Being old, death gets my attention, so I read the obituaries. This is a collection of recent obits, mostly of people whose work touched my life, because I want to say thanks (or maybe give 'em a final fuck you).

There’ll be a roundup like this occasionally, until I’m on the list myself.

Actually the first I saw that Steve Silberman passed. He and I used to talk on Twitter back when it wasn’t a cesspool - he was an amazing communicator and advocate.
