Joey Russ

I mean he was never gonna make it to old bones but still shocking he actually died

Just saw him at the DNC. Clearly wheel chair bound and he didn’t even give any sort of speech. Kinda sad to see

Diagnosed with a brain tumor, and had surgery

Normally I wouldn’t open up a thread for someone like him, but as I am planning on going on dead pooling hiatus soon and I really don’t want him to be forgotten about in the dead pooling realm, I think this is a good farewell gift. So for those unaware, John Ashton has been battling stage 4 prostate cancer for the past couple of years, and while on paper he doesn’t seem to be doing horribly, he also doesn’t seem to have the miracle treatment that Andy Taylor had with his cancer. And I’m still getting similar vibes with him as I did with Sylvain Sylvain when I picked him in 2020 and foolishly dropped him in 2021 (although admittedly my dead pooling instincts might be a bit rusty given my motivation for it has been all but wiped right now). I definitely think he should be considered for pools, and could even see him as a cool death list pick. I’ll make sure to advocate for him to appear on the list next year assuming he’s not a hit in the next month and a half…

Buddhadeb wothisface was also previously a DDP pick back in 2022: https://www.derbydeadpool.co.uk/deadpool2022/celebs_B.html#bhattab022

Walz won me over the longer the past two weeks happened. Pleasantly surprised he was the pick, Dems usually pick somewhat lame (or in Shapiro’s case somewhat problematic) picks in the past so glad that changed this time

Gavin Newsom is not getting VP. They aren’t gonna have two safe blue state Dems on the ticket. If Newsom is VP that is gonna depress turnout cause he’s probably the second worst Democratic governor in the country behind Kathy Hochul

The fake letter duped a sitting US senator, that’s good enough for me

The three front runners were Doug Burgum, Marco Rubio, and JD Vance. Reports were already out that Burgum and Rubio were told they wouldn’t be VP. Hm, I wonder who it could be then…

I don’t really have a problem with B Teams in general (especially those that tend to favor more interesting names over the next best twenty or so names) but when half of your B Team roster is shared with your main team as well that’s when it doesn’t really feel right to me.

Died by being hit with a snowball

With Ryuchi Sakamoto and Sonny Rollins already having threads, first impressions of the list seem positive although we don’t know 44 of the other names yet

Looks like he’s set to succeed Liz Truss, might as well make this now

Did a head of lettuce run ahead of her there?

Nah there’s been multiple tweets saying that his death has been denied by his wife, I’m inclined to believe that, at least for now, he’s alive. Though it very well could be a jump the gun situation

Lefty circles seem to believe Chomsky is dead, but take that with caution tbh

Why the fuck are you a motorcyclist at 9?

As I say this of course this starts picking up steam

Us representative Sheila Jackson Lee has pancreatic cancer

Honestly the fact that Burrow is only the 6th hit here proves how slow of a year it has been

Seriously? You’re quoting a post that already stated that she died by re-iterating the fact that she died?

You just signed Dabney Coleman’s death warrant mate!

I'm actually surprised that Brian Wilson is still alive, considering his history of mental illnesses

Steve Albini has died at 61
