FinalChapter

Ryuho Okawa, founder/CEO of Japanese megacult Happy Science, has died of a stroke aged 66. No English language sources on the beat at this hour but I'm sure they will be published soon. Okawa was viewed as the current incarnation of the god "El Cantare" by his followers, and his cult notably had a rivalry with the much more infamous Aum Shinrikyo cult during the 1990's. Okawa even survived a sarin gas-based assassination attempt. Happy Science also made the news during the pandemic for their pushing of "spiritual vaccines" - essentially offering to pray the COVID out of people's bodies for the modest price of 400 bucks per blessing. Enjoy Hell, weirdo!

RIP to one of the asterisks on the list of surviving Muhammad Ali opponents. Jay had the honor of jobbing to Ali in the lead-up to his bout with Antonio Inoki.

Also the main difference is these documents are being found and handed over by Biden and Pence's own legal staff, whereas Trump had to be asked for missing legal documents multiple times to the point an FBI raid was required.

Nash brushed off concerns he was suicidal on his podcast this week while discussing the death of Jay Briscoe, in typical wrestling fashion: Link to clip

Update: On his "final stream" Mekotur says he has Stage IV brain cancer and is blind in one eye as a result.

Keemstar is a noted bullshitter but: For those unaware of him, Metokur is probably the most popular name on the internet in the field of "Making fun of cringey videos that teenagers post on YouTube/TikTok".

You said it, not me.

Spotted the nonce.

You have to be a *real* little-cocked no-pussy-getting retard to jump to Andrew Tate's defense. No offense to the retards present.

Damn, another bummer. Very funny and humble lady based on all her interviews. RIP.

RIP

Ruggero Deodato, director of light-hearted children's films such as 'Cannibal Holocaust', has died aged 83.

Leach has been revealed to suffered a massive heart attack, with no one finding him until 10 or 15 minutes after suffering the attack as well as possibly a seizure. Sounds extremely likely to have suffered brain damage.

RIP. A man as sweet, heartfelt, and poignant as his work. Especially sad after the death of Julee Cruise earlier this year.

Miller also designed the Rocketeer suit for the titular film and sculpted the basic prosthetics for Davy Jones' tentacle beard in the Pirates of the Caribbean film, among many many other credits. One of great those unsung heroes of film props and effects. RIP.

In an interview with the wrestling press, AEW president Tony Khan, the son of billionaire Fulham FC/Jacksonville Jaguars owner Shahid Khan, spoke about how his mother Anna Carlson Khan suffered a major stroke, her second in recent years, and required major surgery on her heart to prevent any further.

Watching Tales of the Territories on Vice, specifically the Portland episode. Bushwhacker Luke is part of the main roundtable discussion and looks very good for his age of 75, but Bushwhacker Butch is notably absent. I did find this Zoom interview with both of them from several months ago, where Butch both looks and sounds like he's 20 years older than his former tag-team partner.

It's just an app, ya dumbass incel.

Most Mexicans have native ancestry?

The great Aline Kominsky-Crumb, wife of Robert for 44 years and a raunchy cartoonist in her own right, has died of pancreatic cancer. She was 74.

He's right and you're mad ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

B-movie film director Albert Pyun; probably best known for 1990's "Captain America" from the dark age of Marvel movie adaptions, and 1989's "Cyborg" starring Jean-Claude van Damme, suffers from MS and dementia and briefly went missing after posting a message indicating he might be suicidal before being found safe.

Ted has terminal cancer with at most 2 years to live, according to a letter from the man himself.
