I'm following the nationwide "No Kings" protests today Saturday June 14, 2025 "indivisible.org" is one of the organizers. They have blusky posts on their feed (whatever the bluesky equivalent is to "retweets") ... submitted by protesters in cities all over the USA and a few other countries. Too many for me to post here but you can follow it on their feed and you don't need a bluesky account. https://bsky.app/profile/indivisible.org The pre-organized "No Kings" protests were planned for cities everywhere *except* WashingtonDC, due to the Tr*mp military parade. Around 2,000 cities. There seem to have been a total of several million participants in all the locations that participated, added together.

Iran had already pointed out that Israel uses military weapons received from the U.S.A., with the implication that Iran might consider holding the U.S.A. partially/indirectly responsible for Israel bombing Iran. Now that Iran is retaliating against Israel, and has struck Tel Aviv, Iran is warning other nations not to defend Israel. Meanwhile, while Israel is bombing Iran, Israel is simultaneously *continuing* to bomb Gaza food supplies and medical charities.

Two Minnesota politicians and their spouses were shot by an assassin impersonating a police officer. The shootings occurred at the victims' homes. Two of the victims have died, and the other two just came out of surgery. Investigators have found a list of more politicians that the assassin planned to kill. The assassin hasn't been caught yet, but their fake police vehicle was recovered. The suspect is either now on foot or in another vehicle. updates from the Minneapolis Star-Tribune and Governor Tim Walz https://www.startribune.com/brooklyn-park-police-searching-for-suspect-in-multiple-targeted-shootings/601372993 Current member of the Minnesota State House as leader of the DFL Caucus, and previously Speaker of the Minnesota House, Melissa Hortman, and her husband Mark -- were both shot and killed this morning in what appears to be a politically-motivated assassination. Minnestota State Senator John Hoffman and his wife Yvette were both shot multiple times. “The Hoffmans are out of surgery at this time and receiving care, and we are cautiously optimistic that they will survive this assassination attempt,” Walz said. Authorities said suspect impersonated a police officer, and a “manifesto” was recovered with lawmakers’ names. The suspect drove a vehicle that looked exactly like an SUV squad equipped with emergency lights, a Taser and badge. There was “no question that if they were in this room you would assume that they are a police officer.” “There was a list of individuals and the individuals that were targeted were on that list,” said Bureau of Criminal Apprehension Superintendent Drew Evans. “When we did a search of the vehicle there was a manifesto that identified many lawmakers and other officials, we immediately made alerts to the state, who took action on alerting them and providing security where necessary,” Brooklyn Park Police Chief Mark Bruley added. Meanwhile, long-planned nationwide political protests are scheduled for Saturday June 14: Statement from the Minnesota Department of Public Safety on June 14: Out of an abundance of caution, the Minnesota Department of Public Safety is recommending that people do not attend any political rallies today in Minnesota until the suspect is apprehended.

It's odd though. To be on contract, shouldn't Wagner be alphabetically BEFORE Wood?
-
Ooooh! Well then I made wrong assumptions, resulting in me messing up badly and announcing wrong information. I apologize! I even looked at the credits on cbs.com/paramount, and read it wrong. (I guess my only defense is that I didn't expect Jack Wagner to be on contract, so my mind expected him to be in the noncontract section, and I didn't pay attention to what my eyes should have shown me.) Okay so Wagner and Yamada came after JM Wood, alphabetically at the end of the CONTRACT players. And not after the noncontract players. Which I would have noticed if I had paid attention to my paramountplus screen. EDIT, but if they are alphabetical, wouldn't Wagner come before Wood? Oh well, what do I know? So then the order was this, making Wagner and Yamada contract. Fascinating!

I am tired of Ashley whining about what does Derek think, and Derek whining about what Ashley thinks. . . remind me of junior high children "does he/she like me?"

Oh we got Claire mentions, finally. Friday June 13, Belle and Shawn each mentioned being in recent contact with Claire. (I won't give details here). Just acknowledging that she was finally mentioned.

I forgot to say, that when Maggie was talking to Sarah, Maggie references the car accident when Xander's drunk mother was driving, hit and injured Sarah, and framed Brady. Maggie says "One thing I always admired about John was his intuition". "Almost everyone believed that Brady was guilty, including Brady. But John believed in his son's innocence all along." I disliked that the Maggie/Sarah conversation was 99% about Xander. (but I recognize that today Friday's episode was intended to focus on storylines unrelated to John, so I get it.) But at least Maggie's tribute to Marlena, the family, and John got squeezed into the dialogue. I think Maggie's statement would have been better at the funeral, at the wake in the pub, or with the ladies at the Horton house. But oh well, at least it got said. Maggie did sound sincere when she said "my heart is breaking for Marlena and her family".

That's just the soaps.sheknows editor giving a headline to the paragraph. It's not anything said by Josh Griffith. LOL.

agree with all of this

Okay from the dialogue in Friday June 13 episode, the party for Steve (which airs Monday June 16) is a dinner party at the Bistro on the same evening as the funeral. Kayla goes to the funeral at the church garden, then goes to the wake at the pub, then goes to work at the hospital, and then goes to dinner at the Bistro, all in the same Salem day! Per the June 13 dialogue, the June 16 dinner at the Bistro is a retirement party for Steve, since he is retiring, and shutting down Black Patch. The retirement party for Steve Johnson is a device for the writers to have the characters exchange memories... for an episode to commemorate the 40th anniversary of Steven Nichols' first episode.

FYI, Maggie was at the funeral, per dialogue and wardrobe, per Friday June 13 episode, She was at the funeral in person, although she was not shown onscreen. She talks about it and Marlena (to Sarah). I'm not going to comment on Friday June 13 storyline development, out of respect for those who are spoiler free and haven't watched yet. Just saying that this episode mentions other characters who attended the funeral in person but offscreen. Friday episode is still the day of the funeral, and the episode shows what some characters did after the funeral and wake -- later the same day. However, even though it's the same day, there's very little funeral stuff discussed. It's mostly other storylines. The Horton house scenes yesterday Thursday with Julie, Jennifer, Hope, and Jack... seem to be afternoon and extend into the evening of the funeral day, since Jack and Jennifer went to bed early. **** edit to insert -- I think that Jack and Jennifer are only resting/napping and that it's not nighttime yet at the Horton house. Anyhow, Friday's episode picks up in the afternoon of the funeral day -- for the rest of the characters as a "meanwhile", as we see that shops and offices are still open. We learn that Stephanie, Alex, Maggie, and Sarah each attended the funeral in person, even though they weren't shown there onscreen. Stephanie, Maggie, and Sarah are each wearing black, and, in separate conversations, each mentions the funeral. Alex is wearing a generic suit, but we know he was at the funeral because Stephanie thanks him for attending it with her. Stephanie is shown in various locations with various people, still in her black dress. Jada is wearing a dark-colored top (not sure if it's black or green?) but she doesn't seem to have been at the funeral, per her dialogue with various characters in various locations? I'm not sure, so maybe she was there? Belle arrives at the police station to do some D.A. work, still wearing her black funeral dress. Jada is surprised that Belle is working! And Belle replies that she needs the distraction (so at least the writers explain why Belle is working on the funeral day). Jada and Belle start discussing cases. Belle is also shown in the square. ShawnD is still wearing his funeral suit; and he interacts with more than one character, but I won't say here what locations, or what he says/does in this episode. Just that I think his scenes are worth watching. Kate is at the hospital to visit Philip (Roman mentioned yesterday that Kate skipped the wake and went directly to the hospital). At the hospital, Kate is still wearing the black-and-beige print dress that she wore to the funeral. Definitely the same "Salem day". Kayla arrives at the hospital after leaving the wake at the pub. She is wearing her white doctor jacket over her funeral attire. At the hospital, Kayla tells Kate about the wake. Kayla also interacts with various other characters at the hospital, about various topics. At the Kiriakis mansion, Maggie is on the couch with Sarah, and they are both in black. Maggie is drinking tea or coffee looking sad and contemplative, and says "it was a lovely service, wasn't it?" (Sarah agrees.). Maggie says "Oh Sarah, you know my heart is breaking for Marlena, and her family. To finally get John back home, only to lose him like that? Oh. He died a hero, which is fitting, because... because he also lived like a hero." (Then Sarah and Maggie start discussing Xander, etc.). So Maggie was at the funeral, and she feels for Marlena, but she wasn't shown onscreen at the funeral, and she shared her thoughts about John -- privately with Sarah. I guess this is what Maggie would have said *at* the funeral, if she'd been shown there onscreen? Other people in the Friday episode were Xander and EJ, each in various locations, and each with various other characters. But I won't mention what either of them said/did in this post. Only that it seems from their various dialogues and interactions that neither Xander nor EJ was at the funeral. Anyhow the *majority* of the episode wasn't about John or the funeral. It was mostly about other storylines. Quite a few storylines, but I'll omit all that in this post.

Wednesday Bo at the funeral, worth watching. And also yes yesterday Thursday .
