  1. January 2025: California Governor Newsom gives an executive order that temporarily suspends some of the environmental permits required, so that people can rebuild faster after the fires. The order makes it easier for people whose homes burned down to rebuild as quickly as possible in exactly the same places, by allowing them to bypass the California Environmental Quality Act (known as CEQA) and the California Coastal Act’s permitting processes. Some environmental advocates say CEQA is one of the few tools they have to challenge problematic construction projects. Others note that residents looking to rebuild fire-damaged houses likely wouldn't need CEQA permits anyway. The bigger issue, they say, is whether Newsom's order encourages risky development in high fire-risk areas. full story here: https://laist.com/brief/news/climate-environment/gavin-newsom-wildfire-executive-order

  8. Israel-Hamas hostage/ceasefire agreement January 15, 2025 Multiple news agencies reporting this, including Times of Israel, Reuters, AP, BBC, theguardian, SkyNews; and also officials from Qatar and officials from Israel. (Netanyahu still denying it's true) Biden's team has been in Qatar working on this. Trump is boasting about this . . . because why? Because he's Trump. The newsfeed keeps updating every few minutes on this, I can't keep up. Times of Israel says that a ceasefire and hostage deal has been reached and reports that the US, Qatar and Egypt will shortly issue a joint statement. Three US officials and a Hamas official have confirmed to Associated Press that a ceasefire deal has been reached. One US official said that it was expected that the ceasefire would be implemented in the coming days. From TheGuardian: The US president, Joe Biden, is preparing to address the breakthrough agreement on Thursday, officials said. There are already people celebrating in the streets in both Gaza and Tel Aviv. The Israeli government will vote on a Gaza ceasefire deal on Thursday, a government official told Reuters. Any agreement still needs to be approved by Benjamin Netanyahu’s cabinet, but would be expected to go into effect in the coming days. (fyi: This is all updating very fast. But the time you read this, most of the information in this post will be outdated.)

  10. The January 14, 2025 AMC event at 92Y, from Errol's thread, I haven't seen a recap but there are some cool Getty images, I posted the Getty link on Errol's thread.

  12. Remember this from June 2019: https://www.instagram.com/p/By8XiLXHdZq/ jacklyn.zeman Lovely lunch with my @generalhospitalabc Pals. #StuartDamon @kinshriner #LeslieCharleson @wallykurth Oh what a treat!
  13. https://www.instagram.com/p/DEyEo78yVC4/ wallykurth Oh Lord… this is a tough one. Leslie Charleson was my castmate for 34 years. Leslie… was just cool. Never let anything bother her on the set… no drama. I don’t think I ever heard her raise her voice. But she was no push over her either. Acting is a blood sport.. but not for Leslie. Lester, as I sometimes called her, was a dear, sweet soul who for the last few years experienced physical challenges that would have made any person sour. But I never heard her complain. She was tough but vulnerable. A beautiful soul. I loved hearing Leslie laugh. She had a hearty laugh. Stuart knew exactly what to say to get her going…. Thank you Leslie for your friendship… your talent…and for sharing your soul with me and all your fans. #riplesliecharleson #lesliecharleson #bekind #bekindtoyourself #choosejoy @generalhospitalabc
  14. I agree with you that Trina/Spencer followed the supercouple formula and that racism and FV scheduling caused interference.

  17. https://spoutible.com/thread/39648211 And that spout goes to this "Accesswire" press release that AP published: https://apnews.com/press-release/accesswire/spoutible-expands-ai-fact-checking-accuracy-alerts-as-other-platforms-abandon-verification-5e8f66c1685ad713f2be8a7d7f590054

  19. official Paramount press site for BTG https://www.paramountpressexpress.com/cbs-entertainment/shows/beyond-the-gates/ (That site might be geo-blocked for some? Thank you to LibertyCity for posting the pics from there, so that all can see them)
  20. I assume this was a typo and you couldn't edit since Errol removed the ability to edit a post after it has been up for one hour. Assume you meant Spencer/Trina.
