today I learned that in 2008, the city council of florence overturned danteās sentence of execution if he returned from exile. yes, danteās inferno dante, who died in 1321.
but the funniest part of this is not that they were debating the exile of a man who has been dead for over 500 years.
the funniest part is that the vote was 19-5. five people voted to uphold danteās exile.

Need yāall to know that in the 1970ās a letter to the editor was published in Daily Telegraph where the author offhandedly used the phrase āTolkien-like gloomā to describe an area with barren trees and JRRT himself wrote back an incensed rebuttal at the use of his name in a context that suggested anything negative about trees.

So in the latest "ban books!" controversy there's a picture book for pre-schoolers called "Grandad's Pride" the objection is that some of the illustrations of Pride involve men in leather
and I could go on and on about how yes that is in fact something you might see at Pride out in public so why would you not include it but.....
here's an unrelated image of popular children's cartoon character He-Man in a Harness (and fury underpants) if its only a problem when gay men do it, thats homophobia...

Me: oh wow, itās really busy here at work, I should start doing something that isnāt my responsibility just to help out, maybe I can skip my break today, or stay a littleā
My inner Chilchuk Tims: Your job description has your responsibility and includes hours worked and breaks. Stick to it unless they want to pay you more. No job is your friend no matter how much you like it.
