It's odd. Sometimes, you remember someone you used to work with. You Google them and there's either no reference to them at all, or they're only mentioned in the context of the job you did with them 20+ years ago. No social media accounts, no subsequent references, nothing.
And then there are the old colleagues who were very active online for years, diligently maintaining their internet presence - websites, social media accounts, youtube channels, and then one day, inexplicably, it all stops.

The older I get the better I am at picking things up with my toes then lifting my leg up, simply because I couldn't be bothered bending all the way down to pick things up from the floor.

If humans were the result of intelligent design, we'd be able to detach our arms when we go to bed. They just get in the way. It's like sharing the bed with two insomniac geese.

This is no reflection on Wonka specifically, but...
FFS: Invest. In. New. Stories.
The last 30 years have seen remake after remake after reboot after prequel after spin-off.
So much of mainstream culture has become creatively timorous yet rapacious in its goal to milk intellectual properties dry.
Modern mainstream culture sometimes feels like a karaoke bar. Actually, an ouroboros in a karaoke bar. A never-ending cycle of consuming and re-consuming itself.

I've never been interested in stamps... but then I saw this new Swiss CHF 1.10 stamp.
It's not just a photographic reproduction: "To give the concrete wall depicted in the design a tactile dimension, cement pigments were added to the ultra-matt finish."
I think I'll pop out later and buy a few.
Switzerland continues to have a history of great #graphicdesign!
