Let's hope it doesn't this long for them to realize\acknowledge that the authoritarian restrictions became indefensible back in late April\early May, when it became clear they do more harm than good.

When you feel hopeless, hurt or suicidal, getting told to "get help" or "talk to someone" (in other words, having to actively initiate a conversation with some stranger who doesn't really care about you specifically) is of very little help. Just an observation.

We'll miss you, Vera why couldn't it have been Philip instead?

The most important factor, by far, is genetics... since you're a man, you're already at a major disadvantage.

This sounds a lot like Bush Sr. spending one final summer in Maine

What would be the point? She's digging her own grave as far as public opinion is concerned By the time she starts trying to cause real problems, everyone (including Harry) will have moved on.

Emma Morano looked happier and healthier at 117, but even she couldn't make it to 118. I do think we'll have at least one 118 or even 119 year old in the 2020's, but it feels very unlikely Kane Tanaka will be the one to break that barrier again. You can really tell she lost a lot of her energy and freedom of movement these past few months. She just looks really good to us in comparison to the two previous Japanese record holders, who were both extremely frail and it's a wonder they got as far as they did. But once a supercentenarian starts deteriorating, even a strong one like her...

Carleton Carpenter

Pretty good list overall. RBG debuting at the right moment. The only disappointing drop is Gorbachev - he's very unlikely to live to be 90\91.

Wonder if they'll be brave enough to not pick Queen Elizabeth

Going for Bob Dole again

I'm so used to picking Bush Sr. will have to go with Bob Dole this time.

One of my favorite songs from Latvia. RIP

Not giving up on Bush Sr.
