I shall poison a pigeon and slide down the razor blade of life tonight in his honor. Rest in Praseodymium, Mr. Lehrer.

Tom Lehrer (1928–2025) made musical satire sing…and sting. His songs were funny, outrageous, & often uncomfortably true.
He died recently at 97. Years earlier, he disclaimed copyright to all his lyrics and compositions; a gesture as radical as his songs.
We remember his life, his legacy, & what it means for the #digitalcommons ⤵️
