    This past few week has been good for overdue deaths of bad people. Rolf Harris, Pat Robertson, Ted Kaczynski and now Silvio

    And some obvious misses for DL!

    And she worked with Ernst Jandl, one of the main experimental poets, for nearly a half-century until his death in 2000.

    The funeral of Friederike Mayröcker was public and I attended it. I was unfamiliar with her work, but am working on a project regarding Vienna's Central Cemetery and considered it research :reading-glasses:. Most surprising was the choice of music: instead of hymns, the songs that were played included Procul Harum's "Whiter Shade of Pale" and Louis Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World" :wub: She is buried with her partner, Ernst Jandl. They lived in the same apartment complex but with two separate apartments... I think we can learn a lot from this!

    Austria's numbers are also going up... presumably because in order to get certain services (like getting your hair cut) you have to have a 48 hour Covid test. More people are getting tested, so more cases are being caught.  But a further consequence is that the people who test negative are allegedly going out to party like it's 1999 and getting infected that way... at least they look good doing it! :blink:

    Sigh. John Lennon and Paul McCartney's complete falling out (which started before Yoko appeared on the scene) and George Harrisons inability to take more of their shit split up the Beatles. Not anyone else.

    That's what the link in the former post was meant to point out. :angel:

    Not that I think he'll do it, but is there anything to stop Trump jumping on a private jet and flying off to somewhere that has no extradition treaty with the US? I imagine there are still a few regimes that would welcome him and his money. Maybe not his family though.

    Historian Timothy Snyder thinks that Trump will be forced to live outside of the US to avoid the consequences of his sketchy dealings. (Ca. 34 min)
