Reports of the death of Noam Chomsky appear to be untrue. The New Statesman and Jacobin published obituaries for the 95-year-old linguist, philosopher, activist and intellectual, who is known to have had a stroke last year, however Cauê Seigner Ameni, editor of Jacobin Brasil tweeted that he has spoken to Chomsky's wife, Valerie, and he is alive. The New Statesman has now taken down its obituary, while Jacobin has given its tribute a new headline: "Let’s Celebrate Noam Chomsky, the Intellectual and Moral Giant."
