    Unfortunately after 50, you can get popped out of nowhere with a heart attack, and that's that. This is especially true for males. Females start later with the unexpected heart attacks.

    A local LA celebrity just died of a heat attack, 2 days after Albini. Entertainment reporter Sam Rubin, who appeared totally healthy and on TV earlier in the morning, on May 9. Later that day, he abruptly died of a heart attack at age 64.

    Rubin was well liked and well regarded in LA media, and many expressed shock that a seemingly healthy 64-year-old would go to work, joke around on TV, and then abruptly die later that day.

    Poker player Eric Shimp died at age 66, right after cashing in a WSOP event in 2022. He played the $1500 Limit Holdem event on June 6, making Day 2. He then cashed in the event on June 7, but busted before making Day 3. He went to dinner that night with friends, and everything seemed fine. He had an abrupt heart attack on June 8, at the time he would have been playing the event had he made Day 3. Had he passed during the event, it would be the first time ever that a player died at the table in the middle of a WSOP event.

    A verified source?

    Look at the picture of the article in the second post in this thread. That was written by Albini. He admitted 3 years ago on Twitter that he wrote this stuff.

    It's not like these were questionable allegations he denied.
    What he wrote about was something he had seen or was aware of. That’s equal to the depiction of events described by a serviceman witnessing Auschwitz

    Nothing written implies support or glorification of the subject

    He’s actually comparing the “horrors” of punk rock to real horrors that exist

    can’t believe no one has mentioned one of Steve Abini’s greatest contributions to music

    was such a great guy, and definitely not a too-cool-for-school, old man yelling at clouds

    typical limousine liberal douche

    Hilarious. I wasn't even aware of that song.

    The fact that the left made a hero out of this guy speaks volumes.

    But he hated Republicans and was a good record producer, so that absolves him of all sins.

    Imagine trying to shit on a dead guy just because most people generally liked him, but you had a political disagreement at the poker tables.

    On brand for Druff.

    Probably completely and entirely irrelevant to proceedings but Albini won two, proving it wasn't a fluke.

    Never said he was dead. It's possible he was on a list of people who I said vanished and might be dead.

    I'm shitting on a hypocritical limousine liberal who looked down on everyone who wasn't as woke as he was, but in reality was a racist homophobe who wrote disgusting articles praising his buddy's extreme pedo fan art.

    Unless you think writing about "spuzz" in a "toddler's puny hole" is the mark of a good human being.

    I'd have written this stuff when he was alive if I knew it, but I didn't care enough about him to look up details of his life. One political argument on Twitter in 2022 wasn't going to send me on a googling spree. I found this pedo stuff thanks to others on Twitter talking about him after he died.

    If he were still alive, I'd have brought it up to him directly on Twitter (if he ever came back, that is).

    Would you have trusted Steve Albini to watch your kids, even for an hour?
