My posts are split between "decline and fall of western civilization" and nonsense. Fair warning: nonsense always gets the bigger reaction. Never even close. He/him.

I want @iaincoleman.bsky.social to become a multi-billionaire solely because I believe that _he would actually go through with this_. It's important that he commits the money into a trust up front though. No backsies.

When I was 18 this review was a good way to convince my friends that Dolly Parton is Actually Really Good; now that I am in my 50s, this review is a good way to convince my friends that Bob Christgau is Actually Really Good

Best of Dolly Parton [RCA Victor, 1975] In her productivity and devotion to writing Parton is like a nineteenth-century woman novelist--a hillbilly Louisa May Alcott. What's best about her is her spunkiness and prettiness (Jo crossed with Amy); what's worst is her sentimentality and failures of imagination (Beth crossed with Meg). And this is the best of her best. At least half of these songs have an imaginative power surprising even in so fecund a talent--images like the bargain store and the coat of many colors are so archetypal you wonder why no one has ever thought of them before. The psychological complexities of "Jolene" and "Traveling Man" go way beyond the winsome light melodramas that are Parton's specialty. And even when the writing gets mawkish--"I Will Always Love You" or "Love Is Like a Butterfly"--her voice is there to clear things up. A+

Also, I don't have LinkedIn so can't see more, but I searched "Jason Pirro" "Dolly Parton" to find out more about this and there's a Jason Pirro on LinkedIn based in LA listing his employer as "Dolly Parton Productions". Looks like she employed this bloke for forty years. Which also says a lot.

Didn't know this until today but Dolly Parton had a transsexual man named Jason Pirro work as her Hollywood chauffeur in the 1980s, per an interview he gave to The Sun in 1990. "Dolly has been good to me...Dolly knows all about me."

"Whenever Dolly coaes into Hollywood for a aeeting, or for business, or for filaing, or just staying here, she calls ae and I drive her around."

I was just talking to a friend today about Dolly Parton's Imagination Library - new books every month, totally for free, for kids ages 1-5. My son was part of the program - this is a copy of the letter that came with his last book, right after his 5th birthday.

Nice to see the mask off re: the rural areas they are dumping these things. If they were so great, rich folks would be begging for them on their Wyoming ranches. But the hayseeds with the Dollar General and local businesses? They should be grateful!

This is what data center developers are saying all across Michigan It's condescending and it's going over like a lead balloon.  Michiganders don't need some California billionaires telling us what to do, and we aren't buying their false promises.
