The times they are a changin'...

By Frank Pallotta

Soon "I read it for the articles" will be more believable.

The iconic men's magazine Playboy said Monday that it is planning to drop fully nude female photography from its pages.

The news, first reported by The New York Times, is bound to send shock waves through the magazine industry, since Playboy has been a part of American popular culture since its debut in 1953.
The magazine's redesign, which will reportedly take place next March, appears to be a reaction to the ever-growing accessibility of online pornography.

So ... basically its a slightly more refined Maxim. Probably ought to just pull the plug and let it die with some dignity.

I subscribed for about 8 or 10 years but got tired of the homogeneous blonde haired (real or bottled) fake boobed, girl of Hugh's likings airbrushed until they all looked pretty much the same and not so real.

They've always been smart and have constantly changed in subtle ways through the years to match cultural trends. I'm guessing they've seen (or think) what used to be their core readership migrate to magazines like Maxim, so they are just moving over to try to recapture that segment. And obviously nobody is going to buy a magazine for graphic content they can get more easily online. I hope they survive. They had a legitimate cultural voice in the 60s-80s era but have sort of lost that in the last 20 years. It would be great to see Playboy taken seriously again.

The Dutch version of Playboy will not turn into the same direction they announced. Good for them :-)

Anytime in the last half dozen years I've heard or read a story about a magazine - any magazine - doing anything, my reaction is always the same ... "They still print that?!?!?!?!"

It's about time, I thought people only bought Playboy for the articles anyway.  This is a last ditch effort to keep from killing the magazine that started it all for Hef.

      Now you may not agree with these but once you get the speed dialed, super fast, true rolling greens yield a lot more holed putts from 10-15 feet range = birdies. Also, the rough wasn't terribly penal. On a separate note, it seemed Berger tried to cash in on his lead. Didn't play bad or anything but you could tell dude had already blown his load the first two days. And then Akshay stepped up. I mean the dart for the eagle was ridiculous.  Fun watch in a long time.

      Day 1 (9 Mar 26) - starting up again with a week layoff due to travels.  Played with the men’s group for the Monday shootout.  Was good to play, had some rust especially the long game, especially getting proper weight shift.

      Day 204 3-9 Wrist arch through downswing and getting wider with backswing. Need to continue working on getting trail arm "reconnected" as it still seems a bit off with wider backswing.

      Saw these today, this is a scam.  Joined in 2026.  Click his name and then his profile.  2 posts, no friends, one item for sale.  These clubs are probably takes from Temu. Facebook

      My Swing (Ty_Webb)

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      Range again today. A few freezers and a few smoothies. If I add a little speed I swing further arms go deeper and lower and more across again. Really like where this freezer got to on backswing:   This is a smoothie (ish). Clubhead tracks up the hands nicely but the things go a bit wrong: At normal speed: Lastly one shortish pitch shot. Pitching some days I come out and can drop it on the flag. Other days it’s going sideways. Like missing right or left by 10 yards from 50 yards and nothing in between. I suspect it’s from the hands coming out and the cut across. If I release it on that line it’s going left. If I hold it off it’s going right and then it’s timing. When it’s off it’s off. Feels like if I can get that under control it will tighten up a lot.
