Weird Al and Dolly Parton are different aspects of the same ethos. Both are prolific, great, genre-defining musicians iconic for intentionally playful, exaggerated personas but universally loved for their authenticity (& kindness). All while working for decades AND maintaining a sense of privacy.

Bedtime on day TWO of the 2026 United States of Science. 26 States have all their bubbles filled, 25 to GO (DC closed). A number of states could be closed with a strong breeze, including Idaho (4), Iowa (4), Hawaii (5), and Colorado (5). CA is closing in! Fill bubbles: givebutter.com/USS2026

I have no idea what's going on with Mitch McConnell, but the phrase "rigor tortoise" just popped into my brain and I had to get it out. Thank you for your patience and my sincere apologies.

I spoke to Mitch McConnell for twenty minutes this morning. And he said Ain't nothing gonna break my stride Nobody gonna slow me down Oh no I got to keep on moving Ain't nothing gonna break-a my stride I'm running And I won't touch ground Oh no I got to keep on moving

Mitch McConnell was in Congress during the Terri Schiavo case, so in a way it does feel like an act of delayed karmic justice if it turns out that it is in fact his turn to have the GOP puppet his corpse around to score political points rather than allowing him a peaceful exit with some dignity

Incredible. They just asked everyone at the Boston Pops show to stand for a patriotic singalong and then started singing Neil Diamonds AMERICA, the most pro-immigrant anthem ever written. A+ no notes.

Dolly Parton’s message thanking Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce for their $2 million donation to her Imagination Library! “I'm blown away and overjoyed with that gratitude. Now, it's evident that you two have made giving back a key part of your lives.”
