You might have already heard, but yes, today Stephen Hillenburg, creator of Spongebob Squarepants, has died. He was only 57 years old and died from ALS.
Spongebob Squarepants is probably the show that influenced me the most during my childhood. Comics aren't that common around here (Only a few years ago did I find out we have a dedicated comic book store in my town) and I only got my first Gameboy Advance with six. I'd get into more details, but I don't know the english episode names.

I just learned a few minutes ago that famed physicist Stephen Hawking has died at the age of 76. I admit that I'm not well versed in science or physics, and never read any of his work, but I always admired Mr. Hawking for the grace and dignity he possessed, and the strength to live a life with a disease that most of us, myself included, would probably have given in to. I also admired how he also was willing to have

Stephen died today.
Terrible news, I must say.
Ever in our hearts, he will stay.
Physics, he made many breakthroughs..
Hawking, his last name was.
Early in the morning, he peacefully went.
Never forget, the great science man.

He lived a good life, they would say.
A life worth living, a life well lived.
With a final breath, he left his body.
Keeping in mind that his mind is free.
I just wanted to share this with the world.
Not much, but a poem for the lost

So Stephen Hawking is dead. I mean, holy shit. out of all the deaths of well known people in the last three years, this has to be the most impactful yet. Very few people reach a legendary status like that man did, up there with Isaac Newton and Albert Einstien. RIP Stephen, you shall be missed. Oh so very greatly.

Stephen Hawking dead at 76.

He is with the angels now.

Stephen Hawking, who I believe no further elaboration on his many contributions to not only science, but getting the ever fickle public to actually care about science, sadly passed away today at age 76.

No word yet (from what I've heard at least) on the cause of death... but given the horrid degenerative disease he'd been fighting near all his life, I doubt we'll get any shocks once its made public.

The news coming out makes me think of "Captain Trips" and Stephen King's masterpiece "The Stand".

The opening to the tv adaptation from 1994 is the best opening to any tv movie or miniseries.

Opening to The Stand - "Don't Fear The Reaper"

He was 76 years old. It's amazing how he survived his disease long enough to inspire the world with his contributions to science and his sense of humour.

You'll be greatly missed, professor. Rest in peace.

"Look up to the stars, not down at your feet."

Thank you, Stephen Hillenburg. You gave everyone, adults and children alike, an amazing childhood. Rest peacefully, you goofy goober.

Yet another awesome video recommended to me by my good friend FlutterBrony. Only one way to sum this up: Stephen Hawking sings Monty Python.

Hello everypony, I have some bad news. Last night at the age of 76, great scientist Stephen Hawking passed away

I was sure I'd mentioned the Long Earth sequence in a blog at some point, but a quick search says nope.

Odd.

I'm sure you've been there, too: You're writing something, and you keep spending time on it, and every time you stop and check your wordcount, it hasn't changed much. Or, you spend most of your time working on the story by not working on it, instead sitting there and brainstorming and/or cursing various aspects of the story and/or yourself for just not getting it bloody written.

The second half totally lives up to its hype. The jumpscares, blood, gore, and various forms of Pennywise proves that Stephen King is one of the pioneers of writing horror stories. Despite the length of 2 hours and 49 minutes, it's good to know that it stayed faithful to the novel. If you watched the first one, I highly recommend checking this out. Heads up though, there are lots of flashing lights that might affect those with epileptic seizures.

For without him our idea on the nature of the universe would be so much smaller.

I have know for days of his passing, but I wanted everyone else to make their posts first. I wanted my voice to be heard, so I wanted not to be lost in the noise.
