Saddened to see this, not only a brilliant poet and activist, but a fantastic actor too. Loved him in Peaky Blinders. Eight weeks from diagnosis of a brain tumor to dying. RIP you lovely man https://www.theguardian.com/books/2023/dec/07/british-poet-benjamin-zephaniah-dies-aged-65
Edited to add one my favourite poems of his: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8uHHjAsPbLc

101 earns a victory lap though. If nothing else, he outlived Kissinger and seemed to be a very decent person.

Former and founding member of the Dixie Chicks, Laura Lynch, died in a car collision last night. No word of how the other parties are doing.

Tom Smothers, half of the comedy team the Smothers Brothers. This one hurts. They were one of the first comedy acts my mom shared with me as a kid, and we went to see them perform live a couple of times. We watched their TV show religiously, and–you get the point. I have a lot of memories tied up in the Smothers Brothers.
Your mom may have always liked Dick best, but I liked you, Tom.
