Kathryn Garcia made up a lot of ground with the ranked-choice voting in the NYC Dem mayoral primary. She has 48.9 percent to Eric Adams’s 51.1 in the simulation with all the other candidates eliminated, a 16k gap. 124k mail-in ballots have yet to counted. Those results will come July 6. Eric Adams claims irregularities:

I’m glad Bershan is giving voice to this. Hopefully she lights a fire under this off-putting season.

Just a legendary scene from the Labine era.

It’s just too bad his character died a long time ago, unlike many of the other GH actors who’ve had recent tributes (like John Reilly). Still they’d be stupid and disrespectful not to give the guy his flowers. Alan was a leading character on the show throughout GH’s pop-culture zenith. There’d be a lot of interest in a tribute, even if it were simply Port Charles honoring the anniversary of Alan’s passing or something.

That’s exactly how I feel. If it somehow managed to have LGBT characters (not necessary but would have been great), it would be my idea of soap perfection.

Oh nooooo. What an absolute legend. Been watching old Alan clips lately. Becoming such a tough year for soaps so far…

That’s upsetting. I just saw the clip. Are the courts in good condition? Wimbledon needs to answer for the state of these courts… Like I get that new grass is slippery, especially after all the rain, but when the GOAT female player potentially ends her career with a tumble on your court, right after another player has a bad injury due to a slip, you might need to take a look at things…

I heard that people were laughing and joking around after the match. Kinda sh!tty for a match where a player retired due to injury. Slippery courts?

LOL. It’s soooo bad. I just have it on in the background.

What’s happening with Roger right now?

It’s his bangs lol. They tremble a lot (compare to Amy’s hair in her debate performances and Rachel Dratch’s SNL impersonation). He’s actually wearing a lot of product in his hair for his scenes with Ashland and Victor, but it was totally noticeable in those Chelsea scenes. Sorry, this is the stuff I notice when I’m not otherwise engaged lol.

I don’t think Brad has *ever* cared about Carter or Justin as much as Thomas or Flo (whom they’ve had embraced by the Logans), so there’s a lot of reason to be skeptical. Still if B&B proves me wrong, I’ll be the first to cop to it. Justin is actually being given a POV, which is somewhat of the blue, but that’s far more than what Carter’s getting.

No. It’s just interesting to me that the two black sidekicks to the core families have similar stories, even if the magnitude is different. A curious coincidence for two barely-there characters.

Mark Grossman has some very Klobuchar-esque hair shakage happening.

I think B&B finds both of them expendable. Even taking into account the horrid writing for Brad’s pets like Liam and Hope, they’ve barely shown any interest in each character for years. And, barring a late-in-life Quinn pregnancy, it’s unlikely Carter will get much story out of this. Agreed that adultery is the far lesser crime. Soap characters cheat, even the “good” ones.

Lucas’s hair looks slightly less helmet-like today?

Ray MacDonnell just radiated warmth, even when Dr. Joe was sorta being a sanctimonious sh!t. Sad to see so many of these legends go, even if they lived long lives.

Billy Magnussen’s (Casey, ATWT) HBO Max series has been renewed for S2. https://variety.com/2021/tv/news/hbo-max-made-for-love-renewed-season-2-1235006731/amp/?__twitter_impression=true

BTS is No. 1 for a fifth week. The top 10 feels pretty static.

And now up a break in the third. (Frances is up the break, I mean.)
