    So yeah, you're not done with me as DDP co-host yet. No one offered to take up the mantle, but doing slimmer obits has made things considerably easier and pretty much "TMIB redux"-proofed the front page. In fact I don't think there will be any changes for next year, rule or personnel wise, outside of acknowledging that The Times is a .com website now rather than .co.uk. The DDP 2025 thread and launch will be coming over the weekend.

    Comes out in favour of assisted dying.Mentions he is on the last type of chemo available and that it isn't stopping some of his 15 tumours growing but is limiting the rate of growth.

    Some happy news I want to share with all of you: about two months ago, my wife and I became parents for the first time. Our son is in good health and growing well, just as my wife has recovered well from giving birth. Our daily lives have changed massively, but we're lucky enough to have lots of loved ones who are there for us in these changing times. We're both completely in love with our boy, and it's great to see him learn new things.

    There are many many more I guess. To cite a notable one, Ivanne Trebbi (wiki), born 1928 and also a deputy in the 80s.

    Speaking of Misty, it appears she may have deleted her Instagram and X accounts. They were the most frequent sources for updates and photos of Steve.

    All I really care is that Buzz Aldrin stays and Frankie Valli joins.

    Well this year has been a disaster huh? You know the drill, nominate your favorite Pokemon from Nebraska that the committee will promptly ignore. I think Rex Williams would be a good boomerang pick, was picked back in 1990, and he’s getting up there in age. Last time we had a big boomerang pick it was successful with George Cole, I’m just saying

    Will Cullen Hart, co-founder of the legendary indie rock collective Elephant 6 and the Olivia Tremor Control, has died. He was 53. Robert Schneider, of the Elephant 6-affiliated band Apples In Stereo, confirmed Hart’s death “of natural causes” on Facebook today (Nov. 29). https://www.facebook.com/robert.schneider.351/posts/27740061178973933?ref=embed_post

    Jointly responsible for this. Absolute class in my view.

    Philip Glass and Godfrey Reggio a few weeks back - well, either that or Simon and Garfunkel's homeless twin brothers!

    Don't understand the hate for Reet Petite. I have fond memories of it. At the time I was working on a promotion, mundane office job stuffing envelopes and the like while listening to music on a Walkman. Reet Petite was a favourite as it continually zipped back and forth from ear to ear, just a really fun track to listen to in that medium.

    Many outlets are referring to Silvia Pinal as "the last Diva from Mexican Golden Age". There's plenty left, just to cite some: Maria Victoria, Alma Rosa Aguirre, Tongolele, Elsa Aguirre, Alicia Caro, Rosa Carmina, Irma Dorantes. Most of them are frail, but Elsa Aguirre seems to be in excellent health.

    Aussie acting legend Jack Thompson is worth a consideration imo. He's been being kept alive by thrice weekly dialysis for the past few years after kidney failure due to cancer. 85 next year and is looking increasingly ancient.
