Just as Twitter had begun to manage their obvious bot problem. This will certainly encourage a return of the Saudi bot army as well as further empower the state run bot armies of China as well as the other unsavory figures.

The way everything is just tumbling out recently, the GOP must really want Cawthorn out like yesterday. I appreciate outlets refusing to show the video. There are reports that the man is his “cousin”.

She sounds very self possessed in that interview and I do believe her when she says that, although she loved playing Samantha in the original SATC series, she’s moved on. I have seen her in other things after the original series ended and thought she was great in just about all I saw her in. While I was reading this interview, I couldn’t help but think how I would like to see her in something with her Mannequin co-star Andrew McCarthy (I know, random, right?) Maybe they could play a married couple in that sitcom she was thinking about.😉

The request for privacy after spilling tea about his estranged wife’s pregnancy and paternity is quite the dramatic flourish.

I hope I didn’t miss it, but I would love to hear the rundown on the results of the race between Shontel Brown and Nina Turner from @marceline.

White supremacists on Elon Musk’s twitter are gleefully, claiming that these women couldn’t have been qualified, as the reason for these layoffs.

Didn’t her current show in the U.K. get about 10K viewers recently? From what I have read, both her show and Piers’ shows are faring pretty poorly.- The Politics Thread

In one of the articles, it said that Jerry verDorn contemplated becoming an English teacher. He would have made a wonderful English teacher.- The Tennis Thread
Everyone looks and plays like it's the end of the season. Maybe these pay cuts are getting players down. The only person who looks like he wants to be on court is Djokovic and I can't stand him so that's not enough reason for me to watch.- B&B: Bold from the beginning
Seriously, Deveney's eyes were closed after the car went off the embankment. TPTB obviously reshot scenes with Deveney's eyes open and intercut them with the previously shot scenes. I hate it when production takes the viewers for fools. Just terrible.- B&B: Bold from the beginning
IMO, the moment the original actress who played Beth Logan, Judith Baldwin was gone and the show decided to replace her with an actress that looked like her complete opposite, it was only a matter of time until the Logans would fade in terms of prominence. Storm and Katie never had much story to speak of and Donna's stories usually faded fast and as of when I had been watching, Donna is a plot point in the poorly written Deveney and Thorne story. The writing made the Logans unsustainable and it became especially clear once Judith Baldwin was no longer a part of the cast.- The Tennis Thread
Having said all this, y'all have to let me know tennis manages to get some if its swag back because it no longer has it.- The Tennis Thread
While I don’t believe in making prognostications over anyone’s career prospects (especially someone who is still a teenager), the idea that (as some were trying to assert) Coco would be the “next Serena” was always a long-shot at best. I have always said that she was just as likely, if not more to be like Amelie Mauresmo who didn’t win a major until her mid 20s or hey, Flavia Penetta who had a respectable career before winning her sole major title then retired. If Coco stays healthy, she can have a very good career, as it is her prospects as a doubles player has a lot more upside, especially if she chooses her partners wisely.- The Politics Thread
In terms of the quest to overturn Roe v Wade, anti-abortion advocates will probably look to use the same mechanism that they used to prop up slavery for centuries— state’s rights. I am surrounded by states that have decided over recent years to strengthen and enshrine abortion rights into state laws, but for a large number of states I know this is not the case.- The Politics Thread
Progressives, of AOC and Bernie “that’s not the reason” why the vote failed. Well, it’s likely at least part of the reason. The JFK8 union drive was so successful because it was compromised of current and former Amazon employees who had a personal connection and stake, not politicians looking for more camera time. Also, the majority of the workers at this S.I. are part time workers who might not see working at Amazon in the long term to be thinking about benefits, breaks and raises. At JFK8, those were full time employees who had expectations. ‘Having said all this, it was messy to have Bernie and AOC sidle into Staten Island (none of whom are their constituents nor have they shown any inclination that they want them there) the day before voting takes place. Just unfortunate. ‘In future, I hope the Amazon union has realized that they didn’t need Always On Camera nor Bernie. They were successful without them.- The Politics Thread
Having Bernie Sanders and AOC get in on this union drive initiative just before the vote was probably not the best of ideas.- The Politics Thread
It’s long past time for some folks to have that conversation with their meemaws and peepaws, imo.- Fresh Prince of Bel-Air rebooted as drama
When I say that Smith’s instincts as a producer are much stronger than his instincts as an actor, this is what I mean. https://shadowandact.com/bel-air-is-officially-peacocks-most-watched-series-8m-accounts-watched-season-1- The Politics Thread
Yet, I am seeing people try to blame Sotomayor or someone on her staff for the leak. Others are trying to throw Biden into the blame mix when his SCOTUS pick doesn’t even get in until the summer. When are people going to acknowledge the obvious answer that misogyny is what led us all to this place?
