Thank you Carl. I found this one too, but if I were standing in line I think pizza would be what I'd want.

Looks like Pizza to the polls is legitimate.

I see that sky is falling narrative has shifted from 2016 to 2000 and with Barrett being confirmed. The SOTCUS siding with the GOP in the Wisconsin case and Trump signaling that he wants votes to be counted no later than Nov 3 and it's going to be ramped up to infinity. Trump is laying the seeds to not have mail in ballots counted and once he's up in the election, he and the networks will declare himself the winner.

If you want to call it that, then yes I am. I plan on voting tomorrow  (I live in a swing state)  straight Democrat,  and then I'm staying away from politics as best as I can until next Wednesday. I doubt I can totally filter out politics though.

Not that this race is likely to come down to late mail ballots, but this might end up effecting Republican ballots more so than Democratic ones. Democrats have been extremely persistent about voting early and making sure that mail ballots are turned in immediately.

Pretty much, yes. The best to hope for is that people can keep a close eye on Republican officials and dirty tricksters who will on top of voter suppression, make Democratic ballots disappear and hope against hope that it will not be tight on the day. As it is now, we are in a position where there's a huge chance Trump will be ahead in a number of key states at midnight on Election Day, and he simply has to say he's won, then wait for the SCOTUS to agree. The media needs him in power for their revenue, so they will go along.

There was some talk about Bloomberg not agreeing to the requests of Democrats to help with the Senate. I guess that is due to 'bipartisan' reasons, but it does make sense to throw some money at Texas and Ohio, as those are bonus states and they could also catch Trump's people off guard in Ohio (they just moved their director there to PA).

 

Disgusting. (his opponent's campaign is linked in the replies - no idea if she has any shot)

      Jane Wyman return episode was head-to-head w/ Cheers season 8 finale. Falcon Crest broadcast syndication began Fall 1986, which overlapped w/ Oprah going national. AFAIK cable broadcasts were Lifetime and Soapnet. I have no memory of cable broadcasts on TBS, TNT, TNN, E!, FX.
    • After today’s rushed and abrupt exit for Summer I immediately realized that Josh & Co. were very blindsided by AL’s decision to leave.  Not the first time this has happened to JG either; see MM & HK’s exits in 2021, MM’s exit in 2022, and of course TSJ’s exit last year. Obviously JG and our executive in charge of nothing Steve Kent don’t have a good handle on casting disruptions. And Mariah having an offscreen affair is [!@#$%^&*] ridiculous!! Meanwhile Tessa’s blonde hair is overkill with the number of blondes on the show already. I said the same thing 3 years ago…of course it was utterly ridiculous everyone was mad at Sally for getting Summer he dream job (don’t ask lol) but there was so much the show could have done without bringing on the Marchetti angle.
    • Does the ball on GL where Philip revealed that he had forced Alan out of Spaulding count or was that not Philip's idea?  There was a ball on AMC where Adam revealed that he had bankrupted Palmer, I think (or was it the other way around?), but I can't remember who threw that.
    • Thanks for honoring Ruth Buzzi. She was a treasure. I'm glad DAYS let her have some fun. I remember Imogene Coca complaining about ATWT just giving her a drab guest part.
    • It's such a delicious set of circumstances that I'm actually a little surprised that I can't think of ones that exactly match. I've just got a couple of close but no cigars (the reveal wasn't public, like when Alexis told Dominique at her and Garrett's engagement party that Garrett lied about being married; or the revealer didn't come up with the idea of the party). Maybe I need to think some more about it.
    • Not too shabby, making her mark in only six episodes. There's a project for the soap historians -- characters with the least episodes/most impact.
    • Which could make sense , except that we have seen Mariah function for years w/o any real residue pain from her upbringing. Josh decides to randomly make it a thing, when a good writer might foreshadow that for months. It's not like he's just arrived at the show. He's been there for years . Everything seems to be thought out only a few weeks ahead. It's like Phyllis all freaky from being kidnapped when she has done a million other things that didn't seem to bother her at all.
    • Unrelated, sort of, but he looks absolutely nothing like Amanda Setton or Dominic Zamprogna so it's kind of hilarious they decided to make Gio their kid.  It's very clear this was not the original origin story for Gio when they cast him. He is a very handsome guy though. 
    • I tend to agree, although going back to OLTL, Frank has so often cast guys who are meant to be attractive yet come across as cold and dead, I'm surprised he managed to get one who has a bit of a pulse.
