Actual number of jobs added, at what wages and in what industries will always be a far more accurate indicator of who is working and who is not in the U.S. than the "unemployment" metric, where demographics are always left off or fall through the cracks, because they are under-reported, or simply not reported at all. Even having said this, black and Asian unemployment ROSE. How is the current occupant of the White House going to spin that in his pitch to black voters?

People are skeptical of these numbers, with good reason.

Amber Riley speaks.

Kamala Harris verbally dismantled Rand Paul.

Exposed.

What dates did Frank and Maggie leave the canvas? I don't think there is a video of that time anywhere. Were they still around in the summer of '85?

Just saw that video of the Buffalo PD knocking an elderly man to the ground and I wished I hadn't. It is a terrible thing to see, especially close to bedtime. Then the BPD lied and said he tripped, did they not see the video?? I've decided not to post it because it's too disturbing.

I laughed so much when they were discussing the shrunken head and Michael Swan talked about talking to the tennis ball, lmao! I think I had heard that the two dated, it might have been on either one of their social media.

I mean to post earlier but ICYMI

That was an enjoyable reunion conversation. I still wish there were some clips inserted because the actors have done a lot of work and don't always remember specific story details and having an audio visual aid could be very helpful, but yeah, Reed and Swan actually had time to talk in this one, which was appreciated. I do think Alan needs to really make a concerted effort to get Tamara Tunie or Peter Parros or even Count Stovall on a reunion livestream.

Wasn't she a pregnant woman who confronted a man that Rose was on a date with?

Not to turn this into a Moore fawning thread but I respect her a great deal. Talent aside, she's simply good people. I remember last year when she was in the Bronx with other mothers protesting gun violence against people/children of color. Not many people would've committed hours of their time in NYC's poorest borough. There were no other celebrities there, so it wasn't like a big media event or anything. Like @Khan said though, she's a fabulous actress and for me, she was one of my favorites on ATWT.

I also remember Ms. Gleason for a small but very poignant scene she performed with Cynthia Nixon in Sex and The City.

SMH.

Well, it looks like a Democratic Socialist did win a contest, and oh, look, she's a black woman! In fact, if memory serves me correctly, the only two DSA candidates to win on Tues/Wed. were both POC. Isn't that something? Bernie Bros. must be steaming.

If GL had the more dynamic stories during that time, ATWT certainly had the more dynamic young cast because their actors were ALWAYS leaving! It's certainly good for the actors but bad for the show. Imagine having to write around that level of instability. Regardless of what people think about Meg Ryan nowadays, she was probably not easy to replace. Imagine having to replace Julianne Moore! Gregg Marx was part of a supercouple when he left. And TPTB were likely relieved when HBS and Marx clicked, having replaced another highly popular couple in Margaret Colin and Justin Deas.

Oftentimes, the NYTimes can be utter crap but boy, was it glorious to read an uncensored quote of "Fu*ck Trump" in black and white in a news article. Now that's actually all the news that's fit to print.

I'm very fuzzy on specific storylines on Generations, did they ever address anything to do with race?

Gabrielle Union at NBC, Taraji P. Henson at CBS, the micro-agressions at CBS and the shady business that went on with that Lethal Weapon series. The equally shady business that caused black producers to flee from ABC. The list goes on and on.

These networks would do well to hire more black creatives instead of using black talent to build their networks' "street cred" before promptly dumping them once the show or timeslot gains momentum. Perhaps then I'd believe that they were doing more than just performative posting. Seriously, when's the last time you saw a one hour drama featuring a black family?

@DRW50^^That theme sounds like it could be the same saxy variation on the ATWT used years ago, in the 80s, except in this scene the music is fainter, as if an echo, I guess the situations are completely different, so they tweaked the versions to suit the mood. Was Joseph Breen cast because they wanted a Gregg Marx clone? I just noticed the resemblance, particularly in hair and styling.

It wasn't even as nice as a "striver", in most of those cases it was the one "uppity" sibling that had to be 'brought back down to earth' by the "hood" sibling. In that case, you can add Jessica Griffin/Lamar Griffin (ATWT) to that list. You also had Tyrone Jackson/Jazz Jackson (Y&R) and whatever the hell that storyline that they were involved in, was about.
