Being old, death gets my attention, so I read the obituaries. This is a collection of recent obits, mostly of people whose work touched my life, because I want to say thanks (or maybe give 'em a final fuck you).

There’ll be a roundup like this every weekend, until I’m on the list myself.

    This is great. Consider reaching out to others still alive? They probably don’t have the fan fair they used to, and may appreciate the outreach in a meaningful way. Just remember, everyone is human (cept Zuck), so they may have their own failings.

    A lot of your posts also show the negative of today’s world, it could also be a healthy positive outlet?

      I sent a nice letter to Buckminster Fuller when I was a kid.
