His voice made for the best songs of it too. Real shame.

RIP FYAD. Lowtax says that he is closed the forum for good because they were being nazis and/or edgelords.

21 years, all those shitposts will be lost to time. Like queers in a game, time to die.

Reports coming in that Buck Henry passed at 89, noted screenwriter and sometimes performer, who wrote the screenplay for "The Graduate", co-created "Get Smart", among others.
OK, also the screenplay for the 1968 film "Candy", based on an "unfilmable" sex farce novel by Terry Southern. They all couldn't be winners, but anyone who has seen "Candy" would agree with Henry's assessment as recorded in a LIFE Magazine article.

I remember him as Colonel Korn in the 1970s Catch-22 movie.

Neil Peart is FUCKING DEAD.

Fucking hell. This one hits hard for me. Rush is one of my favorite bands.

Sad news. His first wife died of cancer in 1998, months after their daughter died in a car crash in 1997. Leaves behind a wife, and a daughter that is only 10 years old

RIP to the reason I started drumming. May he rest well.

He retired in 2015. Meaning he only got 1 hood year before his cancer battle.

Grew up listening to rush and have moving pictures on vinyl. Sad.
Rest in peace Neil

RIP to the reason I started drumming. May he rest well.

He is my biggest drumming influence (and he got me into playing a large kit). He was just so amazing and talented. How many other drummers do you know that actually write music?

A couple, but more often than not they come with the weaker material.

RIP Toba. I have seen her many times every year since she arrived to the zoo in 1975 (yes, I'm really old), before my earliest memories. She had five children through the years and got to see them, too. I'll be honest, this is soul crushing.

OKC Zoo Mourns Toba, Oldest Zoo-Born Sumatran Orangutan in the U.S.

A beloved member of the Oklahoma City Zoo’s animal family, Toba, a 52-year-old, female, Sumatran orangutan, was humanely euthanized on Saturday, January 11, 2020, at the Oklahoma City Zoo’s Joan Kirkpatrick Animal Hospital. Born in 1967 in Germany’s Nuremburg Zoo, Toba was the oldest zoo-born...

Philosopher Roger Scruton is now gone. I suggest seeing his Why Beauty Matters documentary on youtube. (It's about an hour long, but it's worth it.)

Former pro wrestler Rocky Johnson, the father of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson passed away today aged 75

 

[Judge Holden]

Christopher Tolkien, chairman of the Tolkien estate and the one who edited and published vast tracts of his father's unpublished notes and stories from Children of Hurin to The Fall of Gondolin, and a scholar and author in his own right, passed from this world today at the age of 95, and has gone to the halls of waiting to sit beside his father until the world is renewed.

Aside from his unparalleled contribution to the Tolkien lore and backstory, he was also the single most dedicated figure in preventing his fathers work being devoured completely by the hollywood machine. We can only hope his successors are just as vigilant.
