Barbara Walters, the intrepid interviewer, anchor and program host who led the way as the first woman to become a TV news superstar during a network career remarkable for its duration and variety, has died. She was 93.

Walters' death was announced by ABC on air Friday night.

“Barbara Walters passed away peacefully in her home surrounded by loved ones. She lived her life with no regrets. She was a trailblazer not only for female journalists, but for all women,” her publicist Cindi Berger also said in a statement.

a lot of the things you made in middle school were probably cringe but sometimes the unfiltered creativity of a 12 year old with no friends, no sense of shame, and a how to draw anime book would lead to the rawest shit imaginable. and then you find that raw ass shit 10 years later and you're like damn. i was on to something here.

On this day 69 years ago (14 September 1955), a promising still mostly unknown 22-year-old rhythm and blues musician calling himself Little Richard (Richard Wayne Penniman) recorded the outrageous landmark rock’n’roll single “Tutti Frutti” at J & M Studio in New Orleans. In his ambitious 2024 book The Secret Public: How LGBTQ Performers Shaped Popular Culture (1955 - 1979), Jon Savage (author of the 1991 tome England’s Dreaming: The Sex Pistols and Punk Rock – a sacred text for me) argues “Tutti Frutti” represents year zero and forensically deconstructs and analyzes the song. “From the first eruption to the final exclamation, “Tutti Frutti” had a harsh, relentlessly driving sound, with an unrestrained vocalist who punctuated the simple lyrics with gospel shrieks and weird outbursts,” Savage writes. “Honed in the dives and drag bars of the American South and informed by his thorough knowledge of the sexual underground, Richard’s lyrics were a deliberate provocation: “Tutti frutti, good booty / If it don’t fit, don’t force it / You can grease it, make it easy …” In the volatile climate of 1955, they were also a barrier to any kind of wider exposure. [Producer Robert] Blackwell knew that a verse about sodomy would create such a storm as to kill both the record and Richard’s career. Substitute lyrics were needed if the record was ever to get a chance of airplay … Riffing off this basic phrase, Richard pounded the piano, yelled, shrieked and testified over just under two and a half minutes, and in doing so opened up the underground that he had inhabited … By early November, “Tutti Frutti” had sold 200,000 copies, entering the R&B charts in the middle of the month at #12. It was the breakthrough sound of freedom, couched in an extreme androgyny. The game was on.”

Nathalie Schenck Laimbeer, the first woman hired by National City Bank of New York to be given the title of assistant cashier, is shown on February 13, 1925.

Laimbeer was born a socialite but, as a widow, began working during World War I. In 1919 she went into banking, as manager of the women's department of the U.S. Mortgage and Trust Company. "The women's department makes it easier for women to do their banking business themselves, rather than have it done for them by men," she said in a 1920 article. She was assistant cashier and head of the women's department at National City from 1925 to 1926, retiring at 44 due to health reasons. She died in 1929.

Dear Si Chen,

Welcome to the swaying 1990s!

Ok dude to a recent post of yours is have to know what other plants are sluts?

Rhododendron is the QUEEN of sluts. It will not STOP. Uprooting this fast-growing monstrosity is dick and half a ball because it has strong roots and woody stems; UK conservationists hate this stuff.

The most monstrous slut, Colonel War Crimes of the slut kingdom, is Giant Hogweed. Not ONLY is it voracious, not only is it huge, but this plant is NOXIOUS. You have to sequester it off when you see it and eradicate it in PPE. Actively dangerous just to stand around.

Other sluts are sitka spruces, mile-a-minuteweed, japanese honeysuckle, skunk cabbage... very aggressive invaders. The UK is under seige with invasive species since the island is REALLY unique in its soil chemistry. Once you deacidify it, you have a hard time fixing that.

my theories for the new world of steam footage at the next l5 vision

some first look gameplay footage

cutscene shots, a mix of 2D/3D cinematics

more footage of the evil cowboy

the evil cowboy is shown in a cutscene

hershel has a stand off with the evil cowboy

the evil cowboy spits his cigar out on the ground and stomps it with his spurred boot

before hershel can react the evil cowboy grabs hershel by the collar and yanks him until theyre mere hairs apart

he uses this tip of his machine pistol to flick hershel's hat off

hershel tenses up and shows no emotion, feeling the evil cowboy's hot, tobacco-kissed breath on his face

the steam pipes all around them make the air thick and musky

"real hootin tootin hot in here aint it mr layton" the evil cowboy rumbles sensually

"spose i should take off these ol overalls theyre really hankering up my jimmies"

"yes i suppose you should" hershel replies, his free hand coming up to grip the bullet belt around his chest
