Progressive US congressman Raul Grijalva announces that he’s been diagnosed with cancer

Too late. Rounds end promptly at midnight UK time

Don’t think those vote of confidences for Toby Keith and Dave Meyers helped them out too well huh…

13. Qualifying obits? Every single English-language newspaper, magazine or significant website, provided that they are not automatically generated by AI. Also Le Monde, Le Figaro, Der Spiegel, Die Zeit, El Pais, El Mundo and Corriere Della Sera. Idiot

Pretty sure that’s one of those Cash Luna accounts

Would’ve preferred Sean Wallace to this tbh

I believe press reader was allowed for a previous hit so given precedent it probably counts

I remember him being the first to break Kirk Douglas so yeah definitely

Ftr I would’ve disqualified that obit if I was hosting so probably gonna have to dig deeper

Twitter reporting that Karl Wallinger of Waterboys and World Party fame is reportedly dead

I'm surprised that a game around the 1940s hasn't come into fruition, especially since there's a game around the 50's! I figured since baby boomers are starting to decline, this pool should be started. The rules are simple, pick 40 people from the 1940's on your team. If they die and receive a DDP eligible obit, then you get a hit. If they don't obit within three months, you replace them with another person. The first person with all 40 people dead and have a QO wins. After the first 15 names, coming up with the rest was actually quite difficult for me, so here goes nothing: Kathleen Blanco Pat Bowlen Eric Clapton David Crosby Tim Curry Gerard Depardieu Oliver Dragojevic Donald Fagen Aretha Franklin Superstar Billy Graham Jimmy Greaves Luke Halpin Stephen Hawking Cynthia Heimel NQO Bill Heine Mazie Hirono Tony Iommi Mick Jagger Terry Jones Jose Jose Tessa Jowell Peter Lorimer Stan Mikita Joni Mitchell Olivia Newton-John Jalal Mansur Nuriddin Ozzy Osbourne Al Pacino Jimmy Page Anna Pavord Martin Peters Iggy Pop Keith Richards Freddie Starr Nobby Stiles Bernard Tapie Christopher Walken Mike Willesee Ronnie Wood Celeste Yarnall Bobby Zarin

No loss

Yeah I don’t know if I could deal with a case like her if I was playing competitively, about the same age as me which is extremely depressing to think about. And yet it’s pick like her that might be crucial to a team chances of winning

YouTuber Twomad dead at 23 from possible overdose

Alright, time to post a list of regrets that you’ll probably have throughout the year. Already mentioned that missing Phelan was a doh moment, and I did decide to punt that Nightbride will see 2023 rather than die this year (probably will backfire looking at teams). Will reveal the rest later…

Damo Suzuki QO

Damo Suzuki dead?

Sri Sri whatshisname?

Rip to the man who got legendarily bodied by actual country legend Kris Kristofferson:

Tbh even if I was playing seriously I still would’ve picked Keith on my roster. I just think stomach cancer is a bit underrated as a cancer and he did look like complete shit in those last photos even if he tried to act like he was fine

I guess it was always destiny that he was going to outlive Apollo Creed huh

And so it begins. Well only for one person…

*In the voice of Abe Simpson* Where are the matches at for us poor spectators? Back in my day teams were revealed right at midnight and now we have to wait over 18 hours for a team reveal? What is this, Jokers Pool? I demand a refund, I demand a… falls right asleep

Has been diagnosed with a rare muscle disease, and he’s now going on his farewell tour. Shame to hear about...
