He did it

That's one of my favorite Prince songs. Rest in peace.

Cancels convention appearance. His team says he's unable to travel. Definitely declining pretty rapidly. Will he make 2025?

Speaking as a college freshman, she definitely has a widespread fanbase to this day. Definitely a good endorsement to have, though I feel as if most of her fans would support Kamala anyway.

Very funny, definitely check it out if you can.

I was recently in Danville, Illinois, and came across this mural of famous people from the town. Strange coincidence that two DLers both have roots in a small town in Eastern Illinois. There was also a bit of a DVD worship going on in all the businesses in the downtown area, with shrine-like collections of DVD merch.

I have pretty major Midwest pride, so the Walz pick makes me genuinely glad to vote in this election, as opposed to a half-hearted affair.

Chino XL, American rapper, dead at 50, according to Xwitter.

Is he unwell?

Oh my God finally! I was considering voting third party (I'm in Illinois which would go to Democrats if Biden were a literal corpse) but now it's looking a little better. But now who? I'm thinking someone sprightly like congresswoman Grace Napolitano.

I went with Sly Stone. Because that would be a total bummer.

June Leaf, abstract artist, dead at 94.

My least favorite thread to get an update on. Rest in peace.

A scroll through Wikipedia suggests all who's left is Dick Rosenthal, 94.

Ignatius Jones of Jimmy and the Boys, an Australian shock rock/punk/new wave act, dead at 67 on the 7th of May. I never would've known his name had I not found his single "Like A Ghost" atop a pile of rubble. Really good stuff!

Among the greatest to ever come from Chicago. Rest in peace.

Article says 30 April

This was posted in February, on here too.

It's so sad, he'll never know who killed his beloved ex-wife..

Karen Yarbrough, current Cook County, Illinois (including Chicago) clerk, dead at 73. Pretty big shock, she seemed pretty much fine when I've seen her.

I think he's pretty much got the evangelicals down pat at this point. It'll either be someone from a minority, like you said, or a nutjob buddy of his.

In my forensics class, we've been watching a short documentary about the body farm (a large plot of land where people do research on the way human bodies decay) and I was surprised to learn that the founder, William Bass, is still around. Not only that, but it seems he's still somewhat active. Maybe hanging around with rotten flesh does well for the human body.

One also died in a bizarre gardening accident

Dorie Ladner, American civil rights activist, dead at 81. I hadn't heard of her until I got the obit notification. Seems like she did some important stuff back in the day.
