Hollywood Reporter obit. Born in 1925, and she was 97 at the time of her death. Interestingly had a Tony Award nomination. Would've been on our radar for years had she not been presumed born in 1934.

Abdul Taib Mahmud back in Malaysia following a 3-month hospitalisation in Turkey for treatment of a serious bowel obstruction (and possibly cancer). On the others, Musa Hitam had a brain surgery in April. Michael Chen made an appearance in January and looked like a corpse. Also, Badawi's dementia has worsened a lot during the last year and he's slowly starting to look like those very old Japanese women. A very frail list. Edit: Sirajuddin of Perlis (not on the list) has also had a multiple-month hospitalisation recently.

Belgian Odilon Polleunis, who played 2 games at the 1970 WC, has died aged 80.

Though filing paperwork to run for re-election doesn't necessarily mean he really will run for re-election. Members of Congress often do this as a formality to keep fundraising for their party, so if they do end up retiring, the money can be transferred. Dianne Feinstein also filed paperwork for re-election before her retirement was announced, and her staff absolutely scrambled to clarify to the press that this didn't actually mean she was running again, since this was around the time that the public reporting about her decline was really starting to pick up.

King Edward II of England died on this day 696 years ago, aged 43. - Edward was born at Caernarfon Castle in Wales, less than a year after his father Edward I conquered it. The senior Edward and his wife Eleanor likely went there to impose English power over the Welsh. - Initially second in line to the throne upon birth, Edward became the heir to the throne when his 10-year old brother Alphonso died when he was four months old. Edward would act as regent to his father in 1297 when he fought against king Philip IV of France. - Edward's reign, which began in 1307, is known for the Scottish War of Independence (which lasted his entire reign), the Ordinances of 1311 (in which parliament limited royal power), a famine which lasted from 1315 to 1317, a civil war which broke out in 1321, and the War of Saint-Sardos against France, beginning in 1324. - Edward was known for his relationship with Piers Gaveston, whom he effectively left as regent in 1308 when he went to France to marry. Edward's detractors often claimed that the two were gay for each other, but considering both had regular sexual relationships with their wives, it was more likely just a bromance. - Edward married 12-year old Isabella of France (when he was 24... yikes), and during the War of Saint-Sardos, her lands back home were seized by the English. This enraged her, and she cheated on him with Roger Mortimer, who invaded England in 1326. Edward was captured by Mortimer's troops, and was forced to abdicate in January of 1327 in favor of his son Edward III. Edward died in captivity- a rumor persists he was murdered via someone putting a burning fire iron up his butt, but historians usually dismiss this as propaganda invented by Mortimer's supporters.

Loren's accident was 4 years ago this week. Still alive (how???) and has 593k subscribers. He constantly has infections due to having a head, an arm and half a torso, but is able to do normal things like get tattoos and attend conventions.

I couldn't resist trying Black Forest Gateau Vanilla vodka, Chambord raspberry liqueur, crème de cacao, kirsch, crème de cassis, cream Some substitutions were made. I don't have vanilla vodka, so I used plain vodka and some Monin vanilla syrup. No Kirsch, so subbed in cherry brandy. No cassis, so subbed in crème de mure which I prefer. I do have Chambord, but I completely forgot to put it in. It was still bloody delicious.

The temptation to swear in Italian is very high. That's fucking local newspaper "La voce del Trentino". Napolitano's death will be announced by the presidency, ANSA, Repubblica and Corriere, not a fucking local newspaper. Porco..

Apparently pictured walking without a wheelchair. Edit: There are videos of it on youtube. He seems a bit weak/slow, but otherwise fine for 85 and I doubt he's on oxygen there.

Looks fine to me. Maybe that's because he's sitting down though.

Kitty Wells was buried beneath the willows on this day 5 years ago, aged 92.

No, he's already dead. We've basically discussed every other Nazi on the other thread that I've forgotten the name of. So just post there.
