A few minutes later, wagons rolled up with the rest of the lager. Revin trotted downstairs and then opened the hatch into the cellar. Porters rolled barrels of beer and crates of supplies down the steep steps. Revin noticed one wagon with burly men unloading a very long crate. After they left, he cut the bands around the crate, and opened it revealing a dozen spears. Colonel Sparks might be a #jerk, Revin thought, but he was good at his job. #wss366 from *Devishire!*

#Wss366 #TimeTravelAuthors 9/21. Characters’ sincerity?

In front of us rose a dense wall of low, tangled scrub, and beyond that, the jagged silhouette of tall trees loomed against the night sky. I could identify palm trees among them. A cool breeze blew off the ocean, along with the steady drum of the surf. Out of the wind, the night was warm and humid. The air smelled of salt, leaf mold, and something faintly acrid.

“Heinr… Henrietta—Bijou?” She faltered and then asked, “What should I call you? That professor called you Henrietta something-or-other, but that’s not the name you gave me.”

“Mademoiselle Henrietta Dubois is dead, and I don’t even remember what her life was like. But Henrietta is easier than Luminelle. So, Henrietta Bijou will do.”

“Should I call you Hetty or Retta? What would you like?”

“Bijou. It’s easy, and what you’ve been calling me.”

“Okay, Bijou… Do you think there are timeparticles where there was no Great War and another war with Germany fizzles out?”

“It’s possible. If there are other time-travelers, it’s something they might want to do. Then again, maybe not. I’m guessing there’re forces working against that. Someone or something ransacked my office and murdered me.”

“Rabbits?”

“That seems like a good guess.”

“It never stops, does it, Bijou? We just keep doing it over and over.”

I changed the subject. Not to be a #jerk, but the conversation stirred up the shadows of uncomfortable memories and feelings. “I think I know where we are. Not the name, but the historical event. Let’s go find Amelia.”

I turned and walked down the beach. I found myself singing.

          Where have all the flowers gone?
          Long time passing.
          …
          Gone for soldiers, every one.
          …
          When will they ever learn?
          When will they ever learn? [Note 2]

Review: Jerk – Sucked In (Rock)

This review covers the industrial metal track Jerk - Sucked In.

This track was released in 2003 on the album When Pure Is Defiled. It also made an appearance in the game Need for Speed: Underground as well as even the Game Boy Advance version if you can believe that.

The track starts off with a non-lyrical vocal. After that, th

Back in 2005 after I learned of Will Eisner's passing I bought A Contract With God as I had always appreciated his art when I saw it but never actually read anything of his up to that point.
One of my roomies at the time saw it and said "oh, you are one of 'them'".
I think as in now that he's dead i'm jumping on the bandwagon or something. Some sort of throwaway, toxic, hipster comment that I still think about to this day. #jerk

#AlternateFridayMusic for May 9, theme #Jerk

This is one of my own songs, You Believed It Yourself, https://sockpuppet.band/track/you-believed-it-yourself

The song is from the point of view of a jerk who feels entitled to the time and attention of his unrequited love interest, who repeatedly makes it clear she doesn’t want anything to do with him but does so via a series of brush-off clichés that the jerk doesn’t understand. He’s also probably stalking her.

Caesar’s Palace, “Jerk It Out” from "Love for the Streets" 2002

This track is utterly, totally derivative of #60s early psychedelia, and utterly, totally perfect, from the swirling #Farfisa #organ out front to those shakers chasing and spicing the beat.

You may know this Swedish band as #Caesars but they originally recorded under the name Caesar’s Palace (with a couple of US releases as The Twelve Caesars).

This track first appeared on their 2002 release Love for the Streets, and they wisely included it on the rebranded band’s ‘debut’ album “Paper Tigers” in 2005, where it’s most widely available (albeit not on the sole vinyl release, nor the Swedish CD).

I knew them first from Paper Tigers, #PowerPop that makes it hard to sit still, with some of their earlier, grittier #GarageRock feel still intact. Whatever the name, wherever you find them, these guys get the job done.

Song: Jerks of Attention
By: Jebediah
Link: https://youtu.be/VP-FMlQMmMc

🎶 There is no pain, my body's drained
I never should have had that fourth slice straight
We gathered round the lost and found
But my jerks of attention let me down

I took the first one
And I pulled it back
And what was once green
Had all turned black, it all turned black
And there was nothing left to say 🎶

🎶 Dylan Thomas was a piss head
Jackson Pollock was a prick
Norman Mailer hates women
It's an end of season trip

Heroes seem so from a far
But if you meet 'em you'll think twice
Genius is different from the rest of us
Most Of Us Are Nice! 🎶

Being a #jerk can get you short-term results. But it’s likely to hurt you in the long run

@NewtonMark @daedalus This is good but also
(1) BRS commits war crimes
(2) Mick Keelty tips off BRS about the investigation
(3) The AFP refuses the FOI request
(4) Court appeal about the refusal of the FOI request is successful
That puts us what, 4 layers deep. In derivatives nomenclature I believe we can say this represents a change in the jerk. #jerk

In the fall of 1972, when campaigning for a second term in office, 🇺🇸 U.S. President Richard Nixon announced that the rate of increase of inflation was decreasing, which has been noted as "the first time a sitting president used the third derivative to advance his case for reelection."

This means that the "jerk (3rd derivative)" of the price level is negative.

Equivalently, the "jerk" of purchasing power is positive.

In other words, the "acceleration" of inflation is negative.

\[I(t)=\alpha^2\dfrac{\mathrm dP(t)}{\mathrm dt}=-\beta^2\dfrac{\mathrm d\Pi(t)}{\mathrm dt}>0\]

\[\dfrac{\mathrm dI(t)}{\mathrm dt}=\alpha^2\dfrac{\mathrm d^2P(t)}{\mathrm dt^2}=-\beta^2\dfrac{\mathrm d^2\Pi(t)}{\mathrm dt^2}>0\]
\[\dfrac{\mathrm d^2I(t)}{\mathrm dt^2}=\alpha^2\dfrac{\mathrm d^3P(t)}{\mathrm dt^3}=-\beta^2\dfrac{\mathrm d^3\Pi(t)}{\mathrm dt^3}<0\]

where, \(I(t)\), \(P(t)\), and \(\Pi(t)\) are inflation (rate), price level (function), and purchasing power of money (or simply value of money) at time \(t\) respectively. And \(\alpha^2\) and \(\beta^2\) are positive real constants.
