More Perfect Union @moreperfectunion.bsky.social · 07/10/2026
The workers who make Dungeons & Dragons and Magic: The Gathering are unionizing. The teams behind these famous games would join United Wizards of the Coast, a union established earlier this year by Magic: The Gathering Arena developers in partnership with the Communication Workers of America.

Four images left to right of Rachel Weisz filming The Mummy 4. She's wearing a honey yellow skirt with black polka dots that drops just beneath the knee. A leather brown shirt with short sleeves and matching color belt. A bolero in a dark wood brown with patches of leather brown on the cuffs in matching color as her shirt and belt. A wide brimmed hat the same dark wood brown as her bolero with a golden hatband tied around and bowed in front. She's wearing the hat tilted with part of the brim angled down towards her right shoulder. She has on elbow length gloves, all black save for a band near the elbow of the same leather brown as her shirt and belt. She's carrying a brown handbag that looks big enough to fit a phone book. She appears to be in the same location in all four images. The first she's standing in front of black iron-wrought fencing and gray stone buildings and looking towards camera with an undefinable expression. In the second she's walking towards camera with a handheld device up to her ear her look vacant as if her attention is elsewhere like she's listening to something. In both the first and second frame there is another person in the background, in the first they look like a background actor and in the second a crew member. In the third she's on a smooth looking cobblestone walk with a set of stairs in the back. She's looking off frame left and whatever the device is she's now carrying it low in her right. Final image is left side profile and she's holding the handheld back up to her ear while looking off to her left towards frame with an amazing side-eye. One of the cameras used for filming is right behind her in this image.

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.

It's possible to scan books without "cutting" them, which literally means ripping off the spine. But why are AI companies doing this? For one, it's cheaper and faster. Also, in a case against Anthropic, a judge ruled it was NOT a copyright violation because the original had been destroyed.
