From my daughter's Instagram. Talent comes in all shapes and sizes. The judges are initially laughing because they think it's a joke. As it goes on, the smiles fade and they put on their serious faces.

Tributes to Dolly Parton will be flowing freely for the next several days. She was a genuinely good and caring person, perhaps more importantly than her prodigious talent. Here's a charming video of her singing in an Irish pub while on vacation. It's easy to see why she was universally beloved.

I said this ten months ago, when Dolly Parton said she was talking some time off for medical reasons. I'm very sad that I was wrong.

I've just watched S04E03 of Ted Lasso. Some complain that it's moving slow and the men players haven't shown up yet. I think groundwork is carefully being laid and this iteration will be brilliant too. There will be arcs for Shannon, Emma, Lizzie, Alice, etc. The ladies will deliver. Believe.

Headlines: Such-and-such technology may someday be as smart as human brains! Reminder: *We already have human brains.* Billions of them. Most of them living in poverty and being exploited for the obscene benefit of a tiny number of the worst people in the world.

Terrible joke meme made of 3 stacked images from a moving scene in the film Finding Neverland.
1. Close up of a young boy (Freddy Highmore) sitting on a park bench with his father looks up at him and says "Dad, can you tell me what a solar eclipse is?" 
Image 2: Close-up of the dad (Johnny Depp) looking down at his son saying "No Sun" 
Image 3: the father embraces the boy as they sit on a bench. The boy is crying at the dad joke.
