Haha. One X staffer said that there was a “99% chance” that Musk was lying about there being a DDOS attack. https://www.theverge.com/2024/8/12/24219121/donald-trump-elon-musk-interview-x-twitter-crashes

Who is undecided at this point? I really don’t believe anyone who has been alive during Trump’s administration and the pandemic can truly and honestly be undecided. Not anyone who has lived her in the U.S. Nah.

Me too. How could I have missed this post?

Harris is still VP with a job, although Vance may not feel like he has work to do in the Senate. Also, Trump who was having rallies even when he wasn’t running for an elected office now puts in very few appearances on the campaign trail?

When Jerry verDorn was on those reunion specials, I am not sure they had clips. I would have loved to see he and Maeve and Melissa talk about the dynamics at work in those scenes. Sadly, I doubt those reunion streams have this. If you see something like this, please let me know. I would love to see it!

That’s wonderful! Thanks for sharing this with me. I miss seeing these two on my screen together regularly. Does Tamara have her own YouTube channel? I would love to see video clips from her mom’s birthday party, looks like fun!

Trump stealing music of a man whom was known for composing and performing Southern soul music, some of the Blackest of Black music…that Isaac Hayes? The man nicknamed “Black Moses” Isaac Hayes?? For why?!

I don’t think I got to see these in real time, it was probably years later but every time I see them, I can’t help but think, man, are these courtroom scenes compelling! It would have been nice to do one of those reunion livestreams where both Maeve and Melissa talk about what was going on in and behind the scenes on the days these scenes were filmed!

They may have right-wing zealots terrorizing migrants and immigrants in a daily xenophobic rage but the Brits sure do know how to generate those Kodak©️moments!

Byrne should just make the leap over to Truth Social and Gttr (or whatever it’s called) where no doubt she would sound like the most sane and rational one on those platforms and they’d be willing to overlook that pesky expectation that an officer of the law would actually adhere to the law. It’s logical that, given her husband’s legal quagmire, she’d be deadly afraid of a former attorney general. Anyways, This interview with President Biden really got me at moments.

Sadly, the genie is out of the bottle and I expect Los Angeles to display even more gaudy examples of brazen sponsorship. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/08/10/world/olympics/when-olympic-sponsors-go-rogue.html

Sound bites can be appealing but I hope this will give people the impetus to actually read Ifill’s book, filled with insight.

As amusing and bemusing as this odd story is, I still wonder when the MSM will do their jobs and explicitly call out Trump’s lies as actual lies and stop using every soft-focus euphemism they can reach for. This dancing around obvious facts is beyond tiresome. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/08/10/us/politics/trump-helicopter-crash-willie-brown.html#:~:text=It just wasn't Mr,emergency landing in New Jersey.

😳😂I just saw this. As a little girl in the 80s, one of my older brothers was in a crew. I have got to show this video to him!🤣

Speaking of joy, President Biden seems intent on not letting others steal his.

I have been in contact with some friends who were at the Phoenix rally and from how she described it, the livestreams didn’t begin to pick up the excitement that was in the arena. My friends have told me that they intend to canvas and phone bank for Harris/Walz. I watched by livestream last night.

Has the Olympics broken breaking? The soul and art look like they are sorely lacking.

The Dutch, at least, are attempting to adhere to some sensible protocols when it comes to avoiding COVID (and not functioning as a superspreader) at the Paris Olympic Games. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/08/08/world/olympics/paris-olympics-covid-19.html

Haha, that trigger warning about Lily @DRW50. Yes, it was a bit much, especially since it wouldn’t be that long before she would throw Dusty over for Holden. I do remember this episode. Scott Bryce always did pathos very well.

Oh wow, I didn’t know that. Years ago, I did read someone ask why she and her sister looked as if there were a huge disparity in their ages, though they were very close in age and another person responded “cigarettes”. I don’t know what to say about the cosmetic surgery. It’s sad if that’s why she did it, but issues like that, can be more complex than meets the eye. Hollywood is a rough place, especially for women and double it for women of color, where there is the perception that “Black don’t crack”. Kim is someone I would definitely be interested in knowing what happened in her life. She and her fiancé Spencer (played by Sheryl Lee Ralph’s brother) were both med students at Hillman and the show could just as easily build the show around any kids they might have had.

That was my very first thought. They gave him the Tony Orlando hairstyle circa 1970s.

I’m not even gonna get into the ethics of being in close proximity to teammates who didn’t know he had COVID. I did think it was odd that he was expending so much energy in the walkout and preparation for his race-why not conserve energy? There’s a saying that tennis players say: if you’re fit enough to show up, you’re fit enough to compete, no excuses.

It’s so odd when I get a premonition—to paraphrase Stevie Nicks- I keep them to myself. After watching Letsile Tebogo place 1st in his Heat, ahead of Noah Lyles, I got this feeling (a premonition, if you will) that it would be Tebogo getting the gold in the 200M. And here we are! And now, consider the geopolitical dynamics of the Javelin gold medal going from India in the Tokyo Games to their archnemesis Pakistan in Paris.

Oops, wrong thread. Carry on!
