The people who predicted it correctly were loudly decried as being hysterical by people who are now grasping at a rapidly decreasing pool of straws with which to prolong their cowardice

I found the inherent contradiction between camoflage ("so I can't be seen") and hi-vis ("see me!") to be a mirthful one when worn in combination.

"Lazarus’ was also the lead song on Bowie’s No Plan EP, released posthumously on 8 January 2017" (Bowiebible).... so, technically correct, although his last release while breathing was Blackstar
