Here's the official announcement of Parton's passing from her reps, along with the request that in lieu of flowers, the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at www.imaginationlibrary.com

NASHVILLE, TN (August 25, 2026) – 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 www.dollyparton.com. In lieu of flowers the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at www.imaginationlibrary.com.

They didn’t work for him? And he wasn’t married? And the ethics committee in _this_ Senate cleared him of wrongdoing? So basically the headline is “Republicans Claim Men are Too Feminine, But Democrats Actually Do Date Women After All”

“In his Instagram post, Encina thanked Gomez, the Getty photographer, whose presence on the train he said was ‘quietly reassuring.’ In the interview, he said seeing a photographer there gave him some comfort because someone was documenting what was happening.”

My interview: “I came to this country as an infant and became a U.S. citizen,” Roswell Encina said. “So sitting there, on the Fourth of July, I couldn’t help but think about the promise of America and the work still required to protect it.” www.advocate.com/news/people/...

I feel like I’m going insane, the degree to which politics and yes the media completely made this up. The anti gay marriage panic I got, there were a ton more gay people who wanted to get married, this thing is not a thing

a) there are, like, single digit trans girls in sports in most states (sometimes literally one!), this entire thing is made up so that one girl who wants to play sports with her friends can't do it b) do not, under any circumstances, make policy based on angry sports parents

I am absolutely convinced that for American masculinity to staunch its downward spiral of limp idiocy, more men need to feel comfortable doing girlie shit. Like, join a ladies group chat about Off Campus, it’ll help. You need to get that stuff out to survive mentally. Look at horror filmmakers…

The dilemma of the military dudes to either catch him when he inevitably falls or flop around like flounder as if one is actually SUPPOSED to fall in this very specific circumstance actually and it's what true alphas ACTUALLY do ACTUALLY

1. Big day over here at Sunscreen HQ. For the first time in more than 25 years, the FDA has approved a new sunscreen filter: bemotrizinol aka BEMT. This filter has been approved for use in Europe since 1999.

5/ For five straight days, she laid in a hospital bed, waiting for her situation to get dire enough that doctors — and the hospital's lawyers — would act.

She Faced a Life-Threatening Miscarriage. Under Arkansas’ Abortion Ban, Even Calls to the Governor’s Office Didn’t Help.

Her case shows how abortion bans have left hospital lawyers, not doctors, deciding who gets care — and how lawmakers and regulators have failed to change that.

I would have hoped by now that some dude would have written an op Ed about how straight women’s reaction to Bad Bunny - a man at peace with himself, emoting publicly + queer culture - underscores that the Manosphere bros are performing heterosexuality for other men and have no idea what women like.
