The best tribute to Dolly Parton is that she regularly and repeatedly refused to have anything to do with Piers Morgan

RIP Dolly Parton.

Never met her, never interviewed her (despite decades of unrequited requests) but thought she was utterly fabulous in every way.

When people say they’re anti-AI, they’re clearly talking about generative AI in the arts and LLM slop that C-Suite jackoffs want to use to replace them. You know this. I know this. Everyone knows this. So the “then don’t use spellcheck if you hate AI” talking point is disingenuous horseshit.

Choose Norway. Choose Haaland. Choose Ødegaard. Choose Viking spirit. Choose salmon. Choose fjords. Choose the northern lights. Choose red, white and blue. Choose anyone but England. Choose staying up until full time. Choose celebrating every Norwegian goal like Scotland scored it.

David Pocock pauses, overcome with emotion, while detailing UN’s horrific findings against Israel “IDF has now killed 20,000 Palestinian children” “…deliberately shot at children’s limbs…as a twisted game of target practice”😔 Barbaric & sickening. This is our ally?

Just need everyone to know that the Belgium men's soccer team has new jerseys based on the art of Rene Magritte and this is the official photo shoot

The car I fear I have driven for the last time is the Audi RSQ8. Ridiculous in almost every way, but still one of the greats. Lovely shots by @blakecurrall.bsky.social, too. theredline.com.au/2026-audi-rs...

Audi's chunky boi twin-turbo V8 is far more fun than it should be but remains one of my favourite ever cars. Largely because it's brilliant.
