That flavour of ice cream should now be retired out of respect.

Urbain Le Verrier died on this day 146 years ago, aged 66. - Le Verrier was initially interested in chemistry before becoming an astronomer, and would be the director of the Paris Observatory from 1854 to 1870, and from 1873 to his death in 1877. - Le Verrier would study the orbits of comets, and was able to prove that some of their orbits were slightly altered after getting too close to Jupiter's gravitational field. - Le Verrier's most famous discovery was being one of the co-discoverers of Neptune, and he was able to pinpoint its location by using mathematics to explain perturbations in Uranus' orbit. Neptune was found within one astronomical degree of Le Verrier's predicted location. - Le Verrier would attempt to use the same mathematic formula to find a planet closer to the Sun than Mercury- it is now known that there are no planets closer, and Mercury's orbital aberrations were proven through the theory of general relativity. - Le Verrier's tombstone features a large sphere featuring the Zodiac atop it:

Sir Richard Houldsworth, 5th Baronet of the Houldsworth baronets death notice: https://announcements.telegraph.co.uk/marketplace/advert/houldsworth-notices_53610 Heir apparent is Simon Houldsworth (b. 1971).

Longtime Italian politician Giorgio Napolitano is the next hit here. He practically did everything in Italian politics: Deputy, President of the Chamber of Deputies, MEP, Minister of the Interior, Senator for Life, and President. His death completes the trifecta of Italian electoral deadpool picks, following the deaths of Berlusconi & Forlani. He is by far the most popular hit in the pool, giving points to 12 users. @theoldlady, @chilean way, @tracy, @P94, @Thatcher, and @Hell all get their first points of the game, leaving 2 users still at 0 points. @diego is now in second place, while @MariNisia and @The Old Crem share the number 3 spot. @DeathBecomesThem is still at the top, but only 1 point separates first from second place.

I am shocked that a list of people with old age and/or health issues had a death. You must be a psychic friend!

https://www.cartercenter.org/news/pr/2023/jimmy-carter-99.html If they're announcing events for his birthday on Oct. 1, his situation probably isn't as dire as his grandson has made it out to be. I say he'll go between mid October and the end of December.

I am sure he is not in a building other then his home. Hospice care is not just hospitalizatioin. Hospice care are nurses coming to your home to keep tabs on you and make sure your meds are right and to make sure you are comfortable. A lot of time, Hospice Care is for the Family. As in my case with my sister, I was awaiting the Hospice crew every day so I knew that I was doing the job correctly. I am sure no one is waiting for a bed.

He'd be a better running mate than Harris even in his current state.

there's still time for that...

Sir John Ure, British diplomat who was at various times British Ambassador to Cuba, Brazil and Sweden, and also an author, death notice: https://announcements.telegraph.co.uk/marketplace/advert/ure-notices_53580

Thomas Pynchon will be 87 next year.

She also managed to do some audio work. Doesn't strike me as in any immediate danger at all.

If you're going to link to the heavily paywalled NYT, then at least give us your login so we can actually read it.

Yes there are plenty of individuals/world leaders who've done very bad things, but Murdoch has controlled media that ensured those individuals gained/held power in the first place, some of the bad things they did were also done because Murdoch made them conditional for his support, and also demonised anyone who tried to reveal the truth about them.

To everyone, each people who die in France, the death are reported on the official website Matchid which report all deaths on french territory each year, and these website is very accurate. With these website, we the French, can complete the Wikipedia pages of each personality more precisely (with birthdate, deathdate, age of death, birthplace and death place). If one personality is not reported on Matchid, there are big chances that she didn’t die in France. Several foreign personalities who died in France last year such as Vangelis, Louise Fletcher, Peter Brook are reported on Matchid. These year, Milan Kundera or Jane Birkin are reported on Matchid. I don’t know if there are websites like Matchid in countries like the US or the UK or Italy or Germany. But these website helps a lot. It’s the French national census for deaths.

James L. Buckley is a hit for me.

Tina Turner, a hit for the Deathlist and a huge one here as well.
