She was a poor (and poorly written) and less impactful substitute for Old Man Marley, but I still love the second movie. RIP pigeon lady.

Damn. I'm not a weeb or much of an anime/japan fan at all outside of some Junji Ito/Ju-On type ghost story shit, but to read the entire cast of a show is dead?

Herman Chernoff, appplied mathematician, statisician, and physicist, who invented Chernoff Faces, died at the age of 103, on July 6 of this year.

From the Stanford obit:

It was at Stanford in 1952 that Chernoff introduced what probabilists now call the Chernoff bound. The idea proved far more durable than its original application in hypothesis testing: generations later, it’s become a standard tool in computer science and electrical engineering, used to guarantee that the error rate of an algorithm stays acceptably small.

Now, that's pretty interesting.

I'll laugh so fucking hard if that obviously AI-generated photo of his "recovery" in the hospital is (obviously) revealed to be the fucking fake we all knew it was.

Oh please let it be true!!!!

I just read that the Governor of Kentucky, Beshear, was receiving calls that suggested McConnell has died.

So, until we're all proven wrong, the old turtle croaked.

Man that one hits. I've had a few Charvels over the years (mainly play Jacksons now) and love superstrats. Him and Grover are legends.
