Tim Curry and Dolly Parton have taught us not only that you should be bigger, weirder, gayer, and freakier, but also that those qualities are what people will love about you. The things that make you strange and amazing are the things that will resonate with other strange and amazing people

There are two good ways to act with the Muppets. Either you take the Michael Cain approach and pretend you are working with a professional troupe from the West End. Or the Tim Curry approach where you pretend you yourself are also a Muppet. RIP

Dolly Parton used her gift for music to highlight the challenges of poverty, inequality, and struggle in ways that uplifted and inspired working people. “And I told 'em all the story / Momma told me while she sewed / And how my coat of many colors / Was worth more than all their clothes”

AI placeholders? I'm out. AI art? I'm out. AI graphics? I'm out. AI written story? I'm out. AI voices? I'm out.

I’d feel extremely safe on this flight because I already know they had to work twice as hard, be twice as good and make half as many mistakes just to get into those seats. Black women make up less than 1% of professional pilots. Yeah, I’d sleep good on this flight. ✈️

Don't watch ex-MAGA creators. Not Candace Owen, not Tucker Carlson, not Megyn Kelly, not Michael Cohen, Dan Bongino or that NeverWoke guy. None of them. They're only changing their tunes because they're losing viewers, They're still the same awful people they always were.

The fact that the same Taylor Farms products sold at Walmart are packaged under different names and sold at Whole Foods proves that Jeff Bezos is scamming you into thinking you get superior produce a his far more pricey Whole Foods.
