Sad, but not too terribly surprised. His work always had a bit of melancholy attached to it, which is what made his outlook and humor so compelling. A real loss, though, especially in a time in which thoughtful, intelligent discussion on TV is on the decline.

Sorry, but any hockey scouting report that doesn’t include at least 5-6 sentences regarding a player’s grit and determination is incomplete

RIP. A damaged man who became a good man, and had a tremendous cultural impact. Felt like I lived his adventure for 15 years. Stood up for what was right. Expressed himself with enviable ease and wit. Could observe and participate without othering or fetishizing or appropriating. Sad to see him go. I guess those…

I will never understand why countries don’t just adopt a very simple tax system for corporations. “You get taxed based on where the money comes from, not where your fucking corporate HQ is”. There. Solved tax havens.

Alright, sure. Big guy, tall and uh broad... not fast. He was so good (compared to us scrubs anyways) that his position was Middle. Just always in the middle. The game just always moved around him, and he looked like he played in slow motion. It was so easy to play with him, get him the puck, move to an open area…

Within the past decade, my elderly father has told me stories about seeing the Black Hawks at the old barn in the 50's and 60's, telling me about specific line combinations that were just guys. Or he’d talk about watching Fergie Jenkins at Wrigley. Or “chasing girls” around Logan Square.

Played with and against Tim in rec leagues wayyyy back in the day. Amazing dude, and he had the best hands. Super heavy shot from what looked to be a slow swing. He just always pured it. Anyways, I don’t know why I am giving a scouting report, just trying to delay crying...

I’m so glad this picture was found. All I could hear in his voice was “I want to hug my dad” when the different networks were interviewing him about his family.

You say that like it’s a bad thing.

Good. Send ‘em over seas. But any dollar that goes in Jesus’ basket on American soil is being taxed.

It is hilarious to me that all of the things the Bible says not to do and these conservative christians pick being gay. Leave people alone. WTF is wrong with y’all.

Well they do tend to win the most Darwin Awards of all other groups.

Conservatives are like forever backwards world day but not just words, its how they obtain knowledge, like a “how do you human” version but that “how do you human” is dyslexic at obtaining knowledge or any of life understandings.

I just want to hear what one person expects an lgbt person to do. I guess be asexual, live a lie or just die. But these are usually the same people who believe being gay is a choice. Yes people choose to be treated like this by people like him.

The worst homophobes usually are. And that’s the reason why they relentlessly attack the LGBT community.

I guess the issue is that some people believe that their religion or particular sect *requires* them to go out and proselytize/evangelize/force people to accept their religion. in turn, I think that they also believe that things like “pride” events force them to accept something that they don’t believe.

When I am Emperor, my first official act will be to tax the piss out of every church and religious organization to 1) pay for everyone’s college 2) pay for everyone’s healthcare, and 3) pay for the infrastructure and defense upgrades we need. Scientology will pay twice whatever everyone else pays. Whew! There might…

I wouldn’t be suprised if he’s secretly gay.

Here’s an idea.
