Not only for you

Willz, Miracle Aligner did the very same list as you did about a month ago. In fact, MA went a little bit further, doing anybody over the age of 70. I can only presume you've blocked MA's posts and hate to think you spent hours on something already just a few posts up.

Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput has died at his own hands. He was 34. https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/bollywood-actor-sushant-singh-rajput-found-hanging-at-his-mumbai-home-cops-2246089

Surely we need to acknowledge that pretty much everybody was racist back in the day. People didn't know any better. It's futile judging historic people by today's standards. And prejudice of various kinds exists in all social groups.

If people are outraged to hear what protestors did to a Christopher Columbus statue,they should read about what Columbus did to actual human beings.

Ladies and Gents, we have a winner for 'The most moronic post of the week' award.

Vicki Wood, one of the first female NASCAR drivers, has died. She was 101. Wood set speed records for women at Daytona International Speedway and Atlanta National Speedway. She competed with men, but retired in 1963 when drivers threatened to strike if she was allowed to continue competing. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/12/sports/autoracing/vicki-wood-dead.html (Behind paywall) https://www.legacy.com/news/celebrity-deaths/vicki-wood-1919-2020-record-setting-woman-nascar-driver/

Drake did all of his work on the orders of Elizabeth I, and I am yet to see suggestions we change anything named after her. Or Victoria. Curious to see their list includes Sir Robert Peel, possibly because they are mistaking him for another member of his own family, but also maybe because of his anti-Catholic views. Despite those views, he wrote the bill on emancipation in the 1820s and sacrificed his own top level career to end the Corn Laws. So are we going to hate on a chap in 2020 for his personal views when he was still directly responsible for the two of the biggest moves in favour of poor Irish and British Catholics in his life? (Lets not forget the man also banned sending kids down mines, and 99% of the capital offences from the times when you could be hung for stealing an apple...) Gladstone also based on his family and the reason he was put in parliament in the first place as a 20 year old was to oppose abolition - but we don't remember him solely for that, do we? We remember him because he grow out of those views, denounced them, and went onto champion the rights of the individual throughout the world. Both were heavy on basic civil rights long before that became a big thing. I do have sympathy for the BLM cause, and get the starting point for some of these discussions (as I said before, any statue put up to a known racist in the 1990s in a public place is just shit stirring) but if everyone is getting judged to the standards of the two men above in 2020 as a basic example, none of us are escaping spotless. There's a strong degree of baby with the bathwater here, led on by the Scrappy Doos in society who probably couldn't name you a single African American civil rights leader. So either we bulldoze all of the UK, or we face up to history and context. But then I am opposed to facelift proposals that do nothing to make things better bar make a few guilty middle class consciences feel better.

It's set in 1861.What do these woke retards expect ? An ensemble of non binary black blind lesbians in wheelchairs singing about the abolition of the police?

So, the daily death toll is clearly the point here but I think it might be in order to share a few other Covid era novelties. I can't be the only one locked down/working from home and encountering oddities of daily life that were avoided until now. For example, our two household toilets have been taking a tonnage of solid waste previously undreamt of, with an attendant irritation of both toilet brushes being constantly caked with the odd flake despite determined efforts to eradicate the embarrassment. However, I had a mad idea once we cleared the worst of the weeds from the garden pond and clocked the current tonnage of tadpoles in there. Left a bog brush in overnight and it's picked to perfection with the taddies apparently no worse for wear this morning. Just thought I'd - like - share that with the group

Denny O'Neil comics writer and editor has died at 81 https://www.gamesradar.com/legendary-batman-writer-denny-oneil-dies-at-age-81/ I don't know where could be

“And put it on a tray, bake at 4,000rpm for 20 minutes...”

Kate and Gerry were out by the pool having dinner when it happened.

Could I ask, if you know and allow someone who is a banned poster using an alias to post, what is the fucking point of banning them in the first place? I couldn’t give a rat’s cock who posts, but banning them just seems a pointless waste of your time if it’s not enforced, no?

Completely ridiculous decision by HBO. What a deranged year 2020 is turning out to be..

Fucksake who were you before, I can never find that bit

A Classic, ridiculous decision, this is part of history

Johann Strauss Jr (or II, or the younger, if you prefer) waltzed away 121 years ago today. He was 73. He was the Strauss who wrote those tunes you know (apart from the Radetzky March, that was his dad). As he was known as 'The Waltz King', here's The Tritsch-Tratsch Polka.
