George Wendt, actor who played Norm on Cheers, dies at 76 He was best known for playing Norm Peterson in the popular comedy series Cheers from 1982 to 1993.

Why Do We Still Love β€œThe Office”? The show’s enduring popularity, even during lockdown, says a lot about the place where we used to spend most of our time.

I think I recommend The Office US to someone at least once a week ❀️

Caitlin Moran’s column in Yesterday’s Times is about young men taking their own lived and why. And how men shld be encouraged to speak out, β€˜to talk, to cry, to scream’ rather than to β€˜man up’

β€˜Don’t man up….

Instead

β€˜β€¦talk, cry, scream’

This is so important & very poignant from @mscaitlinmoran.bsky.social on men taking their ow lives
