#leftish Moved to Chicago because of Nelson Algren. I've been a skinhead (not the nazi skinheads, the original kids-Flesheaters, X, Bad Religion, MDC), a writer, a designer. I've been very poor, on Welfare, then middle class, now on SSDI
@bsky.app If you live in Chicago, join tomorrow at the Edgewater Library this event is.

Join us for a special presentation with Peter Hayes, Professor Emeritus of History at Northwestern University and former chair of the Academic Committee of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.

How did we wind up with a house of just fascists? Where are the decent Republicans, the ones who still love America and the Constitution?

Government programs have saved my ass many times. Having grown up in abject poverty, it led to my being able to earn a decent living, buy a condo, and get health insurance.

Shutting down Job Corps is unconsciencable. We have to fight the oligarchs and restore democracy.

Seriously, WTF happened?
Howard Hawk directing, Ben Hecht co-writer, Cary Grant and Ginger Rogers starring, yet probably the worst movie of 1952 on Classic Movies. No wonder they keep pushing Marilyn Monroe (with a small role) as one of the stars (to attract the lecher dollar.)

Yesterday my friend took me to see Betrayal at the Goodman. Great performances and great play. I've only ever read the script.

📽️ Saw last night. It's a good yarn & and a bridge between the last Avengers and the next version. Too many scenes of faceless goons trying to kill the Captain whilst being killed by the flying shield (can't anyone choreograph novel fight scenes?) but overall, recommended for a good popcorn movie.

Does the Trump administration have a plan to pay for this?

My first movie that told a story backwards. I was sure it wouldn't work, but I was pleasantly surprised.
