Thatcher 2,377 Posted December 29, 2023 Reports on X he’s dead, but that seems to be just because it’s Dia de los Santos Inocentes in Spanish speaking countries which is similar to April Fools. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Old Crem 3,580 Posted December 29, 2023 If True will be interesting to see what happens in Cuba long term. Trump has hinted before he might be willing to invade if he was president and with how strong his vote is in the Cuban community in the USA ir feels logical. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thatcher 2,377 Posted December 29, 2023 46 minutes ago, drol said: I did at the time of reporting say to take it with a pinch of salt and that there were no official confirmations. At the time it was being tweeted by South American magazines/reputable accounts with substantial followings. In the 7 years I’ve been on here I think I’ve misreported less than 5 deaths in the substantial amount I’ve covered. Of course the deaths I report being actually of note unlike the Indian equivalent of Poirot or oldest living Minister for Railways of the arse end of no where. I don’t know when or why you starting roleplaying as SC but give it a rest and fuck off. p.s just playfully poking back with my stick 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drol 11,906 Posted December 29, 2023 Well, just one last thing to say. If it was, let's say, The Old Crem reporting an April Fools day hoax based on few tweets, when such news would come from a presidency statement, he would have been facepalmed much much more. The problem here is people taking reactions as personal attacks, when they are exclusively related to the posts. And everyone can get it wrong once in a while. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
