I usually check to see if something's already been posted, and then I start composing my post. Then I submit my post. Then later on, I discover that it was already posted by someone else, which confuses me since I had carefully checked. Finally I remembered that sometimes a member will post three different unrelated things, intending them to be separate posts ... but if the posts are submitted within a certain time frame, the SON forum software automatically causes them to become merged into one single post. Thus it can happen that ... when I check to see if a tweet or article was already posted, it wasn't posted .... but meanwhile, WHILE I'm composing my post ... someone else posts whatever I was in the middle of composing ... it and it gets merged into their prior post. So by time I submit my post, my post is duplicate information. This doesn't happen as often now, but it used to happen more frequently between Election Day and Inauguration Day when so much sh!t was happening.

There are lots of empty positions in many agencies because Trump never filled them. This link is a periodically-updated list of every open position and nominee or appointee, and the status of the nominations: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/interactive/2020/biden-appointee-tracker/

Will they preempt both Y&R and B&B this year like they usually do, or is it just Y&R this year?

I agree with this. (Although the institutional racism was already obvious to some, I guess the interview served as a "reveal" for some of the general public worldwide). -- Yup

Agreed. I rewound and rewatched to see if I missed something - twice. I didn't miss anything, so Nina said whatever she said to Wiley offscreen.

Fairman's headline ... "Former CBS Daytime On-Air Promo Director, Susan Banks, Joins the Writing Team of The Young and the Restless" That is so little of her background! Fairman used to do promos for Days of our Lives so maybe he thinks that's the most important thing? He has a one-line mention of TV One in there. IMDB Biography is very long and detailed: Quoting imdb: Susan A. Banks is a television producer, screenwriter and award-winning marketer who has been hailed as "One of the Most Powerful Women in Cable" by CableFAX Magazine. Her credits spans both network and cable television including some of television's most popular, beloved and influential series. Over the course of her career, she has nurtured and maintained strategic relationships with producers, writers and talent, garnering industry awards and nominations, increasing network ratings and driving advertising sales. Banks is co-creator, executive producer, screenwriter and executive in charge of production for TV One's horror anthology series: Fright Night Files premiered in October, 2014 and Fear Files premiered in March, 2015. Banks made her television screenwriting debut with the For the Love of Lockwood episode of the 2014 horror trilogy and wrote two episodes of the 2015 airing: For the Love of Lockwood Too and Mama's Boy. The Fright Night Files (2014) received four nominations for the 2015 Black Reel Awards including "Outstanding Supporting Actor" nods to Harry Lennix and Bokeem Woodbine and "Outstanding Directing" nominations for Russ Parr and R.L. Scott. Most recently, Banks was executive producer and executive in charge of production for the jewel in the crown of TV One's line-up -- TV One On One with Cathy Hughes -- forty in-depth interviews with high profile Americans from the worlds of politics, culture and entertainment, from President Barack Obama to Hillary Clinton to Beyonce to Will Smith to Jamie Foxx to Minister Louis Farrakhan, the latter episode a recipient of a 2011 NAACP Image Award nomination.

Banks also executive produced and was executive in charge of production for the popular TV One card game show Bid Whist Party Throwdown (2005-06). As an adventurous, innovative marketer, Susan Banks has spearheaded some of the most successful branding campaigns in the business. Handpicked by former TV One CEO Johnathan Rodgers, Banks, as VP, Marketing and Creative Services, launched TV One in 2004 with the ground-breaking "I See Black People" campaign which instantly branded the lifestyle and entertainment cable network as "must see" television programming to adult African Americans. Banks played a key role in the unprecedented 40% growth in TV One's subscriber base in 2006, which, according to Nielsen, was more than any other cable network. She was named Executive VP, Marketing & Creative Services in 2007 and ultimately moved up to Executive VP / Special Projects for TV One in 2011. Other marketing career highlights include leading the branding efforts behind daytime and children's programming for CBS Television, rated the #1 network in daytime for over two decades. Banks' strategic and groundbreaking marketing, promotional and advertising campaigns assured CBS' ratings dominance with The Price is Right, The Young and The Restless and The Bold and The Beautiful holding the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place in the daytime ratings for more than two decades, according to Nielsen. At CBS, Banks received a 1989 Daytime Emmy Award nomination for "Outstanding Achievement in Graphics & Main Title Design" for The Young and The Restless and was honored with multiple Promax Awards for her innovative marketing initiatives. Banks also executive produced multiple episodes of the half-hour series CBS Soapbreak (1995-96), a behind-the-scenes close-up of some of the network's most iconic daytime stars including Eric Braeden, Lauralee Bell, Shemar Moore and Victoria Rowell, among others, the recipient of a 1996 Daytime Emmy Outstanding Directing - Special Class nomination.

Right. I was just wondering which rerun Canada is airing today.

What is on the Canadian today? I heard it was a rerun but I wonder which one?

Here is all the footage (over 13 minutes) (what was posted above in tweets parts one and two) In a single youtube on the cspan channel

part two

Oh. that makes sense. You never know what B&B or Y&R are going to do. So just set to record at the usual time. If there are any changes, each show posts to twitter and facebook an announcement -- a couple hours after the time of day that the episode would normally have aired. Such as "it will be shown on local channels in the middle of the night" or "it's preempted and shifted to the next airdate", etc.

Update: the Orthodox attorney on Trump's team said he withdraws his request to adjourn for the Saturday Sabbath. He said he thinks the trial should continue on Saturday, and that another/others in the defense team can take his place on Saturday. That would mean that that trial would meet Saturday, and maybe take Sunday off? To be determined, subject to change, etc. Also FYI, the reason they wanted the trial to convene daily at noon... was so that the Senate could do regular Senate business in the mornings -- such as working on legislation, confirming cabinet nominees, etc.

Impeachment Trial schedule The impeachment trial begins Tues. Feb. 9th - starting daily at 12 noon Eastern. (Some sites say that it starts at 1:00pm Eastern on Tues. Feb. 9th, and then it starts at noon Eastern daily thereafter.) They will adjourn Friday Feb 12 before sunset, due to the religious obligations of an Orthodox Jewish attorney on the case. They will reconvene Sunday Feb 14 at noon. -- update ... Update: the Orthodox attorney on Trump's team said he withdraws his request to adjourn for the Saturday Sabbath.
