I think what I love most about Dolly is that she rejected the bigotry and hate by expressing her southern pride through kindness, generosity, and humility 💔

By almost any measure Dolly embodied "the American Dream." Some people will come from nothing and make it big and consider the problem now solved. Others will remember that there are still others with nothing and use what they have to help.

Was Pope Leo specifically calling out Tolkien-loving tech bros Peter Thiel and Elon Musk when he quoted Gandalf in an encyclical about the dehumanizing effects of technocratic society? The Vatican won't answer my emails, but the billionaire's hopeless misreads certainly called for a correction:
