比 Hark! A Vagrant 先看这本的原因是底下的作者注释比较少，嗯，跟作者电波不合，不大笑得出来，不就是塞点私货到历史人物口里吗？恶搞得不刁钻，punchline 也不犀利，还是 pbf 那些够狠够疯癫。

We want you to know the name Alice Ball. She was the first woman and first African American to earn a master’s degree in science from the College of Hawaii.
Ball remarkably developed a treatment for leprosy, but she passed away shortly after.
Arthur Dean, chair of the College of Hawaii’s chemistry department, took over the project, and renamed Ball’s method to the “Dean Method,” never crediting Ball for her work.

Juneteenth has #Indigenous history. When Black people who escaped slavery in Florida joined the Seminole Tribe, they became Black Seminoles. They're also called Mascogos b/c they migrated to Mexico, where slavery was already abolished. The Mascogos built the town El Nacimiento in 1852, but still interacted with Seminoles in Texas who brought them Juneteenth in the 1870s. Black Seminoles in Mexico had to survive slavery, the Trail of Tears, & the US-Mexico Border to celebrate #juneteenth #history

if people think this is NOT related to #Paramount killing off #MTV & #VH1 and deleting decades of archives from the internet, Americans need to think long and hard about what they have given up as a society by treating art, history and culture as either luxury goods to be owned by a plutocratic kakistocracy, or as charities to be nickled and dimed by a fascist kleptocracy.
Mind the gap!

£, pound, the unit of weight and history of old money
英制重量单位磅来自于拉丁语libra pondo，意为"磅重量"，其中libra是天秤座。这个词组后来缩写为libra，又进一步缩写成lb。英语中保留了来自pondo的pound作为磅的单词，同时保留了lb这个缩写。
英镑作为货币单位，符号是£，一个花体的L，指的就是libra。
而曾经有过的 1 英镑 = 12 先令，1 先令 = 20 便士这套货币系统，也源于此。公元755年，当时的法兰克国王丕平因黄金短缺无法铸造一种金币Solidius，而欧洲当时大部分地区都使用这种金币。因此他采用了新的货币，用1磅重的银铸造240枚银币Denarius，1枚正在流通的金币可以兑换12枚银币。于是就有了 1 Libra = 20 Solidius = 240 Denarius 的兑换系统。
另外补充：单词penny的复数是pennies，但在货币上，数字大于一就惯用pence。
