SO excited about this one! @Boudreauxauthor has a story to tell, and it’s one I’ve been hoping he’d share for years. brandonbook.com/ The horrific murders of Lori Vallow and Chad Daybell has had Hidden True Crime exploring the minds of these criminals for years, but Brandon’s perspective and experience has always been the missing piece, because Brandon was never supposed to survive. His book, Unthinkable, is finally ready for pre-order. I cannot wait to understand his story more, and in his own words. brandonbook.com/ I’ve ordered mine.

💔💔💔

In line inside the Indiana Statehouse with @SusanHendricks. Oral arguments in Richard Allen’s appeal are this morning inside the Supreme Court Courtroom. @HiddenTrueCrime will have a full report later today. Stay tuned.

I’m kinda excited …

“You have to accept everything and everybody.” -Dolly I loved this woman. No one I’ve ever admired more. She changed the world. ❤️‍🩹🫶🏼 “I’ve created this and played it up — the makeup, the whole persona,” Ms. Parton said, alluding to her plastic surgeries as well as her colloquial “Dollyisms” in a 2002 interview with The Times. “But this isn’t all I am,” she added. “It’s not even most of what I am. Hopefully people can see beneath the hair to know there’s a brain, beneath the boobs to know there’s a heart and behind all the other stuff to know there’s some talent.” Empathy was a hallmark of Ms. Parton’s songwriting, perhaps nowhere so much as in “Down From Dover” and “Daddy Come Get Me,” harrowing Southern gothic ballads about teen pregnancy and how patriarchy blames and victimizes young women. The Partons were so poor that Dolly’s father had to pay the doctor who attended her birth with a sack of cornmeal. Ms. Parton may have grown up without plumbing, heat, electricity and other modern conveniences, but she always insisted that she also grew up happy, and that music offered her a refuge from want. She became the first person in her family to graduate from high school. She married Carl Dean, an asphalt contractor who shunned the limelight. The couple had met two years earlier, at a laundromat in Nashville, when Ms. Parton was 18, and he died last year. Time and again in her career, Ms. Parton reflected on her impoverished upbringing and how she followed her dreams to escape it. “I wanted to be free,” she told Rolling Stone in 1977. “I had my songs to sing, I had an ambition, and it burned inside me.” @nytimes nytimes.com/2026/08/25/arts/…
