And I am taken to a place

Take up shelter in the base of my spine

its too bad he didnt want to go into the byzantines (and then the ottomans! and then the russians!), i thought i was alone in thinking the byzantine empire was deeply interesting, more so than the roman empire really, until i found the europa universalis community and realized theres a shitload of byzantium fanboys out there to the point where its kind of embarrassing


that sounds cool, for some reason it reminded me of this old-rear end book about the history of science
https://www.amazon.com/Microbe-Hunters-Paul-Kruif/dp/0156027771
it's cool and well written and also sheds light on some of the crazy casual racism and the ridiculous state of medical ethics in the early 20th century. some guy tricked africans into getting spinal taps by just straight up lying to them, and there's a whole thing where he calls the local subjects of walter reed a bunch of lazy cubans while celebrating the bravery of the good white army boys who agreed to get bit by mosquitos and have yellow fever

the author also helped Famous Author sinclair lewis of Book I Mostly Remember Because of The Coincidence WRT the Band arrowsmith write a story of a young man rising through early 20th century medicine and science which includes a dramatic episode in a tropical island hit by an epidemic
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrowsmith_(novel)
apparently lewis refused the pulitzer prize for it bc he thought the prize's criteria were stupid bullshit, thats rad

thank you for your consideration

anybody know of any good free podcasts about cinema history, especially behind the scenes/business/interesting careers/intersections with politics and society at large/generally more than just 'i liked this movie because of [poo poo i didnt go to film school to not learn]'? i don't know poo poo about old timey movies but i know there's lots of great interesting stories out there. i just want a way to hook all the jeopardy questions about movies to some kind of interesting coherent narrative so my brain can remember them

Sup, working from home buddy.

I'm 5' 11" and I got down to 160 but then almost back up to 180 and know I'm at 170.

I try to walk instead of drive as much as I can to keep from turning into a fat sack of crap.

the celebrity softball game ending and celebration was better than the real all-star game this year

and now there isnt any baseball until loving FRIDAY. i hate the all-star break, it's an uncomfortable memento mori in the middle of the not-lovely half of the year, the half when there's like eight baseball games on every day

Some people are wiry. If you weigh 150 before you do any exercise probably some of that is fat. I dunno, I gained weight when I was lifting/running but never got over 180.
