Condemned Iranian woman queuing for gallows dies of heart failure after witnessing hanging of sixteen others. Lifeless body strung up anyway.

I can't help wondering what a proper pandemic with a much higher fatality rate than covid would have done for our fragile national psyche. Ten million dead instead of a hundred thousand would put a different complexion on things and traffic congestion might ease as well. Also 2021 is going to be a vintage year for raves.

A real shame. Anne Feeney was just great, a fine songwriter with a keen social conscience, coupled with an ability not to take herself too seriously. Even my children liked one of her songs.

@MadMac I'm pretty sure we already have a thread for this sort of thing and, I am therefore locking this one. Edit - Or I will lock this one when I find the right thread

Nothing to panic about. Lynch was going to announce that he was about to stop doing his daily weather updates, but has changed his mind and will carry on.

David Lynch says he'll be making an announcement tomorrow. There has been some recent speculation that the great man might be ill - although I'm really hoping it's about some sort of Twin Peaks related project. .

Acid House Thursday -1988

Disturbed Ukrainian man rampages through town, carrying the severed head of his father and wearing "the intestines of a friend" around his neck.

I like to keep up with the unidentified body scene in the UK There's actually a very odd case going on in Devon at the moment, which has barely made the news. A suspected teenage male found dead near Torquay in October remains anonymous.

It's going to become known as 'Black Wednesday' ... a titanic total of 1912.

I'd like to suggest the psychiatrist and LSD enthusiast Stanislav Grof who will be 90 this year. He was a contemporary of former DL favourite Albert Hoffman and took his first (of many) trips in 1956. Grof was the subject of a recent documentary, The Way of the Psychonaut. Grof has also written extensively on near death experiences.
