Sadness

Rest in peace Angela Lansbury. :( Her acting career spanned 8 decades and she used so much of it to help people. She hired older actors so they could keep their union benefits and had a recurring role made for the actress Madlyn Rhue, who had multiple sclerosis. This ensured Madlyn would be able to keep getting medical care.
 
Akira Toriyama died. He created Dragon Ball and many other titles, plus he did amazing character design work for some video games. He was the designer for my favorite rpg of all time, Chrono Trigger :(
 
Former President Jimmy Carter died. He wasn't known as a great president. All of our presidents have done war crimes and killed people and destroyed countries. However, he devoted the rest of his life to good causes: building and repairing houses with Habitat for Humanity and helping to eradicate guinea worm disease. He had integrity, which many of our current politicians lack. There are some very polarized social media posts going on about him right now but I think after his time in office he showed himself to be a decent human being.
