In Jan 1969, Andy van Dam thought it would be clever to write the first press release about the new ‘Hypertext Editing System’ on HES itself. We did so.

Two days later, the UPI wire published this. It was picked up by the New York Times and over 200 news organizations in the US and Europe.

@HannahHowe Wow…it took #chutzpah to put his name in larger letters than #johnwayne ‘s. #JoanneDru was born in #westvirginia and is the #sister of #gameshow host #petermarshall

I can think of no better definition of #chutzpah, aka unmitigated gall.

OK, here’s a new definition of “#chutzpah”.
Sister in law’s husband just died after long struggle with cancer. She’s been running herself ragged for the last few months caring for him, working full time (from home, a small mercy), and the last few weeks he was in home hospice care, where she was providing constant support while watching the man she loved inexorably die. You got all that? Oh. Ver. Whelmed.

So, yesterday, he passed. She plans a cremation and no funeral, maybe a memorial in the future when she can deal with it.

Other sister in law (I am married to the third sister) calls her, first, to complain about having to hear about it on social media instead of, I dunno, getting a singing telegram, and second, to ask the widow to schedule the funeral so she (other sister) could arrange her bereavement leave to get a 5-day weekend.

If there’s *another* death in the family, no jury would convict.

#Chutzpah is going to the psychiatrist because of a split personality and asking for a group rate.

It's amazing, the #chutzpah of the #GQP and their constant whining about #stolenelection and #electionfraud - when time and time again it's the GQP getting busted voting illegally...

"Sinema was said to be so committed to her workouts that, ahead of trips, she would make aides check if hotels’ swimming pools had the exact right dimensions for her training purposes—a task that could consume hours."

1987 Washington Post review of #julianschnabel show in the #preinternet era, bombast still worked. The text seems naive today, but it's kind of refreshing to think of a time when it seemed #art and #painting still mattered. Schnabel may be great at self promotion and a subpar #painter but you gotta admire his #chutzpah #neoexpressionism https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/1987/11/19/schnabel-signifying-what-in-ny-an-artists-brazenness-in-too-vivid-display/2b12ef31-7787-4101-98c2-a1a32528fe72/

Yes! The struggle has already begun to stiffen resolve to maintain sanctions for decades unless #Muscovy credibly does a #Japan/#Germany'esque Mea Culpa. #Chutzpah of current #Russian "liberals" looking for a marshall plan doesn't bode well though for prospect of their self-awareness. https://mastodon.world/@decodingtrolls/109408333606340794

@Simon I once carried a friend's bike into a police station and asked to use their bolt croppers. "Is that your bike?" "Actually, no".
No further questions, copper was on the phone while I cropped the lock and left. #chutzpah
