ICON Actor Christopher Plummer has died. Plummer, who appeared in movies like The Sound of Music and Knives Out, was 91. The Emmy, Tony, and Oscar wins make Plummer the only Canadian ever to win the “Triple Crown of Acting.” He also earned a Grammy nomination in 1986, bringing him close to the “EGOT” — a concept popularized by 30 Rock for the very small number of performers who have won all four of those trophies (ComicBook.com). “Chris was an extraordinary man who deeply loved and respected his profession with great old fashion manners, self deprecating humor and the music of words,” said Lou Pitt, Plummer’s longtime friend and manager (via Deadline). “He was a National Treasure who deeply relished his Canadian roots. Through his art and humanity, he touched all of our hearts and his legendary life will endure for all generations to come. He will forever be with us.”
For many of us he was best known as the verbose General Chang in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country (below).
CRY HAVOC!#RIP to #StarTrek‘s General Chang himself, actor Christopher Plummer, who passed away this week at age 91.

BLACK HISTORY’S GAMING INNOVATOR When at-home video game consoles were first introduced, they had one game apiece wired into the actual hardware. Then, engineer Jerry Lawson invented a console with interchangeable gaming cartridges. It was called the Channel F and it was released in 1976. Unfortunately, Lawson and the Channel F have largely been forgotten, until recently. The 2020 Netflix docuseries High Score features Lawson’s family talking about their father’s legacy and how the Channel F changed gaming forever. In the industry, Lawson is often referred to as the father of modern gaming; however, the vast majority of the population has no idea just how integral he was in the way games are played today (via CBR).
In January, former Nintendo of America President and current New York Videogame Critics Circle Board Member Reggie Fils-Aimé announced on Twitter that Lawson will receive an Andrew Yoon Legend Award, which Fils-Aimé received himself in 2020.
Honored to announce that Jerry Lawson will receive an Andrew Yoon Legend Award from the New York Videogame Critics Circle. His innovations in cartridge technology led to consoles capable of playing multiple games. A legend in every sense of the word.https://t.co/1btNdV5F01 pic.twitter.com/03Dxbsgz5O

“Without the brilliance of Mr. Lawson (photo below) and his cartridge innovations, we would not have had any of the great consoles we’ve had during these 60 years of storied game history,” said Fils-Aimé said in a statement. “Not the Atari consoles, not the Sega consoles, not even the Nintendo Switch, which still uses a cartridge-inspired card.”
PILLOW FIGHT According to NBC News: David Hogg plans to launch his own pillow company with the goal of competing against embattled bedding company MyPillow. The idea was posed to Hogg, 20, in a tweet from entrepreneur William LeGate on Thursday that questioned whether the duo should start a pillow company to “put MyPillow out of business.”
Yes- @williamlegate and I really are starting a pillow company.
— David Hogg (@davidhogg111) February 4, 2021
The CEO and founder of MyPillow, Mike Lindell, is a vocal supporter of Donald Trump and has repeatedly promoted false claims of fraud about the 2020 presidential election.
LeGate also tweeted about the venture, asking any US-based manufacturers with experience making pillows to reach out to him.
