The one that always gets me is that the last American born into slavery died the year John Lennon released “Imagine.”

This little twerp, who’s been there a few months, axed two of the lions of WaPo??

Fisher is an investigative champion and had been at The Post for 39 years. Hoffman had been there for 42, and he won a Pulitzer LAST YEAR.

Oliver Darcy @oliverdarcy.bsky.social · 9h

Last week, new WaPo opinion editor Adam O'Neal quietly carried out another purge of staffers, cutting editors and major names like Marc Fisher and David Hoffman, among others.

Meanwhile, he welcomed three conservatives to the section.

Post Traumatic Disorder

Adam O’Neal says he’s bringing “intellectual diversity” to The Washington Post’s opinion pages—but the moves he’s making behind the scenes tell a different story.

It annoys me so much how black women get dragged over hair extensions and then these Stepford Nazis show up with the wiggiest most Spirit Halloween-looking constructions on their heads and act like they're superior.

I cannot take her seriously with those hair extensions. Not because she has hair extensions, but because she has badly done hair extensions.

Not to be whiny, but I would really like for something good to happen. On a personal level. On a national level. On a global level. One of all three.

Trust me, I do not give a damn about that man's feelings, but fascists have ALWAYS operated this way in America. By making in-groups and out-groups. If we can take that tool away from them? It helps.

The point is that Miller is a hateful freak and a weirdo, but his height has nothing to do with it. Don't allow fascists ANY common ground with normal people. Because they'll pretend that common ground is why they are being shunned. Nah, it's the bigotry and hostile behavior. Always.

His complete lack of charisma. His physical awkwardness. His penchant for getting shrieky when upset. The lack of masculinity. The freakish obsession with Nazis. The fact that his skin always looks clammy.

There are plenty of hilarious things about Stephen Miller that have nothing to do with his height. The fact that he's afraid of Black people. That he hasn't emotionally matured because a Latina curved him for being a weirdo. That he looks like Dracula and Goebbels had a science baby.

We gotta do better by our short kings while making fun of goblins. Nobody who isn't a Nazi at their core is going to run off and become a Nazi because of a height joke, but you can avoid friendly fire by firing in a different direction completely.

Stephen Miller is 4'10"

It will never not be funny that ABC lost her because they didn't want to give her two Disney World comps.

Dolly Parton’s sister, Freida Parton, is asking for people to pray for her sister’s health.

Verified Facebook post by Freida Parton. The caption reads:

“Last night, I was up all night praying for my sister, Dolly. Many of you know she hasn’t been feeling her best lately. I truly believe in the power of prayer, and I have been lead to ask all of the world that loves her to be prayer warriors and pray with me. She’s strong, she’s loved, and with all the prayers being lifted for her, I know in my heart she’s going to be just fine. Godspeed, my sissy Dolly. We all love you! ❤️”

Below the caption is a photo of Dolly Parton standing outdoors in front of lush green ivy, hands clasped in prayer, wearing a shiny silver outfit with lace-trimmed sleeves, her signature blonde hair styled in soft curls, looking upward serenely.
