The deaths of Dianne Feinstein (1933–2023) and Jean Carnahan (1933–2024) mean that Nancy Kassebaum (wiki, born 1932) is once again the only former female Senator aged 90+ No former female Senators are due to turn 90 now until July 1936 when Barbara Mikulski and Elizabeth Dole will reach that milestone.

Iraqi Governor of Kuwait, Ba'ath party branch command chairman and King of Diamonds in the Iraqi most wanted playing cards Aziz Saleh Al-Numan is widely reported to have died in a prison in Baghdad yesterday at 82. I wonder how many there are still behind bars. Alaa Hussein Ali, Saddam's puppet leader of Kuwait is also still alive but is said to be in frail/ill health.

He looked well enough in this interview with the BBC back in November.

Aye he fell down a staircase in front of aforementioned widow after enjoying a boozy meal. I've seen the stairs (not in person) and it was quite a nasty fall. This happened less than a week before Michael Craze died, falling down some stairs while going out for a walk on rehab from heart surgery. He suffered a head injury and his heart was too weak to operate. To lose one British star prematurely to dodgy stairs in a week is a misfortune. Two looks like a habit. It meant neither was around a few weeks later for National Rod Hull Fell off his Roof Day.

Marie Mansfield dead at 92

Jean Carnahan counts now. She dead. Picked in pools and on @Zsa Zsa's leg shadow list. Only news link is barred in Europe so far and I have come out of Xmusk for links. Dang this phone nonsense.

I Motion that there be no posting in this thread, unless there’s some kind of new information

Not always. Like most victims, Ivana knew her killer...

Crem, this isn’t the case, as I suspect you well know. Shut the fuck up.

Top of Roy’s peak. Tough walk. Think we both overestimated our fitness a tad. God it was worth it, though.

Jean Carnahan Obituary.

Source? Given they very publicly just did the exact opposite.

I've just taken a look at Fred Lorenzen's Facebook profile (run by his daughter) and for an 89 year old man diagnosed with dementia around 12ish years ago (with rumored symptoms since the mid 1990s mind you), wheelchair bound and in an assisted living facility for at least 10, he's held up quite well. However in his latest pics in December on his 89th birthday he has an IV tube attached to his wrist and he's looking really frail now. If he lives to his 90th birthday, he's immortal material.

Damn you, I jumped when I saw her name and a link!

I already found that source last year, @whoismakoto !

Elijah Blue Allman clearly isn't in the best place and his mum's just been refused temporary conservatorship to help him. Obitable, likely, in his own right but having Cher as yer mum makes it a shoo-in: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-68138790

George Washington was apparently offered the title of 'king' at one point, so it's not like it's not been thought about before. They were saying on QI the other night that 'president' was only a cricketing term before it started to be used for US presidents and Washington settled on that title because he was a cricket fan. Of course, it would be golfing language if they were allowed to choose again today.

Danny Bloor out at Welling. I had him in the last round (when he got sacked by Eastbourne) but no one had him this time round.

Well, well, well. Looks like Olympedia fucked up on this one. They had long maintained that Nancy Mackay (wiki), British-born Canadian bronze medalist sprinter at the 1948 Olympics, died in 2016. Not the case. She was still alive and died on January 4, 2024, aged 101. Obit here. Even the stronger sources get it wrong sometimes I suppose.

Justyn Vicky, an Indonesian bodybuilder and fitness influencer, has died. He was 33. Vicky died in a freak accident when a 210kg weight fell on his neck at the gym. https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/videos/viral-videos/shocking-video-bodybuilder-justyn-vicky-breaks-his-neck-while-trying-to-lift-210-kg-weight-dies/videoshow/102055172.cms

The Cardinals lost more than a game to the Padres tonight. They lost their legendary pitcher Bob Gibson as well. Hit #17 for me. RIP.
