CNN —
Mark Withers, an actor known for several high-profile television roles, including gay character Ted Dinard on 1980s-era primetime soap “Dynasty,” has died. He was reportedly 77.
The news of his November 22 death was confirmed to Variety on Friday by Withers’ daughter, Jessie Withers, who identified the cause as pancreatic cancer.

I heard about this. Was she famous? Like, she had a TV show?
Instagram, Facebook, Scrapbook influencer. Who knows? Probably TIK TOK too. Story was picked up by all the entertainment (internet division) rags. Just me idly perusing late night news (US was asleep) out in mid-Pacific Hawaii.
Angela Alvarez, who at the age of 95 set the record for the oldest performer to win the Latin Grammy for Best New Artist (which she shared in a tie with 25-year-old Silvana Estrada), is dead at 97.
Also…
I like her poetry. I also like that she kicked the Georgia Tech shooter out of her class. When he was just another student, of course, but about a year before the incident, she had had enough of his instability and disruption, and dismissed him. Not someone to mess with!
Virginia Tech (I work for a University in GA and had to go search whether I’d missed one up the road from me at GT).
OOOH! ::smacks self:: I should not have more than one window open at a time. Yes, I meant Virginia Tech.
Ah, so that that’s why I had no recollection of a GT shooter.
Michael Cole, of “Mod Squad” fame, dead at age 84.

I am totally on board with having jettisoned sports teams names such as Indians and Redskins, but Guardians and Commanders both quite frankly suck as team names. (‘Commanders’ looks especially stupid when the team isn’t particularly commanding on the field.)
Eh, sports is full of lame and generic sounding team names (your team is named after socks??), but most are established enough that they’re synonymous with the team apart from what the words actually mean.
Guardians and Commanders sound weird to us because they’re new. I suspect that in less than a generation nobody will think twice about them.
I’m conflicted about the Indians. One the one hand, I can see how it could be offensive, but on the other, my Granddad was an Indian… for half a season in the thirties, but still.
