Dying Probably

Shit a brick, the invincible falls. Mango might be redeemed.

Be.

Might

Big fan personally.

Positively spiffing idea.

Now I'm tempted to post here a million times a day.

To address the title, 3/4 of them. Hint: not the first one. Transphobia is just simply being a pain in the arse for the sake of being a pain in the arse, as the statistics around the topic are showing over the years - and Linehan's constant bitching and moaning on the subject makes him all the more arsehole-y. He's up there with J.K. Rowling as someone who shot their career in the foot by being, as TQR said, an arsehole - and then had the bollocks to decry something that seems basic. "Cancel culture" isn't what happened here: it's the consequence of your own actions. Piss on your Cheerios and they're going to taste like piss.

Got bored. Made another Deadpool. Here are the rules: 1. You choose one person over 70. 2. They will be put in a tournament system, with brackets of 2. 3. If your pick dies before your opponent’s, you win and advance to the next round. 4. They must have an obituary from any site used by the Derby Dead Pool. 5. No FFBI picks, and no terminally ill picks. (a. la. Leah Bracknell) 6. We must know the year of birth and their Wikipedia page must have over 500 words. 7. Game starts on March 1st. 8. You will need a new pick for every round. I will be taking Chuck Schumer.

She really didn't look very well, bless her heart.

2nd hit for me with Iris Apfel. Glynis Johns (4/1) Iris Apfel (1/3)

None since February 28, 2021. Carmen Consuelo Cerezo was the last in office. The longest-serving federal judge to still be in office is Pauline Newman, a Reagan appointee from 1984... who is suspended on health grounds because she's 96, leaving the 79-year-old J. Harvie Wilkinson III from later the same year.

RIP.

I'm pretty sure I DM'ed mine two days ago - sorry, will send again.

Frankly, I'm astounded that Gauger actually made it into the final line-up.

Looking through my lists for ones that don't have images - should I send them to you when I have em @Death Impends or someone else?

I do find very funny that the "don't lock it!" believers are the exact problem children.

Lynn Yamada Davis, known for her TikTok account "Cooking with Lynja" dead at 67 from oesophageal cancer. Obits: NYTimes, The Mirror, Daily Mail Edit: She died on the 1st of January too.

Honestly by the start of c. October I'd completely counted myself out and started cobbling together my 2024 team. Eddie Bernice Johnson getting terrible care at a facility saved my ass here - and what a shame it did. Thank you for running AFB! Been a joy to watch myself crumble and then bullshit my way into a win.

Done.

Who's the next pick? Went for Jimmy myself

Jimmy refuses to go - Ethel it is.

We aren't even double-digits days in!

I'm in!

No way in hell should Sec. Austin be able to keep his job after this one. Not telling the media? Whatever, life goes on. But the President? Your own deputy who's doing your job? Absolutely too far. Personally though? This isn't a "Biden dementia hurr durr" moment - and it'd be a misconstrued way of looking at it to say the very least. The fact that the NSA (Jake Sullivan) didn't know nor did Hicks shows this is a problem on Austin's part, rather than a "we ought not to tell the puppet we have". Also, describing Trump as more 'with it' than Biden is a joke. The "World War II" comment, the "Jeb Bush invaded Iraq" comment, and the "eat their young" one? His own mental health right now is questionable. Nonetheless, this isn't the "political rantings" thread so I'll shut up now...
