    Well, source seems reliable, but obviously I would have expected a family statement by now, or a news report. 

     

    Let's see.

     

    Wonder if this is a case where the family would rather see him buried before announcing anything (for obvious reasons)

    well, that explains the lack of a reaction to Kissinger's death. Bev Stohl's Reddit comments also say this happened some time after Daniel Ellsberg's death, so latter half of June 2023 it seems like

    That’s a shame. I know these type of places are struggling but I’d have expected Lush to go out of business before them. The women who shop there end up smelling like potpourri prostitutes.

    Body Shop is pretty much the same old, same old with nothing new, while there seems to be something new at Lush every season, which I personally appreciate

    Interesting he gets an obit when in the past some former Dutch PM’s have not obited. 

    Guessing the unique nature of a former head of government choosing euthanasia, especially at the same time with his wife, made him additionally notable

    Not sure if this means the marriage is annuled or simply a court/secular marriage now, but it's no longer an Islamic marriage it seems like

    I suppose.  Back when I spent far more time delving into the math of DDP, it became apparent that a hit in this age bracket was as bad as a complete whiff in most others.  A team comprised of nothing but 100 year olds, in which every single pick dropped dead, would've only scored 83 points (assume Johns went after her birthday).  Scoring was abnormally low last year so that would've netted a T13... which I guess would be meaningful to someone somewhere.

     

    I mean, I'm legit trying to have a team with 20 hits at some point, so I'm less concerned about the points and more about the number of hits - mind, I still enjoy being higher up in the rankings than the previous year, but I'm also playing against myself in a way
