Jack Sock’s fitness is terrible. A consistent pattern: he plays well to start, comes up with some injury, and has to retire. He just looks sloppy on court. Naomi and Danielle are really going after each other. Naomi seems fired up. Danielle is always fired up.

Oof. I know Raducanu was dreading seeing the name “Alizé Cornet” as her R1 match.

I’m not big on trying to catch lightning in a bottle twice, but it would have made too much sense to bring Mattson on as Hope and pair her with Justin Deas again, especially since Buzz was going up against Alan. Would have preferred that to Buzz/Reva/Alan.

Same. It’s encouraging to see her songs connect here. Makes me hopeful. Like a dream almost, because it’s so unexpected. I certainly didn’t expect radio to play it so aggressively. Still surreal to walk into a grocery store and hear RUTH played after Lizzo and Beyoncé.

Mannarino might be wishing he hadn’t played last week. Maybe not.

That tweet has been reported by *many* people (me included), yet there it remains after almost a month. Social media is a hellscape, and these companies just keep making bank.

Funny that Michael Sutton is older than Antonio Sabato Jr. The scenes where Stone tells Jagger he has AIDS were so gut-wrenching.

Jordan Buhat from Grown-ish working out set to BLACKPINK:

Wyatt Dorion! (I suppose Errol Dorion has a nice ring to it?)

I find it incredibly shameful that Rena and Denise had to tell LSV he was a real leading man, when the show itself should have elevated him YEARS ago. It’s kind of shade on Bradley Bell. Edited because quoting IG embeds destroys the thread.

Sad. 32 is no age.

Beautiful old song.

Jesse Lee Soffer (GL, ATWT) is the latest ex-soap star to depart a long-running Dick Wolf-produced NBC procedural:

Tsitsipas and Fritz both out in R1 within minutes of each other (both to players who’ve never won a single match at the USO—for Holt, it was his first GS main draw match, period). Lots of upsets on the men’s side.

How embarrassing for Halep.

“As It Was” is back at No. 1 for an 11th non-consecutive week: “Running Up That Hill” just continues to impress. It’s having the stability of a contemporary hit, not some classic single popular only because of its inclusion as a needle-drop in a TV series.

People are saying this is giving “I’m fired…”

Lionel from France 🇫🇷

Those nominations are better than most of the Emmy nominations of that era, if only for recognizing the work of Kathryn Hays and Beverlee McKinsey. (They really paid dust to DAYS and OLTL lol.)

I was looking for their SNL performance of that song, but stumbled upon that, which is still great. But also found the below.
