I think that people here also really did not want him to die, especially so soon. He was more-or-less universally admired, and not yet incredibly old. He also said that he'd try to direct from his house, so he clearly wanted to carry on and it seemed like he could.

A friend of mine and I were just discussing this song from Eraserhead before a class. "In Heaven (Lady in the Radiator Song)". Rest in peace to a real legend.

José "Cha Cha" Jiménez dead at 76. He founded The Young Lords, which started out as a gang and became a civil rights organization. Pretty important name here in Chicago.

I have some insight (that I can't prove whatsoever nor go deeper into so feel free to take this with a grain of salt) that's he's not nearly as healthy as he appears. Given what I know, I'm fairly confident that Paul will be the last of the four remaining. Regardless, I'd say both are on track to make it to 90, bar a serious illness or two.

Nolan Bushnell is turning 82 in February. Big name in early gaming history and fairly large.

It's my first year deadpooling, so I hope things work out in my favor (or maybe I don't?

Yoko Ono is an excellent return.

Biggest miss of 2024.

Now the oldest living US president is the incumbent. Crazy how that works out Rest easy Jimmy, a real G.

It seems like those whose sentences have been commuted only killed one or two people, whereas those who remain committed acts of mass murder with some kind of terroristic edge.

The Container Store files for bankruptcy, but the CEO maintains that they're here to stay. I guess people don't put as many things into things anymore.

He's clearly faking it. We ought to ditch this harlequin for 2025.

I never should've stolen that Hershey's Kiss when I was 7

I had the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to go see Paul McCartney (member of The Fireman) in concert last night at the Co-op Live Arena in Manchester. I travelled all the way across the pond for this show, and I was not disappointed. I had heard that he sounds terrible in concert now, but I have to say he did much better than expected. Even if he did sound a little rough at points, he's still a living legend and I'm incredibly fortunate to have seen him.

This is one fascinating dude. Really the whole history of Zion, Illinois is a hell of a story. Still a pretty strange place all these years later.

I recently had a dream in which I met Martin Lawrence of Bad Boys fame. Fun stuff.

Rest in peace to one of the gods of thrift store vinyl records

I agree. The Stanford Prison Experiment feels like a pillar of pop psychology stuff
