Wheelchair bound and on oxygen in latest pictures. Definitely a keep.

A sure fire pick for the Deathlist now has to be Ian Smith AKA Harold bloody Bishop. Terminal lung cancer, and its one of the rarest and worst prognosis lung cancers too. A gimme for the DL and Drop 40 imo. Sad though as I really liked Harold as a kid.

Isn't there a thing called palliative lying, where it's considered kinder to simply tell the person that their deceased loved one will be "back shortly" etc, and divert their attention to a different topic? I think it's far kinder to let people in the stages of advanced dementia think they're alive than force them to go through the same sadness over and over again.

American singer Steve Alaimo (Wiki) reported dead at 84, some days shy of his 85th birthday. FB tributes here, here and here He had nine singles chart in the Billboard Hot 100 without once reaching the Top 40 in his career, the most by any artist.

Perhaps rather than trying to shut people like Brad down because he doesn’t share your worldly view, you should tell us why Hunter deserves a pardon. Or indeed maybe a talking point for the Americans should be *why* their head of state should even be allowed to have such a powerful function that overrides the natural process of the justice system in the first place.** **At the political rants and discussions thread ofc – none of this is particularly relevant to Sleepy Joe’s health and thus off topic here.

Shut the fuck up.

Deathrace Form Guide #15 Dave Blunts Bored of Picking Octagenarians,Cancer Patients and Immortals who frequent hospitals but seem to never die? For a change of pace why not pick a 500 Pound Rapper who requires an Oxygen Tank and might be a double chunk chocolate cookie away from meeting The Reaper.

Betty Bausch-Polak (Wiki), Dutch Holocaust survivor dead at 105

One of Dubbya's final pardons was for hip-hop producer John Forte, who was behind the worst single of 1998 and possibly one of the 50 worst songs ever recorded: (he was in prison for coke-dealing rather than somehow capturing the worst excesses of shiny suit rap into four minutes)

Would you like to challenge me to go through the whole deep purple discography? I recently downloaded their album "whoosh" and loved every bit of it

Joe Biden has now pardoned his son Hunter. Quite possibly his dumbest ever decision, having now shattered any positive legacy he may have had left, and vindicated Trump and MAGA linking the two of them together.

Various twitter reports that Terry Griffiths has died. I'll try and get links in due course.

Gunnel Stenbäck, oldest in Finland and former head of the Helsinki Deaconess Foundation dead at 110. Oldest in Finland now I believe is Arvi Hämäläinen, born in January 1917. Quite a drop. I mentioned Hämäläinen here some months ago, he's a (very slightly) locally notable costume designer and has had multiple hospitalisations since 2021.

Silvia Pinal (1931-2024) "She is perfectly fine, not even hospitalised" (Family denial, level 1) "Ok, she was in hospital, but is much better now" (Family denial, level 2) "Ok, she is still in hospital, but out of ICU" (Family denial, level 3) "Ok, she is still in ICU, just needs a little supplementary oxygen" (Family denial, level 4) "Ok, she's dead, but one day even Jimmy Carter will die!!!" (Highest possible level of denial) Age at death: 93 Known health issues: Wheelchair bound for years, hospitalised in ICU with heart disease and COVID in December 2021, hospitalised in ICU wuth aspiration pneumonia in December 2022, hospitalised in ICU in December 2023, hospitalised in March 2024, hospitalised in ICU in November 2024. Cause of death: Dead? No, no, by now she has surely been discharged. Alignment: One of the greatest actresses of Mexican cinema and very beautiful in her prime. Melted into a wax statue in her later years. Also had a political stint as senator, and fought for civil rights in the 80s.

It's not.

It depends on the person and how they can comprehend. I get what you are saying. But If you would lie and say they will be back soon, but then they do not come back you might cause them anxiety of why they are not coming. While yes maybe if you have to tell them they have died many time, it can create sadness for them, but for that one moment in time at least they know the truth and you are not giving them pointless hope.

I just opened the first window on my One Direction Advent calendar and Liam Payne fell out.

Whale might be the first celeb I'm 100% sure is deliberately trolling deadpoolers. That's like four years in a row now he's come out with "yep, looks like the end of the line for this ol' bag of bones" in late November/December, only to show absolutely zero signs of being close to death for the other 10.5 months of the year.

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.

Saw a Scouse tribute band last night. Took That.

This might cheer him up.
