I am not sure his death is confirmed though. Apparently he had a new stroke.

Seeming brazillian confirmation

That one (as I am seeing it now) cites the Jacobin article as a source, but the Jacobin article itself is fuzzy on sourcing.

New Statesman has an obituary now too, so it seems pretty certain that he has died.

It’s possible that they made a mistake. I just think it’s unlikely that they’d have published it without confirmation.

Fair enough. I’m surprised NS were that sloppy, but apologies for contributing to the misinformation.

I was too lazy to log out but could see this much from Google search. Pinker said, (28 minutes ago): "Reports today of Noam Chomsky's death (in Jacobin and New Statesman, since taken down) were greatly exaggerated. I have confirmation from..."
