Told my dad and he just went quiet for a second, said he used to watch him pull around the end for Jim Brown on Sunday afternoons. 94. Didn't know the name but I know the block.

For Nathaniel Spychala · 17 Sept 2026

Saw this on the local feed and I don't know why it stopped me but it did. A mechanic, forty three, Knife River, not somewhere I've ever been. I keep thinking about how many cars he must have fixed for people who never once wrote his name down anywhere. Sauk Rapids grad too apparently. Anyway. Just sad, in a quiet way. Editing to add, rest well.

For Anay Beltrán Reyes · 17 Sept 2026

I only knew her from a clip about that school curriculum bill, mental health and nutrition, something like that, and I keep thinking about how young 45 actually is, my cousin is 45. I don't really know why this is sitting with me the way it is, I never even followed Mexican politics that closely. Anyway. Rest well. (sorry, rambling, I'll stop)

For Robert Alexy · 6 Sept 2026

Eighty years old, still working. Still inviting critics to challenge him. That's the kind of scholar we need more of.

She sounds like she never stopped giving, honestly.
