I loved her in Schitt's Creek and the three mockumentaries. She had true talent.

Agreed. She was amazing in all of those. Such great chemistry with Eugene Levy.

Catherine O’Hara.

As a kid who strongly identified with the plight of Kevin McCallister, I always sort of side eyed her (Schitt’s Creek didn’t really help).

This makes me sad. RIP

John Brodie

The first '9er QB I remember. Great Athlete - after retiring from the NFL went on to play professional golf on the senior tour.

This is quite the byline:

Despite his weird and racist takes in recent years, Adams was a very funny and often insightful cartoonist. He lived much of his adult life and died here in Pleasanton (CJF and I dined at his restaurant here). The obvious lesson is to stay on top of your PSA level and to get real medical help sooner rather than later. Although my prostate cancer was fairly advanced within the prostate, it apparently hadn't metastasized, and the treatment regimen i chose has resulted in a PSA of <0.1. I continue to be reassured that I won't die from prostate cancer (so many other options...).

Yes, that he initially treated with Ivermectin instead of radiation and chemo. He then turned to those medically-sound treatments when the cancer had metastasized to a point that it was incurable.

Ah, the Steve Jobs route.

Didn’t that dude die of metastatic prostate cancer?

Dilbert was great. This guy went off the deep end. Might still be alive today had he not believed in the universal effectiveness of ivermectin to cure everything that ails us.

He became a huge weirdo the last few years.

His voice issue also really would have sucked.

That is so true

[BigPiney]

No more Dilbert

Scott Adams was 68. The man knew the culture of tech!!

I had a Dilbert daily calender on my desk for most of the last 15 yrs of my working life

I didn’t realize the actor who played Ziggy Sobatka passed away this month too. Tragically by suicide.
I’m not going to post what he is most remembered for on The Wire.
