Can you name some celebrities who have died this week? Besides Raquel Welch/Stella Stevens.

I liked his acting, mainly in the detective character he played on L&O and in cameos across other series as well. I had no idea how much comedy background he had, or even that he use to do standup. RIP.

I was lucky enough to have a tv in my bedroom growing up and remember sneaking and watching The Richard Belzer Show. I believe he was on the same channel as Dr. Ruth which I also watched. She's 94 and still kicking. Take that Belzer.

Geez, you turn 50 and everyone you watched growing up starts dropping like flies.

Go to ANY death notice on social media, no matter what they died of, and the fucking comments are littered with anti-vax nutters claiming the COVID vaccines killed them.

Even people dying in their 80s and 90s FFS.

Including this guy.

They're the flat earthers of medicine. (Every space/NASA post on social media is flooded with flat earther comments now)

59 ain't pretty either!

Right around the early 70's or so though it seems like people stop really even commenting anymore when you/me (etc) bite the big one.... lol...??



Live every day like it's your last because one day you'll be right!

Yeah, funny this thread should pop up in front of me. Been thinking a lot about that tonight. This brain tumor (?seems like?) iss really kicking my ass. I wanted to order groceries with my acct., and I'm forgetting how. Only did this two weeks ago. It's affecting my executive function, and my daily experiential memory. I also have to type slower so I don't make mistakes.

Sorry to hear that mate.......

PLEASE for the love of God go see a doctor! This might very well be something treatable and even if not they can almost certainly help you suffer less!
