Also basketball god Bill Russell, who died last week. Russell's 13-year NBA career featured 12 All Star births, a whopping 11 league championships and 5 MVP awards, all while enduring and overcoming some horrific racism.

Damn. The Li'l Puppet grew up with a gorgeous, coffee-table-sized hardcover version of The Bear*, and wanted to read it together countless times, both before and after she could read. I didn't know anything about the author, but I can replay that entire, not-so-short book in my head (including all the wordless panels).





*linked the paperback, 'cause the hardback page has what looks like the cover for a completely different book of the same name.

Heche has not been taken off life support, according to the representative, so they have time to determine if she is a match for organ donation.

"It has long been her choice to donate her organs and she is being kept on life support to determine if any are viable," the family said in a previous statement on Thursday night.
Anne Heche is 'brain dead' but remains on life support for organ donation, according to family statement - CNN

A car crash at the ripe old age of 53 is a highly shitty way to go.

Her part in that movie wasn't very big, but 97 is good long life.

I hope Gorbachev was working on a tell-all memoir when he died that tells everyone to suck it.

I was a Russian studies major when he came to power - he visited MN and the whole place when insane - and it seemed like he was going to make some major changes. And then the whole house of cards came down.
