I deeply saddened to hear the Academy of Natural Sciences museum, the oldest natural history museum in America, will be shutting its doors for good at the end of the month. A massive loss to both the scientific and local communities

maybe i haven’t been paying close enough attention but i haven’t really seen any dems campaigning on bringing food safety regulations back, feels like a slam dunk

The iconic weeping willow trees outside the Kennedy Center have been cut down by Trump.

And there it is. Netanyahu openly admits he manipulated us into his war against Iran, which he’s been trying to drag us into for the past 40 years.

Never make fun of someone if they mispronounce a word.

It means they learned it by reading.

Another day, another recall.

This time for garlic infused olive oil which wasn’t actually infused with garlic. It was infused with garlic essential oil.

Can’t believe this needs to be said but you aren’t supposed to ingest essential oils.

The Trump admin is ending 3 federal research projects responsible for researching and fighting cyclospora.

This comes directly after the largest cyclospora outbreak in US history.

Trump's EPA has approved the use of a pesticide and known carcinogen, trifludimoxazin.

The forever chemical will now be used on corn, wheat, oats, soybeans, oranges, apples, peanuts, and almonds.

This is seriously scary. CCTV footage from Gyirong Port in Tibet, China, directly opposite Nepal’s Rasuwa district. This flash flood hit here first and later caused massive havoc in Nepal. Can’t even imagine someone surviving this. Prayers for everyone affected. 🙏

[Rich Uncle Pennybags @runclepennybags]

why are so many people shooting at someone ringing their doorbell. why don't you just not answer it rather than becoming a murderer if you're an agoraphobe

Under Hegseth, rape in the Navy is apparently just party of a woman’s duties.

A judge dismissed a rape case and said it needed to be filed as worker’s compensation instead.

Rape is never part of ANY job duty.

This is what happens when rapists & pedophiles are in charge.

The doctor who delivered Dolly Parton in a one-room Tennessee cabin in 1946 was paid with a sack of cornmeal. Her father farmed other people's land and could not read or write. Eighty years later, the reading program she built in his name has mailed more than 300 million books.

She wrote "I Will Always Love You" on the same afternoon she wrote "Jolene," as a goodbye to Porter Wagoner, and released it in 1974. Elvis wanted it. The night before the session, Colonel Tom Parker called and said Presley would only record it if they got half the publishing, meaning half of everything the song ever earned. She had been in Nashville ten years by then. She said no, and cried all night. Whitney Houston cut her version in 1992, held number one for fourteen weeks, and Forbes later put Parton's royalties from it near $10 million. She put some of that money into an office complex in Nashville and called the place the house that Whitney built.

Dollywood opened in Pigeon Forge in 1986 because she wanted paychecks in the county she came from. Around 4,000 people work there now. Three million visitors come every year. The University of Tennessee put its economic impact at $1.8 billion, and it is the largest employer in Sevier County. Since 2022 the company has paid tuition, fees, and books in full for every worker from their first day, seasonal hires included.

Wildfires tore through those mountains in November 2016, killing fourteen people and destroying more than 2,400 buildings. Her foundation was handing out money within 48 hours. Every family that lost a home got $1,000 a month for six months, regardless of income. The final check was $5,000. Total delivered: $8.9 million.

In April 2020 she sent $1 million to Vanderbilt for coronavirus research. When Moderna's vaccine results ran in the New England Journal of Medicine that November, her fund appeared in the footnotes.

Carl Dean, her husband of nearly sixty years, died in March 2025. The note she wrote to fans afterward ended with the same five words she wrote for Porter Wagoner back in 1974. She died in Nashville today. Her family asked that instead of flowers, people give to the Imagination Library, which still mails 3.4 million books a month to children who will never get to meet her.

The closer residents lived to the cell tower,

The higher the number of cancer deaths.
