Her career would just have been one of many country singers if she hadn't gotten those gorgeous globes installed.

Her songwriting, Speaks. Like Willie Nelson or Bob Dylan. Probably thousands of songs published, even if not recorded.

"LET'S NOT STOP THERE... TRACK RECORD OF LIES.
Russian collision

Lose your bets on Moscow Demolition Derby again?

24. People in vast parts of the country will scratch their heads, if the flags are even lowered.

I wonder, too, if Trump thinks a period of national mourning will divert any focus on him.

When DJT goes tits up (thanks to LYD for a post sometime ago), the national reactions are "gonna be wild."

An entire nation in PTS.

"I am lowering the American flag throughout the United States for a one week period beginning tonight at 6:00PM."

Not a fan of lowering the flag for cultural saints. Love Dolly, but ...

The mountains of East Tennessee are beautiful, and she was a beautiful product of them.

She provided tons of books to that region and beyond, and I'm sure her estate will try to ensure that the East TN mountains are as uninfluenced as possible by the continuing rush toward idiocy.

"STFU raetard. If you are willing to torture your eyes and scroll through my post history you won't find me defending Trump anywhere."

First, that's a joke.

Is the spelling of raetard like the Democrat Party. MAGAt gaydar? You and Turds having secret man-on-man spelling parties?

I'm sure Trump is enjoying any stories that link him closely to a blonde with the mind of a 12 year old.

I was born when Ike was still president.

All the presidents' sex lives.

Ike, affairs
JFK, horndog
LBJ, affairs
Nixon. Well, he had Pat.
Ford, Betty a happy drunk
Carter, hammered for being Baptist but having lust in his heart
Reagan, Called his wife Mommy

Most posters should be able to take it from there.

Major Major Major Major?

Turds: I'm not providing links. Look it up and think about any aspect of it, if you can.

In the 1930s, heart disease was the leading cause of death in the United States, accounting for roughly 30% of all mortalities.

Remarkably, one-fifth of these heart disease deaths (about 6% of all US deaths) were due to cardiovascular syphilis, while non-cardiac complications of syphilis ranked as the fifth leading cause of death.

Syphilis affected 10% of Americans, and gonorrhea was even more widespread, with up to 25% of the population infected.

Hilarious

AI: Globally, over 44 million people have died from AIDS-related illnesses since the epidemic began. While the virus affects people of all sexual orientations and genders worldwide, men who have sex with men remain a key affected population in many regions.

Not AI: A lot of those deaths were in Africa and were women and children, whose husbands/fathers had, um, sex with other men.

Or men who had had sex with other men and got AIDS, then had sex with virgin girls to cure the men. Results? You tell me.

Oh, more AI: In the US, almost 300,000 gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men have died from AIDS since the epidemic began.

Stay safe, dude.

Where's your 88 million number from, Turds? Your adding up what your personalities tell you? Republican math?

Turds:

Where's that 88 million figure coming from? Who does that include?

"East Palestine, Ohio"

Oops. Enforcement called to Wrong Palestine.

Sunday morning, 930a.

Fixin to do something to atone for?

I heart higher-IQ populism.

Sean Duffy Combs? Did he get sprung? Always seemed a good fit for Trump 2.0.

"My point once again, is not that those ancient people told literal stories and we are now smart enough to take them symbolically, but that they told them symbolically and we are now dumb enough to take them literally." -- John Dominic Crossan

Been reading some books lately from RW Catholic presses about how to be a father like the NT Joseph, about whom zero biographical information appears in the Bible other than his profession.

The father of the Son of the Holy Father as Rorshach blot.

The mixture of somewhat extremist religion and self-help, while remunerative and amusing books for my work, just digs a few rabbit holes deeper.

Then again, the awakened earth mamas who are saying you have to accompany your child through all their feelings while unpacking your own are dangerous on another level.

And I doubt they're in the same mommy wine clubs.

Corky. I've not watched the video and I don't know this source, but always look to who is paying for archaeological research. Some big scandals in the ancient manuscripts world in the last few decades with RW Catholics, like your pals in SW FL, going hunting for new old scrolls ... and just happening to find them.

It's the old draw a dot on the wall, draw a circle around it, and claim a bullseye.

His weight is dragging down the whole ------- country.

I think we'll know he senses his mortality when he starts throwing his disgusting spawn under the bus.

Good. He's safe from magnets.

I have a Latter-day Saint acquaintance brought up in the faith who was giving me the narrative of Jesus visiting 500 years before the MidEast. I'd heard all that before and worked on a pretty cynical interpretation of the finding of the golden plates, investigating the times of that era in upstate NY and the debts of the Joseph Smith family.

I am curious to hear more of my friend's telling of it. Beats the indoctrination of 18yo missionaries or trying to figure out the source material.

And if he's sincere, who am I to judge?

Properly marketed, you could have onenut doing KPop...

A million and a half flies. Excellent.

No reflection on the content, Corky.

-DEI is peak toxicity
I don't know if that's true. It's seemingly ineffective. Trump has benefited from DEI based on the 2024 election results.

The concept of DEI isn't peak toxicity at all, nor is DEI in hiring ineffective.

That Trump has used it as a election issue is not a positive DEI benefit.

DEI ineffective for Democrats as a political issue? What isn't? The Democrats can't convince enough people that a rush toward authoritarianism and US association with the world's worst governments are bad things. You expect them to manage the pesky details with MAGA idiots who refuse to accept definitions of words in their native language?

Folks haven't figured it out, but people drawing cave art tens of thousands of years ago in places that were virtually impossible to reach or even light up enough to draw in were up to something. And the ideas for what they were drawing ...

I don't care what, just that it is.

But I don't think they were driven by monotheism. From my own readings.

More interesting to me is the Axial Age.
