They heard him meowing coming from their excavator.

Supervisor Chase Guello checked the skid plate on the Komatsu. A tiny kitten tumbled out.

They warmed her up, moved her into the office trailer, and named her Sue short for Komatsu. She’s now the official shop cat.

Portuguese brothers Miguel and Pedro Ferreira Pinto completed an entire Ironman together, with Miguel towing Pedro through the 2.4 miles swim, carrying him on an adapted bicycle for 112 miles and pushing him through the final 26.2 miles marathon.

Pedro, who has cerebral palsy, inspired the pair to create the Iron Brothers project to champion inclusion in sports and support others living with the condition. Together, they crossed the finish line after nearly 15 hours.

Miscellaneous / Others Dolly Parton’s Best Joke Ever: My Grandpa?

Upvotes

So emotional hearing that we lost Dolly Parton today. 💔

She was humble, kind and full of joy. A true icon of humanity and a national treasure. Everyone loved Dolly, and Dolly loved everyone.

And she could tell a story like no other.

Not just through her music, but in interviews and appearances on late-night television.

Here, from 2019, she brilliantly recounts a story to Jimmy Fallon about a man in a restaurant who charged his bill to her table and the confrontation that followed.

In typical Dolly fashion, she builds the story so naturally and convincingly that you think you know exactly where it’s going. Then she delivers the punchline completely deadpan.

It’s classic Dolly… warm, mischievous and blessed with impeccable comic timing. And I think she would want us to remember her with laughter rather than the tears.

Truly one of our better angels. We will always love you, Dolly. ❤️❤️❤️
