^^Not just the far left either, he got plenty of favorable press from media too, from what I remember. As I brace myself to read what will most assuredly be very ugly details- The above link will take you beyond the paywall.

What value?

Most days,, I don’t trust Madison Keys in a match but…

Another great point. We all may think that P&G is a terrible corporation (with good reason) but it is a company that has been around for several generations now and trades on the stock market and has a responsibility to its shareholders not to do unpredictable things. Unlike a tech company whose ethos is generally to “move fast and break things”, P&G is a staid corporate entity that built its success on having a trusted, somewhat predictable reputation. They’re not Tesla, P&G’s version of chaotic is generally having people compete for who will be next in line to be one of the next 17 Vice-presidents of a given division. Even their less successful products are likely to be spun off and merged rather than eliminated completely. No large corporation outside of a very limited number of tech companies could get away with such knee jerk behavior, not in the 21st century of corporate responsibility and regard for legacy.

Looks like Palin has a formidable opponent, more than formidable in Peltola. 🙏🏾

The mess at the CDC began at the very beginning of the coronavirus’ entry in the U.S. in early 2020 when they failed to communicate how people could protect themselves and others by making a simple face-covering and using proper hygiene and allowed this to be taken over by Trump who politicized the issue and made it about “freedom”.🙄 Of course, Walensky didn’t make things any better with repeated missteps and mixed-messaging. I found this article, paywall-free thanks to the generosity of a random subscriber.

The SoapClassics people said this years ago. It’s obvious that P&G was no longer interested in profit-sharing with the company. Conjecture on my part (notice that I said conjecture, not fact) but it wouldn’t surprise me if P&G thought they could take it on in-house and keep all the profits for themselves before discovering that their corporation is too chaotic and hyper focused on their corporate business to do what needed to be done with distribution of their television productions. A few years ago, it was in several trade magazines that P&G were trying to put out “Choose Your Own Adventure” entertainment programming with the idea toward product placement of their own products online, but that flopped. P&G seems to struggle with the type of creative entertainment that they once pioneered. That being said, my original contention was that, even the destruction of master reels would cost P&G a good sum of money and is not as straight forward as some would contend.

Ahem, as I said upthread, y’all can feel free to listen to crazymakers who dip in the thread to create chaos and then bounce if you want but I would rather stay on the side of level-headedness, until and unless I have reason…valid reason to believe otherwise. IOW, show me the receipts.

Davida Williams (Jade Taylor #1, ATWT) is co-starring in a Hallmark movie co-executive produced by tennis great Venus Williams. She seems pleased about it too.

Trying on the producer’s chair for size? Fans of late period As The World Turns (an era, I have stated that I didn’t much care for in terms of the writing) might recognize Davida Williams.

This.

Well,folks probably already know how I feel about this. I will say one thing, I am glad she has the Daytime Emmy so now she at least has something out of the mess that is Y&R that she can parlay into something else, hopefully much better.

Or crazymakers, as I refer to them.

You’re welcome. When I read this, my first thought was that these would make very good talking points because it is a good and thorough yet concise summary.

Yang keeps yammering on with platitudes, answering nothing specific. What a mess.

Putting aside how I usually feel about Op-Ed pieces, I find this one to be a worthwhile read. Congress Is Shooting for the Moon, and Getting Close Even I had forgotten about the U.S. Postal Service, and if I had forgotten, I think it is worth reminding voters of each of these things before the midterm elections. Repeatedly.

Hopefully Sinema will end up getting kicked out on her keyster, a la Tulsi Gabbard. We already knew that this was happening with her but just expressing the hope that she gets replaced by someone better.

Oh absolutely. I agree. I am someone who likes verification.

Yeah, but that allegedly happened in the 1970s, right? I just don’t think a company could get away with that in 2010 or 2012 or 2015, with environmental laws having evolved into what they are. Dumont dumping happening in the 70s could be entirely possible but P&G dumping in 2013 seems unlikely.

The past year for former soap stars for P&G soaps in particular has been bitterly mournful. Kathryn Hays, Lisa Bown, Michael Tylo, Marnie Schulenburg, Ray Liotta, Jerry ver Dorn and now Anne Heche as well as a host of others.

Did everybody read that search warrant? Wild that we’re back to reading criminal charges and such at this stage. Again. Just wild to see the labels of the boxes and receptacles that were seized. A box with Macron’s name on it?? Was that because both Melanie and Ivanka were making googly-eyes at him during that state visit? TFG is very petty if that’s the case.

Even disposal of master reels involves a process. NYC has anti-dumping laws. You can’t just dump thousands of chunks of plastic and tape in the East River. The cops will come to your door. I have listened to those livestreams in the past and to be respectful, sometimes stories get thrown around which are later discovered to be not the most accurate. I am not calling it intentional but it has happened. Also, what of Another World? Guiding Light? Edge Of Night? Why no talk of them? Was there something about ATWT that made them especially ripe for mass destruction? That would be a massive dump and would likely cost a good amount of money, if you don’t want to violate environmental laws.
