#OnThisDay in 1961 Lenny Bruce stepped on a stage and uttered a phrase that has stuck in the cultural lexicon to such a degree that I'd be willing to bet most of us have heard of, read it, or used it. We credit Shakespeare with so many creative entries to the English language, but "yada yada" is all Lenny. And it all started 71 years ago. (Despite popular belief, Seinfeld didn't start it, he just added an extra "yada") #HistoryGetsLIT

TheKidUpstairs This is the entry for the 23rd. And yes, I was extremely tempted to use a pic of Luke Kirby from Mrs Maisel because 🔥🔥🔥, but alas it felt more appropriate to actually put Lenny up there. 2y

I thought this book would be funny. It is not funny in the least. It‘s interesting how they go after him for what he says in his act. Decency my arse.

Read this over a decade ago, the part that sticks with me most is when he talks about how we should have large rooms for all the lonely people so they don't have to sleep alone ❤️❤️❤️
