The CO2 emissions he has single-handedly contributed by swanning around the world is totally justified by the amount of people he's inspired into climate protection, conservation and the like... his lifetime worth of emissions is just a drop in the ocean of what's pumped in our atmosphere in a single day. Nobody has ever done anything close what he's done in inspiring multiple generations and nobody will for a very long time. This dude could rip off a newborn's head and shit down it's neck and it'll be ok with me. He's the MVP.

Ah, I see someone is happy about my push last year to return the Herald as a QO. Am afraid to say my current attempts to get Mumsnet accepted as a DDP Qualifying Obit are being treated with far more scepticism by Reptile and Grim!

Felicity Kendal, still living a good life, is 74 today.

American artist Eric Bransby (wiki), described by the NPR as "one of the last living links to the great age of American mural painting", dead a month shy of his 104th birthday.

A 6 inch drop would do IF you could get him that high!

Nothing on him, apart from people calling him Jihadi the Hutt on Twitter

Max Merritt, a New Zealand singer-songwriter best known for the song "Slippin' Away", died aged 79 from Goodpasture Syndrome.

Oh I find this place an interesting diversion, always have. I stand by my belief that there's a certain reality to the views around here that is skirted elsewhere in that there's little to no fudging around the issue that life is finite for all of us. I also stand by my belief that there's an interest in the loss to all of us every time somebody with talent leaves us (guilty of the skirting right there) dies, the world is a lesser place for it. It is also of course a lesser place when some talentless but well meaning prick such as myself goes no doubt - but that's not noteworthy and with the best will in the world what are you going to say about it that is in any way interesting to anyone else? Which I guess, is my problem with the kids (or fathers to be bang up to date) of the famous, they are just as worthwhile, but they aren't noteworthy and you can't make them interesting because they did nothing that was (yet).

It's an internet forum, I've been locked in my fucking house for the better part of six months (a few daredevil escapades aside) so no, I don't really have anything better to do. And no, I'm not that serious, but text is a dreadful way to communicate nuance. EP

I blank threads all of the time!I scroll past many without it getting under my skin! If something doesn't interest me I don't click on it so it is possible You posted a light hearted but definitely pointed and aimed ribbing post at me ,I replied with a brief light hearted comment that I think you took way too seriously. I am certainly not trying to stop you posting on this thread but I am just baffled why you torment yourself by venturing onto this thread since the general subject matter irks you so. There will be some good meditation or psychological techniques and tips online somewhere that tells you how to ignore what you don't like and just chilling and enjoying things more. The key isn't for me to stop posting on this thread but for you to learn how to ignore it and me if you wish! I find the subjects of birth and death both interesting and engaging particularly celebrity ones as they serve as a good frame of reference. But the vast majority of my posts are about death or deadpooling. In terms of the forum this thread is just an enjoyable side salad or side hustle! I don't think anything fruitful will be achieved by continuing to argue over what is essentially a question of different preferences. I mean I certainly don't hijack threads about death etc with baby news. Anyway best wishes and take care no ill will felt or meant from my side. I think we just baffle each other on this minor issue and thats just the way it is. Gooseberry

Here's the full list. Accurate as of December 29, 2024

Except that, this thread is just you really. Nobody else is posting this crap. Ok and Hello, even the Daily Fail have their place, I'd simply argue that this isn't it. I was drawn to this site because regardless of the actual deadpools it is (or was) the antithesis of that. I don't care what 'your' reaction is tbh. Take a vote on who cares, I'll gladly back down if you win. It's not personal. But even in the extra curricular forum this is way off the point of this place.

Why? Your predictions are (even you admit) terrible.

Don't worry. He will have no choice.I am certain he will be defeated in a landslide .Democracy will prevail,trust me!

Coliesa McMillian, star of my 600-lb Life, has died. She was 41. The cause of death was complications from weight loss surgeries. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-8768973/My-600-lb-Life-star-Coliesa-McMillian-died-age-41-complications-weight-loss-surgery.html

Unwilling to commit to smooth transfer of power if he loses in November I get all the tough talk but when people like him fall...they absolutely crash and burn. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/election-us-2020-54274115

Now now, don't begrudge Toast some remarkable good fortune if true!

Time to add to your longlist: morbidly obese ISIS religious adviser Shifa al-Nima, who weighs 560lbs, has been captured in Mosul by US forces. They had to take him away on a flatbed truck as he wouldn't fit into any of their standard vehicles.
