What are you watching?

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

I haven't watched this show in a couple of years so I didn't know they've included contemporary dance now.

Dayum!

I think they've had contemporary for at least 5 or more. I used to really enjoy the show, but I have a hard time stomaching Tyra Banks. If they wanted a change from Tom and Erin, OK, but get somebody who is actually a good host and doesn't try to make the show about herself. Last season I barely watched at all, this year, I'm making an effort. But because of the time difference, turns out you can get videos of each couples dance almost real time with the showing. They don't have the judges' comments, though. And this year, except for the one guy that rightly got booted first, everybody is really good.

Have I missed an update about Ulysses and his roku, or are we still waiting on the setup?

He's still missing the left phalange to hook it up to his DVD recorder to interface with his VHS to connect to his TV or some such shit.

Everyone seems beyond caring at this point.

Thanks. Always cool to see science catch up to fiction.

Not to say Andrew wasn't/isn't an asshole. He was throughout his career and likely still is. But that whole "scandal" was orchestrated to take him out. A bit of truth, a bit of exaggeration, and a bunch of drama and poof! you got a Jeffrey Epstein sitting in the Governor's chair. As to Chris, everybody is entitled to a defence, even if they're guilty. Chris hasn't been shown to do anything wrong as far as I can tell.

Nothing criminal anyways, but enough to potentially make him unemployable.

At worst, maybe he should have taken a leave of absence while helping his sleaze bag brother, but I see nothing whatsoever about what he's reported to have done that would make him unemployable - at least in the long run even if CNN is self-righteously offended.

But new documents released on Monday showed that the veteran journalist was more intimately involved than previously known in shaping his brother's defense.
"The New York Attorney General's office released transcripts and exhibits Monday that shed new light on Chris Cuomo's involvement in his brother's defense," a CNN spokesperson said Tuesday evening. "The documents, which we were not privy to before their public release, raise serious questions."
"When Chris admitted to us that he had offered advice to his brother's staff, he broke our rules and we acknowledged that publicly," the spokesperson continued. "But we also appreciated the unique position he was in and understood his need to put family first and job second."
"However, these documents point to a greater level of involvement in his brother's efforts than we previously knew," the spokesperson added. "As a result, we have suspended Chris indefinitely, pending further evaluation."
The suspension came after significant criticism from people who noted that Chris Cuomo had violated widely accepted journalistic norms. Inside CNN, staffers expressed dismay about the anchor's conduct. Charlotte Bennett, a former aide to Andrew Cuomo who came forward in February to accuse him of sexual harassment, called for CNN to "immediately take action."
https://www.cnn.com/2021/11/29/media/ch ... index.html
The documents released Monday included text messages between Chris Cuomo and Melissa DeRosa, a former top aide to Gov. Andrew Cuomo, that suggested he was instrumental in working to craft a defense against a flood of sexual misconduct allegations.
The text messages also revealed that Chris Cuomo sought to use his connections in the press to help prepare the then-governor's team as accusers started to make their stories public.
Guess that's enough for CNN.
