Every now and then this theme song from their promo pops up in my mind. Do others remember this?

Let’s see if that’s going to happen. 👀 Hopefully they will get it under control.

Too much sake in the karaoke bars. And Japan was showing such discipline until this latest variant.

The Media/Journalism Thread
Journalists focused so much on the Vice President describing herself, including pronouns that no one reported on the actual substance of the meeting.

The Beyoncé Thread
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.

Absolutely loved Ms. Alice’s work and often wondered how she had been. May she Rest In Peace.

Not that I want to be in a position to defend Bernie but, from what I read, he seemed to be upset about an earlier draft of the CHIPS bill that didn’t include a provision that would prevent corporations from moving to other countries to produce semiconductors once they got the money. Apparently, a provision was added after that before the bill got final approval by both sides. Though Manchin will talk out of both sides of his mouth and claim that he regularly communicates with Biden, while claiming that Biden had no role in this deal, just what does he believe Chuck Schumer has been doing the entire time? Not keeping Biden in the loop?? Seriously?🙄

Wow, another interest rate hike? I know two people who have been looking for a house for well over a year. This will undoubtedly make things worse for them in terms of mortgage rates. First, it was people moving from NYC and snatching up houses with big $$$$, the part of the tri-state area where I live has been the slowest to recover/build up housing stock. At least there’s this,- The Politics Thread
Oh, I was always under the impression that one of the Thomases leaked it, but I a, just dubious about this story of John Roberts trying to convince Brett Kavanaugh to “save” Roe v. Wade. The Roberts SCOTUS has always seemed to teeter on the edge of disaster.- The talk co host joins YR
If Y&R still had Hilary, bringing back Leanna Love could’ve worked seamlessly in having them team up.- The Politics Thread
It seems like it took several weeks for them to come up with this story that somehow Roberts was trying to convince Kavanaugh to vote to preserve Roe v. Wade. Two conservatives…were ever going to vote to preserve Roe v. Wade?- The Tennis Thread
Wow, I remember Jamea Jackson. This is awesome.- As The World Turns Discussion Thread
One of myriad reasons why I am adamantly opposed to the selling of these videos. As an artist, I think it’s unethical (sorry y’all) to profit off of someone else’s creative work. Recording someone else’s creative and intellectual property does not (or at least it should not) permit another person who was not directly involved in the creation of that work to profit from it. P&G, I know doesn’t care but they have been completely derelict in their duty to safeguard and manage their intellectual property. That goes for the ridiculous character and couples edits that folks have been putting on the seller’s market for years. Now mind you, I don’t see a problem with YouTube channels streaming episodes, especially seeing that most won’t profit from this (perhaps only if they try to participate in revenue sharing from ads, which I don’t think they are allowed to do as they are not the creators of the original source material). I appreciate that many will put a disclaimer stating that they do not profit from posting these video uploads— that is a display of ethics. My one quibble is the very poor visual quality of most of these videos that are uploaded (my eyes my eyes!) P&G could put a stop to this by hiring a small team of interns (maybe from a film preservation program at a local college/university) to start a PGP/PGN YouTube channel and dumping, er uploading, a bunch of their episodes there. The quality is probably as good as, if not better than what it already out there on the platform, it likely couldn’t be any worse. 10 years ago when SoapClassics digitized episodes and issued box sets, the process required a lot more work and effort. Today the tools are better and faster, easier to use and far more accessible and far less costly. And unless P&G wanted to sell streams or subscriptions to streaming they’d have to digitize for acceptable quality, otherwise, they could upload “as is” similar to what the B&B YouTube channel is doing.- The Woman King September 16, 2022

As talented as Anthony Herrera was, it was absolutely ridiculous that the show would resurrect James Stenbeck after Paul put several bullets in him at the very end of the 1980s. There was a reason why it happen in the final quarter of the final year of the 80s. James never should have been brought back as anything other than in nightmares in Paul and or Barbara’s subconscious. It actually might have been interesting if Paul had a recurring dream every anniversary of him shooting his father, or at least the 10th anniversary of when it happened, but ATWT wasn’t about that life by then.- YR promo week of July 26th: The end.
I know I rarely watch anymore but I swear, it’s like anytime I watch even a brief piece of Y&R, Victoria is being attacked by a husband. - Coronavirus/Covid-19 Discussion Thread
