Reminder that, as of noon on Inauguration Day, the
"POTUS" twitter and the the "VP" twitter accounts
get turned over to the new occupants of the offices.
The old twitter accounts are kept intact but the name is archived.

Trump has the POTUS account again (although he usually used his personal twitter during his prior term as president.)

J.D.Vance now has the VP twitter.

 

The old accounts are preserved by the National Archives, as follows:

Joe Biden's tweets as President are preserved at
https://x.com/POTUS46Archive

Kamala Harris' tweets as VP are preserved at
https://x.com/VP46Archive

Barack Obama's tweets as President are preserved at 
https://x.com/POTUS44

Joe Biden's tweets as VP are preserved at
https://x.com/VP44

(yes I know the naming is inconsistent, but that's where they are)


Tweets from Trump's prior term as president, as I said, were usually on his personal account,
but anything on the POTUS account
from his prior term (January 20, 2017-January 20, 2021)
is preserved at
https://x.com/POTUS45


Mike Pence's tweets as VP are preserved at 
https://x.com/VP45

I left X-crement the day after the election. I miss it not at all! Bluesky has filled the void nicely - and completely.

I didn't watch a bit of the Felon Follies today. And speaking of Felon, Rolling Stone keeps it real with its headline chronicling today's travesty, at the link:

I said the same thing when the fires first broke out in California.  That was a warning shot from Mother Nature herself, giving us a taste of what's in store for us these next four years.

If Americans feel giddy today, it's because they believe they have "owned the Libs" once and for all.  People who live in the so-called heartland resent anyone who tells them that they're stupid.  That's always been the issue for liberals and progressives: "How do we get the working class and the people who live in 'flyover country' to see things our way without saying that they're stupid?"   Because, the truth is, people who live in this part of the country are extremely stupid people with extremely stupid (and extremely dangerous) points of view.

Glad it isn't just me cutting back on social media.

I am planning to wrap up my time on X soon. I just have to finish going through my follows and find the same people on BlueSky when I find time. 

I barely post on IG and I've cut back tremendously on FB over the past year. I can see myself phasing both platforms out by the end of the year. 

I will try FanBase as it is ran by a man here in GA. I never got into TikTok (as it was tied to China), so I don't mind testing this out. 

Like my time and mental health, I am about to be strategic about where I put my money.

Haven't opened a single news channel or opened a single article. It's not worth the stress at this point. For a second while browsing youtube I saw a glimpse of horrible plastic-surgery ridden crowd led by Musk... cheering. That was enough for me.

Yeah, I will probably go for a walk. Haven't seen much of anything. Helped by my TV system going down.

 

Not sure how my social media is going to be given how it was already a slippery slope over the last year and I had already begun to cut back on it outside of business and taking on a hermit mode who occasionally socializes. But even that is changing and I'm getting to a point where I just don't have time for giving out energy for people who don't at all deserve it anymore.

Ok... I slipped and saw a gif someone shared of Leprechaunia giving Bozo the clown the cold shoulder when he tried to kiss her. I am laughing so hard. This really... does not deserve anything more than MY LAUGH!

    • Thanks -- you're doing God's work The Gio reveal was everything I hoped for and more. GH got it right. Head to toe, GM is a stunning physical specimen.
    • I really wonder how they'll handle Netflix's usual long breaks between seasons. That girl is going to grow up fast... makes me wonder if this wouldn't have been a better fit for HBO Max considering they're leaning into a more broadcast style of production model with The Pitt.
    • I agree -- I didn't suspect Ted, either. I think a lot of people are giving themselves way too much credit in predicting Ted's problems

      And can I have a different take on Ted here? Yes, he's made a huge mistake with this Leslie debacle, and yes, he has to suffer and pay for it. But does that make Ted a terrible human being? I don't think it does. He made a horrific mistake over 2 decades ago, and as far as we know, he's been a good husband and father since. As far as we know, he hasn't strayed or violated his marriage since. He didn't know that he fathered another child, and thought he "removed" Leslie from his life. I won't blame Nicole if she doesn't forgive him, but I also won't blame her if she decides what they have and what they've had more than makes up for what he did. Ted is getting dragged far more than Bill is on these boards, and I think Bill is MUCH worse as a husband and father. How many times did he cheat on Dani during their marriage? How many times did he do vile things in his role as fixer? How much did he hurt his daughters by screwing their friend and marrying her? With Keith Robinson coming in as Ted, maybe we'll see a character change in direction and we'll discover that Ted has many flaws and always had a dark side. For now, though, I'm inclined to both be angry with Ted for hurting his family while also sympathizing with him. I know what you mean, but I do think that was intentional. So much was going on in that episode, and I think they decided not to let Nicole's reaction be lost in all that. Nicole will get those scenes that you're asking for.  
    • That was the original point of me sending you her 6 airdates, so now with those, and the link to the daily episode guide I've provided, that should help you more easily find the additional Ruth Buzzi scenes. I will always repeat myself when it comes to defending my data that I've taken decades to research and compile. But, as you pointed out in a recent post, I am kind, so at least I will do it with you in a kind way as opposed to the usual social media way most people do with just getting rude/nasty. That's not my style, as you correctly pointed out earlier this week, and never will be.  So, all is well!

    • Ambyr Michelle continues to be *that girl.* She’s just a star, period. Elevates every scene she’s in on the sheer strength of her emotional realism and charisma. Can sell any dialogue. I wish the show veered away from the B&B-style scripting. TMG/Leslie’s tirade stood out, I suppose, but she’s getting a bit mustache-twirly. And I wish DD had more to do in that episode than stand and sob.
    • Well, that was down to CBS being weak and not being willing to just pulling the plug entirely. They didn't want to commit to cancelling the show in case they needed it for their schedule basically; plus they kept showing that they were willing to make cuts if needed to be. 
    • I'm sorry but clearly what I've said is not satisfactory to you. I have now read what you have to say, twice. As it happens, my interest at this point is looking at other mislabeled files to find this other Ruth Buzzi content. I do not see any point to each of us repeating ourselves, so I will leave it here. 
    • It seemed to be your intent. coming into a thread I started and making multiple posts saying my data was wrong. In the next paragraph you say "Of course, I was suspicious from the very first instance where what I saw & heard did not agree with what it should have.  I'm very glad to know why." That certainly didn't stop you from immediately saying the data was wrong, until I provided additional receipts. Why did you not check the daily episode guide (for instance, this one for the 1980's) I posted for the world to see for exactly this reason...to help confirm airdates: http://daytimeroyaltyonline.com/days-daily-summaries-1980-1989-t15361.html? That is what you should be checking BEFORE you make any posts in the future like this, trying to suggest something from my data is incorrect. You could have also messaged me and asked me why your dates weren't adding up with what the correct data is. I would have fast forwarded through that video you posted, spotted Roman and Hope and immediately have told you that was the 11/1/83 episode.
    • Jason, just let me say that it was not my intent to any way impugn any of your data  or research. I'm very sorry if it came out that way. Obviously the person I got these 4 November episodes from has mislabeled files, multiples, which I was certainly unaware of.  When I am editing it is all about what I see & hear. Later, I find time for greater reflection.  Of course, I was suspicious from the very first instance where what I saw & heard did not agree with what it should have.  I'm very glad to know why.  If you find you are no longer interested in the edit, that is fine. I have no ego in this. I did it only to share it.
    • I feel like Vernon and Anita need to not be hypocrites and try and take the heat off Bill in this case. It's clear that the family used him as a fixer and especially knowing he helped with Martin's situation, they need to either be quiet or support him. BTW...with Vanessa being in the hospital for food poisoning, am I the only one who thought Shanice was gonna say she's pregnant or had an STD? The only reason I say STD is because she hasn't had any memorable sex partners, but I definitely don't believe she just had food poisoning.
