From the Empire State Building Observation Deck: Tonight, the Empire State Building tower lights will turn to a pink sparkle at 9:25 to honor the late Dolly Parton.
You can’t convince me that the universe isn’t cold and heartless place when it takes Dolly and leaves us with *him*. Fuck you universe.

Writing scripts for @hcrichardson.bsky.social’s @250to250.bsky.social project has been a career highlight for me. It’s been an honor to be involved in this important project. I’m proud of this script I wrote about signing of the Declaration of Independence. Heather’s reading makes it even better!
@hcrichardson.bsky.social is an award-winning historian and the author of Letters from an American. Richardson revisits the Declaration of Independence and the principles of equality and self-government that set America on the road to becoming "the last, best hope of Earth." #WeAreAmerica250

Waiting on @hcrichardson.bsky.social & @jbf1755.bsky.social Saturday morning chat.....I think. It's Saturday, right?
Exciting times we live in. No idea if I’m going to die from a preventable disease, preventable bacteria in food, a preventable nuclear war, a preventable famine, or the Earth becoming uninhabitable, which some people are actively exacerbating. Truly exciting times.
📌It's amazing how little attention is being paid to how expensive everything is right now. That's all we heard about from 2020-2024.

"(Graham) should instead be remembered for using his power to bow and scrape, to change his political colors, largely if not solely in service to himself."
New in PN: Lindsey Graham and the rot of modern conservatism "Graham died a coward. From Gingrich to Trump, he embodied the movement-to-racket transformation of the GOP. Has America ever seen a capitulation so self-abnegating as his conversion from snarling Trump critic into swooning cheerleader?"
They need to know that we will remember what they did.
