 The Heiress (1949) Exceptionally good movie for its realism. The TCM host did a poor review. She interviewed black women, and they all concluded the movie had to do with body image. Their review was strictly political. True, the star is a woman, but the theme applies equally to men and women. The theme is, “You came of age and lost your innocence.” Once I was young and easy-on-the-eyes. I was not wanted for my money, no, but for what I could do, the doors I could open, and the help I could give. TCM has fallen to the falsities of the new culture.

Dr. Anthony Fauci allegedly justified experimenting on contagious viruses as worth the risk of a laboratory accident, such as a global pandemic, in an American Society for Microbiology analysis in October 2012 [which defended the controversial practice of researching various viruses to increase their transmissibility, ostensibly to better defend against them], according to a report from The Australian. If you think I am paranoid about social media and the pelvic left, consider the fact I was banned from Facebook for three weeks. Why? I posted this: "The 2020 election was pitiful." The first algorithm was election. I know there is an algorithm for COVID, too. The first algorithm sent me to the second algorithm. It contained a list of negative words. How many, I don't know. It could contain hundreds of words. "Pitiful" is one of them. I verified the ban with a friend on Facebook. I asked her what was the date of the last post she could see, which was ten days prior. The ban lasted from a date in December 2020 until a date in January 2021, exactly three weeks. Facebook isn't so smart. The ban could have been eight or nine days, and I would have been less suspicious.
If you like French films, I recommend three French Art House films: The Diary of a Country Priest (1951), The Dialogue of the Carmelites (1960), and Léon Morin, Priest (1961). They have English subtitles. Dialogue is set during the French Revolution and stars Alida Valli, and the other two are contemporary.
If you like movies set in San Francisco, I recommend The House on Telegraph Hill (1951), a murder mystery starring Valentina Cortese. Telegraph gave me the idea for a switcheroo in Pretty City Murder. It is a thing to be corrected, typically an error in a printed book or online posting. Corrigendum originates from the Latin word corrigere, which means to “bring into order.” If there is one in my stories or blog, let me know.

Digerati Tech-savvy folks consider themselves part of the digerati — a term referring to the elite of digitalization. Cybersquatting Internet domain names, a hot commodity, fetch big bucks. Savvy investors have snapped up domain names with no intent of building a site with them — instead, they cybersquat, hoping for an investor to pay big bucks to own a stellar dot-com domain. Nagware If you have ever installed a free piece of software only to have it remind you again and again through pop-ups or banners to install a paid version of the program, you’ve encountered nagware. The source is the verb "nag" — meaning to bother or implore. |
