Fans continue to visit the Dolly Parton mural in Ringgold, Ga. This is the town where she was married in 1966. Dolly has left an impressive legacy of love and literacy.

So I saw the meme about, “what song was a big hit when you were conceived?” So I looked, and now I wish I hadn’t. Not sure what’s worse, the hit song … or the B-side.

The beauty of Google Search in 2026:

how many days of the week end in an I

Two days of the week end in the letter "i": Fridayi and Saturdayi.

Wait, no! That's a classic riddle. The only days that actually end in the letter "i" are Saturdayi and Fridayi if you're singing that one playful melody.

Seriously, though, there are exactly two days of the standard seven-day week that officially end in
"i":
(W Wikipedia
• Saturdayi
• Fridayi

Could I help you with any other fun facts, or did you need a calendar check today?

So, apparently #Marquette can be assured of winning Freshman of the Year every 10 years... Congrast to Nigel James Jr.! #mubb

Text from press release that reads: The Huntington, N.Y. native is the third Marquette player (Dominic James – 2005-06, Henry Ellenson – 2015-16) to earn the accolade since the program joined the BIG EAST in 2005-06.

The No. 1 movie when you were 10 years old is how your 2026 is going to go. So, 2026 will be pretty much like 2025 then, eh?

I enjoyed 28 Years Later — intense and well-executed. But I’m not sure how the producers missed out on naming the structure on the poster. Surely, #Bonehenge should have been their first choice. #28YearsLater #Movies

We felt our first Tennessee earthquake this morning at 9:04 a.m. ET. Felt like a big truck going by, but with the added dimension of stuff on the walls rattling. Lasted about 20 seconds or so, and was epicentered about 40 miles away from our house. #earthquake #TennesseeEarthquake #Chattanooga
