In whatever situation you ever find yourself, ask yourself, “What would Dolly do?”

Is Bluesky notifications misfiring? Suddenly, every notification I have is showing as new.

I was sitting here thinking that the TN primary is tomorrow and I can be done with a lot of these stupid GOP ads on tv. But no, oh no. TN’s primary isn’t until Thursday. Thursday. Who the fuck has a primary on a Thursday? Ah yes, bass-ackward Tennessee.

“And moods that take me and erase me, And I’m painted black” A lyric that always, always makes me cry.

With broken hearts we announce the passing of Glen Hansard in the early hours of this morning. We are still dealing with the shock of it all, so we kindly ask that the privacy of Glen’s family, colleagues and friends is respected at this difficult time. . Photo by Mikolaj Rotowski

So, Marsha Blackburn says she wants to kick China out of TN. A state senator running for reelection says that he already did that. Soooooo, which is it?

I live in Tennessee so right now, we’re getting way too many GOP commercials. In none of these commercials do the candidates talk about anything even remotely relating to what everyday Tennesseans need. Nothing about lowering costs, better education, better healthcare. All of which TN ranks

I ordered my usual Jimmy John’s sandwich without lettuce today. Not taking that chance right now.

#ETTD including Argentina, apparently. Congrats, Spain! 🇪🇸

I discovered today that my husband is pro data centers. I may have to let him go….

Inmate Number P01135809 wants you to believe he won the 2020 election. Like this post 11,780 times if you’re voting blue. #LoserTrumpsElectionLies

Even with a TeleHealth appointment first thing in the morning, your doctor is still late. 🙄

What’s with all these concert venues being SRO now? I’m too old to stand for 2 hours.

Hey, Marsha. Annihilating fortune cookies in your commercials will not win us over! Those were probably some damn good fortune cookies. And for reals, China is the least of our worries right now. Telling us you’re going to stop China seems to be your only arrow.

I’ve decided that when I retire and someone, someday, asks me what career I had, I’m going to reply “Professional Peon”. Since I was 25, I’ve worked in offices as an admin assistant (or whatever fluffy title they tried to bestow upon me to sound better.)

A picture is still worth a thousand words. Hand this photographer their Pulitzer now.

What a picture from cheney orr of @reuters.com — a Black woman on a train surrounded by masked white supremacists, emboldened in Trump’s America. One for the history books.

The neighborhood behind us has started in with the fireworks. I hope they all lose a thumb.

I went to see Supergirl because my husband wanted to see it. Wanted to judge it for ourselves. Yep, just as bad as people are saying. Should have just waited for streaming.

I’m not manipulated by influencers on social media. Excuse me while I order this Korean haircare product I saw on a reel…

Trump supporters: I block you for the same reason I scrape dog shit off my shoes. Not because I'm "afraid" of dog shit, but because dog shit has no inherent value, creates a huge mess, and makes everything smell like dog shit. To be clear, in this analogy, you are dog shit.

In 1974, Elvis wanted to record Dolly Parton's "I Will Always Love You." The catch: hand over half the publishing. She said no to the King and cried all night. Decades later Whitney Houston covered it, and Dolly kept every cent. Here's the lesson every business should know: zurl.co/jJIZr

I’m low-key disappointed that I did not become a vampire this past Saturday.

Chris@reclaimingchris.bsky.social · 3mo ago

I had a weird dream last night. In that dream, a little old lady comes up to me and says, “Congratulations! You’re going to become a vampire!” Me: “What? When?” She thinks a minute and says, “On Chris Evans’ birthday.” So you know, watch out world after June 13th.

So I thought I’d check the live feed, not expecting anything to happen after dark. Oh no, no no. The toddler-in-chief is having this done during the evening when he thinks no one will watch. Well, well. Workers are arriving and scaling the scaffolding now. Have a watch!

NEWS: Judge REJECTS last minute attempt to keep Trump’s name on the Kennedy Center. The name is expected to be torn down in the coming hours. Watch our live feed here: www.youtube.com/live/1_GNL3Y...

Appeal denied! Give yourself a good time this afternoon and watch the orange shit-stain’s name come off this beautiful building! At this time, scaffolding is up to his name, but nothing happening yet. Making the Kennedy Center great again!

Today is the court-ordered deadline to remove President Donald Trump's name from the Kennedy Center.  Trump's handpicked Kennedy Center board has filed a last-minute appeal to the order, but we are live for you to see it if the appeal is rejected. LIVE FOOTAGE HERE: www.youtube.com/live/aAhm880...

Buttigieg: We didn't know it, but we've all been trusting our lives to the restraint of whoever the president might be. And now we have a president who is completely unrestrained. And so the only answer to that is a functioning Congress. It turns out we do not have a functioning Congress.

RASKIN: Dr King, you're asserting a lot of things under oath, and you haven't brought the evidence with you KING: I can get some for ya

“Trust me, bro” is their only evidence.

RAJU: But what evidence is there to prove the California election is rigged? MIKE JOHNSON: Look, some of these efforts are so diabolical and so far upstream it's impossible to prove. But I think everybody knows instinctively that something is wrong here.

Uh, sir. This is a Trump administration.

Sen. Roger Marshall suggests Biden is responsible for high fertilizer costs and adds, "it's time to stop relying on the Trump administration who by the way, I think has done more for rural America than any administration has ever done"

Wow. They have no clue what Americans try to live on every year.

Please let Congress make money trading on inside info while Americans struggle y’all

My doctor ordered an ultrasound for my liver. Said she’s concerned since my alkaline levels have been high for years. The test will cost me $300. $300 that I don’t have to spend on an ultrasound. This is the American healthcare system. #MedicareforAll
