Damn.

She (Casey) is better.

Tonight 8:00 PM - 10:00 PM ET: "Hollywood Duets Challenge"
Claudia and Casey should both be performing, and I'm guessing we'll get full songs with a 2 hour show.
The judges again will eliminate folks.

If the judges still vote I'll bet the producers make her (Claudia) stay if she's any good at all....

The promo shows an ambulance. :confusion-scratchheadblue:

Edit: They're not showing full songs . Some amount of Claudia duet drama, no surprise. She does not advance while her duet partner does. So much for my predictions, but I can't say that the judges got it wrong.

Edit: I guessed that the ambulance would be for a panic attack or falling off the stage. Sorta both - Funke Lagoke fainted on stage during judges' comments - chin lac. She advanced.

Edit: Very strange. I don't think that a Casey Bishop duet aired.
There's nothing on the AI YT channel.

Ah, this explains it, it was largely negative PR from the get-go.

Claudia and Kellyanne Conway's return to 'American Idol' reignites backlash: 'Absolute garbage'

Idk if that hastened her exit, but it did remove any reason to give her the benefit of the doubt.

Well, it looks like TN is going to go back to the days of the wild west with regard to carrying concealed weapons with no waiting period, no training, no background check. Nuts

The old west wasn't all that gun-wild. Guns checked in bars, sometimes by sheriffs for strangers coming into town. And in the famous and infamous "Gunfight at OK Corrall," three people got killed. Hardly would make lead news anymore. Tennessee seems to be trying to take a leading role in dumfuckery. BTW, do the new rules also apply to Black people?

Ad far as I know, at present there's no pending stipulation in this dumbfuckery that prevents black people from reaping the benefits of this public safety milestone.

Some will benefit. For others it will be an excuse to treat Blacks more harshly.

Man Paid in 90,000 Oily Pennies Cashes In With Coinstar


Worker Andreas Flaten got paid, and did not have to clean the pennies.
Coinstar got priceless free advertising and can maybe write off its expenses.
Miles Walker is now nationally known as a petty cheat, liar and coward.
A OK Walker Luxury Autoworks has gotten incalcuable negative PR. Its "Contact Us" page is now blank, its yellowpages.com rating is 1 star and its Reviews appear to have been deleted except for "Pay in pennies!" accompanying a pic of dog shit with a coin in it.



Karma.

Texas House votes to allow Texans to carry handguns without a license or training

You may soon need a license to drive and vote in Texas but not carry a handgun in public.

After years of failed attempts by gun advocates, the Texas House on Thursday gave initial approval to a bill that would drop the state's requirement that most handgun owners obtain a $40 license to carry their firearm in public, concealed or openly. Currently, Texans 21 and over with no criminal record can get a license to carry a handgun if they complete a training requirement, don't have a drug addiction, and can "exercise sound judgment with respect the proper use and storage of a handgun," the Austin American-Statesman explains.

The measure would drop the license requirement, though federal background checks would remain in place for most handgun purchases, with exceptions for private and gun show sales. It passed 84-56, mainly along party lines; five Democrats voted in favor, one Republican voted against. The legislation needs another vote in the House, and it faces an uncertain future in the state Senate....

'Te' states suck.

Luke Bryan says she'll win. I didn't watch all of the auditions or all of last night where the songs were massively shortened, anyhow, but she's the best I've seen this season.

I have not been watching enough to say that I think that she's the best, but Casey Bishop just made it to the top 7! Here's Sun night's performance:


Casey Bishop Gives a STUNNING Disney Week Performance With Toy Story Classic!

Other performances by her.

Claudia never had a chance.

I'm not sure, but it looks like the finale is Sunday, May 9.

I found this goodie in a comment section on a vid speculating that trump knew in advance that he was gonna lose the election, and that was part of the plan.

Can't tell if its a troll or not.

Idk. I didn't watch the Comeback episode and didn't watch enough of last night to pick up on the drama.

Never seen American Idol. Don't think I'll start tonight.

I've usually enjoyed the auditions, then lose interest in the weekly competition.

... And the situation became even more awkward at the end of the evening, when Arthur was voted through to the top seven — thus taking a spot from either Deshawn Goncalves, Alyssa Ray, or Cassandra Coleman, all of whom went home after giving excellent Disney performances....

Idk about the other two, but Cassandra has been very good.


Cassandra Coleman Top 16: Nashville Girl's STUNNING "Wicked Game" Performance!

Sounds like a mess. I'll bet that the producers don't allow Arthur to win whatever the viewer voters do.

Preterm? ...

Aha. Per TV news: About 6 months gestational age and Mom did not even know that she was pregnant. Must have been tricky for the onboard medics to figure out this was labor. A wrong guess by a triage nurse once meant we delivered in the ER rather than getting the patients to labor and delivery. That was exciting.
