Curiosity

Kevin Fret, an apparent icon for the LGBTQ+ community was gunned down in Puerto Rico, at age 24. I didn't know who this person was until today, but it's still very disheartening to hear about someone so young being killed. Still trying to discern what sites you guys believe to be credible sources. Hoping the New York Times will suffice. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/10/us/kevin-fret-dead-puerto-rico.html

I never thought my first post on the forum would be something like this, but since no one has thought to report it yet, Stephen Hillenburg, Creator of the world famous cartoon Spongebob Squarepants, has passed away at the age of 57. I'm american, so I wasn't quite sure what news source to link. Hopefully the New York Times will suffice. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/27/obituaries/stephen-hillenburg-spongebob-squarepants-creator-dies-at-57.html A sad day for cartoon fans. I was a early 2000's kid, so his cartoon is what I grew up on. I can remember watching episodes with my siblings when I was younger, and quoting them as a teen. To this day we all sing "Santa's coming tonight, tonight!" every Christmas eve. Apologies if this isn't the right thread to post such a thing in (This is also my first experience with a forum). Either way, he will be missed.
