And he apparently did. On December 29th, 2024 he passed away. Rest in peace!
Born October 1st 1924
Carter was America's 39th President serving from 1977 till 1981. President Carter is notable for many reasons, the first American President to oversee a Middle East peace deal ending 30 years of war between Egypt and Israel, the first President to address climate change, and established the Departments of Education and Energy. After his 1980 defeat by Republican Ronald Reagan Carter would redefine what it is a former President is supposed to do. His 40 years out of office saw the Carters work tirelessly on humanitarian projects around the world. Carter worked with Habitat for Humanity to build houses for those in need across America well into his 90s. Carter also worked to combat decease in the developing world particularly Africa. President Carter once said he wanted only to live long enough to outlive the last Guinea worm, a goal he may have reached, when the Carter Center started its work in 1986 there were 3.5 million cases, so far in 2024, 4. In 2002 President Carter became the first and only American President to win the Nobel Peace Prize for activities after their Presidency. He was awarded the prize for the Carter Center's work promoting Democracy and Human Rights around the world. Carter's political reputation in the US has long been overshadowed by his 1980 loss and the rough end of his Presidency but in 2010s and 2020s President Carter has become more engaged with domestic politics campaigning and speaking in his native Georgia. In February 2023 aged 98 President Carter decided to enter hospice care, and many believed the end was near. 19 months later Carter is celebrating his 100th birthday. Sadly his beloved wife of 77 years former First Lady Rosalynn Carter passed away in November 2023. Many commented on a frail President Carter's personal strength appearing in person at her funeral. President Carter's Family reports that since Kamala Harris entered the 2024 race he's become more alert and following events more closely. When asked about his upcoming birthday Carter told his grandson that he's looking forward to being 100, but what he really wants is to make it to November 5th and cast his last vote for Kamala Harris for President.

December 24
saying goodbye to my advent calenders.
One month since Wicked Part 1 and Gladiator II were being released in the US on the same day.
For a limited time at least.
Wanna visit. Future note: if its not anymore like this, I might try to retrace the steps. Who has seen it IRL ?
The Wicked promotion is a lot. They might´ve gotten all out.
Attention all Ozians! London’s beautiful Royal Borough of Greenwich has had a WICKED makeover, changing its name to GREENWITCH in celebration of the cinematic spectacular flying into cinemas on 22 November.
Happy one monthiversary to Part One of Wicked being released!
Greenwich is home to the Prime Meridian line, which divides the world into East and West, so it’s the picture-perfect place to look to the western sky in homage to Elphaba who sings the song Defying Gravity with the line “If you care to find me, look to the western sky”.
And on the evening of 20th November, at the Royal Observatory, precisely where the Eastern and Western hemispheres meet, the stars of Wicked switched on the Greenwich Meridian laser beam. Grammy, Emmy and Tony winning powerhouse and Academy Award® nominee Cynthia Erivo, pop culture icon Jeff Goldblum, Olivier Award winner and Emmy nominee Jonathan Bailey and director Jon M. Chu all attended the magical photocall, in which, after the green laser divided the night’s sky, surrounding buildings from the Queen’s House to the Old Royal Naval College lit up green in honour of Erivo’s character, Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West.
