Injury is difficult to contend with but it looks like Lehecka had an absolute fit.

Byron Allen is not still trying to buy Paramount, is he?? https://finance.yahoo.com/news/thegrio-lays-off-video-pod-180744484.html

It’s not your fault. I blame Musk.

When I asked this question, somehow I suspected that Kent wouldn’t be fully relieved of his duties where Y&R is concerned. I would only have allowed myself to believe if had there been an official press release.

About “The Gates”, I really hope that MVJ avoids the pitfalls that today’s daytime network soaps have fallen into, staying wedded to the same tired tropes and stereotypical themes. Leave the old 20th century Dynasty style catfights where they belong. Women can be as strategic and calculating as any man, show them as captains of industry who are capable of moving and manipulating people and situations as if they are grandmasters moving pieces on a chessboard. 21st century boss moves is something I would like to see. (*Insert GIF of Emily Stewart, seated behind a desk, reclining in a chair , heels atop the desk with a smug expression on her face-if I ever find that clip*).

Why has this not been renewed? Not a good idea to allow a program that helped bridge the digital divide and in an election year. I know that the war in Gaza has dominated political discourse but it’s just not good policy to let something like this lapse, it gives people the impression that government doesn’t care about people in need. The Affordable Connectivity Program Kept Them Online. What Now?

This scene between John and Lucinda is so much fun to watch. Do today’s daytime soaps even know how to do this anymore?

I recently read that this is her most successful tour ever. Wow.

When I was in grad school, I used to use a brand called Sophocles. I was able to get it at half price because I was a student and that screenwriting software was the best one I have ever used, superior to FD. I used it lol throughout my MFA program and it never gave me one single problem with typing my screenplays and television scripts. I had read that it was most likely that the developer was bought out by the makers of FD who quashed the software. If my laptop hadn’t died, I would still be using it. It was that good.

Is there an omitted story here? Is Miss Janet Jackson trying not to say that Michael Jordan was vying for her attention at one point in time?😮

Gift link: Law Firm Defending Trump Seeks to Withdraw From a Long-Running Case The Plaintiff’s response to the request: While, personally imo, the optics of last night didn’t look good, that is on the administrators of the university, including the university’s president. Brown University handled their student protest encampment differently from Columbia and got a different result.

Democrats won a special election in western New York State. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/democrats-win-a-new-york-special-election-further-narrowing-the-house-gops-majority/ar-AA1nXgKq

I follow Bouzy on Spoutible and yes, his insights are valuable and his predictions have come to fruition so far. @JaneAusten Florida seems iffy but talking to my dad, a Fl resident, he thinks, if anything could possibly swing Florida, it would be the abortion rights issue. But yeah, that is a swing for the fences. Then again, so was Georgia a few years ago.

Don’t get me started! I HATE Final Draft but basically Final Draft muscled out other competing software companies. First, it was FD and Moviemagic colluding to push out smaller screenwriting software companies by secretly buying them out (their own version of “catch and kill”) or just stomping out the vulnerable outfits. Then finally FD effectively rendered MM obsolete by out marketing them. FD is far from the best but they were and are the most ruthless and were able to get award winning screenwriters to promote their software. I despise Final Draft but unfortunately, they are inevitable.

Renee Elise Goldsberry is announcing the nominations for the Tony Awards.

Sheesh, did someone really ask about her weight? https://sports.yahoo.com/tennis-star-garbine-muguruza-red-110350255.html

A bit of unfortunate news for fans of this couple. It does make that ending of Roseanna paired up with last new new Craig…it always rubbed me the wrong way and now, this reminds me just how annoyed I was with that “happy ending”.

Just in time for the Olympic Games.🤨 I dumped Peacock after my promotion expired way back when but I may cave for a month during the Olympics this summer.

Victoria Rowell being interviewed about her new movie on GMA and mentioned “The Gates”. Wrong network, Victoria. 😂

AFAIK, Ebony and Jet magazines made their digital archives accessible free of cost, though I know some major newspapers charge a fee for access to archives but many universities offer students and alumni access to almost any newspaper digital archive.

It would really be foolish to fail to digitize their print archive. Ebony and Jet Magazines have digitized their print editions and have made them available online. It’s particularly helpful to scholars who will be able to access the information from anywhere.

Today, I saw video of Rafa’s baby boy for the first time. He’s cute but he looks serious, kind of intense already!😂

That was a good film, probably worth a rewatch tbh, especially in the wake of the insidious and naked racism being dredged on the way to opening ceremonies in Paris this summer.

Oh no. She was wonderful on Y&R and even had a memorable in a small role on The Golden Girls. May she R.I.P.
