    Robert MacNeil and Josip Manolič are my second and third hits to date this month. This pool seems to be the only place I am gaining points this month.

    WokeWatch™

    What is "woke" about replacing natural fats with industrially processed, possibly hydrogenated, seed oils? That seems cheap and duplicitous. Is a natural foods diet antithetical to "Woke" practice?

    For the next update, Iris Apfel is a very recent hit for me, to add to the score given for Don Murray.

    Royal Family

    My brother died suddenly at age 44 from a pulmonary embolism. Maybe Thomas Kingston died from a pulmonary embolism or another undisclosed or undiagnosed ailment. It does seem to me that people nowadays are dying younger: my husband died at age 52 from cancer complications, my mother at age 58 from cancer, I lost two friends within the last two years to kidney failure, both in their fifties, at least one of them died suddenly. I suppose the closer and more numerous the losses are, the stronger the cognitive bias. Everyone who is active and over the age of 65 seems to me to have intrinsic longevity factors my friends and family did not.

    Films with entirely dead casts

    Today I came across a Find A Grave page for Silas Hathaway, who until 2017 had been the last living cast member of "The Kid" (1921). Not many actors survive their last film by 96 years.
