Armpit farts are simulated flatulence sounds created using the hand to quickly release air trapped between the arm and the torso. Often used for humorous[1] and comedic effect[2], Armpit farts can be considered juvenile[3] or crude[4]. Flatulence related humor is the oldest recorded in the world[5].
The sound produced by armpit farting can accompany singing or other rhythm[6]

[edit]The Dirtbag Left (sometimes called the ironic left[1]) is a term coined by Amber A'Lee Frost to refer to a loose group of leftist media figures that use ironic and acerbic humor, often as a reaction against perceived tone policing by the center-left. Will Menaker has referred to the term as "...a nice way of describing a kind of scurrilous and funny approach to left-wing politics...".
Those described as members of the Dirtbag Left include the hosts of podcast Chapo Trap House and YPG volunteer fighter Brace Belden. Publications The Baffler, Street Fight Radio, and Current Affairs have also been associated with the Dirtbag Left. It has also been associated with the Democratic Socialists of America as many members of the Dirtbag Left are also members of, and have promoted, the DSA.

Mars is the focus of much scientific study about possible human colonization. Mars' surface conditions and past presence of water make it arguably the most hospitable planet in the Solar System besides Earth. Mars requires less energy per unit mass (delta-v) to reach from Earth than any planet, except Venus.
Permanent human habitation on other planets, including Mars, is one of science fiction's most prevalent themes. As technology advances, and concerns about humanity's future on Earth increase, arguments favoring space colonization gain momentum.[1][2] Other reasons for colonizing space include economic interests, long-term scientific research best carried out by humans as opposed to robotic probes, and sheer curiosity.
Both private and public organizations have made commitments to researching the viability of long-term colonization efforts and to taking steps toward a permanent human presence on Mars. Space agencies engaged in research or mission planning include NASA, Roscosmos, and the China National Space Administration. Private organizations include Mars One, SpaceX, Lockheed Martin, and Boeing.
the altar
altar
[edit]"The Altar" is a poem by the Welsh-born poet and Anglican priest George Herbert, first published in Herbert's collection The Temple. It is an example of an Altar poem and of concrete poetry. It is one of Herbert's best known poems.
Publication and shape
[edit]The Temple, the book in which the poem was first published, was only printed after Herbert's death.[3][4][5] It is the first poem in the section of the collection titled The Church, and, along with "Easter Wings" it was one of two concrete poems in the whole collection. The poem represents an altar in its shape on the page and is one of two poems written by Herbert involving altars. The other is shorter and was originally written in Greek.[6] The earlier, shorter poem provided a model for the later piece. The shorter work has been referred to as a "meditation and a prayer," and is not a concrete poem.[6]
Over the course of the poem's publication, the altar's shape has been altered reflect ecclesiastical attitudes different from those at the time The Temple's first printing.[7] Some later editions include images of altars around normally formatted text.[7]
Contents
[edit]Like the other poems in The Temple, "The Altar" is a devotional poem.[6] Herbert's earlier poems mostly expressed didactic themes.
Influence and adaptations
[edit]Beyond being emblematic of altar poetry, "The Altar" has inspired several explicitly ekphrastic poetic responses.[8][9] The piece has been set to music, most likely in an arrangement by John Playford.[10]

[edit]Bernie would have won is a meme that emerged after the 2016 United States Presidential election ended in Donald Trump's victory over Hillary Clinton.[1] The meme refers to the belief that Bernie Sanders would have become president after a hypothetical election between him and Donald Trump,[2] a belief based on both polls and conjecture.[3] The validity of these claims has been disputed.[4] Some claimed assertions that Sanders would have beaten Trump, where Clinton lost, are sexist.[weasel words] Sanders has mostly avoided commenting on the speculation.[5]

A Visit from the Goon Squad is a 2010 a Pulitzer Prize-winning work of fiction by American author Jennifer Egan. The book is a set of thirteen interrelated stories with a large set of characters all connected to Bennie Salazar, a record company executive, and his assistant, Sasha. The book centers around the mostly self-destructive characters, who, as they grow older, are sent in unforeseen, and sometimes unusual, directions by life. The stories shift back and forth in time from the late 1960s to the present and into the near future. Many of the stories take place in and around New York City, although other settings include San Francisco, Italy, and Kenya.
In addition to winning the Pulitzer Prize, the book also won the National Book Critics Circle Award for fiction in 2010. The novel received mostly positive reviews from critics.
Conception, research, and publication
[edit]Egan said the story was inspired by: Proust's In Search of Lost Time, HBO's The Sopranos, and literary theory.[4] She has said that she was inspired by the "polyphonic quality" of The Sopranos and the show's conversion of peripheral characters to central characters.
The book was originally written in reverse chronological order. One of the chapters of the book is a PowerPoint presentation. Egan read a number of corporate PowerPoint presentations in order to make hers seems more realistic, and published a full-color edition of the chapter on her website after "calibrating the hues, trying to intimate times of day, particular characters, the changing light".[5]
Style
[edit]Narrative modes
[edit]Because of its unusual narrative structure, some critics have characterized the book as a novel and others as a collection of linked short stories. A Visit from the Goon Squad has thirteen chapters, all of which can be read as individual stories, and does not focus on any single central character or narrative arc. In addition, many of the chapters were originally published as short stories in magazines such as The New Yorker[6][7][8] and Harper's. In an interview with Salon's Laura Miller, Egan said she leaned toward calling the book a novel rather than a short story collection and she has also said that she considers the book to be neither a story collection nor a novel.[9]
Themes
[edit]"Goon squads" were originally groups of violent thugs who would beat up workers trying to form labor unions. Later the term "goon" came to refer more generally to any violent thug, and the book draws its central metaphor from the term. In one story, a character named Bosco declares: "Time's a goon, right?",[10] referring to the way that time and fate cruelly rob most of the book's characters of their youth, innocence and success. As Bosco complains: "How did I go from being a rock star to being a fat fuck no one cares about?"[11] Some of the book's characters do end up finding happiness but it is always a limited happiness and it is rarely in the form that they intended. In an interview, Egan explained that "time is the stealth goon, the one you ignore because you are so busy worrying about the goons right in front of you."[11]
Many of the book's characters work in the music industry, particularly the rock music business. Rock and roll, with its emphasis on youth culture, plays into the book's themes of aging and the loss of innocence. As Egan says, "my 9-year-old loves Lady Gaga and refers to Madonna as ‘old school’. There’s no way to avoid becoming part of the past."[11] Rock music was also central to the marketing push behind the book, although the actual text does not focus directly on musicians or music making. Egan said she knew rock and roll only as a consumer at the time she began writing the book and had to extensive research on the subject.[12]
Reception
[edit]Honors and adaptation
[edit]The novel won both the 2011 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, with the committee stating that the book was "an inventive investigation of growing up and growing old in the digital age, displaying a big-hearted curiosity about cultural change at warp speed."[13] The book also won the National Book Critics Circle Award for Fiction.
On April 20, 2011, two days after the Pulitzer win, it was announced that a deal with HBO for a television series adaptation had been signed.[14] As of February 2013, and was no longer in development.[15]
Critical reception
[edit]The novel won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction and the National Book Critics Circle Award for Fiction. The Pulitzer Prize Board noted that the novel was an "inventive investigation of growing up and growing old in the digital age, displaying a big-hearted curiosity about cultural change at warp speed".[16] In commenting on her Pulitzer, NPR critic Jonathan Bastian noted that "Egan is the one of the most recent and successful examples of a trend that has been steadily seeping into the world of contemporary literature."[17] The unusual format of the novel, taking place across multiple platforms, has led some critics to label the novel "post-postmodern".[18] Many critics were impressed by Egan's experiments with structure, such as a section formatted like a PowerPoint printout.[19]

If I had been telling myself I was writing a novel I couldn’t have done a damn thing. I would have had to just stop because I knew this did not meet even my own definitions of what a novel is, in terms of providing some kind of centrality. I wanted to avoid centrality. I wanted polyphony. I wanted a lateral feeling, not a forward feeling. My ground rules were: every piece has to be very different, from a different point of view. I actually tried to break that rule later; if you make a rule then you also should break it!
