Again, feel free to check your list at any time and complain to me in the thread if your score looks wrong. I emphasize, complain in this thread, not in a private message: that will make it much easier for me to find your list from December.
my score, at zero, looks wrong to me, so I guess I need to complain to eschereal about that
Anyone making notes for next year already might want to know that Lucy Davis, who was on the British version of The Office and played Diane in Shaun of the Dead, has announced that she has incurable stage 4 breast cancer, and it’s spread into her spine, rib, and hip.
Oh no. That’s a shame. She’s a very funny actress. Her Dad is popular UK comedian Jasper Carrot.
Oh I loved all the actors in Shaun of the Dead.
You’re not playing right. 
Nick Frost will be seen again playing Hagrid in the new Harry Potter films. I’ve seen him in several things and I sometimes worry about his weight and his health. I hope he is staying healthy.
I know. I suppose I should listen to the 2020 champion for pointers.
This early in the season, I don’t mind sharing. Once Halloween hits, I keep everything quiet.
Social Media Influencer Mina Chan has taken her own life while live-streaming. She was 25.
My working list has 14 names on it. Not counting this year’s survivors.
"The internet personality’s family described her as “deeply hurt” as a result of the “critical comments” she received on social media.
“I hope that more people will consider how everything they post — words, photos, videos, etc. — is perceived by others,” the post continued."
I’m sorry, but perhaps she should have heeded that advice herself.
I’ll admit I never followed Mina Chen. Did she post content that was critical of other people?
I don’t know, but her live suicide probably wasn’t a great thing for her viewers.
Okay, I get it.
I got a Facebook post from a friend about the most awful people in the current administration. It was slightly dated as it still had Bill Barr as attorney general, so I have changed the list slightly. I made Melania an alternate for my next year’s list instead of being in the thirteen. So feel free to steal from this, or copy and paste, when deliberating for next year.

For 2026 my list was Topekans, or folks born here. None of them has done me the favor of giving me points, so in 2027 I will submit the list above and remove the magical protection the others have had.
Why on Earth would we want to give them the gift of immortality?
I didn’t think of it that way. You may be right. But maybe just for once I would have a good year. The most I ever got in one year was two deaths I think, and those were both names I liked. The only award I ever got was for the Final Hours award, and Benazir Bhutto gave me the only points I got that year. And think of it this way, if none of them shuffle off in 2027 I could change the list for the year after that, and voila!
