Saw a BBC News programme today about deaths in 2024, but no mention of Breyten Breytenbach.
A bit niche, you say? Well so were a physicist and a Brazilian footballer-hadn't heard of either of them.
Here is a reminder of why people might remember his name

Turns out Judi Dench is descended from an uncle of Tycho Brahe. But she is not bothered, because she has never heard of him.
Not fair-if I had an antecedent like that I would be exploding with excitement

Oh! BBC4 has been showing The Box of Delights and I didn't realise. Mind you, I know it pretty much by heart due to showing it to numerous classes.
If you are able to do catch up or whatever, give yourself a Christmas treat.

Bloody hell! Trump is going to the reopening of Notre Dame 🤢
I have questions
Did the boot-licker Macron invite him, or did he invite himself?
Will he still go if it's raining?
Aren't they worried about a thunderbolt starting another fire?

Emphasis on the word "revolutionary." There's no voting this system away; both the Democrats and Republicans are fully complicit in the horrors inflicted on Americans by the health insurance industry.
The quick appearance of these memes is proof that millions of people hate their health insurance companies, and with good reason. But that also means that our energy needs to be directed toward something revolutionary.

Televangelists ask for your money 'in My name,' but trust me, I haven’t seen a dime of it—those private jets don’t pay for themselves.

Oh dear. It's mostly nice on here. But I've been shouted at and belittled for the past hour by someone who claimed to want a rational discussion.
Must be less gullible in future.😐

Ah, time to out myself as a Christian (UK Methodist, honestly we're the good guys). But also very much into all faiths when used to preach love.
Am now being followed by a couple of atheists. Happy to follow them back if they are after civilised respectful discussion x
