Holy missing words, Batman! This is what happens when my brain is running a mile a minute and I have WAY too much to say. 🙂

And worse: It feels like there’s a heavy implication that someone might actually be straight but was only “experimenting” with their own gender for a bit. It was bad enough when AMC portrayed like this in the 2000s; there is ZERO excuse for this behavior today.

None of this did/does actually feels like daytime embracing a true portrayal of bisexuality, which is absolutely a real thing. It just feels like a way to placate the pearl clutchers in the audience who can’t handle an out and proud lesbian relationship on a soap.

20-25 years ago, All My Children had a problem with giving Bianca a love interest who actually seemed comfortable being in love with another woman. What’s going on with Tessa today feels like the inverse of that. It’s giving what the website TV Tropes calls “But Not Too Gay”. #YR

A character falling for someone who's married is standard operating procedure on a soap. What's disgusting is Daniel falling for an out lesbian & them kissing. Marital status isn't respected on a soap but a character's sexuality should be.

I know it sounds cliché, but losing hope is exactly what this administration wants. The more people give up, the less people will be safe to fight back. So don’t give up.

The dooming on this site is getting out of control. Every time you post anything about politics some rando condescendingly wonders how you can't possibly know that elections are over and all hope is lost. If you've completely lost hope, I'm sorry, but shut the fuck up, OK? You're not helping.

YES. THANK YOU. I'll fully admit that I'm a hopeless optimist, but this kind of endless negativity is boring and tiresome, and you are NOT the edgy badass you think you are for saying this. Put forward what you're going to do combat it or just say nothing at all.

Bit of a curveball here: so Perrie, from Little Mix? She dropped her self-titled debut not too long ago...

And it's legit awesome. One of the best pop albums of the year... with a catch. Enjoy! youtu.be/lkHlHiUUuXU

And it looks like a solid 'no' when it comes to fudging with their own rules behind the scenes, go figure.

(also doesn't fix the holiday song issues - also go figure!)

Quote from Billboard: Previously, descending songs were removed from the Hot 100 once falling below No. 25 after 52 weeks or below No. 50 after 20 weeks. Descending songs will now depart via the following thresholds, once they are:

Below No. 5 after 78 weeks
Below No. 10 after 52 weeks
Below No. 25 after 26 weeks
Below No. 50 after 20 weeks
Songs gaining below those markers will be eligible to remain on the Hot 100 on a case-by-case basis. Plus, holiday classics will qualify to return above No. 50 regardless of total chart weeks, and then be subject to the rules noted above upon their descents; the same for newly-surging non-holiday catalog songs, with those without significant chart history eligible to debut at any rank, as considered individually. Songs will also continue to be removed from the all-format Radio Songs chart once they go recurrent on the Hot 100."

To see if Billboard adheres to their own rules, now THERE'S an interesting question!

Major Billboard changes!

"...when songs move to recurrent status following their runs on the ranking.
Descending songs will now depart... once they are:
Below No. 5 after 78 weeks
Below No. 10 after 52 weeks
Below No. 25 after 26 weeks
Below No. 50 after 20 weeks"
