I'm sorry, but "now"? This has been a thing for at least half a decade. Are you Encino Man? Did you just wake up?
I have not been in a coma but....
I could possibly be the least aware person you've ever had a conversation with, digital or otherwise.
I used to have "weekends" that rotated to different two-day sets every year. One year I got Wednesday and Thursday. I told my wife, "It's not so bad. At least Thanksgiving falls on a Thursday this year. I checked." She looked at me and said, "Thanksgiving is on a Thursday every year." I was over thirty. Had no idea.
She's a very patient woman.
Ha! They must have missed the billboards, front page newspaper articles, TV reports, and public service annou- oh wait.
