James Harrison
"One of the world's most prolific blood donors - whose plasma saved the lives of more than 2 million babies - has died. James Harrison died in his sleep at a nursing home in New South Wales, Australia on 17 February, his family said on Monday. He was 88.
Known in Australia as the man with the golden arm, Harrison's blood contained a rare antibody, Anti-D, which is used to make medication given to pregnant mothers whose blood is at risk of attacking their unborn babies. The Australian Red Cross Blood Service who paid tribute to Harrison, said he had pledged to become a donor after receiving transfusions while undergoing a major chest surgery when he was 14. He started donating his blood plasma when he was 18 and continued doing so every two weeks until he was 81."

I immediately had the Steelers on my mind when I saw the name, not that it should minimize this James Harrison.
Definition of a hero.

Yeah, he really is.
Here's a bit more information on him: https://www.kktv.com/2025/03/04/jam...edited-with-saving-24-million-babies-dies-88/
"Despite an aversion to needles, he made 1,173 donations after he turned 18 in 1954 until he was forced to retire in 2018 at age 81."
"Australia has only 200 anti-D donors who help 45,000 mothers and their babies annually.
Lifeblood chief executive Stephen Cornelissen said Harrison had hoped that someone in Australia would one day beat his donation record."

Local legend - Andy Issac, 44, passed away this morning. Detroit super fan and one of my favorite follows on Twitter (@WorldOfIssac), blogged about cancer & food around Motown for years before Social Media blew up.
He was first diagnosed with Hodgkin Lymphoma in 2006, beat it, and endured several relapses. Always upbeat, inspiring & comedic regardless of what was going on in his personal life.
profile from a few years ago
Never met him, just one of his 92K follows, but whenever I saw his icon (Isaac from The Love Boat) while scrolling I knew my day was about to get a little better. Some people give so much of themselves & the world is a better place because of it.

There must have been a later incarnation of Space Ghost, unless he started when he was 7 years old.
(Original cartoon was in 1966, with Gary Owens of Laugh-In fame doing the voice.)

Yeah, sorry, I should have specified. George Lowe was the voice of Space Ghost for:

Dang, man. I loved Space Ghost Coast to Coast. The episode with Beck was one of my all-time favorites.

There was a time in the '70s when Ayers' brand of music had a pretty big cultural footprint. It wasn't easily classifiable (though the music industry made up a "smooth jazz" label for it because the record store aisles apparently demanded it), but it got a lot of cross-format attention. R&B and MOR formats played it - so did dentist offices. A lot of these artists could sell out basketball arenas in 30 seconds for their concerts without hit singles - Ayers, Chick Corea, Stanley Clarke, Phyllis Hyman, Weather Report, Sea Level, George Benson (who went onto massive pop chart success, unlike most of the others I listed).RIP Roy Ayers

I'm hearing she died first, a week before he did, of Hantavirus. Then he died of heart disease/alzheimer's complications. Maybe he wasn't in a state to take care of himself and was mentally not aware of her death?

Just looked at Morgan Freeman's list of movies. Good lord. 1989 by itself was phenomenal... with Lean on Me, Driving Miss Daily, and Glory. The stretch from '92 to '95 isn't bad either, with Unforgiven, Shawshank, and Seven. I could go on and on. What an unbelievable career.
1 of 4, and I’d agree with you that Glory should have been- he won an Oscar for it. And then you’re like, Glory with Morgan Freeman - what are his 4, and down the rabbit hole you go.

Brian James made that first Damned album with his playing and the Damned weren't the same when he left the band even though they cut one great album without him (Machine Gun Etiquette). RIP to a punk legend just for that work.

Former NBA player Junior Bridgeman, 71
Saw him play a lot at the old Mecca arena in Milwaukee as a kid. He went the other way as part of the Kareem Abdul-Jabbar trade to the Lakers and became one of the great sixth men of his time. Off the court, became a multi millionaire franchisee and later owned Jet and Ebony magazines.
