All the little talking heads tried to push the "Cassidy Hutchinson lied!" scenario. Too bad there still appear to be those besides her that backed it up. And now Peter is getting his ass dragged for it. GOOD.

These fossils don't care about REPORTING news. They want to MAKE news. Even if it kills the country.

Between this and the "eliminate the filibuster now!!! Don't just tell people to vote!!!" type talk that is obviously impossible, Hogg seems to have fully moved into the dead-end "do something" side of Twitter. I would say this is a sad waste of his activism but I don't remember him accomplishing much of anything in activism...

That's true, but at a time when gun control activists have probably had some of their bigger success in recent times, his Twitter basically being an interchangeable "do something!" outlet makes me wonder if he just does not have that type of involvement anymore.

Yep. People don't know other people's lives, and quite frankly, it's none of their business. Hell, I stood on top of Mount Zion and preached the word of the gospel that it's nobody's business. In this case, a 10-year-old girl is stripped away of her innocence and you got these people in Ohio who are saying, "Nope. While you work on your 5th or 6th grade homework, you're carrying this fetus." Despite this poor girl's circumstances.

Ever since Johnson was mayor of London, I always thought he was an oaf. I am surprised he has lasted this long but the Brexiteers were desperate for him to “get Brexit done”, I guess.

In terms of the abortion issue, I think we are at the beginning of a wave of lawsuits that will challenge the ruling by the Supreme Court. And if I were to guess, I think the cavalcade of lawsuits will be a sustained wave.

@DramatistDreamer As a resident of the city where he was mayor, I can confirm that he always was an oaf. More than that: venal, corrupt, completely bereft of ideas or direction -- he just wants to stay in power for power's sake. A disastrous PM at a time when the world desperately needs competency and imagination.

The UK is crumbling under some serious problems, many similar to the US (almost-10% inflation, bottlenecks in jobs, goods and services, the poor getting further squeezed by inflation after over a decade of austerity cuts and hollowed-out life options, legal/policing/health systems at breaking point). Boris has zero policy ideas to solve problems. He just does not care. He and his cabinet of braying idiots (Sunak and Javid at least have two braincells to rub together) are a disaster. He will cling onto power as long as he can, and maybe his successor will be even worse because BJ purged the Tory party of actual brains and promoted ass-kissers who would never overshadow him on the brain-trust front.

    • I imagine Brad will blow through all the money in a year and come crawling back, just as Portia warned him not to.

    • That's a name I haven't heard in a minute. Thanks! 
    • Well, since I'm still up unexpected past my growing-into-it bedtime. lol.   I finally got to rewatch Monday's. I even rewatched Friday's to take it all in. Now that we got the reveal and hit the climax of the SilkPress Sheila storyline, now we get to watch the aftermath and/or turns that come with its climax. So far, so good. Friday left us with three cliffhangers. And what I found surprising was how I felt about them over a rewatch.    I know some of you all felt a way about the dialogue during Kat vs Eva. I remember liking it more the first time around and it was nice for them to have these scenes to establish more of a frenemy vibe for them going forward. That still held up. But I found myself agreeing with you all about that dialogue. lol. Still, it was nice to have both of their POVs.   Second up was Silk Press Sheila vs the Duprees. And I was happy to get a brief spat with Dani in there. But the rest standouts for me was Anita and Martin. Haters can hate and given the tail end of the episode, I will agree to a fault, but Brandon has impressed and he was on fire on Monday and had great subtle work on Friday. And that subtle work made it all the better. Like I believe I said when I was watching...BC has a much better grip on his character and seems to be realizing what his tics are so has started to be able to know when to turn it up and when to dial it down. And for the most part (emphasis on most), he got that. Meanwhile, TT was giving fierceness, and I was here for every minute of it. Her reading SilkPress. Her being quip about it. Her 'BE STILL.' Ooooo she had a chokehold on me as Anita gave what I was expecting her to SilkPress. WORTH THE WAIT. I also loved Vernon's CHOOSE SILENCE. I wonder though if SilkPress will figure out Martin's condition from her observing Anita and Vernon with him.   And speaking of worth it...Oooo YES Nicole vs Ted was worth totally worth it. Oooooo I knew DD would nail it, and it was all so well done. The fight between the part of Nicole who is a therapist vs Nicole as a woman who wants to express how she feels. And being so angry. And how there would be moments when it would shoot out of her. And how she would restrain herself. But how she felt she should not be restrain. Just the levels of processing and layers. And DD played it all so well. I do wish Maurice gave just a little bit more, but overall, I thought he did a good job even if it was just Ted coming across as a deadbeat and not at all redeemable. And Kat being there for her mother was so beautiful.   Minority, but I love the montage though yes, it did run a little long. Given how the Duprees like to bond (and also as I mentioned from my own very recent family experiences), it did not seem out of place to me.     That said...let's see how the aftermath worked in today's episode. Overall. Cuz RC can be hit or miss. 
    • I wonder whose brilliant (

      ) idea it was to do an almost complete rip-off of the "who killed Tom King"-storyline. That's some quality style writing right there.....  
    • The show is done. It got canceled at the end of January. https://www.soapoperanetwork.com/2025/02/fox-first-run-cancels-dish-nation-person-place-or-thing-pictionary-759232
    • I believe it. ESPECIALLY that last one. 
    • Aristotle Dumas. Just thought I'd throw that out there!  
    • Lol is that like an AI type of thing that popped up?
