That rings a bell but don’t remember…

Seeing Jerry O’Connell and this other dude on the panel, I wonder if they’ll try one last desperate rebrand as a men-and-women-talk vehicle. One way to stand out against The View and The Real, but ehhhh.

BAFTA gets called out, and here’s the money quote:

1989-93 GL is my idea of soap perfection in the modern era. The community felt so textured and (somewhat) diverse, with Af-Am actors put forth in stories that didn’t tokenize or marginalize them. Not that representation is the *only* thing that makes a soap good, as we’ve all begrudgingly watched series that have erased POCs, but when I watch older classic eras of GL (like the Dobsons), the whiteness is glaring. But so were the times. Can’t always project backwards.

Zzzzzzz. I can’t get invested in anything Adam. The character is a snooze to me. And adding Nick doesn’t help.

I’ve been noticing a lot of little editing and compression errors with DAYS lately. Just a little sloppy…

Wow, did Benoit Paire actually show up in a match, or was Niko simply tired after winning Munich?

From the Philippines 🇵🇭… brothers AJ and Vin Abrenica

What happened in 1968 to end that run? Edit: was it the expansion to 30 minutes?

Keegan-Michael Key should be great.

Dafuq are they doing with Cam?

The Weeknd and Ariana Grande both have their sixth No. 1s.

Got my second Moderna shot yesterday. Shoulder hurts quite a bit and I feel a bit hungover, but that’s it for now. Taking Tylenol and fluids and resting.

A really great review of an extraordinary album by one of my favorite artists (seen in my profile avatar):

Of course Melissa had to be in front. And Ramona is so awkward. EDIT: saw it was Melissa’s TikTok.

Dolgopolov is calling it a day on his tennis career.

Curious who the “diverse” new cast members will be…

From Colombia 🇨🇴

Good memory! I’d forgotten I’d posted that. I believe it was this one:

I mean, if that faith-based Amazon mess she’s in is as bad as the trailer… I get that she’d a bit more protective of Erica Kane.

Did y’all see this?

That’s a brutal R1 for FAA.
