2 pointsEdit: @MariNisialooks the list is correct now, to include the @CaptainChorizo ‘s choices and your own choices — plus corrections/updates of the previous errors you found. Should be ok now hopefully. Cross posting happens a lot. No worries. Thanks for keeping a good eye out here for all the errors!

2 pointsEmperor Titus died on this day 1942 years ago, aged 41. - The son of Emperor Vespasian, Titus would serve as a military commander in the First Jewish-Roman War. When his father became emperor in 69, Titus was put in charge of the Roman army, and would capture Jerusalem the following year- notably destroying the Second Temple in the process. - Titus would become emperor in 79. Mere months into his reign, Mount Vesuvius would erupt and bury Pompeii and Herculaneum; he would organize and fund the relief effort for the citizens of the destroyed cities. A fire would also break out in Rome in 80, which destroyed the third incarnation of the Temple of Jupiter Capitolinus. - Also in 80, the Colosseum would finish construction- it still stands mostly intact to this day, attracting millions of visitors to Rome every year: Titus would order the construction of a new public bathhouse to open alongside the stadium. The dedication of these two buildings are Titus' final recorded act as emperor. - Titus reportedly died of a fever, although there are some other theories. One suggests his brother poisoned him by putting a sea slug in his meal, while rabbinic sources claim that a fly flew up his nose and picked at his brain for several years (definitely false considering the lifespan of insects). - Titus would be succeeded as emperor by his brother Domitian, who deified him as his first imperial act.

2 pointsSure, I'm bored, why not. 1. Why would Biden "travel[ing] around the United States to campaign and attend[ing] multiple events a day" have such a dramatic effect on his health that he'd actually croak? Just glancing at his schedule this month, he's already made about ~12 flights, and obviously he still attends events. This seems like something that'd be quite unlikely to take him out. 2. Why would Biden be "forced" to travel? I imagine with his age/senility, his handlers have a tight leash on him. If, in the event that somehow this stuff puts him on death's door, they would likely come up with an excuse to make his rallies "virtual"/just trot someone like Jill out. 3. We all know Biden is, to put it politely, not especially sharp, but it's more than possible to be mentally fried and still live for years. In Biden's case, he doesn't seem very physically fragile; there are several octogenarians who would have been crippled by the tumbles he's taken over the years, and his parents were both long-lived. 4. Why should the list gamble on someone who is not outwardly dying and likely being constantly watched by a medical staff when theoretically everyone on the list should be very likely to die? Yes, they do wishful thinking picks occasionally (why else would Cheney have been on 5 times by now) but those are middling selections and shouldn't be imitated. I'd also at the moment be against adding McConnell, even though he's clearly declining, because he's still in the "ailing-but-potentially-not-imminent" phase.

1 pointI know some of you won't be glad to see another thread created but I won't stop advocating for her inclusion in next year list. One of the most influential french political figure of the XXth and 00's still alive. In failing health for a decade now, too frail to attend her husband funeral in 2019. Last public appearance was in 2019 when she pronounced a speech for the inauguration of a "Jacques and Bernadette Chirac street" in Brive-la-gaillarde : wheelchairbound, can't even take the veil of the street sign down by herself, has difficulties talking etc (here, around 14min) The only news that we have of her are from her family telling us that she's "on the margins of society" and "very weak". Surely qualifies in term of notoriety and age. The fact she's still alive is a miracle. Her in 2017. Already looked really frail

1 pointI mean, after this many years watching the DL I can't rule out Grim Reaper having a drink in late December, putting on Sky Arts, seeing that recent Alain Delon documentary and bunging him on DL2024. In fact that feels more realistic than Bernadette.

1 point@Sean So sorry, I was trying to answer your post but I accidentally deleted it. Elizabeth mentioned Lewis in passing about a year ago, so I think he was still living (silently) in an annexe to Ambridge Hall.
