It’s a running joke that Trump’s staff is manipulating him with AI videos, but that increasingly seems like the only way to explain what he’s talking about.

Meanwhile in Russia: state TV host Vladimir Solovyov, who is still supremely upset about potential deliveries of Tomahawks to Ukraine, once again promised to erase multiple Ukrainian cities off the face of the earth, and threatened NATO's troops and bases.

It sounds like she’s okay but here’s a thread about the greatest living childhood literacy advocate.

Robert “The Bobby Yaga” McNees @mcnees.bsky.social · Jan 19

Entertainer, childhood literacy advocate, and *scientific philanthropist* Dolly Parton was born #OTD in 1946.

Mostly known for singing and songwriting, Dolly's Imagination Library program has distributed over 100 million free books to kids around the world. 🦋 📖 🎶

A black and white photo of Dolly Parton, taken when she was in her twenties. She has long, wavy blonde hair, and is wearing a denim shirt and large hoop earrings. Dolly is looking at something off to the side.

A promotional color photo of Dolly Parton reading the book "llama llama red pajama" to three children. She has blond hair, a tan jacket, and her mouth is open as she reads from the book. Three children around her look at the book as she reads.

One of my favorite things is to make a fancy dinner for no reason other than we are alive and we get to have pleasurable experiences.

Tonight, I made a spectacular roast leg of lamb, squash + peas, and a tomato salad (the last from the garden).

Joy, pleasure: these are resistance, too.

U.S. Northern Command says that elements of the Texas national guard are now “employed in the greater Chicago area.”

The statement claims that they’ve been deployed to protect ICE and federal property.

This is exactly why ICE needs to be unmasked and ID’d — like cops.

📌 Cases of ICE impersonators this year alone outnumber the last four presidential terms combined.
