Hey, sorry for how I acted when our plans changed slightly. So long as everything from here on out goes exactly as I’ve planned forever, I won’t be like that again
The strong religious sentiment in the South is such a great organizing point! These people see the struggle and they want to alleviate that, as commanded by their Creator. Organize with them!
'Escalate,' as in "tensions escalate," comes from the word 'escalator.'
It first appeared in print in 1944.

“You wake up in Chicago, pull back the curtain, and you KNOW where you are. You could be nowhere else. You are in a big, brash, muscular, broad shouldered motherfuckin’ city. A metropolis, completely non-neurotic, ever-moving, big hearted but cold blooded machine with millions of moving parts — a beast that will, if disrespected or not taken seriously, roll over you without remorse. It is, also, as I like to point out frequently, one of America’s last great NO BULLSHIT zones. Pomposity, pretentiousness, putting on airs of any kind, douchery and lack of a sense of humor will not get you far in Chicago. It is a trait shared with Glasgow — another city I love with a similar working class ethos and history.Chicago is a town, a city that doesn’t ever have to measure itself against any other city. Other places have to measure themselves against it. It’s big, it’s outgoing, it’s tough, it’s opinionated, and everybody’s got a story." - Anthony Bourdain.
