I heard from various Trek Facebook pages about Gary Graham. Pretty sad. I liked the character of Ambassador Soval, and how his opinion of humans changed over the course of the seasons.

Carl Weathers 😭

Through his contributions to film, television, the arts and sports, he has left an indelible mark and is recognized worldwide and across generations.

He didn't have the most profilic career, but damn, he had some iconic roles. It's a big loss.

While it wasn't his best known role, his small part in Arrested Development was great.

"Ian Lavender: Dad's Army star dies aged 77"
Birmingham-born Lavender was just 22 when he was cast as the guileless platoon member, in what was then a new BBC sitcom.
But it made him a household name, and he ended up pending 10 years as part of the comedy classic.
Lavender, who died on Friday, was the last surviving main cast member of the series.

That'd be Pike, of "Don't tell him, Pike".

He apparently died on March 1, but waiting a week for the announcement is not unusual. I like the idea of letting family and friends deal with death before opening gates on their privacy.

Saw that last night, sad news. Might have to go and watch The Principal now, great film.

The objective of the game is to win. The point of the game is to have fun. The two should never be confused.

Daniel Kahnemann died at the end of March.

His "Thinking fast and slow" was one of the most important books I've read and was one of the milestones of my perception of reality changing from infantile "what I see is true because my brain wants me to know this truth".
