The French restaurant across the alley from me lost my business because they threw buckets of soapy water into the alley—which created ice floes in the winter and slippery hazards otherwise. They eventually closed.

I promise no one is going to make you eat it. And no Jews are forcing it on anyone.

I love everything about this movie. Captures all the post-war demographic changes and war trauma through small scale story telling.

I hear you. Maybe we should give ourselves a daily despair moment (5min?) and then focus on the other stuff the rest of the time. Have no idea if this would help!

It’s ridiculously hard especially as they seem to be amping up for a round of blacklisting. But I keep reminding myself that trump and most of his policies are incredibly unpopular. The current regime cannot survive indefinitely.

Yes Hammett was a terser and tighter writer. The Thin Man is a pure delight and the film version is also nearly perfect. Since Humphrey Bogart played both Spade and Marlow the confusion is understandable!
