Reminder to double-check, triple-check, and quadruple-check everything you see about this. Way back during the Arab Spring in 2011, most of the social media posts from the resistance in the locations were true, but there were always a few faked ones or old ones given new dates. Same is true for ICE stuff in Minnesota. Almost all of what's coming from the people on the ground is true, but there are always random people posting incorrect pictures or old pictures, or mislabeled pictures from unrelated events. Nowadays with A.I., there is so much possibility for fake pics and fake reports. This 2026 war will have all of this scrambled, with state medias from all countries making it even worse. Check and verify everything five times. In emergency situations like this, even the best reporters might get one thing wrong, but the best reporters will also acknowledge when they mess up, and post corrections.- The Politics Thread
Marcy Wheeler aka "emptywheel" has an excellent analysis https://emptywheel.net/trumps-illegal-war/ She points out that Tr*mp acted now before Congress could stop him. There was a bipartisan resolution soon to be voted on: the "Khanna-Massie War Powers resolution" February 26, 2026 statement from U.S. house of representatives Democrats https://jeffries.house.gov/2026/02/26/democratic-leadership-ranking-members-announce-iran-war-powers-resolution-vote-next-week/ “As soon as Congress reconvenes next week, we will compel a vote of the full House of Representatives on the bipartisan Khanna-Massie War Powers resolution. This legislation would require the President to come to Congress to make the case for using military force against Iran. The Iranian regime is brutal and destabilizing, seen most recently in the killing of thousands of protestors. However, undertaking a war of choice in the Middle East, without a full understanding of all the attendant risks to our servicemembers and to escalation, is reckless. We maintain that any such action would be unconstitutional without consultation with and authorization from Congress. Next week, every Member will have the opportunity to go on the record as to whether they support military action against Iran absent Congressional approval.”- The Politics Thread
(Saturday Feb. 28, 2026) Afraid of losing and wanting to assert their authoritarian powers, Trump and Netanyahu began bombing the f* out of Iran this morning. Trump sent some stupid message in English to the Iranian people to tell them to rise up and overthrow their government, forgetting that he had already disbanded VOA "Voice of America" radio in the Farsi language. Iran is retaliating by bombing these targets: Israel, U.S. warships in the Middle East, U.S. military bases all over the Middle East Random Middle Eastern countries that have been known to be U.S. allies. Videos have shown a hotel in Dubai being bombed. Israel was prepared for retaliation and Tel Aviv had already moved all their hospital patients to underground shelters, etc. Reuters seems to have the most nonpartisan coverage of what's really happening. According to Reuters: The stupid U.S. war cabinet is monitoring this from Mar-a-Lago. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/top-us-general-hegseth-monitoring-iran-strikes-trump-resort-person-familiar-says-2026-02-28/ According to Reuters: The CIA assessment in advance was that if Khamenei were killed, an even more hardline ruler would be put in place; but of course nobody listened. https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/prior-iran-attacks-cia-assessed-khamenei-would-be-replaced-by-hardline-irgc-2026-02-28/ Phil D. Stewart of Reuters is tweeting updates. He's using all caps, probably because in a hurry, or because it's all awful https://x.com/phildstewart/- B&B: March 2026 Spoilers

@dragonflies Oh I see the problem. These specific twitter videos display properly ONLY you are logged into a registered twitter account (and you are over 18) and viewing on the X(twitter) site. But if you try to open them in a browser window where you're NOT logged into twitter, they don't work and a notification displays: "Age-restricted adult content. This content might not be appropriate for people under 18 years old. To view this media, you’ll need to log in to X" . Embedding wouldn't be allowed for this particular video, because there's no guarantee that the website or messageboard viewers are over 18. Good grief. This "A Look Ahead on B&B" video isn't the least bit scandalous.- Y&R: March 2026 Spoilers

non-paywall copy of WaPo article https://archive.is/kvMkl Why is WaPo interviewing "pro-Trump activists"? wtf?- DAYS: February 2026 Spoilers
quoting snippets from Ramsey in tvinsider: “. . .how far can we go? How much fun can we have? How much is too much? . . . ” “. . . Abigail and I got along really well, and she’s wonderful, a real pro,” he praises. “We really let ourselves go there and had a ball. Robert Scott Wilson and I got to work together, too, and he’s a great guy and a wonderful actor. He and I really got to step up to the plate together and had so much fun.” That there are similarities between Owen and Peter August isn’t lost on the actor. “I do see some similarities in the fact that when they show up, distressing things seem to happen, and some people seem to be very traumatized,” Ramsey says. “I just find that one of the best gifts any actor can be given is to find a way to create drama in the world of daytime television. I have loved playing both of them very much.”- DAYS: February 2026 Discussion Thread
You asked re: Lisa Rinna's description of RKK: "Is this brave honesty about a toxic work environment or another headline grabbing moment to stir controversy?" It was well-known that RKK was toxic on the DAYS set. When Miriam Parrish and Ali Sweeney were playing best friends Jamie Caldwell and Sami Brady, the actresses were teens. He was in a relationship with Miriam Parrish -- they got engaged when she was 18, but I don't know exactly when they first got together. . . (They married after she turned 20. Parrish has been married to someone else since 2014.)- DAYS: February 2026 Spoilers

Seth Meyers interviews Conner Storrie, January 13, 2026- GH: Classic Thread
It's weird and disconcerting (for me) every time in the present day, when they show the dead hospital staff wall photos. John Ingle just feels wrong to me. Nothing against him personally, he just wasn't Edward to me. But of course I get why GH shows Ingle's portrait. I just wish it was David Lewis.
