Updated for the deaths of May Willis (20th of June), Margaret Reed (8th of July), Dexter Kruger (20th of July) and Melville Williams (21st of July). Nine subjects of Edward VII remain, all except one born in 1909.

Led Zeppelin never released an official single in the group's lifetime, and never appeared on British TV. I think it was Peter Grant's idea that the only way to experience them was by going to see them live or buying their albums.

Reports that Steven Weinberg, Physics Laureate in 1979, has died:

Obama should come close. Carter was 56 when he left the White House. Obama was 55. Obama keeps fit and active and he quit smoking early in his presidency. By the time he reaches Biden's age now Obama would be 23 years an ex-president. I find that a bit surreal. I am beginning to think the 2008 ticket which produced two presidents should have been reversed. Biden going first when politics was more moderate and institutional and Obama as president now. Obama had far more talent which looking back I think was wasted in a time period where members of his own party didn't share the same height of ambition that he had. Whereas Biden who historically was a moderate himself is now pushing through very ambitious programs because the party is in sync.

American golfer Tony Lema died on this day 55 years ago, aged 32.

-1 for tautology.

It would seem that Long Covid and its lingering effects could have devastating consequences on the health service and the economy. We have seen the rise of diagnosed diabetes in the general population over the past decades, long covid could bring similar levels of long term costs and stretch the resources of the NHS. I think that the current people who are not taking up the vaccine are risking potential long term illness, statistically they may not die but they can still suffer if they are unfortunate to succumb to the virus.

Some photos of Ruthie Tompson celebrating her 111th:

Al Hendrix has passed away at the age of 86.

Dilip Kumar looked like he's at death's door for over 10 years. Bob Dole has looked like he's at death's door for atleast 7 years. And don't get me started on Bouteflika. Carter looks like the usual 96-year old. He doesn't currently have any major health troubles that we know of unlike Dole and there are atleast ten people on the list who look much more horrible than him. It's true that he could die this month but I wouldn't be suprised if he lived another year, two or even three, his health hasn't deteriorated much during the last year.

Just because it says Exit.....

American actress Jean Muir died on this day 25 years ago, aged 85.

This is really a sad one... He was a gentleman and very funny, an intellectual with knowledge and interest in pop culture. And he discovered Kate Bush for the German music market. A cook and a gay icon. We really owe him a lot. R.I.P. Bio. https://twitter.com/ARD_Presse/status/1418486403567083527?s=20

Sad news. I always enjoyed Alfredissimo.

And also a producer for several tv formats. A formating figure of German television.

Clarence Williams III of the Mod Squad dead at 81: https://deadline.com/2021/06/clarence-williams-iii-dead-linc-the-mod-squad-obituary-81-1234770213/ Which leaves Michael Cole as the last survivor.

A fair pick for the list when she turns 90, I'd say.

The actual pronoun for non-gendered things is "it." Funny how none of them use that.

Yes, actually ignorance is often mistaken for a virtue nowadays.
