Mira Furlan.

Being involved with Babylon 5 seems to have been very unhealthy.

No mind to think. No will to break. No voice to cry suffering.

    The causes of Furlan’s death were not made public, but Babylon 5 creator Straczynski hinted that the actress was sick for some time. In the Twitter post with which her death was announced, we read the touching words of Mira Furlan: “I look at the stars. It is a clear night and the Milky Way seems so close. That’s where I’ll go soon. ‘We are all star stuff,’ suddenly I remember Delenn’s line from Joe’s script. Not a bad prospect. I’m not afraid. In the meantime, let me close my eyes and feel the beauty around me. And take a breath under the dark sky full of stars. Breathe in. Exhale. That’s all”.

    I hadn't heard whe he first announced he had cancer that it was stage 4 lung cancer. Apparently at that point it was super aggressive.

    Captain Tom....an amazing man, a great and patriotic career and a true friend to the UK NHS where at the age of 99 he was still raising money for them 

    RIP Captain Tom

    Slipping while climbing up to get a better look at the full moon? I've never heard of this lady, but as a fellow moon-and-stargazer myself, that is just the worst way to go, :(.

    Against stupidity we have no defense. Neither protests nor force can touch it. Reasoning is of no use. Facts that contradict personal prejudices can simply be disbelieved - indeed, the fool can counter by criticizing them, and if they are undeniable, they can just be pushed aside as trivial exceptions. So the fool, as distinct from the scoundrel, is completely self-satisfied. In fact, they can easily become dangerous, as it does not take much to make them aggressive. For that reason, greater caution is called for than with a malicious one. Never again will we try to persuade the stupid person with reasons, for it is senseless and dangerous.

    ...but Sean Connery is still alive somewhere, right? Right?

    Sigh.  RIP's all around.

    Still gaming with my 9900k/2080ti/32 ram. One day I suppose a game may inspire me to finally upgrade. Maybe. 

     

    RIP to a master. One of the most unique and out there vocalists.
