Lol. A fn dove? 

I swear, I'm often convinced our institutional leaders are 💯% dumbass.

"The #Sydney Harbour Bridge will be lit up with a #menorah in tribute to the 15 victims of the #Bondi #terrorattack, as council makes a last minute change to the #NewYearsEve tribute.

The initial plan for the tribute, made in consultation with the #JewishBoardofDeputies, was to light up the bridge with the image of a dove and the word “peace."

That changed on Monday after more than 30 #Jewish-#Australian #creatives wrote a letter to #LordMayor #CloverMoore urging her to project a “Jewish-specific symbol” onto the bridge."

Wow, that is literally the most convoluted electoral process imaginable. What happened to strange women in ponds distributing swords? (s s d) #LordMayor #CityOfLondon #CGPGrey

In #earlymodern London, 29 October (the day after the feast of Saints Simon and Jude) was the day of the Lord Mayor's Triumph.

Late as I walked through Cheapside, an early #17thCentury ballad from Ms Drexel 4257 describes the sights and sounds of the day.

Details include the Lord Mayor's procession through the streets of London, accompanied by civic dignitaries, liverymen, whifflers, and more; horses, wild men and noisy fireworks; and pageants with boy and girl actors.
From the Gamble Commonplace Book, Ms Drexel 4257

Richard de Winter: tenor
Robin Jeffrey: lute
Alison Kinder: bass viol
