    Doyle Brunson is playing in the new high stakes poker season.

    Clearly he is still mentally all there, he's keeping up with the table banter very well. Still playing pretty solid poker too. If I had a personal list of immortals, he would probably be near the top after all his cancers and other health problems.

    I highly doubt this. Not sure why that take is getting so popular.

     

    There are plenty of other power hungry people in Russia, taking out Putin only creates a power vacuum within a nuclear power...

    The man is also getting up in age, I don't see him keeping an iron grip longer than another decade (likely less). Part of his power comes from his appearance and behavior. It is more likely he hand-picks a successor, while still making decisions behind closed doors.

     

    At first I thought this invasion is some sort of strategic move for resources, but the more I look into it, it seems like Putin's personal mission based on rather unsound ideology. He has lately been even more isolated than normally due to covid precautions. If he has actually gone a bit mad, there should come a time when the oligarchs who gave him the power, will take it away - and this might be violent. So in conclusion, if he is taken out, it will be by one of those power hungry people. IMO history has shown that they are not particularly worried about power vacuums.

     

    Anyway, it's still a long time until deathlist 2023 and things will develop a lot. I feel that if this invasion ends up being a failure he might not even see 2023.

    It’s sad to see a topic celebrating such psychedelic oddballs as Roky, Syd, Beefheart and Copey should be reduced to mentioning… a bloke from Foreigner. 

     

    Perhaps it would be more fitting in the prog thread, but the "bloke from Foreigner" was a founding member of King Crimson. He also wrote my favourite song from the debut album:

    After lurking for a good while, I thought I'd say hi too. After keeping an eye on the main deathlist for a couple of years, I discovered the forums. I didn't have high expectations, but as it turns out, there are very few forums with a "signal-to-noise" ratio as good as this. Every day I'm getting educated on gay porn stars and african despots alike while getting my morbid deathlist kicks. At the moment I feel very unprepared to contribute anything of substance, but maybe one day...
