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

Rest in Peace, Dolly Parton

Jail this phucker.

A new federal book banning bill is under consideration in the Senate. But library advocates are making our voices head. The right to read is too important to stay silent. Tell your Senators to reject S4925: https://www.action.ala.org/campaign/S4925

Golum said what?

I don’t think people really understand how bad the OMB proposed rule is going to be for state and local govt. We’re talking about putting a full third of state budgets under the explicit control of Russ Vought. (1/2) www.bondbuyer.com/news/cities-...

California got rid of Swalwell in 24 hours. What's the hold up over there, Maine?

Well damn

At this rate, the USMNT should hold their heads up. They're going out the same round as Christian Ronaldo and Messi.

All three home teams move on!

Worst refereeing this entire tournament.

Listen, I went to a Brigerton Ball with a well known historical author and I still don't know her non-pen name. And, since she didn't want to tell me, it's none of my business.

I don’t know, I’m pretty sure it’s past time to start naming and shaming. Silence only protects the abuser. Over and over. Time to take a stand.

This came up in a Google search and, in light of the librarian shenanigans (firings) in the news lately, I'm reposting it. Read it again, especially the last paragraph. Make sure your local library knows you expect diverse collections, programming, and staff. raforall.blogspot.com/2025/01/libr...

New — I collected stories from travelers at airports around the country on Monday after ICE agents were deployed to help TSA. No one understood beforehand why they would be there, and after a day with them around, it’s no more clear. Read the multi-city dispatches:

Robert Duvall, the legendary actor whose career has spanned over six decades, has died at 95, his wife announced

And now Trump's propagandists are covering it up: www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/fox...

Whenever you see a story about how liberals aren't making their conservative peers feel welcome enough, this is who they're talking about.

The Nuremberg Laws are back.

TONIGHT: Organizers in Minnesota are asking you to shine a light for their state.

I'd forgotten how much I hate the sound of jim jordan's voice.

NEW: 9NEWS has obtained video of a prison altercation involving Tina Peters. Prison officials say neither inmate was injured. More details: www.9news.com/article/news...

This is completely fucking unacceptable. Shut this terrorist government down until it stops brutalizing its own citizens.

The Onion is now reporting straight news.

Yes please.

The Hunger Games.

I’M HAVING SO MUCH FUN!

This all-male panel is deciding whether South Carolina women can be charged with murder for their pregnancies — and whether birth control and pro-choice websites stay legal. This a real thing happening today. Don't look away.

I lost a job for calling Charlie Kirk a Nazi, but this is cool.

I helped make a film, out this week, called “Rovina’s Choice,” about the deaths this man without conscience or accountability has caused — already 600,000, ⅔ of them children.

I'd like to see him in jail. Looks like neither of us will get what we want.

One thing I just thought of. The Prop 50 campaign was, as Newsom said, 90 days. Why can't all elections be that length?

The White House walls must be absolutely running with ketchup right now.

Indiana LG Micah Beckwith has called on fellow Republicans in the legislature to further gerrymander the state's congressional map. Gonna guess his influence just tanked. www.newsnationnow.com/us-news/midw...
