Congrats to Bou on a great Cinderella run throughout the tourney, congrats to those who got Squonked, I'd like to thank Google News and my girlfriend writing a thesis leaving me with a lot of spare time at weekends to research. And fuck me, I have the taste of blood ready for DDP 2k20 now.

Widely reported on Twitter that Lol Mason has died. He was frontman of City Boy ("5-7-0-5") and, more importantly, one of the all-time great one-hit wonder acts, The Maisonettes. RIP stage-hypnotist-looking bro.

VG Siddhartha, Indian coffee billionaire, hasn't been seen in 24 hours. He was last located walking alone by a river.

Proto "lo-fi and chilled hip-hop beats to study and relax to" type Ras G dead at 39.

Big if true.

I assume it's because: a) they themselves were abused by their father; b) they have a strong association with their father in the public eye; or c) they hold a position that would be undermined by this revelation.

https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/9586395/england-football-legend-paedo-dad-caged Any ideas? "England legend" implies more than one cap, living in Surrey and being a former tube worker makes me think he must have been on the books of Crystal Palace at some point... does anyone know anything about the fathers of John Salako or Andy Johnson? Edit: checked, John Salako's dad has been dead for over 40 years. Andrew Johnson actually grew up in Luton... I mean it's feasible his dad worked on the underground travelling from Luton but idk.

Michael Kittredge, founder of Yankee Candles and the man who has meant I never need to think that hard about what to buy my mum for her birthday each year, dead at 67.

Oh for ffs. Like I said, it's hot. Lemme fix that later on.

Alan seems unconvinced by the concept of "heat stroke"

Wrestler/actor Brian Glover got a final kick up the 'aris today in 1997, aged 63.

Horrendous ending to this. Looks like Dadashev was just a boxer who didn't know when to go down and as such took a ridiculous amount of unnecessary punishment.

Confirmed via Xinhua.

Rumours that Li Peng is dead, although nothing confirmed officially.

Benefit fraudster and occasional darts commentator Chris Mason having some mental health issues at the moment following the death of both of his parents.

Rahul Desikan, American neuroscientist who researched the effects of ALS while he himself was suffering from it, dead at 41. DDP pick. He was also an ambient musician in his spare time: It's not for me, tbh.

I thought it was just a tribute to Vader's sterling work in Boy Meets World.

Pete Devereux was one-half of UK garage pioneers Artful Dodger, pretty sure he's not got any underlying health issues...

I asked an AI for the winning 2020 entry. Dunno about this lads:

Robert Waseige, Belgium's manager in 2002, dead at 79. He also had three spells in charge of Standard Liège and worked as a TV pundit in the country until recently.

Pasta ncasciata at half-mast.

Few joys greater than finding a truly incongruous cover version. Doesn't really matter how good it is, or even if it's listenable. Here's doyen of the British folk music scene for the past five decades Richard Thompson covering three-hit sk8 punk poppers Bowling for Soup:

Looks like Harley's race is soon to be over:
