Today is a sad, sad day for fans of comedy, satire, music and all combinations therein. A day we all knew was coming eventually, granted, but that doesn't make it any less sad.

Tom Lehrer, THE greatest singer-songwriter of musical satire to ever walk the earth, has left us at age 97. 🧵

One thing I want to say about Tom Lehrer is that not only were his songs deeply, darkly funny, but they're also so linguistically and musically fine-tuned that they are *hard* to perform. I don't think anyone has ever even come close to performing them like he could.

And today, on what would be his 103rd birthday, we celebrate Cushing’s eternal partner in crime and fellow horror and genre giant, the utterly magnificent Sir Christopher Lee 🖤

2,000 years ago, two men died hanging upon a tree, both believing that they’d done right by the world. Today, Christianity calls one of them Savior, and one of them Traitor. But this #GoodFriday, I want to offer different perspectives on Judas Iscariot, a figure central to my spiritual practice.

It's a good as hell day to fight back the urge to be controlled by the despair.

Experimenting today to see if curling up on the couch with a box of sugar cookies and seven hours of cult documentaries is, in fact, the long-sought cure to the common cold.

Write every day for 1 hour. If you miss a writing day add 1 hour to the next. It’s incredible! Tomorrow I’m writing for 7 years.
