That was the type of storytelling I was raised on, lol! There are certain corners of this board where we're not supposed to mention that soaps used to be good. If only some never before posted episodes would land on You Tube. I'm forever hopeful! Enjoy!

OMG. I feel incredibly let down by this news as I grew up watching The Charlie Rose Show on PBS. Please don't let there be any news about Bill Moyers. I do agree that I've felt that either Rose has stayed too long with the PBS show or he's stretched too thin with doing both shows but he is no longer as sharp as he once was. The last time I tried to watch his PBS show, I found the interviews to be lacking.

Welp, Janet Yellen has resigned. Janet Yellen submits resignation from the Fed

Thrush claims he has done so much to help women's journalists over 20 years. He also preyed on 20 somethings who likely only hoped for a mentor or some small guidance. It's the Harvey Weinstein way (HW donated $$$ to women's causes and contributed to programs that helped budding women directors while simultaneously preying on women seeking a path into the business).

It is sad. I have memories of that breakdown on the shoulder of the Duchess of Kent during the trophy ceremony at Wimbledon. I was so happy for Novotna when she eventually won the title. It was reported that when Martina was undergoing treatment for her breast cancer, that Novotna often drove her to her appointments.

Lena Dunham has had to do so many of these "apologies" over the years. Remember the Black NFL star that she made up that entire saga about because he was looking down at his phone instead of at her? She believes that she should be the center of attention, at all times and how dare anyone say/do anything that is at cross-purposes to what she wants? I've never believed the hype because I've met many Lena Dunhams throughout my life, at work and at school and I usually avoid them like the plague. They're usually self-absorbed, they drain one's energy and are likely toxic personalities.

As more and more cases are popping up, with a range of incidents, this seems to be something that some may be pondering. The line is clear with regard to serial sexual harassers and assaulters though. Franken Case Sets Off Debate Over Line Between Abuse and a Mistake

Fortunately, the Lena Dunham fandom train missed me or I failed to hop on.

It is true that when voter participation is low, it tends to benefit the Republican candidates. Voter suppression and apathy are two big reasons for low turnout. This Politico article suggests that ideas on Soviet cultivation of Trump went back all the way to the 1980s before his first visit to Moscow (1987).

Am I the only one who used to be creeped out by the character that Tambor played on The Ropers? Maybe because his character seemed like the sort that didn't really like children and I was child back then. I've only seen one season of Transparent, thought it was a pretty good show but didn't really care for the kids. I don't know what characters have since become regulars but I don't know if the show could go on with just Judith Light's character, the rest of the family and some other peripheral characters. To those of you have consistently watch the show, could it?

Terry Crews put Russell Simmons on blast in a very interesting way, very much utilizing the power of social media.

I think Chance likely knows this. The song is more like an ode to regret for taking someone for granted and realizing how life is without them. From the Obama "crush song" (remember that?) to this, I just find it interesting how many songs have been made about Obama from then until now. I'm sort of curious to see a count of just how many songs have been penned about Obama? Valerie Jarrett, retweeted this and thought it was pretty funny. She thanked Chance for all he does to support young people in Chicago.

Barack was trending before I went to bed. This morning Come Back is trending.

Yeah, I wasn't able to see much of the match but congratulations to Goffin who beat both Rafa and Roger for the first time this week!

And bloop! No surprise here though. Trump-branded building in Panama City reportedly connected to Russian mafia, drug trafficking

Apparently the "secret witness" that the GOP is relying on in their ridiculous investigation (of the supposed ties between Clinton and Uranium One) is a lobbyist for Russia. Exclusive: Secret witness in Senate Clinton probe is ex-lobbyist for Russian firm It all goes back to Russia. Speaking of which- Brit who helped set up Trump Tower meeting ready to meet Mueller

Many people criticized Crash and rightfully so but Paul Haggis' statement about Hollywood's end is what I've thought for years. Most movies lose money, so the studios make the same comic book based movies year after year and the sexism and abuse of power will continue to drive promising talent far away from the axis of Hollywood. https://www.theguardian.com/film/2017/oct/21/hollywood-finished-paul-haggis-harvey-weinstein-scandal Also, the structure of movie-making has been in a literal transformation for almost a decade. Movie financing is less like to come from just L.A./Hollywood.

Pics of Serena's wedding on the Vogue website. Inside Serena Williams’s Fairy-Tale Wedding in New Orleans I also heard there are additional pictures on Serena's IG account, although I haven't checked yet.

Can't wait to dive into this one based on the title alone.

HRC be like "Why y'all so obsessed with me?!"

A concession to Mother Russia, my guess.
