[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.

The photo is up @NZParliament. Thank you @jacindaardern for your calm and strong #leadership. And the very good place you put New Zealand and New Zealanders in. You have shown everyone what can be done if we keep kindness and people at the core.

Jacinda Ardern is one of the greatest politicians to have ever represented NZ .She was a phenomenal Prime Minister who excelled during unprecedented crisis events and won elections without personal attacks. There's not one of you reading this that could have done that job.

This is probably my fave pic that I took of JA when we were on tour. This was in Murupara where we'd just left a vax site visit that was interrupted by protestors. These kids popped up to say hi and when mum came out to see what was up 1/

I’m not sure Twitter is the best place to reflect on the greatest Prime Minister in my lifetime. But I know I’m not alone in these feelings of admiration and respect. What a legacy for us to try and live up to, and build on.

Jacinda Ardern, who announced her resignation as New Zealand’s prime minister in January, bid farewell to politics in her home country on Wednesday.

She discussed the legacy she hoped to leave and ended her emotional speech in the Maori language.

Ukrainian Ambassador to the UN:
"If he wants to kill himself, he doesn't need to use a nuclear arsenal. He has to do what the guy in the bunker did in Berlin in May 1945"

In the bomb shelter with my cat. She’s been very brave.

.@ZelenskyyUa's tv address to the Russian (!) people might be the most moving speech that I've ever seen in my entire life. The whole world needs to see, understand and share this crucial Ukrainian message.
