Loved NYC this week. Even when they repeat themselves (drunken post-menopausal ladies dry-humping in the Berkshires), they are so funny and fun to watch. I never thought I’d say it, but I kind of love Porsha on ATL now. Her “Nooo. Not Claire’s. They closed” made me chuckle.

And Rafa gets another player who can challenge him on clay: Fognini.

I saw. I wonder if Novak should take a wild card into a smaller tournament to get some matches under his belt.

One of the most embarrassing recasts of a major character I’ve ever seen. Just a fail all around. When ED returned, it was such a breath of fresh air.

I don’t get the sense Sony cares about Crackle. I saw some articles about how they’ve been trying to sell it.

Now Zverev is down a set and 0-3 to Fognini (who could always fall apart or... not).

Wow, Lajovic just routined Thiem. What the hell happened there?

I agree with this. I totally loved BE for what she was (gorgeous, charismatic, warm but steely when required), perhaps because I only *really* started watching Y&R after she assumed the role. (I was in elementary school for ED’s ‘80s heyday.) Plus, the show as a whole was simply much better during BE’s stint than during ED’s later runs.

Wow, Daniil must really be in Stefanos’s head. Now 4-0 against him, and this was their first clay meeting. Apparently, it was a really tense, awkward match (shocker).

Matt Bomer, Tuc Watkins, et al. will reprise their roles in a Netflix adaptation of their Broadway production of The Boys in the Band.

Whoa. Grigor is teetering on the precipice, and given how Rafa wiped the floor with RBA today, his plummet is all but guaranteed.

These dudes... I posted a few of these earlier, but they’re IG embeds that make the page load so slowly.

Oh she’s hardcore Nolefam... way, waaay more than me. I think the tennis media goes after Novak for many reasons, most of them B.S., but their mentioning his place of residence wouldn’t be first on my personal list of grievances. I just like seeing where everyone lives all laid out. I wish the chart was more extensive.

An interesting list, no doubt, but aren’t Istomin and Kukushkin (and for that matter, Isner, as Florida is part of the U.S.) based in their countries of origin, if this chart is to be believed? Lots of Frenchmen in Switzerland.

More ‘80s Brit stuff.

Yeah, that’s boring. I hate to say it. Not interested in Rinna doing cabaret shtick.

Just saw this. Wow. And Sonego beat Khachanov. Decent day for the Italians.
