The Threads setup was super simple, it automatically imports all of your Instagram follows and followers.  I don't have many concerns about data mining, in fact, I prefer ads tailored to what I am searching for.  It looks exactly like twitter, and because it comes from Meta, all the news and information sites are already proving information.  So far, so good.

I wonder if it will be a VHS v Betamax thing because Instagram doesn't allow nudity, but twitter does?  If history tells us anything, porn always wins.

On Spoutible, Profile has a company line with a checkmark box to use it as your Display Name. Right now mine is "AMPTP: Pay the Writers!" & I flip back & forth with it & my actual Display Name. Kinda cool. 

The Spoutible emoji set has at least 2 emojis of Spoutible images. 

Explore wasn't working but is now.

#daysofourlives and #soapspouts are working hashtags.

Definitely has the look & feel of twitter only working well & lots of friendly people assisting #newuser

Seems like it's doing impressive numbers and getting good press thus far, and I'd love to see an adequate Twitter replacement take over. But functionality-wise... I use Twitter for way different things than I use Instagram for. I don't necessarily want my soap discussion friends to be following my Instagram, or for all my family and friends who follow me on Insta to be seeing my soap discussions or whatever (not even that I CARE about them seeing it, it just seems weird to be serving that stuff to them). I dunno, having them all linked doesn't make it very appealing for me.

I don’t know if this is true but I have heard that because IG and Threads are linked, you can’t terminate your Threads account without terminating your IG account.  I would imagine that this would be unappealing even for people who already have FB, IG and WhatsApp accounts.

Since I don’t nor will I be using anything Meta universe, it clearly doesn’t concern me but it does make me chuckle to see how Zuckerberg and Musk are insistent on playing out their Pete Becker fanboy fantasies.

My views on all of this are about a minute in.

I despise Elon, and the untold bigotry (yes it was already there, I can't put that on him) he and his blue check system and his amplification of hate and fear through his "!!!" "concerning" replies. The problem is Jack Dorsey and Mark Zuckerberg play for the same team, even if Uncle Jack spends all his time smoking dope and telling you how hot his 19 year old girlfriend is, while Uncle Mark stares at the wall and occasionally asks you where the bathroom is. 

I'm fully aware that is not what Zuckerberg based his site name on, but, especially given our current climate, an app with the same name as a film about out of touch elites leading us to slow, painful deaths isn't even on the nose - it is the nose. And even as the site has made sure to tell us that they censor female nipples, I have seen no effort to stop hatemongers like libs of tiktok from joining up. Facebook radicalized so many into hate and violence - why would this site be any different?

There are still a few people on Twitter I want to read, and I still feel more of a trust with the site, ludicrous as that sounds. If or when that changes, I don't know where I will go. I've heard a few of you mention Spoutible, even if I'm guessing by the time I get there only five people will be left.

    • Thanks. I barely remember any of the backstory there, just his ties to her parents. It was all so convoluted, everything with Tangie.
    • 81 and 82 were rather bad, with the infamous invasion of the Kirkland family. But sometime in late 82 or early 83, Claire Labine was rehired as head-writer and immediately put the focus back on the Ryan's. This time Labine's tenure was short, but she did great work. The entire show was compelling again -- especially the Charlotte Greer storyline (one of the best plots of the entire series).  But Labine was fired, yet again, and Ryan's Bar was bombed, resulting in most of the action being transferred to Greenberg's Deli, and a focus on younger characters with little connection to the Ryan family. So that is what you are probably seeing from 84.   
    • It wasn't that altruistic. He made Tangie a substitute for Blake and was apparently so creepy about it that Tangie spent the years in between getting away from him and running into him in Springfield believing that he had purchased her to be his child bride. It was only when she got to know Blake that she realized that she realized his feelings for her were paternal and suddenly she and Roger became friends.
    • When I watched 1999 Daytime Emmys in real time, I was like "Daytime Emmys will never top this" and that's exactly what happened (at least IMO).
    • Yes in Sami's case lots of people took issue with her being with Dumbell Austin outside of the Carrie issue, cause she drugged him and raped him by pretending to be Carrie. Austin didn't consent & well Ejami fans have used that as a smokescreen against the backlash of Sami & EJ being paired. It's also not so much as being paired with someone period, but paired with his victim & his victim sister. That's a line that should never be crossed by Belle/EJ esp Belle cause Sami isn't the only person in her family that EJ has terrorized. For all points and purposes since she was aged to a teen, Belle has been a daddy's girl so on top of the betrayal when it comes to Sami it's also with John. He ran him down & murdered him after raping her sister. On top of all the other evil [!@#$%^&*] he has done. "Good dick", ONS with a monster one time is one thing we all have lapses of judgements, it's whole different thing to be a whole bird who throws her self respect out the window for a roll in the hay relationship with a monster & act like you have selective amnesia about his many crimes towards your family. While getting on your self righteous hoiler than thou horse about others. No there wouldn't be as much as outrage if he was paired with someone like his equally rapey Black family terrorizing sister, or Ava, Gabi or even Nicole. So it's not as much as about him being paired with someone period, it's more of who he should never be paired with his rape victim, her sister's or anyone in the family of the man he viciously ran down. I don't expect much of anything from EJ but I expect a lot more from Belle. As far as Kristen goes Brady has been called everything but the word of God rightfully so for being with his rapist, his brothers rapist, the psycho who terrorized his parents for decades, family, the woman he claimed to love after she violated her by using a mask of her face

      to pretend to be her so he would sleep with her. Drugging his sister ie,: Sami. If Kristen was paired with someone that wasn't her victim or victims like Alex, Xander, [!@#$%^&*] even Ben no one would really care for the most part. So I hope this gives you a little insight and I hope you know I wasn't trying to be rude.
    • Speaking of Emily, I really wish that Marie Masters could do a Locher Room. I haven’t seen anything about her in years!
    • 1980/81 Dallas was a killer show. 18/23 episodes finished #1 and the remaining five finished 2nd.

    • Going by ratings, I'd say 1982. June 8, 1981 to October 5, 1984 Ryan's Hope time slot rival was Y&R. Ryan's Hope was competitive vs. Y&R until June 1982. Remainder of 1982 Ryan's Hope falls and Y&R rebounds from their post-expansion slump. 1983 Y&R blew up and we know the rest.
    • An early TV role for Carolyn Groves, the Victoria recast we deserved.
