"Somewhere in Tennessee, an Air Evac pilot flying back to base in Clarksville looked down and caught this from the sky: a corn maze cut in the shape of Dolly Parton, guitar and all. 💖
You’d never know it was there from the ground.
Nashville loves Dolly.
And apparently, so does this farmer" 🥰

Just boarded my flight in Nashville and the whole @SouthwestAir plane is lit up pink, with @DollyParton playing loud on the speakers as we board. 🦋💝 #Dolly
@urbanponds101 Islands in the Stream, especially because it was a duet with Kenny Rogers. Dolly and Kenny were part of the soundtrack of my childhood, especially their Christmas album. We played the *record* every Christmas season. Sweet memories from a beautiful 80s/90s childhood.
just a reminder that being upset over a celebrity’s death is not parasocial in any way. these are real people that made real art that impacted you. you are allowed to mourn & grieve something special to you
I'm sorry we never got a chance to meet, but getting this note from Dolly really had a an impact on me. She definitely didn't have to take the time to do it. Even for a kid who mostly listened to rap music, she was an icon. A superstar in every sense. Rest easy Dolly. And thank you for the kind words.
Imagine growing up in absolute dirt poverty in east Tennessee, daughter of a tobacco farmer, going to school wearing rags your mother stitched into a coat, and when you die the British royal family has its military band play your up-the-workers country-pop anthem in tribute.
The feeling of losing my Aunt Dolly is beyond what feels right to share. Our most sacred moments were private and they’ll stay there behind the stage, beneath the glamour & between our hearts.
What I KNOW is Dolly would want me to feel it, write a song about it, and then continue on and be strong. I have an angel by my side. I always have. One of our last conversations was about music and metamorphosis. 🦋
I will always love her and want to make her proud. My heart breaks for the world, her family and friends who will miss her deeply. We’re in this loss together and we will see her in all of the most beautiful things. 💖 @dollyparton

I’m marrying my twin brother’s high school ex-girlfriend. They dated briefly at 16, but she and I fell in love years later as adults. My sibling always swore he was fine with it, even agreeing to be my best man.
During the reception, he grabbed the microphone. The room went silent. He stared right at me, his face completely serious, and said, “Today is the day I get my revenge for what you’ve done to me.”
My blood ran cold. I thought our old sibling rivalry had just exploded and he was about to publicly ruin my wedding.
So, my revenge is forcing you to finally leave.”
Inside were two first-class tickets to Tokyo and a fully paid, month-long honeymoon itinerary.
He had been saving a portion of his paycheck for years to pay me back. His immense compassion and pure kindness left the entire room in tears.
That moment proved our family bond and true kinship will always outlast any high school drama.
💥NEW: Stephen A. Smith: “I would give anything to be able to say something definitively in Karmelo Anthony’s defense. If there was a shred of innocence to the incident itself, I would say so. I don’t want to see another black young man going to jail.”
“But I don’t give a d*mn about what your race or ethnicity is. Just because you’re white and young doesn’t mean you deserve to be m*rdered. And just because you’re black and young … doesn’t give you a license to m*rder someone.”
“That’s what happened.”
Black Woman is outraged over how Black Americans are acting over the Karmelo Anthony verdict
“I'm not gonna lie to you, being Black right now is completely embarrassing. You ***** are some of the most vile, inhumane species that have ever graced the earth. For days, I've watched Black people jump around like monkeys, act a belligerent fool, act a whole entire nut over a decision that somebody chose to do. And now y'all are out here harming innocent white people in the name of Karmelo Anthony”
She gives a long speech about how the perception of black people is completely the fault of themselves
This is a great moment of someone very smart and not afraid to call out the reality of what’s taking place
“The behavior is still the same. We have not learned nothing. Because we have learned nothing, we are continuing to rot as a nation”
🚨Breaking.
Carmelo Anthony was just sentenced to 35 years.
Now before everybody starts calling each other racist and before social media turns this into another black-versus-white circus, I have a question.
What if it was your son?
Not somebody else’s son.
Your son.
Your grandson.
Your nephew.
Would you still be standing outside with signs?
Would you still be posting hashtags?
Would you still be raising money for the person convicted of stabbing him?
Because that’s the part I cannot understand.
A family buried their child.
A jury heard the evidence.
A judge handed down 35 years.
And somehow half the country is talking about race instead of the victim.
So … I have questions.
I want to know how a person reportedly connected to hundreds of thousands of dollars in donations ends up with a public defender.
I want to know how the jury was selected.
I want to know why people seem more upset about the sentence than they are about the young man who never got to go home.
Most of all, I want to know why every tragedy in America gets immediately sorted into racial teams.
Because if justice only matters when the person looks like us, then it was never justice we were after in the first place.
Let’s talk about it.

Smith during the presser today in Quebec "I think we have to be very clear that the people of my province are very upset with the way we've been treated for the last 10 years"
"An example I gave in my speech was, imagine if an Alberta politician had come here and tried to shut down your hydroelectric business and say you couldn't develop your aluminum industry anymore."
"That's what Stephen Guilbault did to our province, and that's the reason why people are so frustrated and why they lost hope."
"It costs jobs, it cost economic growth. It cost us our ability to generate revenues to pay for the things that we care about." @ABDanielleSmith
Poilievre makes the BEST point here
If Donald Trump is to blame for Canada being in a recession
WHY is no other country in a recession?
WHY is MEXICO not in a recession??
One Card. That’s it.
Starting July 2, Albertans can get a new driver’s licence or ID card that includes their healthcare number and proof of citizenship, all on one secure card at no additional cost.
No more flimsy paper cards. No more carrying multiple pieces of ID. Just a common-sense change that makes life easier.
@MarkJCarney You go first. Pull your daughter out of Harvard, sell your house in the USA, sell your stocks in American Companies, and get Brookfield to HQ in Canada again. I’ll take it seriously when you do!
