For the US, probably the election, and the Korean War.

Even if he doesn't say another word the damage is already done. I can't count how many people, including famous people with large followings, I've seen saying they will vote for him. If their states have write-in laws, they now will.

I was trying to figure out if Anthony Herrera is in this commercial. Probably not him it just looks a bit like him to me.

I have that SOD with the Jean Carol exit speculation. One of the first soap exits I probably knew about. Still upsets me 25 years later. Don Stewart in the Gold Light Beer ad in the first break. @zanereed

Not that it's a surprise, but the list of orgs and people bailed out by the sham PPP is infuriating.

I'd never seen this before. Such a moving, emotionally resonant Christmas episode, and so real, especially in showing Patty's continued mourning of her father and how she adores Stu (in her dream referring to him as father). And some fascinating, very early special effects as well. That Jo greets us at the end, comforting us after a "complicated" year, makes me more emotional than anything I've seen on soaps in a very long time. No Jo being shot in the head, Stu choking out Marge and calling her a whore, Patty being a budding murderer - just a simple, connection. Soaps, and the people who made them, understood more nearly 70 years ago than just about anything on TV today. This is what soaps should be doing for us today. This simple connection. We need it more than ever, and they betrayed us. They broke our hearts.

Heartbreaking. I think workers have much stronger rights in France so I hope they stay out until real changes are made. I wonder if any of those monsters were Q psychos, as so many anti-mask lunatics here are. https://www.businessinsider.com/anti-mask-costco-and-target-shoppers-throw-tantrums-viral-videos-2020-7

Ellen Pao, former CEO at Reddit, decided to say the quiet part out loud - everyone knew and no one did anything. The photo going around of Maxwell and Kevin Spacey sitting on the throne at Buckingham Palace made me feel sick. It was the perfectly putrid image of everything that has bubbled up over the last 10-20 years fusing together. I still have a lot of respect for the Queen, even with the protection she has seemingly given Andrew, but this whole horror show, along with the way Meghan Markle was treated, has eroded any other goodwill I had toward the family. Once she passes away I think it is time to seriously consider whether the monarchy has reached its natural conclusion.

Looks like Bob is back on there under another similar name, so a lot of his stuff will probably show up again.

That's probably part of it (although it's hurt his sales, apparently). The way Elon Musk, a Trump supporter who is reeling from the Epstein story coming back into the news, immediately jumped onboard made me even more suspicious. The sad thing is it's already worked, even if nothing else is done. A lot of younger voters are wary of Biden and the Democratic Party, and don't feel they have anything to lose if they have a laugh and vote for Kanye. Between this and Trump and the media managing to make the statues a bigger story than the economy or COVID or the bounties on American troops, they have all the pieces in place for the Trump comeback arc and Democrats being on the backfoot. If we soon get some "shocking" polls showing him and the GOP up in various places, then the fix will really be in.

That would be great. I hope it can happen. I kept hoping he'd post some soap stuff but other than a few fragments he didn't seem to have any.

The Fire Island incident is such shitty, selfish behavior, with far more consequences than the vapid beachgoers even recognize. One man who was there has COVID and has said he wants to spread it to other people (he also doesn't support the current protests - shocker). The sheer selfishness and entitlement and the homophobia this has sprung up (including comments about gays being responsible for spreading AIDS) are another reminder of how much damage even one or two nasty people can do. I was watching the Macy's Fireworks special last night, which was moving, if depressing, and one segment was devoted to praising those who pitched in to help with PPE (making masks, sending masks), knowing the supplies were so limited. The message was, basically, we know and you know you can't depend on the government. Where are we as a country that this is now just accepted and we have moved on? And what kind of a future can we even have?

This is one of those quack things I guess. Don't know if this is new...if so he's aged well compared to some co-stars.

Sick people cheering the method of running down protesters. Why they would want this type of ugliness normalized when it can so easily be turned around on them, I don't know. They are as stupid as they are vile.

The Talk benefited from being a pet project of the head of the network, and is now likely just still there based on inertia. I am surprised Let's Make a Deal has lasted; it must be very cheap to make.

@Vee

This is such a transparent ploy to help Trump. They're counting on a lot of younger voters and black voters to support Kanye and go along with the idea that Trump and Biden are just alike. And the media will wag their tails like needy dogs as it's a sexier story; it also helps distract people from Trump being so incoherent that he spends his half-empty hate rally blathering about "swipiang and sweeping" in Vietnam and Desert Storm. If his campaign has anyone sensible amongst the grifters, they will blackball anyone who thought it made ANY sense to try to run the dementia campaign that the Bernie bros were running.

It didn't help that Noelle and Jon had no real chemistry. I think Noelle's best moments were with Liz Hubbard, especially when she confronted and defeated Lucinda at the end of the show. It was the closure Trisha never really got to have with Gwyneth.

Not until the late '80s. I think we first saw it around 1983. I'm not sure. Thanks for the videos @Soapsuds . I have many complaints about GL but I still miss it every day and I still believe it could be thriving today with proper handling. So many of the characters felt like my friends and I mourn their absence, even as I know they were never real.

More money wasting and kickbacks and shameful huckster games. Just the most desperate pandering imaginable (and it may work for all I know). The only bright spot is if more people finally start to know the truth about Billy Graham.

Oh wow, was that just recently? I wonder where they were found or if there's any way to be sure. I hope they are being preserved.

I'm not sure if people think those of us who like Heather Rattray's Lily are trying to say she was very popular with viewers and Byrne wasn't missed. I don't think that's the case. I just don't really care. It does, yes.

Some beautiful moments here to help you get through a loud, sad day.

I still wish we knew more about that brief Diego vampirism story that was dropped. I remember they at least addressed the Marley and Jake rape when she was going after him, but still, I agree the whole thing was questionable. I'm just glad they let Marley have a redemption and didn't pack her off as the crazy lady.

I see that Trump had a hate rally tonight and I see that Mary Hart is yet another has-been who would happily watch people like me die. She can go to the same purgatory of worthlessness as Baio, Dean Cain, Kristy Swanson, and that ilk. [!@#$%^&*] all of them, now and forever.
