Half day at work so I’m lifting at the gym while listening to Enver Pasha shit the bed at Sarakamish.

Ladies, get you a man who loves you the way generals invading Russia during winter love to refuse to provision their troops with proper coats or boots.

Just got roasted by my coworker when I mentioned having β€œThe Impression That I Get” stuck in my head and he was unfamiliar so I was like β€œThat was one of those third wave ska tracks that broke into the Top 40, 1996 or 1997” and he says β€œI was busy being born around then.”

Sign the Petition Demand the Release of Giovanna Hernandez

ICE arrested a woman in Bham this morning on her way to work. She’s been here since she was 7, got her Master’s in social work from Jacksonville State, has no criminal record, and works at the Hispanic and Immigrant Center of Alabama. And now she’ll likely be deported. www.change.org/p/demand-the...

Fully endorse. Right off the bat, Don Quixote is playing with point of view and metatextual jokes as wryly as the most over-it 20th century postmodernist. Really astonishing that it was all right there at the very dawn of the novel as a narrative form.

What is going on in your mind when your suggested use case is robbing one's self of coming up with a corny joke to send to your wife and make her roll her eyes?!?! Life's greatest joy, the entire purpose of civilization! And you're asking me to throw that away??

It could just be Stockholm syndrome from being raised in a history program, but I am a Chicago style citation patriot for reasons like this. Everyone hates end notes until its time to dig deeper!

I think they were fascinating, neat machines too, but I'm very happy that the world of 1946 was one where the United States did not need 10,000 dive bombers

Ooh close! This is in fact a joyful image of swords being beaten into plowshares, the dream of peace looking forward to what can be built instead of what shall be destroyed!

That’s the distinction between rock and jazz to me. In rock, you find say three of those sick shit moments and run them over again and again for three minutes. On a jazz track there are six or seven moments it’s the Sickest Shit You Ever Heard and it never comes around again

Ahhh gotcha! Signing the back is what gives the bank the right to then receive the money from the paying institution since they're the bearer now, and they're paying me that face value when I cash it or deposit it.

Also I've been saying "endorse" instead of "indorse", I've been making an idiot of myself!

Ah okay, so its sort of like ratifying the "pay to the order of" by having the payee indicate "yeah, I'm to the order of"

Please do, this has been a perennial topic of musing over for me but never enough to get me to actually research it

Never understood the point of endorsing a check. Are you asking ME if I believe they have this much money in their account? I should fuckin hope they do, I don't know, man!
