Celebrity yoga instructor Sharath Jois dies at 53: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-14072673/celebrity-yoga-guru-sharath-jois-taught-madonna-gwyneth-paltrow-dies-suddenly-aged-53.html Among his clients were Madonna, Gwyneth Paltrow and Sting. He died suddenly while being on tour in Virginia.

Update on Olivia Williams' neuroendocrine pancreatic cancer: https://www.theguardian.com/film/2024/nov/10/watch-out-im-even-less-inhibited-olivia-williams-on-movies-misogyny-and-living-with-cancer They cut out the primary tumour and she has a third of a functioning pancreas left. The problem is that she regularly gets metastasis in the liver, so far only there, and they have to "zap" these again and again.

Indeed, he probably hasnt. And so he lost touch with the people, because he missed them going Trump again. He must be tired and doesn't have another fight in him.

That's a different show: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schitt's_Creek

In my mind, he occupies an adjacent space to Shannen Doherty. I was wondering, is Dawson's Creek the little sister of Beverly Hills 90210? Or was that Melrose Place? Anyway, he's slightly less famous than Doherty IMO. Still threadworthy though, although he should only appear on lists in a couple of years when the cancer comes back as stage 4.

It's stage three: https://abcnews.go.com/GMA/Culture/james-van-der-beek-reveals-diagnosed-colorectal-cancer/story?id=115451273

She's 31 and wants to look like 17.

Bhad Bhabie may have cancer: https://www.tmz.com/2024/11/08/bhad-bhabie-may-have-cancer-danielle-bregoli/

Thread for John Williams, born 1932, not just any composer, but possibly the best-known film composer of all time (Even Morricone barely a tie?). He scored Star Wars, Jaws, Close Encounter of the Third Kind, three Harry Potter movies, Superman, Indiana Jones, Home Alone .. and many more... Sadly, he's been recently hospitalized and was forced to cancel an event: https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-45965645 Note the ominous title: "A Celebration of John Williams In Concert". Concerts for November also cancelled. Also...hey committee!

Hell, maybe Elon Musk has effectively pushed Steve Bannon out of Trump's orbit, so Trump doesn't get his own SA anymore. And there's no coup necessary if Trump wins legitimately.

I was only on the Harris train since the debate, but before that, yes, that's what I thought. Jimmy "has" to die before Trump.

I don't want to spam the death related threads too much, just this once, but Trump's issues don't go away just because he won the vote. His policies, like the tariffs, are still stupid. He made tax cut promises to everyone, got the muslim vote AND the hardcore pro-Israel vote, and so on and on. You kind of hope that Musk and Thiel and whoever is in Trump's orbit, know what they're doing, and maybe even take over while Trump sundowns away. Well, I ALSO made the prediction that THIS thread will reach the 200 pages, something QE 2 didn't 'achieve'. And that prediction is more on the mark. I guess I had too much belief in the American voter.

Yeah, Trump's winning. I hope I'm also wrong in what that means. Or it's not going to be pretty. I don't much care for a harsher immigration policy, I think Europe should do that, too. But there will be collateral damage. Europe will feel it with Russia pretty quickly.

You don't understand. It's not about the electorate as a whole but about its distribution.

You'll only know who to listen to after the fact Edit: Yes, Florida is turning into Magakanda. It sucks up conservatives from other states, ironically making the country as a whole a little more Democratic.

Viola Fletcher has voted, ...zzz.... https://x.com/abbydphillip/status/1853881971966976178

Something interesting from Nevada: https://x.com/ErinBurnett/status/1853873163769196814 Lots of new, young voters. But it's causing issues because young people don't know how to sign their name anymore. Understandable, actually.

Turnout suggests that Harris is obliterating Trump in Michigan and Pennsylvania. She needs one more state. Nevada seems to be going okay. But it's not enough on its own (Nevada + Iowa would work, though, in case Wisconsin doesn't come through). Some people even expressed the idea that Harris could win Florida. But this is something I don't see happening.

He had just put his house on the market: https://robbreport.com/shelter/celebrity-homes/home-depot-co-founder-bernie-marcus-condo-atlanta-1235883658/

Dixville Notch is a little hamlet with 4 registered republicans, and two registered independents. Harris won three out of these. Reminder: In the primaries, Nikki Haley won six out of six votes, meaning Harris won three Haley voters. And while Joe Biden won 5-0 in 2020, two people left the village, three new people moved in.

He's making the rounds now because he predicted Trump's win in 2016. He looks okay on the videos. His Youtube page just got updated. Still, I can't shake the feeling that he'll be dead very suddenly in the not too far future.

Conspiracy theory time... Iowa wasn't exactly on the minds of pollsters this year, and so not many polls were actually conducted. But curiously, within 24 hrs after the Selzer poll, three republican-affiliated polls appeared, showing Trump +7, Trump +8, Trump +9: https://x.com/USA_Polling/status/1853284236112871763 Trump won the state in 2020 by +8, so it looks like these polls show that not much has changed here. Especially the Emerson poll is curious. It was sponsored by "RealClearDefense" and came out basically simultaneous to the Selzer poll. RealClearDefense is an off-shoot of the RealClearPolitics site. It's unclear why a news aggregator blog would want to sponsor a poll. It is becoming increasingly more likely to me that a lot of these polls are fake. It happened in 2022, too, lots of polls predicting a "red wave" that never came. This year, it's even worse - as "normal" pollsters go out of business and journalism has to cut costs. Simon Rosenberg keeps an eye on these "red wave" pollsters on X: https://x.com/SimonWDC/status/1853214212048228543 He mentions some of these outfits that are decidely partisan like InsiderAdvantage. He counts over 70 polls in the last week that are probably narrative-setting polls. Over 50% of all polls! Most notorious of these "we're independent, but actually not" pollsters is, of course, Rasmussen Reports. Mark Mitchell, the Rasmussen Reports CEO has tweeted that unfortunately, Selzer came out too late for them to "prove them wrong": https://x.com/Mark_R_Mitchell/status/1852857348580356348 Because for Republicans, the polls are a partisan issue, another tool in their arsenal to influence elections. It's an "us vs. them" thing. He thinks that the Selzer poll was made on purpose to suppress republican turnout, ignoring that this poll has been around for decades. It's also projection. The republican polling forms try to establish the idea that Trump is ahead by a lot, and if he loses, it can only be because of fraud (the Trump campaign has already started to claim fraud before the votes are actually counted). Especially, the Iowa situation tells me that republican pollsters not only put their thumb on the scale, they probably fake results outright. As a consequence, I believe that the following polling outfits are probably useless: - InsiderAdvantage - Trafalgar - Emerson College - TIPP - Morning Consult - Rasmussen Reports - Atlas Intel - every pollster associated with Tony Fabrizio - American Greatness Edit: - Mitchell Research

Thread for Rudy Giuliani, once called "America's mayor" after 9/11. A former lawyer and mostly successful former mayor of New York, then a failed presidential candidate who then became Donald Trump's personal lawyer and perpetually drunk little devil on Trump's right shoulder. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudy_Giuliani He's 77 years old now, had prostate cancer, suffered a fall in 2017, got COVID in late 2020. Also, he's a perpetually drunk, flatulent mess: https://www.rawstory.com/rudy-giuliani-fart/ "Speaking to MSNBC on Tuesday, Michael Wolff explained that most Americans don't fully realize how far Rudy Giuliani has deteriorated." He's seriously drunk all the time, some memory problems are starting to appear, and his public appearances are getting more and more absurd. And his law license has been revoked. A prime candidate for a quickly approaching end.

I got tired of always thinking about where to put the activists, so here's a thread for them: First entry: Feminist Sheila Michaels, who spread the title "Ms." dead at 78 from leukemia: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/jul/09/sheila-michaels-feminist-helped-change-the-world-with-ms-title-for-women http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-40528950 I guess you can also put your anti-rape campaigners, black lives matter-folks, and Ralph Nader in here. Edit: Link fixed

Gisooo is a fantastic poster and I hope he stays.
