Magawa, a rat who sniffed out over 100 land mines and other explosives in Cambodia over a yearslong career, has died.

The charity that awarded him with a gold medal for his lifesaving contributions noted that "his legacy will live on for decades to come." https://t.co/smtmeZvknF pic.twitter.com/8sT5VHocxO

Gary Waldhorn, who most of you know as David from the Vicar of Dibley but I typically know as a very varied jobbing actor including Hammer House of Horror, Whodunnit, Space 1999 and Crown Court. And obviously his recurring part as Viscount Biscuits in Bosom Manor.

We’ve lost one of the few remaining OG leaders of the American Indian Movement, who took back Wounded Knee in 73 & was involved in virtually every other battle we’ve waged since.

Terry Teachout. I haven't read much of his work, but I liked his Duke Ellington biography (a lot of others didn't; it was deemed insufficiently reverent).

He was a really good and important theater critic (longtime for The Wall Street Journal). Often reviewed outside of NYC and outside of hyped/commercial theater.

Great Real Names, Teachout I'll Be There etc.

[Diva is fantastic, finally picked up a Blu Ray, one of my most watched films back in VHS days]

jean-jacques beneix

i rewatched diva a few months ago for the first time in many years -- with a friend who'd never seen it before. she LOVED it and tbh so did i stlll, even tho i can also now see it's WILDLY problematic lol

xp Bofill’s work also figures prominently in the Terry Gilliam film “Brazil.”

sorry i missed that josefa already posted JJB bcz i spelled his name wrong when searching 🙄

i used to love betty blue, not sure if that one’s worth revisiting

oh wow, Bofill! his office's stuff was really my jam in architecture school. their office/studio outside Barcelona, in an old cement plant, is a stunner. also the Walden 7 housing complex right next door, the Muralla Roja estate by the sea...

shit. RIP

i highly recommend The Gospel According to Andre - its on hbomax & while not entirely revealing it is def fascinating

Also, here's a really good interview he did with Elvis Mitchell a few years back.

Marty Roberts, from the LA bar duo Marty & Elayne

From a board vet

I remember being at the taping of this Mr. Show episode, and when Marty & Elayne made a tiny cameo in one of the sketches (around 5:05 here), the audience went nuts. A quietly defining moment of late ‘90s Los Angeles!https://t.co/Ua7ON4nGky

Andre Leon Talley seems exactly the type to haunt your funky asses, so I hope y'all made amends. ✌🏿

I was personally offended on ALT’s behalf (having worked with him) that the person who played ALT in Gucci was clearly too small to be ALT. RIP to another man who was larger than life.
