People can be annoying...
Mar. 6th, 2024 08:39 pmOne of the things I've learned in life. We have no control over other people, what they do, what they think, how they react, whether they like us or hate us, or love us. None. We have no way of knowing what is inside another person's head or why - unless they tell us and even then? It will most likely be misunderstood. We don't know what will trigger them? What makes them crazy? What will piss them off? Sometimes, maybe, most of the time? Not really. It's best to accept this fact, and be okay with it.
1. The Soap fandom is batshit crazy. And Twitter doesn't help with the crazy. I thought the other fandoms were bad, but they've nothing on Soap fans.

I really despise fans who have nominated themselves the "resident expert" or "fandom police" - or "morality police". I want to smack them upside the head. Seriously? Everyone watches television differently. ( Read more... )
Oh, Michael Val Jean has been tagged to write a new "all Black" soap opera, The Gates.
CBS and the NAACP are developing a new daytime soap opera under their content partnership.
The series, currently titled “The Gates,” would air on the CBS Television Network with the CBS Studios NAACP production venture producing in partnership with P&G Studios, a division of Procter & Gamble.
The official description of “The Gates” states that it “follows the lives of a wealthy Black family in a posh, gated community.”
Michele Val Jean will serve as writer, showrunner, and executive producer. Val Jean has been a writer for “The Bold and the Beautiful” since 2012 and has also written for shows like “General Hospital” and “Santa Barbara.”
Progress. Not surprising it is CBS. Y&R to date is among the few soaps that handled Black characters in a positive way, that didn't stereotype them. GH is working on it - and made progress in the past three years.
2. I got up this morning, and per my routine turned on NY1 to see the weather (hoping it wouldn't rain later - it did), and the rail report (hoping there weren't any delays on my train - there weren't). And low and behold I got the political report or "super Tuesday", and was infuriated.
Livid. I ranted in my head all the way to work about it. Not surprised. Just once again disappointed in the human race, who I don't think is worth piddly-squat. Damn political situation in the US is enough to make anyone misanthropic.
Plus side, more people voted in the Democratic primary than the Republican one, well unless you include Texas. With is the ninth realm of hell. (There are wildfires in Texas right now - so maybe I'm right?)
Honestly, you know the US is misogynistic based on the results alone. ( rare rant about the political situation in the US )
Makes me furious just thinking about it.
3. Work is slightly better. ( Read more... )
4. I still hate the CPAP machine. I can't sleep with it on. So now I'm getting maybe five hours of sleep as opposed to six hours of sleep.
I go to bed earlier. But alas the damn machine keeps me up two more hours. I keep wrestling with it.
It is not designed for someone who sleeps alone, on their side, tosses and turns, with their nose in their pillow, and has insomina for other reasons besides nasal congestion.
Last night I was told the mask needed adjusting.
