I'm afraid mr Kissinger himself doesn't agree: source

He released a book on AI last month together with Eric Schmidt (the former CEO of Google). I honestly don't think Kissinger has any big insights on AI, but I don't feel the urge to read it just to be sure about that. And last week this tweet came up in my timeline (as an advertisement, so some ad company had decided I want to know more about Kissinger. Or there might be a special 'interesting for deathlisters' ad profile).

Dead, but the 85 pictures remain. (and, if you missed the context... The Daily Mail covered it in 2012 https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2095400/Ria-van-Dijk-takes-photograph-fairground-rifle-range-year-1936.html)

Surprisingly enough he makes a return at the WSOP this year, 88 years old, and he has survived the first day of the Main Event.

The corresponding article says she stayed there for 5 months (as of september), it doesn't make clear whether it was/will be temporal.

A Dutch journalist visited her in september because of the album she released with Warren Ellis. She could only speak for a short while without extra oxygen. Watch for yourself over here: https://platform.ilfu.com/op-bezoek-bij-de-legendarische-marianne-faithfull.

Family of Wim Jansen (75 today), twich runner up at the world championships, friend of Cruijff and former manager of Celtic, has announced he suffers from dementia at the release of his biography .

He didn't look too bad 5 months ago (not brilliant either..):

I was intrigued by this tweet. It's the leader of the 1984 Sitcom Suzanne Pleshette Is Maggie Briggs which - as you might have guessed - wasn't a success and only lasted for 6 episodes. Lifespan of most cast members was cut short as well.. Suzanne Pleshette died in 2008, 70 years old, Kenneth McMillan died at 56, Stephen Lee at 58, Roger Bowen at 63 and Michelle Nicastro at 50. Only Shera Danese (72), John Getz (74) and Alison La Placa (61) are still alive.

MMA-fighter Justin Thornton had died, after being KO'd 6 weeks ago.

She's been caught again, according to Bild she was walking along a large road (which is quite impressive, at 96 years old) https://www.bild.de/regional/hamburg/bremen-aktuell/paukenschlag-zum-prozess-auftakt-in-itzehoe-angeklagte-kz-sekretaerin-auf-der-fl-77828838.bild.html#fromWall

Dutch national TV said she took a cab to a metro station and disappeared: https://nos.nl/artikel/2399798-96-jarige-verdachte-van-nazimisdaden-vlucht-voor-rechtszitting

His grandson and heir apparent, Ferdinand Zvonimir Maria Balthus Keith Michael Otto Antal Bahnam Leonhard von Habsburg-Lothringen is currently in the lead in the LMP2 at the 24h of Le Mans. Just wanted to share this useless information with you all.

She's on oxygen now, but hit bullseye once again https://www.destentor.nl/home/slecht-ter-been-maar-eigenwijze-luchtbuks-ria-101-schiet-staand-en-twee-keer-raak~af2fc373/?referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F.

Thought he died when I saw this tweet: But Buffett is just stepping down as trustee of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. And in the accompanying letter he writes this:

Bad pick! Kees Rijvers (former Dutch international and coach of the Dutch national team and PSV Eindhoven) turned 95 last week. Based on this article He still lives on his own, still cycles to the bakery (much to the dismay of his children) but doesn't watch the national team anymore because they play too defensive. He does still enjoy Messi, Hazard and De Bruyne though. And he enjoys to play billiards. According to the article this is a pic on his 95th birthday:

He would be a nice name on the list..

Astronomer Kees de Jager turned 100 last week. He wrote his last scientific paper 2 years ago and he used to be in great shape (running a 10k at the age of 91) until he took a nasty fall last year. He had to follow his centenary on Zoom but was still able to give interviews (and he was the coverboy of the dutch New Scientist).

When I saw Nigel Bond on the ShootOut a few months ago he looked like some kind of dying vulture.. but he did secure his tour card so you might all be able to see for yourself next year.

Good to see he looks like his old self again! (but in this pic it looks like he's gotten a wig. Maybe his hair transplant went wrong)

You didn't mention my Leo Beenhakker thread.

I'm pretty sure he will still be obitable. There have been some more Islam-critic cartoonists-related incidents in recent years.

After seeing the images from last month, I didn't expect him to leave his house ever again (except for the hospital of worse) so this is surprising. But he's still old and frail.
