The way it happened was horrible. It'll take a while to get over that public humiliation by supposed friends and allies, and I'll always feel sorry that Biden gave it his all for them and for us and was treated in such disrespectful ways. But I'm a realist and monsters are at the gate. We MUST help Kamala win.

I'll be writing about it tomorrow, too. I'm going to need to sleep on it.

Thank you, Susan, for your commitment and your efforts. We can do this!

The announcement was like an earthquake. Then came discussions on TV and Zoom calls and donations by small donors totalling huge sums and 28,000 people volunteering in 24 hours to help the campaign (without a call for volunteers, just wanting to be part of something).

And something that had flittered away over the past month - a new Hope.

I hate how President Biden was treated by the media and by his colleagues (and if we did not need a free press I would curse it), but Joe is a hero, putting his country and its people first.

Thank you, Joe!

“I promise to get back to erotic thrillers tomorrow.”

Presumed Innocent the TV Series is really good. It took me a few episodes before I was hooked. Peter Sarsgaard and Bill Camp are especially good as characters to hate and love. I have no idea about the finale.

Have you seen the Bikeriders? I liked it a lot.

No, haven’t seen it. Been immersed in the erotic thrillers. Can you say a bit more about it? Where is it streaming? (P.S. Agree that Sarsgaard and Camp are highlights of the series.)

It's about a biker gang in the late 1960s/early '70s. It's like a Scorsese film that's been edited down to a taut 2 hours. Jodi Comer is excellent as the female lead. Tom Hardy is also great as the gang leader. it's just pure fun, well executed.
