The Iron Sheik is dead, and with him goes the very last connection I had with the Bird Site.
His account was perhaps the very epitome of why Twitter was fun in the first place. His commitment to the bit was legendary. But you'd expect that from a pro wrestling legend.
In his honor, I say: TELL ALL JABRONI TO GO FUCK THEMSELF YOU DUMB SON OF A BITCH
The #IronSheik passed away. God bless him .. thank you for the timeless entertainment in the WWF* #RIP
As a kid, The Iron Sheik (i.e., Hossein Khosrow Ali Vaziri) was one of my favorite Pro Wrestlers.
I even had a toy of him.

Hossein Khosrow Ali Vaziri
One of the last links to the OLD TIME-y Wrestling. The heart of Twitter. A man of few words. A man of passion and grace. RIP.

“She was on top of the world at that point,” Meeker said in an interview Thursday. “She could have played anywhere in the world. But she came here because it was backwater. She was attracted by the fact that it was a quiet place, a beautiful place.”

With all the sad news of #TinaTurner and #KeithAnger passing, it might be easy to overlook the death of bassist #MarkAdams, of #DoomMetal legends, #StVitus.
I saw them play #Southampton just over 10 years ago. Mark was playing bass just five metres away from me. It all seems like yesterday, and oh so very strange in retrospect.

Wow. RIP. It's a weird feeling when a legend like this passes. Someone I've never met, but also someone who had such a profound impact on so much of the media I enjoy. https://www.reuters.com/world/singer-tina-turner-dies-aged-83-2023-05-24/
Tina Turner had a quiet period after she escaped from her abusive ex-husband. In the 1980s, she bounced back. While she had numerous hits thereafter, one stands above them all: "The Best." Here's the story of how that song was written and took on a life of its own — most recently becoming a recurring motif in "Schitt's Creek," a wedding anthem for LGBTQ+ folk, and the song President Biden played after his acceptance speech in November 2020.

RIP, Tina Turner. No one else like her, before or after.
Rest in peace, Tina Turner. God knows she didn't get enough of it in this life.
If you only know Tina's work via studio albums, PLEASE: do yourself a favor and check out videos of her live performances. This is a full length recording of her record-setting performance in Rio de Janeiro, 1988. I particularly love her cover of "Addicted to Love," with which she opens the performance.

In Extreme Programming, we picked a new pair programmer every day. I decided that was nonsense, and adopted Pete. We paired for the next nineteen years. He preferred the title "alpha" to "principal staff," but he shared his opinions whether you wanted them or not. He logged off this morning. Rest easy, friend.
P.S., this is what he thought of YAML.
