That's such a great picture of Finn! These ads are great y'all are some true collectors. Looking at these ads, you get a better sense if what were the storylines going on a that time. YouTube (as lovely as it can be for watching and at the very least, better than nothing) does not give a true representation of the full slate if storylines that existed at that time. Back then, if a character appeared in an ad, you knew they had actual, significant storyline. Nowadays, they have ads where you'll see a character appear and you know darn well that character has no discernible storyline. Are these times listed as Western time? On the East Coast, when B&B started airing, it always came on at 1:30p.m., ATWT at 2 p.m.

Zverev?

The actor who plays Adam/Victor Jr. probably should have just been cast as Chance.

Ha! I was coming here to post this, but glad I didn't have to.

I had always intended to get vaccinated but I wanted to be around the fewest people possible, so waiting a little for supply to exceed demand sounded like a good option, considering the fact that I have the benefit of having almost no interaction with other people. I still intend to wear a mask, maybe not the double mask I wore today.

Biden being white was never going to help with whether the opposition party opposed him or not. Biden being white helps with white liberals in his own party, who were skittish about backing Obama up with things such as the 2009 stimulus bill ( which is why the amount of stimulus was so anemic) and the ACA, which ended up being less than what originally intended, (i.e. no public option). Not sure who goes around thinking that McConnell is anything but craven or would actually clear a path for Biden to accomplish his agenda, but those persons would be sadly mistaken.

😂🤗 At first I was supposed to get Moderna, because that was all that was listed, but when I checked the day before, I saw both Moderna and Pfizer listed (yay VAMS 🙄🤨). The pharmacy asked me if I had a preference and I said no, then they asked if Pfizer was alright and I said yeah. Now though, I have noticed that the date I originally scheduled before the first dose is 28 days-- the window for Moderna. I am trying to see if I can push up the 2nd dose for the 21 day window associated with the Pfizer vaccine timeline. Only me! 🤷🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️

It is way too early to tell what type of player Alcaraz is going to ultimately be, whether exceptional or mediocre. For crying out loud, he's 18, his physique has not even developed yet. We don't know what his agility or speed or resilience will be as his body changes, which can affect a player's career as much, or more than talent. Tiafoe got to the final of Estoril a few years ago, so I wouldn't dismiss him as some 'tomato can'. I wish he had stayed under Higueras' tutelage a little while longer though, because I thought Higueras made a great difference in Tiafoe's game, particularly on clay. Good for Pavs. I don't know what to make of her career overall, but I wouldn't count her out because every now and then she shows signs that she could have a big breakthrough. And let's face it, on the WTA side, anything can happen these days.

Thank you for your service 💕. Your participation helps all of us because your feedback is truly the public's first line of defense. I hope that all of these vaccine manufacturers live up to the trust that you, as well as the public (myself included) are placing in all of them. You are participating in good faith and you definitely have my appreciation. Also, guys...I got my first dose.

From Spears' comments, it appears that she finds these documentaries as intrusive and exploitative as the tabloids.

Oh my goodness, the Muzak in the restaurant during the meeting scene between Emily and Brock @ 29:00 is "Emotion" by Samantha Sang/Bee Gees. 😲 Don't know how I figured that out so fast, lol.

It crossed my mind, I wonder how far along the Internet Archive has gotten in digitizing that massive collection of VCR cassette recordings from the Marion Stokes estate?

Naomi Osaka is co-chair of the next Met Gala.

When I first heard that Johnson & Johnson was getting into the business of making vaccines, I was wary. Very wary. Disclosure: a few years ago, I was asked to participate in this opinion survey/focus group, ostensibly given by some PR organization. There was a list of companies and supposedly, I had been chosen "at random" 🧐😏 to give feedback on J&J. One of my comments was that I did not trust the company mainly because of their talc scandal and the fact that they had done so much to cover the dangerous effects of their product. About a year later, I read that Johnson and Johnson is working on a vaccine. I had hoped they wouldn't get government approval, but unfortunately they did. And here we are.

What about an "Eat The Rich" rally? Bezos would probably hate that though. With him stepping down from his position at Amazon, I suppose he will have more time to pronounce edicts to be made into memos like this.

Fast Girls and Kidulthood are two films that I always meant to watch but never did. I am unfamiliar with this actor, as I cannot claim to have seen anything he has been in. That being said, I hope a thorough investigation will be conducted and justice will be done. Society has a huge problem in the way it allows some people to engage in reprehensible behavior, while others are left to suffer inequity and mistreatment. There must be a way to make wholesale, meaningful change for the better, while not losing sight of individuals at the root of these issues. I personally am tired of it, I want it fixed for the better. It's kept too many people with massive potential in the shadows, making do with less while horrible people seem to thrive.

I would like to believe that if the Brooks family had remained on the canvas, there would've been a newspaper and Michael would have read all about Sheila's exploits and misdeeds in the morning or evening edition.

Measles would not have made such a big comeback over the last decade and a half, if not for the anti-vaxx crusaders, imo, so sadly, it appears that a significant number of people will not get vaccinated, no matter what- the article cites those who will use the lack of herd immunity as an excuse to chuck it all and claim the vaccines are ineffective. I wish that the message if herd immunity had never entered the public consciousness in the first place. Health officials should have kept it relatively simple and emphasized the benefit of not getting violently ill, being hospitalized or dying as benefits of full vaccination as the most important aspect. The U.S. is not New Zealand, herd immunity was always going to be an illusion. The whole argument of anti-vaxxers and conspiracy theorists is that "you can't trust the government". Why give them more aspects in which to cling to their conspiracy theories?

Kathryn Hays should have been at least nominated in the Best Actress category for the Daytime Emmy. Such a disgrace that she wasn't nominated. Would it have been so bad to have more than one nominee for ATWT?

Herd immunity was always a dubious target, I always believed this, especially as much of the U.S. never fully committed to the type of lockdown strategy that New Zealand, Taiwan, Australia, or even Vietnam had committed to. I also think it is preposterous to believe that the U.S. can be protected from Covid-19 when surrounded by a region still in thrall to the virus.

I meant did they show a memorial service on screen?

Sad that the show didn't even try to bring back Jordana Brewster for Hal's memorial, although...did Hal even have a memorial? I seem to recall something being held in a bar.

Yeah, no, I don't have time for Dowd.
