    Deathrace 2024

    A two-hour prayer session for Jayapataka Swami's health was held today and he seems to be a pick here. Might be a sign he's very near the end but the guy seems to have more lives than a container ship full of cats.

    The 100 Club

    Teuvo Ruohonen, Finnish cop who founded the Police Rapid Response Unit "Bear Squad" and was responsible for the safety of the CSCE in 1975 when the Helsinki Accords were signed, dead at 101. Participants included Gerald Ford, Brezhnev, Harold Wilson, Aldo Moro, Ceausescu, Tito, Kissinger, Kurt Waldheim and others. Interesting obituary, he shot down a Soviet fighter during WWII and "interrogated" Miss Universe Armi Kuusela in 1952 when she crashed her sunbeam with a bus. I thought of putting him on my Centenarians team but I considered he might die without much fanfare (turns out he already died in early December, two days after Kissinger).

    Thoughts On The 2024 List

    Here's some info on Blix's health. While he's still giving interviews regularly he got TBE (tick-borne encephalitis) in 2021 and spent two months in ICU/hospital with complications and has had balance issues since.

    Who are the immortals?

    Great list with the 2023 miracle hospitalisation survivors,recoverers and deserved DL, Crowdsourced names (Willie, Le Pen and David Graham).

Also, here's the birthday schedule for the next two months. Mostly or actually fully people who logically should've died 2-10 years ago: 4 January - David Musuguri, 104, Cleopa Msuya, 93, Ilia II of Georgia, 91 12 January - Tep Vong, 92 14 January - Ma Shitu, 109 2 February - Dries Van Agt, 93 4 February - Kim Yong-nam, 96 8 February - Khamtai Siphandone, 100 14 February - Juan Ponce Enrile, 100 25 February - Nasser Makarem Shirazi, 97 27 February - Joanne Woodward, 94

    Hospitalised!

    Silvia Pinal out of ICU and improving. It was of course more serious than originally told (apparently aspiration pneumonia judging from different articles) and she was "very badly" when she was hospitalised on the 21st and visited by a priest (last rites, maybe?) on the 27th. Still undergoing respiratory treatment and on antibiotics due to bronchoaspiration, but they want her to be discharged before 2024.

    Foreign Personalities, From Stage, Screen, Politics And Life

    Finally. One of those perennially frail/decrepit types who I'd already dropped as he never seemed to die. I can name three living major firearm designers: 1) George Kellgren (1943) Kel-Tec founder who designed the notorious TEC-9 known for movie appearances, being a weapon-of-choice of organized crime groups and one of the weapons used by the Columbine perpetrators. 2) Leroy James Sullivan (1933) Most notably one of the two or three designers of the ArmaLite AR-15 but also Stoner 63, Ruger Mini-14, Ultimax 100 and Ruger M77. 3) Ronnie Barrett (1954) Father of the Barrett M82 that's still used by more or less half of the functioning armies in the world. There's also cartridge designer JD Jones (1936) who's a very minor name but old and massive in size. Edit, my yearly very unofficial self-made "Finnish list" is here.

    Political Frailty

    Updated for Delors and Clinton-Davis. Abel Matutes is the last survivor of Delors I. 2024 will kill atleast one or two more from those lists. There's three nonagenarians, van den Broek who's had late-stage dementia since atleast 2018 and Steichen who has looked very unwell for a long time.

    Hospitalised!

    Silvia Pinal hospitalised in ICU, on mild respiratory support but not serious. Patriarch Neophyte of Bulgaria hospitalised once again, this time with "various viruses". On Vijayakanth, he was still active atleast as of two weeks ago in this Indian Weekend at Bernie's:

    Oldest Living State Leaders DP

    You made up that Siphandone part but interesting to hear that about Manolic. Here's an image. Looks death warmed up. Edit: according to this, "not critical" and looking forward to his 104th birthday.

    The deaD of 2023

    In my opinion, no disrespect to the dead but what a horrible list. The other stars and notable figures sections especially seem to have lots of people who are known most for dying and probably aren't even notable enough to have individual Wiki pages. There's De Niro's grandson, a stuntman, surfer who died in an accident, guy who was most known for his 5 minutes of screentime in Breaking Bad and an Alabama man who was on a podcast.

    Ideas and possibilities for 2024

    https://www.dailyshincho.jp/article/2017/05160800/ Searching around I found this Japanese-language article from 2017 where Yoko Ono's younger brother (Keisuke Ono) says Sean told him that Yoko was diagnosed with lewy body dementia in May or June 2016. Not sure if this was ever mentioned in non-Japanese news or the forums but I assume this is the "undisclosed illness" she has needed round-clock care for the last few years. Definitely should be kept on the list

    Hospitalised!

    Sri Sarada Math's site says Pravrajika Amalaprana suffered a cardiac arrest two days ago, was resuscitated and has been critical on ventilator since
  23. Paavo Väyrynen "shenanigans" from the last month... At the end of November, he said that he had thought of returning his Order of the Lion of Finland star as he wasn't invited to annual Independence Day reception. However, he asked ChatGPT that said he shouldn't. Days later, he announces he'll hold his own independence day reception. Around 100 locals attended. At the same time he's trying to run for President for the fifth or sixth time but he still needs some supporter cards. You need 20000 of them to register as a candidate. On the 13th of December he says he thinks he'll win the elections no matter who he's against on the second round. That doesn't age well as a week later it's announced he has failed in getting enough supporter cards. Yesterday he announced he's quitting the centre party and party politics and plans to revive his "Seven Star Movement" (one of his two or three former failed political parties) and says that at 77 he's still relatively young for a man. Today he's saying that there was some kind of a misunderstanding and his supporter cards are in Estonia for some reason. I'll be sad when he goes and I hope this isn't his last attempt. He's had a long, colorful political career filled with controversies from becoming Member of Parliament at 23, being a government minister multiple times between 1975 and 2011 and then a deserved downfall due to his own greed especially 2016 onwards when he quit the Centre Party for the first time. Prior to that he had the position of "Honorary Chairman of the Centre Party" and could've retired as a statesman or been in Parliament for a decade more, maybe the rest of his life. Since 2016 he's put more nails into the coffin of his reputation and political career. Unlike a decade ago I don't hate him that much anymore, he's shown his true colors by openly being the greedy bastard he's always been. He's a comic relief of Finnish politics. The presidential election here will be held next month. The next president will be someone who'll try to mimic what the current (Niinistö) has been during his 12-year tenure. Unless there's some larger scandal it'll be either Alexander Stubb (Nat'l Coalition) Pekka Haavisto (Greens) or Jussi Halla-Aho (Finns). Stubb is a sportsman, many would say failed former Prime Minister, silver spoon in his mouth since birth, given EU posts as a retirement gift. Pekka Haavisto is a centre-right liberal with mostly humane opinions on how things should be done, longest political career out of the three but he's had some controversies...past statements will creep up on him in the following weeks. Jussi Halla-Aho is a right-wing populist but unlike most of them he's calm, smug and hard to annoy. For the first time in my life I might choose not to vote.

    Dying Bigots

    Goodloe Sutton died in September. Good riddance. Lorraine Day apparently died last month. Edit: As you know, Saudi Arabia is quite a hell on earth to live for most. Here's a list of Saudi clerics who are old/ill: • Abdulaziz Al Sheikh (1940/1943) Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia. Blind since god knows when and looks like a reanimated corpse. Hates ISIS, chess and the Iranian leadership, approves girls marrying at 10, says churches in Arab countries should be demolished. Mostly a mouthpiece of the Saudi leadership. • Saleh Al-Fawzan (1933/1935) Possibly most senior scholar and very powerful ultra-hardliner. Decrepit and rumored dead multiple times since 2013. On EMAN Network's extremists list. • Rabee al-Madkhali (1931/1933) "Imam of Criticism and Praise". Peaked in the 1990s and rotting in recent years. Says taking photographs is haram which is why not a lot of new images of him exist. Quite a cunt and as the above on EMAN's extremist list. • Abdul-Rahman al-Barrak (1930/1934/1935) Praised by Osama...censored even by the Saudi leadership which tells how much of a extreme bigoted asshole he is. Wants women who drive to be sentenced to death. • Ali ibn Abdur-Rahman al Hudhaify (1947) youngest of the larger names, but already looks quite frail • Abdallah Ben Abdel Mohsen At-Turki (1940) "Liberal". As in not more conservative than the Saudi leadership. • Abdullah bin Sulaiman Al Manea (1930) Oldest of the bunch since last year but remarkably well for someone in his 90s. • Abdullah al-Khunaizi (1931) In failing health last year, but has been ill since a heart surgery in 2005.
