Diane Keaton
January 5, 1946 – October 11, 2025

Born in Los Angeles Diane Keaton was considered to be an actress' actress and practically Hollywood royalty. Sadly she passed away earlier today at the age of 79. Leaving behind a body of work that comprised some of the film industry's most revered cinematic works of the post Baby Boom era.

She will be immortalized in such an eclectic film career that featured classics like "Annie Hall", "The Godfather" film franchise, "Looking For Mister Goodbar", "Manhattan", "Father Of The Bride", "Manhattan Murder Mystery" and more.

She worked with some of the most notable names in the entertainment industry like her former spouse Woody Allen, comedian Steve Martin, director Francis Ford Coppola, Academy Award winning actors Robert Duvall and Al Pacino. She even performed in a stage production of the 60s counter culture cult classic play, "Hair".

To write a concise epitaph encapsulating the legacy of such a diverse and talented actress who breathed so much life into her more memorable roles is extremely difficult to say the least. Suffice it to say while her Hollywood peers morn, legions of adoring film fanatics fawn over the wealth of memories she left them.
Rest in peace Miss Keaton. Thank you for your contributions to your art.

This is categorically false. Ringo Starr made no official statement about Charlie Kirk's death to the press. Nor would he engage in any political posturing in regards to American politics.

BREAKING— Ringo Starr steps into the storm. His words cut like glass, his tone unflinching. The world listens.
ABC has pulled Jimmy Kimmel Live! indefinitely. The reason? Words—reckless, sharp, and cruel—aimed at Charlie Kirk. Words that should never have crossed the line.
▶️ Read his powerful statement here! https://thebeatles.vietut.com/breaking-ringo-starr-steps-into-the-storm-his-words-cut-like-glass-his-tone-unflinching-the-world-listens/

Ringo’s voice trembles, but not with fear. With fire. “This is more than television. This is about respect. About dignity. About the weight of a name that millions carry in their hearts.”
The silence that follows is deafening. A silence charged with grief, outrage, and unity.
He doesn’t plead. He demands. He calls the industry to account. He reminds them that Charlie’s memory is not a punchline. Not a target. Not disposable.
Every sentence lands like a drumbeat. Heavy. Final. Unforgettable.
In that moment, Ringo is not just a Beatle. He is a witness. A guardian. A voice for the voiceless.
And across the world, one truth rises above the noise: Charlie Kirk will not be mocked. He will be remembered.

According to this health and wellness editor at Time magazine we are in an era where narcissistic behavior needs to be carefully navigated. In order to avoid uncomfortable situations we should tactfully dance around them by enabling narcissists with pandering verbiage. Else we may find ourselves in a very bad situation under authoritarian lifestyle infringement hurtling towards Autocracy apparently.

Plus, tips for better communication.
