I didn't know Presley Gerber. But I was rooting for him from afar, the way you root for anyone you recognize battling the same demons.
Addiction is a disease that knows no bounds. It doesn't care who your parents are, how much money you have, how loved you are, or how hard you're trying. And he was trying. He fought for his recovery in public, in front of a world that offers very little mercy to people who struggle where everyone can see.
We lost nearly 200 people to overdose in this country yesterday. We'll lose nearly 200 more today. About 1,300 a week. Almost 6,000 a month. Roughly 70,000 last year. Every one of them was somebody's Presley.
He started Mental Health Mondays because, in his words, "the goal was to spark real conversations about the stuff most people hide."
So don't hide. Ask for help. Keep asking. And if you've asked before and it didn't take, ask again.
You are not alone.

Today we celebrate 65 years of college football's greatest mascot.
On this day in 1961, Traveler first galloped around the @lacoliseum for the @uscfb home opener. It was supposed to be a one-off appearance but the crowd roared when the horse took the field — and has ever since.

My sister Eliana was a DIEHARD Los Angeles sports fan.
Her first love was the Los Angeles Lakers. Her childhood crush was Derek Fisher. I will forever cherish the 2000-2002 and 2009-2010 Lakers championships where we watched all the games together.
When the Rams moved back to LA, she became obsessed with going to NFL games and LOVED SoFi Stadium.
As far as baseball goes, she was a lapsed Angels fan. One of the best moments of our childhood as OC kids was seeing the Angels win the World Series for the first time in 2002, but more recently, she rooted for the Dodgers.
This is an important part of her lore that is not being reported about enough!

Fun fact: This was improved. The actress was supposed to sing the letters of the alphabet, but the crew laughed so hard when she said Cookie Monster that director Pier Paolo Pasolini decided to leave it in.

My message to the IDF officer who ordered the airstrikes on World Central Kitchen and to the people who bomb and smear humanitarians — and to the leaders who have the responsability to stop it..

Simply put, Dolly Parton was an American original. She was an inspiration to millions. She was a relentless advocate for women and for equality. Through her Imagination Library, she placed the gift of reading into the hands of millions of children because she understood literacy is the foundation of opportunity.
But perhaps most importantly, Dolly treated everyone with kindness and respect. She lived her values with a flair and vitality for life that was uniquely her own. She was a trailblazer in every sense of the word, and she will be missed by millions around the world.
Jill and I are keeping her family, her friends, and her millions of fans in our prayers.
God bless Dolly Parton.

Imagine growing up in absolute dirt poverty in east Tennessee, daughter of a tobacco farmer, going to school wearing rags your mother stitched into a coat, and when you die the British royal family has its military band play your up-the-workers country-pop anthem in tribute.
