After he and his lawyer were charged $1 million for a previous frivolous lawsuit against Hillary Clinton, James Comey and others, it appears that Trump and his lawyer have withdrawn another frivolous lawsuit against AG Letitia James.

Isn’t this the same dynamic that had Sharon and Adam romantically involved?

I knew some of these former professional players would start playing pickle ball. Watch these pickle ball tournaments start pulling in higher ratings than tennis.🙃

This would have been a time that the likes of VH1 would have done some sort of retrospective on the discography of David Crosby…had they still been interested in actual music in any way. Had A&E still been actively involved in biography shows as they once were, there would be an announcement of an upcoming episode of the life and times of David Crosby, but those days are long gone.

Those lights are regular lights though. No special filters that I can see but I have been wondering for years why no proper air filtration systems have been installed in schools and public buildings. Hospitals seem to be the only public buildings where there is any filtration system in place.

😂

Was Pam there on behalf of ESPN? I heard she has been coaching a WTA player. I agree about ESPN+ being ridiculous, which is why I refuse to subscribe to that service. I don’t think that either ESPN or Tennis Channel with their bogus TTC+ service deserve the rights to stream tennis, they are both flops and do a disservice to the intent to “grow the game”, if tennis even cares about their stated goals to make the sport more accessible anymore. The scheduling of some of these matches is ridiculous and I haven’t made the effort to watch even a fraction of them. Tennis Australia was never perfect, they had some scheduling gaffes in the past but this year has already shown to be questionable. Three roofs and they still have players having to play three days in a row?? I wasn’t going to watch that Murray/Kokkinakis match but I tuned in for part of the 3rd and final sets. In the third set, I honestly thought that if Thanasi didn’t close out the match in straight sets, he would never win it. I was right. I think he’s going to have night terrors about that match for some time to come. The ESPN headquarters is in Bristol, CT and from all accounts, they are a drain on the state’s taxpayers.

Wow, I clicked onto the last portion of this match and the interviewer is slobbering all over Murray, it’s embarrassing. Nothing against Murray, part of me now hopes that RBA runs him ragged in the next round.😂

Haha. https://boards.soapoperanetwork.com/topic/61915-mystery-yr-return/?do=findComment&comment=1832950

Except he’s their hometown hope…allegedly.😂

Ha!😜🤑 Vail, girl, I’m not even going to ask for a percentage. Just make sure they do Heather Stevens justice with a juicy storyline!😘

I am just glad that whoever is eavesdropping on our board conversations is listening to the right things. And oh, I can write a good story, so message me, people.😉

Well well well. Are some Y&R folks eavesdropping in on our board conversations? 👀😂 Nevermind. Vail, girl, you make sure they give you a juicy storyline.

Tennis Australia did Kiokkinakis no favors with the scheduling. He has had to play three days in a row, when they could have shifted him on Day 1 to finish the rest of his first round match. And it’s what 3 am local time and he and Murray are still playing? Whoever wins this match will be at a deficit in the next round, as their opponent is fast asleep.

Hopefully it’s something productive and positive. He does have talent and let’s face it, he’s not the type that can be left to his own devices without being occupied with some project. Let’s hope that it’s not some Drake “Her Loss” type of project. 🤣 and I couldn’t resist looking at the replies, some of them clamoring for an OnlyFans.

Yeah, I figured that the poster didn’t pay to use the work of the photographer and/or agency and that they were just coasting off the use that you paid for. It’s a shame that some people choose to ignore the basic tenets of fair use and social media etiquette. That sounds really weird. I don’t know what to say about that. It really sounds like it’s more about what’s going on in the psyche of that particular person.

So far, I have only seen the pilot episode and it’s got some promising elements, including a reasonably likable cast. Yes, many of NBC’s highly successful sitcoms did need a full season or two to find their footing and/or audience. I just wonder whether NBC will be patient enough to allow this show that space as it once did in the 1980s and ‘90s. Network executives have been somewhat impatient in the last decade, and unfortunately, so are viewers sometimes. I was curious to see if anyone had asked Richard Moll and Marsha Warfield on their thoughts on this reboot. I haven’t heard anything expressed, which makes me wonder whether there could be the possibility of a couple cameos down the road. I don’t think people should rush this, especially seeing that there a brand new characters that viewers need to get to know. Hopefully once they are established, there will be room for some appearances from surviving cast from the first series. I would love to see what happened to Quon Le, she and Mac had at least one child together and I am curious to know what happened to them. The writers may not want to deal with all of that but I think it would be a nice nod to the character of Mac and his history, much of which played out on camera. but yeah, I think it may require a little patience for this show to hit its stride. There are hints of that zaniness that the original series had but television, especially network television is risk averse these days and the original series seemed to take plenty of risks, at times it dabbled in the subversive, which made it special.

Ellen Parker did a magnificent job with the material in that storyline and of course, earned her Daytime Emmy but I for one, would have liked to see more of how the hurt, bitter, and angry Maureen Bauer might have manifested and perhaps subverted the characteristics of the matriarch that had always been essential to GL, even if it were only temporary. Like you, I felt there was much more story to tell for this character and leading off from the Maureen that we saw in her final days would have liberated her to dive into an interesting direction, and if they found the character going too far, they could have always brought her back to her center-Maureen had always been a very centered character.

It’s just become impossible to keep up and keep track of all the things. It’s not about shaming drag, it’s about someone who aligns himself with ultra conservative and right wingers who put laws in place to try to dehumanize people, including people who dress in drag. Do people not see the conflict?

Have you seen this 2 part Frontline special? It was excellent in how thoroughly it presents how “Big Oil” essentially gaslit (pun intended) the public, using the paid research of scientists, academics and researchers. Some politicians also used this research to promote their political agendas. I am not sure whether PBS has these episodes behind the paywall (they have an annoying habit of doing this now, although educational videos tend to have a longer grace period for viewing) but it is definitely worth checking out. https://www.pbs.org/video/the-power-of-big-oil-part-one-denial-redxh6/

As a writer myself, I feel for you Errol. It’s a violation when you take the time and thought to craft your own words, and someone swoops in and scoops what you have written and presents those words as if it’s theirs, without any acknowledgment to what you have done. Also, did that person secure permission to post that photograph? I have seen people on social media get into trouble for posting photos without accreditation. Very careless and irresponsible. Sadly, many people don’t consider lifting the works of others and using them as their own to be a big deal, when it’s pretty egregious.

Good news.

Daytime soap operas and their history with Black characters is worthy of a thesis all on its own.
