"Weird Al" Yankovic is a multiple #GrammyAward-winning American musician, #satirist, #parodist, #accordionist, #director, television producer, and author. He is known in particular for humorous #songs which make fun of popular culture or parody specific songs by contemporary musical acts, or both.

They created money, the real god; they created a virtual entity called the state to control societies; they exploit billions of people; and they prevent awakening. 👇

He began writing as a sports columnist and demonstrated a skill at satire that eventually endeared him to some of the most well-known authors of his time. Ernest Hemingway, Virginia Woolf, and F. Scott Fitzgerald praised his writing, possibly because Lardner wrote things like, “Mr. Fitzgerald is a novelist. Mrs. Fitzgerald is a novelty.”

It is the birthday of the author who wrote,
“Are you lost, Daddy?” I asked tenderly.
“Shut up,” he explained.”
-American storyteller extraordinaire Ring Lardner, born on this day in 1885

#publishing #publish #press #editor #author #books #literature #satire #humor #satirist I wonder if any of the university presses in America, England, Canada and Australia publish satirical novels?

He enjoyed pointing out the absurdities of language and politics. Mencken’s writing was direct and clear – and despite his condescending tone, or maybe because of it – he was quite popular. He was among the first acerbic social critics to make a path for writers like Dorothy Parker, Hunter S. Thompson, Molly Ivins, Charlie Pierce, and others.

It is the birthday of the journalist who wrote,
“Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.”
American satirist and critic H. L. Mencken was born on this day in 1880.
