    Aide to the head of Ukraine’s armed forces Hennadiy Chastyakov, 39, killed by a grenade he was given for his birthday. Accidents happen. Getting into this thread is much harder to achieve though. Scrabble deficit is 40:39.

    Note, I am planning on to mostly retire from dead pooling at least for the time being (I’ll submit the gag Hartlepool team I usually do and my 60s counterculture theme team but those are the only things that I plan on entering). Which means I won’t be opening a thread for the advent Avalanche this year. Fortunately this is an extremely easy pool to run so I’m sure someone can open one up to continue the tradition

    Ady Barkan is a hit for me in the Time category - I believe that is my fourth hit in four different categories, meaning I just need a Corrie actor (Thelma Barlow, Philip Lowrie, Anne Cunningham, Kenneth Farrington or William Russell) to win.

    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.

    Yes, she's taking her time. But breast cancer isn't all that fatal and pretty slow. In my mind, I give these cases a life expectancy of roughly 10 years. She got it in 2015.

    This is kind of like trying to get a large, diverse group to agree on the best flavor of ice cream. Ain't gonna happen, so save your breath and just enjoy what you're given.
