Rot in hell.

Normally I'd say 70 was a bit early, but in his case it couldn't have happened too soon.

For Rush, 30 would have been about the right time.

(Got his show in 1980, you see)

Jessica Walter.

My first thought was "God, and she wasn't that old!" but she was 80. Guess the picture in my head is still Lucille Bluth in 2003.

I don't understand the question, and I won't respond to it.

My niece told me she's been "watching this old show called Friends and loving it, Joey is her favorite" and I complimented her choice of character and then shot myself in the face

I know this is just confirmation bias or whatever, but that's like the fourth time I've looked up somebody who was old and then they died less than a month later.

Sort of starting to freak me out.

Somebody figured out which book of old-timey racial slurs was Prince Philip's phylactery.

Actual quotes being run by major newspapers as samples of "Phil's finest"
- We don't come to Canada for our health. We can think of other ways of enjoying ourselves.
- I don't think a prostitute is more moral than a wife, but they are doing the same thing.
- When a man opens a car door for his wife, it's either a new car or a new wife.

Oh and
Boris Johnson said he "inspired the lives of countless young people".

lmao

I guess the one thing I can say to be a little fair to the guy is that for someone so steeped in ancient reactionary nonsense, his life's "work" (nice work if you can get it!) was to play second banana to a woman in power and he embraced that role wholeheartedly and without reservation for some 70 years.
