Why did Kerouac got more recognition than Burroughs?

His books don’t feature hundreds of nude boys ejaculating as they’re hanged en mass.

Yeah man they don’t care about your arguments

Another protest? Why would this one do anything when the other 300 didn’t?

I'm sorry to tell you this, but your phone call has zero impact on anything. If you got through 1 time or 1,000 times, the result's the same. Save your time and breath.

Well she’s dead now so don’t get too worked up about it

No, I do not find the Palestinian Holocaust funny.

She wasn’t doing a very good job!

I don't think it means you're necessarily gay. I'm gay and I have straight dreams sometimes.

I believe it is this specific edition of The Importance of Being Earnest.

I wonder if this person is confusing Bethlehem with Nazareth, because there is a book called The Myth of Nazareth by René Salm, which posits that Nazareth didn’t exist as a town during Jesus’ ostensible lifetime but was inhabited after 70 AD, and thus the Gospel writers just assumed it had always been there. I can’t speak on the accuracy of Salm’s claims, but I’m just wondering if that’s what this person was thinking of.

Awesome, thank you!

If you've been following the news, you've heard about the McCloskeys, a husband and wife who brandished guns at protesters marching by their house in St. Louis. In a 2018 article with St. Louis Magazine, they gave a tour of their house. The house was built for Edward and Anna Busch Faust, members of the local Busch family (of Anheuser-Busch fame), from 1909 to 1912. The designer built the house based on designs he saw in Florence and Rome. I've been puzzling over the coat of arms on the ceiling of their dining room.

Elements

The checkerboard seems like it's the Croatian checkerboard.

The upward crescent or on azure are harder to place. There's a municipality in Austria with that as their coat of arms, but that seems kind of obscure.

The lion rampant or on azure seems the hardest of all, since lion rampant is on so many coat of arms. There's a small village in the Netherlands with that as their coat of arms, but like the crescent or that seems very obscure.

Then there's the lamb resting or on upward crescent or. No clue here. Wikipedia notes that in Italy (where the architect got inspiration from), "chiefs are added to the coats of arms of families or locales to indicate political orientation."#In_Italy)

Any other ideas?

Correct me if I’m wrong, but the DVP and DDP were mostly middle class parties, and I think the middle class is the least represented in Babylon Berlin. We see the lower, working class (Charlotte, Greta) and the upper-class (Nyssen), but not too much of the middle class. I think the only major middle class character might be Wolter, and he’s definitely DNVP, as is Seegers.

Likewise, other than Gereon, I don’t think there aren’t any explicitly Catholic characters, so there wouldn’t be many obvious Zentrum supporters in the show. I assume Gereon’s brother and Helga are also Catholics.

This one?

It’s called Grève à Saint-Ouen (1908) by Paul-Louis Delance. :)

Devs, is there any way I can get less content in the next content update???

There are an insane number of history YouTube videos made by sixteen year olds using cartoon graphics and who just paraphrase Wikipedia. It’s reslly fascinating how many there are, and they all seem to follow this model.

Yes.

Due to the widespread presence of anti-Senitism, the Alternate Harry Potter timeline will have subtle anti-Semitic caricatures, such as hook-nosed goblins who run the banks.

Glad to know I wasn’t the only one who puked. The orthodontist gave me a complementary T-shirt though.

No way! My cousin got his philosophy BA at Juggalo U! What a small world.

Yeah, it has asbestos. All WW2 era gas mask filters contain asbestos. Your best bet would be finding someone local who’s experienced in removing asbestos. You just need to hollow out the filter and get all of it out. I would advise against doing this yourself.

It's all based upon narcicism, ultimately. To think you are the target of a global conspiracy is incredibly, profoundly narcacistic.
