Who are these weirdos trying to make it seem like Dolly is universally beloved because she was ‘politically neutral’? Are they *trying* to rewrite her history as a warning to current/future women in music or could they actually not see past the hair boobs and rhinestones?

Dolly Parton lived with a gay man for years. She was a vocal advocate for LGBTQ+ folks and a philanthropic champion of childhood literacy and education, vaccines, and the black people in her community. "We don't know what her politics were"? Please. She lived them. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/27/a...

I've never seen such an effort to censor a document as I have the Amnesty International report on gender critical groups because of JK Rowling. They removed the report from the Wayback Machine and now I got a DMCA strike on my Google Drive for having it. It was deleted and removed from my account.

A screenshot of an email viewed in dark mode with the subject line "Google DMCA Violation." The email from Google informs the recipient that they have received a notification under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) that some of their materials allegedly infringe on copyrights. It explains the removal process, mentions that notice details will be posted on Lumen, warns against repeated violations, and lists one affected Google Drive URL at the bottomA nearly identical mobile browser screenshot of the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine. It shows a search for the same Amnesty International UK resources URL, resulting in the same message: "This URL has been excluded from the Wayback Machine."A mobile browser screenshot of the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine.

How to help share it: install qBittorrent or Transmission → open the magnet link/.torrent → let it download to 100% → keep the app open afterward so you seed it to others. That’s it.

When people try to say that this was a massive academic scandal, warranting so much coverage, Arday wasn't even the biggest scandal to hit Oxbridge in the last twelve months, and that one was most extensively covered in student newspapers: www.cherwell.org/2026/02/23/o...

Cambridge University should have known better, Fleet Street should have known better, the people hungrily absorbing every bit of news about it, making newsrooms feel like they had to keep going with it as a story, should have known better, horrible horrible horrible

‘Immediately’ is the right answer. My favourite story to tell about my first born (who will be 16 in two weeks): When she was 7 we were reading about Roman gladiators and how they could fight for their freedom and she asked why freedom was a thing worth fighting for and my heart grew three sizes.

what age would you say is appropriate to begin the ruthless criticism of all that exists? asking for a Sweet Baby who loves for her father to read her The Pout Pout Fish and other ideologically dodgy texts

If it looks like an Amazon delivery and drives like an Amazon delivery, then it's an Amazon delivery, right? Not according to Amazon. Big companies like Amazon have built a vast network of subcontractors who deliver their packages while shielding them from accountability.
