Pariah Posted February 4 Report Share Posted February 4 February 4th 1983: Karen Carpenter died from complications related to anorexia nervosa. I wish that she had been able to get the help that she needed. She was only 32 years old. She had such an amazing voice. Imagine how much more of The Carpenters' music we could have had if she had lived another 20 or 30 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unclevlad Posted March 11 Report Share Posted March 11 On this night in 2020, the NBA paused its season for 30 days. This was, for me and I suspect many others, the "ohmigod, it's real" moment...the coronavirus was something Really, Really Serious. It wasn't the first indication; the WHO called it a pandemic several hours before, and the Warriors had already announced their game on the 12th would be played without fans. But the entire NBA going on hiatus? Wow. Just......wow. That blew my mind. It became the straw that broke the camel's back, in the US; on the 12th, the next day, the NCAA cancelled the conference basketball tournaments, and thus, the men's basketball tournament...arguably the single largest event on the spring calendar. MLB shut down spring training. MLS and NHL announced pauses. But it was 4 years ago tonight when reality hit. Pariah 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
