Alexei Navalny, Putin's biggest critic, dies in prison. Natural causes, I'm sure. https://www.reuters.com/world/europ...eader-navalny-dead-prison-service-2024-02-16/
Every time I see an update to this thread, I hold my breath and hope it’s one person in particular. It never is.
If you see that here before anywhere else, or honking in the streets like it's a FIFA win, then you need to get out more and expand your circles.
I knew he'd gotten sick again, but didn't know he'd died. Brit Turner, drummer from one of my favorite bands (Blackberry Smoke) and just an all-around good dude. He will be missed. https://www.billboard.com/music/rock/brit-turner-blackberry-smoke-drummer-dead-obituary-1235621921/ They were supposed to play tomorrow at the Vilar Center in Beaver Creek, CO, and I was supposed to be in Beaver Creek this week. Neither is happening. RIP.
Damn, one of the ultimate ”Hey, its that guy” actors out there. I remember looking him up after watching The Jerk about 15 years ago and being surprised he was alive.
From what I’ve seen today he’s being remembered most fondly as Lithgow’s dad in Harry and the Hendersons. “I ask for King Kong, you give me a goddamn giant gerbil!” Fun movie. Although its anti-hunting, pro-vegetarian front seems to shine through watching it as an adult.
And he is also to thank for tanking a universal healthcare bill during the Obama years because he was bribed by the insurance companies. I laughed so hard when he and that hypocrite John Kerry lost to an incompetent boob like Bush Jr. If I'm ever anywhere near his grave, I'm gonna chug a 40 and dip a whole can of Copenhagen before I show up. Burn in Hell, cocksucker.
