"Lee," about the life of the American photographer Lee Miller, is a fine film. It ends in the horror of the death camps at the end of WW2 and you can't help thinking, this America could end the same way. Because there are no limits for Trump and Musk. No line they will not cross. - ThreadSky

Have you read this piece? It helped my mind. (Even if it talks about the probable horrific times coming). I recommend it.

Dude is channeling Hunter S. Thompson. (When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.) A gonzo balm for the troubled soul.

No I haven't. Thanks Lea.

A lot of people I know are struggling with all this. My sister was a delegate to the Democratic Convention. She's shattered.

Send her the piece too, it reminded me we have to keep our humanity. They are aiming to rid us of it. Because they have none. (Those cowards).

jacktodd.bsky.social•92 days ago

I will. And yes, they are cowards before everything.

I was somehow disappointed by the movie. I would have liked it to show that it is people like Trump and his team of « yes man » that lead to civil war. To me there was not enough on the mechanic that lead to that war.

jacktodd.bsky.social•92 days ago

The movie had nothing to do with that or with Trump because Lee Miller wasn't part of it. It was a movie about her, not Hitler's rise to power.

Damn! I had Civil War in mind… m’y bad!

mkimanderson.bsky.social•92 days ago

Watched it Friday night. It’s excellent

jacktodd.bsky.social•92 days ago

Yes it is. Remarkable woman, Lee Miller.
I knew of her from researching something on Picasso. She was in his group of friends.

You know, it fits. There seems to be some version of gravity that pulls remarkable people like that into each other’s orbit BTW, I see we share the same opinion of Bill Guerin
