Josh Marshall: Thinking About Trump's 100 Day Fail (TPM)
When we consider the 100 day marker, it is not so much that Trump has accomplished virtually nothing of substance. It is that nothing of substance is really underway either. That's the key thing.
JM McNab: "8 Hilariously Insane Acts Of Cosplay (In The Real World)" (Cracked)
Cosplay -- we're used to seeing it on Halloween, at comic conventions, and of course in the filthiest recesses of the internet. But while most cosplayers are content to just chill at conventions as Stormtrooper #8, some eccentric pioneers are trying to discover new ways to play their cos'es. They're no heroes -- they just dress like them.
Ted Rall: Sheryl Sandberg Is The World's Most Annoying Person (Creators Syndicate)
"Option B: Facing Adversity, Building Resilience" is the bestselling sequel to her bestselling 2013 tome "Lean In," which is a bestseller because every media outlet is pushing it and advises women in the workplace to get ahead the same way she did: be born the child of a well-off medical specialist in a rich enclave, go to Harvard without having to take out a student loan, suck up to a future U.S. Treasury Secretary while you're there, snag an MBA, and become best friends with Facebook mega billionaire Mark Zuckerberg.
Born William Lyle Richardson, this American actor is best known for portraying a grumpy but loving father in a movie, a title role in a TV horror series, and Murphy Brown's father. By what name s he better known?
Elmo Lincoln (born Otto Elmo Linkenhelt) (February 6, 1889 - June 27, 1952) was an American film actor.
Lincoln is best known in his silent movie role as the first Tarzan in 1918's Tarzan of the Apes as an adult (Gordon Griffith played him as a child in the same movie). He portrayed the character twice more-in The Romance of Tarzan (also 1918) and in the 1921 serial The Adventures of Tarzan.

Good old Elmo Lincoln. I haven't the slightest idea why that answer is stored in my cranium. Must be a Tarzan thing. Probably haven't thought about him in 40 years
Joe S answered:
That would be Elmo Lincoln. I used to love Tarzan movies and Tarzan comic books, but I lost interest after Lex Barker. After Lex it didn't seem like Tarzan anymore. Johnny Weissmuller was pretty good too.

Cast members of "The Godfather" movies were reunited in Manhattan, nearly half a century after the first of the legendary mafia films hit theaters.
American filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola reminisced with actors Al Pacino, Robert Duvall, James Caan, Diane Keaton, Talia Shire and Robert de Niro at a panel event organized as part of New York's Tribeca Film Festival.
The reunion marked the first film's 45th anniversary, and was accompanied by a double screening of parts one and two of the series centered on a powerful New York crime family.
The award-winning Coppola, who also directed "Apocalypse Now," pointed to the shaky origins of the acclaimed mob movie.
When shooting began rumors swirled that Coppola would be replaced. Paramount Pictures, which produced the film, wanted neither Hollywood legend Marlon Brando -- whose performance as Vito Corleone won him an Oscar for best actor -- nor Pacino.

"Big Bang Theory" stars Mayim Bialik and Melissa Rauch recently inked new deals for Seasons 11 and 12 of the CBS series.
After several months of waiting, the co-stars have finalized deals that will allow them to also enjoy hefty pay raises per episode. According to Variety, Bialik and Rauch will be receiving $500,000 per episode. This means that they will both be getting a $300,000 increase from their $200,000 per episode salary for the past couple of seasons. Last month, CBS renewed "Big Bang Theory" for what they envisioned to be its final two seasons.
At the time, the five original cast members were the first to sign their contracts. Jim Parsons, Kaley Cuoco, Johnny Galecki, Simon Helberg and Kunal Nayyar are expected to be given $1 million per episode for the next two seasons or 48 new episodes. However, Bialik and Rauch weren't given the same salary. With this, the five cast members decided to cut their per-episode salary to $900,000, so that Bialik and Rauch could receive their well-deserved raise.
Meanwhile, both Bialik and Rauch were first featured in the hit sitcom in Season 3. But they became regular cast members in Season 4. Since then, Bialik has earned four consecutive supporting comedy actress Emmy nominations for portraying the role of Amy Farrah Fowler in "Big Bang Theory." Amy also happens to be Sheldon Cooper's (Parsons) girlfriend.
Rauch, on the other hand, plays the role of Bernadette Rostenkowski-Wolowitz. She recently married Howard (Helberg), and they were blessed with a baby girl named Hallie. Even though Rauch has not been nominated for an Emmy, Bernadette's marriage to Howard, her pregnancy and the arrival of their daughter became major storylines for the TV show.
Apple fanboys have always had a reputation for undying loyalty to the brand, but Merriam-Webster is taking that characterization to a new level by using them as an example for new dictionary entry "sheeple."
According to the newly added word, a "sheeple" is an informal term that is used to describe "people who are docile, compliant, or easily influenced" and can be likened or compared to sheep.
To show the word in action, Merriam-Webster included two example sentences, including one that takes a shot at the folks who prefer Apple's computers and mobile devices over the alternatives.
In addition to "sheeple," Merriam-Webster also added the term "intersectionality," which it defines as "the complex, cumulative way in which the effects of multiple forms of discrimination (such as racism, sexism, and classism) combine, overlap, or intersect especially in the experiences of marginalized individuals or groups."

The Dubai government on Sunday announced the launch of "Dubai Font", the first typeface developed by Microsoft for a city, which will be available in 23 languages.
The font was developed simultaneously in Latin and Arabic script and is available to 100 million Office 365 users around the world.
Dubai Crown Prince Hamdan bin Mohammed al-Maktoum has urged all government institutions to adopt the font in official correspondence.
"It is the first font to be developed by a city and to carry its name", Executive Council secretary general Abdulla al-Shaiban told a news conference.
The tipping point for Chris Hurst came last fall while reporting on a shooting at a rail car factory. When the camera turned off, he wept.
Just more than a year earlier, the 29-year-old's reporter girlfriend was gunned down while conducting an interview on live TV. Now, Hurst was using the same truck that Alison Parker had used the last day of her life to report live from the scene of another shooting.
Hurst realized he needed a drastic life change.
The former TV anchor is now running for political office, challenging a National Rifle Association-backed candidate for a competitive Virginia state House seat in a firearm friendly part of the state. Hurst sees it as a way to honor the memory of the woman he thought he'd marry and to give back to the community that helped him through his darkest days.
"When we understand that life is fragile, does that mean we give up and say life ain't worth it? No," Hurst said at a local Democratic committee meeting in March. "That's when we say it is worth it, and we do what we can when we're here to try to help another person."

March 12 and April 15 were special days in Donald Trump's (R-Grifter) presidency: Of the 100 days that he's been in office, he tweeted on 98 of them. But not those two.
Had he misplaced his phone on those days, or gotten a cramp in his typing finger? It's impossible to know - but fun to speculate.
So let's track the 45th president through the @realDonaldTrump Twitter feed and examine what might have caused his rare social media silences.
On Sunday, March 12, media and public attention was focused on Trump's provocative and unproven claim - in a March 4 tweet - that the Obama administration had surveilled Trump Tower during the election.
"That was the most harmful tweet of his presidency," Matthew Baum, a professor of public policy at Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government, told International Business Times.
"We mortals do not understand you." That's the heartfelt cry from former UN climate chief Christiana Figueres, pleading with scientists to use everyday language to help counter growing public mistrust.
Figueres was giving one explanation of why scientists are struggling to get their message across to a sceptical public at a major conference in Vienna this week.
Delegates made time for soul-searching at the meeting in the Austrian capital, conceding that they bear part of the blame for alienating some people.
Just days after a historic March for Science in Washington, the experts owned up to failures including remoteness and condescension -- and operating in an "echo chamber of likeminded people".

Donald Trump (R-Crooked) said China may have hacked the emails of Democratic officials to meddle with the 2016 presidential election, countering the view of U.S. intelligence officials who have said Moscow orchestrated the hacks.
In an interview transcript published on Sunday, Trump gave no evidence backing his allegation, first made on the eve of the Nov. 8 presidential election, that China could have hacked the emails of his rivals.
"If you don't catch a hacker, okay, in the act, it's very hard to say who did the hacking," the president said in an interview with CBS "Face the Nation." "(It) could have been China, could have been a lot of different groups."
Trump has been dismissive of the statements by intelligence officials that Moscow hacked the emails to help Trump win the election. During the Sept 26 presidential debate with Clinton, Trump said China was one of many actors that could have been behind the hack, including "somebody sitting on their bed that weighs 400 pounds."
A South India sensation, a Hispanic-focused comedy and the highest-grossing film ever directed by an African American made up the top three films in North America on a culturally diverse box office weekend.
As expected, it was another runaway weekend for "The Fate of the Furious," which took No. 1 for the third straight week with $19.4 million, according to studio estimates Sunday. The Universal Pictures release also throttled past $1 billion globally, and passed its predecessor, "Furious 7," to become the highest-grossing imported film in China with $361 million.
The "Fast and the Furious" franchise, the latest of which is helmed by F. Gary Gray, has always been held up as a model of the diverse blockbuster, given its cast led by Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson. But the smaller films that trailed it over the weekend also reflected the box-office might of often underserved audiences.
In second domestically with $12 million and drawing an overwhelmingly Hispanic crowd was Eugenio Derbez's comedy, "How to Be a Latin Lover." The film is easily the biggest success yet for Pantelion, the Latino-oriented joint venture of Lionsgate and Grupo Televisa.
In third was "Baahubali 2: The Conclusion," a so-called Tollywood (Telugu language) film from South India, which pulled in a remarkable $10.1 million despite playing on just 420 screens. ("The Fate of the Furious" played on more than 4,000.)
Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to comScore. Where available, the latest international numbers also are included. Final domestic figures will be released Monday.
1. "The Fate of the Furious," $19.4 million ($68.4 million international).
2. "How to Be a Latin Lover," $12 million.
3. "Baahubali 2: The Conclusion," $10.1 million ($3.7 million international).
4. "The Circle," $9.3 million.
5. "The Boss Baby," $9.1 million ($15.5 million international).
6. "Beauty and the Beast," $6.4 million ($17.2 million international).
7. "Going in Style," $3.6 million ($3 million international).
8. "Smurfs: The Lost Village," $3.3 million ($11.7 million international).
9. "Gifted," $3.3 million.
10. "Unforgettable," $2.3 million.
