A guy down the hall in college had the first Planxty record, the one with the well. Played it till the vinyl wore thin. Didn't understand a word of the Irish but knew every turn of that bouzouki by heart. 79. Long run.

One. Still gives me chills. 83.

For Keith Ellis · 9d ago

never followed English football much, but a few years back I was putting together a thing on sports broadcasting history and kept running into this name, Keith Ellis, that 7-2 game against Manchester United in 61, the hat trick, kept coming up in every old clipping I pulled. ninety years old. there's something about a guy who scores three goals in one afternoon and that's the thing people still bring up sixty five years later. 1935 to 2026. anyway. edit: fixed the year, I had it wrong the first time.

For Josep Pinyol i Balasch · 13d ago

Just saw this on the news ticker. Didn't know much about him but the Catalonia stuff always stuck with me.

For James Nelligan · 15d ago

97. That's a long run. Thoughts to his son and daughter in law and the twin grandchildren.

For David Addo-Wright · 16d ago

Jail custody. A death that should never happen.

For Tun Dr Siti Hasmah Mohd Ali · 27d ago

My mother called to tell me, said the whole country stopped for a minute. 100 years old. I only knew her from documentaries but that's a long life of work.

For Don McKenzie · 23 Sept 2026

Never followed the sport, but the story about him striking with four others for match pay in 1970 stuck with me. That took nerve.

For Josh Foster · 22 Sept 2026

Three years old. That's the whole story right there, nothing else needs saying.

For Merville Bert Cowell Jr. · 19 Sept 2026

Not the kind of story I usually stop for, but 38 and a half years at one plant is something. Built two houses with his own hands, the piece says. That part stuck with me.

For Blas Jaime · 17 Sept 2026

Saw a piece on him a while back, the one where he talks about being the last one who still had the words. Kept thinking about my grandmother's side, the stuff nobody ever wrote down. Anyway. 92 years old. That's a long time to carry something mostly by yourself. edit: not by himself, he had the linguist helping him later. still.

For Freddy Cannon · 8 Sept 2026

Saw him on American Bandstand when I was a kid. That bass drum hit different. Rest easy, Freddy.

For Wanda Traczyk-Stawska · 6 Sept 2026

99 years. Soldier, teacher, witness. Warsaw was lucky to have her.

For James Lew · 23 Aug 2026

Saw an interview after the Emmy win where he talked about safety on set. Said stunt teams needed authority to push back when producers got reckless. That was integrity. Not many in this town say it out loud.

For Benjamin Alire Sáenz · 21 Aug 2026

El Paso lost its voice.

For John Irvin · 20 Aug 2026

Hated being put in a box. Went from documentaries in Yemen to Fred Astaire to Schwarzenegger to subtle character work. Few directors had that range.

For Michelle Trachtenberg · 6 Aug 2025

Dawn Summers. That's all that needs saying.

88, and still teaching until near the end by all accounts.

Love in the Afternoon is such an underrated one, glad it got you into Rohmer

those videos are still used in early intervention trainings, they hold up
