I just went down the Tom Lehrer rabbit hole (once again). Such a brilliantly witty satirist & pianist, and creator of some of the best worst puns & internal tortured rhymes you could ever wish for (and I say that as a card-carrying #Sondheim fan 🙃)

and he’s still alive! 😜

I hope you all know his wonderful body of work already, but if not – strap in, you’re one of today’s lucky 10,000…! 🎉🎉🎉

enjoy his biting ditties in glorious B&W…

Naturally, the Vatocracy claimed not to know of the fascist atrocities. Think of all the lovely gold stashed in its secret vaults! https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/sep/16/letter-suggests-pope-pius-xii-knew-of-mass-gassings-of-jews-and-poles-in-1942 #VaticanRag #IlPapa
