Dead at age 91

Dead

Diagnosed with leukemia according to his lawyers

Apologies for the bump, but I feel it is worth noting that as of today Jimmy is now the longest lived major Presidential candidate. Beating Alf Landon, the Republican candidate in the election of 1936, who lived until 1987 aged 100 years and 33 days. The only other somewhat notable Presidential candidate to reach 100 is Strom Thurmond, a third party candidate in the 1948 election, who lived for 100 years and 203 days.

Dead

Elizabeth Francis dead at 115. The 1900s decade is now down to 4 survivors.

Jonathan Haze, Seymour in The Little Shop of Horrors, dead at 95.

As it's Laine's (97th) birthday today, her granddaughter once again posted some photos of her. That bed doesn't seem to be on last year's photos.

I admit I'm fighting a possession by The Old Crem. Chinese Politburo member in the 80s, mentor to Hu Jintao, got previous coverage by the Guardian, reportedly in bad health for years. Recently missed the events for the 75th national day of PRC. Above all, 108 next April, and one of the very very few people born in the 10s to be still alive and have legit notability. You probably don't realize how unlikely it is for a top level politician (he is kind the Chinese equivalent of George Shultz) to make this extreme age. In other words, there will be no names this level (very notable already in the 70s/80s) to make this age for a while. Can he become the first really notable supercentenarian? Beside that, God told me Song Ping needs his thread otherwise he won't die.

In case anyone here was remotely curious about how this worked out, I am pleased to report it has gone very well. Date #2 to be arranged soon.

Got a date this Friday with who I would tentatively describe as the ideal man for me. Didn't think I had a chance in hell of scoring him so I was somewhat astonished when he actually made the first move on me, and was all the more keen on my suggestion we go out. I don't think I've ever liked anyone this strongly before (it's at least as much as mango likes Jimmy Carter), and if I could keep him then I think I'd be very contented with life. I've had a fair few things to deal with this last year so to finally find love would be a happy ending.

The worst kind of deaths imho

As announced in the Twisted DL 2023-2024, I'm glad to host the Twisted Deathlist for a third year (time goes fast…). For those of you who haven't participated in the first two editions, here is a quick recap of the rules Rules : Make a list of 20 names + 3 subs who could die between 26th of October 2024 and 1st of November 2025. The one winning is the one with the most points at the end of the year, thus the most hits as one hit = one point. Every time a pick of your list dies, the first sub on your list of 3 replace the dead pick in his/her position and enters the official list of 20. Then, you’ll have to choose another celeb to take the n°3 spot on your sub list. The subs left will move up from one spot putting them a step closer to the official list. If a sub dies before being on the list, then notify it and choose another celeb to enter at spot nº3. Each subs left behind will move one spot up. You can choose similar celebrities as other participants. The only criteria for their admission as hit is a qualifying obit when they pass : a qualifying obit means an article from a respectable source in any country or language. In this case, "respectable" is voluntarily unclear to let a wide range of choice in your picks. Facebook post, insta post, death certificate or others like that doesn't count as qualifying obit. You can choose whoever you want as long as they're famous enough (which means they have articles about their action available online, wikipedias article about them, acknowledgment in their field…) I'll check regularly to see if any hits occurred (besides the obvious pick) but, as there have been many teams last year and I don't have the time to check them all everytime, I'd strongly appreciate it if, from times to times, you can check your own list on the first page in case a hit went under the radar. Every time you have a hit, you just have to choose another celeb. I'll make sure to make a recap every week (or so) of every death and everyone's points. As I stated earlier, the rules remain unchanged : no additional bonuses point will be awarded for unnatural death, solo picks or party pooper death. Entries will be closing tonight. Teams will be uncovered shortly, if not today then tomorrow and the competition starts tonight 23h59 UTC +1, not today contrary to what I said earlier to allow latecomers to take part as well and because I'm a little late in the making of the lists, it wouldn't be fair to start the game while I'm still receiving list ! Also, sorry for not answering by pm, just let me know if your list is not on the first page master list ! Hope everything is clear, Good Luck and thanks again for participating

Crem is going to doomwank himself silly long before the results are in tbh.

Your contributions are valuable and you have enormously improved since you joined. You are a well respected member now.

Teams published. The game has started, let me know if I made a mistake or forgot your list. Good luck to everyone

Now this is a name under 80 that I support being on the list. The man could go any minute.

Ah, every so often I find myself thinking that maybe you get an unfairly bad rep... and then you go and ruin it by posting something

You are also disagreeing with The Old Crem Index - the more strongly he makes a political prediction, the more likely there is to be a landslide in the opposite direction. Based purely on this, I confidently predict that Harris will win all 50 states, along with Congress, the Senate, the Irish General election, the Superbowl, the Nevada state Lottery, and the raffle down at her local pub.

As I’m not sure I’d be able to upload all the teams until tomorrow evening, you’ll have a little spare Time to send your list. The next thread will be created shortly. I received a lot of teams by pm but couldn’t answer to everyone, just be sure that I have taken them into consideration

Interestingly enough, he shares the exact same birthday as his friend Quincy Jones, whom he celebrates it with usually. So a very serendipitous article to be posted when Quincy died.

After a prolonged silence on X her daughter is now posting on her behalf talking about ‘the final beats of her life’.

Reportedly dead on the twittersphere.

Lord Bearer has judged and is happy for Mr Lloyd to have a thread all to himself. I’ll return last week to make sure it’s not deleted.
