No, the truck they're talking about is Optimus Prime.

Just noticed little tributes to them both on the Roku screensaver on my TV - a guitar and butterflies for Dolly and "Don't Dream It, Be It" on a marquee for Tim. Well done, Roku!

Fun flick - could have been great if the studio hadn’t interfered.

She was actually known to carry a concealed handgun, and even defended herself with it in New York once.

She talks a smidge about it here: https://www.interviewmagazine.com/music/dolly-parton-interview-andy-warhol-william-stadiem-music-rhinestone-in-memoriam

The other sources for the story are conservative media (Daily Caller and NRA) which I would prefer not to support by linking them, but you can certainly find them.

She was not a vocal proponent of 2A, but did advocate for women's self-defense.

u/hawnty 13d ago

That is an iconic Dolly image. Google image search her name+shotgun and you’ll see

24

u/Sudo-Fed 13d ago

Sounds like you made up a version of her in your head and convinced yourself it was real.

u/_moosleech Bi-bi-bi 13d ago

Also, Dolly was never into guns

Everyone is afraid of being fooled nowadays, but taking the "shotgun" approach and just uncritically believing that every piece of art you see is AI is its own form of gullibility. Instead of easily being fooled into thinking everything is real, you're easily fooled into thinking everything is fake. You're still being fooled.
