That guy’s actually from Thailand, my bad. But he’s a great follow: https://instagram.com/kaiser.arms?utm_medium=copy_link

LOL at Zverev’s mishit dropshot-smash winner at the net. Zverev got pissed about that call and started playing slightly better. Stef is also imploding a bit.

Once the nerves settled, that became quite entertaining. Krejcikova vs Pavlyuchenkova. Who had that penciled in as the final? I’m sure NBC won’t be pleased, but a surprise Slam champion is fun. Pavs would be sort of like a Flavia Pennetta story.

Oof. Paris doesn’t want to be playing around with Quinn.

This Sakkari/Krejcikova match is error-ridden garbage.

Jessica Chastain wants that Oscar, y’all.

The French crowd: louder and drunker than ever. Berrettini stepped his p*ssy up in the third while Djokovic faded. Seeing a lot more variety from Matteo.

I hope so! I’m sure they do. Reminds me of Office Space… Can we just keep Sonny this way for a while… or permanently like they’ve done with Jason? Good seizure acting from Swickard.

Lucky. Now I wanna sledgehammer a bunch of old electronic equipment set to some royalty-free grrrl rock.

Ha. I got Spinelli. I guess his hacking skills might come in handy, cuz if brute force is required, go ahead and draft my death certificate.

LOL. I love it when the dialogue on this show gets so hilariously expository. They spell every little thing out.

Capriati and Vika did in Melbourne, but yeah it’s rare (and both of them were on tour a lot longer). I was rooting for her to beat the odds, though.

Armie Hammer checked himself into rehab. TMZ link above, for those who don’t want to click through.

Poor Iga.

I want stories, but definitely not so far gone that Pratt or Mal or MAB would be a step up. Yet the writing is… puzzling, both on a longterm story and a day-to-day script level. I would love be a fly on the wall in BTS meetings or story pitches. Y&R hasn’t been able to find that balance. It’s either the batsh!t-crazy sensationalism of Pratt or the wheel-spinning of late. CBS continues to promote the show as an unfunny sitcom, which is telling. It also doesn’t feel like a show for adults. Like I know Y&R aspired to be more ABC-ish in the past couple of decades, but it’s beyond that. The tone feels like some cheap, chirpy Canadian soap opera that got cancelled in the mid-‘90s and no one remembers.

I’m loving Casey Wilson telling Andy on WWHL that she’s ready for Lisa Rinna and Erika to “ease on down the road.” LOL! He keeps claiming that they’ll both reveal a lot this season.

Leah and Bethenny: I’d love to see it. They’d murder each other. Leah is NUTS. She’s exhausting. At least RHONY didn’t think Kelly was the star of the franchise. I’m looking at the reactions to tonight’s episode and Leah’s getting slaughtered. Even though Heather had some own goals tonight.

Heather is dropping straight knowledge right now… Oh dear… I’m walking that back… She meant well, but lord, Heather’s weird sense of affinity with black culture based on her work with Puffy, et al, has always been one of her more problematic aspects. White savior complex aside, I appreciate her explanation to Luann about what happened. Sonja’s the most attuned to the situation. OOF, Heather… ARTICULATE?! Don’t make me side with Leah to get you off this show. Haha.

I’m just thinking back to #metoo (around 2017) when a lot of people, mostly women, revealed they’d been the victim of some kind of sexual abuse or assault. For a soap like DAYS, with so many rape survivors, that could have been a moment—one relevant to real-life conversations at the time—to address that. The problem is they play too fast and loose with abusers-turned-heartthrobs.

The American version of Eurovision is open for submissions.

I think Sheryl has been funny as a standup, but she’s terrible as the Emmy host. At least #metoo means she might stop pawing over every hot dude.

I was wondering if Sascha was playing that well (not watching), but saw this from Morgado. Lord, these up-and-comers are just sh!tting the bed left and right.
