  2. #publishing #publisher #satirist #essayist #author We think that America and England are countries of freedom, but in reality they exert a strict pressure on the world of thought, they see satirists as activist militants, they do not even allow them to infiltrate the dominions.

  3. Famed #satirist andmathematician #TomLehrer enrolled at #Harvard at 15, where he studied math before joining US #Army, then returning to #Cambridge for a graduate degree. He gained renown locally for his parodies, which often took aim at divisive political issues & pushed the boundaries of propriety. His first album, which he paid to record in 1953 and sold at his performances, became a cult hit that ultimately propelled him to multiple world tours...#music #musician “That Was The Week That Was”

    6 years ago today Wiglaf Droste died.

    As a satirist, novelist, songwriter, author, publicist, he knew how to expose with the sharpest of blades

  6. A quotation from Horace

    But he that touches me, (hands off! I cry, —
    Avaunt, and at your peril come not nigh!)
    Shall for his pains be chaunted up and down,
    The jest and byeword of a chuckling Town.
     
                                            [At ille,
    Qui me conmorit (melius non tangere, clamo),
    Fiebit et insignis tota cantabitur urbe.]

    Horace (65-8 BC) Roman poet, satirist, soldier, politician [Quintus Horatius Flaccus]
    Satires [Saturae, Sermones], Book 2, # 1, “Sunt quibus in Satira,” l. 44ff (2.2.44-46) (30 BC) [tr. Howes (1845)]

  9. The American #satirist H. L. #Mencken: ‘There are people who read too much: the bibliobibuli,’ he wrote in a fragment later published combining the Greek for ‘book’ (#biblios) with the Latin for ‘fond of drinking’ (#bibulus). ‘I know some who are constantly drunk on books, as other men are drunk on whiskey or religion. They wander through this most diverting and stimulating of worlds in a haze, seeing nothing and hearing nothing.’

  10. I've done a lot of work as an artist & independent filmmaker. Some experiences better than others. Indie film, panels, school projects & unfortunately the worst freelance experience which ableist far-right bullies tricked & attacked me. :( END HATE !

  11. Last month #satirist #TomLehrer posted all of his albums and lyrics for download.

    It says he no longer retains any rights to his music and that they are free to perform and post. And the site will shut down sometime in the not too distant future.

    "Lurid, licentious and vile, Make me smile.
    Novels that pander
    To my taste for candor
    Give me a pleasure sublime."
