Celebrity Deaths

His health was getting pretty bad in the end, after a long time with the usual physical ailments that come with height and old age. It was a big deal he was able to shoot A Force Awakens for that reason. He then served as a "Chewbacca Consultant" for TLJ and handed over the role to Joonas Suotamo, the action double, completely. Honorary role mostly but if you think about it he and other costumed actors (Anthony Daniels, Kenny Baker, Warwick Davis) have this distinct subtle mannerisms. So there was actual advice to be given to Suotamo about posture, stride, etc., who has taken over the role of Chewie seamlessly. 

Found out a few years ago he's lived in North Texas and became an American citizen awhile back. Very modest and low key life. He was a user on reddit, mostly replied to fans. Last post was this.

Australia's elder statesman of ex-PMs passed away today at 89. Prime Minister from March 1983 - December 1991. Along with his successors in Keating and Howard, left an influential mark over modern Australia, and post-politics was more widely liked than most ex-leaders.

World is changing - the new NPR theme song surprised me when it came on; I thought it was some new programme!

Poor Grumpy Cat - she brought light to the internet.

Being an internet meme is unhealthy. Especially for anti-social grumpy cats. All the clicks and views make your telomeres shrink. 

 

Godspeed grumpy one
