In other "news", there's a familiar image on Jimmy's hand in the birthday mosaic.

I'm afraid that was my fault, I submitted it as a joke, but I wasn't expecting it to be accepted.

Vietnamese historian Nguyễn Đình Đầu dead at 104.

Japanese billionaire Nobutoshi Shimamura of discount clothing retailer SHIMAMURA Co. died in July at 98 with so little fanfare Forbes still has him marked alive.

Sophia Loren is 90.

I reckon they'll just stick him in a wheelchair next to a birthday cake on the day, like what they do with people who are the world's oldest. Would be more dignified for a president than just taking a pic of him in bed.

As more sickening sex assault claims emerge, let's remember him as he would want to be remembered, or summat

Brilliant song.

I think it's bizarre that people have got behind a novelty song. I suggest it's largely a love of the whole Monty Python oeuvre. Supporters might ask themselves "Would I really prefer to listen to "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" than (insert your favourite from the rest) I know I would far rather listen to Roxette, the Waterboys or Erasure, to name some of the current top 5.

The drug is called "DeathList 2024"

Recent interview with Le Monde, you can hear her speak here, telling she can’t walk anymore unless with two walking sticks, she hates medicine and sounds frail to me… but she feels young and happy apparently ? The photo is from june

Asbestos Felt (yep, that's the acting name), actor who appeared as the lead in 80s slasher/zombies movie Killing Spree among others, reportedly dead:

If the committee were to drop 21 names because of the 25 name rule, here's who I think should be kept on for 2025: Jimmy Carter Dick Van Dyke Pete Murray Alan Greenspan Ethel Kennedy Cleo Laine Sandy Gall Noam Chomsky Mel Brooks Dennis Skinner Nigel Starmer-Smith James Whale Stanley Baxter Joanne Woodward Jean-Marie Le Pen Hans Blix Linda Nolan Norman Tebbit Willie Nelson Esther Rantzen Roberta Flack Prunella Scales Raul Castro Imelda Marcos Sonny Rollins

Tbh I think we were extremely overdue for a lackluster year. The last time the list went into single digits was back in 2011 which was well over a decade ago. And, I honestly don’t think there were too many potential replacement candidates for the list (obviously I think people like Doherty or James Earl Jones could’ve but that only would’ve somewhat added to the tally, the list would probably still be lackluster). Even the crowdsourced list is only at 10 hits and usually they include candidates that are somewhat more fringey relative to the Deathlist standard of fame
