Chris Cuomo is in the wrong profession.

Speaking of that hot-button word 'bi-partisanship'- Still waiting for DeJoy to get his walking papers.

For weeks, I have been telling my mother that the next step was likely going to be that vaccines would be available through doctors offices and that she will likely be able to get her booster shot the way she already gets her flu and pneumonia vaccine.

The BBC is such a fail. They barely acknowledge their history of racism and sex predators but they absolutely must investigate this interview from 1995, but not the media's overall history of trying to bully people, or how one of their biggest media bullies became Prime Minister. M'kay.

Now that Hannah-Nikole Jones was turned down for tenure after conservative backlash, can this myth if the highly liberal university system finally be put to bed already? This is no more true than the myth of "liberal Hollywood".

Mr. Mooney was a prolific comedian, so much so, that he had different eras of fans--The Hollywood Shuffle era immediately comes to mind. His humor was the definition of incisive but was blanketed in truth and you couldn't but laugh, even if things got a little uncomfortable. Artist usually do make most people uncomfortable. R.I.P.

This thread provides a decent summary of the case against Trump/Inc.

Yikes at the audio/video syncing issues but it's nice to see an episode where Nella is actually working as a nurse, further proof that she was NOT a candy striper, lol. Too bad there are almost no episodes on YT of Nella in the nursing program with Meg. That scene with the nurse who refuses to care for Hank because he is the partner of an AIDS patient is a reminder of where society was where HIV and AIDS were concerned--the prejudice. There also seems to be a hint of homophobia in the nurse's stance as well. Also a reminder, perhaps that while we judge the characterization of Hank and his relationships from able millennium perspective, the reality of what it took to get this story onto daytime television, on perhaps the most conservative network at the time is a whole other matter.

The SDNY has always been handling the criminal investigation. It was the NY AG that was conducting the civil investigation. They are joining forces. The NY AG always maintained that should there be any evidence of criminal wrongdoing, they would turn it over to the SDNY, where the District attorney was already handling the criminal case. The difference now is that the NY AG now has the authority to 'get in' on the criminal investigation. Again, presidential pardon only has power in federal cases. This is not a federal case, neither the criminal, nor the civil. This is NY jurisdiction. SDNY stands for Southern District of New York, which is essentially New York City. It is not a federal case. Notice that the Justice Department has no active part either investigation because this has to do with activities concerning Trump Inc., not the presidency.

Pardon means nothing for the investigation, as it's not federal.

Just as I'd suspected and hoped, the NY AG's office (i.e. Letitia James) is no longer relegated to investigating civil charges against the Trump organization, now she has joined forces with the SDNY and is investigating criminal charges! Good!!

Shrugs. She and Scott Bryce used to have dinner whenever he went to L.A. for work. They weren't dating. Finn, like LF do portraits of friends and family, perhaps Swan too. Who really knows? It's cryptic. 🤷🏾‍♀️

😁

Happy Birthday to Janet Jackson. Hoping she's indulging in the Pleasure Principle in celebration 🥳.

It sounds vaguely familiar that alcohol may have been involved in some of those DV incidents but I am not entirely sure, as I try to minimize how much news about his dreck that I consume. I wish he'd just go invest in some therapy and leave the rest of the population alone.

Swan and Reed dated over 30 years ago. I was referring to them. I'm going to go on ahead and admit that, unless I see documented proof, I don't believe that Carter and Swan were in a romantic relationship. Just call me a 'Doubting Thomasina'.

Also, he's a domestic abuser, so I don't expect anything from him other than wretched behavior. I just wish he'd stay out of sight.

We've all discussed her first marriage to Weber. Check the old posts. Also there was a whole entire thread about soap stars who were married to other soap stars on their respective soaps and ATWT actors featured heavily, including Finn. Old news. They're not related but whoa, the coincidence of having two left-leaning Southern families named Carter! That's one mighty coincidence. Somebody might want to consult Skip Gates!

Unfortunately, not surprising.

While nowhere near as bad as Schroeder, he has shown some off-putting behavior. The most recent that comes to mind is the sh*tty way that he treated Janet Hubert on the reunion show when both Hubert and Will Smith, as well as the rest of the cast tried their best to extend the olive branch. I was looking to hear that maybe the piece was edited somehow but there was no explanation from him. It just made him look like a jerk. Maybe both Schroeder and Ribeiro have Napoleon complexes or something, IDK.

Besides the fact that both Schroeder and Ribeiro insist on ruining my childhood memories of Silver Spoons, I think that something is really wrong with Schroeder. I mean, really wrong.

I have never heard anything about them dating. In fact, I had heard that she was daring a doctor before all the problems began for her. I know she has been divorced for a few years and has two grown daughters, who hopefully she has reconnected with by now. I hope she is doing well and getting her life sorted for the better. The Vegas incident did indeed make news on we discussed it on this board. I know that Swan and Reed dates and Reed seems pretty liberal, bordering on downright progressive, but they dates a long time ago, so it is possible that one or both of them have since changed in their political views. I cannot even imagine Finn, of the Carter family, cousin to Jimmy Carter being romantically involved with anyone with Swan's current political views. Swan has some pretty bad stuff on his IG (I recently checked) and if you see Finn's Twitter, she is without doubt a Democrat, in the tradition of the Carter family. I'm sorry but I am going to need some solid proof that they were actually together as a couple, lol. I mean it.

Taiwan, New Zealand, Vietnam and other Asian/Asian-Pacific Island nations have been among the most proactive in this. Probably due to their experiences with the SARS epidemic in the early aughts.

Signal boost!
