tracy

Tap dancer Arthur Duncan dead at 97. You might have heard the story of Betty White refusing to remove him from her show because of his race in the 1950s. Was a DDP pick last year.

Gino Odjick dead at 52

Miiko Taka Hollywood Reporter obit. Worth quoting this part: 1. THR definitely read this forum. 2. The family don't want to give out any details, but presumably edited Wikipedia?

Whoops, I thought it said last name too. When can I expect my lashing

Evel's son Robbie Knievel dead at 60.

Lisa Marie Presley dead at 54.

Lisa Marie Presley now in an induced coma on life support

The tweet above means nothing imo. It's just some Canadian guy who appears to be a fan of royals. He probably made an inference based on the reports of him being moved out. (Not to mention the tweet had been up for almost a day before it was posted here, so don't take it as a "recent" development or anything.)

Donald Trump announces the death of Diamond of "Diamond & Silk", the famed online MAGA duo.

Dinamite is on Banana's submission up there.

I forget where I saw the stat, but I believe that, on Wikipedia, 90% of the names on the "Deaths in (year)" articles are men. The 2023 article is currently 92.8% men (169/182).

It has several of those sad heart-hug reactions, and he doesn't seem to change his PFP very often (not to mention the angel emoji). Tied with the Wiki edits, would seem a little much for it to be a random coincidence.

Looks to be true.

And yet the gofundme died within a day of the article being published She has bedblocker potential IMO. This thread seemed convinced she was on death's door back in late 2021, but all we've really gotten since then is a Rolling Stone interview that doesn't mention any health problems. But given that her lungs are apparently fucked up I doubt she'll be dropped even if her condition isn't deathbed-level.

Down to three, Alan Copeland dead at 96.

He died after Ruth Adler Schnee and wasn't picked after that. Don't think he starts a new round.

Earl Boen dead at 81. Best known for playing Dr. Peter Silberman in the first three Terminator films. Also a very active voice actor (to quote WP: "He is known for voicing characters such as Mr. Bleakman in Clifford the Big Red Dog, Police Chief Kanifky in Bonkers, the Narrator in World of Warcraft, Señor Senior, Senior in Kim Possible, and Captain LeChuck in the Monkey Island series.")

Dick Savitt dead at 95

Nate Colbert dead at 76. Padres Hall of Famer and has their all-time home run record (163).

He's indicated several times that he felt he would have a fairly brief tenure and yet he's already coming up on a decade (and, at 86, he's now older than Benedict was when he abdicated). He's also said he felt Benedict "opened a door" for popes to retire instead of carrying on until they drop.
