Cobra Commander Posted January 10 Posted January 10 Anita Bryant had one of those "died 3 weeks ago and people only noticed once it hit a newspaper obit page" deaths, so she's technically a 2024 death
odessasteps Posted January 10 Posted January 10 I went to eat lunch today and the waitress didn't realize Jimmy Carter died and the government was off today.

RIPPA Posted March 3 Posted March 3 James Harrison - who is estimated to have saved the lives of 2.4 million babies with his blood donations - has died at the age of 88 Quote James Harrison, an Australian railway clerk who helped save 2.4 million babies by donating the rare antibodies in his blood every two weeks for over 60 years, died Feb. 17 at a nursing home in Umina Beach, a suburb north of Sydney. He was 88. His daughter, Tracey Mellowship, confirmed his death to The Washington Post on Monday. A cause of death was not disclosed. James Christopher Harrison was born Dec. 27, 1936, in the town of Junee, New South Wales. His lifelong dedication to giving blood came after his own hospitalization: He underwent major lung surgery at age 14 and later described waking up in intensive care and discovering he had received extensive blood transfusions. According to Australian Red Cross Lifeblood, which organizes blood donations and distributes plasma to hospitals, Harrison gave blood from 1954, when he became old enough to donate under Australian law, to 2018, when he was advised to stop because of his age. In 1966, scientists discovered that blood plasmas containing Anti-D, an uncommon antibody, could be administered during pregnancy to help prevent hemolytic disease of the newborn (HDN), which can cause serious complications including stillbirth and neonatal death. Soon afterward, medical officials discovered that Mr. Harrison carried unusually high concentrations of Anti-D. “The antibody from his plasma was administered to 2.4 million babies,” Jemma Falkenmire, a spokeswoman for Australian Red Cross Lifeblood, said in an interview Monday, estimating the number of babies whose mothers received the injection while pregnant. “There are so many people walking around with a little bit of James.” Scientists in Australia have used Mr. Harrison’s plasma to manufacture over 3 million doses of the Anti-D immunoglobin injection since 1967, with every ampoule administered in the country containing his donated antibody, according to Lifeblood. Only a minuscule volume is required to prevent HDN in a pregnancy deemed to be at risk. Every year, the Anti-D injection that contains Mr. Harrison’s antibodies is administered in about 17 percent of pregnancies in Australia. His daughter, Mellowship, is among those who received it. “He was relentless. He really wanted to help others,” said Falkenmire, recalling how he hated needles and preferred to be distracted by conversation during a donation. “Having a donor with that amount of antibody was incredibly important for Australia.” His prolific donor history — 1,173 donations — also earned him the moniker “The Man with the Golden Arm.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/obituaries/2025/03/03/james-harrison-australian-blood-donor-golden-arm/ 4
Cobra Commander Posted March 14 Posted March 14 John Feinstein passed away. One of his books is the name of the Golf thread on here (a good walk spoiled) but I guess he’s best known for A Season On The Brink 2
driver Posted March 15 Posted March 15 Learned of him from his appearances on Bob & Tom way back when and loved his book on the punch that ended Rudy Tomjanovich's career.
Curt McGirt Posted March 22 Posted March 22 I was pretty damn shocked when I finally saw When We Were Kings and realized how hated George was then, specifically for that matchup. Walking around with a doberman pinscher... not exactly the best idea in a country ruled by a genocidal dictator. Of course this comes after the lovey-dovey, "aw shucks" good guy persona I'd grown up with. RIP

Cobra Commander Posted April 21 Posted April 21 Pope just died, time for public entities to dump their bad news!

Contentious C Posted April 22 Posted April 22 Biggest annoyance about the Pope dying, besides the overblown degree of wall-to-wall coverage, is that places keep mentioning 'camerlengos' and now I want to play Blood & Wine again...
