Sorry to hear about you’re getting COVID-19 @Vee. Wishing you a speedy recovery back to full strength. In terms of the accidental delivery of Alex Jones’ phone data/messages, some people believe there are no accidents. Whatever it was, it’s karmic justice afaic and I hope the penalties for Jones are high and numerous. He’s a horrible person who deserves to be made to hand over every last cent to the people whose lives he has made unbearable. He also deserves jail time.

Degrassi: The Next Generation
Did you peep Tessa Campanelli’s reaction to Joey in all his glory? The show really played the long game in how they played that story out. Those one-line zingers were everything! “Hi Daddy!” - Kathleen to expectant father Shane ” I’m a wench!” -an excited Melanie. ” I must have order!” -Snake, no doubt preparing for life as a high school teacher and administrator. ”This stupid piece of junk!” -Joey, future car dealership owner, as he angrily kicks the tire of his car. Spike, contemplating her unplanned pregnancy possibly ruining her life, as the peppy music and closing credits zip through. Spike, the mother of the next Degrassi generation. I hope this person does more Degrassi High, there’s so much more material to draw from. Also, I love how everyone basically failed driver’s Ed except for Nancy, who on Monday would drive into the Degrassi parking lot, with best friend Tim in tow, riding in what looks like a shiny new mini-coupe.😂

The Beyoncé Thread
It seems like Kelis’ true beef is with the Neptunes over song credits. If she did indeed get screwed out of song credits, as she contends, she needs to pursue that legally. Her stated contention with Beyoncé is what she perceived as the disrespect between two Black women in the music industry because according to her, Beyoncé didn’t even give her a “heads up” that the song was being released, although she did admit to being sensitive. Let’s not pretend that Beyoncé has never been sued though. Des’ree successfully sued and got an entire album pulled so that Des’ree’s song could be taken off the album before Beyoncé’s album was re-released. Also, speaking of Lemonade, didn’t a visual artist have lawyers issue Beyoncé and her record company a “cease and desist” order because the video used artwork without the artist’s permission? Beyoncé has interpolated other artist’s work, it’s just that very few have done anything about it, probably many have considered it flattering. I did like the concept of Lemonade and I found it amusing how uncomfortable some people were with the album. Admittedly, I do prefer Solange’s work, as an artist, I like when artists take risks and draw on traditions to create something completely different.

Degrassi: The Next Generation
@victoria foxton Here’s a good example of what I was talking about. This article talks about a dance piece that full frontal nudity, both men and women, being recalled by another PBS station and only shown in the NYC area. https://www.nytimes.com/1972/02/20/archives/dont-look-now-busby-but-some-of-those-dancers-are-nude.html

I remember PBS showing a LOT of nudity when I was a kid. 😂 Channel 13 was surprisingly explicit, mostly after 8 pm on weekends though.

Even the states where abortion bans are unlikely to happen need to improve their resources but wow, the states where abortion bans are happening have horrendous numbers. The mortality rates and teenage births are incredibly high.

Kelis is having a moment taking the Neptunes and Beyoncé to task over sampling a song that she sang. Beyoncé is no stranger to these conflicts, so it might not even phase her.

"I just think the timing could not have been worse and it came totally out of the blue," Collins said. Besides conflating the entire issue, this is coming from the same woman who threw her support behind Brett Kavanaugh? Who continues to say nothing about the shady dealings of the Thomases? You’ve got to be kidding, right? https://news.yahoo.com/sen-susan-collins-warns-democrats-014651712.html?soc_src=social-sh&soc_trk=tw&tsrc=twtr I wonder what Susan Collins thinks of her fellow GOP colleagues disrupting critical funding that ailing veterans needed like, yesterday? Which is the more egregious?

All because they want to strike back at Democrats for the recent consensus on two bills, Republicans are willing to make veterans suffer.

For the last several weeks I have been thinking of how awful Joe Manchin was and now here comes Susan Collins to remind of how much more awful a human being can be.
