When Dolly finally leaves us, she better fucking be lying-in-state at the Capitol so the country can mourn her loss. Because I'm not religious, but she's as close to deserving sainthood as a person can get.

Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.

7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.

Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description.

Her, Fred Rodgers, and........yeah, that's a short list. I'd add my grandmother there too, but nobody would know who I'm talking about.
What is this Levar Burton slander?
I sure as fuck wouldn't add either of my grandmothers, but I'll take your word for it on yours.
Classy, as always.
Where’s Musk’s donation? Oh, right, empathy is for wokies.
He was claiming he had a helicopter that couldn't land due to FAA rules or some stupid crap. Whatever happened to that? The tweet reminded me of a troll in a forum who everyone is ignoring and he keeps shouting he's being shadow banned because he's right.
FWIW, he did the same thing with those trapped Thai kids in the cave. Then claimed sour grapes and called the real rescuer a paedophile. This is his MO.

Seems unlikely.
There were plenty of private helicopters out there hauling emergency supplies in and people out as soon as the storm passed enough for them to land.
Unless musk's helicopter was trying to go it alone and getting in the way, instead of joining the coordinated effort, I'm gonna assume this is just another of his bullshit stories.

This seems incredibly likely knowing Musk and his history of being a galactic douchebag.
No less than Pete Buttigieg corrected him.
As much as I don't like him, he was supposedly donating starlink equipment to help with connectivity in the area. I'm sure it comes with a host of caveats and gotchas but it's something at least
I believe it’s musk is donating starlinks that were donated by donors.
Dolly Parton doing the work that Mike Johnson refuses to do.
Dolly Parton continues to do good things.
Dolly is a modern day Saint. One of the best to do it.
