I thought, if the goal was to be as respectful as possible, the author did a good job. It’s tucked it in there as part of a compliment sandwich after several paragraphs that noted her accomplishments. It read to me like they didn’t want to draw too much attention to her support of a broken vacuum cleaner once owned…

This isn’t a very “AV Club” headline. Let me have a go:

Not to mention it’s such a tortured fucking sentence. I know nothing gets edited around here anymore, but you’d think an obituary would at least get proofread by an intern

Yeah! How did you know! Incidentally, you’ve just been indicted for wire fraud, tax evasion, and elder abuse.

Yeah, commit to the bit or don’t. What a weird halfway. 

It’s probably my age, but Rebecca was always more interesting and fun than Diane to me. 

This is really a workplace issue. Did she get infected on the same soundstage? I don’t think covid safety for the production should be the responsibility of individual cast and crew. If the star could come to work sick without anyone noticing, how many sick kids were at that dance?

Eventually we’ll reach a point in history where we can simply acknowledge that lots of people went to work with Covid because “work” as a concept didn’t vanish in 2020.

I feel like Regis and Ripa would have banged before Strahan. Those two had terrible chemistry 

I had a co-worker who was convinced that Michael Strahan and Kelly Ripa were banging, and while they had great chemistry, I think if they had attempted intercourse, Ripa would have ended up as a fine mist on Strahan’s pelvis.

even at the age of 137

I don’t care one way or the other about Shatner the man. He’s got a reputation for being an asshole, and I have no reason to doubt it.

There is so much here that I agree with. Both the likeability of many side characters, and the showing/telling problem.

Ahhh, so you work at a Nuke Plant.

That was a hell of a thing.
