My earliest memory of Princess Di is the commemorative Beanie Baby coming out at the height of the Beanie Baby craze (which if I remember correctly was not too long after she died). Weird to remember her death by a cultural artifact / toy created in response to it.
Every time I see a clip from SNL lately it's been borderline offensive and/or unfunny so I always appreciate you pointing out the ones you did like as I often like them too!
I vividly remember sitting in my great aunt and uncle's living room on Lookout Mountain. A bunch of cousins were in town for Labor Day weekend, and we were having a big meal together. We kids had the TV on, watching something I can't remember, and then the "ABC News Breaking News" flashed across the screen right as my younger cousin was turning the TV off. "Julie!" I shouted, "Turn the TV back on!" She did, and we saw what had happened and reported it to our parents, aunts, uncles, who were definitely more devastated than I was. I felt more shocked than sad. I'll never forget that day, though!

Soon as The Smiths played on Fassbender’s antique headphones, I thought “where am i? In some bro’s college dorm room?” lol
