I think Kennedy means boar's head specifically and there are a few other Irish names that mean [animal]'s head.

Kennedy is probably "ugly head" or "helmet head", with the "ceann" part in Gaeilge meaning "head", but the only other Ken- name I can think of is Kennelly, which would probably translate as "wolf head". But the Anglicisation of our clan names was a big old mess so there's plenty of contention

My wife & I are re-watching The Sopranos, and I can't believe I didn't catch this the first time we watched: Phil Leotardo is a closeted homosexual. During Vito's death scene he literally comes out of the closet.

Phy posted:Today I learned that William Butler Yeats once kicked Aleister Crowley down a flight of stairs I remember hearing an interview with Yeats' son. Apparently his mother would send him in to his father's study to have a chat, and it was always extremely awkward, his father had zero clue how to hold a conversation with his own child. Good poet, bad dad. He kicked Crowley, so that tips the balance back in his favour.

Apparently it was some sort of full on wizard battle rather than just knocking some rear end in a top hat down? Not sure how to feel about that

I had an autistic diagnosis a few years ago and another neurodivergent friend told me that she could tell right away, before my diagnosis, just based on the way I text. She says I have no understanding of "polite texting" as she called it. "For instance," she says. "You always end your texts with a period*." So what? I says to her. That's not polite? She says there's a subtext to it, that I clearly don't read, but others do. Which is why nobody else ends their texts or instant messages with a period. And I said, What? What the gently caress are you talking about? Of course everyone ends their texts with periods. Otherwise there would be chaos and anarchy. But then I checked and motherfuck my world is blown away. I am the only one out of like a dozen people I message that actually ends messages with a period. If there are multiple sentences in a text, they use punctuation, all but the last period. People think I'm autistic because I'm consistent with punctuation? How did I not even notice people do this? This is polite texting?! *the big reveal here is that people will use punctuation if it's a question, or if they want to add exclamation points, but if it's a period, everyone just leaves the sentence to hang!!!
