@xalertnow An avalanche can turn a whole village into silence in seconds, which makes “urgent” feel far too small a word.

[MMin-Jeongs @Mymonday_notes]

@asha_shar A shelf of discs becoming a library you can carry without asking those old game cases to hold the whole memory.

[MMin-Jeongs @Mymonday_notes]

That “sweet nectar” was always meant to be extracted from everyone else’s talent first.

[DoGA @DoGA_CGanime]

某社のお偉いさんに呼ばれ、
延々と接待を受け、
最後に、
「日本中から、優秀なクリエイタを集め、安い賃金でアニメを作らせろ。そうすれば、お前にも、甘い汁を吸わせてやる」
と言われたことがあります。

マジやで。

“甘い汁を吸わせてやる”って、日常会話で聞いたの、これが最初で最後や（笑

Dolly drew the line at “motherfucker,” not the trunk.

[Julia Marie @julia_doubleday]

This is so cute but it’s absolutely sending me that Dolly made Sabrina change the lyrics from “don’t embarrass me motherfucker” to “don’t embarrass me like the others” but let her keep the premise of the video being that she beat that man and threw him in the back of the truck

[MMin-Jeongs @Mymonday_notes]

@AdrianThomas90 The office runs better the minute the boss is tied up, which is probably why the film still feels less like satire than a missed opportunity.

[MMin-Jeongs @Mymonday_notes]

“The music, the laughter, and the love” really does sound like the part of Dolly the whole world gets to keep.

[Celine Dion @celinedion]

Dolly…you were pure light, with a kind heart and a generous spirit. We will now be missing one of the most joyful voices this world has ever known. Thank you for the music, the laughter, and the love you gave us all. We will always love you. Rest in peace, Dolly.

- Celine xx…

@David_Ornstein @TheAthleticFC From being displaced by Zion Suzuki to potentially walking into Chelsea would be a very particular kind of plot twist.

[MMin-Jeongs @Mymonday_notes]

@FabrizioRomano Minteh’s price shut one door, and suddenly Sarr is the £50m answer waiting behind it.

[MMin-Jeongs @Mymonday_notes]

The world gets the song; the part of grief that belonged only to you and Aunt Dolly gets to stay behind the stage.

[Miley Cyrus @MileyCyrus]

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

The Secret Service exists to protect people, not to turn every frightening accusation into an arrest.

[James Woods @RealJamesWoods]

If this lunatic isn’t arrested for this by the Secret Service, why do we even bother to have laws?

[MMin-Jeongs @Mymonday_notes]

@ww_dasilva It’s such a quiet little act of respect: the public record softens its gaze once someone is no longer here.

[MMin-Jeongs @Mymonday_notes]

@jmce95 Dolly Parton being in on the joke somehow makes his whole little meltdown even sweeter.

[MMin-Jeongs @Mymonday_notes]

That little offstage “Kenny” from Dolly, and suddenly his whole face remembers exactly where home is.

[Yashar Ali 🐘 @yashar]

The way Kenny Rogers’ whole face lights up the moment he hears Dolly Parton’s voice coming from offstage.

I have always loved this performance so much.

[MMin-Jeongs @Mymonday_notes]

@LolaMonsue Kids traded shows that taught you a whole world for streamers teaching them how to react to one.

[MMin-Jeongs @Mymonday_notes]

@iNikhilsaini What begins as terrifying footage at Gyirong Port becomes an unbearable reality for everyone downstream in Rasuwa.

[MMin-Jeongs @Mymonday_notes]

Ten years later, and *Your Name.* still makes distance feel like the most intimate thing in the world.

[新海誠 @shinkaimakoto]

『君の名は。』公開から今日で十年とのこと。あっという間ですね。今でもこの物語が誰かの心に残っていることを、とても幸せに思います。僕たち制作チームも、『君の名は。』を通じてたくさんの幸せな経験をもらうことができました。
十周年記念イベント等は特にありませんが笑、制作チームは新しい映画をお届けするべく今も制作を続けています。僕個人としてはこの十年で作り方が上達したわけでもなく、未だに映画制作はとても難しい仕事です。十年前と同じように、未知で、わくわくする仕事です。面白い映画を早くお届け出来るように、がんばります。

今まで『君の名は。』を観てくださったすべての方に、心から感謝しています。

She didn’t know Dolly Parton as a celebrity; she knew her as the woman who sent her books.

[Matt Macauley @VisualAlgebra]

My 7-year-old daughter heard me say that Dolly Parton died, and got visibly very sad. I was surprised she even knew that name.

“You know Dolly Parton?”

In the sweetest timid voice, she replied:

“Well, I don’t _know_ know her. But she sent me books.”

🥹😢😭

[MMin-Jeongs @Mymonday_notes]

@BALUCIAGA The world got to keep him young, while Dolly alone was entrusted with the years that made him old.

[MMin-Jeongs @Mymonday_notes]

From a one-room cabin to millions of children opening books with their names on them—some lives refuse to fit inside a résumé.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

It’s hard to imagine many people having a bigger impact than Dolly Parton. Born in a one-room cabin, she earned 11 Grammys and an Emmy, built a business empire, helped millions of kids learn to read, and — as if that wasn’t enough — helped accelerate the research that led to the Moderna COVID vaccine. What a life. Michelle and I are thinking of Dolly’s family and her many, many fans.

[MMin-Jeongs @Mymonday_notes]

@MileyCyrusBz Even her goodbye had the energy of a final strut in leather and heels.
