And I folded and put them all away. I didn't leave the last one in the dryer for three business days

No. It’s based on a series of mystery novels by Tony Hillerman featuring the investigations of Jim Chee and Joe Leaphorn. Great books!
Interestingly, I played Jim Chee in the feature film The Dark Wind in the early 90s. Had the honor of meeting Tony and working with Redford.

@LouDPhillips Was Dark Winds a spin-off of Longmire?

I'm so very sorry to hear of the death of the actor Ben Keaton. I worked with him on Father Ted, where he was not only brilliant, but improvised a whole 'boring' monologue while shut in a cupboard, and greeted an antimacassar of The Sacred Heart with 'Ah, it's yourself...' 1/2

@eigenrobot Of course they did. You’ve never seen the Bayeux Tapestry?

Always fascinated how people in the middle ages for hundreds of years just lived amongst the ever decrepitating Roman ruins. It was just a part of daily life for them.

This seems like the place where the universe just collapses into nothing as vulgarity hits critical mass

@vid_hardt @EggerDC @CathyYoung63 and as I repeat to the annoyance of everyone: the 25th is temporary, can be refuted by the president, and must then be voted upon by Congress, which is an ain't-happenin' of enormous proportions.
English
@offhandmanor1 @EggerDC @CathyYoung63 It's not like there are extra consequences once he gets to 20%. And with Peter Thiel controlling Vance's strings nothing about invoking the 25th Amendment suggests improvement.

If you want to understand just how cooked Trump is just think about everything that's happened with Iran in the last couple weeks and then realize he's still doing better on Iran than he is on the economy.

"Madman theory never really works. But we have a president who gives us all of the obvious drawbacks and none of the purported benefits—who shakes the global economy around like a rag doll yet whose bluffs remain easy for our adversaries to predict."

@fugitiveink @StephenOld Winder, which has a long I, and Bogart which is pronounced like the actor but was being mangled nevertheless
English
@offhandmanor1 @StephenOld That’s a rather beautiful and moving little story - I am now trying to imagine which GA place names were being mangled.
English
Thank you! And you're right about Cley, which leads many unwary visitors astray (or should that be "a-straɪ" ???)
English
@StephenOld @fugitiveink You are all delighting me. Eons ago I commuted to DC by bus; in the evening a long-distance bus to my native GA was called just before mine. Eventually the pain became too great & I spoke to the announcer, who had been mangling local names & adding immeasurably to my homesickness
English
@fugitiveink I am a linguist and I loved all the names in Norfolk which were traps for the non-natives: Wymondham, Happisburgh, Stiffkey, Costessey, Tacolneston and probably others which I have forgotten.

The all caps, and the bizarre spelling mistakes, tell you he’s in a particularly stable frame of mind.

I think we're a long way from "a complete and total resolution of our hostilities in the Middle East." Both the U.S. and #Iran's regime have vastly different conceptions as to what constitutes "a complete and total resolution of our hostilities in the Middle East." At least publicly, the U.S. demands are nowhere in the same ballpark as the Islamic Republic's demands. America's demands are a form of regime change on paper. Tehran's demands--guarantees, compensation, closure of American bases--are non-starters. And it's hard to envision this current regime agreeing to limitations on its missile program, which has now surpassed the nuclear file as the top concern, especially in the region. Meanwhile, thousands of U.S. Marines are still en route to the Middle East--which is an important signpost.

You need to watch Kenneth Clark’s 1969 docuseries, Civilisation. He covers the fall of Rome up to the mid 20th century. It’s 13 parts and 11 hours long, but it’s incredible.

A happy update and photo from my son! @JoeyNB_COS and his beautiful bride are married! Although none of our family could attend their wedding, we were able to watch via a livestream at 1am on Monday here in Australia and early Sunday morning for my parents in the US. There was a small but joyful group at the synagogue and I am deeply grateful that my son and his now wife (!!) were surrounded by love and the usual Israeli make-this-happen spirit. Thank you from all of us for your beautiful wishes and messages of support ❤️🙏🏽✡️
For the machers in my feed, a special thank you!
