This is the funniest thing I've seen today, possibly ever

Funny enough, I just got to a Seattle-focused section in Better Buses, Better Cities about the organizational overhaul of SDOT and King County Metro.

Here's the official announcement of Parton's passing from her reps, along with the request that in lieu of flowers, the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at www.imaginationlibrary.com
NASHVILLE, TN (August 25, 2026) – Global icon and humanitarian, Dolly Parton, known to the world as a beloved singer, songwriter, philanthropist, actress, playwright, and author died peacefully today in Nashville, Tennessee. She was 80 years old.

 

Dolly is preceded in death by her beloved husband of 59 years Carl Thomas Dean (1942 – 2025), her mother Avie Lee Caroline Owens (1923 – 2003), and father, Robert Lee Parton, Sr. (1921 – 2000). 

 

A rhinestone life that shone bright enough for the world to see, Dolly will forever stand as an inspiration not only through her timeless music and prolific songwriting, but also her wit, warmth, and kindness that made us all feel like family. Dolly Parton’s legacy is one of love, compassion, and resilience. With a seven-decade career, she inspired multiple generations of artists and fans with her music and an unwavering commitment to making the world a better place. Her songs will continue to resonate with people of all ages, and her philanthropic work will have a lasting impact.

 

At Dolly’s request, a small, private service will be held for immediate family. Dolly’s fans and friends from around the world are encouraged to pay tribute to Dolly on social media by tagging @DollyParton or by leaving a message at www.dollyparton.com.         

 

In lieu of flowers the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at www.imaginationlibrary.com.

Genuinely don't care about this debate, but isn't "this platform is dying and X is growing" a claim?

The Score was what I thought of first. I started with Comeback, which I think worked well.

Have priced a new battery?

And I keep two batteries, because I coordinated the mower and the trimmer.

Well, all of my adult yard houses have had small yards, so lesser power doesn't bother me. I used a reel mower for my first two houses.

No way. I loathe gas mowers.

Tune in every Monday to find a new Ecology Bingo Card that you can do over the week. Take a screenshot, try to get all the squares in a week’s time, replay to this thread with how many you got and/or if you saw anything cool that is ecology related!

In southern cities, I think there's a threshold of how easy it is to travel without a car (50% of trips seems too low. 80% of trips? 95%). And a threshold where lenders stop requiring as much parking. Maybe once we hit those broadly, we start seeing positive feedback loops?

In my mind, that was driven by Gremlins and Temple of Doom, so I figured ROTJ followed, but it preceded those by a year, so maybe it led.

My hunch is that you had a set of filmmakers (or maybe just Spielberg and Lucas) who were a little bored with family friendliness and wanted to push boundaries to see how much of the gory comics they grew up with they could get into a modern movie. And what we wound up with was PG-13.

Because I can tell y’all need some serious distraction: I’ve dropped the ebook price for the first of Richard Stark’s Parker novels, The Hunter, to $2.99. Buy it direct below, or from any major ebook retailer. You won’t regret it.

I believe gross rent is the standard measure when using census data. www.census.gov/data/tables/...

These Historical Census of Housing Tables: Gross Rents tables are from the Decennial Census.

I think that bar chart is comparing metro areas, so it wouldn't be affected by weird jurisdiction boundaries.

Inflection points between rental affordability and homelessness levels might get you there. dennisculhane.com?article=infl... The math is a little beyond me this morning. Only associational, not a mechanisms paper, I think.

The worst are days when you can't quite get the pangram and so you just put different parts of words together and then you get it, but you're also like -- that's not a word!

The way that's always been useful for me to think about it is that housing explains what areas have high homelessness, but that individual factors like you're identifying determine who in those areas may become homeless.

The Limey is definitely what I rewatch the most. But Schizopolis will always have a special place in my heart. I just can't afford to pay full theater price every time I watch it.
