Mira Furlan, an actress from Babylon 5 and Lost.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Larry King died. Looks like from complications of covid. (correction)
Getting different reports as to why he died, CNN was mentioning his covid, MSNBC was saying to exact reason reported as of yet. It would not be a stretch that covid affected some other underlying condition. He was 87.

I forget if it was the '64 or '67 World Series. Hank Aaron was first up to bat. He swung at the first pitch and it went over the wall, no chance it could have been caught. Score after the first ten seconds, 1-0.
