Muhyiddin Yassin had a slight increase in his cancer markers but is still classified as being in remission: https://www.freemalaysiatoday.com/category/nation/2024/12/10/court-grants-muhyiddin-temporary-release-of-passport-for-uk-trip/

So I did find a name this morning who might replace Jody Gormley on my main team - though the person is not joker-worthy. They would be, I guess, if they were unique, and they will almost be. But I suspect they're going to be on a team that I have shared non-obiting and non-dying names before as well.

I get Joe Biden vibes from him. Will Bolsonaro run again?

Damn, that was fast, and damn, would have jokered him in everything. He had more co-morbidities, so it does not surprise that much.

Oh, he's a sexy revolutionary... too dangerous.

Prince William talked to Donald Trump about Charles' cancer. https://www.express.co.uk/news/royal/1986548/prince-william-king-charles-health-update In the immortal words of Donald Trump: "And I asked him about his father and his father is fighting very hard, and he loves his father and he loves his wife, so it was sad." Still, apparently William makes a difference between Kate who is doing well, and Charles who is "fighting very hard". I mean.... Charles' cancer is terminal isn't it?

Ras Muffet, UK dub ... legend ... , member of the Jah Shaka Sound System, has died: https://mixmag.net/read/ras-muffet-uk-dub-soundsystem-legend-died-news

Popular meteorologist for the Columbus NBC channel Bob Nunnally, dies from cancer at 68: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-14173991/tv-reporter-dies-aged-68-months-declaring-cancer-free.html Just a few months ago, he had been declared cancer-free from pancreatic cancer. Next time, I guess I'll just pick the local TV guy with pancreatic cancer and hope for that Daily Mail obit... whenever there will be another guy. But then again, Nunnally survived it for two years.

I ... think that's from September. To be fair, he's been in remission and then back to cancer so often, it's easy to get confused.

Zzz.... nothing happening. I bet somebody thought about picking Arnold Yarrow, but didn't.

Alright, here is now where I add the names with my list, this will be updated, but for now: Geoffrey Boycott (have a feeling there) King Charles III (wouldn't want to miss him)

Probably not, but we weren't talking about all of them, but about the Syrians. The former are often "economic" refugees. The latter are those actually fleeing from war and the Assad government.

The president of Srpska Milorad Dodik has been hospitalised and is about to have surgery of his stomach and esophagus.. hmm.... https://news.az/news/republika-srpska-president-milorad-dodik-hospitalized

It's always the well-educated people who leave. Syria will be fine. I actually thought it was rather cynical when Europe, and especially Angela Merkel decided to accept the Syrian refugees in 2015. It bleeds those countries dry. And European economies might almost wish for conflict abroad if it nets them more labour. (Which is why the Tories didn't manage to curb immigration - they didn't want to. Old school conservatives, like Ronald Reagan and Helmut Kohl actually never really do.)

Wikipedia just added the notable death of Ihab Makhlouf: https://chouftv.ma/press/731644.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ihab_Makhlouf He was a cousin of Assad and is among a couple of Assad regime people who were killed while trying to escape Damascus. Reliable source(s)? Anyway, looks like Assad himself was wise to escape.
