Celebrating the time we baked an awkward cake and decorated it with a baby-on-a-dog. “You Look Nice Today” was one of the first podcasts we really fell in love with. Hat tip to @hotdogsladies.bsky.social and the gang.

Dolly broke me in early to her raucous self deprecating sense of humor when we began steel magnolias rehearsals i asked her - how long does it take to do a hair do like yours? Dolly - no idea, i’m never there when they do it! i started taking Dolly-isms notes on the back of my script after that

I appreciate that Dolly Parton refused to participate in "dress respectability" and, by her own account, modeled her aesthetic after a town "tramp," who she thought was beautiful. She separated aesthetics from character and understood "classiness" to be about how you treat people, not how you dress.

Treat lies like obscenities.
Kate Cohen
Former Post contributing columnist
My dream new journalistic standard would make it unacceptable to quote a lie in a news story. In the deep-fake, bot-infested Trump era, it’s no longer enough for news organizations to seek truth; we need them to protect the public from lies. Lies should be treated like obscenities, graphic violence or sexual content. That means literally refusing to repeat a transparent lie — not quoting it early and then offering corrective facts two paragraphs or 30 seconds later. Sure, sometimes it’s a judgment call whether a statement falls just to the spin side of the mendacity line. But sometimes it’s obvious. You know how news stories avoid quoting profanity by saying things like “he said, adding an expletive for emphasis”? That’s how reporters should deal with lies: e.g., “he said, before repeatedly lying about …” As for lying on live TV? Bring on the bleeps!

Alex Pretti wasn't killed by rhetoric, he was killed by two masked CBP agents shooting him 10 times in the back after they had disarmed and pepper sprayed him. Rhetoric didn't kill Renee Good either, a thug from ICE did that with a gun as she tried to avoid hurting him.
