Not the headline with "Rupert Murdoch" and "at 92" I was hoping for.

I never imagined I would be so glad to see so many people shuffle off. I guess that's getting older for ya.

There's an aphorism that science progresses one funeral at a time, but I wonder if the same could be said of culture.

[-] snownyte@kbin.social 59 points 6 months ago

This world is bullshit!

Akira Toriyama has recently died at 68 and here's this corrupt media mogul shithead at 92 doing this.

DIE ALREADY!!

[-] Pons_Aelius@kbin.social 22 points 6 months ago

DIE ALREADY!!

I hate to tell your this but his mother lived to 106...

The absolute worst thing about Rupert Murdoch is that his spawn are worse than he is.

[-] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 57 points 6 months ago

Akira Toriyama kicks the bucket but this asshole is not only still kicking, but remarried at 92? Cruel fucking world.

[-] USSEthernet@startrek.website 5 points 6 months ago

Fucking right

[-] ABCDE@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

:( Hadn't heard about Toriyama, and thought he must be older.

Why won't the goddamn ghoul die? Its dessicated husk is barely human to begin with.

[-] threeduck@aussie.zone 4 points 6 months ago

Just gives me more opportunity to save up lots and lots of piss

[-] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 2 points 6 months ago

Explosive diarrhea is a far better idea.

You ever read about how in pre-Renaissance Europe marriages were arranged between nobility not for reason of love or romantic feelings between the two people but for purely political reasons? Just wondering.

[-] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 7 points 6 months ago

I mean… they are the landed gentry.

[-] 8ender@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago

Yeah this is starting to feel like some feudal shit

[-] TrippaSnippa@aussie.zone 21 points 6 months ago

God damn it, that headline got my hopes up for a second.

[-] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 6 points 6 months ago

I feel your pain. I too was excited for a moment.

[-] jwt@programming.dev 3 points 6 months ago

No shit! Even when I was at "for the 6th" time, I somehow was deeply invested in reading he "engaged in dying for the 6th time".

[-] No_Eponym@lemmy.ca 17 points 6 months ago

How connected is the new fiancée to the FSB?

[-] Bakkoda@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 months ago

I'm not sure you wanna know the answer to that.

[-] DontMakeMoreBabies@kbin.social 12 points 6 months ago

Why won't he fucking die already.

[-] tsonfeir@lemm.ee 2 points 6 months ago

Vampires

[-] PrincessLeiasCat@sh.itjust.works 8 points 6 months ago

This is the one, guys! This is it!

[-] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago

Skeksis. Got to steal the life force from these women to survive.

[-] xc2215x@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago

She wants his money.

[-] mozz@mbin.grits.dev 16 points 6 months ago

Such a cynical take

I'm sure she's motivated purely by his 92-year-old dick and his beautiful soul

[-] DogPeePoo@lemm.ee 5 points 6 months ago

Fucking gross

[-] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 months ago

Every time I see this dude he looks a little more like junior soprano
