  1. The problem seems to be only with embedded youtubes. Embedded Vimeo videos display without problems. Example of vimeo on Madonna thread that displays fine (link to post) Edit to add: I mentioned above all of the Windows browsers in which I cannot see youtubes, plus my phone version. On ALL of those browsers plus my phone, I * can * see Vimeo.
  2. article with more images of the protests outside Delaney Hall "detention center" (concentration camp) in Newark NJ https://www.amny.com/news/delaney-hall-ice-agents-beat-protesters-05282026/ "Things almost turned deadly when one protester threw an object at an ICE agent, sending the enraged agent chasing after those in front of him. The agent tossed one man into the wheel of a moving truck — the gigantic wheel passing over his leg. In another instance, a different ICE agent beat a man with a baton between the wheels of the gigantic truck, narrowly missing him being crushed completely."
  3. https://bsky.app/profile/atrupar.com/post/3mmvys4stjs2m ‪Aaron Rupar‬ ‪@atrupar.com‬ (quoting the Secretary of Homeland Security) Markwayne Mullin: "This isn't a Holiday Inn. We're not providing luxury housing. What we're doing is providing a sanitary place for them to be detained. We're detaining murderers, rapists, pedophiles, drug dealers. We're meeting the calorie standard." some reply comments to the above: https://bsky.app/profile/marisakabas.bsky.social/post/3mmwagwwc7k27 Marisa Kabas ‪@marisakabas.bsky.social This “calorie standard” language is sinister as f**ck. Basically we’re feeding them enough to stay alive but nothing more. https://bsky.app/profile/robertscotthorton.bsky.social/post/3mmw3bckru227 ‪@robertscotthorton.bsky.social‬ Beginning in 1934, the Reich Minister for Propaganda, Joseph Goebbels, never denied the existence of concentration camps, instead he defended them as necessary to defend the blood and honor of the German people from murderers, rapists, pedophiles and drug dealers.
  4. Not just you. Happening for me in the USA with Windows 10 Pro -- cannot see youtubes on any of these browsers (editing to add info on multiple browsers) Chrome Browser Version 148.0.7778.217 (Official Build) (64-bit). Windows 10, Firefox 151.0.2 (64-bit). Microsoft Edge Version 148.0.3967.96 (Official build) (64-bit) Edit again to add: the same problem occurs for me on my Android phone via the Brave browser. Here's an example of GH promo displaying the error (thread link) screenshot
  5. Errol just announced that the blog section is being removed on June 1st. same. I have enjoyed reading these ideas. Also in the past 16 months of BTG episode discussions (and in years of episode discussion threads for other soaps), many posters have occasionally offered storyline ideas and I found them interesting. I don't always like everyone's ideas but I like that members have ideas!
  6. Recent discussion (May 2026) on GH thread about how surrogacy storylines don't work in soaps. I instantly thought of Sisters where the surrogacy storyline was well-written. Pregnant Georgie, as the gestational surrogate for Frankie, was in an auto accident but she was okay and Frankie's baby survived. The "drama" years later was written in that... when there was a fight amongst legal parents Frankie and Mitch, the judge ordered that the gestational surrogate Georgie have temporary custody until the issue was resolved with the parent -- and then Georgie began to become concerned and reluctant to let go, but she did let go.
  7. I just found the stats on the @JAS0N47 website. https://www.jason47.com/days/staffdatabase.html Seems like there's been no head of hair&makeup for a while? Current staff: Makeup Artists: Karen Dahl 6/8/16-Present Deidre Decker 10/01-Present Corina Kramer 10/15/24-Present Natalie Thimm 10/25/21-Present Hairstylists: Nicole Brennan 10/25/21-Present Armando Licon 12/9/13-Present Marisa Ramirez 1/9/18-Present Amber Renick 10/25/21-Present
  8. omg I just saw your post. Cripes! that explains a lot.
  9. Do we know who Chanel's father was?
  10. Ah so that's how I missed the paternity reveal. Thanks.
  11. So then the show thought they were clever to make Trey the bio/foster/adopted offspring of several families: bio from Choi and Greene fostered by Hernandez (legally fostered by Rafe, practically fostered by Javi) adopted by Price and DiMera/Brady The idea was good theoretically; but, from the scenes I actually watched, the writing has been poor and some of the acting was bad.
  12. Wait, are you saying that Aaron is really Trey's bio-dad? We had suspected it but was it ever proven? I thought the show had maintained it was Tate. I feel stupid asking this, but to my defense the show has seemed stupid so I tuned out for a lot and missed some key recaps.
  13. Thanks for the correction. I suspected I had the facts confused, and I did! I think I simply loathed Anna's enemies so much that I thought of her as someone from longer ago than she was. Faison was so gross and Obrecht's obsession with him was gross. Yeah that was awful.
  14. (This is from my foggy memory, so I might have parts of this wrong)... What I remember is Obrecht started out as a villain rival to Anna Devane. But Anna didn't see her as a rival. Anna seemed (to me) to be disinterested. What I remember watching was Faison obsessed with Anna . . . and Obrecht obsessed with Faison. And Obrecht wanting to destroy Anna, whom Obrecht regarded as an obstacle to getting Faison -- that's how I perceived it decades ago, or something like that? Obrecht was a full-out villain in those days. Pretty sure she tried to kill Anna, but probably via something convoluted.
  15. Her character was originally called "Obrecht" by other characters. I still can't get used to calling her Leisl. I guess it's like Sidwell. I don't think of him as "Jenz".
  16. When Jimmy Carter died, they talked about how his foundation had completely eradicated a disease-carrying worm. That's the right use of time and money! https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2023/02/23/1158358366/jimmy-carter-took-on-the-awful-guinea-worm-when-no-one-else-would-and-he-triumph But now we have the horrible occupant of the White House spending billions on wars, grift, and personal golden monuments. How many diseases could the USA have cured/prevented with those funds?
  17. The hundreds of thousands of deaths due to the defunding of US-AID - no medical assistance/supplies/science for countries in need, no medicines, no vaccines, no doctors, nothing. No funding. Many deaths. We don't hear about this because it's just another horror in the news drowned out by other horrors in the news. And now the latest is a new Ebola outbreak in Africa that's spreading rapidly and they have no help. Meanwhile, the ICE raids and deportations continue in the USA -- and we've deported people to African countries being impacted by Ebola.
  18. The horrors of the violations by ICE and the USA's concentration camps have not stopped. This has all continued all over the USA for more than a year. It's still happening in Minnesota but the ICE agents stopped patrolling downtown Minneapolis due to the observers. So now ICE is in the suburbs and countryside of Minnesota where thee are less observers with cameras. And forced deportations to random countries where the person has never ever lived before. All these horrors have continued alongside all the other evil things the Tr*mp administration is doing.

  20. I think it worked for Abby's original vision in 2019 -- but if (and only if) they had made it more bustling with customers and had some decent music. The show could have written some original background music that sounded pop or trendy, to just play for a few seconds here and there, then tone it down during dialogue. Also it was meant to be more of an evening spot (and perhaps Sunday brunch). I think the decor worked for evening lighting, but the decor is too busy for daytime dining. Let's see, Society went live in 2019, then COVID hit in 2020, so the show stopped using extras. I wonder if Society would have carried forth Abby's original vision if COVID hadn't hit? I think Society is prettier than the Athletic Club's main floor. But the Neil jazz club has taken on the "night spot" role.
