According to Russia.... Deutsche Welle cites Indonesian sources. I think there are lots of possibilities here. Maybe Lavrov doesn't want to return to Russia? He's a clever guy, and not as detached from reality as Putin.

It's still unclear what it actually was. I sometimes wonder why people wouldn't tell, especially since it was a long health fight.

Jonnie Irwin, host of two shows, Escape to the Country and A Place in the Sun, has lung cancer: https://www.hellomagazine.com/celebrities/20221113156678/jonnie-irwin-terminally-ill-cancer-exclusive/

Last August Gunther Von Hagens plastinated his father who reached 106 years of age: https://www.bz-berlin.de/berlin/gunther-von-hagens-plastiniert-seinen-vater Gunther himself has trouble speaking but is doing well enough.

Remember him? He just defeated the West Nile virus: https://www.ktiv.com/2022/11/11/tim-johnson-wins-battle-against-west-nile-virus/

Oh, that's why the name rings a bell... Yahoo should have something in an hour or so.

As soon as Russia loses 1 squaremeter of land, meaning Russia proper and any of the occupied lands pre-war (Crimea, Abkhasia, South Ossetia), he'll have to get removed.

Alright, let's get it done. First hit was missed in the previous update, Los Angeles writer Mike Davis who was a replacement hit for some, but interestingly, some people missed out. Leslie Phillips was - finally - a hit for many - end of an era, isn't it? Yorkshire Banker does indeed score with the unique hit of Aaron Carter. At least this one time the risk of picking a risky young person with a troubled lifestyle paid off. Maybe doing porn could have saved him. And finally, beloved soap actor Bill Treacher completes the quartet. Most interesting change of the scoreboard is An Fear Beag (tipped by me to win) advancing to the no. 2 slot because of the safe replacement pick Mike Davis, while other teams might have gone for, say, John Cannan, who was a surprisingly unreliable person for being on their deathbed. But Banana has a 49-point advantage still. Will it be enough?

I guess he can't really say that he's ill because he's under this "wellness nutrition" contract. A little embarassing if it doesn't really work.

236 hits in the game. Tom Owen is no. 237. Father Smurf could be no. 238. We still have no Al-Qaeda confirmation of al-Zawahiri's death, do we? It would have to be spectacular Decembre to beat the record. And November needs to deliver some more. Possible, but maybe only a probability of, say, 30%?

Very nice, yes, all "Alternative Nobel Prize" winners do obit.

Yeah, I didn't know that life peers are now in the vast majority. I thought they were the exception. Two weeks ago, I watched a video on Canada's upper chamber. The House of Lords now reminds me of this.

Oh, that's why my search couldn't find him (I did search!). I'm not going to lie... the whole House of Lords thing is a little obscure for me.

Lord Cheltenham, a peer for the Liberals has died at 74: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-gloucestershire-63597057 He had previously survived an attack with a samurai sword.

Russia is chaotically retreating from Cherson right now. It's apparently a bloodbath. Things are moving quickly again now after Ukraine built a lot of pressure over weeks and weeks.

Iggy Pop announces new album....just like David Bowie! https://guitar.com/news/music-news/iggy-pop-new-album-every-loser-punk-frenzy/

Flimsy deadpooling reasoning no. 3573: I think Jimmy will want to die while a Democrat is president so that he gets an adequate send-off.

Nooooo!!!

Civil rights activist in Communist East Germany, Werner Schulz has died at 72 after collapsing at a political event: https://www.spiegel.de/politik/deutschland/werner-schulz-frueherer-ddr-buergerrechtler-ist-tot-a-0487efbb-b7cb-44dc-97ff-a137173b7654 He later became an MEP for the Greens.

Theologist with pancreatic cancer Tim Keller goes viral by asking the important stuff:

Norman Lear endorsing an LA mayoral candidate:

Deathray used to pick him in everything, probably still does when he can. Also the only instance I've ever heard the word psephologist.

After 5 deaths, I gave up on Alan Greenspan and switched to Nigel Starmer-Smith. I need the points.

Well, we're there now. Slightly better might mean another hit, but I kind of expect more now.
