oh.

oh. I’m 3 days too late to make an “it was 50 years ago today” joke. I guess my whole g+ feed was obsessed with what was released 10 years minus one day later.

Except it was already “20 years ago today” in ’67.

So…. May 26, 1947. The (official) end of capital punishment, back in the USSR.

After that they had to be content with having people just softly and suddenly vanish away or somehow ingest polonium or get into fatal disagreements with nameless criminals.

Life goes on, helter-skelter.
