Ideas and possibilities for 2023

Recommended Posts

As stated elsewhere, Quentin Blake turns 90 today.... does he feel DeathList-y? Maybe not, but he definitely feels "worthy of their own thread in about 12 months or so".

Ellen Burstyn just turned 90 as well.  I'm hoping Yoko Ono, Michael Caine, Quincy Jones, Carol Burnett, and Willie Nelson all turn 90 as well as still be alive for several more years since they are living legends.

Not everyone makes it to 90 or is beyond 90, though. Your list made me remember that.

I am convinced this guy is a troll, I refuse to believe that anyone (who is not a practising member of the British Conservative party) can be this inept.

I hope he is… because if not, then I’d be very worried about him/her

Sickest suggestion this year, maybe in this century:

A woman who is prohibited from aborting her miscarriage in the state of Idaho has been documenting her declining health:

Editorial comment - bloody glad you and me banned such picks from the DDP.

As an Italian, I hope next year to see two Italians on the DL 2023: former president Giorgio Napolitano and Gianluca Vialli (even if I hope that Gianluca will recover from his cancer).

 

And Berlusconi must be dropped from the DL 2023: he is still in good shape.

Canadian author and GBNEWS presenter Mark Steyn has taken leave of absence from the station after suffering two big heart attacks.

 

”Only” 63 but one to watch.

Renowned Oxford scientist Mark Stokes announces on Twitter that he has “days” left. Relatively young and suffering from terminal cancer. 
 

May make the 2023 starting line so worth a punt in the DDP as he may score a Guardian obit.

 

Sorry (not sorry) if I just revealed someone’s unique pick. I’m retiring from the DDP so I have no cards to hold for next year!

Announced dead in this article, with "proof": a Facebook user giving a tribute to Mark, while quoting the above tweet. No new information given. Have some people forgot how to read or is clickbait journalism really this bad? :facepalm:

How can such a tweet get over 300k likes? He only has a bit more than 20k followers. This is a weird case.
