The play was such a success that a few years later, the Marx Brothers turned it into their first movie, which made them international stars.
I show a clip of it at the end of my lecture on the Roaring 20s.

Coming home after school. Turning the game on. Harry describing the action, Ryno was the action. So much of my Cubs fandom and my childhood.
With great sadness, we share that Ryne Sandberg has passed away today.

great thread about the state of the american craft beer industry, and i'm not just saying that because i'm (very briefly) mentioned in it
Ok. Let’s do that 1 like thing.
I’ve been professionally brewing and distilling for nearly 20 years.
So 1 like=1 hot take on the adult beverage industry

The #1 way to explain America working properly is by saying “comedians can make fun of he President on TV.” A good way to explain fascism is “the President forces companies to fire those comedians as a condition of allowing them to conduct business.”

If you think for one second that this decision has nothing to do with Trump, don’t worry, he will brag about it within the next 24 hours and disabuse you of that notion.
