A Tweet Or Two

****

****

Bravo, bravo, bravo and Congratulations. It’s been a LONG time coming

****

Thank you, Shonda Rhimes for reflecting the world as it should be. Also, the 3 women of color who have won Lead Actress at the SAG Awards have all come from Shonda Rhimes’ shows. She has forever changed the face of TV and if you aren’t watching any of her shows, you need to correct that mistake

****

The LOVE that Taraji P. Henson showed the Black actresses who won last night is beautiful. She gave them standing ovations and led the cheers and made sure the audience recognized such huge accomplishments

****

A must watch speech

****

****

This is the best ad Apple has put out for Apple Music. Social media was agog. Who created this masterpiece? AVA DUVERNAY! Plus, there’ll be more

Yo, Hillary? What’s good?

So, ye olde PM Cameron allegedly stuck his penis into a dead pig’s mouth while in college and commenced with the “sexy time.” And you thought the GOP was the only gift that keeps on giving

    Hello TODers, I could use some of your awesome and powerful prayers for a dear friend of mine right now.

    My friend is undergoing surgery for a subdural hematoma (blood trapped in the skull, putting pressure on the brain) at this moment. His wife is very worried. The hope is that they can drill a small hole in his skull and drain the blood easily, avoiding a full crainiotomy (where they remove a big part of the skull). Sorry to be so graphic. He was riding his bike a few weeks ago and was clipped by a car and hit his head. The subdural hematoma was probably due to a small injury they didn’t catch then, exacerbated because he takes blood thinners.

    Please surround Bob and Bonnie with healing light and prayers for an easy and successful surgery. I know you don’t know them, but even a moment of your positive thought energy would help, I’m sure! Thanks TOD!

          Yes, there is sexism in Hollywood. However, Caucasian women get paid better, they get better casting Part jobs, etc.
          But when they see a handful of women of color getting something……..well, some get envious. Racial animus, implicit and explicit biases bubble up…….intentionally or unintentionally. In the age of Twitter, Folks rush out to air their thoughts without FILTER.

        I am not sure if this question was meant for me, Bella.
        My understanding is that the idiot was saying that Ms Davis was/is an A-List Actor who never had problems getting good roles. In short, Ms Davis should Not complain. Obviously, she never noticed that Ms Davis had to struggle more than her share. The fool was just that, a complete fool.

      she helped build, and even ran for a while, the d.l.c. (democratic leadership council), one of the most washington d.c. insider groups out there. it’s all about getting getting cozy with the mega money. my god, she’s insufferable.

      “On February 7, 2011, Politico reported that the DLC would dissolve, and would do so as early as the following week.[4] On July 5 of that year, DLC founder Al From announced in a statement on the organization’s website that the historical records of the DLC have been purchased by the Clinton Foundation.[5]”

      clinton foundation “purchased” whatever was left of the d.l.c. yea, real outsider, she is. note: joe biden nor president obama were ever members of the d.l.c.

      From what I’ve seen of her if HRC ever gets to the WH again it won’t take her long to take credit for *every* thing positive the O-Admin has done the last 6-8 years - she had the idea first; she planted the seed; she did it all…..her way.

      no surprise there. And her stans on Twitter seem morbidly afraid of more debates as well. It’s almost as though they recall how the debates exposed her in 2008, and prefer to skip that part and just crown her this year’s winner….

        September 22, 2025 at 9:36 am

        The problem was not exposing her as much as giving a good platform to others. In 2008 she was riding on her name recognition. The “inevitability” was a media narrative, not more. Once people knew Barack Obama, they realized they had a real choice.

        Forward to 2012. Exact same thing. Hillary is afraid that once people hear her opponents, her “inevitability” will be totally out the window.

        Bernie Sanders could make gains in the debate. Governor O’Malley too. And … Oh… I wish Joe Biden enters the race before the first debate. If he does… poor Hillary !!! Once people hear Joe Biden talk policy, with his authenticity and his wonderful way of explaining complex problems in simple language, watch out !!

        I’m telling you folks… If Joe decides to run and participates in the first debate… He’ll become the frontrunner right away.

        Why do you think Hillary’s surrogates are out there saying he shouldn’t run ????

    Vanessa Williams Joins ‘The Good Wife’ in a Recurring Role for Season 7

    By Tambay A. Obenson | Shadow and Act

    September 21, 2025 at 7:23PM

    Vanessa Williams will join the critically acclaimed drama “The Good Wife” in a recurring role this November. Williams will play Courtney Boalt, an extremely successful, self-made businesswoman who is potentially interested in backing Peter Florrick’s (Chris Noth) campaign for President. In the process, she meets Eli Gold (Alan Cumming), sparking a mutual attraction.

    “There are very few names you can put side-by-side that make you laugh,” said Executive Producers Robert and Michelle King. “Alan Cumming and Vanessa Williams are at the top of that list. We couldn’t be more excited.”

    “The Good Wife” returns for its seventh season Sunday, Oct. 4 (9-10 PM, ET/PT), on the CBS Television Network
