"It costs a lot of money to look this cheap." One of my favourite Dolly quotes. Rest in power. Your philanthropy will live on. One of the largest was buying millions of books for poorer children and funding the Covid vaccine when no one else was.

Dolly Parton gave the world unforgettable music and a beautiful example of using her gifts to serve others. Through the Imagination Library, she helped Arkansas children dream beyond their circumstances. Her talent made her a star; her generosity made her a light. Rest well, Dolly. 🕊️

The Empire State Building went pink at exactly 9:25pm for Dolly Parton. Because of course they made it 9 to 5. That’s how you honor an icon. 🩷

Amazing
In the week after the June 24 primary election for mayor, I was determined to meet with voters in conservative neighborhoods where
Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani (D-Astoria), a democratic socialist, had performed surprisingly well. In a Howard Beach precinct where Mamdani won, I met a couple who, despite being conservative, voted for Mamdani because they bizarrely thought he had run "to the right" of former Gov. Andrew Cuomo and also believed he was Italian-American, as his name ended in an
"'" and he was from Astoria.
When I dug further into why they thought he was running "to the right" of Cuomo, they noted that it was because he discussed "prices" and
"cost of living," as Donald Trump had in 2024.
They both voted for Trump. They had a hard time believing Mamdani was a socialist because they believed socialists "support making everything more expensive. 1"
