@Gerashchenko_en Hopefully a positive sign.

I came face to face with Ratko Mladić in 1993 and today am reflecting on that time. We were brought up in the era of never again, and again was happening in Europe and the West. Democracies were doing nothing to stop what was happening in Bosnia. His death reminds me not just of the disaster that befell the West and Europe throughout the 90s, but reminds us also, this is happening again. Russia is trying to do the same thing in Europe. And it reminds me that we, the journalists, did our jobs. We kept this horror in everybody's sight in technicolor live television at the end of the 20th century, so that nobody could say we didn't know. I am proud of all the journalists who covered these crimes in real time and didn't let the West turn away, and built the ledger of evidence and accountability.

@CatholicArena He’s the Vaticans top diplomat. Wonder if there’s any coincidence he’s visiting Moscow the same week that CIA director Ratcliffe visited.

General Bone Spurs, the arch coward who fraudulently avoided military service, is now your Commander in Chief of AI slop bullshit.

@Overthehillprop Reading between the lines I fear we’ll be drawing a line through 26/27. Just hope he makes a full recovery however long it takes. He’s an unbeatable talent.

[William Coleman @wjc271]

@RuaidhriOC This is very very bad news.
🙏 he’s ok long term.

Yet again, "Business, Economic and Social Studies" in TCD comes in at a whooping 567 points. Its basically a social club for kids from the leafiest of leafy suburbs.

"European Studies" comes in a close 2nd on 565.

These are equivalent points levels for Pharmacy and Engineering.

@joshthetree_ Long time fan here
It’s just a song I could never warm to.

Think of all the people with more money and power than Dolly Parton who haven’t done a fraction of the good she did for the world. It’s not because they don’t have the means or opportunity, it’s just because they don’t want to.

[Empire State Building Observation Deck @EmpireStateBldg]

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 💖

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.
