Zohran Mamdani "was the only senior elected official who stayed at the 9/11 memorial ceremony at the WTC until the end…Vance was the first to leave the VIP area, and other elected officials began 'schmoozing.'"

They are shutting down -The Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University - in 30 days or less. Let Drexel University know you want to keep it. It's closing because of funding cuts (DOGE). Maybe we could get a rich person to take it over. Why don't rich people today do museums and libraries :(

I post a lot of stories about cops using Flock to stalk former or current partners, but don't forget that cops also use Flock to intimidate and harass people who try to hold them accountable.
Officers illegally stopped, detained, and arrested a Navy veteran after he lawfully recorded a traffic stop. Then they tracked him for weeks using Flock Safety cameras. reason.com/2026/09/02/w...
Wisconsin cops used Flock over 100 times to track a Navy veteran after he lawfully recorded a traffic stop
A lawsuit claims the Waukesha County Sheriff’s Office used the cameras in retaliation against the vet for exercising his First Amendment right.

Dolly Parton's passing is effortlessly proving that if you spend your life being nice and kind and generous instead of mean and cruel and selfish, then apologists for mean cruel selfish bullies won't have to go around scolding people for cheering when you die, because there will be no cheering.

I used to walk past a quote from her every day in one of the most unlikely places — the Office of Naval Intelligence. The quote:
“If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, and become more, you are a leader.”
She did and she was.
The story of how it got there is kinda surreal.

every billionaire & tech mogul, they all want to be adored & celebrated without doing the things Dolly did with a fraction of the power & money. What she had, she gave away. I'm sure she was comfortable (& that's good!). But she just relentlessly helped. It's not that difficult. Love. Care. Help. 💚🌸

I do think it’s whorephobia that of all the Dolly tributes I’ve seen on TV tonight, not single one of them has mentioned how she starred in a movie called “The Best Little WHOREHOUSE in Texas” where she lovingly and respectfully portrayed a whorehouse madame.

That is thee most wholesome thing. She was the boob fairy incarnate.
my wife has a friend who sent Dolly Parton a painting she made & a letter explaining how much Dolly's music meant to her while she was transitioning. Dolly responded to it personally & paid for her top surgery. Sounds like an urban legend but it's real. I think we're going to more stories like this.
