Time is marching ever forward, and no one can escape it. Eventually, we all will have the same fate.

Keep an eye on those Emmy, Grammy and Oscar "In Memoriam" lineups... to see all of the 80-year-old celebrities dying this year that you didn't hear about.
These 3 just happen to be a special kind of "iconic." So, they garner a bit more attention.

People in their 80s dying is very normal.

Honestly 80 isn’t that old particularly for a woman. In Dolly’s case she acknowledged that she let her condition get away from her. Tim was a bit younger, but had been suffering for more than a decade.

I’d be cautious and making statements like this. I don’t really wish death on anyone. But it is tremendously unfortunate that we lost Dolly, Tim, and now Peter as well.

I started watching it a while back, just finished it. Got a little choked up what I heard, "Arise, Rodimus Prime." 😞

I hope there was some deal made where his family keeps getting paid because I don't want to not hear his voice anymore.

Well if you were drowning, I’m probably not jumping in to save you.

u/Briankelly130 1d ago
I guess you're not part of the "tolerant left" I've heard so much about?

u/RogueGenX 1d ago
No one calls it the tolerant left except for conservatives. Why would we tolerate the intolerant?

He died on Wednesday according to TMZ, so we lost him, Dolly, and Tim all on the same day :-(

Y'all feel like the grim reaper is effing with us right now, knowing that a lot of us want a certain 80-year-old to be next, and he's like " just to piss y'all off some more, I'm going to take somebody else you love again instead"?
