"One outcome of cynical Republican redistricting is that Black and white, urban and rural voters alike in Tennessee have the chance to consider an alternative to both mainstream Democratic and hard-right Trumpian politics."

Something big may be happening: Trump's world-historical misrule may be creating the conditions for the emergence of a coalition similar to the one that ousted Viktor Orban earlier this year: Anti-corruption, anti-authoritarian, pro-democracy. I made this case here: newrepublic.com/article/2161...

Omigod, this is the most heartwarming story possible! Backpack (bear 89) is the son of the 2019 winner of Fat Bear Week, Holly (bear 435). In 2007, he injured his foot & a practice of riding on momma's Holly's back had a new meaning: he was mobility-restricted while it healed. So Holly moved him.

Meet Backpack, your 2026 Fat Bear Week champion. Backpack is 20 years old, weighs about 1,000 pounds and got his nickname because, as a cub, he loved riding on his mom's back across the Brooks River.

Today is #HobbitDay because Bilbo and Frodo Baggins were both born on September 22nd. Normally we'd shire a hobbit pun or two but it might just feel like a tolkien gesture and we don't want to embarrass our elves. Anyway it's a good day to come and boromir #Tolkien books. 📚

(doing this again because I couldn't decide between 2 of my faves. lol) Make your favorite film sound as boring as possible without giving away the title: Orphan with heart condition fights to save his family's business.

Make your favorite film sound as boring as possible without giving away the title: Parolee takes a job driving; long periods of boredom punctuated by arguing with his bosses & meeting some very weird locals.

Christianity's reputation is badly tainted thanks to the Christian nationalists who back Trump. But Dolly never ceded ground to their ambitions. She stood for equality, inclusivity & hope -- democracy -- & drew on her Pentecostal roots. We're all God's children or we're not, and God is never wrong.

Here's the official announcement of Parton's passing from her reps, along with the request that in lieu of flowers, the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at www.imaginationlibrary.com

Dolly Parton, among a thousand other amazing things she did in her life, gifted over 330 million books to kids through her Imagination Library program. Her passing is a tremendous loss to the world, but you can support the program today to keep it going imaginationlibrary.com

Remember that if you got the Moderna Covid vaccine, you have Dolly Parton to thank, she gave the largest individual contribution toward their research to make it possible.

Remember when there were big incidents with some bad thing in produce and the CDC told us within days "oh yeah, it came from this spinach factory, on March 8, third line, don't buy bagged lettuce with IDs starting with 17000."
