New York Times writer (formerly of Politico) Blake Hounshell appears to have committed suicide. There's a Times email circulating on Twitter that says he "has suddenly died this morning after a long and courageous battle with depression."

Adolfo Kaminsky’s talent was as banal as could be: He knew how to remove supposedly indelible blue ink from paper. But it was a skill that helped save the lives of thousands of Jews in France during World War II. https://t.co/Lz9bYs38D4— NYT Obituaries (@NYTObits) January 10, 2023

I was going to ask where to start with Simic; I know a handful of lyrics.
― Malevolent Arugula (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 10 January 2023 22:47 (one year ago) link
and, yeah, table, that was pretty fucking rude to an ILXer who also writes poetry. You could, like, explain why Simic's a mediocre or bad poet without insulting the poster.
― Malevolent Arugula (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 10 January 2023 23:01 (one year ago) link
And maybe better to do it in a poetry thread than here (although the spirit of Morbs in the room may disagree).

might have gone either way, whether table would use charles simic's death to establish his edginess by shitting on anyone who liked him vs. calling charles simic a dear friend whom none of you people truly understand
having chosen option one, he is truly, sincerely happy that you enjoy such dreck

Fuck's sake. Patti Boyd tweeted that Jeff Beck is dead. No other confirmation.
