Baltimore will no longer prosecute drug possession, prostitution, low-level crimes
A year ago, as the coronavirus began to spread across Maryland, Baltimore State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby stopped prosecuting drug possession, prostitution, minor traffic violations and other low-level offenses, a move aimed at curbing Covid-19's spread behind bars.
That shift — repeated by prosecutors in many other cities — didn’t just reduce jail populations. In Baltimore, nearly all categories of crime have since declined, confirming to Mosby what she and criminal justice experts have argued for years: Crackdowns on quality-of-life crimes are not necessary for stopping more serious crime.

Thomas Middleditch Accused of Sexual Misconduct in Allegations Stemming From Now-Closed Hollywood Club (Report)
The Los Angeles Times on Sunday published a report about the Hollywood club Cloak & Dagger in which almost 10 women — including four former staffers — accuse Adam Bravin and Michael Patterson, co-founders of the now-closed club Cloak & Dagger, of turning a blind eye to sexual misconduct among members at the club as well as at its many music festivals.
Among the accusations are those against Middleditch, who broke out with his role on HBO's Silicon Valley and now stars on CBS' freshman comedy B Positive.
In the report, Hannah Harding details the alleged incident at the "LGBTQ-friendly, members-only club," at which a typical night featured "experimental artists perform[ing] eerie, sexually charged ceremonies each week in the back rooms of the Pig 'N Whistle bar," according to the L.A. Times.
On the night of Oct. 22, 2019, Harding says, Middleditch approached her on the dance floor and made what the Times described as "lewd sexual overtures" toward her and her girlfriend.

The chat show host told The Sunday Times that he’s long been “fascinated” with how young queer men today consider having children.
“It’s like, do you know how much that costs?” the 57-year-old said.
“It’s so weird isn’t it, that there’s now an expectation that we’ll get married and have kids. I’m glad I’m not having to face those decisions.”
Norton, who is single, said he has never wanted to go down the single parent route and have children on his own.

Ghana may outlaw LGBTQ activism “in all its current and future forms”
Pink News reports that MP Samuel Nartey George, one of the bill’s co-sponsors, said government figures must “uphold our traditions, culture and religious beliefs” by fighting back against “the growing advocacy for homosexual rights in Ghana.” George is referring to Christianity, an import into the country from European colonizers who instituted sodomy laws.
“We have taken a stance and announced our intention to present a private members bill to expressly criminalize and ban the advocacy and act of homosexuality in all its current and future forms,” he said. “The proposed bill would strengthen and augment existing legislation on the subject.”

Lucille Ball's daughter Lucie Arnaz defends Nicole Kidman's casting as comedy icon... after Debra Messing plugged herself for the part instead
Lucie noted that the public was 'enthusiastically commenting on the choice of casting that was not exactly announced, but sort of leaked the other day through the press. And you know, it’s a done deal but the contracts aren’t actually signed, which is why I haven’t said anything publicly about it.'
She laughed and added: 'But I felt I should just at least try to calm the waters here. There seems to be a lot of discussion about Nicole Kidman."“It should be Debra Messing!" “It should be Carole Cook!" I don’t know.'
She stated: 'It’s the story of Lucille Ball, my actual mother, not Lucy Ricardo, and her husband Desi Arnaz, my dad, not Ricky Ricardo. There will be humor in the film but it is a story of the two of them, and how they met, and what went right with finding the show, what went wrong – their relationship, their love affair.'
