Michael Brooks not being around anymore really makes me even madder about Taibbi's stupid loving remarks today defending Andrew loving Sullivan because "we need intellectual argument to keep us responsible."

What a stupid loving rear end in a top hat, like there are a number of leftists at any level with power to pull any argument away from the disingenuous frameworks established by right-wing conservatives and their caping neo-liberal, fake opposition

he is incredibly mad that you are not following the rules, which he followed, when he moved to the blasted-out wasteland of Russia to take complete advantage of their suffering

yeah, at his age a "sudden illness" usually means "undiagnosed heart defect" or, uh, it's a euphemism for something else.

Yeah, my cousin died of an undiagnosed heart defect. He was alone in his apartment and he took a nap on his couch, his airflow was bad so he lost consciousness, and his heart just gave up. He was 27.

Didn't really follow the Michael Brooks show but loving hell man, the good really do die young, don't they?

i've listen to TMR on and off for a decade and used to wake up early and go for a long walk in the morning listening to it while drinking a mug of coffee, something i should really start doing again. the matt and michael mondays were always great. they did this years before anyone else and did it better than most.

same. i started listening to them since like 2009, and i've been a daily listener ever since. michael's death impacts me in a way that i honestly can say is pretty rare. i've known people in my life that have died, but the relationships would be distant enough (both physically and emotionally) that, while obviously tragic, didn't really hit me in the same way that michael's death is doing right now. michael was a fantastic part of the MR team, and they all had great chemistry and could bounce off eachother. as great as sam, jamie and matt are, it's just not going to feel the same without michael.

Yeah, it's honestly a lot worse than when a celebrity dies. Usually it's "I liked him in that movie/album/sports team, also seemed like a nice guy, bummer I guess."

To see someone use their talents for unequivocal good as the corpus of their life's work, and to do so sincerely is such a rare thing. To see someone die so young, and to see the world denied the rest of their good works makes it seem all the more a travesty.
That's 2020 hell world for you, I guess. Rest in power, friend.

Michael Brooks always seemed to have this combination of wit and giddiness in the shows and clips I saw him in. A lot of the online reaction I've seen is people outpouring how much of a nice guy he was, who cared and was working on doing good.

Just what the hell
