Andy Fletcher from Depeche Mode has died, only 60 year old ffs.

[Rhythm]

Dave Smith, one of the founding folks behind MIDI - passed away, aged 72

Difficult to think of where we'd be had MIDI not shown up when it did

The man, the legend, the entertainer Bernard Cribbins at 93. Rest in peace.

[Cloudane]

He had a good innings, but a very sad day indeed. RIP

[Deckard]

Not really the place but this local story just made me feel so angry and sad.

Sometimes you feel the world is a wonderful place and people are really trying and other times you just think life is shit, like really really really shit for some people.

Fuck me, that's rough.

Not really the place

Why, should this be the place of the noble deaths of noble celebrities?
Who needs such a place.

Cheers to those who never had such a place. Or any.
Then died.

The only good thing (if there ever is anything good about dying) is that most of the recent ones have had a pretty good innings.

Still sad to see all these icons disappear though. Fortunately we have better access than ever to the media they made which helps them not get forgotten so easily these days.

Oh man, missed this one when it happened. Another one for the "had a bloody good innings" crew but still, RIP

Nichelle Nichols:

Neil deGrasse Tyson's "Startalk" episode, featuring her, re-posted in her honour:



The Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. actually made Nichelle Nichols stay in the role of Uhura. It's an interesting story.

James Lovelock

Sad to read his obit in the paper a couple of days ago. The week before, I'd just watched him in a Tom Scott video which was done less than a year ago. Fascinating guy.


[edit: Also after watching that video, it made me wonder if one of the original Day of the Tentacle folk had heard that story..]

Star Treck and its actors won't be forgotten. There is always a few shows and a few movies that like a few books make history and survive the times. Star Trek is one of those.

RIP Nichelle Nichols who I always remember as Lt. Uhura of the USS Enterprise.
