Dolly Parton rose from poverty to stardom. She gave $500 to every student in her hometown who finished high school; she built hospitals & bald eagle preserves; her Imagination Library has gifted 300 million books to children. Roger Ebert met her and came away thinking she was a literal angel. RIP.

“In Dallas for the premier of '9 to 5', I had an uncanny experience, and on the plane home to Chicago I confessed it to Siskel: I had been granted a private half hour with Dolly Parton, and as we spoke I was filled with a strange ethereal grace. This was not spiritual, nor was it sexual. It was healing and comforting. Gene listened and said, "Roger, I felt the exact same thing during my interview with her." We looked at each other. What did this mean? Neither one of us ever felt that feeling again. From time to time we would refer to it in wonder.”

🤡"The left" is not rethinking "woke." Because "woke" never belonged to the left. It belonged to Black people. People that never launched a single civil rights or DEI project in their lives, want to speak about us from the NYT opinion column? No. NYT oponion was wrong then, and they are wrong now.

“What Trump did is not really replace one G.O.P. ideology with another,” David French says on “The Opinions.” Instead, “he took the G.O.P. ideology that existed around 2015, nuked it from orbit, and then turned the glowing ruins into nothing but his impulses and desires.”

We are working on a Content Pack conversion tool for Toontown Rewritten. Taking legacy Content Packs, and converting them to be compatible with updates from Toontown Remastered and Under New Management. While it's far from perfect right now, it's showing promising results.

i have done what many said is impossible. i have made an order guide for playing the entire kingdom hearts series, for normal people. i hope this can be a helpful resource to at least one person out there:

ive been losing my fucking mind at this story -- the devs for this Brand New Jame's Pond™ Collection are swearing up and down that they did not use any gen AI for the game or promotional material and this is the image they used to try and defend themselves

The fundraising texts you delete are working on someone. It’s infuriating and heartbreaking. An 85yo in Ohio gave more than double the value of his home. A 91yo in an Indianapolis senior facility gave 25K times. The DCCC/DSCC don’t just tolerate the spammers who exploit seniors. They take part.

Hook and Squeeze

How Democratic consultants, committees, and party leaders built a fundraising spam pipeline that funnels money from a captive pool of elderly donors into their own operations.

Warren Spector speaking some truths here. They were quite happy to rerelease the game and make more money off it recently. Some wider acknowledgement of Epic Mickey's contribution to Disney history is deserved.

I have devoted too much of my life to LEGO Universe, an overly ambitious kids MMO that is, frankly, like a 5 or 6 out of 10 god I love it so much it wired my brain chemistry in just the right way that I turned out the way I did. I cannot gush enough about the things that I love about it

OKAY LETS HAVE FUN. "Most critically acclaimed thing you hate" is like a free square, so lets hear THE CRITICALLY WORST GAME YOU LIKE. Bonus points if it's actually bad, but 'It's actually slept on' is fine. Mine is probably Jurassic Park: Trespasser. Magical, shitty game.

It was 100% magical that we have been able to transfer Pokémon up from the GBA games from 2002 all the way up to Switch 2 games from 2025 The shift to online for things like this is akin to the shift to digital over physical formats. It sucks and it guts things.
