Val Kilmer, who played Bruce Wayne in “Batman Forever,” channeled as Jim Morrison in Oliver Stone‘s “The Doors” and starred in several other 1980s favorites, has died. He was 65.
@f00l@heartny@Kyeh Yes, he had cancer in 2015 & battled it for a couple of years, then had some ongoing health effects from it, like needing a feeding tube at some point, but he ended up dying from pneumonia. Please get your vaccines, people, especially those of us with chronic health conditions. It’s especially important now that we’re bringing back all the classics–tuberculosis, measles, whooping cough, polio & God only knows what else is waiting in the wings.
“Defrocked Cardinal Theodore McCarrick, the once-powerful archbishop of Washington, D.C., who was removed from the priesthood amidst one of the worst sexual-abuse scandals in the history of the American Catholic Church, has died at the age of 94 in Missouri…”
@shahnm For once, I agree with you on something. McCarrick can join Cardinal Bernard Law in the flaming pit of Hell for eternity. Even that isn’t punishment enough for either of them.
I know I’m late (but not THAT late) but I missed saying RIP 2024!
