If he keeps this up post-inauguration he will cause a flurry of diplomatic incidents. It's troublesome enough behaving like this as an influential billionaire. But as a member of a government telling the governments of [supposed] allies how to run their country is a recipe for trouble.

Isn't bird flu the one humans can only catch if you dry out an infected carcass and sniff it? As Andy Parsons once said, "If you're into that kind of weird shit, you deserve exactly what's coming for you."

Not the best start to the year for Musk or Trump: a cybertruck has exploded outside Trump's Vegas hotel: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cz7qd97eyp0o This photo that's doing the rounds has been described as the perfect metaphor for the incoming administration:

Whenever Murdoch's funeral is, the burial will be very difficult for everyone there, because they'll be a long line of politicians (across a large part of the political spectrum) busy trying to break into the coffin to kiss his arse.

The only explanation I can think of is he's changed his name to Kekius Maximus because he has a Dickius Minimus.

Has been there a case before of a Deathlist candidate in a given year dying off the radar years earlier?

At a minimum I expect a Rolf Harris-style aftermath: news of death kept private until the funeral has passed.

Gone for Le Pen - thinking he, Chomsky and/or Rantzen have been drawing it out but can only do so for so long.

Or alternatively, she could have a "tragic" accident involving a window.

Skinner's made quite the ascent over the last 3 lists: 41st in 2023, 12th in 2024 and now 4th this year. Intel on his reported dementia must be quite compelling.

"Should the committee be replaced with AI? Time will tell if DeathList 2025 signals a return to form and can Make DeathList Great Again!" Lol'd at this bit in the summary.

Harvey Weinstein - Sex Offender Stuart Hall - Sex Offender No mucking about with the descriptions here. Murdoch will also be a widely welcomed hit I reckon on top of these two, should they occur this year. Also interesting to see Assad's wife go straight into this list off the back of her latest health news.

Here's my entry: 1) Paul Biya (assuming he's not the subject of a Weekend at Biya's cover-up) 2) Pope Francis 3) Mahmoud Abbas 4) Jean-Marie Le Pen 5) Douglas Hurd 6) Ayatollah Ali Khamenei 7) Mitch McConnell 8) Chuck Grassley 9) Raul Castro 10) Hu Jintao

He reminds me of this Yes Minister sketch: "Bernard, wanted in the communications room, a Mr John Walker." "Johnnie Walker?" "Yes from the Scotch office. Sorry, Scottish Office."

You've put Chomsky down twice.

Busy hiding the evidence and coming up with an alibi?

"Breaking News, the Met Office have issued a weather warning for strong winds this week ahead. The reported source is the servers of the Deathlist forum as everyone breathes out simultaneously."

Sidney Cooke, Harvey Weinstein and Stuart Hall would all be prolific names whose deaths would all be universally welcomed and new blood for Deathlist.

Corrected, thank you.

The BBC article about the Pope's latest message includes the image below. If that's an up to date image he's not looking well in it:

Someone once discovered that "Nigel Farage's Reform party" is an anagram for "Pale arsey manfrog grifter"

As I've said before, if I were in the situation Schumacher appears to be in, I'd have preferred to die. Not even all the money in the world can buy miracles.
