I promise you this is the coolest thing you’ll see today.

A year ago, Florida State player Ethan Pritchard was shot and told he’d never walk or talk again. Before tonight’s game, he led FSU out of the tunnel.

Incredible.

If you do a ‘Women of Country’ show, you simply MUST close with the one, the only, the incomparable, @DollyParton.

BTW, Your signature looks GREAT on Bobby Bowden Field. ♥️💛🦋

Tonight, the Empire State Building tower lights will turn to a pink sparkle at 9:25 to honor the late Dolly Parton.

Dolly was a global cultural icon whose seven-decade career reached generations of fans. Beyond entertainment, Dolly leaves a significant philanthropic legacy through the Dollywood Foundation and Imagination Library, which has provided hundreds of millions of books to children worldwide.

At Nine-Two-Five tonight, we celebrate her and her legacy 💖

Every preseason, Mike Norvell visits an FSU Marching Chiefs practice, gives them a pep talk and tells them how much they mean to the football team.

This time, Norvell had the Chiefs come to football practice.

Very cool.

🍀🍀☮️Today, Day 108... the moment that touches the soul. 108 days, 2,300 miles, every single step filled with pain, freezing cold, snow, injuries... yet one unwavering voice: peace.
Starting from Fort Worth, Texas, crossing the Chain Bridge this morning, they finally stepped into Washington, D.C. Those saffron-robed monks, with Aloka the Peace Dog right by their side... it's as if they're embracing the whole world.Imagine this: waking up every single morning for over three months, walking for just one thing—peace. No fame, no money, no show. Just carrying the message from heart to heart that compassion is alive, that nonviolence never gives up.Tears come to the eyes thinking about it... how thousands lined the roads, homes opened, hands joined in support. And today, as they reach the Lincoln Memorial tomorrow for the closing, it feels like a small dream of ours is coming true—that peace isn't just words; it's walked, step by step.Thank you, Venerable Bhikkhu Pannakara and all the monks.
You've reminded us: without inner peace, nothing outside changes.
Every step you've taken has lit a tiny light in our hearts.May peace bloom in every heart, one step at a time.
Not just today... but every day. Let the Walk for Peace live on in our lives. 🕊🕊 #WalkForPeace #Day108 #PeaceWithin #AlokaThePeaceDog 💙💙 #walk_for_peace #WalkForPeace #AlokathePeaceDog🌿🪷

The “peace monks” who have been walking 108 days, starting in Texas, arrived in DC today. The sun came out. So did a lot of people tired of the ugliness.
