Farewell to a legend. Aretha Franklin passed away at 76. Pancreatic cancer.

May she rest in peace.

Was steeling myself for her passing since hearing the news a few days ago that she was gravely ill, but it still didn't make this news any less heartbreaking.

That fucking sucks, this is a day after his family had released a statement saying he was discontinuing his cancer treatment so clearly things were a lot worse than what they even said. Disagreed with him on most things but unlike the majority of his party McCain was a decent guy.

In honor of John McCain lets remember possibly the best thing he ever did in the senate:

Nature at its cruelest (besides cancer, etc). I know people with CF, one who died in their teens. I hope there is a breakthrough soon in regards to treating it. It always seems like researchers are close to such.

To be honest, I kind of saw this coming. He didn't seem like he was doing well.

Kind of ironic that the tweet above is using an X-Men funeral. Comic book death in general is a revolving door, but with the X-Men in particular, it's like a public restroom -- it's even an in-joke in the comics themselves.

Anyway. R.I.P., Stan the Man, and thanks for all the lessons/entertainment/inspiration.
