Veleka Gray appeared on Y&R in two different roles at the same time, IIRC. Soaps are in no way serious now, sadly, but this isn't why, in my opinion.

Hopefully they won't be killed off. I haven't seen their run.

@Vee One of the most gifted composers of all time. His work on Fire Walk With Me alone never leaves my head.

I knew it. I knew she'd do this [!@#$%^&*]. This is why I would get mad when people would say Georgia didn't matter because Democrats had the majority. She's completely selfish and untrustworthy to the core. If Warnock had lost I think she would have switched to the GOP.

Don't think I'd ever seen this one. That Hazel is a trip, especially the mirror scene. @Paul Raven @dc11786 @soapfan770 @victoria foxton @Vee @slick jones @SoapDope

@Vee I can't believe that article first came out this year. Feels like so much longer. I see that she is still playing victim, claiming she did all this because people weren't supportive enough of her knee surgery. People only felt sorry for Nancy Kerrigan for about three months, I'm not sure what the hell she expected.

Angela Lansbury interview about midway through this. I did not realize just how close she was to ending Murder She Wrote at this point.

A special show for Neighbours as it moved to Channel 5, including many interviews and backstage moments. They really ramp up all the dramatic material in this (for promotional reasons) which has the side effect of making the show sail right into Acorn Antiques territory - the scene of Susan passing out after Toadie has a panic attack and is ushered from court made me laugh, I'm ashamed to say.

I'm seeing a lot of despair over how close the race was and how can this be in America or in Georgia, which reminds me of how many online expect too much. It was extremely difficult for Democrats to recapture the breaks of the 2020/2021 period, and to defeat a football hero, even one who was a shockingly inept candidate. They beat back the most basic of cynicism and identity politics. Georgia is still not a blue state, and has to fight to keep the elements of a purple state. Warnock should be credited for his difficult feat, as should Stacey Abrams and everyone else trying to stop the state from going backward the way others like North Carolina did. May they manage to still hang on even as the media coronates DeSantis 2024. The knives are out among a certain set for Mitt Romney's niece. (Ned Ryun is a lunatic). We'll see if it goes anywhere. If you need a laugh: Speaking of jokes:

This is a great example of Kirstie's more underrated talents (there's a real stillness and subtlety in this until the big final outburst - the camera was just left on her face to tell us all we need to know).

I think I did too. That and the scene where she and John return home at the end and terrify everyone out because they've both completely lost their minds by that point are probably what I remember most. I think I also saw It Takes Two in a theater, now that I remember.

When I was a kid, my parents watched Cheers. I thought Kirstie Alley was an interesting presence, as everyone on the show was, but I was more drawn to her movies, which were often not good (I'm not talking about Wrath as I didn't see that one for a while), but which utilized her energy more, whether it be boisterous, fragile, sleepy, or ethereal, sometimes in the same scene. The weird movie with Tom Selleck and killer robot spiders, the weird movie where she was married to Scott Bakula and slept with his brother Sam Elliott (and it gets even weirder...), the manic Madhouse with John Larroquette, cult classic Summer School, with peak Mark Harmon, and Look Who's Talking 1, 2 and 3, which gets progressively more and more bizarre, from Elias Koteas as her gun-toting, nutso wingnut brother to Lysette Anthony as a temptress trying to steal her man, leading her to have fantasies of weeping in a morgue while dressed in French gear. I'm sorry about what she became, but I can't help thinking of what she used to be and how unique her aura was. I will miss that, and what never was.

https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/bob-mcgrath-dead-sesame-street-original-star-dies-1235274833/ I grew up with Bob, and Luis and Maria and Gordon and Susan. They always made me feel safe and happy. It really hurts letting them go.

With the claims out now of TJ having an affair with a GMA producer that Robach knew about (and was friends with until very recently), this moves to levels of increasingly toxic sleaze. Speaking of sleaze, and delusion, this is laughable. Ross Barkan, known for many bad takes, is begging people to pay $40 to read Matt Taibbi's swill because otherwise they have no right to say it's swill.

Sometimes I forget how many of the leaders and activists who cling to the far left are desperate to push as hard as they can towards Trump and other extremists - even as doing so would just give the death blow to unions. They do not care. This guy is just posting outright fanfic bullshit when he's not cheering union leaders going on Steve Bannon's hate show.

From one repulsive, morally bankrupt con to another - Bimbert is already trying to get hearings for Tara Reade against Joe Biden, with Tara jumping into the replies. I'm sure Biden would love to get her under oath... @JaneAustenThat's a wonderful story. I sometimes feel like I don't take enough time to appreciate the Democrats in Congress who just want to do their jobs and help people.
