3 pointsCasey Kasem died on this day 9 years ago, aged 82. - Kasem's first name was actually Kemal- his parents named him after Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, founder of the modern Turkish state. - Kasem's first radio job was covering sports at his local high school, and during his college years, had his first voice roles on radio shows such as Challenge of the Yukon. - Kasem would be drafted into the Korean War, and was a radio announcer for American troops. After the war's end, he moved to New York to pursue a stage acting career- he auditioned for the off-Broadway play Ivan Of, ultimately losing the role he auditioned for to Ed Asner. - Kasem first became a TV voice actor in the 1960s- his most famous role was as Shaggy from the Scooby-Doo franchise, a role he played from its inception in 1969 up to 2009- he took a break from voicing the character after being asked to voice the character for a Burger King commercial; he was a vegan. After his retirement, the role went to Matthew Lillard (who portrayed the character in the live-action films): Other voice acting roles Kasem was known for included Groove in The Cattanooga Cats, the titular role of Rankin/Bass' Here Comes Peter Cottontail, Robin in Super Friends, and Bluestreak and Cliffjumper in G1 Transformers. Kasem left Transformers during its third season due to a villain of the week showcasing Arab stereotypes; Kasem was of Lebanese descent. - Kasem was also famous for being the host of the American Top 40 radio program, hosting it from 1970 to 1988 and again from 1998 to 2004. - Kasem was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2007, and his family would argue whether to put him in a conservatorship. He would soon be diagnosed with Lewy body dementia, and eventually ended up bedridden- he died from sepsis that was caused by an ulcerated bedsore. - Kasem appeared on the DeathList once in 2014 at the number 41 spot. He was the third hit of the ten that year.

2 pointsCor. Some pretty damning stuff in this report. Laura Kuenssberg might describe it as “quite a charge”. Johnson’s political career is dead in a ditch, and his army of sycophants should fuck off forever too.

1 pointToo tired to attend the opening of an exhibition on his life in Antibes (south of France). His son went on his behalf. Might be worth to keep in mind.

1 pointAs it is a significant anniversary, I felt we should remember the 125th year since the death of Kalakaua the last King of Hawai'i aged 54. During his reign he reintroduced the hula and surfing for which we can all be eternally grateful.

1 pointReports that driver Alan Simonsen has died after a crash at the Le Mans 24 hour race. http://www.ouest-fra...tous_filDMA.Htm Hope you've got Chrome because you'll need its auto-translate tool. I got the news link from Wikipedia which is also reporting him as dead. All others I can see online are still just saying he had a big accident. If true, he's the first fatality at the event since Sebastien Enjolras died in pre-race practice in 1997.
