Due to Twitter being so difficult for anyone to read now if they aren't on the site (or even then) I can't really post the links, but there's been days-long meltdown from a deeply disturbed writer at Current Affairs (the "left" publication that fired many of its workers when they wanted a co-op, and whose gadfly head was deeply involved in coaching Tara Reade), as her attacking the Buttigiegs and their kids led to a rabbit hole of "Matthew Shepard was killed in a drug deal gone bad," propaganda, pedo apologias, belittling and doubting a woman who was raped due to the claim that she didn't want to have anal sex, a long history of ranting and raving about the horrors of gay marriage and how evil white gay men sicced their dogs on her, and how she is "politically queer," which apparently from various comments made by people who know her, and by her own incoherent screeds, means that she only sleeps with men and has no interest in women, but just feels queer. 

All of this stuff is a great reminder, if any was ever needed these days, or just how virulently homophobic so many on the left are, even if they mask it in fancier language than their friends on the right.

What an appalling man. I don’t regret leaving Twitter last year.


 

I won’t judge those who have elected to stay but I just couldn’t allow that man to capitalize in any way off my intellectual property. He and his apartheid mentality suck.

Maybe the content of the article is better than the stupid headline but I just don’t care enough to read the actual article.

Most books about Trump are steeped in the scandalous years of his administration and often goes further back in time than that. Obama wrote his own books and those were best sellers but most books about Obama that were written by other writers didn’t do such big business either. When it’s time for Biden to write his own post presidency book, that will likely do well. Too many of these other books are rushed to press for a cash grab anyway.

I didn't read the article either. I posted the tweet mostly because about as honest as I've seen the Beltway be about why they hate Biden and want him to lose. He doesn't make them money on book deals and there also isn't an in-house group who buy the books in bulk as often happens with the GOP.

It's a pretty much a porn site now with escorts, influencers, Onlyfans models captailizing off the  bot algorithm to get paid off that tweet mention revenue that he started up a few months ago.

      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.
