Also, those 2 were really top notch people, so in the interest of balance, it would need to be a real shitbag...

    He’s a symptom, not the disease.

    I want to see him and his corrupt family rotting the rest of their lives in a prison.

    I'd rather see him in prison than dead. But what I want more than anything is for him to be out of power as soon as possible, and a sudden death from natural causes would be the fastest, easiest way out for us at this point.

    Sorry but I think Hayden Panettiere was the first of this round of 3

    What a fucked up way for me to find out..that Hayden Panettiere was actually 80 😛

    Seriously, though, this one caught me by surprise for sure!

    She was only 36 and, from what little I'd seen of her, she appeared exceptionally wholesome, healthy, and happy as far as I could tell. Reading her Wikipedia after the fact, it turns out I couldn't be much more wrong ☹️

    Again, I'm not sure what has you all convinced that the rule of three for celebrity deaths has anything to do with age - it's just about celebrity.

    At any rate, yes Hayden's death was particularly surprising - but these things happen. Life is a fleeting thing.

    I wasn't agreeing to that (highly specious) hypothesis, just found it funny to pretend that anyone could have mistaken Panettiere for an octogenarian 😁

    Correct.

    do you assume that everyone wants to look up people's birthyear dates or do you just assume that everyone has encyclopedic knowledge of them? Sometimes, it's just convenient to see the answer to the question you're thinking in the comments without having to go looking it up.

    But go off trying to sound smug and smart. You're very very cool and everyone thinks you're super witty.

    It's so upsetting how just yesterday I had my library on shuffle and, out of tens of thousands of tracks, it played "Death of Optimus Prime" on the exact day he died.

    the universe decided to give you some negative frisson. it's not often we get it.

    my way to cope with those is to find a quiet spot to sit and just hold the feeling as long as it will last. i think that's because i associate music with positive frisson (you know the way the chords move under the notes that it makes you almost want to weep. it's almost orgasmic when it's done well. at least i hope you know that way. come to one of my gigs or rehearsals (giggity) we try to provide the experience of touching the sacred through song.

    wait shit i don't think i'm ready to dox myself yet. lemme ask the wife.

    Just checking a list of notable people born in 1946 ...

    George W Bush and Bill Clinton were both born in '46.

    Holy shit! Timothy Dalton is 80! When did that happen?!

    Hmm ... better not be Stallone. He promised us another season of Tulsa King.

    Aw, who am I kidding? I want it to be everyone's favourite orange cockbag as much as anyone! Thank you for your attention to this matter!

    That would be amazing. But he'll live forever. He's multiple decades older than me and somehow he'll still be kicking when I drop off, I'm sure. Because the universe is an asshole.
