Obviously I'm not the OP, but perhaps they meant they were not loving "Beyond the Gates" as a title?

Well, you're the dramatist dreamer, and JG is the dull drama plodder.

Sept 22: Israeli military storms Al Jazeera bureau in West Bank, announcing an order that it is to be shut down immediately, for the next 45 days. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/sep/22/al-jazeera-office-west-bank-raid-israeli-forces-media fyi, 45 days from now is Nov. 6, the day after USA elections.

I don't know if he was in the OLTL reunion photos at Eddie Alderson's wedding, but it looks like Tanner Woods (son of Robert Woods?) was one of the groomsmen. https://www.theknot.com/us/sylwia-pracon-and-eddie-alderson-sep-2024/wedding-party

The nytimes pitchbot twitter posted this without comment. You can't make this up. This is the *real* title of a WSJ opinion piece. "RFK Jr. Would Have Made JFK Proud" WSJ opinion column dated Sept. 12, a week before all the current news broke. Non-paywall link: https://archive.is/IOdqW (It's a capitalist market opinion written by someone who works for the Trump-linked https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/America_First_Policy_Institute ) But still, the headline and the timing....

In this context, I think posters are referencing Tanisha Harper's portrayal of Jordan, as being much *stiffer* or less nuanced/expressive than prior actress(es) in the role. T.H. is pretty, but her acting was not great when she began. In contrast to the amazing Vinessa Antoine. To be fair, I haven't watched GH much in the past few years so I cannot properly evaluate some of the actors' skills. I don't have an opinion about T.H., but I do read this thread, and I believe that is what was meant.

One of the tweets @Vee cited above Ronald Brownstein @RonBrownstein https://x.com/RonBrownstein/status/1837861083409010886 Sept. 22, 2024 "Many striking findings here-including huge lead w/women & Harris exceeding Biden w/col+ whites & equaling w/non-col whites vs exits or Pew from 2020. But among most striking results: 57% know enough about #Project2025 to view it negatively, including 51% who are very negative." Brownstein is quoting this tweet of the NBC poll: I looked at the excerpts of the poll -- images within that tweet. Then I looked at the full link of ALL the polling questions and comparisons with prior polls. 26 pages, fascinating: https://documentcloud.org/documents/25171447-240405-nbc-september-2024-poll_922-release Fascinating to read all the questions asked, how it was done, rotation of choices on each call so as offset bias. So interesting.

NBC is quoting the Guardian interview published Sept 21. https://www.theguardian.com/music/2024/sep/21/janet-jackson-interview-on-bad-relationships-new-music-and-kamala-harris The Guardian interviewer said their conversation with Janet was a few weeks before Janet's brother Tito died. Tito Jackson died Sept. 15, 2024, so Janet said this in late August, apparently. I can only hope that she has come to understand the truth since then? So sad that fake information is so prevalent.

We don't even know what individual twitter and youtube accountholders are thinking. I'm not going to make assumptions and assign motives to anyone. Plenty of people through the years have said they would gladly pay to see the old seasons of DAYS, if only it were available. Some of the twitter and YT accounts seem to have the intent to freely share what's otherwise completely unavailable, in the spirit of generosity. I don't see that as "exploitative". Still illegal, but not a nefarious intent.

If you read my entire post, it was (hopefully?) clear what I was saying. The passage from the Harvard site that you cited is just headers, but if you read the details, there is more explanation. We can't just claim our video postings are "nonprofit educational use". There are specific definitions for each aspect. The CSMI site is clear.

The interview with Janet Jackson in the Guardian was conducted "a few weeks before the sudden death of her brother Tito". Hopefully her understanding has grown since then. But yeah sad to see such misinformation being spread.

That is an inaccurate understanding of "fair use". Fair use via Wikipedia (disclaimer that anybody can mess up Wikipedia. Always check the sources they reference) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_use Fair use from Harvard: https://ogc.harvard.edu/pages/copyright-and-fair-use This link is very applicable: Fair use from CSMI ("Center for Media & Social Impact" at American University) as it applies to online video: https://cmsimpact.org/code/code-best-practices-fair-use-online-video/ I am not an attorney but this is my *very limited* understanding of what I read in those links: Fair use via Commentary: A single short clip can sometimes be used as fair use -- if it used *inside* a long commentary review or essay discussing the original work. But a daily series of clips with little typed words other than the original airdate, character names, and brief description -- does not meet that "commentary" test for fair use. And note that they give a cautionary warning of an example that doesn't meet fair use: a full-length book contained a quoted passage that was the crux of the original work, and it was ruled to not meet fair use. It matters what is quoted. Fair use via a new creation: Fair use could be a single clip or a few clips that are made into a parody or mashup, or a montage, if the result is something that could be considered a truly NEW creative work, created by the person posting it, but even then the background music is under separate copyright. (We have all seen great montages taken down due to music copyright). Posting a few show clips with no edits inside a single tweet -- that might not be considered a new creative work. Fair use via Teaching: Well if you were teaching a course in soap operas at a university, maybe in a limited way, but still you would need permissions (per the Harvard link). I once had a temp job for a university where we had to write to every publisher to get permission to use books in classroom coursework. Very complicated. important: https://cmsimpact.org/code/code-best-practices-fair-use-online-video/ "LIMITATION: The use should not be so extensive or pervasive that it ceases to function as critique and becomes, instead, a way of satisfying the audience’s taste for the thing (or the kind of thing) that is being quoted. In other words, the new use should not become a market substitute for the work (or other works like it)." -------- That being said, Sony (or whoever Sony uses for this) has algorithms that detect the videos, and flag them for copyright violations, flagging them to report to twitter or youtube, etc. That process would be automated to catch anything that might be a violation. Even if someone's fan video *is* fair use, they'd have to prove that it is fair use, and they could lose their twitter or YT channel in the meantime.

In that Puck piece, they mention that the New York magazine editor Haskell "had been fending off a separate P.R. controversy regarding an article about cat owners and new mothers." The Puck author didn't link to that but said we could google it. Oh I vividly remember that horrid article, unfortunately, and I'm so glad Puck didn't link to it because it was horrific. That article was in New York magazine's "the Cut" section and published August 12 -- at the time, I happened across it being slammed online, and read part of it, but it was so gross that, at the time, I couldn't stomach reading the whole thing. Back then, I didn't even notice who the publisher was, because I was so angry at the anonymous author. But the description today in Puck made realize where I had seen it, and I easily found it just now, and read it in full. The Cut/ NewYork Magazine did a several-part series on pet ownership. This particular article was anonymously written by a woman with a new baby who severely neglected her cat and hoped the cat might die. I guess they thought it was trendy or edgy or something? It was really horrific. At the bottom of the online version of that article: hundreds of angry comments from readers. It's not relevant to the topic being discussed here of Olivia Nuzzi's lack of journalistic integrity. But it is relevant to the topic of the ickiness of nymag.com and its editor trying to clean up the magazine's messes. The original article had an opening blurb paragraph in italics, explaining that it was "part of a series on the ethics of pet ownership". I see now that the magazine has since updated that blurb to add more sentences onto it, with their attempt to clean up the controversy by giving some indirect verification that the cat is okay but... still. ewww. Here are links to the original, and the version with attempt to fix it in the opening blurb. TRIGGER warning: Don't read this if you want to stay sane. Or just read and compare the opening blurbs and don't read the actual article. August 12, 2024 original article -- version archived August 16 when it had 204 reader comments https://archive.ph/909SE Sept. 19, 2024 version with updated opening blurb (354 reader comments) https://archive.is/0m9X5

I see the closing credits updated the surnames of Sharon and Devon back in July, but I just noticed it. Devon announced he was changing his name from Devon Hamilton to Devon Winters in May 2023 - when Malcolm and Harmony/Yolanda visited and they all paid tribute to Neil at the Jazz Lounge. Name change to Winters finally reflected in closing credits July 24, 2024 Canada (July 23 U.S.) Sharon had been going by "Sharon Rosales" ever since she married Rey, and kept that name as Rey's widow. I remember when she did the grand opening party for the business she inherited from Cameron Kirsten and formerly changed its name from Kirsten something to Cassie something, Nick gave her a desk nameplate saying "Sharon Newman", and that seemed odd (to me) since she had never announced changing her name back to Newman. I stopped watching regularly months ago. Has Sharon ever confirmed she changed it? Sharon name change to Newman reflected in the same closing credits airing when Devon's names was changed in the credits: closing credits July 24, 2024 Canada (July 23 U.S.) Are both of these just overdue errors that the show staff finally noticed? Or were these changes mentioned in character dialogues? fyi @YRfan23 ------------------- ------------------ Closing credits for U.S. week of July 15-19, 2024 (actor credits aired Canada Fri.
