After the death of Jan Klenberg (1931-2020) I tried to search for a thread about military leaders, commanders, etc. Didn't find one, so here's one for y'all.

Vojo Stanić, influential Montenegrin painter and sculptor dead at 100. First death from that list.

Mette-Marit suffers from "an unusual variant of pulmonary fibrosis", diagnosed in 2018. It has been suspected that it might be linked to an autoimmune disease. Pulmonary fibrosis is unpredictable, incurable and can only be slowed somewhat. She has suffered from complications now and then - Swedish media reported her to be "seriously ill" back in 2021 and she was on a long sick leave late last year. A couple of months later she was too unwell to attend the annual Christmas celebration at Oslo Palace in December. Earlier this month it was announced that she'd restarted/changed her treatment. She has seemed quite well in recent events but has mentioned she runs out of breath very easily, and her poor health might be delaying her and Haakon's accession. Today it has been announced she's on a sick leave and has cancelled all her appointments due to complications from her new treatment, with rumors going around she's doing much worse than they're letting us know.

Saw this being discussed on social media. Now Gen Z are waging war on our sandwiches! Ditching classics for woke fancy sandwich fillings. Avocado, chili, peppers, olives, chicken and continental cheeses are now "woke".

Ralf Sommerlath's wife (Charlotte Sommerlath) ended up dying some weeks after I posted that, and her worsening health was apparently the reason Silvia visited the couple. Anyways, Queen Silvia of Sweden is suffering from a respiratory infection. No information on if she's in hospital or not.

Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o has been suffering from kidney failure for five years following a triple bypass surgery and earlier this year his son said Ngũgĩ was a wifebeater. Good punt for 2025.

Bal Thackeray, Indian Hindunationalist and right-wing politician died on this day 12 years ago, aged 86. - Bal was born in 1926, the son of journalist and activist Prabodhankar Thackeray. Prabodhankar was a great admirer of novelist William Makepeace Thackeray and had changed his surname from Panvelkar to Thackeray. - Prabodhankar was a proponent of Hindunationalism and greatly influenced Bal's views. - Bal's career started in his 20s as a cartoonist in Mumbai paper Free Press Journal and he went on to launch his own cartoon weekly (Marmik) in 1960. - Marmik quickly grew popular with cartoons mocking government policies and highlighting the problems Marathi-speaking people face. Marmik's growth lead to Bal founding the Shiv Sena party in 1966. Shiv is a reference to 1600s Marathi Emperor Shivaji I, and Sena means army. - Over the next decades Shiv Sena grew into a major power in Maharashtra. Initially it was somewhat apolitical, opposed the Communist Party's trade unions and demanded for preferential treatment of Marathi speakers in private and public sector jobs against South Indians. - Starting from the 1970s Shiv Sena became increasingly ultranationalist and right-wing, inciting violence against Muslims, attacking rival parties and rival media. In 1992-1993 Shiv Sena organized the Bombay riots where 575 Muslims were killed. During those years he stated, in two different interviews: There is nothing wrong if Muslims are treated as Jews were in Nazi Germany. If you take Mein Kampf and if you remove the word 'Jew' and put in the word 'Muslim', that is what I believe in. - By the 2000s he had largely given power to his son, Uddhav Thackeray. However, he kept issuing statements and attending events until his last year. - Bal suffered from heart problems since 2009 and was hospitalised multiple times with heart and lung problems during his last months. On the 12th of November 2012 he issued his last statement denying he is on ventilator support, dying five days later. - Bal's death immediately caused chaos in Maharashtra, the entire state put on high alert with Shiv Sena members forcing shop owners to close down. Bal's funeral had an estimated 1-2 million attendees. And an interesting fact to end this post: Bal met Michael Jackson during the King of Pop's only visit to India. Thackeray reportedly said, "Jackson is a great artist, and we must accept him as an artist. His movements are terrific. Not many people can that way. You will end up breaking your bones."

George Chuvalo looks quite frail here last month.

Mexican hardline cardinal and anti-condom warrior Juan Sandoval Íñiguez hospitalised with dengue.

Tumor removed and they told me it was non-malignant. Post-surgery ICU was an...experience with the stablizing my BP etc, but I was not in much pain and felt safe having nurses in the same room 24/7. Worst part might've been having the cannulas, catheter and other stuff removed. In the next bed there was a 70-something woman who'd had a more dangerous tumor (meningioma) removed and got out of ICU (and out of hospital) before me, and even asked the nurses if the other patients are okay. Standard hospital room was much more "boring" but tricked me into getting up and walking around. I'm out of hospital now, left with a gnarly scar with around 20 staples, slight occasional dizziness, back pain, a pair of hospital socks etc...hoping I won't get any complications. Thank you all who wished me well.

Rico Carty said to be hospitalised in very delicate condition and recently rumored dead.

Nosratollah Moeinian, Iranian Pahlavi-era head of the Special Imperial Office, Minister of Information and Tourism and Minister of Roads dead in France at 103. Originally got close to the Shah as a journalist strongly critical of Mosaddegh, a democratically elected left-wing Prime Minister who was deposed in a coup in 1953. He oversaw the 50s and 60s communist purges, held a very powerful position between 1966 and 1979 and finally fled with the Shah. Wasn't seemingly on our radar.

Yuriko's heart, kidneys and other organs slightly declining, but conscious according to Imperial Household Agency.

I wonder what happened to Finnish actor Veikko Salmi. He was still alive when his wife Hellin Auvinen-Salmi (1911-1997) died and if alive he turned 100 last month, but I can't find anything on him since the 90s. Not in any way as big of a name as his wife, so might've died off-radar.

Dorian Yates (Mr. Olympia 1992–1997) recently underwent hip replacement surgery. Might be one to keep an eye on, but much less health problems than Big Arnie and Ronnie Coleman. Yates says he "looks forward to 20 plus years of exercise" which sounds a bit unrealistic for a former roid user.

Recent articles on Eeva Kilpi talk of her like she's dead already, and there have been lots of events celebrating her life recently. Strong implication she's very ill and a good low requirement pool possibility for next year.

I agree with Ulitzer on the part that he's done nothing wrong, although I'd hope that all these political discussions could be done in the extra-curricular section where there are multiple threads dedicated for politics. Crem atleast occasionally posts a death, a non-political opinion or some piece of information (can't be said for some - looking at the "Carter is actually dead" conspiracy guy and a few others) and I doubt he talks politics with the intent of angering or agitating others.

Jiří Krampol hospitalised and has undergone a kidney surgery. This seems to be atleast the fifth time he's been hospitalised this year. Heart, lung, kidney problems, falls, A l p r a z o l a m overdose in March.

I actually went through that list not long ago, checking who's alive and who's not and Bhardwaj caught my attention as someone who already looked pretty frail a decade ago (along with C. S. Radhadevi, Umayalpuram K. Sivaraman and P. R. Thilagam, the last who I consider a potential off-radar death as she was already quite frail in 2007 when she received Padma Shri and I can't find anything on her since) Purna Das Baul is probably the most prominent and interesting one there (inspired Dylan and Mick Jagger, performed with Tina Turner, Joan Baez, Paul Robeson and Gordon Lightfoot, smoked weed with Charles Lloyd and members of The Band, performed in 168 countries) but seems that he's still performing, so might still live many more years.

Queen Ratna discharged.

Alexey Zazulin, MVD Major General who had connections to Marshal Zhukov, dead at 100 (Facebook link, lots of Russian news sites seem to be filled with viruses these days). Lt. Gen Petro Gusev also died last month according to Wiki.
