"THE SWIMMER [1968] is a surreal, unsettling, and highly stylized masterpiece, featuring an unforgettable performance by Burt Lancaster, and directed by Frank Perry. It is based on the 1964 short story of the same title by author John Cheever.

It follows a man’s delusional journey across suburban pools, which serves as a profound allegory for the decline of the American Dream, personal failure, and the loss of youth.

A "suburban odyssey" that blends a dreamy, sunny aesthetic with dark, psychological undercurrents, it acts as a blistering satire of upper-middle class affluence, vanity and denial. The film is known for its dream-like, sometimes disjointed narrative, with some viewers seeing it as an interpretation of the descent into Hell."

@keylargofoley @keylargofoley to. Please help. SOS. I’m a loyal Peloton member having had the bike for 2 years. I sent you a detailed email days ago and so did my husband @Spacedowntown

[sharon shapiro @sharonshapiro]

@keylargofoley @keylargofoley please read your emails, the customer service at @onepeloton is a joke. I’ve been trying to get my tread replaced that @XPOLogistics damaged in delivery on 10/25
Nothing but false promises, deception and outright lies from everyone I’ve spoken

[sharon shapiro @sharonshapiro]

@me_varna @onepeloton luck trying to win the lottery than getting @onepeloton to make it right. #pelotonsupport #onepeloton #xpologistics

[sharon shapiro @sharonshapiro]

@me_varna @onepeloton 100%. @onepeloton has been doing nothing but being dishonest with me since 10/25, the day my tread was delivered. It was damaged during install and the @XPOlogistics guys just left after they tried to hide the fact that they stripped the wires in the handrail. I'd have better

[sharon shapiro @sharonshapiro]

@erikhash @carljsamuelson @onepeloton two years. I'd also like to know how long it takes to get the refund. There are other treadmills out there and won't cost me endless hours spent on the phone with pleasant liars.

[sharon shapiro @sharonshapiro]

@erikhash @carljsamuelson @onepeloton I have almost the exact same same nightmare story as you, except mine has been going on since October 25th. I'm also giving up and asking for a refund. @onepeloton has been terrible with all of this! coming from someone who logged 982 rides on the bike today that I've had for 2

[sharon shapiro @sharonshapiro]

@angelinejohns they are the worst. And so is Peloton. They cover for each other, use stall tactics, and false promises. After so much time wasted, I want @onepeloton to have someone from @XPOLogistics come and get my #brokentread that was damaged by @XPOLogistics in delivery on October 25th.

@GHardstark those oatmeal creme pies that you have in your drawer!

Genuinely unsure whether impeachment/conviction or a Twitter ban is in Trump’s mind a worse punishment.

This is so sad but so true
Stephen Colbert gets it absolutely right - what Trump said & does diminishes America & diminishes democracy

Our leaders need to condemn it

“I take full responsibility. It's not my fault” is quite a closing argument.

“Four hundred million dollars is a peanut,” says President Trump, in an election where both campaigns are trying to win over middle class voters.

[Ari Fleischer @AriFleischer]

I just switched to NBC since ABC is in a commercial. Savanah Guthrie has interrupted Trump in these 60 seconds more than Stephanopulos has done to Biden in 40 mins. NBC is an interrogation. ABC is a picnic.
