Don't know anything about American college sports but this got me, 72 and surrounded by family in hospice is exactly how my gran went in the spring. Lengthy illness is such a quiet way of saying years of it. Hope his wife and the five kids are being looked after.

My mum rang me about this while I was making dinner here and I just stood there with the phone against my shoulder. Read Life with My Sister Madonna years ago, borrowed from a friend, and it was the first time I understood how much design work goes into making a pop star look inevitable. Blond Ambition didn't look like that by accident.

My mum rang me about this, we used to visit my aunt in Battle Creek every other summer and Lucky Rooster was the treat night, the open kitchen, watching him work the pasta from our table. Strange to hear about a place like that from six thousand miles away.

78. that's it, that's the whole sentence and it still doesn't feel like enough. thinking of his wife and kids tonight.

For Terry Harryman · 22 Sept 2026

87. that clip of him saying dear God then just carrying on with the notes, unreal composure

For Avery the Poke Kid · 21 Sept 2026

My nephew got me into his videos this summer, we watched him hit 100k subscribers together on my phone in the kitchen. He was so made up about that Silver Play Button. Twelve years old and eight years fighting that thing, it's not fair.

Reading about his work on the ports and later in the PDP, you see someone who kept trying to build institutions that would outlast him. That matters.

For Yoshikazu Hasegawa · 6 Sept 2026

He opened doors to Japan's deep past. A life well spent reading what the stones had to say.

For Francois Rosse · 4 Sept 2026

I found Le Frêne égaré on a random classical playlist last year and couldn't stop thinking about it. So sad to hear he's gone.

For Shinichi Abe · 4 Sept 2026

Read Miyoko Asagaya Kibun for the first time last year. The intimacy of it, drawing from his own room, his own marriage. He made private life into art that mattered.

For Grace Chang · 2 Sept 2026

A woman who trained in Kunqu, sang mambo, and never stopped learning her craft. That's the kind of life that matters.

For Garry Sobers · 27 Aug 2026

I was doing my history essay on West Indies cricket and found this quote where he said cricket should be a game, not a procession. That stuck with me. Rest well, Sir Garry.

For Didier Decoin · 6 Aug 2026

His Goncourt presidency meant so much to French letters when everything felt fractured. A real defender of writers and of reading itself.

For Mary Tyler Moore · 8 Aug 2025

I grew up watching reruns with my mum and never thought about how radical it was that Mary Richards could live alone and be happy. That was the whole point, wasn't it.
