Those of us that spend a lot of time on social media have been there: something pops up and it’s so out of nowhere, that your first thought is “I’m not believing this until I see it from multiple trusted sites.” Sadly, in 2020 we’ve had that feeling a lot. For many, the first time this year was at the end of January (The “Before Times”), when word trickled in that Kobe Bryant died in a helicopter crash.
For me, that type of moment happened on Friday night a little after 10 PM when I came across the AP tweet notifying the world of Chadwick Boseman’s passing.
