for those curious, last update on twitter says he was back in hospital (re-tweeted by his brother Michael) on December 19. can’t seem to find any updates on his condition since then, so make of this news what you will.

if armed rioters braking into the U.S. capitol and chanting to murder the vice president can easily be dismissed as “news just being sensationalist”, I’m (legit) curious how far this would need to go to get him/her to stop and say “hold up, this doesn’t seem right”.

we call that “pulling a Bracknell”

Spinks has reportedly been in hospital since the 19th, he gets my vote

former canadian PM Brian Mulroney had emergency surgery recently. we can treat 2021 as an opportunity to see how he’s coming along. he’ll be 82 in march similar with Eric Carle (“The Very Hungry Caterpillar” author) who was in hospital earlier this year for unspecified reasons, but i’m guessing is okay (no update on his website but the previous message about his hospital stay has been removed). turns 92 in june. June Lockhart: not sure how obit-worthy she is in the UK, but will be 96 this year. seems to have been active right up until the pandemic so didn’t think it was worth putting forth to the committee as a 2021 contender. (you’re welcome for offering unique picks)

Spinks (he’s been [reportedly] in the hospital since the 19th. we’ll see if he can see the year out)

David Crosby.

*removed from list and dies January 2nd*

Just had undisclosed emergency surgery, but is resting at home and should make a full recovery.

i hate to disrupt all the trump talk, but if I may discuss biden for a moment: people suspect that his declining health will lead to him passing before he completes his presidency, but does anyone else suspect a strong likelihood of assassination?

Any health updates for Bill Gates’ step-mum?

Philip the greek, as a Xmas present. [edit] wow, seems Bob Dole was finally able to win the popular vote

Agreed. The supply of centenarians has been exhausted by DL2020, so at least one 100+ entry should be included next year. (And no, I'm not considering Prince Philip as a contender for the 100+ category next year, as he'll surely not make it to the new year)

desmond tutu is my guess guess

prince phil, i’m thinking around christmas
