Neil Peart

Not gonna gloss over the very, very problematic rape trial and his tacit admission after the accuser was basically bullied into accepting a financial settlement. I simply never liked Kobe, even before all that came out. I even grew quite tired of him reappearing over and over again in the NBA and in pop culture in general. But I am sad that a wife lost her husband and one of her daughters, and that two parents lost their son and granddaughter, and that among the other victims of the crash was basically 3/5ths of an entire family.

I can even understand why entire generations of NBA players idolized Kobe growing up. He was one hell of a player. But unfortunately, if you want a primary example of rape culture in action, look no further than Kobe's rape trial. I'm fine with people saying they idolized the player, but when they speak of his "exemplary character" I kinda cringe.

Up and coming Brooklyn rapper Pop Smoke gunned down at 20. Really sad, announced his first Montreal show the day before the shooting.

Between him and Juice WRLD in December, a couple of talented young men who I have no doubt were going to headline arenas in the coming years barely make it past their teens.

There's definitely some lessons to be learned for other young people here.

For one.....don't post your home address on the internet....for two especially after you just posted a picture of you and your boy with a stack of cash in your driveway. Its a shame this poor man had to learn that people are f'n terrible and you have to be careful at such a young age but there is also such a thing called common sense. Either way he didn't deserve that and I hope the other side treats him well.

Legendary actor Max von Sydow died Sunday at the age of 90.

I still haven't seen the Seventh Seal, I'm gonna do so someday.

Wasn't he in Strange Brew?

Kenny Rogers, 81. He saw Covid-19 going around and was like "yep, time to fold 'em!".
