More than anything, Dolly very loudly and proudly, with her words and actions, gave a fuck about people. Giving a fuck is really what it's about.

Dolly Parton's Imagination Library gifted more than 332,000,000 books since it was first created 31 years ago.

The doctor who delivered Dolly Parton in a one-room Tennessee cabin in 1946 was paid with a sack of cornmeal. Her father farmed other people's land and could not read or write. Eighty years later, the reading program she built in his name has mailed more than 300 million books.

She wrote "I Will Always Love You" on the same afternoon she wrote "Jolene," as a goodbye to Porter Wagoner, and released it in 1974. Elvis wanted it. The night before the session, Colonel Tom Parker called and said Presley would only record it if they got half the publishing, meaning half of everything the song ever earned. She had been in Nashville ten years by then. She said no, and cried all night. Whitney Houston cut her version in 1992, held number one for fourteen weeks, and Forbes later put Parton's royalties from it near $10 million. She put some of that money into an office complex in Nashville and called the place the house that Whitney built.

Dollywood opened in Pigeon Forge in 1986 because she wanted paychecks in the county she came from. Around 4,000 people work there now. Three million visitors come every year. The University of Tennessee put its economic impact at $1.8 billion, and it is the largest employer in Sevier County. Since 2022 the company has paid tuition, fees, and books in full for every worker from their first day, seasonal hires included.

Wildfires tore through those mountains in November 2016, killing fourteen people and destroying more than 2,400 buildings. Her foundation was handing out money within 48 hours. Every family that lost a home got $1,000 a month for six months, regardless of income. The final check was $5,000. Total delivered: $8.9 million.

In April 2020 she sent $1 million to Vanderbilt for coronavirus research. When Moderna's vaccine results ran in the New England Journal of Medicine that November, her fund appeared in the footnotes.

Carl Dean, her husband of nearly sixty years, died in March 2025. The note she wrote to fans afterward ended with the same five words she wrote for Porter Wagoner back in 1974. She died in Nashville today. Her family asked that instead of flowers, people give to the Imagination Library, which still mails 3.4 million books a month to children who will never get to meet her.

There's thousands of people who live on the streets in BC. We have some of the highest levels of income inequality and a fentanyl crisis killing more people every single day.

This is not only an environmental disaster but a middle finger to humanity itself

[Leisure Suit Larry Summers @warmandpunchy]

It's cool that everyone thought he meant "housing" when he said this throughout the election campaign. Just goes to show you should always double check

[Avi Lewis @avilewis]

Il est temps de construire des logements abordables, un réseau national d'épiceries publiques, des autobus électriques et un réseau d'énergie propre est-ouest. Pas d'immenses centres de données d'IA construits par des entreprises sans aucun débat démocratique.

De plus, il n'y a pas de véritable souveraineté des données dans un écosystème d'IA dominé par les géants technologiques américains. Telus a beau être une entreprise canadienne, elle a déjà transféré 14 pétaoctets de données canadiennes sur Google Cloud dans le cadre de sa stratégie d'IA.

Cette technologie entraînera des changements radicaux à une échelle et à une vitesse sans précédent. Les Canadiennes et Canadiens méritent un véritable contrôle et un cadre réglementaire solide avant d'aller de l'avant.

C'est pourquoi nous demandons un moratoire immédiat sur la construction de tout nouveau centre de données d'IA jusqu'à ce que des garde-fous fédéraux solides soient en place.

Nous ne pouvons pas rester les bras croisés et laisser les milliardaires des grandes entreprises technologiques décider de notre avenir.

And by "wokeism" she means universal health care.

[Back On This App and It’s Still Hell @wickdchiq]

You’re witnessing the defunding of public healthcare for private health. Please note that private healthcare also uses public funds so these provincial governments are double-dipping in public funds to finance a system many people can never access

[Nora Loreto @NoLore]

If you read my latest book Corporate Control, you will discover that this post-war boom was only possible because of progressive taxation and far lower profits.

.@MarilynGladuSL the latest MP to cross the floor to the @liberal_party in Jan 2022 in full support of the Freedom Convoy.

What exactly does this government under @MarkJCarney stand for?
