I think every bathroom in every hospital I have visited has the direction of the “Lock” lever *backwards*. The bolt goes left when the lever goes right, in this case. They are mostly labeled, as it is here, indicating to me that this is confusing for people and requires clarification. Why?
Hospital bathroom door lock with the “lock” position on the lock lever pointing away from the latch.

Very saddened to say I won’t be able to headline Tim Pool’s student event in Chicago this week. I unfortunately have other plans.
Hi Katherine,
Timcast Media is partnering with the Chicago Thinker to host a student event in Chicago on October 9 at 4:00 PM.
The event will feature a one-on-one conversation with Tim Pool followed by a live student Q&A. To create a dynamic and balanced dialogue, we are specifically seeking a featured guest to represent a left-leaning perspective.
Timcast Media will fully cover and arrange all travel and accommodations.
Thank you in advance for your consideration.
Sincerely,
[REDACTED]

Hi Lisa,
Sorry, I'll be too busy slamming my hand in a car door that day to talk with Tim. Hope you understand.
Kat

Huh. Minnesota. Given that I grew up in western South Dakota but have lived my adult life in Boston, kinda makes sense. I for sure have shifted how I say root, roof, Mary, merry, and marry and I say soda now but I grew up saying pop.

When your timeline is filled with queer folks and brown/Black people singing the praises of and loudly mourning a 1940s-Tennessee-born white Boomer lady, welp. She was pretty goddamn extraordinary, you can assume.

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.

One “occupational hazard” of doing so many time-based queries (events, ranges, etc.) is that constructing a sentence in which I need to, at an unknown point in the future, postpone an appointment for another unspecified time, because I won’t know my availability until the first time occurs. 1/2

As a 59 year old man with two sons, I think it is fortunate that no one ever accused me of “babysitting” my own children. Fortunate for them. Because I would have lost it.

This meme is funny, but has a kernel of truth: Mitch would absolutely have been in favor of using his passing for political purposes. He may have in fact left written instructions to do exactly what they are doing. Further evidence he isn’t with us anymore is how incompetently it’s being conducted.
