When someone says an event was star studded, you can think back to this, and use it as a yardstick!

Condolences to Norway on the passing of King Harald. He lived a remarkable life of service, resilience and quiet dignity. Harald spent part of his childhood in America, returning home after WW2 to become a beloved king who helped modernize the monarchy without diminishing its grace. 🇳🇴
The crime of "depriving people of democratic representation would cover: ghosts sitting in seats; gerrymandering; preventing people legally voting by paralegal means (i.e. not delivering their votes); and attempting to overturn the results of elections. Punishment: lifetime ban from public office.
Ricky Davila@therickydavila.bsky.social · 23h agoMoscow Mitch McConnell hasn’t been seen in public in over 70 days. It should be a crime to hold a public office hostage.
You have gone beyond a joke now. I know you have the mid terms coming in November. If he steals them, whats the plan? May is suggest prepair for a prolonged national strike now!;
I'm #ActuallyAutistic and a parent of a child with some kind of ND (diagnosis ongoing). And this news article chills me: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... Because I can see it being used to excuse shutting down help altogether. Convince me I'm wrong please?

The USA has a President who hasn't the remotest idea how to be a statesman. Hey, Dumpster, here's an example for you to follow.

We often focus on the influence of fake news & pernicious racist lies that were spread on Facebook & social media in order to win the EU referendum, but we should never forget the vile and disgusting race hate fomented by the Daily Mail and other right wing tabloids everyday. #r4today
The Toddler-in-Chief doesn't care, though, because he doesn't use toilet paper. Now if DEPENDS go up in price he might even notice. (Still won't care though, too rich on ill-gotten gains).

I really cannot think of a greater honor than to have the Muppets say this about you upon your passing
If MORE proof were needed, here's another gem that demonstrates Dolly Parton was on the side of the Angels.
Ricardo Autobahn@ricardoautobahn.co.uk · 3d agoThe best tribute to Dolly Parton is that she regularly and repeatedly refused to have anything to do with Piers Morgan

The United States is taking aim at Canada once again, with a crushing new set of tariffs. Ultimately, government will need to solve this. But in the same way Canadians are avoiding US alcohol, produce, and other goods, they should get off US tech products too. Luckily, I have a guide for that.

I am generally expecting to be hit with some bad actions when first I confront the day's news and prepare myself to deal with it. I was not prepared for this. I will never be as loving, as kind, as genuine as Dolly. But in her honor, I can donate to her Imagination Library. imaginationlibrary.com
I *knew* I could trust Big Bird to do the right thing.

Some people might not be aware, but it is entirely possible that without Dolly Parton we wouldn’t have had a COVID vaccine. She partly funded Moderna’s research and gave the largest individual contribution to make it all happen. Just gives you an idea of the kind of person she was.
