19 years ago today: Appalachian State beat #5 Michigan 34-32 at the Big House, the first FCS team ever to beat a ranked FBS opponent. Corey Lynch's blocked field goal sealed it as time expired. Still the biggest upset in college football history. #AppState #GoApp

As the sun sets over our Tennessee mountain home, we're grateful for a supporter of the Smokies who has always carried these mountains in her heart. 🌄💛Thank you, Dolly, for sharing your love for the Great Smoky Mountains with the world.

Three Voices, One Old Song, and a Nearly Perfect Moment

In 1976, on a simple stage lit by warm golden lights, Dolly Parton, Linda Ronstadt, and Emmylou Harris sat side by side. Dolly held a guitar, her blonde hair glowing under the lights. The three of them began to sing “Bury Me Under The Weeping Willow” — a classic folk song by The Carter Family.

There was no big orchestra. No special effects. Just three voices blending together so naturally that viewers almost forgot they were watching a performance. Dolly led the melody with her clear, pure tone that still carried the breath of the Appalachian mountains. Emmylou Harris added delicate high notes, while Linda Ronstadt brought depth and emotional weight. Together they created a harmony that made the already melancholic song feel both aching and graceful.

The song tells of longing for someone who has passed, and of the wish to rest beneath a weeping willow. In their voices, that old story was no longer just lyrics. It became a quiet whisper about connection, about the deep roots of American country music — music born from the land, from loss, and from simple love.

That moment was special because it showed Dolly Parton was not only the glittering star with big hair and sparkling outfits. Sitting there with a guitar, singing alongside two friends, she appeared as a keeper of tradition. She played with those signature long nails, yet the sound remained steady and true. There was no need for showmanship; talent simply shone on its own.

Years later the three women would record the celebrated album Trio. But this 1976 performance still holds a beauty of its own: the innocence, the mutual respect, and the love for old songs. They did not try to reinvent the piece. They simply let it live again through their voices.

Today, after Dolly Parton has left us, that footage feels even more precious. It reminds viewers of a genuine Dolly, an artist who always knew how to return to her roots. In the harmony of those three voices, one hears not only music, but also humility and reverence for those who came before.

Some performances make audiences applaud for technical skill. Others leave people silent because of pure feeling. This clip belongs to the second kind. Three women sat there, sang an old song, and accidentally left behind a nearly perfect moment — simple, clear, and still echoing.

Every so often I see a post from someone that didn't find an eclipse an incredible experience. They didn't seem to get the hype.

The sun turned into a black ball with glowing plasma shooting off of it. If that doesn't get you to feel something, nothing will 😆

A kid’s tantrum is often the proof you just set a real boundary.

Dr. Becky Kennedy is clear on this. When you hold a true limit for the first time, the reaction is almost always the same: big feelings. Parents usually read that explosion as failure. It is frequently the opposite. The tantrum means the boundary landed. You did the hard part.

Once you see the upset as confirmation instead of catastrophe, you stop scrambling to undo it. You can validate the feeling and still keep the line. “I know you want more TV. It’s still not happening.”

The parents who last are the ones who stop treating every meltdown as a referendum on their worth.

When Will Ferrell and Jeff Goldblum went live with SNL's "Space: The Infinite Frontier with Harry Caray" sketch, the first part was scripted and on cue cards for both actors, but halfway through, Ferrell started improv'ing insane questions and you can see Goldblum holding on for dear life answering them 😂 I forget how good this era of SNL really was

A family husky's protective instincts kicked in when a bear came running across their driveway, charging straight at a child nearby.

“You’re always wondering in the back of your head, ‘What’s gonna happen if she needs to protect us?’ And now we know,” Jeffrey Tazzara said.

So long, America🫡🇺🇸

49 days ago we landed in the USA to follow our country at the World Cup. We had no idea it would turn into the trip of a lifetime.

Thank you to everyone who followed along, and to all the people we met who made this journey even more special. We honestly don’t have the words to express how grateful we are for everything you did for us.

This trip exceeded every expectation we had. We came here with an open mind, wanting to experience as much of the country as possible. I still remember telling my friends on the flight to Atlanta that I hoped we’d get to meet a few locals on this trip. Now we’re flying home with friends all across the USA.

Before we came, we heard so many stereotypes and warnings about America. People told us about safety concerns, that they might check our social media at the border, and all kinds of other things. None of it matched our experience. This was probably the most welcoming country we’ve ever visited.

So if you have the chance to travel, do it. The world isn’t nearly as bad as the media often makes it seem. 99% of people are awesome!

I heard this quote somewhere during the World Cup, and I think it sums up our experience perfectly:

“If you want to hate the world, watch the news. If you want to love it, travel it.”

Thank you, America ❤️🇺🇸

One of my all time favorite characters. RIP Sam Neill

[Marta G. Navarro 🎙️📻 @iMeMiNe]

Nunca he olvidado, ni nunca podré olvidar, ese momento en que Sam Neill nos representó a todos los que amamos y a los amarán en las generaciones futuras a los dinosaurios. Gracias por tanto, eterno doctor Alan Grant.
