One of the (many) horrid things ....
The mayor of New York City Eric Adams was indicted several months ago on corruption charges. This was the right thing to do.
Eric Adams attended the Trump inauguration, which was suspicious.
It turns out that Trump's "department of justice" wants to dismiss all charges against Adams, in exchange for Adams harshly cracking down on immigrants in New York.
So many articles about this, I don't have time to post the links right now.
Justice department officials/judges/prosecutors have resigned in protest. Some of the resignation letters are quite eloquent and scathing.

== In the 16-part thread, the doctor speaks of all the work they did for the CDC Epidemic Intelligence Service.... Lots of work.  And now ... most of the workers will be gone due to Trump/Musk/RFK.Jr.

Here's the full 16-part thread as one batch of text, with images included,

SMDH.

We all know the nation and the world are in crisis these days, but nothing should stop us from honoring our loved ones on a day like Valentine's Day.  If anything, this is the PERFECT time to show our gratitude for each other and prove that "love wins."

I love NLG and think she deserves far more than what GH gives her.  But she's really gotta shut the f**k up.

There are 2 or 3 special elections in the next six weeks.
(They are all currently Republican districts, but you never know).   
If all three special elections occur and go to the Democrats, it will flip the House.

Definite planned election: The 2025 Florida's 1st congressional district special election will be held on April 1, 2025 to fill a vacant seat in Florida's 1st Congressional District.
The seat was previously occupied by Matt Gaetz who resigned from the House Nov. 13, 2024, when nominated as US Attorney General (but Gaetz later withdrew himself for consideration as Atty Gen)

Definite planned election: The 2025 Florida's 6th congressional district special election scheduled to be held on April 1, 2025. The seat became vacant following the Jan. 20, 2025 resignation of Republican Michael Waltz, who was chosen by President Donald Trump to be his nominee for White House national security advisor.

Probable election: The 2025 New York's 21st congressional district special election.
The seat is expected to become vacant as Republican incumbent Elise Stefanik was chosen by president Donald Trump to be his nominee for U.S. ambassador to the United Nations (though as of February 13, 2025, she has not been confirmed by the Senate for the position).

    • I agree. I really have enjoyed this story from the beginning. I feel like it needed the time for us to care about Doug. They've done a nice job of explaining his motives and making me care for him. I still feel like he's doomed and Vanessa will end up being a widow and now I'm invested in that *not* happening now that I've fallen for him. Friday was good but so was the entire week. I think they're doing such a nice job of keeping things moving. We got good movement with Bill's story this week, Chelsea is attempting to date, Andre and Dani are having tough conversations about their relationship, of course Anita reunited with Sharon. There is *so* much going on and I didn't even cover all of it.  I wish all of the soaps would take a page out of BTG book and start rotating their stories. I love that everybody is getting a chance to shine and they don't just sit on one lead story to the point you get sick of it. 
    • Did Jordan Clarke have a departure sometime between 1985 and 1989? I know Robert Newman had three runs: 1981-1984, 1986-1991, 1993-end.
    • Well, they usually weren't on the show at the time for long until the late 90's. But yeah, they really deserved a story centered on them, and not through the lens of Reva.
    • Chelsea was doing the absolute most today! Why was she introducing her sister to a woman she doesnt know? That whole scene was embarrassing. Madison needs to stay away from her bc she is too immature
    • Gosh, what a waste with Lunacy. Why have her live with $B, reveal Finn, pardon her, etc What makes this story incredibly hollow is that what Luna is asking isn't unreasonable - to spend time with her cousin father. She's not asking to move in with them. How hard with it be for Finn to throw her a bone by, say, I'll meet you for lunch/coffee once at week at the hospital cafeteria. Lunacy isn't going to hurt Finn. In fact, all her crimes were related to finding her father and it turns out to be someone she's loved her entire life. Instead of course-correcting the nonsense of last summer, Brad somehow found a way to make this worse! That's a skill... Of all the younger actors B&B has cast during the past 5 years, LY has shown the most growth and range. Why get rid of her? 
    • On the subject of sets (seems more interesting to discuss than the actual show)  Some sets we don't see anymore Lauren/Michael apartment (haven't seen that in years) Victoria's house (are Marian/Tessa living there?) Apartment above Crimson Lights (I think Chelsea was the last resident) Penthouse (Lily's home) Chancellor Estate (Devon/Abby) Chancellor office (once Dark Horse) Nick's house GCAC room (used as residence/hotel room for several characters) Some of these may pop up again. The tack house,for example, was not seen for many months before being used again. Have I missed anything?
    • Thanks for searching through everything. Worked on them so long, just too lazy to check for those links myself, so I am glad you chose to do it! I guess I never did type out anything for 1973-1977 in regards to the preemptions, but they are on the charts at least (and this far back, they don't seem to do any of those "breakouts" anymore, so things are simpler in the 1970's, so eventually I could type those out). 
    • I dump on the Y&R sets problem all the time, but BOLD is no better -- and they're not even introducing new sets. All of their sets are years old, and very few look like they're inhabited by people with money. Is that going to change with this move? I'd rather they save the money spent on another remote, which is no better than an HGTV travelogue, and get some new/better sets.
    • The donut posts here make up for a Friday show that was barely meh. Aside from seeing Anna, I really didn't care much about anything else. While I understand the thought behind breaking up all the sadness with "other scenes," I'd rather they moved right to John's funeral. Instead of hearing a stupid story about John changing some minor character's tire 20 years ago, just move on to the crying. I also thought the Chad and Cat scenes were a waste. I realize not everyone is devastated by John's death to the point of not functioning, but going sky diving is a choice. By the way, Jack and Jennifer are giving me nothing on this return. Please leave asap. DAYS did such a great job with John's death, so ending the week this way was a letdown.
    • Add Dr. Montgomery to list of fine women on this show! I hope the show goes forward with Madison/Chelsea and then once they're developed, bring back Allison, who is now divorced or a widow, for a Madison/Chelsea/Allison triangle.  It would definitely be the hottest triangle in daytime.
