Completely random things I learned today: The Nazis once declared a particular font to be a Jewish conspiracy. [link]
Regarding and calling the so called gothic typeface as a German typeface is wrong. In fact, the gothic typeface consists of Jew-letters from Schwabach. Like they later gained control of the newspapers, the Jews living in Germany had seized control over the printing shops at introduction of the printing press, so that the Schwabacher Jew-letters were heavily introduced in Germany.
Yay tommyrot!
Wow, Hil. That's pretty random.
Uhg, sorry about the work drama, -t.
Can't decide if I dislike an interrupted swim or misreading a storm and skipping a swim more. Otoh, I remedied the sluggish toilet issue that manifested this morning.

Were people supposed to believe that the printing shops in Germany weren't run by members of the Jewish community before the introduction of the printing press? The culture has a millennia-old tradition of scholars and scribes, exactly the people who would have been copying books by hand as their trade!
Tommyrot, so good to hear you get to breathe easier now. Lot of stress for too long.
Good news: got step-dad moved to rehab today. He is healing beautifully. Bad news: big ass beast storm pointed at peoples including my immediate family. I think my biggest fear is it going straight through the Florida Keys. It could completely destroy them, like forever. And always I worry about the island people because they always talk about how they are used to it, but really death and misery isn't something you get used to. DH and son boarded up my house today. Waiting more news before they decide on evacuation, but they won't stay if it is going to hit us. First time in 37 years we have planned evacuation, including when Andrew hit.
Glad for good stepdad news, Laura!
Booze is my friend.
Just rewatched Wonder Woman. Now for some reason I'm rewatching Stranger Things for some reason.
ETA: I'm going to leave that post the way it is.
-t, I'm sorry for the work insanity.
Good news for your stepdad, Laura.
I said this elsewhere, but if anyone wants to evacuate we have room for you and your pets. Just show up if it comes down to it.
Laura, I'm glad they plan to evacuate. Just saw that a nhc scientist evac'd his *cat*, even as he has to stay to monitor the storm. That's telling.
I've got room too, though the roof might leak (but not over the bed.)
