little lunch around in paper bags.
THANKL YOU KARMA
R212 - it sounds like he was really nasty. Who the hell behaves that way?
It's not even like he was a life-long New Yorker and you were crashing.
Did you tell him to fuck off?
Re-reading R212, KS was 45 YEARS OLD and pulling this shit.
It's barely forgivable in some 20-something hot-shot with too much booze in him. And then only if he apologizes after he sobers up.
R214….YES! The stories of him belittling people are LEGENDARY. Other odious queens put up with him, because "birds of a feather"…..his "nipple tweaking" 90's fag persona is grotesque. And by the grace of god (using people) he never was on the street. Sadly, he kept getting fired in SF, and lied to himself about his sobriety….the move to Hudson was also laughable. Watching this cunt try on women's dresses and photograph himself is HYSTERICAL. And R212, I can totally believe he did this, he was NOTORIOUS for being a cunt at Act Up meetings…making people feel "less than" because he could. During a crisis. Karma is so very very sweet.
Karma is a sweet, sweet bitch goddess.
Sesshie took himself to London Town/ All those meals at Prêt got him quite down/ Soaked up all the culture he could take/ Even artsy Brits found him a fake.

I want to know why no one fucked the skater? They have amazing asses.
One has to admire his resilience. He just keeps on going, and while it must be hard, it clearly has its rewards in terms of seeing stuff. Good luck to him. I would find it exhausting.
If h's really that terrible, does he still have friends?
I don't mean the fake ones who crowd around if you can give people work or access to parties, the other half of your critic's pair, etc.
I mean the real friends whose company you enjoy. The way he is characterized in these threads suggests someone who is entirely alone.
But is he? Does anyone know? Because the criticism he receives here suggests a kind of very minor monster/loser type.
He has lots of friends. Ian McKellen, Joyce Maynard, Cher, Oprah, Elizabeth II…
Elizabeth Taylor told Sessums James Dean was molested by his minister.
The people in the London posts all seem to be people he's met right then and there.
Small-town London.

R222. Cher loathes him. Oprah dealt with him twice. Hated his second book. Joyce Maynard…who cares?
Oh GOD….he just wrote about suffering thru a "silent migraine" while sitting in a cafe, (sponging off the WiFi)…..no one cares about your fucking femmy migraine….you fucking moron
What the flying fuck is a "silent migraine?" What an asshat.
Oh big news! Sessums got an erection on the train today in small town London. Reading about how hatchet face Peter Staley had sex with some loser. So granny Sessums felt a stirring in her smelly nether regions. EWWWWWWW
Mark Allen should have given him a cameo in this satirical video. It would have made it "perfectly ghaaaaastly!"
R228, I thought you must be joking but went to his Instagram and there the comment was.
In the "things I don't need to hear" category, "65-year-old man pops a stiffy on public transit" is in there somewhere.
What a thing for Sessie to share on social media.
He's so repulsive. Why he feels the need to let us know he's a sexual being makes my flesh crawl.
[quote] another Kevin Sessums thread
oh her
Someone should send this thread to her. Or is she still hobo-ing her way through London?
[quote]Reading about how hatchet face Peter Staley had sex with some loser.
Wow. Another one of this same type, where does one begin? Peter Staley strikes me as a type unique;y fascinated with himself who sees himself as the hero of a floridly written novel that it his life. Understandably, like Sessums, that leaves little time for actual employment, so the days are filled stripping one's past for parts to remonetize!
Staley's new book "Never Silent: ACT Up and My Life in Activism" will be read by younger gays and they, like Anderson Cooper who wrote the forward, will swoon. As someone who's seen him in action for years I often think, What would Peter be doing without AIDS? Would he have a job? Would he be living in 2021 rather than in this beatified past of ACT-UP and 1987 still?
I know I'm churlish, but after forty years in NYC, I've developed my eye to spot a real operator, a guy who can create a cult-of-personality narrative and cash in on it for notoriety or money. These types never seem burdened by a 9-5, if you know what I mean.
R235. I feel seen. I couldn't put it into words as eloquently as you did. But YES! Everything you wrote I have thought at one time and STILL DO. It kinda is a "you had to be there" thing, and LORD KNOWS, I was. Staley and Sessums are cut of the same cloth….only Staley isn't AS needy…..but "stripping ones past for parts" is SO ACCURATE…I feel like buying you a PRIZE!!
I've always known Peter Staley to be a gauche opportunist, and if anyone wants the real truth about the history of ACT-UP, they can skip Staley and go right to LET THE RECORD SHOW by Sarah Schulman.
So Staley and Sessie know each other? Because they sure deserve each other.

R240, not going to beat the guy up for what he looked like back in the day.
Every pot has a lid.
He looked all right.
R240. As someone said…"unfuckable"…..but that didn't stop Sessie from playing "nipple tweaking fag" games with Henry Geldzahler the most repugnant toad. sessie climbed Mt. Everest, to reach the valley of the dolls, now here he sits all broken hearted, came to shit, but only farted.
What is the famous story about him screaming "Someone fuck me NOW!" in Ptown?
R25- Fran Leibowitz! So nice of you to drop by.
He wasn't bad looking in his younger years. He does look biracial though.
He is from Mississippi…
a typical below average looking person who moves to NYC with an overinflated ego
He came across as so pitiful and victimized in his first memoir. I felt a little sorry for him.
By the second one he was insufferable…looking for the meaning in everything from dreams to stool samples.
How many memoirs does this queen feel he should write? None was enough.
I'm hoping that he will stop at two.
I hope for his sake he doesn't come here and read "his" threads."
I've never seen anyone else so laid out to filth on this site as KS. It would depress even the hardiest soul. Everything he does is fit for ridicule.
It almost makes one wish to cross his path someday, just to see if he's really that awful.
Sesshie posts and posts from the UK/More heightened connections ev'ry day/ Then his lunch was nabbed at the ballet/So he took himself to Cabaret!
R251. You reap what you sew….sorry not sorry. Sessums can eat hot dogshit on a flatbed truck going up and down Park Avenue for alls I care. I hope he DOES read it!!!😂😂😂
Maybe next time he won't keep the 12 grand he hustled for his dying dog via a GoFundMe. Oh I forgot, his "higher power" told him that keeping the money was the right thing to do! Fucking piece of shit.
[quote]You reap what you sew….sorry not sorry.
...but not for the same reasons we are.
He must know Muriel or someone else that runs Datalounge if all of those threads about him have disappeared.
But if he's so universally disliked, why did his GoFundMe raise that $12,000?
Who was contributing?
I know not every GoFundMe account is sustained, because the porn star Bo Dean tried it and got nothing. And he was paralyzed, in the hospital and penniless.
Granted, he was a notoriously scary character. But don't GoFundMe contributors nourish a soft spot for sexy boys?
I'm just trying to figure out how this story works. Is this simply a case of a disagreeable chap who's on top as long as he's connected, then loses the connections and has nothing left but his disagreeability? Is it that basic?
R257, Sessie used her GoFundMe campaign for sympathy to supposedly raise funds for her sick dog, which she promptly spent on herself after the dog conveniently expired. As for who those kind souls were who contributed, Sessie knows a lot of people and a few of them were suckered in by her sad-sack story, along with her claims she was trying to stay on the road to recovery. In other words: grift.
Who is most hated at DL? A) Kevin Sessums B) Aaron Schock C) Vivian Vance
He looks even uglier as a young man which is quite a feat.
R260. Ugly and mean mean mean, a true mean girl who was a cunt to most anyone who DARED speak to him. Now he hands out crumbling pieces of dogshit cake in snack sized baggies. A loser.
I, too, am amazed by the throngs of simpering dummies who are unable to see quite clearly that he's bad news, a grifter who spouts "grace" and "fellowship" and all the buzzwords — but is actually a twat. Wake up, Facebook friends of Sesshie, you're being duped.
Most of them merely humor him, it seems. It's easy to be a faux "friend" on Facebook, especially when you don't really care.
I may use GoFundMe to buy a Genesis.
Small Town London visit included being fetched by a driver to Elton and David's house. Selfies with Russell Tovey. Photo-op with Elton holding up a copy of Staley's book. (Hope it was a new copy.) FB if you must. No word if Elton's majordomo confiscated a Pret a Manger salad in the foyer.
Sesshie told David Furnish that he needed to get fucked. RIGHT NOW.
There were two young caterers at that Elton lunch, according to Mr Sessum's Instagram post. Not as servants, but as guests!
This is why homosexsheualism is dangerous: it blurs class boundaries.
I wonder if Sessums regaled Elton with how he dropped his ziti from the soup kitchen in the vestibule of some stupid antique store in Hudson. Maybe Elton gave sessie some new spex from his collection exclusively at Sam's Club. A mega superstar who has done more for AIDS than almost ANYONE, and a lowlife grifter sniffing around for lord knows WHAT. Oh he got a plug in for shithead Staley's book. He can FUCK ALL THE WAY OFF
Elton is a great big mark for any grifter.
I'm curious, how does Sessums know Elton? I assume he interviewed him back in the day?
His whole London trip seems so random - theater outings and protein boxes and "I just met this person - small-town whatever".
And who the hell is taking the photos?
He is ugsome but Sesshie does have an enviable Rolodex and apparently has enough charm to ingratiate himself with the "right" people or at least the ones he hasn't pushed away. That's been his entire career...climbing and grasping. He's like a character out of tawdry showbiz novel.
And, don't many of us have friends that we "like" but only in small doses every so often? He's amusing to hang out with for an afternoon once every 3 years.
Elton seems like a kind person who simply took pity on him.
My grandmother would always invite one or two people to our Christmas dinner who didn't have anywhere else to go. This kind of reminds me of that (although I don't think she would ever have invited Kevin - she had a strong bullshit detector).

Omg, his description of the fall on his Facebook is kind of hilarious. Why does he think anyone cares about this shit?
How pathetic to have to stay in a hostel as a man in their late 60s. He must not have any friends left there. Could Peter Staley not offer up his couch to his ex?
He's like a old gay version of Lily Bart without the good looks.
Lily Bart never ran naked through the Wellington-Bry ballroom screaming "I NEED TO GET FUCKED RIGHT NOW!"
So I'd say your comparison is erroneous, R276.
Too much exposition, but I do feel some sympathy for him. Aging and losing fame is hard to handle for some.
He's not even a hasbeen. He was never really a celebrity. He was an entertainment reporter who interviewed the rich and famous. He's a never-was. And that second memoir-unreadable.
Staley is busy re-ascending to fame via his memoir, and on the backs of his ACT UP alumni. His national book tour ego trip has no room for noodle-slurping post-meth exes.
I smell cat piss.
I believe that Sesshie's Messy Pussy could understudy Audrey II in the LIttle Shop revival.
No, that would require actual talent.

"Small-town NY. Where I am right now. Peter Staley asked me if I would meet him here at his car this morning at 8:55 to sit in it from 9 till 10:30 so he wouldn't get towed and/or ticketed. He has his all-day deposition starting this morning in his historic court case Staley v Gilead. I didn't hesitate to say yes but did tell him I was going to tell my sponsor that this counts as service this week not just an act of friendship. In fact, I had already been in an early morning meeting before getting here. He did make me this delicious bowl of oatmeal; he's as famous for his oatmeal to some of us as he is his activism. I joked with him as he was giving me instructions inside the car that in the old days I'd fuck him before an ACT UP action and now I'm sitting in a car eating his oatmeal as he sues a pharmaceutical giant for its greed. I have always known my support role and my place. Come to think of it "eating his oatmeal" would be a good euphemism for what I once figuratively did to him now that I am literally doing it.

"Small-town NY." This has become a nervous tic.
"Where I am right now. Peter Staley asked me if I would meet him here at his car this morning at 8:55 to sit in it from 9 till 10:30 so he wouldn't get towed and/or ticketed." = Peter Staley is too fucking cheap to pay for a parking garage.
"He has his all-day deposition starting this morning in his historic court case Staley v Gilead." Things cannot be historic until they have happened.
"I didn't hesitate to say yes but did tell him I was going to tell my sponsor that this counts as service this week not just an act of friendship." = WTF? Who says something like this to a friend?
"In fact, I had already been in an early morning meeting before getting here." With the sponsor, one presumes.
"He did make me this delicious bowl of oatmeal; he's as famous for his oatmeal to some of us as he is his activism." Oatmeal is nourishing and can be dressed up with fruit, spices, etc. But no one is famous for their oatmeal unless they are one of the three bears or they've been hurling bowls of it at public figures over the years.
"I joked with him as he was giving me instructions inside the car that in the old days I'd fuck him before an ACT UP action and now I'm sitting in a car eating his oatmeal as he sues a pharmaceutical giant for its greed." As one does.
"I have always known my support role and my place." = I have the self-worth of an earthworm's BM.
"Come to think of it "eating his oatmeal" would be a good euphemism for what I once figuratively did to him now that I am literally doing it." Oh dear. Not only is "eating his oatmeal" not a good euphemism for fucking someone (unless when you come you scream: "This hole was just right!"), Mr. English Sentence Construction seems to have gotten from us again away.
"Everything Connects." Um….no.
He's horrifying. He needs to get truly humble and just shut up.

Something tells me that GRAZIA didn't like being invoked for his incessant freebies and comps. He was probably over-using them.
R306, do you think his unceremonious departure from his latest job was tied to his London trip and all those shows, no doubt all comps? And where did the $$$ come for the cashmere sweater?

Wow. He REALLY fucked up his career with meth. I had a skirmish with the drug years ago and have seen it positively WRECK people's lives. I cannot imagine being unemployed and not having anywhere to go or a purpose- I went several months unemployed and was down to my last $30 when 9/11 happened and took the very first job I could find. I was pounding the sidewalk 12 hours a day until I got one. I think the greatest reason I got sober was that I was terrified of being unemployed.

Q: How can I get webpack to emit its output to two locations? My current configuration is as follows:
output: {
  filename: 'bundle.js',
  path: OUT_DIR
},

However I need bundles.js to go to two directories?
Can I accomplish this by simply passing an array of directories to path?
Or do I need to do something more complex?
Currently I have a bash script cpll which I have to type in manually after each build and it is tedious.
Hopefully web pack has a configuration option to send the output to two or more locations.
Research
google search
This SO question is 4 years old and does not have what I am lookin for - so
The documentation does not mention a way to do it here - webpack.
If there is not a configuration option how can I have it run a bash command automatically?
I tried passing it an array of strings instead of a string and it crashed with the obvious error:

Invalid configuration object. Webpack has been initialised using a
  configuration object that does not match the API schema.
   - configuration.output.path should be a string.

Passing an array will not work. Hmmm.
Trying another approach starting with a google - search
Brings up a possible solution - so
per request - complete exportFunc
const exportFunc = ( env ) => {
  console.log('webpack.config.js-exportFunc', OUT_DIR);
  return {
    entry: `${IN_DIR}/index.jsx`,
    output: {
      filename: 'bundle.js',
      path: '/Users/c/_top/ll-front/dist'
    },
    module: {
      rules: [
        {
          test: /\.css$/,
          use: [ 'style-loader', 'css-loader' ]
        },
        {
          test: /\.jsx?/,
          include: IN_DIR,
          use: {
            loader: 'babel-loader',
            options: {
              presets: ['@babel/preset-env', '@babel/preset-react'],
              plugins: ['@babel/plugin-proposal-object-rest-spread', '@babel/plugin-proposal-class-properties'],
            }
          }
        }
      ]
    }
  };
};

module.exports = exportFunc;

A: You can use webpack's multi-compiler mode by exporting an array of configs.
As in the docs:

Instead of exporting a single configuration object/function, you may export multiple configurations (multiple functions are supported since webpack 3.1.0). When running webpack, all configurations are built.

For example:
const config = {
  // your webpack config
}

const outputPaths = ["path/one", "path/two"]

module.exports = outputPaths.map(outputPath => {
  return {
    ...config,
    name: outputPath,
    output: {
      ...config.output,
      path: path.resolve(__dirname, outputPath)
    }
  }
})

As you're using a function config you can do something like this:
const outputPaths = ["path/one", "path/two"]

module.exports = outputPaths.map(outputPath => {
  return env => {
    return {
      entry: `${IN_DIR}/index.jsx`,
      output: {
        filename: 'bundle.js',
        path: path.resolve(__dirname, outputPath)
      },
      module: {
        rules: [
          {
            test: /\.css$/,
            use: [ 'style-loader', 'css-loader' ]
          },
          {
            test: /\.jsx?/,
            include: IN_DIR,
            use: {
              loader: 'babel-loader',
              options: {
                presets: ['@babel/preset-env', '@babel/preset-react'],
                plugins: ['@babel/plugin-proposal-object-rest-spread', '@babel/plugin-proposal-class-properties'],
              }
            }
          }
        ]
      }
    };
  }
})

A: You could use multiple configurations instead. Here's the webpack documentation link.
To avoid code duplicaion consider your current config as an object. Then duplicate that object and override the output section of the duplicated object. Finally put both objects into an array. Use that array as your new config.
var yourCurrentConfig = {...};

var secondaryDestinationConfig = Object.assign(yourCurrentConfig, {
    output: {
        path: {
            filename: 'bundle.js',
            path: SECONDARY_DIR
        }
    }
});

var newConfig = [
   yourCurrentConfig, secondaryDestinationConfig
];

Q: Unit test for classes with complex __init__ I have a class that has several methods and I would like to write unit tests for them. The problem I'm facing is that this class has an __init__ method that queries a database, imagine something like this:
class MyClass:

    accepted_values = ['a', 'b', 'c']

    def __init__(self, database_name):
        self.database = database_name
        self.data = self.query_database()

    def query_database(self):
        data = query_this_database(self.database)
        # clean data
        return data

    def check_values_in_db(self, column_name):
        column = data.column_name

        if any(item not in self.accepted_values for item in column):
            print('Oh noes!')
        else:
            print('All good')

Now, given this, I would like to unit test the last method using some mock data, but I can't because if I initialize the class, it will want to query the database. This is further complicated by the fact that to actually make the query, one needs an API key, permissions, etc., which is exactly what I want to avoid during unit testing.
I'm relatively new to OOP and unit testing in general, so I'm not even sure if I structured my class properly: maybe the method query_database() should only be called at a later stage and not in __init__?
EDIT:
Asked to add some details so here goes:
This class belongs to an AWS lambda function that runs on a schedule. Every hour, this class queries the DB for the last hour, and checks a specific column against some pre-defined values.
If any value in the column does not belong to those pre-defined values, it sends an alert email. I would like to test this specific functionality, but without having to query the database, but just using mock values.
I edited the code accordingly to reflect what I mean.

A: You can use unittest.mock to do this kind of stuff.
An uglier way is to override your class's init method in a mock class like:
class MyMockedClass(MyClass):
    def __init__(self):
        self.database = not_a_real_database()
        self.data = not_real_data()

and then use this new class in your tests.
For your last question, it depends on your project structure and frameworks you might be using. You should ask codereview for advice on your project structure.

A: You can still call a class method without making an instance of it, but you will have problems if you're trying to call attributes that you have defined in __init__.
You might also want to think about making a blank variable data outside of the __init__ and then call classinstance.data = classinstance.query_database() in your main code.


Since its establishment in Johannesburg in 1988, SkyNet Worldwide Express has grown to employ more than 1600 people with over 35 hubs countrywide and a fleet of over 800 vehicles. SkyNet is now one of South Africa's biggest express parcel and courier businesses and second largest mover of international traffic in the country. In South Africa, over one million parcels are moved by us every month. SkyNet is part of the Crossroads group, the leading black-empowered logistics solutions company in the country.
Internationally SkyNet began in 1972 when Simmonds Warner built a courier company in London that quickly expanded throughout the rest of Europe. By 1976 operations in Latin America began under the name of 'Choice Air Courier', hailed as the first complete courier network in this region.
In 1984 these diverse enterprises merged into a single worldwide network called the 'Sky Courier Network'. Since then, as 'SkyNet Worldwide Express', the company has grown extensively through over 200 major gateway cities globally to 1,115 hubs. It is now the largest independently operated distribution network in the world.

René Charbonneau was 17th century French medical missionary friar and a member of the Siam mission of the Société des Missions Etrangères. He was the first medical missionary to Siam. He arrived in the country in 1677.

René Charbonneau first provided his services to the Siamese King Narai as an architect, to establish a wooden fort on the frontier with the country of Pegu.

In 1681 or 1682, King Narai, who was seeking to reduce Dutch and English influence, named René Charbonneau the Governor of the island of Phuket, a position which he held until 1685. Phuket was already highly valued at that time for its production of tin. Charbonneau had received orders from King Narai to allow ships of all nations to trade freely in Phuket. In 1686, Charbonneau was replaced in this position by Sieur de Billy, the former maître d'hôtel of the French ambassador to Siam, Chevalier de Chaumont.

René Charbonneau worked as a nurse in the French hospital established in 1669 in Ayutthaya by the Catholic Bishops Lambert and Ballue, with Father Laneau as the chief physician. The hospital provided medical care to about 200-300 people daily.

The effective solution that's restoring architectural gems to their former glories.
Since establishing in the UK in 2005, Thomann-Hanry® have returned some of the UK's most iconic buildings to their pristine, original splendour. Winding the clock back by as much as 300 years on landmarks such as King's College Cambridge, The Ritz, the Bank of England and Somerset House, our patented façade gommage® technique stands apart from alternative processes thanks to its convenience and speed, its security, its impeccable eco-friendly credentials and its sheer effectiveness. Fundamentally different in nature to any other cleaning method, time and again it is this effectiveness that has won acclaim from property owners, managers and industry experts alike.
With none of the risks of over-saturation of brickwork and masonry that are unavoidably associated with traditional nebulous spray, DOFF and TORC cleaning systems, façade gommage® projects ultrafine dry particles onto the areas to be cleaned, dispersing them under low pressure across the surface. This has the effect of gently rubbing the dirt away, as opposed to water- and air-based abrasion systems which blast the surface, with all the risks of collateral damage that this entails. The result? No abrasion or increase in material roughness and impressive results in double-quick time.
The risk of damage to carved areas, particularly prevalent on older buildings, can also present a significant challenge for conventional wet and dry abrasion methods. Façade gommage®, on the other hand, maintains the spectacular performance it achieves on flat surfaces equally well on carvings – with the powder flowing around ornate carvings and cleaning perfectly across a variety of substrates.
The process is also highly effective in terms of its reach. Carried out from a cabin mounted on a hydraulic boom, façade gommage® is highly agile and can reach tight, restricted access areas that are out of bounds to traditional cleaning methods. Similarly, with the ability to extend upwards to 42 metres (14 storeys) in height from its lorry-mounted boom, façade gommage® stands head and shoulders above alternative cleaning processes that rely on scaffolded access.
