ARTICLE: Children’s & Family Emmy Awards Categories Removed from Daytime Emmys; Spun Off Into Separate Standalone Ceremony
This is probably for the best. There is so much children's programming now, it could probably merit its own ceremony. Also, it was always a bit weird when they'd show a clip of Erica Kane slapping someone in the opening montage, then follow it up with Big Bird waving or something. 😂. Television is now so fragmented and specialized that it is now beginning to look like having a smorgasbord of programming in one show where every category can get equal attention no longer seems feasible.

How convenient that the miscalculation occurred just in time for elections earlier this month.

Although, those calling Badosa "Sharapova-lite" are likely using the term as a pejorative, unlike here, where Bouchard is most likely using the comparison in a complimentary way.

I'm not sure about Berrettini's prospects for a career with few injuries, in any case, it seems like the ATP WTF are his personal bugaboo. Despite reaching the RG final, Stefanos has not had a very good year, if we were to compare it to previous years. I don't know if it's the result of this prolonged pandemic but the past two seasons have produced some indifferent results for me.

Some people refer to Badosa as Sharapova-lite, lol.

ALL: Soap Stars - Where are they now?
This is cool. McKenna Grace with most of the original cast members of Ghostbusters discussing the new movie.

The Politics Thread
Despite the headline, the article states that consumers are spending more than they have in over a year (which, of course carries its own problems with supply not commensurate with demand causing inflation). Walmart, Home Depot and the rest of their ilk are certainly fairing well, certainly better than they were under the last guy in the White House and yet these companies' CEOs are the first ones running to open their checkbooks to the Republican party. Talk about cognitive dissonance. The strong hold of everlasting greed.

B&B: Bold from the beginning
Kristen, Daddy issues aside, is probably the one of the few, if the only major character from the show's first year, who holds up fairly well in the 21st century. The others...not so much, lol. But we are constantly told by other characters that Kristen is "a problem" because she is not hoe-ing it up all over town and actually wants to... surprise...nurture a career!😵

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.

B&B: Bold from the beginning
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.

"Beyond Salem" and the new generation of streaming soaps
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.

IATSE Sets Strike Date
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.

Peacock Announces ‘Days of our Lives: A Very Salem Christmas’ Holiday Movie
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.

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.- IATSE Sets Strike Date
Electoral College? Oh my, what a mess and that does indeed appear to be a close vote.- The Politics Thread
While I understand why they're doing it, that the Dems want to present a united front, still...ugh 🙄 at letting Kyrsten Sinema talk.- The Politics Thread
Speaking of facing charges and finally, a reckoning-- Adele Thread
Thought Adele fans might enjoy this.- The Media/Journalism Thread
^^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.- The Tennis Thread
So far, he admits, he has no physical evidence. I hope Simon is right about his sources. - The Tennis Thread
