Not Always Right: 15th Anniversary Month! – 2019 Retrospective
Dear readers,
It is time once again to delve into days past with our 15th-anniversary celebration! Today, we’re taking a look at 2019. This was the year UCLA gymnast Katelyn Ohashi went viral with an incredible floor routine that scored her a perfect ten. Grey’s Anatomy shot its fifteenth season, Greta Thunberg was TIME’s Person Of The Year, and we were introduced to Baby Yoda (or Grogu, if you’re fancy) and fell head over heels.
In 2019, NASA astronauts Christina Koch and Jessica Meir became the first to complete an all-female spacewalk. Scientists released the first-ever image of a black hole, which took two years to be put together.
2019 was the year of Avengers: Endgame, Once Upon A Time… In Hollywood, that completely cursed Cats movie… and the publishing of Not Always Right’s longest story to date, The Epic Of The Impossible Store, known around the comments and forums as “The Trash Room”!
Let’s take a gander at some of the other delights 2019 had to offer here at Not Always Right!
