DER GOLEM (d. Carl Boese, 1920)

Then say that. There are a whole lot of Americans who are well spoken in their own dialects and/or standard American English.

Which Americans? Would you say that about people who speak Black English?

Well, there is English English and then there is American English. While quite similar, the American version is a dialect of the English version with its own idioms and meanings.

In Illinois, you can sign to have someone take your ballot to a dropbox. The information is right on the envelope. I presume you could be the designate for numerous voters this way if you take the time to follow the instructions.

I LOVE this film.

This is a brilliant tweet. So ahead of its time.

She meant only on the street, not anywhere else.

“I don’t want to be working in ballet or opera," Chalamet said. "Things where it’s like, Hey, keep this thing alive, even though no one cares about this anymore.”

Oops. “All respect to the ballet and opera people out there," he said, "Damn, I just took shots for no reason.”

Why? Cause he's stupid.

Making flying great again, one deep-sixed shmuck at a time.

Why is my timeline suddenly filled with war and administration news? I don't want this!

I honestly think Soderbergh is the best American director working today. The variety of the films he's made, the risks he's taken, and the skill he displays always inspire me.

Don't listen to or believe any polls.

Vote early.
Get your friends to vote early.

Cause SCOTUS is going to be up to some bullshit.

Choosing the most unqualified people in the country to run the country is the playbook of a regime that wants democratic government to fail. #AbolishDHS

I've probably hit that number. Spread out over more than six decades, that' seems reasonable.

We're not broken. We're in transition. You can't go through a true cultural transformation without pain. The old white European order in the U.S. is fading as women, people of color, indigenous Americans, and other traditionally oppressed people assert their rights.

Very nice. I like the sort of fun vibe you've given this bird.

I used to have to go to another state to see them. Now, they are in nearby ponds. I even saw one on a transmission tower two blocks from me. It's so great sharing my world with them.

Bald eagle?

"To help offset the rising operational costs affecting the restaurant industry (food, beverage, labor, benefits, supplies), a 4% surcharge will be added to each check. We do this in lieu of increased menu prices." In other words, we're raising prices but trying to fool you that we're not. #Deception

Does it matter? This administration just likes to blow things up.

Have you written to your local TV and radio stations, your newspapers, corporate offices of media companies. Just being shocked means nothing if you don't complain about it. You'd boycott an advertiser, right? So do this, too. #Complaint

I'm a big fan of Went the Day Well directed by Cavalcanti. www.imdb.com/title/tt0035...

1. Casablanca (1942) By Marilyn Ferdinand Louis, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship. Although director Michael Curtiz and the rest of the team involved with making Casablanca could not have known i…

My essay on Casablanca. Rather proud of it: wondersinthedark.wordpress.com/2014/10/06/1...

The "under God" part bothers me. We atheists don't belong either.

Really? I have monovision. Nobody ever told me it was rare. And yes, I did have to get glasses because we dry up as we age, which affects the shape of the eye.

The senator has to be confirmed by the Senate, right?

I very much distrust people who stereotype anyone. If you can believe that Americans are shitty and stupid, I'm sure you can find a way to believe that about anyone you disagree with.

Not unintelligent. Made ignorant by education erosion and mis-/disinformation on the internet.
