Former Labour Party MP Ann Clwyd dead at 86: https://nation.cymru/news/former-labour-mp-ann-clwyd-dies-at-86/ Wales' longest-serving female MP and a human rights campaigner.

He was my favorite of the old school American crooners, and I'd like to echo some of the comments above. This is a profound loss, as he was an extremely talented man and a good man, too. Rest well, Mr. Benedetto.

Haven’t done a Cheney one yet, but…

Sad. I don't think people realize what a good guy Tony Bennett was. I'll be listening to his music this weekend and I feel a bit more sad than expected. RIP

Good call. Something to remember is not everyone makes it to 100, after all.

Wrong thread, but, yes: https://nation.cymru/news/former-labour-mp-ann-clwyd-dies-at-86/ Edit: Ann Clwyd dead at 86.

Sheikh Isa Qassim hospitalised with heart problems and underwent/to undergo heart surgery. He's bounced back atleast two times from "critical conditions", suffers from diabetes and heart disease and has already undergone multiple heart surgeries in the past, most recently in 2019. And he's quite young for an Ayatollah.

Norman Jewison is 97 today.
