>Martin Luther used jest in many of his criticisms against the Catholic Church.[16] In the introduction to his To the Christian Nobility of the German Nation, he calls himself a court jester, and, later in the text, he explicitly invokes the jester's privilege when saying that monks should break their chastity vows.[16]
Martin Luther was pulling the ole Jon Stewart "I'm just a comedy program bro!" way back in the 16th century -

Learning that many court fools, now known as "natural fools", were simply people who were mentally retarded. The King would staff his court full of court dwarfs and retards, and just sit back and enjoy the action. But also these retards were given lots of care and affection and were looked after, with fancy clothes and such like. -

>Once, Triboulet slapped Francis I on the buttocks, to the enjoyment of the surrounding nobles. The monarch lost his temper and threatened to execute Triboulet. The monarch calmed down, and promised to forgive Triboulet if he could think of an apology more insulting than the offending deed. Triboulet responded: "I'm so sorry, your majesty, that I didn't recognize you! I mistook you for the Queen!"[3] Francis I ordered that he be put to death for once again violating his order not to make jokes about the queen and her courtiers. As he had served him particularly well for many years, the king granted Triboulet the right to choose how he would die. Triboulet said (translated from the original French): "Good sire, by Saint Goody Two Shoes and Saint Fatty, patrons of insanity, I ask to die from old age." Laughing, the king ordered that Triboulet not be executed but instead be banished from the realm.[4][5] -

>Triboulet: "A noble has threatened to hang me!"
>The Monarch: "Don't worry! If he hangs you I'll have him beheaded fifteen minutes later."
>Triboulet: "Well, would it be possible to behead him 15 minutes before?" -

>He is remembered as a man of great intelligence and a political philosopher gifted with formidable insight into Poland's current and future situation. He used his job to criticize and warn his contemporaries by the use of satire. His witty jokes often pertained to current political or court matters. Stańczyk's remarks and jokes were preserved by numerous contemporary writers who praised him for fighting hypocrisy in the name of truth.
>Stańczyk became a popular historical figure in Polish literature after the partitions (1795). Some writers treated him as a symbol of Poland's struggle for independence
>The jester is depicted as the only person at a royal ball who is troubled by the news that the Muscovites have captured Smolensk.
I think this guy is a big origin point for the myth of the Jester as political truth speaker
>Almost nothing is known about Stańczyk's life and even his name and identity are a matter of dispute.
It appears that he also probably never even existed, but his legend still lives on because its an enduring idea -

>João de Sá (fl. 1524–1567), known as Panasco (a nickname that meant rudeness as revealed by clothes or manners), was a black African in the employ of King John III of Portugal, who was eventually elevated from court jester to gentleman courtier of the Royal Household. -

>Jeffrey Hudson (1619 – circa 1682) was a court dwarf of the English queen Henrietta Maria of France. He was famous as the "Queen's dwarf" and "Lord Minimus", and was considered one of the "wonders of the age" because of his extreme but well-proportioned smallness. He fought with the Royalists in the English Civil War and fled with the Queen to France but was expelled from her court when he killed a man in a duel. He was captured by Barbary pirates and spent 25 years as a slave in North Africa before being ransomed back to England.

>Royalist courtiers collected around the Queen, but Hudson apparently had no interest in resuming his role of pet or clown and let it be known he would suffer no more jokes or insults. There is no record of the precise offence offered, but in October 1644, Hudson challenged the brother of William Crofts to a duel. Crofts arrived at the duel brandishing a large water squirt gun,[6][nb 1] but his flippancy would lead to his death, as Hudson fatally shot him in the forehead. Crofts's death was a disaster for Hudson. Duelling had been outlawed in France and this could be considered a transgression against hospitality, in addition to the fact that William Crofts was a powerful figure as the Queen's Master of Horse and head of her lifeguard. Hudson was initially sentenced to death, but Henrietta Maria interceded for his life, and he was sent back to England.[8]

>The climax of the lavish banquet was the presentation of Jeffery to the Queen, served in a large pie. When the pie was placed in front of the Queen, Hudson arose from the crust, 18 inches (460 millimetres) tall and dressed in a miniature suit of armour. The Queen was delighted and the Duke and Duchess of Buckingham offered Hudson to her as an amusing gift.[1]

@Duine Matt is pretty much /ourguy/ politically, see this recent song: https://youtu.be/QP3zRBtgvJo but almost everything after Resistance is kinda valueless commercial radio trash with maybe 1 good song per album (Panic Station, The Handler, Propaganda) they also get cheesier and their production quality goes down too, but there are some gems here and there for the Muse aficionado. they never cucked out but they are kinda blackpilled now i.e. https://youtu.be/ac4E_UsmB1g -

when the year is 2108, how will people say it? "twenty one oh eight"? or "two thousand one hundred and eight"? both seem clunky, and those poor bastards have got 100 years of that shit -

> While satisfying the Victorian demand for traditional stuffed animals to earn a living, Potter continued creating his dioramas and expanded into new premises in 1866, and again in 1880
>Amongst his scenes were "a rats' den being raided by the local police rats ... [a] village school ... featuring 48 little rabbits busy writing on tiny slates, while the Kittens' Tea Party displayed feline etiquette and a game of croquet. A guinea pigs' cricket match was in progress, and 20 kittens attended a wedding, wearing little morning suits or brocade dresses, with a feline vicar in white surplice."[5] Potter's attention to detail in these scenes has been noted, to the extent that "The kittens even wear frilly knickers under their formal attire!"[7] -

Even the most diehard opponents of taxidermy will get down on their knees and weep in awe of the kitten's tea party -

Maybe @mono would get a kick out of this, the work of Victorian taxidermist Walter Potter
