RIP Dolly 🖤💖
Tonight, the Empire State Building tower lights will turn to a pink sparkle at 9:25 to honor the late Dolly Parton.
Dolly was a global cultural icon whose seven-decade career reached generations of fans. Beyond entertainment, Dolly leaves a significant philanthropic legacy through the Dollywood Foundation and Imagination Library, which has provided hundreds of millions of books to children worldwide.
At Nine-Two-Five tonight, we celebrate her and her legacy 💖

I was working on an unrelated story last week when I came across the Children of Glasgow fountain, dumped under clod and scrap in a Glasgow City Council yard.
The fountain, designed by artist Michael Snowden and was a centrepiece of the #GlasgowGardenFestival of 1988, later became a fixture at Kelvingrove Museum.
Despite Glasgow City Council's admission that they have no plans for the piece, MSP @PaulJSweeney is hopeful that the fountain can be reinstated 'sooner rather than later' and has approached original sponsors Royal Bank of Scotland @RBS_Help on help with costs. Lex Lamb of @AtGF1988 also hopes to see the intact structure given a new life.

Penny, she’d have kept being gay illegal if she could. She’s notoriously anti LGBTQ+! How does that work for your gay brother?

A tribute to the DAME
I will never forget you.
My thoughts are with your sons, grandchildren, family, friends & your legions of fans throughout the world who admired & loved you.
I couldn’t sleep last night, so wrote some words (below).

We just dropped in on Liz Truss’s pro-Trump speaking tour with a remote-controlled lettuce banner. She didn’t find it funny. 🥬

The crisp cauldron has been restocked. More supplies hidden if it needs to be replenished throughout the night, of course #generalelection

Excellent to see @DavidTCDavies completely exposing himself as the bully we all knew he was live on the BBC. I feel extremely sorry for whoever has to live with him and his vile temperament. Bravo to @bphillipsonMP for handling him brilliantly.

@DavidTCDavies behaviour on #bbcqt is absolutely shocking
What a horrible human being!

The behaviour of @DavidTCDavies on @bbcquestiontime tonight is beyond poor. A hideous arrogant, rude outburst. I feel for the chap coming out week on end defending nonsense, but I think perhaps he shouldn’t be back. Tbh I think should’ve been kicked off there and then.

Disgraceful behaviour from @DavidTCDavies towards @bphillipsonMP on @bbcquestiontime, Fiona Bruce should have forced him to apologise. #bbcqt

How much better would the Mitchell Library look if the M8 was covered over and the area in front of it turned into a public square or an urban park?

Very mixed feelings about Bat Boy tonight. It’s one of my favourite shows of all time so it was great to see it on stage again, but the sound at the palladium was absolutely fucking awful. The sound person bringing in the mics far too late, the vocals getting drowned out. 1/3
As Halloween’s go Bat Boy @LWTheatres @londonpalladium tonight was certainly horrific. Worst sound design ever. With one-off night’s a few glitches can be expected but not an entire act completely imbalanced, talented actors being left inaudible. Left at interval. Insulting 🚫⭐️

.@KemiBadenoch @SuellaBraverman it’s been 3 days now and you have both remained silent. Stop obsessing over gender neutral loos and just make the slightest attempt to do your jobs @Conservatives #Clapham
Hi @SuellaBraverman I notice you’ve been quiet about the horrific homophobic attack in #Clapham why is this? No condemnation, no show of support for the LGBTQ+ community.
You’re the Home Secretary for goodness sake.
Your silence speaks volumes.
