Mike Barnes, The Hollywood Reporter:

Chuck Norris, the martial arts champion and karate school teacher who jumped fist- and feetfirst into stardom with 1980s action movies like Missing in Action and the long-running CBS drama Walker, Texas Ranger, has died. He was 86.

Mekka Okereke, on Mastodon:

🚨Warning Black people!🚨

Another famous white person with trash views has died! Do not use their own words against them, or *moderators may be forced to ban you!🤡

Do not mention that “1000 years of darkness” is a white nationalist and great replacement dog whistle!

Don’t mention birtherism!

❌Bad: This racist dude was good at kicking people in the head.

✅Good: This great American hero was good at kicking people in the head!

❌Bad: Birtherism is a super racist movement that led to the alt-right, Project 2025, and where we are today.

✅Good: I like Walker Texas Ranger!
