The forums as a collective had to get things right at some point

High key wondering how far down Inverse will have to go at this point - not sure if Plowright or Law hit D40, but I could see them there easy

well, there's goes another candidate for the inverse DP starting line up with Nolan

How long can Chomsky last? Is he the next Jimmy Carter?

at this rate, Inverse DP will have to pull from much lower on the list than usual

Another one bites the dust in Peter Yarrow

How likely is it that that makes 2 Drop 40 dead in a day?

I was on team JMLP till he dies, and now that he has...do I go Murdoch for the 'will read his obit with pleasure' factor again? That said, Chomsky seems far more likely to kick it, so Chomsky till he dies it is!

At least four killed and four more wounded in Montenegro shooting

From what I can figure, his family released a statement to that effect on his website give or take 4 hours ago at time of writing this post: https://philipzimbardo.com/ Not sure why none of the typical publications haven't picked it up yet, but I wonder if they're distracted by the Sinwar news

Actually not that big of a deal - there's a lot of people going no phones at least for the ceremony because people with phones insist on taking pics and often stepping front of and ruining the pics from the professional photographers (don't ask how many stories I've heard of key moments like the first kiss being ruined in pics because of an overeager guest). Now, no pics during the reception does seem a bit much, but depending on who was getting married (aka degree of relationship to Michael) and how many people were there, I can see it being agreed w/ the bride and groom beforehand.

By all accounts, he seems to be holding on to be able to vote. Early voting in Georgia opens in 2 weeks + they count your vote even if you die between then and counting the votes/declaring the winner, so news may kick up once more around then
