granted i was doing board SG work during an absolutely bananas time for the club and it would have destroyed most anyone but ….. there is certainly a dichotomy of people not wanting to take on the burden and those same people Being the Burden

we're 4 weeks into the season at this point. has any broadcaster done the bare minimum of saying "Watson was accused of sexual assault by 20+ women" instead of merely saying he was dealing with some sort of indeterminate "issues"

Maybe It Will Happen Today @today-maybe.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
A digital illustration of a version of the big board from Wheel of Fortune. An array of green rectangles (each bearing an icon of a hand with crossed fingers inside a circle with rays), and white rectangles that indicate the letters in the secret phrase contestants are trying to guess. The board is not yet solved and reads like this:

M_YB_ I_
_ILL H_PP_N
__D_Y

Standing next to the board in a shiny pink and maroon evening gown and ready to turn around newly-guessed letters is a woman whose head is a human hand with crossed fingers. 

Below the board in the space where viewers at home are informed what type of  phrase is in play it simply reads ‘PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE’

i don’t really care how ~cool~ you think smoking is, it makes my lungs cease to live, laugh, love and triggers my migraines! the return of the cigarette is the bane of my goddamn life and i hope whoever continues to smoke in my non smoking apt building always has something itchy in their socks.
