This is more of the same insane dehumanizing vindictive crap: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/jan/31/us-workers-pronouns-emails-deadline-trump-order US federal workers ordered to remove pronouns from email signatures This crap indicates their expected direction that would kill the planet https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/jan/31/trump-order-usda-websites-climate-crisis Trump orders USDA to take down websites referencing climate crisis Forest service website among many sites affected as agencies scramble to comply with president’s orders I mean, I'm in one of the categories of people being harmed by all of these stupid anti DEI things, but none of us will survive without a planet. If I have to pick a battle, it's climate every time.

RIP to one of the Meg Baldwin actresses from GH https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/jan-shepard-king-creole-tv-westerns-1236118906/

Not unprecedented. Normally viewers without Hulu have to wait a few weeks to see each episode for free on abc.com. Varni/ABC sometimes does this special "same-day free availability" for a current episode on abc.com -- for the benefit of viewers in affected cities when part of the episode is cut off in some cities (due to "ABC News"), but there's no official preemption. That is what happened January 30 when Varni tweeted that, due to coverage of the Wash. D.C. aircraft collision on some channels. So if a GH episode is partially cut off due to ABCNews, and you don't have Hulu, then check the Varni/GH social media or just simply check abc.com later that evening. If they don't do that free upload to abc.com, then they'd usually officially preempt the entire episode and then air it in fullness the next day everywhere. -- Fyi, to allow for the practice of national or local channels sometimes interrupting the last five minutes of a GH episode, GH almost always uploads the last five minutes of every episode to the official GH facebook page, but not to the show's other social media. This is automated, or planned in advance, to be released at a certain time of each evening. This prevents them having to bother with adjustments such as manually doing sameday uploads to abc. com or preempting altogether.

oh my gosh, thank you to Mitch S!

Yes there is no "e" in his name. Fyi, Here is Dan O'Connor telling @Errol at the June 7, 2024 Emmys that he had been recently hired at DAYS. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkdOPP4Lm3U

previously quoted from the new Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy: "Obviously, it is not standard to have aircraft collide. I want to be clear on that." "When Americans take off in airplanes, they should expect to land at their destination. That didn’t happen yesterday." More from Sean Duffy: "I would just note, the president's leadership has been remarkable during this crisis." From the former Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg: https://x.com/PeteButtigieg/status/1885013865676562491 Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg January 30, 2025 Despicable. As families grieve, Trump should be leading, not lying. We put safety first, drove down close calls, grew Air Traffic Control, and had zero commercial airline crash fatalities out of millions of flights on our watch. President Trump now oversees the military and the FAA. One of his first acts was to fire and suspend some of the key personnel who helped keep our skies safe. Time for the President to show actual leadership and explain what he will do to prevent this from happening again.

Four D.C.-area steamfitters were aboard the American Airlines flight Wednesday night, a statement from the United Association of Union Plumbers, Pipefitters and Steamfitters Local 602 said Thursday morning. The four were members of Steamfitters Local 602 — a Prince George’s County, Maryland-based union that represents steamfitters and pipe fitters in the D.C. area. “Our focus now is on providing support and care to the families of our Brothers as we continue to gather more information in the coming days,” the statement said. “We will share more details as they become available, including a nationwide UA relief effort for the families. These members will be forever in our hearts, and may God bless them and their loved ones. May they forever rest in peace.” https://x.com/UAPipeTrades/status/1884979539639410899

https://www.wcvb.com/article/coaches-skaters-skating-club-of-boston-norwood-massachusetts-on-plane-crash/63617299 Skating Club of Boston Coaches Vadim Naumov and Evgenia Shishkova and skaters Spencer Lane and Jinna Han were killed in the crash. Skater Spencer Lane, 16, and his mother, Christine, skater Jinna Han, 15, and her mother, Jin, and coaches Evgenia Shishkova and Vadim Naumov were aboard the plane. "Skating is a very close and tight-knit community. These kids and their parents — they are here at our skating facility in Norwood six, sometimes seven days a week. It is a close, tight bond, and I think for all of us, we have lost family," Zeghibe said. Zeghibe said Spencer was a "highly-talented kid" who was "rocketing to the top of the sport," and Jinna was a "wonderful kid, great athlete, great competitor" who was loved by all. Zeghibe said their mothers were "role-model parents" who were dedicated to their children's sport. Shishkova and Naumov won the pairs title at the 1994 World Championships and competed at the Winter Olympics twice. Their son, Maxim Naumov, who was not on the plane, is a competitive figure skater for the U.S. ---------------------------- Russia’s Mash news outlet published a list of 13 skaters, many of them the children of Russian émigrés to the United States, who it said were believed to have been on the plane. Inna Volyanskaya, a former skater who competed for the Soviet Union and was a coach at the Washington figure skating club, was also reported to have been on board. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/jan/30/dc-plane-crash-victims

From this morning's press conference: Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy: "Obviously, it is not standard to have aircraft collide. I want to be clear on that." ------------------ https://bsky.app/profile/atrupar.com/post/3lgxojy6fah2m From a Fox news interview: Tennessee congressman Andy Ogles on the DCA plane crash: "Did DEI play a role?" ---------------- update: Trump giving press conference just now about the aviation crash, spouting nonsense. And commenting on the crash before the NTSB begins investigating. per the Guardian live blog https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/live/2025/jan/30/plane-crashes-near-washington-dc-after-mid-air-collision-with-military-helicopter-follow-live (from the Guardian international page, so some words here are in British spelling) “We did not know what led to this crash but we have some very strong opinions and ideas,” Donald Trump said. “We have some pretty good ideas … we’ll find out how this disaster occurred and we’ll ensure that nothing like this ever happens again,” he continued. Trump said “we have very strong opinions and ideas” about how the accident happened then reverted to taking political swipes at Barack Obama and Joe Biden over air traffic controller standards. “The word talented. You have to be naturally talented geniuses.” In a harsher tone than before, he is now complaining about diversity and inclusion in FAA programmes and describing former transportation secretary Pete Buttigieg as a “disaster” who has a “good line in bullshit”. “You had a confluence of bad decisions that were made,” Donald Trump said. “One thing we do know, there was a lot of vision, and people should have been able to see that. You know, at what point do you stop at? What do you say, well, that plane’s getting a little bit close?” Trump continued. (then Trump said something about the relative heights and visiblity of the aircrafts, which I won't bother to quote here because it doesn't sound rational) Defense Secretary Hegseth is at same press conference and echoed Trump about the heights. Sean Duffy, the transportation secretary said: "When Americans take off in airplanes, they should expect to land at their destination. That didn’t happen yesterday." Trump continued to turn what might have been a sombre briefing into a baseless rant against DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) despite no evidence of a link with the plane crash. The president was backed to the hilt by transportation secretary Sean Duffy, who said “we can only accept the best and the brightest” in positions affecting passenger safety, and defence secretary Pete Hegseth, who echoed: “The era of DEI is gone at the defence department and we need the best and brightest.” Then came vice-president JD Vance, who claimed “we want to hire the best people” who are “actually competent enough to do the job”. Trump returned to the lectern to claim that “very powerful tests” for competence in air traffic control were “terminated” by Joe Biden. CNN’s Kaitlin Collins asked: “Aren’t you getting ahead of the investigation?” Trump replied: “No, I don’t think so at all... I don’t think that’s a smart question. I’m surprised, coming from you.” Another reporter asked why Trump believes DEI is responsible. He said: “Because I have common sense and unfortunately a lot of people don’t. We want brilliant people doing this. This is a major chess game at the highest level.”

srsly

To be clear, My post was intended as a response to the poster who was commenting on NAC not attending Tabyana's party, as if that were a slight or something. I personally never had any expectation that NAC and Tabyana were/are friends in real life. As far as I could tell, they were simply work colleagues. I was snarking about NAC preening at the Paris event, simply because he frequently posts pics of himself preening, and I (personally) find it annoying when anyone of any gender posts lots of pics of themselves looking 'sexy'. Just me. I don't care that NAC didn't attend a party with his former coworkers. I don't care about that at all!!! I just get annoyed with those types of photos posted by ANYONE. After I made my post in this thread, someone else posted that NAC was paid to attend the events in Paris, so it was simply a work gig. I had no idea! I know absolutely nothing about the Paris fashion world. All these years, I had been assuming that people attend such events so that they can be "seen", to improve their personal brand or whatever. It never occurred to me that anyone was being paid to attend.

Awesome! I see that this was Robin's home in NY, as she's packing up the portrait and some items to bring to the studio for the reboot, so this must've been filmed in 2013. What a fun video! thanks for posting. So then did Robin get the portrait back after the reboot finished?

Instead of posting comments from questionable officials who don't know anything yet ... I'll simply post this: U.S. officials just had a press conference and announced that there were no survivors of the plane/helicopter crash. RIP: 2018 interview with Evgenia and Vadim as coaches in Boston, coaching their teen son Max. (I don't know if their son was on the plane or not. He could have been elsewhere. Most of the passenger identities have not yet been announced. Just posting because it's Evgenia and Vadim speaking)

Per the Tr*mp Executive Order, the Defense Intelligence Agency is stopping the observances of MLK Day, Black History Month, Women's History Month, Holocaust Remembrance Days, Pride, Juneteenth, National Disability Employment Awareness Month, Etc etc etc As detailed here:
