Back when I was super interested in supercentenarians in late 2017 or so, I decided to pick 20 random 110-year-olds and check in on them periodically. They were: Miriam Moore - 28th Jan 1907 Ellen Goodwill - 2nd Feb 1907 Sumie Yabune - 5th Feb 1907 Rosalie Esposito - 11th Feb 1907 Kameo Oya - 12th Feb 1907 Thelma McLeod - 13th Feb 1907 Christine Hoscheid - 16th Feb 1907 Herbert Engle - 18th Feb 1907 Lillian Cox - 22nd Feb 1907 Masae Uchiyama - 27th Feb 1907 Maria Branyas Morera - 4th Mar 1907 Marguerite Bailly - 6th Mar 1907 Hide Morokuma - 10th Mar 1907 Sally Ellis - 14th Mar 1907 Rosena Hankerson - 16th Mar 1907 Anna Medwenitsch - 17th Mar 1907 Icie Clark - 19th Mar 1907 Tame Yamaguchi - 20th Mar 1907 Helen Turner - 1st Apr 1907 Merle Phillips - 2nd Apr 1907 Maria Branyas Morera (who survived Covid!!) is now the only one left.

Ellen Goodwill, believed to have been the oldest resident of Michigan, has died. She was 114. https://www.woodtv.com/news/kzoo-and-bc/battle-creek-woman-dies-a-month-after-114th-birthday/ https://gerontology.wikia.org/wiki/Ellen_Goodwill

Played Cotton in the first three POC films. Not a character immediately recognisable by name (particularly as the character was a mute!) but regularly featured amongst the ship's crew:

Wiki is stating that comedian Marty Brill died in January 21.

I'm not British but I do find it really funny this attachment British tabloids have to Prince Harry as if he's betraying the public and betraying them. You see it in the comments of these pages where it's as if these people are disappointed aunts and uncles. It's like they had more expectation for this kid in a palace that has no idea who any of them are than their own children.

I read there is a new TV series covering depictions of Eleanor Roosevelt, Betty Ford and Michelle Obama. Now I respect all three for being very influential and culturally significant but I think it is a shame that whenever these kind of programs are made Rosalynn Carter tends to be ignored. She was as influential as any of them when it came to the years spent in the White House. I doubt many young people know who she is.

It should offer a choice of tits or no tits.

Frank J. Kelley, who served as Michigan's Attorney General from 1961 to 1999, has died. He was 96. https://www.woodtv.com/news/michigan/frank-kelley-michigan-attorney-general-for-37-years-dies/

As mentioned in the SF thread, actor David Bailie has died aged 83

I agree with all of. The only point I make is that they may seem to know this is the last chance saloon to keep it that way. Bowie sold off his rights a couple of decades ago just to make the cash. Fair played. But not because he was going to peg it. This recent rush seems to be to get their affairs in order before the inevitable.

That is like asking if the Queen Mum had any gin left. Hope in hell.

Jean Boht from various shitcoms is 89 today.

Actually if the last week has shown up anything, it's that the SNP, far from being Fianna Fail, are a ragtag bunch of groups and cliques who hate each other and their non-indy related politics. Should they ever get independence they'd crumble afterwards, and we'd have some form of right wing, centrist and centre left choice like most of Europe.

John Le Carre's widow Valerie Eustace has died aged 82, just 2 months after Le Carre himself.

The first woman in space, Valentina Tereshkova is 84 today.

According to this video of the entire SN10 flight from takeoff to landing, it took a rocket 4 minutes to reach 10K. I once ran a 10K in 43 minutes. This would PROVE that Sir Charms runs nearly 1/10 the speed of a rocket! SC

2nd oldest man in the States, Philip Sharp, dead at 111.

The star is more populist than Labour - it might share an owner with the Mirror but it’s politics are not entirely the same.

The press are intent on vilifying Meghan because that’s what our vile press does. Harry and Meghan are intent on playing victims in some kind of publicity stealth boost. The Royals are intent on being as royally stiff as possible. All these feed off each other to create one over-publicised circle jerk that I and so many others couldn’t give a flying fuck about. I wish it’d all just
