SomeBODY once told me about a bird that's turnin'
And turnin' in a widening gyre
It was lookin' kinda lost cause it couldn't hear its boss
As it soared ever higher and higher

Well, things fall apart and the centre's not holdin',
Anarchy's loose and there's no controllin',
Innocence drowned in a blood-dimmed tide,
The worst get intense while the best just hide

So much to do, so much to see
Images out of Spiritus Mundi
You've gotta move those slow thighs
Open up your pitiless eyes

Hey now
Lion body
With a man's head
Go play

Hey now
You're a rough beast
Get the show on
Get paid

Your hour's come round once more
Slouching towards Bethlehem to be bo-orn

This is kind of niche hilarity but I can’t believe the creator of Textmate wrote, released, then immediately abandoned a fork of the Jekyll CMS in October last year

The Pinkertons, of irregular rendition and Deadwood fame, are poising for a comeback in a climate change-ravaged world where governments can no longer effectively enforce laws.

The worst bit? They think their competitors will be the big consulting firms. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/04/10/magazine/climate-change-pinkertons.html

Change.org is a data mining operation.

Actually, Die Hard was originally a series of gladiator entertainments during Saturnalia.
