What exactly are we supposed to learn now? 😭

What Burundians are doing in Kenya is what Kenyans are doing in Europe and USA and they are called minimal/black jobs. You get paid in cash and they can be done without papers.

Goodbye Dolly.

[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

In lieu of flowers the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at https://t.co/arzrqInqJA

Aging population + rigid education system didn’t help.

@Market_Mind_ Firefox 2.3% gets a slice. Brave gets the “maybe next year” treatment. Classic.

The ability to do one hard thing for two hours without touching your phone is quietly becoming a superpower.

Almost nobody trains it anymore.

Mark Zuckerberg on why the people you surround yourself with matter more than you think

"The most important decision you're probably going to make if you're in college is who you surround yourself with, because you become like the people you surround yourself with"

"When you're in college trying to figure out what your circle is going to be, or evaluating different job opportunities... who are the people, even if they're peers, who in an alternate universe you would want to work for?"

"Because you think you're going to learn a lot from them, because they're values-aligned on the things you care about, and they're going to push you. They know different things and have different experiences that are more of what you want to become like over time"

"I think in general people are too obsessed and maybe not focused enough on the connections and the people who they're building relationships with"
