R.I.P.
ARCHBISHOP DESMOND TUTU aged 90.
Anti Aparteid campaigner and confidant of Nelson Mandela

A very great man and eloquent speaker.

“Faith without works is dead”.

Only the second holy man to be named after an item of female clothing; the first, of course, being the Archbishop of Cantilever.
 
By 17 days.

I never particularly liked the characters she played but she had a showbiz career that lasted over 80 years and not a lot of her peers can say that. I heard that it put her in Guinness so i reckon none of her peers can say that

RIP Betty White

She was so famous Stateside that even Joe Biden still remembers who she was, which is good going for a man who struggles to remember who he is.
 
Such a shame she didn't make the 100, I was reading about her the day before she passed away, People magazine already issued 'Betty at 100'...

Aoife Beary: Berkeley balcony collapse survivor dies, aged 27 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-59854917

Poor kid, dreadful last 6 years.
No criminal charges were brought against the construction company involved which apparently failed to disclose previous failings to local authorities. Pity the American Courts didn’t have the same zeal to pursue a (an American) company for killing half a dozen people as they seem to have in pursuing Maxwell and Randy Andy for what surely must be lesser crimes/allegations.
