"Pablo will go straight through a red light and not even look at all," GX member Ryan Garshell said. "It's up to the driver to stop and if they don't stop, that's it. Somehow he always makes it. It's really magical."
Another crew member, Sean Greene, spoke about his near-misses on the streets of San Francisco. "It's frustrating s--- when you almost die," he told GQ. "It ages you."
Uh huh.

However, it apparently doesn't mature you.

When his career dipped in the 2000s, he attempted to raise his profile by appearing on reality TV shows with disastrous results. On Celebrity Fit Club in 2004 he fell out with his fellow contestants and was demoted from the captaincy of his team; on Celebrity Wife Swap in 2008 he sulked, demanding to be waited on by Samantha Fox, the former Page 3 girl, and refusing to help out in return; and on I’m a Celebrity . . . Get Me Out of Here! in 2011 he left after suffering an allergic reaction to a camel’s toe he had eaten.

I refuse to RTFA. Is she dead or not?
Edit: I also refuse to scroll up.

Reading both articles I think we can conclude Doris Day was alive and well at 96 at 2018-12-12, but died aged 97 at 2019-05-13.
-
From the most recent article I also learned Dick Van Dyke is still alive. Huh.

She's going to die next Sunday?

Fixed. The keys are like, right next to each other.

@PJH 3 1/2 hour binge of Doris Day songs on YT. 88 videos in some guy's playlist, but a few deleted, "not available in your country," or duplicates, so probably about 80 that I listened to. She had a beautiful voice.

@boomzilla As an advanced Firefox user, this makes me very sad. 😾

@boomzilla Wow, born in 2012? I felt like that meme started way earlier, like 2007.

@boomzilla I came in here to post this. Damn !

Perhaps we need a separate "official 2019 'Brits I've never heard of' death pool" thread.
You don't hear us complaining about all the yanks we've never heard of who get mentioned here

Completely overshadowed by the death of Grumpy Cat, Pulitzer Prize winning author Herman Wouk, author of The Caine Mutiny, also died last Friday.

Sometimes better known for this:
Briefly stated, the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect is as follows. You open the newspaper to an article on some subject you know well. In Murray's case, physics. In mine, show business. You read the article and see the journalist has absolutely no understanding of either the facts or the issues. Often, the article is so wrong it actually presents the story backward — reversing cause and effect. I call these the "wet streets cause rain" stories. Paper's full of them.
In any case, you read with exasperation or amusement the multiple errors in a story, and then turn the page to national or international affairs, and read as if the rest of the newspaper was somehow more accurate about Palestine than the baloney you just read. You turn the page, and forget what you know.

@The_Quiet_One I'm sure the former CEO of one of my former employers is in deep mourning right now. He is from Wisconsin and still bleeds Packers green, despite having lived in California for nearly 50 years.

@PJH I'm so, so sorry...

Law & Order: UK
Wherein the constabulary track down people who purchase plastic cutlery without providing proper ID.
Edit: @PJH started a new thread for this; please reply there.

@HardwareGeek In the criminal justice system, people who hurt feelings by laughing at dogs doing a nazi salute and uploading them to the internet are considered especially heinous. The UK has a special task force devoted to finding justice for these victims. These are their stories. DUN DUN.

He’s as ashamed of his family for being famous capitalists as they are of him for being a whiny-ass socialist fairy.
Not sure if i’m ing with that.

RIP Etika. May he react to SSB announcements up in heaven.
