Wow, was just reading about him having a blowup at a King of the Hill event the other day.

Bit of a one-two punch losing Sly Stone and Brian Wilson. RIP.

Treat Williams

Think I've only seen him in Hair and Deep Rising.

He was the villain in The Phantom and in 1941 off the top of my head. 

But he died in 2023.

Seeing this made me wonder - I've always known who is/recognize his face immediately, as if I've always known him from some child-age point etc, but I have no idea why. Looking at his body of work - I still have no idea why. I always figured he was in a lot of made for TV movies/series from the 80's or early 90's or something that I saw, but apparently not. How odd. Maybe he was just interviewed a lot on talk shows or something? 😄

I think his biggest thing was the TV series Everwood, early 2000's. Which I never saw (do remember the ads/articles tho).

78 to 87 may just have been the best Marvel ever was in the 20th century.

Definitely a lot of modern marvel was built in that period.

Jimmy Swaggart

My mom's dad was a pastor involved with a lot of the scumbags like Swaggart and Copeland early on into their ministries/proto-televangelist careers. Swaggart probably isn't as evil as Copeland is, but I can't say I'm terribly sorry to see him go, little good it does now.

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.

Kenneth Colley, well, died on June 30th.  I liked him in Firefox

Composer Mark Snow, probably most famous for his work on the X-Files. 

Back in the 90ies when I was a wee lad, we used to watch X-Files together. If there's one thing I miss about the linear TV experience, it is gathering once a week to watch a series we all watched, and then discussing the episode with my friends at school. We were probably a bit too young to watch X-Files. Still remember how my brother was quite afraid while watching Darkness Falls. Snuck up behind him and just touched him. Heh. Almost had a heart attack. Most certainly woke all the old people in the neighborhood with his screaming.

Good times.
