There's usually a Eurovision thread in the "Music & Movies' section of SON every year. Here's the 2026 thread (link)

Like many horrid appointees of Tr*mp to his Cabinet, she transitioned from TV hosting to being appointed into an actual federal government job - Pirro was appointed as the U.S. Attorney (the federal version of a district attorney or prosecutor) for the region around Washington D.C. Pirro has been in the news recently talking about her intentions for prosecuting the (supposed)assassin from the White House Correspondents Dinner.

I haven't watched regularly. I sort of keep up via reading occasional recaps, watching clips, reading the spoilers, and reading most of the discussions here at SON. But I miss some things. I just saw something referencing Nina forgetting to give Drew his injection. I had no idea that Nina was helping with Willow's plan to keep Drew seemingly "locked in". I had no idea that Nina even knew that Willow had done the first injection to Drew months ago. Well I guess I have missed a lot! When did Nina learn of Willow's plan and when did Nina decide to assist her?

That s.o.news article about Stephen Oyoung as Jason Choi used a picture of the actor from when he was in one of the Mission Impossible movies. The s.o.news headline said "major new arrival". But is it really a "major" casting? Perhaps it's interesting because viewers have wondered for months why Sophia's father hadn't aired, and now he finally will appear. But it's not yet announced how many episodes he'll appear in. He appears as noncontract in this week's closing credits. Update that SOD (link) says he debuts Thurs. March 14 and provided this BTS picture of the Chois

Alicia Minshew (Kendall AMC) plays the mother of the murder victim. on Law & Order, Thursday April 30, 2026, (Season 25, episode 19), episode title "Accidentally Like a Martyr". She doesn't have many lines. (She even says in the comments section of her IG post "You will see I am oddly quiet in it!") She's mostly just sitting there while her character's husband (played by Eric Stoltz) has more of the lines.

Thank you for posting! Appreciate you letting us know. I need to open my eyes and mind to look at what's happening around the world. I found some links and will read more https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_Bahamian_general_election https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/bahamas-heads-early-election-may-12-2026-04-01/ U.S. to send observers to Bahamian election (sadly, I no longer trust the U.S. State Dept, but here's the info) https://www.reuters.com/legal/government/us-deploy-election-observers-bahamas-2026-04-23/ The Commonwealth is sending observers to the Bahamian election, chaired by former Prime Minister of Jamaica Bruce Golding https://thecommonwealth.org/news/commonwealth-observer-group-arrives-bahamas-2026-general-elections

I had completely missed the UK elections. Thanks for posting. Oh wow, this is a summary https://election.news.sky.com/elections It's so annoying that the British reactionary party calls itself "Reform". I don't want whatever they want to re-form the world into.

Not directed at anyone reading here. Just ranting at the U.S. voters at large: All the careless/foolish/unAmerican (selfish!) U.S. citizens who voted for Tr*mp in 2016 and/or 2024, who voted for Republican senators anytime, or who voted for specific third-party candidates in cases that caused Republicans to win... This is what you have wrought: Supreme Court justices appointed by Tr*ump and approved by corrupted or cowardly senators, Supreme Court justices who have taken away the right to vote. You were warned this would happen, and did not care. Not going to apologize for using the word "selfish" here. Selfishly voting for candidates you thought were fun, without any regard for actual humanity. Selfishly clinging to your own favorite news channels and facebook pages and refusing to use your brain to THINK about the truth. Selfishly too LAZY to vote. And in some cases, selfishly evilly choosing racism and sexism. You may have thought "I'm not racist or sexist" -- but you ARE racist and sexist if you supported the horrible candidates, or were too lazy to go out and vote for candidates who cared about other human beings. /end rant

Meanwhile in fascist U.S.A. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/anger-confusion-louisiana-republicans-move-to-erase-majority-black-us-house-2026-05-09/ Anger, confusion as Louisiana Republicans move to erase the majority-Black US House district. BATON ROUGE, Louisiana, May 9 (Reuters) - As a child, Leona Tate was one of the "New Orleans Four," the first Black students to desegregate a public school in the deep South, enduring racial slurs and death threats as armed U.S. Marshals escorted them to class. On Friday, more than six decades later, Tate told Republican state lawmakers that their proposal to dismantle at least one majority-Black congressional district brought back harrowing memories. "I need you to understand ‌what it feels like to stand here, to have walked through that mob as a child, and to now watch elected officials do the same thing that mob was trying to do – just with better suits and a parliamentary procedure," she told a senate committee hearing at the state capitol in Baton Rouge. The president of the Louisiana chapter of the NAACP was forcibly blocked from entering the hearing room in the state capitol building.

Not trying to spam the thread with the Hungary news. I just think the world is due some happy news for a change.
