Former US representative of Oregon, Elizabeth Furse dead of a fall at 84: https://www.oregonlive.com/politics/2021/04/former-oregon-congresswoman-elizabeth-furse-has-died.html She was born in the British colony of Kenya, grew up in South Africa, and married a US citizen. Then she became the first naturalized American to win a seat in Congress. Interesting.

Mourinho sacked: https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/56799400 And it gets less important each time.

Neat, apparently I'm the first one with 5 hits now. In the long run, though, having picked Kane Tanaka and Soeur André (the Sarah Knauss and Jeanne Calment of the 2020s) might hurt me.

Apparently an unmentioned name on the forum, so far, Derek Granger, veteran British TV producer of the Golden Age. He's about to turn 100 and the Guardian has an interview with him: https://www.theguardian.com/stage/2021/apr/19/olivier-was-jealous-of-me-tv-drama-pioneer-derek-granger-at-100 Seems fine so far, but that could change quickly.

The usual Yahoo obit is there, though others should follow soon: https://uk.news.yahoo.com/entertainment/survivor-sunday-burquest-dead-cancer-185523000.html

I'm watching that new Chicago Seven movie right now. It's a court movie... Two of the Chicago Seven are still alive, John Froines and Lee Weiner. Plus, the black 8th guy, Bobby Seale.

He barely survived Adobe Flash.

BREAKING NEWS... it's actually 109.741 complaints: https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-56756296 But it's really difficult with you people: https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-56746250

Oh, possibly fellow Brighton drag queen and contestant on season two Joe Black? https://www.theargus.co.uk/news/18988546.top-drag-queen-brings-1920s-glamour-bbc/ Who had a short memorable spell on the show, btw. And is actually a prominent artist outside of the show as well.

That would have been the QO https://uk.news.yahoo.com/adventures-rin-tin-tin-star-200412378.html List of the missed, and a missed chance to have the alphabetically first hit ever.

21st out of 30. I think this might be my worst result in a deadpool ever.

Someone was faster...but here's his thread. He's dead: https://www.knopnews2.com/2021/04/14/ponzi-schemer-bernie-madoff-has-died-in-a-federal-prison/

John Williamson, British-born economist who coined the term "Washington Consensus" has died at 83: https://www.bloombergquint.com/gadfly/john-williamson-s-washington-consensus-left-a-bitter-legacy-in-asia The Washington Consensus was the standard neoliberal formula used by our global overlords (World Bank, OECD, and the like) to reform the economies of developing countries, especially in Latin America and Asia. The general guidelines then became a bit of a free-market gospel that created a lot of resentment in the afflicted countries, because often they actually made them wholly dependent on new credit, which they received in exchange for market-radical reforms.

It's excessive coverage all the way down.

So, is all the recent unrest in Northern Ireland the kind of conflict that had been predicted as a consequence of Brexit? If so, well, that was a good prediction. I am watching it quite closely, because I hope to get a certain DDP qualifying obit out of it. But apparently, it's not happening.

Doesn't he need to go into quarantine? I mean, Meghan is probably a high risk area.

Jean-Louis Trintignant recently had a surprise appearance at the Cesar: https://www.bfmtv.com/people/cesar-2021-jean-louis-trintignant-fait-une-emouvante-apparition-surprise_AN-202103120486.html Now that Philip is gone, he might take over the no 1 spot in "ghoul like appearance":
