My mother passed away recently, and my siblings & I would like a permanent copy of her voicemail greeting, the one you get when you call her. I'm apparently googling the wrong things to find out how to do this. She had an iPhone, we have the passcode. Help?

I feel like professional hockey commentators should know better, I'll be real

A children's hospital is renamed for Dolly Parton and hopes to transform pediatric care in Tennessee Dolly Parton’s name might inspire full-throated sing-a-longs to her working woman’s anthem “9 to 5,” or evoke memories of thrilling days spent at her Dollywood theme park.

“Dolly Parton Children’s Hospital did not share how much Parton donated as part of the naming announcement. But Matt Schaefer, its president and CEO, said her support would ensure ‘every child who walks through our doors receives the treatment they deserve.’”

GOD BLESS DOLLY PARTON

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.

Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.

Four giants control 80% of meat processing.

The evidence of corporate consolidation is everywhere.

It means more power for them and less freedom for you.

I have always liked asparagus but fresh picked asparagus out of the garden is entirely different and puts any previous asparagus to shame.

The ICE surge in Minnesota isn’t over — it just moved outside of the Metro.

ICE agents are still terrorizing innocent people in the suburbs. They’re targeting bus stops and hospitals and parks and being more deceptive than ever.

This isn’t over until ICE is out of the ENTIRE state.

You are a woman who plays hockey. You just won the Olympic gold medal. Your national head of state just demeaned you in the most sexist of ways. A music legend invites you to a celebration with him, instead of with the loser guy who just dissed you and your teammates. What would you do? YEAH, BOYYYY

same. I'm wearing wildfang right now, and i mix it with less edgy pieces for work. a wardrobe of plain work basics from Nordstrom Rack with makeup/hair/jewelry/accessories providing the vibe is my go-to, and wildfang is often on deck for a cool print button-down underneath a black suit.

NEWS: The WNBA informed its teams and the Women’s National Basketball Players Association on Monday that if there isn’t a term sheet in place for the new CBA by March 10, the 2026 season will be impacted, multiple sources told Sabreena Merchant.
