The best tribute to Dolly Parton is that she regularly and repeatedly refused to have anything to do with Piers Morgan

Mamdani, for all of his flaws, pushed a quality shift and forced the contradiction between the Soc-Dems and Clinton-Dems into the light. This has put the donors in to panic mode and now they are openly engaging in political civil war.

At this point there is no other interpretation than that Democrats are trying to sink Abdul's candidacy

So the people launching a new Twitter under the name Twitter launched their thing so I signed up. Turns out they have an AI scanning tweets for "truth" and it currently has no idea what it's doing. Posted something innocuous about Star Wars Zero Company and it essentially blocked it from all feeds.

People consistently argue more surveillance will reduce policing but we’re just not seeing that actually manifest on the ground, instead we get this.

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.”

Telegram having "premium stickers" for some reason reminded me of when you could buy ringtones by sending an SMS to some random number and not only would you pay for the ringtone but you'd also be locked into some random €5 a month (I think some even were weekly?) subscription :alice_laugh:

Didn't know this until today but Dolly Parton had a transsexual man named Jason Pirro work as her Hollywood chauffeur in the 1980s, per an interview he gave to The Sun in 1990. "Dolly has been good to me...Dolly knows all about me."

Dolly patron was an early aids advocate. She had a trans man chauffeur in the 80s She helped fight for drag artists rights and she helped kids read including books that make queer kids feel accepted. This spits in the face of her legacy of activism. Fuck the BBC.

How the BBC is reporting Dolly Parton's passing.

Shit, fuck, ass, death, kill, sex, I refuse to TikTok-ify my content!

her very existence was an indisputable reminder of how many things framed as inevitabilities were actually just someone’s choice. there actually is enough money for everything. the wealthy could fully fund literacy and public health and the arts and child welfare. they just won’t

By almost any measure Dolly embodied "the American Dream." Some people will come from nothing and make it big and consider the problem now solved. Others will remember that there are still others with nothing and use what they have to help.

FYI the HUGE number of AI slop at GamesCom's opening night live is not a sign that the industry has normalized AI. It's a ploy to make you believe that. These games are all by the same 3 or 4 publishers. This is a concerted effort to make consumers accept AI.

Cleaned up this Dolly sketch from a few years ago, mostly to make her hair twice as big, because she deserves it.
