This one snuck by me…

Multiple Tony-award winning triple threat Chita Rivera died on January 30 at the age of 91.

Her talent spoke volumes.

Nice article here:

Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny has died in prison at 47. I won’t bother repeating the (probable) lies about how he died, since given his history with the Putin regime it really just amounts to murder, regardless how they style it.

RIP, Mr. Navalny, and thanks for trying to do something helpful on your continent. It’s sad that so much hope has died with you, too. Condolences to your family, friends, fans and loved ones.
