Deplatforming has generally worked to a point (KHopkins, Milo) but will be interesting to see if it works on the Donald or simply fuels his rabid lot up even more...

Also worth noting that the Centrist (at best) cabinet about to take office seem fixed on their "take the high road and move forward" mantra..... so the chances of absolutely nothing coming of the Donald and his MAGA lot's actions are high, annoyingly.

I can imagine

That's true, but we don't know the number of people under 60 that managed to win the fight against the virus.....but came out of it with a dicky lung. I know that there's virtually zero chance of death for my demographic, but that's not the only risk of the virus for me to be arsed about.

......Or that the covid speculation has, again, gotten carried away and is set to end in an anti-climax

A few of my friends work for a large finance firm who have discontinued the lease on their city centre office building. The staff are split 50/50 on loving or hating the idea, I can't see a downside personally but some people do really get a buzz from the social parts of work (shudder). As for hedonism... I bloody hope so. I've not enjoyed my government mandated celibacy one bit.

He was the first person to ever block me on twitter.

A while ago I would have insisted that there's no way "they" would be brazen enough to bump her off, and if they did there's no way they'd get away with it. Now though.... I'm pretty certain that news moves on from things so quickly that Ghislaine dying would amount to just a fun couple of weeks on the forums before a new story takes our eye!

My brother bought me this book about graveyards and tombs in a "I saw this and thought of you" way. I thought I'd mention it here as I'm sure being a DL forum lurker and a Taphophile/Tombstone Tourist goes hand in hand for more people than just me. It's a nice easy read, some interesting anecdotes etc.

I hate when you can just tell somebody edited/authored MOST of their own Wikipedia page. His is basically a sales pitch for his bloody books. "Dignam recounted his story of drug addiction in his autobiography, This is Christy Dignam, co-written by journalist Neil Fetherstonhaugh and published by Merlin Publishing.[3] One reviewer said it "should be required reading for anyone hovering on the edges of the drug culture." "He deals with the intersections of his personal and professional lives in the autobiography (with Damian Corless) 'My Crazy World' published worldwide by Simon And Schuster in September 2019"

Could I change the o's in my name to 0's please. So j0neseur0 instead. Just makes my DL forum presence less googleable.

I'd forgotten this! I've just skimmed the interview on youtube but can't find it for the life of me. Would love to cringe through that again if anybody finds it.

There's some "national treasures" that I just do not understand. She never comes across great for me, one of those channel-their-own-unhappiness-in-to-being-an-arse types (in my opinion )

Will presumably fall under the lockdown funeral restrictions - any other year Babs would have had a huge turnout of famous mourners (the kind that provides a load of photos to determine if any of them should be considered for the list)

There's a thread about all alumni of that Real Marigold Hotel programme (of which, including Lionel, you could probably find a whole DDP team's worth of candidates) P.S. I only mean to point it out as a place that will have Lionel news already available, not being a thread Nazi.

Sorry to go very off topic but a similar list could be made with the Bo Selecta - Proper Crimbo video. Jade Goody & Caroline Flack are both in the video (and Michael Jackson-ish if you include the masks). Surprisingly, a Christmas single made two decades after Band Aid has almost the same death rate. Here's the video

ya got me, I'm converted !

My money's on President Tucker Carlson 2024

The Donald is really losing it on twitter, dog whistles and fully laying the groundwork for conspiracies to goad his maga lot... 4 years in and we're a bit numb to it but this is really crazy!

You *could* say that them counting the absentee ballotts last explains that as it's predominantly dems that vote that way, but still a bit fish that it's ALL new votes. Even if it's completely accurate, or maybe just human error on the graph makers part whatever, it's 100% going to be conspiracy fodder for Trump and his lot

Biden will live longer but have a terrible quality of life for his final years. Trump will physically explode in a whirlwind of vices

I'll eat my hat if sausage fingers manages that!

I had no idea this was an actual phenomenon but happy to learn of it

A reserved "No More" with the willingness to be proven wrong.

Neither is Keir Starmer IMO
