Jerry Springer knock-off. What we call 'Trash TV' in the States

There is also a Wikipedia page, which basically does what this thread is doing. I'm not sure if it reports as many minor deaths as this thread does though. It is interesting to see what Wikipedia will classify as notable in this case. Apologies if this was already shared.

I can't speak for everyone else, but I shall share my own reasoning. As a American. 1. I gave a 'shocked' face, as it doesn't really trigger any other emotion from me. I am just surprised it happened. 2. Don Young was the current Dean of the U.S House. The man has had the same job since the 70's. 3. Young was planning to run for re-election. Previously stating something to effect of, 'He will run till he loses or dies'. 4. This throws Alaskan politics into a whirlwind, and as someone who follows politics closely, it will be interesting. 5. Despite being 88, he reportedly died randomly on an airplane. No health issues that I've been made aware of. 6. As a sitting Congress member, his death would be notable in any given year. In the currently razor-thin divided House, this may have a major impact. Lastly, just because someone is not mentioned on this site....does not mean they don't have significance. Either from a world-wide perspective, national perspective, or even individual perspective. Stop being an ASS for no reason. You cunt.

Seems a bit contradicting no?

Didn't know I did honestly. This community sure does seem sensitive about such things though. Undone.

It goes without saying that most 'notable' people in Ukraine would not be household names in the West, nor have an English Wikipedia. How many could have named the President of Ukraine till recently...

I don't know how to embed tweets. Check out this guy. Update on Hall + mentioned the photojournalist from FOX who died, 13 hour before anyone else. https://mobile.twitter.com/MrKovalenko/status/1503557766132211713

There have been 0 updates on Hall for nearly 24 hours now. Very odd. Found a sketchy DailyMail article, but nothing else.

Adding some more info to a post above. (Wiki) Brent Renaud was killed at age 50/51 on March 13th after being shot in the neck. Reported to be Russian forces. At the time, Renaud was an independent journalist doing work for TIME magazine. Previously, he had worked with NYT and had also produced films (documentaries) for places such as HBO and VOX. The man was well known to travel into danger all around the world and film it for those unknowing back-home. Highly recommend everyone here read more about him and/or watch some of his films. Truly an inspiring man with a shocking level of bravery. I doubt anything major comes out of his death policy wise (sadly). All we can do is respect his work and the man he was. RIP

This thread, like many others, surely needed to be created! Made in 2018 with barely any mention until his death! Add it to the list of notable people who have a thread. That being said RIP.

Not subliminal at all. Every episode was based on a story from the Bible. It also quoted scripture constantly. If nothing else, It was very open about what it was.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.thefocus.news/celebrity/lil-bo-weep-death/%3famp 'Lil Bo Weep' has died at the age of 24 or 22. An original SoundCloud rapper along the likes of 'Lil Peep' or XXTENACION. The so called emo-rap era of 2015-16. Speculated she died from an accidental OD or suicide.

I saw this posted on Twitter earlier. Don't necessarily agree with it, seems like a Ukraine talking point more than anything realistic IMO. Even the land Russians take though, they still fight for everyday.

Pressure from who exactly?

There has been a few Ukranian deaths noted on Wiki over the last week or so. Seems as though people are reporting the deaths in a more timely manner due to all the attention Ukraine is getting. Or they are dying as a result of conflict. Seems notable either way

I just go where the search function takes me!

(Wki) Alan Ladd Jr. dead aged 84.

This seems a bit like the "Most notable deaths each month" argument. It's subjective. Obviously people die everyday. At the time it was a bit odd how no one was added to the Wiki page. Been a few months since I'd seen that personally. At least so late in the day. Deep breaths everyone.

There should be a list made somewhere. Somewhat like the notable COVID-19 list Wikipedia has. Is that something you could add to the new wiki site you guys made @Ulitzer95? So far we have a Chechyna General, Ukrainian military figure, and now an athlete. The list will increase sadly, only getting more notable as we go.

That seems to spell the end for his thread then, no? A chapter of cultural history closes RIP

It wouldn't be an invasion. They already control that area of Moldova and have for quite some time. It's a mere formality. Everyone keeps saying WW3. It isn't happening. A World War takes allies. Russia has none. China isn't going to risk World War for a country they don't even like much. China wants to, and is becoming, the new U.S style world-power. Mainly through economics. They would waste a lot of time and effort to fight now. If Russia escalates this farther they (Putin) will be alone.

Congratulations @Salmon Mousse on the overwhelming victory. Beginner's luck no more it seems. Well put together team! @Spade_Cooley thank you for hosting this pool. Good luck to everyone who is left, will be back next year!

I wish you couldn't. The site loses nothing if you are lost. Similar to others. You'd think a site devoted to death would realize life is too short to deal with such people.

Ukraine is holding out. Impressive. It will fall eventually, but we are getting closer to a full meltdown by Russia.

I think we have enough threads on this now ffs...
