Crumbs, the world's fattest cat, has died at the diet centre: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14009191/Worlds-fattest-cat-weighed-died-Crumbs.html

It's not the Robert Fisk who died in 2020, but a different one: https://www.express.co.uk/journalist/123272/Robert-Fisk About Valentine-Morton: That's a shame. If allowed, I would just use the most common name, Frankie Valli, as replacement.

1. Larisa Golubkina 2. Georg Koch 3. Jimmy Carter 4. Paul Biya 5. Janey Godley 6. Kaiti Grey 7. Oliviero Toscani 8. James Baker (Australian punk) 9. Joe Doering 10. Steve McMichael 11. Roberta Flack 12. Sean Wallace (coach) 13. Noam Chomsky 14. Lord Henry Mountcharles 15. Jamal Yunos 16. Eleonora Giorgi 17. Chuwit Kamolvisit 18. Rick "Black Bart" Harris 19. Tom Brokaw 20. Daniel Barenboim Subs: Steve McCoy Joshua Ray Walker Johnnie Walker Two early losses, this is the remaining team.

Okay, "DS Jamal Yunos" is his facebook profile. After 8 months of sharing resort advertising exclusively, Yunos posted on Oct 8th that "Allah has given him back health". He's recently been showing his face, too, so he's actually not hospitalised, bed-ridden, and such. In fact, the 'fraud' factor with him probably has to be pretty high now.

I see, thanks, yes, the wiki page for that club says they play in the West Scotland League, not the "real" Scotland league, so it's not the fourth tier, but the fourth tier of the fifth tier, so to say.

I assume a player in the fourth tier of Scottish football is ineligible for a lot of pools, but: https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/c14lzn2d21ro

Yes, it does make sense internally. The internet, of course, is still having a laugh. Apparently, Kurt Cobain is her version of "back in Vietnam...". Now that Cobain has been dead for 30 years, it comes across as a little bizarre. But after all, 79 is old. And at that age, you don't update your references anymore, I guess.

Indeed.

He's harvesting but never cultivated?

Helen Mirren thinks it's sad that Kurt Cobain died before he could see himself being tracked by GPS systems: https://variety.com/2024/music/news/helen-mirren-kurt-cobain-gps-1236190259/ She's always had a bit of a cooky side to her. Makes me wonder when it crosses over into dementia territory. I almost made a thread for her but then I realized that I had conflated her with Judi Dench in my mind. Helen Mirren, at 79, might still be slightly too young for a thread, though she's worthy of it.

Well.... she didn't. Even though there are tons of "yahoo" articles on her now, they don't work in the uk.news version.

PA will go Harris. If there's a "blue wall" state that flips, it's Wisconsin.

Polling is in a terrible state, currently. The pollsters are in a panic because they missed Trump's win in 2016, overstimated Biden in 2020, and then underestimated blue votes in 2022. Republicans have also flooded the zone with affiliated outfits. They did it in 2022, too. They predicted a "red wave" when in fact, it was a small blue wave. In a way, the polling this year is very useless. It's pretty 50:50 anyway, and no serious pollster wants to be wrong again. I think Harris takes it. I see 2012, 2016 and 2022 in here. 2012 because Harris is like Obama's 2nd term and Trump is now as much establishment as Romney back then. You also have high engagement from women and new demographics that are hard to poll - which is why the polls missed Arizona and Georgia going blue pretty easily with governors and senators. But then Republicans are learning to vote early. So Nevada, for example, looks good for them. But you also have North Carolina, where the Republican candidate for governor there is so terrible that he may take Trump down with him. Structurally, Harris is closer to the win by one state in my opinion. That's not much at all. I suspect that election day voting however will give a boost to Harris.

It's Madison Square Garden because of Nazis: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1939_Nazi_rally_at_Madison_Square_Garden That's Stephen Miller's idea.

New scans this week, nothing happening: https://x.com/THEJamesWhale/status/1848806367882092911

Yes, the US yahoo link doesnt work. NPR just picked up her death though. That could also work for yahoo. Yahoo seems to be restricting the convertability of the local US obits, but national ones, ESPN, Reuters, etc... still work. I think she'll obit today.

Apparently she sent a letter to Wes Streeting? Very furious, but also, still very alive.

Julia Hawkins has died at 108: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/23/sports/julia-hawkins-dead.html

Heh.... I was expecting it. She was the only one among the top 4 that did not seem like she could go on for some more.

Elton John, Joni Mitchell, Chappell Roan and other artists singing backstage: https://x.com/olliebedumb/status/1848844815129014683 Joni Mitchell is fine, seems better than a year ago. Elton will be dead before her. I do wonder if he reaches 80. (I wondered that about Pelé too, but was off by 3 years)

He's planning two tours for next year, when he turns 85: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-13980021/Cliff-Richard-set-tour-celebrate-turning-85-Gen-Z-fans-thrilled.html

@La Faucheuse Well.. Elizabeth Francis is the first faller from my submitted team for the next round. I still have four subs left, and Joe Doering is now in. Edit: Actually, Cullen Talton is also dead, so I have three subs left and Jamal Yunos is now in as well. https://www.fox5atlanta.com/news/americas-longest-serving-sheriff-dies-92-houston-county-georgia

Power pop singer songwriter Matthew Sweet suffers a debilitating stroke: https://variety.com/2024/music/news/matthew-sweet-stroke-tour-gofundme-1236187225/

Yes, but not from cancer, but from the 16 years in prison.

I kind of hope he stays alive for a little while....
