Can he please just fucking die so people will stop getting horny for his 100th birthday?

Rishi Sunak is "not opposed to assisted dying". I like to think this was his answer to the question "So, Rishi, how do you think your election campaign is going?"

His poor assistant.

A major manifesto launch today: that of Count Binface.

Noted computer programmer Bruce Bastian, who co-founded the WordPerfect Software Company in 1978, died at 76 years: https://www.fox13now.com/news/local-news/bruce-bastian-co-founder-of-wordperfect-and-lgbtq-supporter-dies-at-age-76 He was also well-known for his philanthropy and gay rights activism.

No fan of Esther Rantzen then.

Yes, it's an incredibly divided couple of years, this. The likes of Carly, Miley, Lorde, Florence, Jessie, Coldplay and OneRepublic are proper points of contention. Quite honestly, of those seven, I only give a toss about one. 14 remain for the chop.

Former Italian chief of staff Claudio Graziano commits suicide at 70.

Sounds like Alan Hansen is recovering. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-13537869/Liverpool-legend-Alan-Hansen-way-recovery-seriously-ill-hospital-reveals-Graeme-Souness-details-heartening-phone-call-old-friend.html

Can he last 106 more days for the century mark?

Yes

Does this FB post suggest Ahmad Bishti died in 2016?

I had the honor of working for Loudon Wainwright III and Wesley Stace this evening. It was the final night of their mini tour together. Both are in fine form. Wesley opened the evening with a varied set delving into his vast repertoire. After the interval, Loudon regalled us was anecdotes and many a tune. They rounded off the evening by performing a duet.

And guess what my go-to radio station is..?

The one gigantic flaw of this season is that it suffers from how short it is. Every episode has been good as a standalone, but the overarching arc is too rushed and doesn't leave enough time to build up the tension and the mystery (RTD achieved this very well in his first run by dropping in hints throughout the series which became more and more numerous towards the finale episode). As entertaining as this episode was, it felt like it came too soon. There should have been a good 3-4 episodes in between 'Rogue' and 'The Legend of Ruby Sunday'.

Lock the thread. Lock the thread. Lock the thread. Lock the thread. Lock the thread. Lock the thread. PLEASE.

Anyone else think there is something deeply foreboding about this photograph taken by Catherine and released for Fathers Day. This is what I would expect them to release if things turned to the worst for her.

Ajit Singh Randhawa, who was the father of US presidential candidate Nikki Haley, has died. https://www.counton2.com/news/local-news/nikki-haley-mourns-the-loss-of-her-father-on-fathers-day/amp/

I've left it completely alone, it's not even interesting enough to downvote I like a fair amount of Coldplay but some of it, Paradise included, is very Radio 2.

James Kent, a celebrated New York chef, has died. Kent headed three restaurants, one of which was a two-star Michelin establishment. https://ny.eater.com/2024/6/15/24179353/james-kent-death-saga-overstory-crown-shy-chef

Surely would have been on social media first not some random on Wikipedia. Wrestling has enough media exposure that it would have been all over Twitter and various websites within minutes of him actually dying...
