Whoever said that they felt Rafi's joking animosity towards Rolf was heading towards less joking and more actual animosity was right on. It actually made me a bit uncomfortable looking at him. It could just be a joke, but it really didn't look like that

That's what I understood- seriously wtf?? This is the most fucked up way to fix a situation that didn't need fixing to begin with...I can understand looking at the routine that came in 4th and revisiting that, but this?? Really?

She truly is. Simone's tumbling is top notch, but Suni gives the artistry - just beyond beautiful

I saw Nina on beam, so she is at the games, not sure if she qualified though. Just looked - seems that Nina did qualify for uneven bars, but I believe that is it.

I really like Laurie too. A natural commentator she is not, but what she lacks in that she makes up in sweetness and sensitivity to all the athletes. She makes me smile listening to her.

Kind of a double Jammed situation since he got Jammed himself by Trevor (and Sam and Jay). I love that his name was Jeremy in this too lol

I had a long term sub (ironically also in 4th grade), but sadly ours was more like the cavalcade of subs that have been shown here. Unfortunately, our regular teacher ended up dying of cancer mid year and our long term sub was probably meant to be the short term solution, but she had no disciplinary skills whatsoever and when my mom and some other parents came to observe, they saw kids throwing pencils around the classroom, desks being knocked over, and the sub was sitting with a small group of the kids not doing anything about it. Luckily the superintendent listened to our parents and the class was split up in two and each group was sent to a different fourth grade teacher. Years later, I saw the sub again when I was in high school so she did keep her job.

Adding my two cents here from Jersey - all of our librarians ended up being “moved” into different positions around the school the year before my oldest started Kindergarten in 2019. Many of the books in the library are still there and it seems as if it’s a bit of a free-for-all because my daughter used to come home with old library books all the time.

I completely agree. I loved Barbie (my 10 year old has seen it 10 times so I have been forced to see it multiple times) and when I noticed Margot Robbie did not get a nomination, I kind of shrugged. It was a good performance certainly, but really it wasn’t so amazing that it is a travesty that she was not nominated. Social media wants me to feel like Ryan Gosling being nominated was basically a treatise on what the whole Barbie movie was about and I’m sorry, but I’m not going to rail on Ryan Gosling or the Academy about it. You are so right that this sort of discourse really serves to sully whatever kind of happiness America Ferrera must have felt at this nomination because we need to be angry that Margot Robbie didn’t. When I saw the nominations my first thought was not where is Margot Robbie, but pure happiness for America Ferrera getting her flowers!

Exactly what I was saying. Monica can be awful and toxic and her mother can be abusive as shit…both things can be true….

I don’t know why it didn’t click for me at the time, but my then 9 year old nephew had the opportunity to tap with Maurice Hines in the last show he did (Tappin’ Thru Life). I got to meet him when I attended one of the performances at the Delaware Theater Company and a nicer man you could not meet. He was so very sweet to my nephew.

Considering the rumors going around about Simon, it wouldn’t surprise me if he was complicit in all of this. Tons of blind items about what a POS he is too…not really surprising though

Thank you for this! This was a lovely In Memorium. I had no idea about Marilyn Lovell so that hit kind of hard…

Exactly what I was thinking. Such a POS.

From Uncle Buck (full of great insults), but one I often quote is Tia to her mother in the beginning after she has brought home Chinese food ”What a lovely dinner, Mother, how do you find the time” A voice absolutely dripping in sarcasm…just perfect
