Can we give Dweeb some love, he’s had massive surgery today and is probably very self conscious, while still being perfect.

Dweeb wants to know if everyone will still love him while he looks very ridiculous for a minute

Rename one of the Navy ships after Chuck Norris. Not the Cesar Chavez one, because it's just a dry cargo ship. The legend needs a destroyer with his name on it. Get it done, @PeteHegseth

@FarmGirlCarrie She's one of those women that is beautiful at any weight, probably because she has such a sparkling, joyful spirit. God bless her and Gerald.

He (Gerald McRaney) married her when the world was watching. He stayed when the cameras looked away. In the 1980s, Delta Burke didn't need anyone to tell her she was beautitul. America had already decided.
As Suzanne Sugarbaker on Designing Women, she wasn't just a character—she was a phenomenon. Glamorous, razor-sharp, devastatingly funny. The kind of presence that commanded a room the instant she entered.
Emmy nominations followed. Magazine covers celebrated her. She represented Southern beauty and confidence at their peak. Behind the dazzling spotlight, Delta's body began changing in ways Hollywood would never applaud.
Not through discipline or achievement, but through something beyond her control—biology turning against itself. Weight fluctuations that arrived without invitation. Exhaustion that sleep couldn't cure. Eventually, doctors gave it a name: Type 2 diabetes.
Her body was waging invisible wars, producing symptoms no amount of willpower could overcome.
Through every diagnosis, every body change, every cruel headline-Gerald McRaney remained.
They married in 1989, when Delta was at career peak. Gerald was already an established actor— Simon & Simon, Major Dad, later Deadwood and This Is Us. He didn't need her fame or her image.
He married the person beneath the spotlight.
'He loved me when I got as big as a house, Delta once said—not with shame, but with profound gratitude. 'He has loved me through my up times and my down times. He still thinks my body looks great-and I can certifiably tell you, it does not.
For 35 years, Gerald McRaney has loved Delta Burke without conditions. Not 'I'll love you if you stay thin' or 'I'll love you if you remain famous' or 'I'll love you as long as you match the image I married!
Simply: I love you. Through everything.
He sees her—not the magazine version, not the television character frozen at peak glamour-but the actual woman. The one who is resilient and imperfect and beautifully real. Who lives with chronic illness. Whose body doesn't always cooperate. Who faces unjust criticism and perseveres anyway.
And she sees him too. A man who treated wedding vows not as ceremony poetry, but as daily practice.
In sickness and in health. For better and for worse.
Through public judgment and private struggle.
Not glamour-but quiet loyalty that persists when glamour inevitably fades.
Delta and Gerald prove that's not universal truth.
Since 1989—35 years-they've navigated her health struggles, his career shifts, industry changes, aging, weight fluctuations, relentless public criticism. They've faced everything that supposedly destroys celebrity marriages.
They're still together. Not just legally married but genuinely partnered, still actively choosing each other, still committed after three and a half decades.
Delta speaks about Gerald with affection that hasn't diminished. He speaks about her with pride that isn't contingent on appearance or career status. They've built something authentic—not the Hollywood fantasy of perpetual passion, but the deeper bond of sustained commitment through ordinary, unglamorous times.
Perhaps that's the truest measure of love-not who stands beside you at your brightest, but who remains when the lights dim and reality loses its filter.
Delta Burke found that in Gerald McRaney. A man who married her when she was television glamorous and stayed when her body changed, when illness arrived, when the industry abandoned her, when tabloids turned cruel.
Who witnessed her at her most vulnerable and loved her anyway—not despite imperfection but through it, alongside it, accepting it as inseparable from loving an actual human rather than a manufactured image.
He married her when the world was watching. He stayed when the cameras stopped caring.
And after 35 years, they're still together—not because it's been easy, but because they've made it possible through daily choice and quiet, unglamorous devotion.
That's love. Not the story we tell. 🙏♥️

@miles_commodore Great voice. I miss voices like his. Nat King Cole, Danny Kaye, Mama cass Elliott and others. Voices that will live on through cds, tapes, records...digital methods. Thank God that we got the opportunity to hear distinctive voices such as theirs.
