Let's not forget that Trump was impeached (the first time) because he withheld Ukraine aid for Hunter Biden or something. It's all connected. Putin has always wanted the whole of Ukraine - he just didn't know if he could get it - and used Trump to destabilize the country. I think Putin was the "Trump whisperer" for a while. He made Trump believe that their interests aligned (which they did, because Trump doesn't know national interest, only personal interest). Trump's election loss might have been a trigger for Putin to conclude that he did all the damage to Ukraine he could do, and put the plans into motion. So yeah, Joe Biden might be a reason, but in a different way.

Christian Today won't help my DDP aspirations but it'll suffice here. DigitalNun Sister Catherine Wybourne, who stood firm against Vatican suggestions that nuns shouldn't use social media, has been hit with the biggest banhammer of all.

Death report for French actress Dominique Marcas (wiki), aged 101. Died on 15th Feb. All over social media but no French media picked it up. A pick on the Centenarians Deadpool, @chilean way.

This one could've also gone in the counterculture thread... Times obit for Anthony Stern (wiki), British experimental filmmaker who was a part of Pink Floyd's inner circle. Obit gives his age as 77, death date as February 10th, and simply gives the cause as "after a long illness"

Australian athlete John Landy was last picked in 2016, so List of the Missed @Death Impends http://www.derbydeadpool.co.uk/deadpool2016/celebs_L.html#landj0 Edit: https://www.theage.com.au/sport/iconic-australian-athlete-john-landy-passes-away-20220225-p59zvb.html

When you think about it, the UK and the US had Humpty Numpty and a big orange turd off of The Apprentice leading them through a ghastly pandemic so Ukraine are comparably in safe hands

Tinfoil Hat Alert!

Nah he won't flee I doubt.I get the sense he will go on until he is arrested killed or both.

From the Hooroo Mate thread above, John Landy, Australian athlete, the second to run a sub-4 minute mile and ran The Miracle Mile against Bannister at the Empire Games, reportedly dead aged 91. Herald Sun is paywalled unfortunately. Olympian in 1952 and 1956, at the latter winning a bronze in the 1500m. Edit: https://www.theage.com.au/sport/iconic-australian-athlete-john-landy-passes-away-20220225-p59zvb.html As an aside, many of the other names in the above Aussie list are dead, so who survives?

Yes, chronologically the next one after Boucher is Meglos scribe Andrew Smith but there are older writers of course.

Very sad, a really nice person it seemed. She almost died a couple of times lately, as she was on oxygen full time (in a different way from everyone else). Still, I hope it's not going to be the third non-obit that Spade and I share. Spade would go to the DDP top if a QO arrives. Wybourne was in her 60s.

Henry Lincoln (Soskin) has died. Doctor Who writer in the 1960s - The Abominable Snowmen, Web of Fear and The Dominators He was the last surviving writer from the 60s eras of Doctor Who https://guide.doctorwhonews.net/person.php?name=HenryLincoln

This seems likely to be the first February without a DL hit since 2012, mind you.

I'm not sure if they've murdered their own people but I'm sure that USA, Canada, Australia, France, Italy, Germany, United Kingdom and many other countries from so called Western civilization have and they are currently doing it through lockdowns, forced vaccinations, medical murders and planned economic crisis. So I would say Assad, Gaddafi etc. did murder their own people but they also did good things in general unlike today's democratically elected leaders who are slaves to bank elites and Big Pharma mafia.

If only.

Is Jason Lee going to wait until the day she actually dies months or years from now and go "See? We were right!"?

And as for next round: so the 0-0 ties will be decided by a variant of coin-toss. If required, I can draw these coin tosses now so currently tied teams can know if they should think about submitting a team. If any team in the next round doesn't submit a team then the best-scoring team from this round will have a slot, but it's unlikely at this stage we'll have any non-entrants. It may be worth our best-scoring loser (An Fear Baeg, by some distance) throwing together a "Frank Field, George Perez and nine others" side quickly just in case, but I wouldn't spend hours on it if I was him.
