As many as there are, Jean Renoir's¹ epic: Grand Illusion (1939), is in a class *utterly by itself*... Chef's 😘 It is, sadly sad sad to say, again all-too goose-bumps-prescient. ¹The Master's grandson... who takes an *hilarious* cameo turn in a Shakespeare-ish entr'acte.

If you're entirely focused on Biden's debate performance, you're missing the real story. Yesterday's SCOTUS decision *fundamentally* changed the nature of the presidency -- and the nation.

To shed a somewhat different light on this: Hey Ahab ...by Elton John & Leon Russell (on their collaboration album, The Union). This rocker imagines Ahab's psyche. Turn the volume way up.

It's part of the fight that has gone back and forth for 246 years. It's a defining difference between the conservative right and the progressive left. One wants to stay in the 1700s and the other wants to evolve. One wants white male dominance and the other wants free equality for everyone.

These “both parties are the same” idiots need to shut the fuck up and read some history. But they won’t. And they won’t. And even if they did their idiotic and dangerous smugness would continue unabated. 🤬

Are there others with you who are also learning English? Many of my exercises are *2 students; just 1 pen/paper* This builds Speaking Skills. Many, many exercises involve listening to (old) popular music... for example, The Dangling Conversation, by Simon & Garfunkel. (go have a listen!)

My German is like your English!! 😁 However, my wife speaks German! I have an MATESOL. I earned my degree in large part by devising effective, casual, and FUN instructional techniques and materials, which I would be *more than happy* to... dust off and share with you. (my CA students 😍ed them!)
