β€˜I was up all night praying’: Dolly Parton’s sister asks fans to β€˜pray with me’ Hours after the first post, Freida Parton clarified saying her sister has "been a little under the weather."

"Could you pray for my celebrity sister..."

Oh, um, sorry but no, that's not really something I'd--

"--Dolly Parton?"

Delighted to be a guest again this year at the wonderful Gamehole Con. It's one of my favorite cons and @montecookgames.com has a balcony spot for gaming, relaxing, signing books, and chatting.

With the release of Update 9.1.5, here are some of the top issues we are investigating:

❖ Changes previously made to activity difficulty have been unintentionally reverted, making some Portal activities more difficult than intended.
❖ Breaking Vex crystals in the Heliostat mission is not granting Wolfsbane intrinsics to all players in the fireteam.
❖ The Vault from Inventory function is not working when using a controller.
❖ The Whirling Ovation catalyst is not dropping as intended.

Two dozen in a population of…what? 636k? And you need National Guard? If you can’t have a few FPS officers keep the facility secure…

Ok, you MIGHT get salmonella from that sketchy chicken dude. FDA doesn’t care anymore, apparently.

you could buy a book about the horrors of an actual embodied artificial intelligence (as opposed to the horrors of "artificial intelligence", for a change!) and support local bookshops

Dear [Author],

Your book [Title] is wonderful. I had painful urination and blood in my urine for years, until I read [Title] and now there is a clear golden stream.

[Title] deserves a wider readership. My team of 5,000 cyber-turtles can post honest reviews and raise your Zoob ranking, for a modest

@femme_unapologetic:

Non-binary folk don't owe you androgyny.
Some are femme. Some are masc. Some switch it up daily. Some look like neither.
All of it is valid.
Androgyny isn't the price of admission to being non-binary. The only requirement is knowing yourself.
Stop policing bodies. Stop demanding "neutral."
Non-binary = infinite ways to exist.
Non-binary # androgyny. Mind your business.

"corrupted ideologies like transgenderism and antifa are a cancer on our culture"

they're gonna treat you like a socialist or anarchist anyway, so if you haven't yet you may as well at least consider ditching that whole capitalism thing

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) - The police chief of Nebraska's largest city acknowledged Friday that police nationwide are more likely to pull Black people out of their cars at gunpoint than other racial groups as Omaha grapples with
growing outrage over champion boxer Terence "Bud" Crawford being ordered out of his car at gunpoint only hours after the city held a
downtown celebration in his honor. "Quite frankly, that is generally a true statement. The number of stops are disproportionate. That is nationwide," Police Chief Tobb Schmaderer said at a news conference to address an internal investigation
into Crawford's traffic stop.

Postcard From Chicago: There’s an ICE Facility in My Backyard Chicago was not a war zone when Trump’s Operation Midway Blitz began. DHS and ICE have made it one.

πŸ”₯ As you may have seen, in recent days, I've been going to the Broadview ICE facility near where I live. For @vanityfair.com I wrote about those protests & the hell that the Chicago area is being put through thanks to ICE/DHS. I hope you'll read this & share it. www.vanityfair.com/news/story/c...

Distribution is THE under-reported story in book publishing (outside of the trade publications) and losing B&T is going to have untold ripple effects on the industry, small presses, and authors.
