“I’m not offended by all the dumb blonde jokes because I know I’m not dumb… and I also know I’m not blonde.” – Dolly Parton. #BOTD ready for a thread. #DollyParton

One of Dolly Parton's earliest singles (which she didn't write) was "Dumb Blonde." She knew going in who she was, what she wanted to look like, how she was perceived, and she was never anybody's fool about it. #DollyParton https://t.co/Ufj8MYNKJj
I love Dolly Parton's stuff with Porter Wagoner. (I love her in duets, in general - but these, in particular, have an intensity and sincerity you can feel.) Here they are performing "We Found It". Heart-piercing. #DollyParton https://t.co/BoKuNGw3MH
Speaking of Dolly and Porter, the Drunk History episode about this collaboration and breakup ... is hysterical. He loves her so much. He slaps the table at the end! I love people who care this much about things. https://t.co/eHCOt2uiI7
A compilation of Dolly singing "Seeker" on different occasions. it's one of my favorites. #DollyParton

I've said this before: I don't have artistic "litmus tests" for people in terms of friendship. Relationships are more important than that bullshit. But if you don't like Dolly? If you lead with a crack about wigs/boobs/surgery? We will never ever be friends. Bye.
This clip keeps disappearing from YT, so watch it while you can. Dolly Parton joins Jerry Reed onstage to give the woman's side of things in his hilariously titled "She Got the Goldmine, I Got the Shaft." (I ship these two. I think THEY ship themSELVES.) https://t.co/WMbIJ84Hlx
Her recent "Lover Du Jour" is so great. She's got such a wonderful sense of humor about herself. I love the Wild West opening. And the sassiness. And how she laughs at herself in the end.

Here's the gorgeous duet she did w/Don Henley. Saw an interview w/her where she said she came into the studio and realized the song was a little bit higher than she expected. she really had to dig deep to get there. I love her honesty. And the result!

Mad props to Dolly for what she has created with her Imagination Library. I'm the daughter of a librarian. This is such a meaningful project. Life-changing.

Let's not forget how controversial some of her early songs were. Radios wouldn't play much of it. She wrote about tough topics. Sex, men. The double standard. Or “Down From Dover,” where she’s a woman waiting for the father of her unborn child to return. https://t.co/d1izrnR6Tn
The YouTube reactor community has discovered Dolly Parton. They are all blown away - particularly her "storytelling" story songs - and it is very moving. Here is my favorite. I love these twin brothers. They are so OPEN. To EVERYTHING.

Closing out this monster thread with: I visit this clip often. It is very emotional. When she walks into Paídi Ó Sé's Pub in Ireland, unannounced, causing a flurry of excitement, and does a little acoustic set. It makes me so happy my heart explodes.

There's a moment where she reaches out and touches guitarist Steve Cooney- and the look on his face looking up at her... the RESPECT there, but also the AWE that he is playing w/ Dolly. He has died and gone to heaven. 😭
AND on the flip side: HER respect of THEM. She's Dolly Parton. She's an international superstar. But they are her colleagues during this set - they are fellow musicians - and that's how she treats them. This is how it should be.
She has always had a direct channel to her audience. Nothing has interrupted that two-way current of love and identification and admiration. There aren't too many artists where I think "I AM GRATEFUL YOU EXIST." But I think it about Dolly. Often.
Dolly fans: your faves? Anxious days, let's spread some love.
I should have mentioned TRIO, the album with Emmylou Harris and Linda Ronstadt. It was on constant rotation among my group of friends in college. Perfect harmonies.

The Nashville Operation - A Battle in the War

A thread exploring the Nashville bombing in the context of the 2020 Digital War (via SolarWinds) against the United States perpetrated by our enemies, likely China, Iran and/or Russia.


SolarWinds Hack

A digital "Pearl Harbor" moment for the United States, whoever was responsible had access to the keys to the kingdom for months during 2020, including sensitive military infrastructure. This is war!

SunGard + SolarWinds

SolarWinds software company is owned by same company that owns SunGard, which essentially provides data center services. A secure place to host internet servers with redundant power and "big pipe" data connections.

SunGard Data Center

In Nashville, around the corner from their "big pipe" connection, AT&T. Like any data center, highly secure. Only authorized personnel can enter, and even fewer can access the actual server rooms. Backup generators are available in case of power failure.


If the SunGard hardware was being used to "host" critical command and control software related to SolarWinds, the US powers would be very interested in gaining special access keys that are stored on the hard-drives of specific servers.

ज्योतिषाचार्य अक्सर ग्रहों के दुष्प्रभाव के समाधान के लिए मंत्र जप, अनुष्ठान इत्यादि बताते हैं।

व्यक्ति के जन्म के समय ग्रहों की स्थिति ही उसकी कुंडली बन जाती है जैसे कि फ़ोटो खींच लिया हो और एडिट करना सम्भव नही है। इसे ही "लग्न" कुंडली कहते हैं।


लग्न के समय ग्रहों की इस स्थिति से ही जीवन भर आपको किस ग्रह की ऊर्जा कैसे प्रभावित करेगी का निर्धारिण होता है। साथ साथ दशाएँ, गोचर इत्यादि चलते हैं पर लग्न कुंडली का रोल सबसे महत्वपूर्ण है।


पृथ्वी से अरबों खरबों दूर ये ग्रह अपनी ऊर्जा से पृथ्वी/व्यक्ति को प्रभावित करते हैं जैसे हमारे सबसे निकट ग्रह चंद्रमा जोकि जल का कारक है पृथ्वी और शरीर के जलतत्व पर पूर्ण प्रभाव रखता है।
पूर्णिमा में उछाल मारता समुद्र का जल इसकी ऊर्जा के प्रभाव को दिखाता है।


अमावस्या में ऊर्जा का स्तर कम होने पर वही समुद्र शांत होकर पीछे चला जाता है। जिसे ज्वार-भाटा कहते हैं। इसी तरह अन्य ग्रहों की ऊर्जा के प्रभाव होते हैं जिन्हें यहां समझाना संभव नहीं।
चंद्रमा की ये ऊर्जा शरीर को (अगर खराब है) water retention, बैचेनी, नींद न आना आदि लक्षण दिखाती है


मंत्र क्या हैं-
मंत्र इन ऊर्जाओं के सटीक प्रयोग करने के पासवर्ड हैं। जिनके जप से संबंधित ग्रह की ऊर्जा को जातक की ऊर्जा से कनेक्ट करके उन ग्रहों के दुष्प्रभाव को कम किया और शुभ प्रभाव को बढ़ाया जाता है।
