    Somehow, 2026 managed to figure out how to suck even more…again…again.

    “Do not grieve. Soon…I will be one with the Matrix”

    This one hurts me a lot. He was my childhood, and hell, adulthood hero. He WAS the voice of most kids who grew up in the 80s and 90s. He was Optimus Prime, He introduced you to Voltron, He was Dr. Watson, he was Eeyore, He was Ramrod and the voice of the Saber Riders, He was a Rescue Ranger and a Gummi Bear, He was everything.

    When the Transformers live action movie came out in theatres I cried when I heard his voice again. The man was like a father figure to me.

    I’ll miss you Mr. Cullen.

      It’s not that.

      It’s that 50 years ago there was a fraction of “famous people” alive that we have now.

      Once Hollywood, etc grew exponentially, more people became famous. We all die. Ergo we will see a lot more frequent deaths like this as the new normal.

      It will get faster.

    The Reaper is not doing a good job by killing these worthwhile people with careers and lived honestly.

    Why wouldn’t the Reaper go after freaking Trump, George W Bush or so? They’re 80+
