I was never a fan of his show. IMO it was one of the first to trivialize (and then politicize) serious social topics and pit people against each other for ratings.
A pre-cursor to today's gotcha "journalism" practiced by so many.

Most people are talking about his legacy as a TV Host. It doesn't paint the full picture, and it's not the most flattering aspect of his life.
Phil Donahue was vocally anti-war, and brought his voice to places like MSNBC, where he kept showing up with other anti-war guests back when MSNBC was owned in part by GE (a premier American arms dealer, for anyone not keeping up) and everyone was going all in on the Iraq war. There was a memo leaked after he got fired from NBC that his anti-war views made him "difficult" for the network. Good. And if the memo suggests anything, it's that he was principled about it. He probably wasn't surprised it at least in part, cost him his job, I'm guessing.
I have to respect that.
I hope this post wasn't too political. I'm not even a cable news buff. I haven't had any meaningful TV in my house since the late 1990s, but I do remember snatches of what was happening at the time.

Not too long ago in a place far, far away (few threads down) I posted about Zig having a neat little feature of allowing digit separators but not C.
Well... today guys and gals... today is the day... that... all... changes!! BEHOLD... C23 introduced digit separators! And it's already supported by recent compilers. Dun dun dun.
The world may have AI, but C23 can now do 0xFE'DC'BA'98 for literals. So take that Rust!

That is a strange expression. The only other person I have ever heard use it, is my youngest son. And that was about 50 (yes, fifty) years ago.
