I still can't believe it's already been almost 5 years since the world lost a legendary individual with the biggest heart and kindest of souls. I hope you are resting in peace Kirby. We all miss you dearly.

We have lost Michelle Trachtenberg, known for her roles in Harriet the Spy, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Gossip Girl. She is currently believed to have died from complications relating to a liver transplant.

Also, this sort of "the thread of prophecy is severed" meme has got to stop being the way I find out about such deaths.

Had to pass the news on to two old friends that I'd gather to watch Buffy with when it was still airing.

Toby Keith died yesterday! Of stomach cancer so it was probably extremely painful! Why is this something to be happy about? TK was one of the main faces of the post-9/11 country music shift to nationalism, bootlicking, republican Jesus, and songs about mindless consumption of beer/trucks/women. He was the LOUDEST voice in the mainstream country music scene of the 00s, shilling for corporate interests, war, and the police state. His songs dipped with racism(beer for my horses was practically a call to action for lynchings), jingoism(Courtesy of the Red White and Blue, American Soldier, etc), and mindless toeing of the GOP and corporate line (American Ride). His era furthered the gentrification of the "rural working class aesthetic" that had begun during the "Hat Act" era of the 90s and accelerated the the identity politics of big trucks, blaming minorities for societal issues, and general xenophobia and bigotry. I am generally not one to wish suffering on others and his death does not do anything to solve the issues he helped create but at least he's dead and it was probably excruciating.

Just your daily reminder that Judy Garland didn’t deserve anything that happened to her on the wizard of oz set

I’m sure she was a legend and was taken far too soon

Oh… rest in peace, sir.

So, I'm seeing a bunch of posts on my dash about how Anita Bryant died recently, and in the interest of promulgating this, I am of the scientific opinion that Anne Murray kicks Anita Bryant's ass any day of the week.

In unrelated news, here's some footage of the Trocadero Transfer disco in San Francisco (now known as The Grand):

The King of my younger years has passed on.

Hail the victorious dead.

May you rest and your heart sing inspiration to many generations to come.
