At the risk of being crude, in a hundred years nobody's going to give a fuck about DeShawn GigaNog Prisonbitch Pigskin Kicker, Esq. the 3rd

Unless the sportsman's name has a unique combination of letters, in which case you'll have to pry it out of crossword puzzle creators' hands.

I don't know anything about sports except that Mel Ott played for the New York Giants, Bobby Orr was in the Bruins, and Ernie Els is a golf man.

Sad. He was the world's last German mad scientist. I've watched his "Body Worlds" DVD of live autopsies since I was a teenager. RIP.

French DJ Kavinsky, who produced the pounding track "Nightcall" that featured in the hit 2011 film Drive and performed alongside Belgian singer Angèle at the closing ceremony of the 2024 Olympics, has been found dead in his Paris home, local media reported Wednesday. He was 50 years old.

RIP Kavinsky gonna play Nightcall right now

 

[CheeseMonger]

Probably why he killed himself, only thing he's ever made that people know.

 

[Bonesjones]

His album popped up last night while I was driving, funny.

 

[Asian tech support]

Nightcall isn't even close to being his best song imo even if it's the most well known. If that's all anyone has heard of his, do yourself a favor and listen to his discography, you won't regret it.
My personal favorite:

James Aren Duckett, convicted murdurer, died at the age of 68.

From the report:

"I waited nearly 40 years to have him dead," Dorthy Tula, the victim's mother, said before breaking down.

This is just fucking sad. WTF is the point of killing the dirtbag at this point? The state just gave him a comparably easy life while basically torturing the victims family.

Might as well toss some restitution at them and take it out of the governor's pension

Fuuuuuuuuuck!

Find peace on the other side, Big K.

Should've given the hospital a nightcall to tell them how he feels.

This needs more attention. The dude looked like a mad scientist with a peeled off-botched surgery face, did a PUBLIC AUTOPSY, was blasted for allegedly buying executed criminals, did one of his plastinations with a woman and her 8 month old fetus inside of her, and apparently changed peoples minds about smoking and drinking with his exhibits.

Honestly he's not doctor death, that's kavorkian. Dr death sounds like he did the death-ing. He only preserved the death. Dr death will always be kavorkian to me.

what the fuck. Kavinsky's a regular in my gym mix. Guy basically invented the modern synthwave genre. 50, too, is too young. Damn.

Used to listen 1986 all the time.

 

[BootyWarriorUkaUka]

Used to listen 1986 all the time.

I did too. And then I discovered Carpenter Brut. Hurts to see K pass away. Honestly, this year has resulted in plenty of nostalgic figures passing away.
