^ Good news.

 

I had no idea about this was happening. How awful and I doubt any human rights agency or government will be able to step in and save them.

"The sheer scale of the internment camp system, which according to The Wall Street Journal has doubled in China’s northwestern Xinjiang region just within the last year, is mindboggling."

Without having yet read this article, is it the Uighur population?  China treats the Uighurs terribly and has for many years and Uighurs have rebelled by committing acts that China has labeled as terrorist. My guess is with Islamaphobia running rampant in the past 17 years, this has gotten very little attention.

Do you think he can beat the Republican?  I haven't lived in Florida for six years, so I haven't kept up with the political situation there.  Florida seems like a place where demographics must eventually lead to more democrats being elected.  I'm not one to believe demographics alone can save us on the whole, but dare I hope Florida is at a tipping point?

Republicans seem to pull out these gubernatorial elections every time in Florida, so it's tough to imagine change. I have already seen some people saying he can't win because some of his former allies are under FBI investigation, and that he will cost Democrats Bill Nelson's Senate seat, and state supreme court seats, etc. Personally I think that's unfair and it is obvious there are real problems with Nelson this year that have nothing do with who is running for governor.

Needless to say, I'm glad to see the GOP incumbents ousted in my state.  I won't get my hopes up TOO high, but I do think the fiasco over teacher pay raises was the last straw for many.  We're losing teachers at an alarming rate.

This is the kind of wrong that can never be made right. Those people are gone forever and it didn't have to be that way.  It's really frustrating to watch this incompetent and spiteful administration cause so much damage.

Absolutely disgusting.

What an ass. He'll claim he didn't mean it "that way", but I'm pretty sure I haven't heard that expression in 30 years.

The "monkey" comment is disgusting both for what it is and because it's such blatant crackpot racism - a real clarion call for the "Oh you think this was racist? YOU'RE RACIST!!!!" types who probably populate areas like North Florida. The saddest part is it will work so well.

    • Christian Streaty wrote her second freelance script today on Days. Surprised they gave the first funeral episode to a newbie.  
    • And the third thing, which I have no cite for, and I may look to see if one is findable, but supposedly she said that the show had too much gay content in it. And, to be fair, that could be someone making a criticism about balance & not be bigotry but when it's added to the other, that's why it bugs people.

      The greatest tv series season finale in history.   
    • Mick Savage was sooo unbearable. And more unbearable was the reaction from the female characters to him - they were acting like he is God's gift to women and sooo irresistible. To a point of unbelievable cringe. 
    • Today was a short one. Only 33 minutes.  The ‘Part One’ graphic at the beginning was pretty interesting though. I didn’t expect them to do something like that.  I like how everything was focused around John and his family and friends. Again, the acting and the dialogue was very well done and well written. And I love that they were able to incorporate Drake’s, “swing for the fences” phrase into the script. It was nice seeing everyone interact with each other, especially characters who don’t often share scenes together. It felt like every character was part of a big family or community. Plus, an outdoor funeral in June makes a lot more sense than an outdoor funeral in December.  But yeah, it’s very, very strange that Will isn’t at the funeral, especially since we know that

      I would much rather he had been there today. And, where’s Anna too? And Jack and Jennifer? What was the point of bringing them all back if they weren’t going to attend the funeral? I expected Steve to want to close down BlackPatch, though I’d rather he just retire and let Paul take it over. But I like that Kayla was there to comfort him. I wonder if he’s going to change his mind at some point.  It was nice seeing Shane again too. Now, he just needs to have more scenes with his son lol but I enjoyed seeing him comfort Marlena. I’m not really sure about his interaction with Cat though? Was it really necessary for this to happen now, at John’s funeral? They could’ve waited a little longer to introduce this story arc.  Btw, was Tate bleeding from his head in his first scene with Arianna? 
    • This is the coldest early June in my life. It's like it's January.

    • Now this strikes me as funny. I have it up on my acct. The thing is I only have S2. Didn't want either 1 or 3.  Perhaps I should just list all of these that I have up.  Parodies: Dirty Sexy Money, Filthy Rich Incomplete: The Monroes, All That Glitters, Falcon Crest (have all just not all up), Once & Again S2 only Complete: Models Inc, Pasadena, Pacific Palisades, Paper Dolls, Flamingo Road  
    • This is wonderful! Thank you for posting this! I loved the first two seasons and never got to see the final season when they cancelled the DVD release. I've been hoping this popped up on streaming but no luck. Happy I'll finally get to see how it ended!
