given that Tara Strong is now the Crypt Keeper I think that means she's immortal.

I regret putting a Tara Strong voice Crypt Keeper out in the universe because now it's gonna happen and it's gonna suck.

Yes, he wrote the story treatment for one of the last of the spaghetti Westerns, Keoma, and was in a lot of Italo-explotation flicks, including a flawed one I like somewhat better than most of those "post-atomic" Max Max and/or Escape from New York knockoffs, 2019: After the Fall of New York, laughable effects and all, and "Eastman" played a flamboyant mutant ape man.

 

Peter G. Neumann, computer science researcher who helped prevent computers from having security risks, died at the age of 93 on May 17th of this year.
For non-NYT subscribers (probably most of us), here's a nice write up from the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) on a guy with multiple PhDs, who once had breakfast with Albert Einstein, and was a master of puns:

He is sometimes credited with naming the "emasculated one-user Multics" that emerged at Bell Labs after AT&T withdrew from the Multics project. "My guess is that some AT&T lawyers eventually decided that the punned name (Unics) did not reflect well on the corporate image, and insisted that it be changed . . . to Unix," Neumann wrote in 2012. "It came a-pun a midnight clear."
