robin williams say it ain’t so

WHAT NOOOOOO

My first thought was “Oh god, what terrible thing did he say?”.

Then I saw that the next post on my dash was also about Robin Williams, and while the main body of that post was even less informative, it was tagged “death tw”.

And I was like, “Oh”.

I checked Google News to make sure I’d understood it right. Here’s what I found.

Same here. And this is the article I found in the National Post (pretty good I thought, though scads of pictures if that’s a bandwidth problem  for you).

#watched a lot of his movies with my parents when we were first exploring popular culture #after living under a fundie Christian rock for years #fuck now I’ve gotta tell my mom #:( (nenya-kanadka)

After posting it, I went upstairs to tell my own mom. She’d already heard. When I went back to the living room, I tried telling my brother and found that he’d already heard too. Word gets around fast.

Mom and I have decided that we are going to watch Jumanji in his honour tomorrow, assuming we can figure out how to re-arrange the wires to get our currently unplugged VHS player hooked up again.
