Sir Creep

If it makes you feel any better, MC is blocked because his posts contribute a grand total of naught to this site. Somehow I have allowed your posts to continue, call it an oversight, but you’ve been absent. Regardless, you’re just above MC which isn’t saying a lot, but hopefully it makes your day. SC

Siragusa was great entertainment in a dumb jock way and I mean that (for once) in a positive manner. He was funny and insightful enough and I was vocally saddened to hear of Goose’s death a few minutes ago. Too young. RIP SirC

Stumbled across this Ford Motor advert.

Caleb Swanigan, the 2017 Big Ten Player of the Year and standout at Purdue, has died, the school said Tuesday. He was 25. SC

Carole Gray is on my Facebook friends list. None of the above.

I mean if I woke up knowing I’d have to marry fekkin Tom Mann, the thought would cross my mind. Just sayin.

(Quoting @Lafaucheuse fae Ideas & Possibilities 2022) some French new names : Helene David Weill (1933) : art collector and patron Michel David Weill (1932) : art collector, patron, banker and husband of Helene. ____________________ Michel David-Weill, whose gifts of money and art helped transform the Louvre and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, has died at 89. The Louvre said in its obituary for him that he died on June 17 in New York. This makes Helene an available widow for the Widow thread. SC

Amputations?! Shit just got re

Not sure where to drop this obit, this is one of a few places it could go. Joel Whitburn, who turned his fascination with the Billboard charts into a career cataloging the history of charted music that kept gatekeepers honest about the performance of hits, has died. He was 82. He died at his home in Menomonee Falls, WI. Whitburn published hundreds of books, including many in entries of series like “Top Pop Singles,” “Top 40 Hits,” “Top 40 Albums” and “Top 40 Country Hits,” helping the whole industry with reliable chart stats and records. His books were crucial to DJs, publicists and chart nerds. SC

There’s always a wee bit of discharge after bowel surgery.

Looks like a thread deserves the Phelps treatment. No reason for anyone to create threads for completely healthy middle aged people 20 years before needed. @ObakeFilter enjoy your reward, fool.

I wonder what this Deathlist site could be about? hmmmm …

[In case you’re dumb, or lazy. Or dumb and lazy. https://www.metric-conversions.org/temperature/celsius-to-fahrenheit.htm] Now that THAT’S out of the way… Update on the historic heat dome for next week. The models are consistent on relentless, historic and dangerous heat in the South/ Southeast. Left: Rank of heat dome strength. In dark red, the equivalent of a 1 in 100 year event in this area, for the summer solstice (Tuesday). In purple, unprecedented heat dome strength in the period of record 1979-2021. Middle: European model forecast high temperatures with widespread 105-110+ temperatures at the surface from northern FL north into the Deep South and Southeast.(This is without the heat index) WFLA News Channel 8 image credit left Tomer Burg, right WeatherBell. Tampa will be on the southern edge of the heat dome, very hot, but not as bad as further north. As for those asking about how climate change affects heat. There is a direct line. It does not cause heatwaves, but it spikes them, like heat waves on steroids. In the US, rare heat waves like this are now 3-5 degrees F hotter and last longer. That’s because small shifts in the average global temperature, mean large shifts in the extremes, as illustrated by the bell curves attached Right. Credit Zack Labe.
