I Am A Swede

Deep down I feared that Kavanaugh would be confirmed, yet I held out hope that somehow justice would prevail..... I hate to think about the message this sends to women (and men) who have been sexually abused, and to men (and women) who have sexually abused.

^^ A powerful statement from Ms Ramirez. I wish that it would matter, and it should matter, but sadly I don't think it will matter......

Yes, I stand corrected. Trump's time as president may be limited, but by the time he leaves (or is forced out) he will have caused a lot of damage.

^^ I guess that shows how much work remains to be done when it comes to sexual harrassment and abuse.

You all have my sympathy. If he (Kavanaugh) is confirmed, which looks likely, it will be even worse than Trump being elected president, since he will be able to influence policies and laws for much longer.

Today it's exactly one year since the first article with allegations against Harvey Weinstein was published. I don't think they, or anyone else, could have imagined the impact this would have and the enormous can of worms that they opened up.....

I've been watching B&B the last few days here for the first time in years, and I'm not feeling this new Ridge at all. Ronn Moss wasn't much of an actor but he was Ridge. I'm not sure how far behind we are, but Steffy and Bill have just slept together and right now everyone else is slowly finding out. It's actually quite good soap, with a major reveal like this slowly finding its way around the cast. Tonight's second episode (we get two each day) ended with Ridge showing up in Bill's office. One thing that struck me was that Brooke's livingroom seems to have shrunk in size. Last time I watched it looked much bigger. I guess it's a result of shrinking budgets?

Unlike the Republicans then.....

So true! And that is a big reason why I think that Kim returning is a mistake. They just want to capitalize on her reputation as the Queen Bitch of Emmerdale, when she was much more than that, plus the fact that none of the important people she interacted with are around anymore.

Well, after reading some spoilers about Kim's return all I can say is: I knew it! I knew this return would destroy Kim's legacy. So frustrating! It also means that I have completely changed my mind about possibly bringing back other favourites from the past. Now I want each and every one of them to stay as far away from this show as possible. No Sam, no Matt, no Dolly, no Kathy, no Sandie.... Leave them in the past and let their legacy remain intact.

Have I gone blind? I can't seem to find Falcon Crest anywhere? Surely it couldn't have fallen so low in the ratings that it didn't make the top 68?

Frankly, the last few years it almost was a waste of time. But I often have a hard time letting go of shows that I once loved, and I really loved this show.
