Good for her. I hope she makes history in November. Even if she doesn't, she's already making history tonight.

 

In other primary news, it looks like the teachers' attempts to go after legislators who supported the changes in pension laws have drawn some blood:

Trump's people insinuated that the Obamas left behind cockroaches and jheri curl stains; and now, we have the WH literally sinking under that man's feet.

 

Tit, meet tat.

Some people seem to be enjoying it, but I haven't watched in about a month.  I just have no motivation to watch and I cut the cable cord, so I can't just let the episodes pile up on my DVD anymore.  A DC based soap would be just the thing right now.

I can't remember the last time I watched B&B, like six months ago, I was at my Mom's, watched a few minutes, shrugged and walked away. My mother, who is now retired, had it on in the background, in between phone calls and her other activities.

I cut the cord a few years ago now. I have an indoor antenna but I really want to put one outside as I've learned an antenna placed outdoors gets better signals since it doesn't have to deal with walls and building materials, etc.  I don't intend to buy a high-priced antenna though, no way!

There was a time when I would have just seen this as rich people arguing with richer people.  Once the blinders are off though, it's impossible to see it as anything other than unjust and oppressive. Especially now that we know the players are damaging their brains. It take some nerve to profit off people's suffering while taking away their right to a peaceful protest.

The whole NFL ban is such a stupid idea. Trying to ban protest almost always results in more, louder protesting. You don't like silent kneeling? Wait until they turn their backs or stand there doing the Wakandan salute or people in the stands start protesting and that sets off altercations.

I've thought the NFL was sh*t for many years now. This simply validates my opinion.  It will be interesting to see whether the players continue to be treated like chattel. 

Or will they finally realize that without them there is no league, there are no games, no money will be made?

 

Usually I take  P.O.V.s even those disseminated by media, with a grain of salt but to see a tweet from Judy Woodruff from the PBS Newshour did grab my attention.

    • I really don't want to see some old P&G actors on the show. To me Lindstrom and McLain have brought nothing special. The show needs to find new talent, so it has it's own identity,which overall they have. Timon, Tricia, Ambyr are breakouts. Most of the others are fine .We all know the exceptions.
    • I would wager that was because it was a new character for the likes of Devon, Lily and Nate to interact with. Watching the likes of Billy fall in love again-Phyllis, Chelsea,Lily and now Sally is repetitive, especially when he is no prize. Josh doesn't really do long term couples. So every year or so they swap partners. It diminishes them as characters as they don't seem to grow or learn from the past. We know those characters so well and they've been through just about everything, so the only solution is to involve them with new characters and have them react to the newbies drama. They tried with Ashland and the Rosales but Josh dumped the latter and wrote so badly for Ashland who could have been a long term antagonist. All we got was another short lived marriage for Victoria and another accidental killing. And Josh thinks having them sit in restaraunts for the whole episode talking business, mergers, takeovers and job switching is interestring. It's not. I feel sorry for the actors who must know they are serving shite.
    • If I were to cast a Soap Opera veteran as Jan.. I would have picked Krista Allen (of Days and B & B fame) since she did move to the Atlanta area in late 2023... and knows all there is about the Soap opera way of filming.  And I could see her playing Ashley's mom.
    • Is the set for Lulu's new house an updated version of the set used for the childhood home of Luke, Bobbie and Pat Spencer?
    • I feel like AMC would be the easiest of their soaps to revive but a reboot seems cursed at this point. I wish we had more insight on what was pitched for the primetime reboot as well as these movies. That would give us a better idea of why it keeps getting shot down.
    • Mansion of the Damned sure is a "talkative" horror movie.  In the past when I've watched those episodes, I was paying attention to The Edge of Night characters and not really zeroing in on the rehearsals/blocking/filming of the actual movie.  This time I've been following the plot of Mansion of the Damned pretty closely, and all I can say is Hester Atherton and Nicholas Harriman are about the most chit-chatty Witch and Devil I've ever heard in my life!     
    • Ashley and Derek have been so isolated that I need the show to develop something, anything to justify their presence. It's not that I think Joey being her father will be the greatest story ever told but at least it would be something and connect her to more characters. I just need the show to move forward with them. Out of all the characters, these are the only two with no storyline/development. We have recurring characters who are better used with less screentime. If the show is going to keep them on contract they need to do something with them.
    • I never thought I'd say it, but SC is B&B's best male actor - by far. SK is next. Has there ever been a US soap that has so much female talent surrounding by Himbos? KKL, JMW, HT, KB, AN, RB could be/have been leading ladies on any other soap. Even the secondary females are the ones who carry their scenes. It's been rare periods when B&B actually had a few solid male cast members. JMW really did a great job in the scenes with AN. Considering everything we've witnessed the past couple of years with Steffy/Hope, I thought reveal may ring hollow. JMW proved me wrong. No doubt this is Emmy material.
    • You won't even accept a minute cameo from Ms Marcil herself so she can collect her cheque?
