Oh, as if I couldn't have loved the guy any more.
With Tom Lehrer's passing, I suppose this is a moment to share the story of the prank he played on the National Security Agency, and how it went undiscovered for nearly 60 years.

Oh FFS.
A senior US government official has called for “lower quality humans” to be sterilised en masse.
It’s disgusting & terrifying. And America has been here before.

Doing an online course to learn to teach a new fitness class, I spent much of the time drawing (it wasn't that I was bored, it helped me concentrate on the course!). The class is called Shapes, so it made sense to incorporate the name.
