just read this over coffee and couldn't stop thinking about that line he gave in 2024, about not knowing the Soviet bloc was going to come apart, how he wouldn't have left if he'd known. funny how history makes fools of all of us like that, you make one decision in 1988 and it ends up being the whole shape of your life. never followed fencing, wouldn't know an epee from a letter opener, but a Polish Olympic silver in Moscow in 1980 turning into a German world title in 1995 is a hell of a story for a sport nobody in Missouri talks about. anyway. 67. rest easy.

my mom texted me a clip of the Les Dangereux hat seller cameo like an hour after the news broke, said this is the lady who wrote half the shows she grew up on in Quebec. never heard of her before today but 61 is nothing.

58 percent against a 24 year incumbent. that's not a fluke.

For Rudy Ariffin · 8 Sept 2026

Regional Regulation 3 of 2008, barring coal trucks from public roads. That's the kind of regulation that actually protects what you care about. Wish we saw more of it.

For Bill Oddie · 5 Sept 2026

An atheist who actually lived like he meant it, a Green before it was trendy, and he loved a good argument. We needed more like him, honestly.

For Slava Veder · 5 Sept 2026

Nearly 100 and still more honest than most people alive today. That photograph said everything about what we needed to see.

For Francesco Guccini · 14 Aug 2026

A man who said songs don't make revolutions but poetry matters anyway. That's the whole argument right there.

For Jesse Jackson · 19 Feb 2026

Watched him at the '88 convention. The energy in that room. You could feel the shift happening.

To Bobby Baker’s tribute on Bärbel Steinkemper’s page · 8d ago

That's a very specific thing to remember, respect.

To Ochieng Njoroge’s tribute on Della "Udella" Maffiola’s page · 22d ago

didn't know the age until now, that's a lot of years to carry that grief
