"I'm the damn paterfamilias."

I see that Tom is suddenly and with strained enunciation trying very hard to lose that Arkansas accent. It's not as grating as Marsha Blackburn working on those final Gs she used to drop, but then Tom has mysteriously confident aspirations what with Lyndsay and Mitch out of the halls.

Oh my. Couple of things. 1. Charlie doesn't tell us much about his dating experiences, he just Holds Forth in the opinion column because he's retired and no longer has the reliable captive audience he craves. And...

Spot on. I haven't seen The Piano in twenty or more years and it still haunts me. Think about it a lot.

Step 1: The Problem I’ve been reborn. My estrogen patch restored my sleep, energy, and hair back to age twenty-two. Time to reverse-age my wardrobe.

Everybody on here is talking about how dim Maria is when this is so obviously a schtick orchestrated for the real audience of one. It's a parenting technique used to redirect behavior in small children.

RIP bonnie tyler. lotta folks tonight are gonna learn the extent to which 'total eclipse of the heart' is outside their karaoke range

"However, representing a religion other than Christianity in Arkansas at the time attracted significant negative attention. Many hate crimes were committed against the family and the mission, notably the bombing of the mission on January 14, 1959..."

To promote a nationwide "simultaneous reading" of the Declaration of Independence, the Arkansas Department of Heritage inexplicably used AI to generate a fake, misspelled "Declaraition of Indeppendennce"

That's a hot mess.

What do you mean abolishing ICE is not doable? It was created in 2003. There are Missy Elliot songs older than ICE.

Art. My heart is full.

Must not have asked anyone from Arkansas.

Don't act surprised. We all remember the cast of holy shit incorrigibles from season one.

I just can’t even

The thing is, a lot of people want to start a substack when maybe they should actually just buy a diary

Last image from tonight (short film in the morning): this brother out here with his Singer sewing machine, gifting people a custom embroidery on their jerseys and hats with the name and the date, was more artistic than anything at Burning Man and ad gorgeous as a Caravaggio. Magic! Goodnight.

"There’s no guarantee next year that lawmakers won’t try again to threaten funding for PBS or try to assert more influence in restricting programming they don’t find politically palatable." I fully expect it to happen. This administration can't be trusted to do the right thing. At all.

What a hot mess. I'd give a speech about irreparable loss of legal reputation and such, but it's Mississippi and I'm not convinced it matters there.

Report: Arkansas child well-being improves in some areas but lags behind overall arkansasadvocate.com/2026/06/08/r...

The Arkansas TV Commission is expected to vote whether to move forward with plans to cut ties with PBS during its meeting this morning. A livestream of the meeting starts at 10am: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ashU... #arpx

So that's how it works now. The state cuts programs people love (PBS) and need (Meals on Wheels) and they just wait around to see if we get loud enough to threaten their imagined "mandate."

Sorry, I’ve been in a bad mood since November 2016.

Winner!

When I see an AI summary, I avert my eyes like I walked in on my grandmother changing clothes.

In the end we were just his latest casino and whatnot.

Did I just see Sean Spicer in a Car Shield commercial? What?

Reminds me of all the poetry readings where students read their poems about writing poetry and were baffled when no one clapped.

You know that school already has emails queued up to harass these fresh alums for money. "Congratulations (insert graduate's name here)!"

this graduation speech moment is notable, and her amazed shock at having failed to read the room feels instructive. when you're inside the bubble, you think everybody else is. but everybody isn't.

That's an easy one. Malignant narcissists don't like holidays that aren't about them. They stomp, yell, and bully until it IS about them.

My knees.

YES

The reviews on Amazon are stellar.

You might know that Arkansas Monticello’s men’s teams are known as the Boll Weevils, but did you know the women’s teams are called the Cotton Blossoms? They still have a lady boll weevil mascot, though. A sheevil, if you will.

I don’t have a way to cover this in an actual article but I have just received a press release that I think my audience will want to hear about: White Lily tells me they are releasing a line of ready-to-bake frozen biscuits in southeastern supermarkets

As a woman of a certain age, I cannot express my disbelief at seeing these four people standing in front of the White House together. Queen Camilla? President Trump? First Lady Melania? Breathtakingly bizarre.

This is not a feel-good story. Veterans of the Vietnam war are, like, 70 at the youngest. They should not have to be working.

Strong piece.

I seem to remember there used to be a season when neither your heater nor your air conditioner was on. I miss that.

There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in your philosophy.

Guess I bought these Virginia Slims and chocolate bars for nothing. I'll hang on to them.

I'm so confused. Which DEFCON are we at now?

I pay $0 for this website so I am fine with occasional glitches

Hey you effing asshole Republicans he's sending your kids and grand kids to fight a war in Southwest Asia - how is this ok with you ? www.nwaonline.com/news/2026/ap...
