https://www.mk.ru/incident/2024/01/12/stalo-izvestno-o-kriticheskom-sostoyanii-sbitogo-avtomobilem-lva-rubinshteyna.html still in a coma.

https://www.romaniatv.net/ion-iliescu-are-probleme-de-sanatate-medicul-mircea-beuran-a-ajuns-de-urgenta-la-locuinta-fostului-presedinte_8036861.html Not dead, but his conditions continue to worsen or at least not be good. The latest news about him dates back to September when he was taken to hospital for check-up routine without hospitalization, but yesterday a doctor was photographed bringing him various assistance and control tools. Apparently he needs constant health care.

I think he is still in hospital from his previous hospitalization, it’s not a new one. Anyway, I don’t think he has much time left.

Ed Asner is on the masterlist instead of Black Bart.

PM'd, but to make things easier I'll post my team here too. 17/50. 1. Jimmy Carter (JOKER) 6. Ethel Kennedy 7. Cleo Laine 9. Noam Chomsky 12. Dennis Skinner 13. Nigel Starmer-Smith 14. James Whale 15. Glynis Johns - #1 17. Joanne Woodward 20. Derek Draper - #2 25. Denis Law 29. Linda Nolan 33. Willie Nelson 35. Esther Rantzen 43. Imelda Marcos 46. Sonny Rollins 49. Franz Beckenbauer - #3

I think it’s one of the best lists of recent years, at least apparently (for example, last year’s list I didn’t like and instead it was excellent). Only one question: why Barenboim and not Michael Tilson Thomas?

sorry! Noam Chomsky in, please
