James Cathcart, the current VA for James and Meowth, along with several other characters for the dub, is retiring from voice acting due to being diagnosed with cancer. (The other most well-known VA was Maddie Blaustein for Meowth, a trans woman, and Eric Stuart was the previous VA of James. He's always been Gary tho.)
It's mentioned to be advanced, with surgery not currently being an option due to the size and location of the tumor. (It's mentioned to be treatable tho.)
Tonight, count the stars and remember a trailblazer.
We’re saddened by the passing of celebrated #HiddenFigures mathematician Katherine Johnson. She passed away at 101 years old.
An America hero, Johnson’s legacy of excellence broke down racial and social barriers while helping get our space agency off the ground.
Once a “human computer”, she famously calculated the flight trajectory for Alan Shepard, the first American in space.
And when we began to use electronic computers for calculations, astronaut John Glenn said that he’d trust the computers only after Johnson personally checked the math.
As a girl, Katherine Johnson counted everything. As a mathematician, her calculations proved critical to our early successes in space travel.
With slide rules and pencils, Katherine Johnson’s brilliant mind helped launch our nation into space. No longer a Hidden Figure, her bravery and commitment to excellence leaves an eternal legacy for us all.
“We will always have STEM with us. Some things will drop out of the public eye and will go away, but there will always be science, engineering and technology. And there will always, always be mathematics.” - Katherine Johnson 1918 -2020
May she rest in peace, and may her powerful legacy inspire generations to come! What does Katherine Johnson’s legacy mean to you? Share in the comments.

The boot lickers really like to correct two points:
Breonna Taylor was not sleep when she was shot: true, she was awoken by the battering ram used to crash her door in at 1am.
Police didn't shoot first: also true. Kenneth shot an officer in the leg when they entered and, naturally, because they're all scared incompetent knobs, they responded in a hail of bullets, eight of which entered Breonna.
The cops claim to have knocked and announced themselves. This is a lie. No neighbors heard them announce themselves. Furthermore, they obtained a no-knock warrant specifically for the sole purpose of carrying out a drug raid by catching a drug dealer off guard and forcibly entering without warning (such as a knock and announcement). They wanted that specific warrant so much they misrepresented evidence to a judge to get it. So they did all that and got a warrant saying they did not have to knock or announce themselves and then just went on ahead and did it anyway? Cause they're just so polite?
They were also in civilian clothing and either not wearing body cams or had them turned off. So I'm not even sure how their word was just taken on all that.
They have indicted ONE cop for something that had nothing to do with her murder, it was for endangering the lives of OTHER residents by opening fire inside of an apartment complex.
A reminder that the person they were looking for, Breonna's ex-boyfriend, was already in custody at the time they murdered her.
A reminder that the mail investigator or whoever they claimed to get a tip from to get the warrant said they lied.
A reminder that the cops submitted an almost blank report with blatant lies, including that Breonna was not injured.
A reminder the prosecution tried to get Breonna's ex-boyfriend to implicate her in his crimes in April, after they had killed her.
A reminder that because of Breonna's case, no-knock warrants are no longer allowed in Louisville (but they knocked right?)
A reminder that the city settled out of court for $12M in the wrongful death suit, so they possibly feared losing in court and paying more.
