The Google version of the internet decided that I should understand Jerry Springer brought us this girl who said cash me outside and now she is some sort of a pop star named bhad bhaby. After the day I've had here, this is enough to make me give up on sending a large group of the other humans to Mars and decide to go to another planet myself. Is there another hospitable planet I would like? Please make it one with cool weather.

A bit late in being posted as he died in May 2020, but this recent editorial cartoon is what brought it to my attention: Charles Saunders. Black journalist and author of "Imaro", what may have been one of the first Afro-centric sword-and-sorcery fantasy novels.

Andre Braugher, who I know best as Captain Holt from Brooklyn Nine Nine, died yesterday at 61.

Shannen Doherty, 53

I believe she's had a decade long battle with breast cancer. She must have really fought to have survived so long but she's still so young! I never watched Charmed but thought she was awesome in Heathers and Brenda Walsh was my favorite character on 90210. An idiosyncratic opinion, apparently, but I love Brenda.

a few guys at work did not know who he was. At least one of them has never seen star wars or lotr.

I feel like I found a people group that has been isolated from the rest of the world....

but then again I am 2 generations older than these babies, no hate, just enormous age gap and disbelief of naivete across many subjects of discussion(other than just star wars)

I know what you mean about coming across these pockets of people who have no idea about it... felt like it was my duty to expose my children to these ur-texts so that they could live the best life. But there are lots of problems with the text! It's all right, the main thing is they have it.

I had this same problem with my 23 year old son and his friend. No clue. "Darth Vader's voice?" Shrugs. "The bad guy in Conan?" The friend responded with "What's Conan?"
