Ellis Brandon (101) dead. The article says 'oldest living Engelandvaarder' which suggests there must be others still alive. But not clear who they might be.

Sheila Jackson Lee dead at 74.

I'm sick of this. Source? SOURCE? Didn't think so, you thick cunt. Get this into the noggin: you can't judge public opinion if you don't go out into the world. The Daily Mail and your crank family are the only places you get ideas from, so fuck off to Facebook because that tripe isn't wanted here.

American actor Whitney Rydbeck (Wiki) dead at 79 He appeared in tv shows like Star Trek: The Next Geneartion, Simon & Simon, Highway to Heaven, Cagney & Lacey, Murder She Wrote, Sisters and M*A*S*H.

The worst kind of politician. Ran for mayor of Houston but didn’t get through the primary so she kept running for congress. Diagnosed and refused to resign because she’s going to beat it. That worked out.

Rex Williams is 91. He was on the 1990 DeathList (spot #24)- no idea why.

Lovely tribute from friend and neighbour Jane Fonda.

"Yeah, I know they've been having problems for ages..... since January I think.... something like the longest streak of the 21st century? I mean they should have picked.... right, yeah.... oh really they've broken it? Finally, Jimmy Carter has d.... wait what?"

The Dictionary Deadpool Returns Welcome back to the Dictionary Deadpool (The Squeakquel), a few things have been tweaked since last time so make sure to read the rules. Each participant must pick a 10 letter word reasonably valid in the Oxford English Dictionary and then for each letter of the word choose a ‘celebrity’ who’s first or last name matches with the corresponding letter (similar to the ABC deadpool). If your chosen word includes the same letter more than once, please choose different ‘celebrities' for each. Example - Strawberry Simon Cowell Terry Gilliam Ryan Reynolds Alan Alda William Shatner Barlow, Thelma Ewards, Huw Roberts, Eric Roberts, Julia Yuri Oganessian Scoring - Each death will be scored based on the value of the letter in the English language Scrabble so in the example above Thelma Barlow would be worth 3 points as B is worth 3 in Scrabble. There's no difference in points whether first or last name is used, however Alliterative Names, such as Alan Alda, will score double points. Unique picks are worth an extra point. Unique & Alliterative picks are worth triple points. General Rules - Entries close at midday (BST) August 4th and must be sent by private message. Usual deadpooling rules apply (have to be reasonably famous, no death row picks etc…). Make sure to clarify who you’ve chosen if necessary or else the first google result for that name will be used. No need to pick subs, if one of your picks dies in the next week I'll PM you to ask for a replacement. I’m not particularly fussed about obituaries just as long as there’s enough proof to say they’re dead, so feel free to pick as many famous Mongolian sheep farmers as you want. Posting in the thread that your chosen celebrity has died is greatly encouraged, however at the end of the game I will check to ensure no-one has been missed from the scoreboard. In the case of a tie, the team with the most unique picks wins, if it’s still a tie after that the winners can either choose to share the victory or agree to meet in real life and fight it out. Duplicate words are not allowed so if 2 players submit teams with the same word, it’ll be first come first serve and the second player will have to change their entry. A bonus point will be awarded at the start of the game to the player who, in my opinion, has chosen the most interesting word. The game will end one year after starting (August 4th 2025). Thank you for playing.

That reminds me, Nikocado Avocado hasn’t posted a long form video in months, and a Short at least two months ago. I hope he’s taking a break from YouTube for his own sake. Edit: he has more channels with more recent uploads. I believe this is his most recent long form video (with a bullshit thumbnail to boot):

Sam Nujoma hospitalised again , but on the mend.

Disingenuous, swerving, bastards . It may not be for you to intervene after the fact on an individual case, but it most certainly is up to you as the makers of the law under which these sentences were passed to reverse it. Yes I know it was the other lot, but you have no trouble condemning them for all the ills it is politically expedient to say you'll change in time. Say so about this then.

Only diagnosed in June. Pancreatic cancer is horrible

Wait...Mad World was on 51 before so Ladyfiona is correct. Soft Cell was on 53 and stayed on 53.

That's exactly the situation were gonna get.

Yeah, and I agree none of those are high art, but I at least understood their appeal and they were all sing-along-able. One Dance is just a noise. If you're picking another act that spent ages at number 1 that I don't understand/actively despise then I give you: Robson and Jerome.

If you actually bothered to look yourself you'd find out that the event hasn't even happened yet, I found that out simply by clicking on the link in the post above yours.

Last week, Yosh Uchida even received an esteemed NYT obit. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/07/06/sports/yoshihiro-uchida-dead.html

Oh, Bernard. You are magnificent. You are absolutely hero of the day. RIP Bob The Rescues Down Under (1990)

Dead

Good for you. You can kill yourself for 1/3 the price. Save the money for your funeral.

I know these three seem to be in good health, but I don't want them forgotten: William Shatner (93 / actor, Star TreK - Kirk) Walter Koenig (87 / actor, Star Trek - Chekov) George Takei (87 - actor, Star Trek - Sulu) And can't forget these guys either: Dan Rather (92 / journalist) Tom Brokaw (84 / journalist)
