  1. My best to Eric Braeden and his loved ones.
  2. I am not going to go on about how this will ruin careers, because it won't - this is the industry, basically. I think my mistake was in confusing Steven Yeun with some of the characters he has played and forgetting that this industry is so often just bile and abuse, and the worst being rewarded or enabled (like Choe seems to have been by a number of people, including Anthony Bourdain [who, as we know, had toxic ties all the way to his last day]). And of course both Yeun and Ali Wong are friendly with Bobby Lee (who has his own history of "joking" comments about assault) and Tiffany Haddish as well. Patterns in patterns. I'm disappointed, really disappointed, but that's on me for being naive. I was also reminded when I saw Bill Hader, who is often billed in interviews as being a recluse, out for a paparazzi stroll with Ali Wong, that Hader is best friends with Fred Armisen, who has his own steamer trunk level of baggage. This is the reminder I needed that even if I admired the talent of certain artists, I shouldn't see them as anything ever worth more than the minimum level - flickers on a screen. I definitely won't be watching anything else by any of the people involved in this (Hader, Wong, Yeun), not that they are going to need my very limited money anyway. They're all doing great - they know how to play the game, and we're just left to watch.
  3. This is what everyone knew would happen, and it's likely going to expand even further (supposedly moving to private schools next). Much of the power broker media will still turn a blind eye, as they have a vested interest in their hero, and they have nothing but contempt for lgbt people anyway. I don't want to imagine what Florida, or most other states, will be like in a few years. I have noticed some of Trump's flacks, like Grennell and Trump Jr, speaking out against some of the obvious gay-baiting and trans-bashing (even as Trump himself says something else entirely, as shown in his latest pandering to transphobia in his NRA speech), as the sassy sloth's flacks burrow further down. This isn't to praise the Trump people - they don't mean anything they're saying, and they're not even saying much - but more to show that the pig has committed himself so feverishly to spreading hate and torment that he has managed to make Trump, who has a 4-year record of far right victories, look like a centrist in comparison.
  4. Oh. Thanks. For some reason I thought Abigail came back briefly then left again (not counting her brief return in 2009).
  5. I guess that now deleted tweet from someone who claimed to have heard stories about him is now bearing fruit.
  6. Sadly, the sites now just farm tweets by way of content, although given my disdain for Mark Consuelos for twenty or more years, if he's getting a negative response, I'm happy to believe it.
  7. Didn't they try to pair Bruce back with Abigail? I think I also remember him being shirtless and passing out as part of some coma story that Kim was also in...
  8. They do, but it's always hard for me to find that show easily available for viewers outside of the UK.
  9. Shortland Street, as another part of its 2023 revamp, has decided to include a "patient of the week" format (complete with looks at the home lives of said patients), somewhat similar to what GH and The Doctors used to do with more patient focus. I can't say whether it's working out that well or not, but it's certainly a shift away from what you often get on soaps in recent years. This format started with the March 20, 2023 episode. You can find all the episodes from recent months on Youtube.

  11. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vx11uCEhfbI Sharon Wyatt could really break your heart.
  12. Seeing the tweets upset over mushmouth Nathan Parsons not returning surprised me, as people can't have expected him to want to come back to what is likely packing peanuts considering he's worked a fair amount in primetime. Then again, the other big upset on there was over some article claiming Spencer and Trina are no Luke and Laura, so pick your poison. At least we're away from the days of fans on there sending actors death threats...I hope.

  14. I know a job is a job but I'd hate for Daphnee to have to work for Frank again.
  15. Pentagon leak promoted by pro-Russian network run by former Navy noncommissioned officer on US soil - Raw Story - Celebrating 19 Years of Independent Journalism
  16. I'd heard a lot of good things about Beef, probably Netflix's best-reviewed new shows in years, but after seeing this about David Choe, one of the actors cast in the show, I don't think I'll be watching it. Ali Wong has locked her Twitter account. (this has him talking about sexual assault - I think he later claimed this was a made up story, but it's still disgusting to hear)

    Thanks as always @victoria foxton
  18. I don't usually post Maga Haberman, but I'm making an exception this time because of the meltdowns from some of that pig's fans:
  19. A cheap laugh, but at this point it's about the best we'll get.
