The Library is devastated to learn of the passing of Dolly Parton, a music legend and titan of children's literacy. Her Imagination Library program has earned multiple Library Literacy Awards and, in 2018, she visited us to donate its 100 millionth book to our collection and host a story time. 🦋❤️

@thehighsign.bsky.social thank you for all the wonderful Gabfest memories. I’ve been a @slate.com reader since the 1990’s and listened to the Culture Gabfest for every one of your 18 years. You opened my mind, introduced me to art, and genuinely were one the best parasocial friends groups ever.

Musk says not a single person has died due to him axing USAID. Sadly, part of my job involves tracking aid spending. So here’s a thread with just some of the people who lost their lives because of USAID cuts

Fatherhood is equal parts joy, chaos, pride, worry, laughter, and love. I wouldn’t trade a minute of it. Grateful for my kids, my family, and the privilege of being called Dad. Happy Father’s Day to all the fathers out there doing their best every day.

I had so much fun hanging with @kelseyhightower.com last week at our .NEXT conference. As always, spending time with him means laughing, learning, and trying to gather as many pearls of wisdom as possible.

Kelsey Hightower and I are sitting on a stage in conversation; he is looking at the audience and smiling, and I am laughing and looking at him.

It’s inaccurate to say Mario is brave and Luigi is cowardly Luigi is afraid of death, so he runs away from danger. Mario is afraid of living, so he runs towards death. Both brothers are cowards in their own way

“I am political,” Ms. Rachel told me of her new effort to free kids from ICE detention. “It’s political to believe that children are worthy of love … and that our care shouldn’t stop at what we look like, our family, at our religion, at a border. Mr. Rogers was very political.”

The execution of Alex Pretti is playing so badly because you can look at his actions and life story - his last act was helping, boy scout, athlete, health care worker to veterans - and compare those to the men who killed him and know which you would want to be your son, brother, father, uncle.

A little-known aspect of the Underground Railroad was that it involved an intricate and secret network of white people running safe houses and transportation--at a time when slavecatchers roamed the "free" states looking for runaways.

Ryan Coogler explains why he declined the invitation to join the Academy www.nytimes.com/2025/12/10/m...

Still, there is nuance to all the awards hype. Though “Sinners” looks to be a major Oscar player, that voting body has never nominated Jordan for his acting or Coogler for his directing — indeed, no Black filmmaker has ever won in the latter category. Asked to join the academy in 2016, Coogler declined the invitation.

“It’s not out of animosity,” he told me, noting that he’s stretched thin with commitments to his film school and unions. “And I’m not good at judging things, bro. The act of ‘Hey, pick the best thing’ is very stressful for me, even when there’s no stakes involved.”

He is more drawn to the everyday elements of his career than to the glamorous ballrooms. “People see the tuxedo, they see the red carpet, but it’s real blue-collar folks making these movies happen,” Coogler said, adding that he truly fell in love with filmmaking once he understood that, at its core, it’s a job.
