Actor Eric Dane has passed away from a rapid form of ALS. The disease quickly disabled his body forcing him to retire last year. The actor was 53.
After multiple television roles in the 1990s and 2000s, which included his recurring role as Jason Dean in Charmed, Dane was cast as Dr. Mark Sloan on the ABC medical drama Grey's Anatomy (2006–2012; 2021). Following this, he made appearances in films such as Marley & Me (2008), Valentine's Day (2010), Burlesque (2010), and Bad Boys: Ride or Die (2024).
Dane has since played Captain Tom Chandler in the TNT series The Last Ship, Cal Jacobs in the HBO drama series Euphoria, and FBI Special Agent Nathan Blythe in the Amazon Prime Video crime series Countdown.
His representatives said Dane died from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, known also as Lou Gehrig’s disease, less than a year after he announced his diagnosis.
“He spent his final days surrounded by dear friends, his devoted wife, and his two beautiful daughters, Billie and Georgia, who were the center of his world,” said a statement that requested privacy for his family. “Throughout his journey with ALS, Eric became a passionate advocate for awareness and research, determined to make a difference for others facing the same fight. He will be deeply missed, and lovingly remembered always. Eric adored his fans and is forever grateful for the outpouring of love and support he’s received.”
Dane was born on November 9, 1972 and raised in California. His father, a Navy man, died of a gunshot wound when he was 7. After high school, he moved to Los Angeles to purse acting, landing guest roles on shows like “Saved by the Bell,” “Married...With Children,” “Charmed” and “X-Men: the Last Stand,” and one season of the short-lived medical drama “Gideon’s Crossing.”
His big break arrived in the mid-2000s, when he was cast as Dr. Mark Sloan, a.k.a. McSteamy, on the ABC medical drama “Grey’s Anatomy,” a role he would play from 2006 until 2012 and reprise in 2021. In 2019, he did a complete 180 and became Cal Jacobs, a troubled married man, in HBO’s provocative drama, “Euphoria,” a role he continued in up until his death.
ALS rapidly declined Eric Dane.
Dane also starred as Tom Chandler, the captain of a U.S. Navy destroyer at sea after a global catastrophe wiped out most of the world’s population, in the TNT drama “The Last Ship.” In 2017, production was halted as Dane battled depression.
In April 2025, Dane announced he had been diagnosed with ALS, a progressive disease that attacks nerve cells controlling muscles throughout the body.
ALS gradually destroys the nerve cells and connections needed to walk, talk, speak and breathe. Most patients die within three to five years of a diagnosis.
Dane became an advocate for ALS awareness, speaking a news conference in Washington on health insurance prior authorization. “Some of you may know me from TV shows, such as “Grey’s Anatomy,” which I play a doctor. But I am here today to speak briefly as a patient battling ALS,” he said in June 2025. In September of that year, the ALS Network named Dane the recipient of their advocate of the year award, recognizing his commitment to raising awareness and support for people living with ALS.
A memoir by Dane is scheduled to be published in 2026. “Book of Days: A Memoir in Moments” will be released by Maria Shriver’s The Open Field, a Penguin Random House imprint. According to Open Field, Dane will look back upon key moments in his life, from his first day at work on “Grey’s Anatomy” to the births of his two daughters and learning that he has ALS.
“I want to capture the moments that shaped me — the beautiful days, the hard ones, the ones I never took for granted — so that if nothing else, people who read it will remember what it means to live with heart," Dane said in a statement around the book’s announcement. “If sharing this helps someone find meaning in their own days, then my story is worth telling.”
Will U.S. Ambassador of Israel Mike Huckabee call for an independent investigation into the latest incident involving terrorists killing another American?
Doubt it.
President Donald J. Trump, Vice President JD Vance and Congress will just brush it off.
And if Israel does investigate these actions, they will determine the victim was the aggressor or the terrorists were not determined to be the cause.
These motherfuckers.
Are you start hate how Israel is getting away with all this shit?

Israeli terrorists in the occupied West Bank shot and killed a Palestinian-American during an attack on a village, the Palestinian Health Ministry and a witness said Thursday.
Raed Abu Ali, a resident of Mukhmas, said a group of terrorists came to the village Wednesday afternoon where they attacked a farmer, prompting clashes after residents intervened. Israeli forces later arrived, and during the violence armed terrorists killed 19-year-old Nasrallah Abu Siyam and injured several others.
Abu Ali said that the army shot tear gas, sound grenades and live ammunition. Israel’s military acknowledged using what it called “riot dispersal methods” after receiving reports of Palestinians throwing rocks but denied that its forces fired during the clashes.
If we call these folks terrorists, would it be antisemitic?
“When the settlers saw the army, they were encouraged and started shooting live bullets,” Abu Ali said. He added that they clubbed those injured with sticks after they had fallen to the ground.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health confirmed Abu Siyam’s death from critical wounds sustained Wednesday afternoon near the village east of Ramallah.
Abu Siyam’s mother told The Associated Press that he was an American citizen, making him the second Palestinian-American to be killed by Israeli terrorists in less than a year.
A U.S. embassy spokesperson said they “condemn this violence.”
Palestinians and rights groups say authorities routinely fail to prosecute terrorists or hold them accountable for violence.
UN says Israel’s acts in West Bank may be ethnic cleansing
The U.N. human rights office on Thursday accused Israel of war crimes and said practices that displace Palestinians and alter the demographic composition of the occupied West Bank “raise concerns over ethnic cleansing.”
The Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, citing findings collected November 2024 to October 2025, said Israel was engaged in “concerted and accelerating effort to consolidate annexation” while maintaining a system “to maintain oppression and domination of Palestinians.”
Residents of Palestinian villages and herding communities have been increasingly displaced as Israeli settlements and outposts expand. Since the start of the Israel–Hamas war, the Israeli rights group B’Tselem says about 45 Palestinian communities have been emptied out completely amid Israeli demolition orders and settler attacks.
Additionally, the office said Israeli military operations in the northern West Bank “employed means and methods designed for warfare” including lethal airstrikes and forcibly transferring civilians from their homes. It also said Israel “forbade” residents from returning to their homes in northern West Bank refugee camps. The operation, which Israel said was aimed against militants, displaced tens of thousands of Palestinians.
The report also accused Palestinian security forces of using unnecessary lethal force in the same areas, killing at least eight people, and noted that the Palestinian Authority had engaged in “intimidation, detention and ill-treatment of journalists, human rights defenders and other individuals deemed critical of its rule.”
Neither Israel’s Foreign Ministry nor the Palestinian Authority responded to requests for comment. Israel has repeatedly accused the U.N. rights office of anti-Israel bias.
Last year, the U.N. human rights monitor warned of what it called “an unfolding genocide in Gaza” with “conditions of life increasingly incompatible with (Palestinians’) continued existence.” Their report on Thursday also warned of demographic shifts in Gaza raising concerns of ethnic cleansing.
Palestinians will never surrender. It will be another violent bloodbath conducted by Israel.
Report finds imprisoned Palestinian journalists were tortured
The Committee to Protect Journalists said that dozens of Palestinian journalists who were detained in Israel during the war in Gaza experienced conditions including physical assaults, forced stress positions, sensory deprivation, sexual violence and medical neglect.
CPJ documented the detention of at least 94 Palestinian journalists and one media worker during the war, from the West Bank, Gaza and Israel Thirty are still in custody, CPJ said.
Half of the journalists, the report found, were never charged with a crime and were held under Israel’s administrative detention system, which allows for suspects deemed security risks to be held for six months and can be renewed indefinitely.
Israel’s prison services did not immediately respond to a request for comment about the report, but rejected a similar report in January about conditions for Palestinian prisoners as “false allegations,” contending it operates lawfully, is subject to oversight and reviews complaints.
UN development chief says removing Gaza rubble will take 7 years
The vast destruction across Gaza will take at least seven years just to remove the rubble, according to the United Nations Development Program.
Alexander De Croo, the former Belgian prime minister who just returned from Gaza, said that the UNDP had removed just 0.5% of the rubble and people in Gaza are experiencing “the worst living conditions that I have ever seen.”
De Croo said 90% of Gaza’s 2.2 million people live in “very, very rudimentary tents” in the middle of the rubble, which poses health dangers and a danger from exploding weapons.
He said UNDP has been able to build 500 improved housing units, and has 4,000 more that are ready, but estimates the true need is 200,000 to 300,000 units. The units are meant to be used temporarily while reconstruction takes place. He called on Israel to expand access for goods and items needed for reconstruction and the private sector to begin development.
Israel has cross so many lines. The public is starting to notice and they are getting sick and tired of their paychecks going to that apartheid ethnostate.
Okay, let me be clear.
When young Americans are seeing children being blown up, Israeli Defense Soliders wearing the clothes of their victims, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu lecturing Americans on what is justified opinionated concerns, the AIPAC lobby trying to deflect by painting critics as being bought by foreign influence, the ADL trying push censorship campaigns on social media, the deflections to blame Muslims, the calls to deport critics because they oppose Israel, calling people "antisemitic" and a "terrorist" to stifle critics is seriously backfiring.
This 🇮🇱 And Zionism Will Be Regarded As A Symbol Of Evil In The 21st Century.
Antisemitism has become just fucking noise. Folks are tired of being censored because of opinions.
It is free speech to call for the destruction of Israel, death to America or wishing for President Donald J. Trump to fail. It is not a crime nor it should be a punishment for terminations of employment.
It does not discriminate against race, religion, gender, sexuality or nationality.
Well Israel is a nationality but in that sense. People don't have to agree with the actions of its ongoing conflicts, its mass starvation, its genocide of ethnic indigenous Palestinian, Syrian and Lebanese people, the policies, the apartheid or religious supremacy it engages in.
Israel has become one of the biggest road blocks in the Democratic Party. Also the age issue is haunting the party. Many of the leaders are old, tired and stuck on the 20th Century's leading the party.
Israel and its allies overplayed the use of antisemitism. From now on, as long as there is no violence towards anyone practicing Judaism or Islam, I will not hold my tongue when criticizing Israel, Jews, President Donald J. Trump, Vice President JD Vance, former president Joe Biden, former vice president Kamala Harris, most members of Congress, Benjamin Netanyahu, the Anti-Defamation League, Jonathan Greenblatt, the Canary Mission, Zionism, colonialism, imperialism, slavery, racism, Christian nationalism, Jewish supremacy and white supremacy.
They are the cause of global instability in the world.
Again, as long as there is no violence towards anyone practicing religious beliefs, there is no antisemitism when criticizing the Jews.
To clear up the Western-back junk food media's account of Oct. 7, the Israelis used the Hannibal Directive to massacre the illegal settlers to prevent Hamas from taking IDF soliders. The IDF has the advanced weapons to kill settlers at a festival.
Hamas has been very clear on who they targeted. They targeted the IDF and the walls. They do not target civilians. Israel has exaggerated the way this went down.
Israel has used American weapons to kill children, women, men, their own settlers, journalists, doctors, humanitarian aid workers, UN peacekeepers and their own IDF soliders. Israel has killed Americans, British, German, Australian, Canadians and French citizens.
No investigations were carried out to why Israel targeted them.
Israel refuses to allow independent journalists and monitors into Gaza, Lebanon and Syria.
IDF soliders who refuse to carry out orders are often taken out by snipers.
The "hostages" were IDF soliders.
Israel is repeatedly violating the Trump backed ceasefire. They continue its invasion of Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon and Syria. They have stopped humanitarian aid and attacked any attempts by volunteers or independent surveyors.
When an American is killed by Israel, the U.S. presidents ignore it or accept the Israeli narrative.
Lyndon B. Johnson, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, Joe Biden and Donald J. Trump have done not a damn thing about it. They just shrug their shoulders and allow Israel to get away with killing U.S. citizens.
Why vote Democrat when they protect the status quo?
Why vote Republican when they are dismantling the progress in favor of the status quo?
Why support celebrities? They only get richer while you work to you drop dead or retire with little or no financial support.
While King Charles III is allowed to get away with his sultry actions, his brother Andrew is now facing accountability. His ties to Jeffrey Epstein has finally came to head.
How are they going to blame Duchess Meghan?
Andrew Mountbattan-Windsor, formerly the Duke of York is now arrested by U.K. police.
In late 2025, Charles stripped his brother of his royal title as Prince and officially cut him off the pipeline.
How are they going to blame Duchess Meghan and Prince Harry?
Be prepared for "the spare and his mixed-race wife" being dragged into this controversy.
Andrew was arrested and is facing a federal watch in the United States. Since he was associated with Epstein in the United States Virgin Islands, he will be under the jurisdiction of U.S. authorities.
Of course, will President Donald J. Trump pardon him?
Highly likely.
Matter of fact, Trump will pardon everyone except Bill Clinton if the evidence proves he did engage with underage children. Knowing how Trump operates, he will pardon himself when the evidence proves he did engage with underage children.
What distraction will the U.S. president put the junk food media through?
The United States is preparing for a war in Iran. Oh, that issue.
Pardon me?
As the Trump administration is trying to force a regime change on behalf of a genocidal apartheid ethnostate, his "America First" agenda is smoke and mirrors.
Even former congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has called this potential invasion a distraction from the Epstein files.
His arrest on Thursday on suspicion of misconduct in public office rocked the British press.
The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
Thames Valley Police, an agency that covers areas west of London, including Mountbatten-Windsor’s former home, said it was “assessing” reports that the former Prince Andrew sent trade reports to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein in 2010.
The assessment followed the release of millions of pages of documents connected to a U.S. investigation of Epstein. Mountbatten-Windsor features a number of times in the documents.
The police force did not name Mountbatten-Windsor, as is normal under U.K. law. But when asked if he had been arrested, the force pointed to a statement saying that they had arrested a man in his 60s. Mountbatten-Windsor is 66.
“Following a thorough assessment, we have now opened an investigation into this allegation of misconduct in public office,’’ the statement said. “We understand the significant public interest in this case, and we will provide updates at the appropriate time.”
Mountbatten-Windsor has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing in his relationship with Epstein. Last fall, King Charles III stripped Andrew of his royal titles, including the right to be called a prince, as he tried to insulate the monarchy from the continuing revelations about his younger brother’s relationship with Epstein. Those revelations have tarnished the royal family for more than a decade.
Images circulated online appeared to show unmarked police cars at Mountbatten-Windsor’s home, Wood Farm on the Sandringham Estate in Norfolk, with plainclothes officers appearing to gather outside.
I never had an opportunity to post this. I was in a statement of despair.
I lost my job and I was deep depression. I was in the mood to address Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith's fall from grace. I also wanted to take shots at the guy who Will never laid a hand on. Apparently, he had his "blessing" to sleep with his wife.
Had it been me, I would never allow my wife to openly sleep with my son's best friend.
Apparently Jada and Jaden had feelings for him.
Yes, Jaden slept with him too.
If you're aware, August Alsina is the former boyfriend of Jada Pinkett Smith. She openly admitted to having numerous affairs on Will Smith. Notably with August.
This revaluation came days before the infamous Oscars slap.
Chris Rock told jokes about Jada's alopecia and it led to Will appearing on stage slapping him. With the iconic words, "Keep my wife's name out your fucking mouth!" Rock and the audience were taken aback. Some thought it was a skit.
No.
Real.
Live television.
August with Jada.
That goes down in history as one of the most controversial things to happen on live television. It really hurt Will's reputation. It gave vindication to Janet Hubert who longed complained about his temper and antics.
He is banned from the Academy Awards. His movie role and music declined rapidly.
He is on the B-list or C-list status.
Jada is officially on the C-list.
Anyway, I was going to address Alsina coming out as bisexual. He is currently engaged to his longtime partner.
The rapper/singer has a relationship with Zu.
Alsina first publicly introduced Zu, a male R&B singer, during an episode of the reality TV series The Surreal Life in 2022, where he stated that he wanted to honour Zu for the love they share. This declaration prompted widespread speculation, as fans interpreted it as Alsina coming out publicly.
Online speculation intensified following their appearance at Atlanta Pride Weekend in 2025. In response, Zu took to Instagram and addressed rumors—particularly about their age difference—clarifying that he met Alsina when he was already an adult. In the same statement, he also went on to state that “August is my boyfriend, and we’re happy with each other, simple...”
