For Jorge Castro · 10d ago

Never followed boxing much, but that 1994 comeback against Jackson, three knockdowns in the ninth after being dead on the cards, is the kind of thing that gets clipped into every documentary about never giving up. 59 is no age.

For Suresh Raj Sharma · 23 Sept 2026

never heard of him till my dad called this morning, practically shouting about some chemist who built a whole university out of nothing in Nepal. dad's an old chemistry professor himself, kept saying "no shortage of courage," that line got him good. wild how a guy on the other side of the planet can wreck your father's morning like that.

For Hartmut Welker · 21 Sept 2026

84. Toolmaker to Bayreuth. Not a bad run.

For Elizabeth "Betty" Catherine Folz Spahn · 19 Sept 2026

Just read her obituary online, the one everyone's sharing, and sat with it a minute. Seventy years married, eight kids, and it made the news. Something almost radical about that now.

For Brian Johnson · 17 Sept 2026

86. Built spaceships out of nothing for Kubrick before he was thirty, then did it again for Lucas and Scott. Two Oscars and he still seems underrated somehow.

For Grace Chang · 5 Sept 2026

Ninety-three years old and still the Mambo Girl. That's one hell of a legacy to leave.

For Livio Berruti · 2 Sept 2026

The Angel broke the American stranglehold in 1960 and then basically disappeared into a quiet life. That takes a certain kind of strength.

For Konrad H. Jarausch · 2 Sept 2026

Out of Ashes got me through my twenties. A historian who actually believed ordinary people could learn and change. Rare thing.

For Lloyd Robertson · 1 Sept 2026

Watched him every night for thirty years. The man made reading the news look like an actual art form, which I guess it was.
