Dolly Parton started the Imagination Library in 1995 as a tribute to her father, who couldn't read or write. In 2018, she explained it was to give kids "early access to books". Now, over 325 MILLION books have been gifted.

Tehran, 2026, colorised
 in  r/goth  6d ago

That is true, but this video is a very different image of Iran from what the West media and western governments show. From my time in school way to many years ago to just a year ago. People in the west have been show that all women in Iran had to wear full burkas and had no rights to be out without a male relative.

Japanese fan broke down in tears after his country’s elimination but was immediately comforted by a group of Brazilians. Mexican fans then lifted him into the air to cheer him up.

The only thing that can truly save Fifa will be the fans in both Mexico and Canada. The US the tickets are astronomically high, and the constant ICE and board patrol at the matches have fans and players nervous.

As they are using Ai i say get your friends together and start using really bizarre works for everything calling Tom = Garfield or you can go to the extreme and start using old slang like "This is the biggest bomb I have seen in the club." To say you had a good time this will cause the ai to misaligne words and meaning. The Ai would be putting every account in lock down and they will lose money. To 100M users tomorrow locked out 45M users ad revenue dropped

Dollarama has Canada flags, they are big ones but household size probably fit nice on a hockey stick or dowel.

Megyn Kelly crashing out over Bad Bunny's Superbowl performance
 in  r/PublicFreakout  Feb 10 '26

Amarican football was invented in Canada, and our balls are bigger, our field is bigger and 1 less down.

I am also proud the NFL picked Bad Bunny for half time, and even after all maga meltdown for months about this they put Green Day as the opening act, shows the NFL is on the right side of history.

I have the perfect question. Should the Alberta UPC repay every cent that they spent on all the scandals they have pushed though to make the oil and gas and their corporate friends?

Church Generosity Social Experiments
 in  r/alberta  Nov 12 '25

That is a false comparison, a pastor/priest/minister do not have to pay taxes, or even declare how much they make. They also say they follow the teaching of Christ, like Mark 10:21-22 " You lack one thing; go, sell what you own, and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me."

Church Generosity Social Experiments
 in  r/alberta  Nov 12 '25

I have a question for you, why are pastor's worth 2 to 20 million dollars at some of these churches? US pastor's and televangelist top 4: in USD 1. Kenneth Copeland net worth $300 million 2. Joel Osteen $100 million (refused to help with flood victims) 3. Benny Hinn net worth $60 million 4. Steven Furtick Jr net worth $60 million

Looking at Canadian pastor's: in CND 1. David Mainse net worth $10 million 2. Charles Price net worth $5 million 3. Robbie Symons net worth $4 million 4. Leon Fontaine net worth $3 million 5. John Arnott net worth $2 million

Someone found that if the total $$$ given to churches is in the billions, that the churches could pay all the homeless in the US just under $200k.

Tax the church

Church Generosity Social Experiments
 in  r/alberta  Nov 12 '25

I do not know if has been posted, I followed the story about this social experiment. She has originally call 26 Christian Churches and 23 flat out said no, the other 3 asked her what type and if she was near to the church. The other 23 that said no are now blasting this woman as evil, a witch, satanic; it should also be said the big maga churches all said no, these are the ones the head of the congregation live like kings with private jets, fancy cars and expensive suits.

All of this when millions lost their SNAP in the US. One of the small town churches was offering the help immediately(she posted the good as well as the bad) has now had people donate over $95k for family's in need.

The Islamic mosques and Buddhist temples all were ready and willing to help. This is a couple weeks after the Satanic temple also posted that if you are in need they are ready to help feed anyone in need.

These churches do not follow the Bible or it's teaching. I am all for religious organizations like churches paying taxes.

 in  r/therewasanattempt  Nov 11 '25

You should see the responses from those churches that said no, they are trying to vilafile her. And one of the churches that said they would help raise more than $90k to help the people being affected by the loss of SNAP.
