4 pointsUpdate on what she was doing at the Republican convention, clearly there on the fringes, there was a scathing piece in yesterday's Guardian making it clear that Truss only got as far as being in a long line of people allowed to shake the hand of a passing J D Vance, and that unfortunately for Truss the one emerging photo was blurry so likely won't scream "posed essential picure of high powered political figure." Interestingly, The Guardian also devoted a page to a serious discussion of whether former PMs should face strong limitations on what they're able to do, not as biased as you might think, Blair was singled out as a serial offender, selling his skills to the highest paying dictatorial autocrat and - if anything - a worse example of bad behaviour than more recent cases because, basically, he's more able and skilled than chancers like Bojo and flakes like Truss.

3 pointsMarianne Bernadotte has lived in a Stockholm care home the last 4 years. She, Marianne Princess Sayn-Wittgenstein-Sayn (bedbound for the last two years since miraculously surviving covid), Princess Felicitas of Salm-Horstmar, Princess Mikasa (heart failure, two strokes this year, currently hospitalised etc), Induratana Paribatra (is she even alive?) and Ashi Tashi Dorji are all over 100 years old. Marie Christine of Württemberg will be 100 in a few months and is very frail. Sheikh Salem has been seemingly hospitalised for the last three years (and has been in failing health for two decades), Queen Ratna has been in poor health for years and Jamshid of Zanzibar was dying in 2020. It's a small miracle that the list has been without deaths for more than nine months.

2 pointsBored of hearing about this lad now. He’s dead. Can we move on and not play into the hands of media sensationalism and conspiracy theorists by giving it air?

2 pointsReally sad news. That choon was a real floor filler back in the day. 40 years, just days over, ago. Hard to believe. RIP.

2 pointsSomething new on former Afghan prime minister Mohammed Hasan Sharq. According to him, on paper his birthdate is the 17th of July 1924 (not 1925?) but he could be "a year or two older or younger". He is also releasing a new book. There also seems to be a new clip here at 20:02. I think he won't die off-radar.

Interviewed earlier this month with Soap Opera Digest and seemed to be no indication of ill health,mostly just mentioned future projects and charity work.

1 pointSome suggestions from me: Kenneth Cope (battled COPD for years), Jean Marsh (stroke and minor heart attack in 2011), Richard Wilson (severe heart attack in 2016), Ruth Buzzi (bedridden after suffering a series of strokes), Cindy Birdsong (suffering debilitating strokes in 2023).

1 pointLong John Baldry died on this day 19 years ago, aged 64. - Baldry's 'Long' nickname came from the fact he was 6'7" (2.01 meters) tall. - Baldry would become a blues musician as a member of Alexis Korner's Blues Incorporated, and would take over the R&B All Stars band following the death of its frontman Cyril Davies. The latter group became known as the 'Hoochie Coochie Men', and later 'Steampacket', while he was the lead singer. Baldry would also form a band called Bluesology, which featured a certain Reginald Dwight as its keyboardist- who would take the latter half of his future name from Baldry's first name. - Baldry recorded "Let the Heartaches Begin" in 1967, which topped the UK Singles Chart for two weeks in November of that year: Baldry was also known for his song "Mexico", which became the British Olympic team's theme for the 1968 Summer Olympics in Mexico City. - Baldry would later move to Canada, where he would become a voice actor. By far his most notable role was as Dr. Robotnik in The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog: - Baldry died following a long-term chest infection, and he was known for his nosocomephobia (the fear of hospitals).

1 pointThat 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):

1 pointI woke up this morning with (what I thought) were insect bites all over my body, and have spent the day cleaning my entire bedroom and bed only to be informed that we've started using a new laundry detergent and it's actually that a rash caused by me being allergic to it. So now I've unnecessarily wasted the day cleaning and will have to wash all of my clothes to get the detergent out.
