Rest In Peace, Prof. Stephen Hawking.
Damn, Prof. Hawking was a legend and an inspiration. Not only for his scientific achievements, but for challenging his "two years life-expectancy" for over half a century. Other cool, non-science related things include being played by Eddie Redmayne and Benedict Cumberbatch in biopics, repeatedly cameoing in the Simpons, Futurama and Big Bang Theory, as well as being the only person (thus far) to have appeared in an episode of Star Trek as himself.
(When he toured the TNG set, he joked he was "working on that" when they showed him the warp core) Planet Earth is going to miss you, Professor.

Stephen Hawking ❝My advice to other disabled people would be, concentrate on things your disability doesn't prevent you doing well, and don't regret the things it interferes with. Don't be disabled in spirit, as well as physically❞
Not only was Stephen Hawking a brilliant scientist he was a shining beacon of hope and inspiration to the disabled and those with chronic medical conditions. As someone who has epilepsy I can certainly say that he was a positive influence and inspiration. He certainly showed that a medical condition need not completely control or define a persons life.
He was an important example of the worth of disabled people and proved that they are not inferior in a world were certain states still conduct eugenics "purity" programs ie N Korea and until relatively recently Japan. The ignorant idiocy of this "cosmetic" ideology and prejudice in these societies would have isolated, marginalized, sterilized or maybe even euthanized or medically experimented on an "inferior" racial specimen (according to their classification) such as Professor Hawking.
"Although it was unfortunate to get motor neurone disease, I have been very fortunate in almost everything else. I have been lucky to work in theoretical physics at a fascinating time and it' s one of the few areas in which my disability was not a serious handicap. It's also important not to become angry, no matter how difficult life may seem because you can lose all hope if you can't laugh at yourself and life in general."
"Don't give up"

One more Stephen Hawking post, how fitting it is that his remains will rest near those of Sir Isaac Newton.

Actor Verne Troyer, Mini-Me in 'Austin Powers' movies, dead at 49By Randy Lewis | Apr 21, 2018 | 5:25 PMVerne Troyer, the 32-inch tall actor who delighted legions of fans with his comically wicked portrayals of Mini-Me, the pint-sized foil to comedian Mike Myers in the "Austin Powers" spy movie sendups, died Saturday. He was 49. His death was announced on his official Facebook page, in a statement that began, "It is with great sadness and incredibly heavy hearts to write that Verne passed away today. "Verne was an extremely caring individual," the statement said. "He wanted to make everyone smile, be happy, and laugh. Anybody in need, he would help to any extent possible. Verne hoped he made a positive change with the platform he had and worked towards spreading that message every day." In a statement to the Hollywood Reporter, Myers said "Verne was the consummate professional and a beacon of positivity for those of us who had the honor of working with him. It is a sad day, but I hope he is in a better place. He will be greatly missed." ...

R.I.P. Phillip Roth (March 19, 1933 – May 22, 2018).
There are few authors whose books have managed to captivate me the way your "American Pastoral" managed to do: I was unable to leave it till I finished it. Rest in Peace!

I actually knew the man slightly, years ago -- we were both regulars at Siberia bar back around the turn of the century. (I just knew he was a chef someplace, not that he was the guy who had written that New Yorker piece which later became Kitchen Confidential.) The guy I knew was the same guy I later saw on TV, for whatever that's worth.

I'm sad and shocked about Bourdain. He seemed like such a nice and genuine guy. And he was in his golden years.
He was a heavy heroin/coke addict for a decade or two though, and that stuff can wreck your brain chemistry. Maybe he had random bout of bad depression as a result. I guess we'll never know.
