Stephen Wilhite, the man who invented the GIF format in 1987, passed away two days ago at 74. It's pronounced like "jif", by the way.

Louie Simmons, a famous powerlifting coach, passed away at age 74. He's notable for founding the (extremely exclusive and invite-only) Westside Barbell Gym and the Conjugate Method of training. This method uses special exercises to target deficiencies in your main (squat, bench, deadlift) lifts. You may do high box squats one week, or use bands and chains the next - it is all designed to target specific sticking points, such as being slow off the floor. It can be very intense and a hard philosophy to to follow without good coaching or access to a lot of equipment(I've used probably a dozen different types of bars since joining my current gym). Some critics say the level of intensity is difficult to do without resorting to PEDs (which Simmons was open about his usage of).
My gym trains Conjugate so we pretty much have an official period of mourning going on.

Another Michael Jackson/Farrah Fawcett or Keith Flynt/Luke Perry situation in the past weeks. Kazuki Takahashi, the man who invented Yu-Gi-Oh, was mysteriously found dead at sea, then his death was overshadowed by the passing of beloved actor James Caan at 82, and then that one was further overshadowed by the murder of former Japanese prime minister Shinzo Abe, shot by a man who had a grudge against a cult Abe was being a part of.

Idiots have tried to blame Takahashi’s death on the COVID vaccine. According to them, him being Vaccinated against COVID was what made his body unable to handle swimming.

Idiots have tried to blame Takahashi’s death on the COVID vaccine. According to them, him being Vaccinated against COVID was what made his body unable to handle swimming. Those imbecilic bastards are blaming every death ever on the vaccines. Because god forbid that Prince Philip can die of natural causes at 99. I never understood what these people are gaining from doing that and what kind of "conspiracies" they think are "uncovering" by spamming blatantly false shit all over the internet.
Going on-topic, after Ray Liotta and James Caan now Paul Sorvino too passed away, at 83.

There's talk that Anne Heche may be passing away, due to being badly burned in her car accident. Her rep says she is not expected to make it.
May she rest in peace. She struggled with so much in her life. Hopefully, she's at peace now. May God protect her under his loving arms.
