That is quite a personal story!

This is what I mean. I actually like the look of the dress from this vantage point. Instagram is so annoying, lol. Here's the photo. I "get" the dress from this angle.

Brooke needed a psychiatrist from the start. Whew, this is 80s, alright... desperately thirsty women, with the exception of Kristen, who they make look as if she is either non-binary or completely asexual. Also, there are dropped storylines right from the beginning. What happened to that grand plan that Bill and Alex were supposedly cooking up to make Ridge pay dearly?🤔

She and Serena both have taken turns missing the fashion mark. Her EleVen line rarely fails though. It's the best tennis kit line for women nowadays.

It's clear now that Days is using the streaming platform for entertainment in its own right and not just as a one-off to drive traffic to the "main" network. The brand benefits either way. Smart.

A lot needs to change, tbh. I read an article an article that mentioned an interview with George Clooney where he lambasted the lack of proper protocol on the set of the Rust movie. He said he never even hear the phrase "cold gun" in all his years of movie making and when working with firearms, the armorer always hands the gun to the actor, who then always examines the chamber and does test runs to ensure there are no live rounds fired before going further and no pointing the gun at upright (down at the ground then?) He said after the deaths of actors on set (including Brandon Lee, who was a friend of his), it's absurd that there would be such a lack of regard for safety on a set with weapons.

Regardless of the actual execution, this is a wonderful idea. I'm happy for the Days fans. Hopefully it will live up to the expectations of the fans. There's a big banner headline, so honestly, this was the first thing I saw when I logged in a few minutes ago. I don't know what it looked like before. I'm not even a Days viewer, and even I saw this! 😂

JMO but this seems like a terrible idea for the average Filipino.

Colorado again. Fortunately, there appear to be no fatalities.

I go up and down regarding the dress, depending on the angle but I love that she brought back the beads in some fashion for the occasion.

Electoral College? Oh my, what a mess and that does indeed appear to be a close vote.

While I understand why they're doing it, that the Dems want to present a united front, still...ugh 🙄 at letting Kyrsten Sinema talk.

Speaking of facing charges and finally, a reckoning-

Thought Adele fans might enjoy this.

^^The VP's trip was very successful, from what I have read. She is fluent in French as she attended high school in Montreal, but hey why give a woman any credit for intelligence and worldliness, let alone a Black woman. A lot of media is just not worth acknowledging, tbh. But I digress. While I have no intention of reading this book, this passage does illustrate that Bartiromo is who we think she is and has been for quite some time.

So far, he admits, he has no physical evidence. I hope Simon is right about his sources.

I didn't see the match but some tweets described him as being in tears.

Feels like that one has been already discussed at length in this thread.

Seems like a coordinated response from the bigwigs. WTA CEO finally responded, now BJK and others are tweeted their responses today. Better late than never, I guess. 🤨 Still doesn't answer the question of Peng's whereabouts but hopefully she's somewhere safe and maybe it's best her whereabouts are not broadcast to the public.

Seems like I found the answer- Lukashenko is trying to punish the EU for sanctions. According to reports, Belarus has been offering visas to desperate Kurdish Iraqis, even so far as, expanding flights into Belarus and having border guards direct migrants to the border with Lithuania and when that got too busy, the border with Poland. The guards, who pointed out gaps in the fence where entry is easier, even supplied migrants with wire-cutters and axes to cut through the fence. Once on the Polish side, migrants are pushed back as far as the forest, but have no way to get back to Belarus and are trapped in the forest in freezing temperatures with no food, some migrants have died of exposure. These migrants are being used as pawns, it's tragic.

The idea of Colleen and Scotty dating might have been a good one if they dated briefly during a time when there was still strong dislike between Traci and Lauren but that has since been resolved and neither character has had the benefit of strong writing in recent years to hope to revive that history- talk about sailed ships. The other unfortunate aspect of that is how underwritten Scotty has been written as an adult, to the point of neglect. Colleen, at least is a relatively well developed character (by today's standards) to be utilized without too much work but the recent characterization of Scotty is a mess and speaks to how poorly developed that generation of legacy characters truly are.

A few players like Alizé Cornet and Jamie Hampton are raising the alarm, wanting to keep the topic front of mind. It's weird how the tennis media will obsessively report on the work ethic of players, as well as minor on court incidents (Tiafoe vs. Sinner) with fervor while they seemingly ignore this. It very much reminds me of sectors of the so-called soap media that report breathlessly on certain topics, while ignoring things like actors avoiding COVID-19 safety protocols and posting transphobic messages on social media. How can we take these journalists seriously 😑? Don't get me started on the higher-ups at the WTA! That organization needs a real change of leadership.

Normally, I avoid these gossipy blogs and vlogs but I actually recognized the subjects in this particular video. When the host described the situation as a soap opera and then proceeded to yell "Soap opera music!" And OMG, guess what theme music was used at the :22 second mark??😵😂 Actually, the music begins around the :16 second mark. My God, he's petty though!
