@mariashriver Sorry about all of this. Horrible.

@MissSassbox You couldn’t be more right.

In 1988 Dolly Parton pulled every 7th and 8th grader in Sevier County into a room and told them to pick a buddy.

She made them sign a contract.. if BOTH graduate, she hands you both $500. One fails, nobody gets paid.

The county dropout rate went from 35% to 6%.

She handed out the checks herself.

In 1989 she offered $500 to every kid in the county who wanted to go to the local college.

When Gatlinburg burned in 2016, she sent 900 families $1,000 a month for six months.

You've probably heard that part.

Here's the part you haven't:

The fund raised more than expected, so she showed up in May and handed every one of those families another $5,000 on top.

Then she quietly put $3 million into the recovery group that handles the years after the news trucks leave.

She built her county an entire hospital.

She played a benefit concert in 2007, Dollywood and the Stampede matched it, and LeConte Medical Center opened in 2010 with a birthing unit and a women's center in it.

In 2022 she started covering 100% of tuition, books, and fees for Dollywood employees.

Full-time, part-time, AND seasonal.

In 1991 she paid for a bald eagle sanctuary because the birds couldn't be released back into the wild, no press release.

And when Hurricane Helene came through here in Western North Carolina, she wrote a personal check for $1 million and her companies matched it.

She didn't owe North Carolina anything, but she helped us anyway.

She started the Imagination Library because her daddy couldn't read or write. Before he passed, he told her it was the most important thing she ever did.

Rest in Peace, Dolly 🇺🇸

Dolly Parton forever ❤️

A guy bought a $1,400 Samsung TV 2 years ago.

He watched Netflix. He watched YouTube. He thought the picture looked fine. He assumed that's just what a modern TV looks like.
His friend a home theater installer who's calibrated over 600 Samsung TVs came over to watch a movie. He looked at the screen for about 5 seconds and said:

"Your TV is fighting you right now. The picture mode is set to what Samsung uses under fluorescent showroom lights. The motion smoothing is making every film look like a daytime soap opera. The eco settings are dimming your brightness by 30–40%. Your sharpness is cranked to a level that's destroying detail instead of adding it. And your TV is taking a screenshot of your screen every few seconds and sending your viewing data to advertisers Samsung just settled a lawsuit with the Texas Attorney General over it."

"You paid $1,400 for this panel and you're getting maybe 40% of what it can do."

He changed 9 settings in 15 minutes. The picture looked like a completely different television.

Here are the 9 Samsung TV settings you should change immediately:

Catie’s story is truly inspiring—she’s achieved so much despite living with unpredictable seizures. A trained epilepsy service dog could give her the safety and independence she needs to keep chasing her dreams. Please share or donate if you can https://t.co/AYDD5iUh7I

@Cheering4Change Ask Putin what he may know about it?

[Stephanie Grubler @stefigrubler]

@MattBelloni @Lucas_Shaw Oh wait
Disney+
Never mind

[Stephanie Grubler @stefigrubler]

@MattBelloni @Lucas_Shaw Couldn’t this be contested by using the Sherman Antitrust Act as precedent? Sounds like a similar scenario?

[Stephanie Grubler @stefigrubler]

@Pontifex Hello. Big ask. Can you please ask your people to say a prayer for my sweet friend Heidi Van Buren Camposano? I think that boost would help her to overcome a Health-Crisis. She is loved by so many who are lifting her up. We need more support. Please and Thank You.

@buitengebieden @NYflightguy Princess Poppy!!!

@radar_online So William has a strained relationship with his brother, father, and maybe step-mother? Maybe therapy is the right choice?

[Stephanie Grubler @stefigrubler]

@Colonel_Myway @NYflightguy Thanks for a good cry. Big congrats to her. Also, nobody ever screams “I get to live in New Haven!”. lol

@ianbremmer Took me a minute. 😂

@Pogue @stouffers Right. How can I be eating bread that has no heft or density? How do they make something that looks like bread but isn’t?

Dear Ted,
Take 10% of the $2.8B breakup fee—roughly $280 million—and go hire the best investigative journalists in the world. Build a next-gen 60 Minutes. A better CNN.
Think of the revenge possibilities.

@DanielNMiller Kiss the ring. 😡
