Time for the more savvy youngins to talk to their tíos, tías, abuelitos and abuelitas. By the way, the largest groups of Latinos in the U.S. are Mexicans and Puerto Ricans, something that BBC article neglected to mention.

This industry needs to start over. Fresh.

A small bit of food for thought, probably more trivia than anything else but, I have been thinking about how the recent mini scandal with P&G and one of their recently acquired brands might possibly have an effect on the PR for this show. In a deft stroke of ingenuity, there has been apparent diminution of P&G’s role in the production of this soap, which is probably for the best. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, nevermind lol.

Janet Jackson, bless her heart, clearly doesn’t read the newspaper or even watch a legitimate news program. Some time ago, I posted about celebrities sometimes being far removed from reality. Living in rarefied air, I think I said then. Exhibit A. And as someone who lost an older brother a year ago,of course I empathize with her loss at this time.

Lauryn Hill is joining the Lin-Manuel Miranda’s concept album for the Warriors …yes, that Warriors. Meet Lin-Manuel Miranda and Eisa Davis' All-Female Warriors; Ms. Lauryn Hill Also Joins Upcoming Concept Album

Again. Sadly, this was a preoccupation that I mentioned almost a year ago.

And her campaign has more money to spend. Harris campaign reports spending nearly three times as much as Trump in August

This reminds of Kathryn Hays, in a way, though Vanessa and Kim were on opposite sides of the same coin. Vanessa could be cool to people, to the point of icing them out. Kim was perceptibly a warmer character who came off as “sunny” but when she snapped, it could make your head spin. Judging by the “Golly!” and “Kiddo”s, just by her tone, she made it clear how she felt. John Dixon was on the receiving end of both eye rolls, haughty laughter and a shaking of the head, so we always knew how Kim felt. Neither actress got their due for how consistently they delivered their performances.

Thanks for providing the links. According to what these links say, whinge is actually an older word than whine. It’s not slang. I have heard people in academia use the word. Mainly in the U.K. though.

Isn’t whinge a word that mainly British people use to essentially convey the same thing?

Maeve could do her own unique version of what I like to refer to as the ‘soap opera seethe’. I don’t watch any of today’s current daytime soaps (hopefully that changes next year) but I doubt anyone does something on this level. The restraint to hold back fury, while giving the appearance of having ice in one’s veins that they could freeze someone completely out.

YouTube is streaming a marathon of Season 1 reboot.

A milestone.

You’re welcome. I’m watching too!

Too late by Maná’s standards lol. They are much more well known than him so he needed them far more than they would ever need him. Wise move to dump his azz ASAP. Some people are claiming that it was in response to being misgendered but his reaction in the moment was to laugh it off which make me believe that he saw the response from Maná and tried to shut it down. Too late. Republicans are stuck with him and it couldn’t happen to a more deserving group.

The premiere episode of Season 2 has been uploaded to YouTube for free.

Oprah is hosting a virtual town hall tonight. Do people know that she just started her official YouTube channel?

Personally, I wasn’t at all thinking the name change had to do with one name being problematic, but that Duprée might be signaling a very distinct genealogical signpost.

For many years, As The World Turns had a strong connection to Chicago. Many of the characters frequented Chicago on business and commerce. From what I remember (someone can correct me if I’m wrong) Tamara Tunie’s character Jessica Griffin, although the character was born and raised in the Bronx was living and working in Chicago when Tom Hughes recruited her to move to Oakdale to join his law firm.

And it showed, particularly during the pandemic and even afterward as many people skipped screenings and checkups for years. One final note about the Teamsters leadership.

I mentioned this upthread too.
