Now, I also think that a big death is coming very close. The past days have been too quiet. Yes, I have a feeling someone big is going to die today. We may not know it for a day or two, but I have a feeling it's happening today.

93. He seemed to be one of the less evil out of a cunt regime. The old guard down to Immortal Kim Yong-nam, ubercunt Kim Ki-nam and Choe Yong-rim. After them there are some born in the mid-30s (Pak Jae-gyong, Ri Myong-su, Ju Sang-song who reappeared this summer, Thae Yong-su, Kim Yong-dae) but they feel like a different generation and none of them are A-listers. So down to three. Kim Yong-nam suffers from Parkinson's and dementia, Choe Yong-rim is wheelchair bound and Kim Ki-nam is so frail he has failed to make public appearances for two years.

Choe Thae-bok is dead at 93

Vladimir Lenin died on this day 100 years ago, aged 53. - Lenin's real last name was "Ulyanov", and his older brother Aleksandr was executed for attempting to assassinate Tsar Alexander III in 1886. He adopted the psudonym "Lenin" in 1901, probably after Siberia's Lena River. - Lenin would be radicalized during his college years, joining a student society (banned by the monarchy) and learning about the works of Karl Marx. By 1889, he was translating the Communist Manifesto into Russian and secretly publishing it. - Lenin was first arrested in 1894 on charges of sedition. In 1897, he was sentenced to exile in Siberia for three years. After exile, he fled to Switzerland, leading a ring that smuggled a communist newspaper into Russia. - Lenin would return to Russia in 1905 after Tsar Nicholas II adopted liberal reforms in his October Manifesto. Lenin encouraged criminal behavior against what he saw as bourgeoisie organizations- banks, post offices, and railway stations. - Despite Russia being an enemy, Lenin was granted permission by the German government to return to Russia in 1917- the Germans believed he would cause political turmoil... which he did by taking charge during the October Revolution. - In the 1917 election, the Bolsheviks placed second behind the Socialist Party. Lenin did not believe this reflected the will of the people, and covertly took control from the more moderate socialists by banning all other political parties. - Lenin began suffering from migraines in 1921, and by 1923 had had three strokes which rendered him mute. He began exhibiting aphasia, and died in 1924 from "an incurable disease of the blood vessels". - Lenin's body has been continuously preserved and his mummy remains on display in Red Square to this day.

You can scrub Colin Stannard (wiki) from this list. Just discovered he died in Aug 2023, aged 99 as per this death notice. Means that Henry Wylie Moore (b. 1923) is the last Church of England bishop or archdeacon who served during WWII.

Also not counting Kame Uema (1909) who is apparently still living but remains unvalidated). Now there are only 11 people remaining as 14 people died 6 January 2023 Shige Mineshiba (1909) 113:233 10 January 2023 Hide Hamabe (1908) 114:038 17 January 2023 Lucile Randon (1904) 118:340 25 January 2023 Shinobu Hayashi (1909) 113:316 27 January 2023 Annabelle Holblinger (1909) 113:317 6 February 2023 Yasue Okai (1908) 114:073 8 February 2023 Maria Aulenbacher (1909) 113:093 22 February 2023 Maki Hirabayashi (1909) 113:128 25 April 2023 Shina Seki (1909) 113:206 17 May 2023 Nina Willis (1909) 114:123 25 May 2023 Hazel Plummer (1908) 114:340 4 July 2023 Ushi Makishi (1909) 114:139 12 December 2023 Fusa Tatsumi (1907) 116:231 16 January 2024 Tane Matsubara (1909) 114:093 It was a bad period for Japanese SCs as 9 of the 14 who died were born in Japan (Shige Mineshiba was born in Japan but lived in Canada since age 60). Now 3 of the remaining 11 people (27%) are born in Japan, while back on 3 January 2023 12 of the remaining 25 people (48%) were born in Japan. The remaining 11 living people born in the 1900s 1) Maria Branyas Morera (1907) Oldest Living Person for more than 1 year. Oldest Person living in Spain ever. COVID survivor at 113, oldest emigrant ever. In relatively good shape for her age. 2) Edie Ceccarelli (1908) She has dementia, but is otherwise in relatively good shape. 3) Tomiko Itooka (1908) Active as an elderly person and centenarian. Survived stroke and brain surgery at 110. Looked strong especially compared to the other Japanese SCs, but had a small decline at 115. 4) Inah Canabarro Lucas (1908) Oldest Living nun, survived COVID at 114. The strongest of the people born before 1909. 5) Juan Vicente Perez Mora (1909) 4th oldest man ever (not counting Anisio Rodrigues Alves who is only pending) . Oldest Living Man for more than 2 years. In stable and relatively good shape for years. 6) Elizabeth Francis (1909) Seemed to be bedridden in early 2023 photo but more recent photos depict her in better shape. Her sister Bertha Johnson (1904–2011), lived to the age of 106, making them one of the oldest sibling pairs 7) Ethel Caterham Oldest Person in the UK since Ethel Lang (1900-2015). Survived COVID at 110. In good shape, stable during the last years. 8) Okagi Hayashi (1909) In good shape but she has some decline at 114. 9) Pearl Berg (1909) 3rd oldest Jewish person ever after Goldie Steinberg and Cecile Klein. Claims to be born in 1910. Looked great in her 113th birthday but frailer in 2023 photos, and seems to be on oxygen 10) Masa Matsumoto (1909) While being in good condition in her centenarian and early supercentenarian years she appears to have declined sharply since the age of 113. 11) Charlotte Kretchmann (1909) Oldest Person living in Germany ever. In great condition, celebrated her 114th birthday in a restaurant. Strongest person born in the 1900s so likely she could be the last survivor as she is also born at the end of 1900s (December 1909).

Let’s all consider him as he must be : Jimmy is immortal ! Period !

“I don’t really know a lot about dead sons, but I’ve got a friend who is an expert, and if it’s ok with you I’m going to have him come look at this corpse and verify it’s authenticity and what kind of value it might have.”

Third oldest on your list, Theodore Y. Wu (wiki) died in mid-December, aged 99 as per this obit.

Well then he must be a pretty lousy dictator for having waited until the last two weeks of his terms, AFTER losing a fair and honest election, to throw in that famous "insurrection" without guns, but with selfie sticks and a guy dressed as a freaking moose, against the most powerful country and army in the world. If Trump is elected again, and presuming he is able to see the end of his term, he will leave office, whether he wants it or not, on Jan 20th, 2029, not a day later. To suggest otherwise is just ridiculous and shows an utter lack of understanding of how anything in the United States works.

I'm at the point now where every time I get a BBC News notification I stupidly assume he's dead only to open it to see that a some shit like a 35 year old woman in Rochdale has had her leg bitten off by a neighbours pet pig.

If that’s the case then Carter’s glory years were 2017-21.

Fuck sake. When I saw @Thatcher posting I thought he'd died

Unrelated to the game but worth mentioning: Troy Deeney was sacked by Forest Green Rovers this week after 29 days!

Guy Scott There's a recent picture of him taken on November 5, 2023 and uploaded to his Facebook account. Wrinkly and crinkly and frail, but not as advanced as I expected, as he can still hold a drink (albeit very strugglingly). One of the things I want to point out is that with some cases in Parkinson's, some days you can stand, and others you can't. My gut told me he would be a 2025 hit.

What are you talking about???

Considering how long he's been living in hospice, I'm not sure how much we can read into the diagnosis!
