@SarahIronside6 @TognaBologna666 The "controversy" is manufactured by the corporate media who do the bidding of corporate donors who want to make sure people they can't control get nowhere close to power.

Platner voters are doing better, by voting for him and ignoring the likes of you.

@timjfbutler @cenkuygur @MarcoFoster_ @grahamformaine He didn’t say it’s a zero sum game, he said they are directly connected. Which they are.

@QuintusCurtius Catcher is a masterpiece. You don’t get it because Holden is making fun of the likes of you.

@kyzyltea @dokjaphobic There’s no rape marital or otherwise in this book. You completely misread something.

@JoyceCarolOates “Allen's disgruntlement that he isn't taken seriously as these great filmmakers”…what?

Allen champions Bergman and Fellini and never suggested he should be considered as great as them. And the character in Stardust Memories is fictional.

@vitale1776 @mtracey Widely known among people who know a lot about Nazi iconography, a tiny percentage of the population, you gaslighting troglodyte.

[Jim Morgan @JimMorgan11]

@LrnrzPrmt2Kll @mtracey Yes, because he saw Schindler’s List and memorized the iconography from it, definitely. Everyone does that.

@JoyceCarolOates One of my favorite films of all time. It's a masterpiece of dreamy nightclub moodiness.

You gave up after that incredible opening sequence? What?

[Jim Morgan @JimMorgan11]

@mtracey There's a reason the media generally isn't showing the tattoo. Everyone would be like "wait, that's all it is?"

[Jim Morgan @JimMorgan11]

@luxeprogressive He’s fantastic. Tbh.

@JoelSchamber @EmmaVigeland Keep ignoring policy platforms? Sure

@SamBuntz Bloom was completely wrong about Steinbeck. He had his blind spots.

@CulturedChem @tobiaschneider This is a broad generalization. Teachers can enforce standards (I'm a teacher so I speak with some authority) but it can be difficult depending on many variables.

[Jim Morgan @JimMorgan11]

@CulturedChem @tobiaschneider This is not the fault of high school teachers. College professors have been lazily assuming that everyone is doing the reading for years.

[Jim Morgan @JimMorgan11]

@DCBiddle @JoyceCarolOates Hence literary fiction is in the state it’s in.

[Jim Morgan @JimMorgan11]

@poeticdweller 1) It's not true that "anyone can read novels and poetry." Reading complex literature from different times and places is challenging. 2) Much theory is poorly written slop masking vacuous and superficial ideology. 3) Even the good theory needs primary sources with it.

[Jim Morgan @JimMorgan11]

@shawpwhat @JoyceCarolOates The problem is that the theory is presented as central. The literature itself is relegated to the background. That's backwards.
