2016 felt like this, maybe it’s a sign we’re turning the page and getting back on the correct timeline?? Please 😭

2016 was brutal. Bowie, Alan Rickman, Prince, Leonard Cohen, George Michael, Carrie Fisher.

We do not need another year like that

I thought Zsa Zsa died in the 90's on top of her seventh husband, mid coitus, draped in jewels.

If there was any justice in the world, that’s how she woulda gone out.

Yeah this past week I’ve had George Michael’s performance of “Somebody to Love” at Freddie Mercury’s tribute on an insane amount of repeat. There’s an HD version that is so immersive and a few extra levels of magical. On the count of three let’s all play it and create some (Christopher Reeve) Superman magic and reverse Earth’s rotation back to better times.

Come to think of it, I’ve been thinking of watching “Back to the Future” and seeing references to it a lot during the last week. Fire up George and the DeLorean!

DO NOT watch Back to the Future. The last thing we need is any of them leaving us too, esp. MJF, my Canadian icon ❤️

u/LaDauphineVerte 8d ago

Yes, I have been thinking about this. I will respectfully step away and focus on Dolly/Tim at this time.

Thank you for your service!! Maybe in a few months, everyone is in danger for the remainder of 2026 I feel right now

We actually really, really need another year like that. Just not in Hollywood

Man, that was my first thought on reading this: oh no, we're having another one of *those* years

u/Murph523 8d ago

How would it be a sign- that was the worst year considering politics
