On the TV show "Northern Exposure", the character of Holling Vincoeur believed he might carry evil genes because his

ancestor from centuries ago was so horrible that the date of his death was still celebrated as a holiday in some parts of France.

We're gonna have a ***BUNCH*** of such holidays in our future.

To keep things simple, we should plan on giving them simple descriptive names like:

Dead Trump Day

Dead Murdoch Day

Dead Vought Day

Dead Hegseth Day

Dead Gabbard Day

Dead Noem Day

Dead Bondi Day

Dead RFKJr Day

Dead Burgum Day

etc.

etc.

etc. etc. etc.

Should provide lots of commercial opportunities for manufacturers of piñatas.


ETA: Couldn't forget Elon Musk Orbital Escape Velocity Day !

coming to him, I'd hate for the countless Americans who share his last name (maybe as many as a million or more) to be even more horrified and publicly shamed.
