This board has turned into a Facebook feed lately. I've seen posts of hockey fights, carpentry tutorials... random music videos... it's either boomers who have made this their new social media site or people trying to forum slide..
It's forum sliding, imho. Report it.
I think a lot of the old timers have just kind of moved on.
Not to mention that it was known that Anita has health problems for a while. She was supposed to appear on the Masked Singer last year, but had to drop out due to illness, so her problems are a long time brewing with or without the vax.
Her daughter also died of Cancer (she was only in her 30's) nearly 20 years ago and her Sister and Mother years ago..
Typical knee-jerk reaction to post-first-then-verify by people who collect dopamine based on their traffic. Posts like these make all of us look stupid. It's like using the word 'Hero' for any and every act performed. It cheapens the real victims and makes readers jaded to actual events of note.
No, that song was by Tina Turner
Reminds me of the Kate Spade posthumous Pizza purse and jewelery. Now whatever could that all be about?
Article mentions the Neutron Dance. That song was likely nuclear blackmail comms way back when they used it in Beverly Hills Cop, and possibly still today.
Don't they look kind of photoshopped?
I'm not sure why photoshop matters. It's printed that way by The Guardian, including the orange pepperoni pizza (probably photoshopped). So it's still a warning of some sort. Same as V. Westwood with the orange hair.
74 seems innocuous, but it's 47 backwards and maybe that's part of the message. I just assembled a Santa sled lego from Christmas and the sled had a license plate. Seemed weird, but it said 54N74, which could be read as SANTA if you squint. Ok, but I find it an odd coincidence that it comes out this year and includes the numbers 45 and 47 (albeit backwards) with the 14th letter sandwiched in between. I mean, why put a license plate on a non road worthy sled in the first place, other than to include some sort of message?
The photo shop doesn't matter, just an observation. I like the SANTA decode!
Heh, I got even crazier when I visited the modest mouse post mentioned below.
And now that I'm back... Is that a photoshopped ghost frog creeping over Anita's shoulder in the picture here? I think it is!
You know, the first time i saw that i thought it was a snake, and then rolled on, like it's perfectly normal for a woman to wear pizza earrings and a snake! And as far as your 45 sightings - I like it! Sometimes I get like that too, where I start noticing things EVERYWHERE!
...holy shit, and they were some of my favorite singers...
She was wonderful 😭
Also drummer for Modest Mouse
This maybe connects because of the age. There seems to be a 45...47 meme happening here. See my 54N74 comment above for the complete craziness.
wow all these celebs are dropping like flies recently. All could be old age but still.
Suddenly?
Does not sound sudden. She was surrounded by family when she died, per the article.
Her sister Bonnie died at 69 back in 2020: https://www.theguardian.com/music/2020/jun/08/singer-bonnie-pointer-dies-aged-69
