Announcing the political death of Joe Biden, on the 2020 campaign trail in New Hampshire, on Tuesday.

Don’t turn this thread into a politics thread, please.

Not really a celebrity but none-the-less:

Frederick Koch, who kept a low profile as an arts benefactor rather than joining the family oil business that became Koch Industries, has died, according to the New York Times. He was 86.

His high-profile billionaire younger brothers, Charles and David, ran Koch Industries and bankrolled libertarian causes, but Frederick rarely saw them and preferred to live in relative anonymity, according to the Times.

Mr Koch used his share of the family wealth to support a career as a benefactor of the arts and historic preservation.

He amassed extensive collections of rare books, musical manuscripts and fine and decorative arts, including Marie Antoinette’s canopied bed.

Mr Olsen said Mr Koch’s entire estate will be used to establish a foundation to promote the study of literature, history and the arts.

Got a bit excited there for a bit

RIP to a brilliant man:

Peter Pangquee, who died in Darwin last month at the age of 85, is being remembered as a “superb bushman” and a real-life Crocodile Dundee whose intimate knowledge of vast tracts of land in the Top End contributed to the World Heritage listing of Kakadu National Park.

RIP Andy.
