Weekend Discussion Thread: What Do We Do?

Alert reader Andrew has a bit of a change of pace:

Awhile ago you had a thread on what Msties find funny. Along that same line, I’d like to know what Msties do for a living. Are we computer-hacking photophobiacs who live in our parents’ basement, or are we other societal cornerstones like firefighters, police officers, professors, or clergy? What do we DO?

Interesting! Okay, don’t give out more info than you are comfortable with. And you don’t need to say WHERE you do it or give specific company names or anything.

Me: I’m an editor at a newspaper. Yes, they still exist. You?

RIP Ray Barrett

QUEENSLAND, AUSTRALIA — Veteran Australian actor Ray Barrett, who became a familiar face on both British and Australian television, died in a hospital Sept. 8 after falling at his home and suffering a brain hemorrhage. He was 82.
Early Twin Cities MSTies might have caught his voice work as Commander Shore and Titan on the TV series “Stingray” shown in episode K01- INVADERS FROM THE DEEP.

Here’s a Reuters obituary. Here’s the BBC report. Here’s an Australian report.

Thanks to “J/P=?” for the heads up.
