I love how dry Brimley is.

[JambaClock]

that talk about Brimley reminded me of a cracked article with this image

We were in a Cracked article once, thanks to a meme I made.

Then I got banned for trolling the forum.

Then i found out a person i knew worked on the editorial team.

I asked her if she could attribute the meme to Renegade instead of <deleted> since I used his art.

She obliged.

That's the story.

this one hit me a lot harder than I would have thought

Chadwick Boseman, star of Black Panther, Marshall, Get On Up, 42, and Da 5 Bloods has privately been fighting colon cancer for the last 4 years. He died today at the age of 43


fuck.

[Slurpee]

fffff man I'm really bummed out
can't file this one away easy

it feels the last 3 years or so have been conditioning me not to put value on celebrities, right?
and I've been getting reeeeal cynical about movies "inspiring" people and corporations holding up their products as "representation" and "giving heroes to people who don't have them"

then reality hits you with a real one

dude bulked up to play a superhero twice while fighting cancer and didn't breathe a word
he was dying and spent his last years being the best version of himself that he could be
and he did inspire people
and he did give heroes to people who didn't have them
imagine that? a kid from oakland walking around believing in fairy tales

and, it feels trite to talk about his talent, but it's like when phillip seymour hoffman died and I suddenly realized, I haven't seen everything he was in, but everything I saw him in, he was excellent
but you're not thinking about it because he was still so young, it felt like he still had so much to give

43 years old. fuck
I hope he knew how much he meant

[JambaClock]

oh he sure will

just look at all the twitter posts 'bout how much 2020 SUCKS because he's dead

[Slurpee]

oh he sure will

just look at all the twitter posts 'bout how much 2020 SUCKS because he's dead

he wouldn't have known about that, since it's happening in the present after he is already dead
he also will probably not know about it in the future, because generally when people die they then remain dead

but thank you for the update about what's happening on twitter

[PhantomCatClock]

in true Chad fashion that guy looked so good I just assumed he was a thirty year old athlete with no problems he hadn't already overcome

[pop-tart]

Holy fuck.
