I wrote a bit about grief. Not for a person but the world that was.

The World That Was
It’s easy to be overwhelmed by the world. I mean, look at … everything. Massive ongoing wars everywhere, Fascism on the rise, exploding inequality. Shit is fucked up and more fucked up on a global scale than it ever was in my life time (I was born in 1979). And with the media landscape and […]

A post-C section mother who was an asylum seeker seeking a visa for crime victims
-- and who had a newborn baby struggling in the NICU
-- was held in Broadview in Chicago with no medical attention (POST C SECTION),
no breast pump (right after birth),
and no treatment for her diabetes.
MONSTERS.

The other ongoing criticism is "well actually, iTunes was always bad".
No, it wasn't. When it was released it was _way_ better than any other jukebox sofware.
You could actually find stuff easily, manage playlists super quick. It ripped CDs, including getting track titles and managing files, with literally _no clicks required_.
Burning CDs took like two clicks.
While admittedly lock-in, it would sync your iPod with no clicks after dropping it in the iPod dock. And it was super fast. (Other manufacturers didn't have anything close to this convenient).
Other jukebox software didn't do any of this.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
