I retract this statement, it turns out Lutnick was actually not contradicting the rest of this republican administration, he was in fact 💯 on party line, we just didn’t know it yet because the party line has reversed since Friday.

I'm working on Little Murders but it's a slog so far in the first 20 minutes. Does it pick up? I like Braverman better, I've had some laughs!
of course I'll take any excuse to rewatch Taking of Pelham One, Two, Three; Across 110th Street, Black Caesar, Cotton comes to Harlem, etc.

gotta go light on the orange juice, it is SUPER sweet and adds too much sugar for me. That's a good hot weather post-ride smoothie: frozen bananas, ice cubes, OJ, milk, vanilla whey powder.

good one!
I peel and freeze the bananas ahead of time, then it's ice cubes, milk, 2 frozen bananas, chocolate whey protein powder.
Variations: frozen peaches + greek yogurt, vanilla whey. Or frozen blueberries+frozen bananas+vanilla. OJ/vanilla/banana! Or "The Elvis": bananas, peanut butter, choc.

what do you mean it's on fire, I don't hear a smoke alarm, just use the fire extinguisher from the foyer

let's just put up drywall in the door from the foyer to the rest of the restaurant, nobody's using the foyer anymore since we bricked up the entrance and closed the window that some customers were coming though, also that paint isn't working let's strip it all off the north wall and put up wallpaper

while we're bricking up the old double doors and some customers are coming in through the windows, let's close those windows because it's better if customers still come through the doors, that's what doors are for even if we're bricking them up, get rid of that fire extinguisher it clashes w/ paint

let's get some of the original paint back so start stripping off the new paint on the west wall but leave the new paint on two walls and choose a fourth paint color for half the east wall; why is that new furniture still here I told you to get the old stuff back from the warehouse, cost no object
comment in response to
post
no let's keep some of the old furniture and the new furniture, and let's try a different color on one wall but keep the other three, no need to have those big double doors let's brick those up and some customers can come in through the windows; let's unhook that smoke alarm it's ugly,

No but I did request a screening of “Triplets of Belleville,” “Breaking Away,” “Quicksilver,” or “American Flyers.” They already showed “Rad.”

I have a “US out of El Salvador” graffiti somewhere on our campus. Time is a flat circle.

It’s almost like that the modern nation state needs whole rooms full of people with desks to manage the workload. Many rooms of desks and office furniture of all kinds. Bureaus too, will be necessary to make this government functional.

I dunno, I’m fairly certain you’re getting confused with a song by Eddie Grant. youtu.be/gldHHrqacbA?...

Oh right “The Electric State.” I’d already forgotten what that was.

And it was shortened as “G and T” which may explain my adult preoccupation with the cocktail gin and tonic or “G and T”
Or perhaps I’m just an alcoholic either is possible

There is a priest with a large crucifix that is somehow also a broadsword, played by Liam Neeson, who is on screen for like 4 minutes tops.

“due to the complete loss” is a remarkably passive construction

I'm using some OER textbooks already, but monographs don't have OER replacements.
In a crisis, which may be coming, as a historian I can teach some classes/skills with just OER and public domain primary sources. But that means not reading recent historical scholarship, one of the skills of history.

our institution, unlike most, has a cooperative textbook rental service; students get charged a flat fee & faculty have to keep their orders under a cap and must reuse the same textbook over several years. But if costs balloon over summer, that could bankrupt the co-op, or lead to huge fee hikes.
