That BBC self-ad at half time of the World Cup Final was OK, but Mitch Benn did it better years ago with ‘I’m Proud of the BBC’ (YouTube link).

Sir Ian McKellen on the Colbert show reminds us, in his inimitable way, that mob-led xenophobia was also a thing 400 years ago, and Shakespeare had opinions about that.

From "Sir Thomas More" a play not attributed to Shakespeare, but there is very strong evidence he added to it, in particualr the speech Sir Ian quotes above.

Rest in peace to a legend

Lived to 97 years old, invented the Jello Shot, Wrote some of the best satire I’ve ever heard.

“If after hearing my songs just one human being is inspired to say something nasty to a friend or perhaps to strike a loved one it will all have been worth the while.” - Tom Lehrer

Listen to Poisoning Pigeons in The Park, Listen to The Elements, Listen to The Masochism Tango. His contributions shall not be forgotten.

Mitch Benn is doing a tribute to him and a celebration of his music at the fringe this year - definitely worth going to, especially now

[evil-ice-cream]

For anyone who missed it, his tribute show along with every song Mitch Benn has ever written (it is a hell of a lot) can be found on Bandcamp, who pay better than Spotify

Here is his profile and here is the show the Lehrer effect.

Also anyone in Sydney Australia, he's at your fringe just now! 10000% recommend

I’m STILL calling them their appropriate pronouns the next 1,259 days.
