I tried to find out if she has that bad cancer gene mutation. If she does, she wont last a year more. But the illness seems to be moving slowly.

Oh....

Surgery successful, they're saying.

Yesterday, he tweeted about the writers strike. Very composed tweets, pretty impressive.

Yep, been a couple of busy days! We're roughly 15 down from reaching the 1-hit-per-day rate, which is pretty good.

Star cardiologist Gaurav Gandhi dies of heart attack: https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/life-style/health-fitness/health-news/cardiologist-gaurav-gandhi-who-had-done-more-than-16000-surgeries-dies-of-heart-attack-at-41-report/articleshow/100820338.cms Admittedly, not entirely ironic because he can't operate on himself, but yeah, good for a chuckle.

Doug Cockle, voice actor for Gerald of Rivia, aka "The Witcher" in the high-profile video games has "full-blown" prostate cancer: https://www.gamingbible.com/news/witcher-fans-support-geralt-actor-confirms-prostate-cancer-985920-20230607

Yeah, the writing is on the wall, he's just a VERY high-profile person so it's a little hard to think he's dying soon. But respiratory issues, intestinal issues, part of the colon has already been removed!, the damaged lung. His pontificate is now much longer than Benedicts'. And he's older than his predecessor was when he retired. And Benedict was basically just "old", there was no reason he shouldn't have reached this high age. With Francis already being 86 years old, it's his time soon. Maybe even too soon for the next Deathlist.

Dave King, radio "legend" from Lubbock, Texas, died today according to the article behind a paywall: https://www.everythinglubbock.com/news/local-news/lubbock-legend-dave-king-passed-away-on-monday-son-says/

Yeah, not sure about what to do with him. Can I replace him? Is he a hit? Or is it simply over?

You seem very invested in this competition :). Though I guess that's part of the appeal of this pool, the best to watch as it unfolds.

Well, at least Beverly Shade is a clean hit: https://slamwrestling.net/index.php/2023/06/03/womens-wrestling-great-beverly-shade-dies/ As for Joe Plater, so far there's only this: https://www.btf-thyroid.org/news/joe-plater A QO I'd say, but it doesn't tell the exact date. I'll keep looking for it, but I realize that the burden of proof is on me, and as long as it's unclear, I cant get points. But I assume Cale Yarborough is in... (?)

Beverly Shade was my alternative pick... ...congratulations!
