this doesn't even belong on this thread but i don't know where to put it. there was a guy i went to law school with and he lived near me. we would sometimes talk at the bus stop, he was really nice. after he graduated he took a rock climbing trip somewhere and he ended up falling from a boulder and he died from the head injury. he was a bon iver fan (i mean this was 2009) and the facebook page about his death had something about a bon iver song. since i don't have any reason to ever think of him but like once a year i run across a reference to bon iver, the idea of him dying has been replaced in my brain with "the guy from bon iver died." then i have to say to myself, "no, not him." i will persist in doing this until he dies for real or i die.

Judd Hirsch, because my partner and I were trying to remember his name after talking about Taxi and now I'm like 'shit, 85? please don't die before the year is out'.

I've mentioned her before, but still alive at 94 is Jane Withers, once a child star rival of Shirley Temple, and one of America's top ten box office attractions of 1938 and 1939.
She retired at age 21, back in 1947.

This year was such a blur that I didn't realize that Victor Skrebneski, the famed Chicago photographer, had died just this April.

Lee Grant is a hero for all times, and has outlived everyone who tried to destroy her career back in the 1950s by some margin.

What’s the difference between Larry Niven and Jeremy Piven
― is right unfortunately (silby), Thursday, 19 November 2020 14:20 (five years ago)
Jeremy Piven never wrote a pokerfaced hard-SF essay about how Superman could not fuck Lois Lane because his ejaculate would fire through the top of her skull like a machine gun
...that we know of.
