Welp, the @mariners.com ended the season with a W, but this 2026 season, started with such high hopes after falling one game short of a league pennant and world series, has been a gigantic bust. Here's hoping they can pick up the pieces in 2027.

@gillianbrockell.com is doing amazing work. And DHS responses are completely unprofessional but remarkably on brand for an administration full of twelve year olds.

BREAKING: The Trump administration’s third-country removal policy is blocked. The First Circuit says the third-country removal final judgment from Judge Murphy is back in effect. “Consistent with this court's September 18, 2026, Judgment, the March 16, 2026, stay pending appeal is dissolved.”

Note to self: avoid British Airways wherever possible. If a divert happens, wherever they end up, the crew should at least stick around long enough to shepherd their passengers. KEF does not operate 24/7. I'm actually surprised they had immigration personnel there to process them. What a cluster.

The way I read it is California settled their lawsuit against the Ellison's merger plan on nothing more than a pinky swear. Once they folded like a cheap lawn chair, no other state really had the resources to pursue further litigation. This has no upside unless you're an Ellison or a Trump.

Maga Mikey, as speaker, gets paid $223,500 annually and enjoys lifetime benefits. Through August 31, the House has been in session 383 *hours*. In terms of full time employment (defined as an eight hour day), that translates to 48 full days, and in the case of Mikey, a salary of nearly $4,700/day

"The state Department of Transportation is looking into the incident, as well, to see how a car got on the car-free path." @wsdot.wa.gov Dudes. I've seen the pictures. The paths are missing bollards or have easy ways around them. You also need to put bollards periodically on the paths themsselves

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.
