Just did a quick look around and I don't see very many headlines about the President of the US making people pledge allegiance to him personally while telling everyone to commit election fraud and "cheat like hell" to support his party.
Seems like it should be a story?

Trump: "Please right your right hand. I pledge to the greatest president in the history of the United States. That loves us so much he can't even breath. That I will go out with my family, my friends, I'll do it any way - I don't care if I'm registered or not, I'm going to try to cheat like hell..."

This lifelong hero of mine is the epitome of empathy, decency, kindness, compassion, and class. All the things the Pedo-in-chief despises. We would do well to remember the Neighborhood we grew up in on PBS. I miss you, Mr. Rogers.
One of the best acceptance speeches I've ever heard, given by FRED ROGERS upon receiving his Lifetime Achievement Award at the 1997 Emmy's.
Beautiful stuff.

Bay Area friends: A friend found these small kittens behind a gas station and we've been trying to find them a home for almost two months. For now, they live in a small bathroom. Would you consider adopting? They are vaxxed, neutered, and incredibly affectionate. Please help!

I think another lesson to take from the loss of both Dolly and Tim Curry is that neither of them took themselves seriously but they took the work dead serious
that's the most important thing
pour all of yourself into the craft but have fun and don't get an ego.
