It's Lake Ontario. It's the Gulf of Mexico. It's the Department of Defense. It's the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.

Wake up, babe. The Prime Minister just dropped “hydronym”.
My suggestion is to cancel your subscription to any media company that refers to Lake Ontario as Lake America.
this is so incredible I can’t stop laughing because he forgot to include Reagan
Dolly's look was circusy, sure, but it represented something serious too. It began as an act of calculated defiance, a way to bolt out of a hill country hovel, and a retort to preachy rules about "trashy" looking women. My piece on Dolly for @theatlantic.com : www.theatlantic.com/culture/2026...
The Truth About Dolly Parton’s Style
It wasn’t about showbiz. It was about sovereignty.

Reminder: Dolly Parton helped fund the Moderna vaccine for COVID.
Dolly Parton, who helped fund the Moderna vaccine, gets a ‘dose of her own medicine.’ (Published 2021)
The country music star broke into song before she was inoculated, and urged her fans to “get out there and get your shot.”

Fuck. No. The greatest human being to ever live. Was thinking about Steel Magnolias when the director shouted at her in front of everyone and told her she couldn’t act and had no idea why they’d hired her she said “Because I’m Dolly Parton, and they hired you to make me look like I can act.”
Dolly Parton with Keith Haring in 1985, incredible woman and supporter of LGBTQ people for decades going back to a time when few others dared.
RIP. Will never forget what Dolly told me about politicians. "I don’t think any of ‘em are trying hard enough... they worry more about their party than they do about the people. If we just do what we felt was the right thing... None of them are working from the heart." 💙
My relationship with Black voters as a public servant in Michigan started 10 years ago when I got the opportunity to work alongside Black Detroiters and Wayne County residents to rebuild Detroit's health department.
The Library is devastated to learn of the passing of Dolly Parton, a music legend and titan of children's literacy. Her Imagination Library program has earned multiple Library Literacy Awards and, in 2018, she visited us to donate its 100 millionth book to our collection and host a story time. 🦋❤️
Tonight, the Empire State Building lights will sparkle pink at 9:25 to honor Dolly Parton. A global icon, her seven-decade career touched generations. She leaves a legacy through her Dollywood Foundation and Imagination Library, providing millions of books to children.
BREAKING: Everton Blair Jr. wins runoff for Georgia’s 13th Congressional District, meaning he will be the first Black openly gay Congressman from the South. Congrats to Everton Blair Jr. on his victory.
Do you know what kind of fliers they were circulating after Jake Lang came to Michigan? KKK flyers. Hate all comes from the same place. It's up to us to unite to fight against all its forms.
We’re going to hear about how everyone loved Dolly, and that feels true. But it’s good to remember, and to her credit, that she was attacked for her AIDS activism, her vaccine advocacy, her LGBTQ+ support and even, more recently, for her reading initiatives. She ALWAYS stood firm when it mattered.
Let’s talk about Medicare for All. What would it mean for the individual American? ⬇ The day you’re born you get a card that gives you health insurance with no premium, co-pay, or deductible. Doesn’t matter if you get a job, lose a job, turn 26 or 65, get married or divorced — it's there for you.
This MRNA vaccine for cancer is seismic. On the level of penicillin or the polio vaccine.
I stand with Planned Parenthood and Birth Detroit who make sure women and families get the healthcare they need and deserve. Next up: passing Medicare for All.
When will this farce finally end? How do we tolerate the nonsense this dying rightwing party is perpetrating on the American people every hour of every day?
Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear says he's "heard absolutely nothing back from Mitch McConnell"
Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear said he hasn't heard back from Sen. Mitch McConnell following formal requests for an update on his health last month amid a weekslong hospitalization.

Trump putting himself on the black horse is an incredible bit of accidental symbolism. In Revelation, the rider of the black horse represents famine and scarcity, with basic food costing a day's wages. So apparently the AI finally generated one presidential portrait with some historical accuracy.
