Thread for former US Senate Majority leader Mitch McConnell, now 81 years old: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitch_McConnell Lately, he's been freezing in front of cameras and just today, it happened again: https://www.cnbc.com/2023/08/30/mitch-mcconnell-freezes-struggles-to-speak-in-second-incident-this-summer.html He also suffered a fall last year, and had a suspiciously swollen and reddish hand. There might be all kinds of blood circulation issues, maybe a series of mini-strokes. Seems like he might beat Dianne Feinstein to the punch. He's also a little more notable than her, having presided over the Senate for six years, and being responsible for changing the Supreme Court, by blocking Obama's judges, and basically inventing the 60-seat filibuster, meaning, if you want to get something done in the Senate, you need 60 votes now.

Announced DEAD. No mainstream media coverage yet.

I turn 29 today.

Reuben Sinclair in such good health he's already dead and buried: https://globalnews.ca/news/9926725/canada-oldest-veteran-funeral-reuben-sinclair/

Carter's likely to outlive mymango, particularly if he has a sulk every time Carter appears to be okay. Fucking cry about that one mate.

Why are people reacting with the cry emoji for the fact that Jimmy Carter might see his 99th birthday? That’s genuinely one of the absolute stupidest uses of an emoji I’ve ever seen on the forum

My mission in life is to become so successful that when I die Jimmy Carter comes to my funeral.

*cough* Pope Benedict XVI, *cough, cough* Barbara Walters...

List of US Cabinet members from the 20th century: Richard Nixon (1969–1974) Gerald Ford (1974–1977) Jimmy Carter (1977–1981) Ronald Reagan (1981–1989) George H.W. Bush (1989–1993) Bill Clinton (1993–2001)

Cameo seems an excellent place for formspotting. I don't completely know how to use it to search for people , but there's a suprisingly large amount of elderly celebrities and ones with a history of ill health there, here's a list with links to their pages: Barry Corbin (82, oral cancer, decrepit) Bruce Dern (87) George Hamilton (84, some history of ill health I recall) Tommy Chong (85) Jamie Farr (89) Paul Dooley (95) Brian Cox (77) Gianni Russo (79, godfather actor) Sportspeople/"sports"people too: Marv Levy (98) Ronnie Coleman (59, bodybuilder, tons of health issues) Richard Petty (86, stock car racing legend) Baron von Raschke (82, professional wrestler) Peter Shilton OBE (73) Sir Geoff Hurst (81) Harry Carson (69, American football player with a ton of health problems) Larry Bowa (77, old MLB guy) Many more there if you want to go check.

Jimmy Buffett dead.

Reminds me of this "poem":

Bullshit

A happy birthday to, well, me!

I knew Giles. We worked together for a year or so back in the 90s. A really lovely bloke. He was pretty well-known in his own right in musical circles. A couple of days before his death was announced his brother posted on Facebook that he'd gone missing. So there might be a moderately more dramatic story behind it than just "died after a short illness".

Streaming services:

Bill Richardson dead aged 75. Former Governor of New Mexico who also served as Secretary of Energy and UN ambassador under the Clinton administration. Unsuccessfully sought the Democratic presidential nomination in 2008.

You must really hate this Unknown fella

Reports that Marilyn Lovell has died: Might hasten a certain astronaut's demise, if true.

What sort of a sick cunt of a family member would look at that poor bastard in his bed and think "I've a great idea - let's take a photo of Steve and post it on facebook/instagram/whatever". If there is anyone close to him with an ounce of compassion for the man, they should get a gun and just do the right thing. Shoot her first, and then him.

Considering nothing changes, here is how the perfect deathlist 2024 would go according to me : 1. Jimmy Carter 2. Rosalynn Carter (just for the sake of having these two on top spots) 3. Shane McGowan 4. Joanne Woodward 5. James Whale 6. Jonnie Irwin 7. Linda Nolan 8. Frank Field 9. Henry Kissinger 10. Bernadette Chirac 11. Diane Feinstein 12. Sonny Rollins 13. Nigel Starmer Smith 14. Shannen Doherty 15. Bobby Charlton 16. Esther Rantzen 17. Jean Marie Le Pen 18. Sandra Day’O Connor 19. Mel Brooks 20. Dick Van Dyke 21. Emperor Akihito 22. Mitch McConnell 23. Jacques Delors 24. Norman Lear 25. Prunelle Scales 26. Louis Farrakhan 27. Imelda Marcos 28. David Attenborough 29. Bob Newhart 30. Raul Castro 31. Vera Miles 32. King Salman of Saudi Arabia 33. Kim Novak 34. Douglas Hurd 35. Franz Beckenbauer 36. Glynis Johns 37. Robert Solow 38. Eva Marie Saint 39. Buzz Aldrin 40. Giorgio Napolitano 41. Valentino 42. Rex Williams 43. Tippi Heren 44. Warren Buffett 45. James Earl Jones 46. Rupert Murdoch 47. Sophia Loren 48. Liza Minnelli 49. Pope Francis 50. Ozzy Osbourne The top 10/20 seems pretty strong ! I feel like I'm forgetting an obvious name in the top 10 though…
