Dolly had this quote about saying no to Elvis when he wanted to record “I Will Always Love You” that is one of the coolest things I’ve ever read:

Full text: In an interview with CMT, Parton recalled: “I said, ‘I’m really sorry,’ and I cried all night. I mean, it was like the worst thing. You know, it’s like, ‘Oh, my God … Elvis Presley.’ And other people were saying, ‘You’re nuts. It’s Elvis Presley. I mean, hell, I’d give him all of it.’ I said, ‘I can’t do that. Something in my heart says, ‘Don’t do that.’ And I just didn’t do it, and they just didn’t do it. But I always wondered what it would sound like. I know he’d kill it. Don’t you? He would have killed it. But anyway, so he didn’t. Then when Whitney [Houston’s version] came out, I made enough money to buy Graceland.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ybk3ofykagkulabvpm4nitza/bafkreigte5lafqhzlfmigfe6miau5enc3vpnb7jh6w4c2trrhthvu36yne@jpeg)

it's like a Rosetta Stone for understanding US politics: any organization that claims to represent moms is straight up fascist

here's hoping he meets a similar fate to Midgley
![screenshot of "Death" section of Wikipedia entry for Thomas Midgley, Jr. full text:
In 1940, at the age of 51, Midgley contracted polio and was left severely disabled. He devised an elaborate system of ropes and pulleys to lift himself out of bed. On November 2, 1944, at the age of 55, he was found dead at his home in Worthington, Ohio. He had been killed by his own device after he became entangled in it and died of strangulation.[26][27][28][29] His death was ruled a suicide by the coroner.[30] He left behind a widow, Carrie M. Reynolds from Delaware, Ohio, whom he had married on August 3, 1911.[4]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ybk3ofykagkulabvpm4nitza/bafkreiakuwbb3nfm2udg5mumthox5dxcvri7z27ggftv3qwvpfcdu6yphm@jpeg)

if you click on the shirt like you want to buy it, the size options it gives you are 1, 2 and 3. I'm betting these are placeholder values on whatever ecommerce platform they're using, because they don't expect anyone to actually buy it

I can never take RFK Jr. seriously, partly because he's so obviously unserious, but mostly because of how much he resembles the character of "George Liquor" from the old Ren & Stimpy cartoon
