I watched Conclave (2024)

I cannot overstate how much I love Tom Lehrer's story. It sounds so fake but is entirely real.

He's a goddamn genius- he started studying mathematics at Harvard when he was 15 and graduated magna cum laude. He worked at Los Alamos for a few years before being drafted and working for the NSA, where he claims to have invented jello shots to get around alcohol bans.

He then went back to Harvard for a couple years before starting to teach political science at MIT.

Through all of that, he was writing and performing both some of the funniest shit you'll ever hear (Poisoning Pigeons in the Park, Masochism Tango) and absolutely scathing political satire (Who's Next, Wernher von Braun, Send the Marines). Until the mid/late 60s counterculture gained momentum. He didn't like their aesthetic, so he stopped making music.

Shortly after, he moved to California and started teaching math and musical theater history at the UC Santa Cruz for the next 30 years.

I don't know if non-Californians understand just how goddamn funny that is. It's where stoners and math (and now computer science) kids who couldn't get into Berkeley go. Leaving Harvard/MIT for UCSC is peak academic phoning it in. And by all accounts he had a blast.

Plus the whole putting all of his music in the public domain thing. That fucked.

One of my co-workers has a standing desk that he uses sitting down. It looks like this

black sails will burrow a hole into your heart so deep and it will plant an eternally burning coal in there and then retract itself and you’ll always have that burning coal inside you searing you but keeping you warm and reminding you of it and you will never be the same again

Captain James Flint — serval years late, but hopefully not too many doubloons short.

Or in other news, I finally watched Black Sails, predictably for anyone who ever knew me fell in love, and ever since, have been trying to do Flint’s vibe of “stoic while simultaneously looking pained, amused, exasperated and about three seconds from murderous” justice.
