Director James Gunn has been Weinstein’d. (It’s for pedophilia jokes rather than sexual assault, but his career is probably ruined for life)...

It may not just be the tweets, give it a few days and we may be hearing some claims from Baby Groot!

Since no other fucker came back to this, here's his Telegraph obit (paywall etc but counts). Very obitable, but a bit dead now, for points.

Might be worth saying ....

It's only certain articles ("Premium") that are paywalled, and it's worth signing up (as opposed to actually subscribing) to the Telegraph as once you do, you get a few freebies each week which would probably suffice for DL purposes.

Yeah, that was how I found out that Jens C Skou death was mentioned in Boyer’s obituary, for example.

sorry I forgot.

 

Surprised the Guardian haven't picked up on him as they did a piece on his 90th birthday.

 

Speaking of which, his one surviving sibling, Avrion , is 90, and again a nap to obit.

I thought that shite wasn’t allowed (DDP).  Thought you needed a proper dedicated headline.  Huh....  oh well guess I’m wrong.  Could have sworn this discussion took place right here on these pages somewhere.

Washington Post are kind of shit in that regard, aren’t they? They don’t even tell you how many free articles you have per month unlike the NYT. 

Here’s a better link hopefully.

Theme team possibility - The Dykes of Death

Honestly would love to have one of them as a pick for my B Team next year, if B teams are still allowed next year...

I hope not.  B teams are for people that can’t make a decision.  Make a decision and have some testicular fortitude ffs.  I don’t even know how that horseshit got started.  You’re supposed to have a main team and if you like, up to two THEME teams.  ‘People who didn’t make my main team’ isn’t a theme, unless you’re a coward.  Make a decision, be a man/woman, and hope for the best.

Stepped down, trod on his larynx, revised his optimism.

Long-read on the McDonalds Monopoly fraud operation of the late 90s here reveals that the man behind it, Jerome Jacobson, is currently in "poor health". He is a long-time MS sufferer as well.
