I just heard that Congress passed a bill making October 14th a day of remembrance for a true hero, who sacrificed their life for the good of humanity. A sad, tragic death far before their time.

That said, it is kind of weird that Congress spend its time on a, let’s face it, minor media figure, what with all of the pressing issues of the day facing our nation, but that’s what they did. So, let’s do as Congress intended, and honor Charly Burke on October 14th.

Maybe with a big stack of pancakes.

    I never really liked her. They tried to give her a redemption arc bit it felt like she was just brought in to stir things up.

    For those unfamiliar with the fictional character of Charlie Burke, this McGuyver link doesn’t help.

    But, since that’s clearly a uniform from “The Orville”, this Charlie Burke may be more helpful.

    I like pancakes, and that this Charlie’s legacy examines racism in a thoughtful empathetic but still critical way.
