Kabosu (2005-2024) Age at death: 18 Known health issues: CKD, leukemia, bronchitis, canine dementia, blind, not able to move. Cause of death: choked by dogecoins. Alignment: Absolute Internet legend, who acquired popularity in 2010 and remained steadily popular until his death, even being the icon of Twitter for a day. First mentioned on DL in 2020, he was one of the top immortals, rivaling the likes of Shi Ping and the King Jimmy Carter. Of course you can never survive Jimmy Carter, but you surely did a good barking job.

And a second one for the price of one

That's not all I'd like to see happen to him.

Ftr EVEL was abolished in 2021 because Boris Johnson needed a quick fix. Of course.

Normally I would agree with you about your reason for not voting. But this Tory government has been so exceptionally corrupt, selfish, incompetent, greedy and downright wicked that everyone should do whatever they can to ensure they are annihilated.

I don't think that's true anymore. English Votes for English Laws was scrapped in 2021 on the grounds that it 'undermined the union'. Besides, since the majority of Scottish MPs were the SNP by that point (so there were no or very few Scottish MPs actually in government), it was irrelevant by that point anyway.

Cassetteboy's back:

Will the next poster change the score for: Olly Murs — Dance With Me Tonight to 25? The -1 was not substracted by @ThereWillBeDeaths7 thank you!

I cling to the faint hope that a good chunk of what Starmer says is mostly to avoid repeating Corbyn's mistake of scaring off Middle England and playing the politics game (keep expectations low and you may surprise people once you're in power), but even a party that does nothing is sort of an improvement over a party which has been actively harmful.

I'd say to anyone of the "not voting, they're all cunts" disposition: Not voting is a vote for things to stay the same. At least voting for any opposition to the governing party is a roll of the dice.

Tina Turner died on this day a year ago, aged 83. - Turner's birth name was Anna Bullock. She took her stage name after meeting her future husband Ike Turner, who gave her the first name because it rhymed with the character of the comic book character Sheena, Queen of the Jungle, which Ike tried to evoke within Tina. Ike would copyright her name if he were to need another 'Tina Turner' in the Ike & Tina Turner group. - With Ike, Tina reached mainstream success with their songs such as "River Deep, Mountain High" and their cover of Creedence Clearwater Revival's "Proud Mary": This would earn the two a Grammy for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group in 1972. - After divorcing Ike in 1978, Tina went solo and saw even bigger success. Her 1984 song "What's Love Got to Do With It" reached the top of the Billboard Hot 100 in 1984, and her 1989 cover of Bonnie Tyler's "The Best" is considered her signature song: - Outside of her most famous role as Auntie Entity in Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, Turner was known for her roles in The Who's Tommy as the Acid Queen, a cameo at the end of the 1978 film Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, and one episode of Ally McBeal in 2000. - Turner had a multitude of health problems throughout her later years, which included a stroke, kidney failure, and intestinal cancer. She would appear on the DeathList twice (2019 and 2023), and was the 7th of the 19 deaths on the 2023 list.

I would politely request you do not because I think we are getting down to some really tough choices to decide who goes through. Difficult to call.
