Dolly actively rejected the male gaze at a time when few women in entertainment did. Especially in the 80s, people tried to shame her for it. "You could be so pretty." Dolly said I know men don't find this attractive, I don't care, I don't look the way I look for men. 🤷🏼‍♀️ An absolute fucking icon.

Reminder that, in recent days, children have rallied and protested for their freedom inside an ICE detention center where water has been described as "putrid" and meals reportedly contain “bugs,” dirt, and debris. This is where the kidnapped 5-year-old Liam Ramos is being held.

The "outside agitator" narrative pre-dates the Civil Rights Movement as well. It was supposedly outside agitators who were responsible for filling the otherwise docile and grateful slaves' heads with all that crazy talk of freedom, causing drapetomania.

He's talking about a cognitive test for dementia.
A black-and-white scanned form titled “Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), Version 7.1 Original Version.” At the top are blank fields for name, education, date of birth, sex, date, and points. The first section shows a trail-making exercise with circles labeled 1 to 5 and letters A to E connected by dashed arrows. Next to it is an outline cube to be copied, and a box titled “Draw CLOCK (Ten past eleven)” with scoring checkboxes for contour, numbers, and hands. Below is a “Naming” section illustrated with three animals: a lion, a rhinoceros, and a camel, each with an empty checkbox underneath. The “Memory” section lists five words to be recalled—FACE, VELVET, CHURCH, DAISY, RED—with spaces for two trials. An “Attention” section includes repeating digits forward and backward, tapping on the letter A in a letter sequence, and performing serial 7 subtraction starting at 100. The “Language” section has two sentences to repeat and a fluency task asking for words beginning with the letter F. The “Abstraction” section asks for similarities between pairs: train-bicycle and watch-ruler. A “Delayed Recall” section again lists the five memory words, with spaces for recall and category/multiple choice cues. The “Orientation” section has blanks for date, month, year, day, place, and city. At the bottom is copyright by Z. Nasreddine MD, scoring ranges (Normal ≥ 26/30), and an area for the administrator.

Screenshot of a google search of "Brittney Sykes partner" in which Google's AI overview replies: WNBA player Brittney Sykes is married to Cherelle Griner, a lawyer and wife of Phoenix Mercury star Brittney Griner. Nothing about this makes sense!

NYT on the alleged messages on the shooter's weapon:
According to a preliminary internal report circulated inside the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, federal and local officials recovered ammunition with the shooter’s rifle that appeared to be engraved with statements “expressing transgender and anti-fascist ideology.”

But a senior law enforcement official with direct knowledge of the investigation cautioned that report had not been verified by A.T.F. analysts, did not match other summaries of the evidence, and might turn out to have been misread or misinterpreted. In fast-moving investigations, such status reports are not made public because they often contain a mixture of accurate and inaccurate information.
