America needs a serious history lesson on what actually constitutes blackface.  Unfortunately, the education system has clearly failed many people.  

I can't believe there are people who don't know that it takes cork or shoe polish as well as people exaggerating features-- what they believe a black person looks like, of course to a caricature level.  There are essays and documentaries that detail exactly what constitutes blackface and why many see it as offensive.  

I see several people, blogs, media outlets that are supposedly knowledgeable get the most basic facts completely wrong.  In 2019.  It's sad to witness.

David Pecker picked a pack of pickled Bezos...

And has likely scuttled his immunity deal to hell and back again!

 

Never extort the richest man in America. (REAL wealth!) It will not end well. And do not tell me Donnie is not somehow mixed up in this.
 

Jeff Bezos detonates his own bomb and turns the tables on David Pecker and the National Enquirer/AMI.

The first thing that I thought of when reading that Thai news is that this may pave the way for the Shinawatras to return from exile.  I cannot imagine that not happening in the near future.

 

You're right @Faulkner and @JaneAusten this is big news.  Thai politics has been characterized by one big upheaval after another for nearly twenty years, so I have to say, it's big news but it doesn't come as that much of a surprise, tbh.

 

 

It's especially interesting how many people are giving salt to Rep. Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Markey's Green New Deal blueprint without acknowledging that the Republicans generally go big with their proposals-- look at the enormous, deficit-busting tax "reform" that they slid through.  At least the Green New Deal proposal is meant to benefit people across economic spectrum, not just the wealthy.  The proposal is pie in the sky, yes, but it is a blueprint, subject to amendment.

    • 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?
    • Which has also slowed down from 100 pages a day, but I digress.

          Yeah. When even I am getting annoyed with it (and still need to catch up on DAYS new team...two weeks behind now grrr) enough to take a break...and B&B holds my interest more for a show where nothing is going on...it's a BAD sign.   Seriously thinking about that break until

       Then we go from there. I just can't believe JG just went and lost all the momentum that was built up over the last month. And during May Sweeps, too? No, ma'am.
    • Works for me!!! Just the back of some brunettes head and a hug lol on the Island And also, I like how it's brand new info Mo was good at his job in the 90's.  That's pretty much the entire reason he's still on the show.
    • I recently edited an older episode to do a Denise Alexander edit but Mo was in scenes & I had forgotten that back then he was actually good at his job.  The contrast with today is well alarming.
