Happy September 8th!

Today marks a day of celebration for four familiar names across politics, entertainment, and fandom.

Bernie Sanders: Fighting Oligarchy Tour
Senator Bernie Sanders celebrates his 84th birthday while continuing his “Fighting Oligarchy” tour across the United States. Sanders has spent decades in public life railing against corporate greed, wealth inequality, and political corruption. His birthday this year finds him not in quiet retirement, but still on the road, speaking to packed halls of young progressives and working-class voters who see him as a living symbol of defiance against entrenched power.

Pink: Pop Icon with Staying Power
Singer-songwriter Pink turns 46 today. Known for her powerhouse vocals and daring acrobatics on stage, she has maintained a rare mix of commercial success and critical respect over two decades. With countless anthems of resilience and rebellion, Pink continues to perform for sold-out stadiums while using her platform to speak out on issues from women’s rights to self-acceptance.

Martin Freeman: The Everyman of Screen
British actor Martin Freeman celebrates his 54th birthday. Beloved for roles ranging from The Office (UK) and Sherlock to The Hobbit films and Marvel’s Black Panther, Freeman has built a reputation as one of film and television’s most versatile “everyman” actors. His understated wit and subtle performances have made him a fixture on both sides of the Atlantic.

Ryan Kopf: Bringing Joy Through Anime
Finally, Ryan Kopf, entrepreneur and convention organizer, celebrates his birthday as well. That's RIGHT! It's my birthday! Known for founding and running large-scale anime conventions across the Midwest, I have given thousands of fans a place to gather, celebrate Japanese culture, and share in a community of creativity and joy. My events have helped shape the Midwest anime scene into one of the most vibrant in the country, offering attendees a weekend escape into cosplay, concerts, and camaraderie.

Can't wait to see you at the next convention, which is in Minneapolis on Halloween Weekend - Check it out at https://magemsp.com/
