I REALLY need to know where Bailey-Lou is! Did #GH just forget about her existence? Did the whole Peter storyline get erased from the archives like it never happened?

Why?!?!? I feel sick to my stomach…

Calling ASD a “disease” is stigmatizing and without basis. Tracking people with ASD in a database is fascistic and terrifying.
A social media post from FactPost (@factpostnews ) with a verified blue checkmark reads: "RFK Jr. has announced a new 'disease registry' that will track Americans with autism." The post includes two images: a photo of a person speaking at a microphone (left) and the logo of the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, featuring a blue eagle and the text "DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES • USA" (right).

Darcy is more effective at taking over Carl’s job than Roxie was taking over Susan’s and that makes me sad - I miss Roxie’s energy! #neighbours

If a phone’s location is an airtight alibi, why aren’t they looking to see if Leo’s phone was in the hotel? #neighbours

Ok. So all that hype about Andre’s tribute video for Nicole had me convinced that Leslie had done something to alter it (Didn’t Eva make a copy of it?!?) I was holding my breath, but alas… #BeyondTheGates still brings the soapy drama tho - it’s definitely not predictable!

Since we can’t count on our Senators to fight for us (Thanks Schumer, Fetterman, Cortez Masto, Durbin, King, Shaheen, Gillibrand, Schatz, Hassan, and Peters!) we need to rely on other countries to make the oligarch class take notice

Play stupid games…
X post by John O'Connell (@jdjpoc ). The text reads, "THIS IS MASSIVE. Portugal has cancelled the order for F-35s from the US and will replace their F-16s with European fighters. 'We have to be able to count on the predictability of our allies, which is no longer the case with the United States.'" The attached image shows an F-35 fighter jet flying through the sky with a cloudy background. The post highlights Portugal's decision to opt for European fighters over U.S.-made F-35s due to concerns about U.S. reliability as an ally. X post by John O'Connell (@jdjpoc ), timestamped 21 hours after the first post. The text states, "Sweden likely to follow suit. Others, too. Other European nations and ANZACs all reflecting on the current chaos in the Oval Office and replanning military purchasing. THIS will hurt the USA, especially Lockheed Martin and Northrup-Grumman. (Both massive Trump donors)." The attached image shows an F-35 fighter jet in flight against a cloudy sky. The post discusses the broader implications of European nations and ANZACs reconsidering military purchases from the U.S., potentially impacting American defense contractors.

Just finished first episode of #BeyondTheGates and looking forward to more! Feels very ‘classic soap’ to me

Haven’t watched #GH in months, but I heard that Tajh Bellow has been taken off contract - what a mistake and waste of his talents. He should be a leading man

Watched all the preview/behind the scenes episodes for #BeyondTheGates #BTG and it looks like it is going to be fantastic! Can’t wait!

This is the reason I haven’t deleted the other app yet. I don’t want to keep my head buried in the sand, but I do want to be able to escape into pop culture discussions when everything else gets to be too much (like every day at this point!)

I’m incredibly sad to hear this. Amazon keeps canceling really popular shows (My Lady Jane was the best new show in 2024 hands down!)
The silver lining is that I will finally be able to cancel my @primevideo.bsky.social subscription… #neighbours

I REALLY hope Fallon is not going to be around long. Maybe she’ll settle in soon but right now the actress is distractingly bad #neighbours

Exactly - they knew who they were voting for. They just didn’t think they would be the ones to suffer and they didn’t care about the people they knew would suffer

Absolutely shameful

Here's an e-mail that just went out to NASA agency wide. 🔭
Letter reading, "Dear agency employees, We are taking steps to close all agency DEIA offices and end all DEIA-related contracts in accordance with President Trump’s executive orders titled Ending Radical and Wasteful Government DEI Programs and Preferencing and Initial Rescissions of Harmful Executive Orders and Actions. These programs divided Americans by race, wasted taxpayer dollars, and resulted in shameful discrimination. We are aware of efforts by some in government to disguise these programs by using coded or imprecise language. If you are aware of a change in any contract description or personnel position description since November 5, 2024 to obscure the connection between the contract and DEIA or similar ideologies, please report all facts and circumstances to DEIAtruth@opm.gov within 10 days. There will be no adverse consequences for timely reporting this information. However, failure to report this information within 10 days may result in adverse consequences. Thank you for your attention to this important matter. Janet Petro"

to recap:
— Trump was *for* the TikTok ban
— which the GOP Congress passed
— and the GOP Supreme Court upheld
— and even though Biden said he wouldn't enforce the ban, TikTok shut down anyway
— so that Trump could "save" it
— and the media fell for it
we really do live in the dumbest fucking country

The felon isn’t even president yet - why is he getting credit for TikTok being back?!?!

Just FYI, administrative warrants (like the ones used by ICE) are not judicial warrants (used by cops, signed by a judge).

You do NOT legally have to open the door for an ICE officer with an administrative warrant *no matter what the ICE officer says.*
