RIP someone or another

[Knuckledragger]

RIP Melissa Hortman, a state representative from Minnesota.  Shot and killed in what was pretty clearly a targeted act of terrorism.

RIP Amanda Feilding, the Countess of Wemyss and March (aka Lady Mindbender). Now that’s an unusual life.

RIP Arthur Folasa Ah Loo, an innocent bystander shot and killed while peacekeepers were pursuing someone with an AR-15, at the No Kings rally in Salt Lake City.  He was a beloved member of the community, and "dressed" some pretty famous people in the style of his Pacific Islander culture.

RIP P. Adams Sitney, film scholar of the Avant-Garde

“There’s in the art world in America now a deep hatred of the idea of originality and inspiration, a deep hatred of revelation,” he said in 2015. “There’s some ridiculous notion that art can be democratic. Art is the least democratic of all things!”
