Thanks. I caught a glimpse of Whitney Osuigwe and Hailey Baptiste having a practice set. There was a time when the US Oen used to stream all matches until ESPN found out and swallowed streaming rights. Why can’t the US Open website be allowed to stream qualies? Is there an actual benefit to shoving qualies onto ESPN News, a channel that many people don’t have?

Same. That stuff about KSJ is deeply disturbing but they are both gone now, so it’s probably not worth rehashing at this point.

Apparently he deleted the tweet but the screenshot was tweeted elsewhere, and turned up very quickly in a basic search. Unfortunate. A few people are making mention of his complicated persona, using words that indicate that he something to the effect of, that he was publicly polarizing and privately compassionate. Hopefully the compassion was there. On a human level, it is sad still, the passing before his time when there was still a lot of potential evolution that could have taken place. One would hope that there would always be time for a person to evolve to be a better person, publicly as well as privately. R.I.P. to him and condolences to his loved ones.

As someone who only really read the DC blog (for a brief time) and the WLS blog (until it ended) and didn’t follow his blogs and had only heard of him via this message board, it is still very sad to hear this news. EDT. Wow, did he really tweet those things about KSJ? Or was that a tweeter trolling? Just did a search and instantly regret it.

This is chilling but not surprising, sadly. Ever since I saw a news report that stated a poll that supposedly showed that Democrats could very well hold onto Congress, I had been wondering what Republicans and their backers would try in response. Republicans have cast aside any veneer of wanting to be for the ordinary American that they used to claim interest in helping. Now it’s about barefaced greed and naked power grabs. The only way to counteract this is to have an effective strategy to get people to the polls and get them to vote for enough Democrats with integrity this November.

Gone way too soon.

How sad. The stylist who worked on Serena’s Vogue cover story passed away. Vogue was her last job.

Wow, I really haven’t been keeping up with tennis because Garcia had fallen totally off my radar. This should give a number of players hope that they can make it back from a slump to win a title. Garcia is still wildly unpredictable though, so I have no idea how her win impacts her chances at The Open.

Things are definitely not going so well in Twitter land. Twitter tells employees they might get only half their annual bonus

Usually, I avoid all and anything Haberman and Thrush, but admittedly, this article piqued my curiosity…and the Japan Times article includes audio reading of the article, which allowed me to have my morning cup of tea at the same time which makes reading this article tolerable.

Oh Elizabeth!! Tewson was a gem. So much of that comedy couldn’t have worked without her.

Really? In my defense, I watched scant episodes from those years, so what I mostly know of the character is from a few episodes in which Elena portrayed the character and various chatter on this message board.

Interesting piece of trivia. I don’t remember him being asked about this during the reunion livestream.

This is inhumane.

According to the article, Aidan (hey, I spelled it correctly this time because I care 😂) apparently has 3 children.

Oh yeah, I forgot that the transition at HBOMax was seeing a lot of shows being flushed. AJLT must have garnered some seriously high hate watch ratings numbers!

…and “just like that…” Carrie will have Aiden on the hook, playing the mindless game of ‘can Carrie commit this time or no?’ Aiden will want her (again) at a time when she feels she cannot commit to a relationship (again).

🤣😂 That’s on point @Faulkner.

Even before they killed off Big, I figured they’d bring Aiden back, they always do lol. I wonder how they plan to ruin Aiden now.

^^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. 🙏🏾
