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.

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.
