This one is for the diva who showed us what it means to be an icon. 💖 Dolly Parton taught us to lead with heart, kindness, and sparkle. Our hearts are with her family, friends, and fans. Thanks for the music, memories, and magic. Dallas will always love you, Dolly. 🩷 - The Ball

RIP Dolly Parton. Can now join Kenny Rogers. This is still one of my favorite live performances ever. Back when singing was singing.

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

Opened in 1970s as the Austin Burger Works and renamed Players Hamburgers in the early 1980s, the restaurant was a very popular @UTAustin campus hangout. It closed in 2014 to make room for the business school's Rowling Hall.

@JimNicar @UTAustin I believe if you would have clicked on the seal, "The Eyes of Texas" would play.

June 7, 1993: Thirty-three years ago, @UTAustin joined the World Wide Web as a leading developer. At the time, only about 125 web servers existed globally, and two of those were on the UT campus.

The UT Home Page (here's the 1997 version) appeared soon after.

Two years ago after I joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, I butted heads with a few Latter-day Saints on X. I apologize. We were using the same vocabulary terms to discuss beliefs, but the words have different theological significance.

It takes time to fully understand the Restored Gospel and adjust one's pattern of thinking.

Be patient with new converts. Ask what they mean. Teach gently.
