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.

There is a lot to say about the Nolan Odyssey movie. But one point that I think has not been emphasized enough is: this is a film about living in LA, as Nolan, my erstwhile British compatriot and age mate, has done for years. I gather it’s a strange place.

Marco Rubio justifies US attacks on Cuba on grounds its economy doesn't "work". But measured by how GDP lifts human well-being, Cuba's economy "works" surprisingly well. How you use GDP is as important as how much you produce. My take in @rabbleca : rabble.ca/economy/how-... #canlab

How to judge whether an economy “works”: GDP and living standards in Cuba
The US narrative about the Cuban economy doesn't stand-up to scrutiny when you take a look at Cuba's Gross National Income and Human Development Index.

Please take a moment to read about the absolute horror inflicted on a Tehran neighbourhood by the US/Israel in a double-tap strike against civilians. 20 people murdered. www.dropsitenews.com/p/tehran-ira...
“We were sitting here around 8:00-8:30 p.m. and suddenly there was the noise and explosion. We got up and a few people ran away. We turned around to get our belongings and we saw that blood was spraying everywhere. Someone’s hand had fallen on the floor, a head had fallen on the floor,” said Shahin, a witness who had been at the cafe and asked to be identified by first name only. “There were scalps torn off, hands severed, a few people were laying here all cut up and two people were martyred.”

“One hit and it wasn’t that bad but when the second one hit, suddenly everything exploded. The windows all shattered. Whoever had hookahs were thrown to the floor,” Shahin said. “One of my friends whom I don’t know that well he was sitting here. His hookah was in his hands until the last moment. He was severed in half. Half of him was thrown to the side. I put him back together and placed him where he was. A piece of his brain was thrown here on the floor.”

Coherent but hypocritical to the core. Greer likes the intellectual property rights and services rules and they will use every US power to coerce other countries to maintaining THOSE rules, in the name of avoiding being coerced by competitors.

Carney’s weak response to Trump’s attempt at regime change at the behest of oil corporations is predictable. When a government like Carney’s and Eby’s—which cares only about enriching fossil fuel executives—are faced with the hard choices, they’ll choose corporate power over working people. #bcpoli
