[Dolly Parton @DollyParton]

Global icon and humanitarian, Dolly Parton, known to the world as a beloved singer, songwriter, philanthropist, actress, playwright, and author died peacefully today in Nashville, Tennessee. She was 80 years old.

Dolly is preceded in death by her beloved husband of 59 years Carl Thomas Dean (1942 – 2025), her mother Avie Lee Caroline Owens (1923 – 2003), and father, Robert Lee Parton, Sr. (1921 – 2000).

A rhinestone life that shone bright enough for the world to see, Dolly will forever stand as an inspiration not only through her timeless music and prolific songwriting, but also her wit, warmth, and kindness that made us all feel like family. Dolly Parton’s legacy is one of love, compassion, and resilience. With a seven-decade career, she inspired multiple generations of artists and fans with her music and an unwavering commitment to making the world a better place. Her songs will continue to resonate with people of all ages, and her philanthropic work will have a lasting impact.

At Dolly’s request, a small, private service will be held for immediate family. Dolly’s fans and friends from around the world are encouraged to pay tribute to Dolly on social media by tagging @DollyParton or by leaving a message at https://t.co/cLu9I7M2wC

BREAKING: The S&P 500 surges above 7,700 for the first time in history.

This pushes the total market cap of the S&P 500 above $70 trillion for the first time ever.

the potential you see in other people isn’t real. it is a projection of what you would do in their position.

RANDOM FACT OF THE DAY

[conduct|r @conductr_]

I know it sounds counterintuitive at first: why should you change your identity first in order to achieve your goals? Let me explain.

You do not have a discipline problem. You have an identity problem. The person you are right now is built to produce the life you already have, and anything that does not align with that person gets dropped after a few weeks.

Maxwell Maltz was a plastic surgeon who fixed people's faces and watched them stay the same person underneath. In Psycho-Cybernetics he wrote: "You will 'act like' the sort of person you conceive yourself to be. Not only this, but you literally cannot act otherwise, in spite of all your conscious efforts or willpower."

That is the whole problem. If you want a specific outcome in life, you must have the lifestyle that creates that outcome long before you reach it. Nobody is fighting their goal. They are fighting the gap between who they are and what they say they want.

And you are not undisciplined. All behavior is goal oriented, and you are already very disciplined toward one goal you never picked: staying the same. That is the one you have to change first.

Do this now:

1. Write down where your current life ends up in 5 years if nothing changes

2. Finish this sentence: "I am the type of person who..."

3. Pick 2 things that person does daily and start them now

You are not forcing a new life out of the old you. You are becoming the person that life already belongs to.

there is power in knowing “i can be loved better than this”, even if your only reference is the love you have for yourself.

[PROFESSOR @SIGMAPROFESSOR]

People don't understand this: the depth of ur kindness is directly proportional to the depth of ur intelligence. They're not two different traits; they're the same phenomenon viewed from different angles.

[Nithya Shri @Nithya_Shrii]

I value intelligence but I deeply admire kindness. No amount of brilliance can replace a kind heart.

I think one of the most heartfelt experiences in life is discovering that someone genuinely enjoys your presence. Not what you provide, Not your accomplishments. Just you, your thoughts, your energy, your existence.

Proud of Dan Marokane, Junaid Munshi and the entire Eskom team.
We have now eliminated load reduction in 6 provinces – real, tangible progress for the communities and networks that need it most.

Load reduction is not load shedding. It is a targeted intervention that protects local networks from overload due to illegal connections. That distinction matters.

At the same time, the generation side continues to deliver: daily EAF of 80.24% (highest since September 2017) and unplanned outages at their lowest level since July 2018.

What a difference. Keep going, Team Eskom.
