Dolly Parton's free book gifting program was such a profound gift. No one asked for it. She just sent books to kids all over the US and elsewhere. My children loved receiving their "dolly books." An act of pure generosity that meant so much to so many families.

In 1999, JR Koch played for an @IowaHoops team that went to the Sweet 16.
Iowa hadn’t been back to a Sweet 16 until tonight… With JR’s son, Cooper, hitting 4 3s to beat the national champs.

@MayorBowser @CMZParker5 @nbcwashington Prioritizing cars over pedestrians. Cleared this intersection for cars by completely blocking the sidewalk, and that’s McKinley Tech HS and Langley Elementary in the background. How do kids get to school?

I'll echo what everyone else is saying...DC is losing a great source of local information.
Bad actors benefit & important problems fester when there is less public awareness of what is going on; and the largest information/coverage gaps are at the local level.
Exclusive: @WAMU lays off 15 staffers, shutting down @DCist in effort to focus more on audio projects

Kirk Ferentz took 3 months to hire an offensive coordinator and settled on the guy who got fired after finishing 127th out of 131 teams in offensive SP+ in 2022. Impossibly funny. You couldn’t make it up
Seems unnecessary but you can’t dampen the mood. Go Hawks Babbbbyyy! Going to the ‘ship!
Caitlin Clark has scored 235 points in postseason play with one game left.
