Happy Dolly Parton Day, for those who celebrate!

Did the trump curse strike again tonight with Dart?

Here's a French video (with English subtitles) about what would happen if the far-right racists got their way and all foreigners and people of colour were forced to leave.

So, who's left? With Betty and Dolly now gone, Tim and Fred (Rogers)...who is left to be a bright spot in the world?

alysonwelborn is a spoken word artist on TT. She has poured her soul into this #CupOfJoe. Drink it in. You’ll be better for it.

Don’t know who wrote this — it was posted on Instagram by “Warpaint Journal” in April 2025 — but it’s making the rounds today and is pretty great. I dream of this too ❤️

What is the test for low-T...if you are not an absolute DICK of a human? Actually, it would be hilarious if he get tested and was low-T (it would not surprise me at all) www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Hey @govpritzker.illinois.gov, don't spend any of my tax dollars to make the Bears owners richer. They want a stadium, let them pay for it, because they have the money and can get financing from banks. MY tax dollars should be going to schools, infrastructure, and people in need.

The BIGGEST winners in all this are the taxpayers of Chicago, Cook county and IL. The Bears owners could finance the stadium by themselves, but want the taxpayers to do it for them. wgntv.com/news/chicago...

WTF is happening in the #Habs #Canes game? The Canadians are on absolute FIRE! #GoHabs

They will replace oil bought at $65/bbl with oil bought at $125/bbl! SO much winning! What a business man! www.huffpost.com/entry/latest... Biden did the reverse...sold at $90 and bought at $50. What a rube!

As I have said here before every TRUE Buffalo Sabres fan knows BOTH anthems...proven true last night! www.nhl.com/news/buffalo...

Trump's quote of "a whole civilization dying tonight" could be prophetic as the Oracle at Delphi telling King Croesus that he would "destroy a great empire" if he attacked Persia. The empire he destroyed ended up being his own, Lydian, empire. Hmm..Shitler should be forewarned.

Did Howard Wolowitz design and build their toilet? #BBT www.huffpost.com/entry/nasa-a...

WOW...just saw an INCREDIBLY shitty ad about the IL credit card law. The ad implied the tipped workers will suffer if the law is not overturned. In fact the workers will BENEFIT and the BANKS will lose on the swipe fees on the tipped portion. capitolnewsillinois.com/news/in-a-vi...

Costco in Niles, IL has gas for $3.35. Two weeks ago I filled up at $2.59. Can't WAIT for this increase to trickle down to groceries. But, hey, at least they aren't talking about the Epstein files as much, amirite?

It’s time for a "top vs. bottom" politics. James Talarico is the former teacher and seminarian fighting to fix our broken system. From capping insulin costs to protecting public schools, he’s building a "politics of love" to unite all Texans. Unite in support of @jamestalarico.bsky.social!

Here is ANOTHER example of corporate welfare, caused and supported by huge corporations and monopolies. Breakup Cargill, ADM, Bayer, etc. In addition, more farmers should move to other farming systems, rather than just commodity-based row-crop monocultures. www.youtube.com/watch?v=cl02...

As a 50+ years @sabres.com fan, I can say that I am VERY disappointed that #TageThompson has decided to attend the WH and SOTU after the comments were made in the locker room after the game. That was an insult to the women's team, and the men's team should have shown their support for them.

I like U.S. Senate candidates who don’t cut and paste their policies from other candidates’ websites from other states. This rundown of Jasmine Crockett’s original, Texas specific policies is exactly what doing your own homework actually looks like.

Lost a LOT of respect for the men's US hockey team. After a great game, they allowed a wanna-be into the locker room, and THEN joked with Shitler about the women's team. COMPLETELY UNCOOL. If the team attends the WH when they return, I will be done with hockey in the US.

Disappointed, but the Canadians have NO reason to hang their heads. They played a great game. It was just a matter of someone had to win, and it was just the luck of that play.

HOLY SHIT...what a GREAT game! Jack Hughes with missing teeth and a WIN! BOTH teams deserve that gold...it was a GREAT game!

Guessing Jack Hughes won't miss a shift in THIS game, even with two cracked teeth. #Olympics #Hockey

Anybody's game at this point. It will be just someone getting lucky or a mistake by someone. #Olympic #Hockey

The ice has definitely tilted in the Canadian's direction in this game #Olympics #Hockey

No matter who wins...this is a GREAT game. #Olympics #Hockey

The US teams look better than the Canadians, crisper passing and anticipation. Canada looks like they just started playing with each other.

Watching the gold medal match for the men's #Olympic #Hockey is like watching an NHL All Star game, but where they are REALLY trying.

Volkswagen workers are voting today on their first-ever union contract. Let’s make history.

how do you "fire" a CG pilot? Was he discharged from the service?

I am curious if the viewer numbers for the Super Bowl can be separated into the game time and the halftime show. See if there was a difference in the viewers.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

This may be my favorite television commercial ever, from legendary Scandinavian Airlines @flysas.com. This is the world how I imagine it, this is the world I want to live in. 🙏🏼🌍🕊️ #PeaceOnEarth

Gotta love a goalie fight #NHL @bostonbruins.bsky.social @tblightningnhl.bsky.social

At least you will retire with your honor intact. NOTHING can replace that.
