Bob's Burgers works for many reasons but one of the main ones for me is that Bob is actually really good at/passionate about the Burgers part of the show. It doesn't work if Bob is another hapless boob who can't get anything right

The buff-tip moth (Phalera bucephala) has mastered a very particular kind of camouflage. When they close their wings up, they resemble a broken twig. Native to large parts of Europe, there's regional pattern variation that reflects the local tree species. This one best resembles birch twigs?
Kukur Tihar/Kukur Puja is a part of a five-day Nepalese festival where people spoil dogs and adorn them with tilak paste and garlands. Dogs are seen as the messengers of Yama, the God of Death, guarding the underworld and guiding the spirits, which associate them with good luck. 1/2 #WyrdWednesday
the lessons we need to take are clear. Dolly said "find out who you are and do it on purpose", and Tim Curry's line is "don't dream it, be it" they would both be disappointed if we wrote that off as corny. so what? it's necessary. we have everything to lose if we are dishonest to ourselves.

Tim Curry and Dolly Parton have taught us not only that you should be bigger, weirder, gayer, and freakier, but also that those qualities are what people will love about you. The things that make you strange and amazing are the things that will resonate with other strange and amazing people
As the saying goes, “Blessed are those who can laugh at themselves, for they shall never cease to be amused.”
Danielle Ryan@danirat.bsky.social · 13h agoI think another lesson to take from the loss of both Dolly and Tim Curry is that neither of them took themselves seriously but they took the work dead serious that's the most important thing pour all of yourself into the craft but have fun and don't get an ego.
The fossil fuel industry just loves war and data centres. Which is just another good reason to stop both of them
If Dolly was our constant reminder that it was Good to be Good, Tim Curry was our reminder that it was Good to be Weird. Embrace your strangeness, sing with Muppets, wear your lingerie with a leather jacket, and fuck with uptight people who hate anything that makes them remotely uncomfortable.
Craig Calcaterra@craigcalcaterra.bsky.social · 15h agoRIP to a motherfucking icon.
We’ve just had Sam Neill, Dolly Parton and Tim Curry. Do we get a pause for a while now?
No matter whether you're intending to publish the piece or not, you gotta stop writing for your Very Worst And Most Horriblest Readers. Are they out there? Yes! Will they read your book? Probably! Do you have to give a shit? You do NOT.

The Empire State Building went pink at exactly 9:25pm for Dolly Parton. Because of course they made it 9 to 5. That’s how you honor an icon. 🩷
Dolly Parton spent her life shifting the Overton window and opening conservative hearts with the subtle skills of a genius locksmith! Bloody hell she will be missed.
I think what’s important to remember about Dolly Parton’s philanthropy in the world of the wealthy is that she was a poor woman who became rich through talent rather than a rich guy who was born rich and got richer through failing up.

In his Second Discourse, Rousseau talks about how man was born free and able to live off the bountiful food that surrounded him in nature and then he was plucked from this state and introduced to society, where he was forced to labor. IG riverreachconstruction

Everyone worried Coles and Woolies are colluding on prices... seems the bigger issue is possible collusion on wage theft...
She was always so real. Her absolute sincerity was charming as hell.
SFDB@sfdb.bsky.social · yesterdayIn 1990, Dolly Parton was on vacation in Ireland when she walked into a local pub in County Kerry and a local musician informed her that he knew her song "Coat Of Many Colors" and asked her if she would perform it with him. This is what happened... Enjoy your evening...
When you're not a billionaire for... reasons. (Stellar work on the captioning.)
Garry@thegmcconnachie.bsky.social · yesterdayThis is why Dolly Parton will be remembered and loved ❤️📚
Yeah, it's a damned sad day, but on the other hand, we were lucky enough to be alive in the time of Dolly. That's worth smiling about even as we dab away tears.
I feel like random acts of kindness are the best thing we can do to honor her legacy. I really do. I think she'd love that.

THIS is my secular Holy Trinity because I'm of precisely the age where Dolly Parton, Bowie and Prince weren't just kick-ass artists but by merely existing as gloriously, unapologetically and triumphantly "wrong" as they were told everyone who didn't fit that there was a place for them to thrive too
