The Daily Spread: RIP Shad Gaspard, Return of the Cicadas + Other News of the Day

The big news of the day was the confirmation on the passing of former wrestling star Shad Gaspard who was swept out to sea. A universally beloved figure, Gaspard’s last moments were reportedly ensuring his son made it to safety. Rest in peace.

In lighter news, we will soon have another reason to barricade ourselves indoors. While we all are doing our best to keep Armageddon at an arm’s reach, the cicadas are preparing to throw their annoying little wrench into those plans by swarming us as they do every 17 years. Of course, this could also be a government ploy to disincentivize going outside.
