My mother was a mathematician so I tried to calculate my grief. My father was an engineer so I tried to build a box around my grief, along with a small wooden bed that grief could lie down on.

-- “Grief” from Obit by Victoria Chang

Very sad to see this.... If you have not read any (or much) of his work, he was one of the finest authors I have had the pleasure (and often discomfort) of reading. -sam

 The “People’s Republic of Brooklyn” sent New York-based international activist Viola Plummer home as if she were a head of state, with a grand four-hour funeral this with hundreds of family members, friends, and colleagues celebrating her life’s works.

Plummer was a local leader—with national and global Black community impact. Government representatives from Cuba and Zimbabwe were present; and there was a letter from the Namibian government read at the Queens, New York, wake held Jan. 26 and Brooklyn funeral, held at House of the Lord Church on Jan. 27.

I learned this morning that Mojo Nixon has died.

His music came out in the late 1980s, and he quickly became one of my mother's favorites. She would put his album "Root Hog or Die" on the record player and blast it full volume when she was vacuuming the house. Here's one song from it.

Lyrics:

A pirate ship's a'sailin' Out on the stormy seas It's the Radio Free America Just for you and me The big radio stations Are stinkin' up the air Playing pusillanimous plotz It's a real nightmare Sing! Chorus Aye aye mateys, oh, come on the Pirate Radio Land of the free and home of the brave FCC crawl in your grave! The Coast Guard's a'comin' To shut the pirates down They don't believe in free speech The FCC's in town Their hacksaws and their hammers They smash it all to bits They won a little battle But the war's not over yet Sing! Chorus What are they afraid of? That we might tell the truth? We might play something good And it wouldn't be a goof What we need is liberty Not their stinky laws Freedom from the FCC And their money grubbin' paws Sing! Chorus A pirate flag's a'wavin' To fight the FCC Those lily-livered scalawags Full of mendacity It's mutiny on the airwaves We're scullin' lots of rum We'll make 'em walk the plank We're havin' lots of fun Sing! Chorus (Repeat chorus, ad lib pirate talk, fade out)

Fernando Botero, the Colombian whose voluptuous pictures and sculptures of overstuffed generals, bishops, prostitutes, housewives and other products of his whimsical imagination made him one of the world’s best-known artists, died on Friday in Monaco. He was 91.

Joseph Flaherty (June 21, 1941 – April 1, 2024) Actor, writer, and comedian. He is best known for his work on the Canadian sketch comedy SCTV from 1976 to 1984 (on which he also served as a writer), and as Harold Weir on Freaks and Geeks.

 He was one of the original writer/performers on SCTV, where he spent eight years on the show, playing such characters as Big Jim McBob (of Farm Film Report fame), Count Floyd/Floyd Robertson, and station owner/manager Guy Caballero, who goes around in a wheelchair only for respect and undeserved sympathy.

In 1989, Flaherty played a guest role in Married... with Children in the season-four episode "Tooth or Consequences", as a recently divorced dentist who must repair Al Bundy's teeth.

During 1997–1998, Flaherty starred in the television adaptation of Police Academy (Police Academy: The Series) as Cmdt. Stuart Hefilfinger. The series lasted for only one season.

In 1999, Flaherty joined the cast of Freaks and Geeks, an NBC hour-long dramedy set in the 1980–1981 academic year, in which he played Harold Weir, the irascible father of two teens. Despite a dedicated cult following, the show only lasted one season. In the third episode, "Tricks and Treats", he dons a cheap vampire costume reminiscent of his "Count Floyd" character of the depicted era.

Flaherty made appearances on the CBS sitcom The King of Queens as Father McAndrew, the priest at the Heffernans' church. He starred on the Bite TV original program, Uncle Joe's Cartoon Playhouse, and served as a judge on the CBC program The Second City's Next Comedy Legend. (Wikipedia)
