Controversial take but I agree that if you have even center left politics you should be barefoot wearing a barrel with suspenders. You should have a wallet with a single moth and nothing else in it. You should be slicing up a single bean paper thin and eating it slowly on a trash can lid

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)
Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.
I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

I have so much to say about James Ransone, his immense talent, the joy of working with him, his troubles, his struggles, his friendship. But I've had a long day on the road and I just want to say a heartfelt THANK YOU to every one of you who reached out, called, texted, or said kind words about PJ.

Like most, I first saw James Ransone on The Wire, & Generation Kill. I loved him on those shows, and was always happy to see him in something, from Sinister to Tangerine to It. A reliably twitchy and fun character actor. Capable of playing it funny, or tragically sad, sometimes at the same time.

Chic hits #1 today in 1978 with “Le Freak”, a song originally titled “F**k Off!” — and written after the band was turned away by the bouncers at Studio 54.
“We go back to my apartment really pissed off,” said Nile Rodgers, “and Bernard starts singing, ‘Ahhh, f**k off!’ .. and that became the hook.”

Your fellow reporter just got blasted on national TV by the president of the United States as "obnoxious" and "terrible" -- and you follow it up with a crappy question about the midterms, which are 11 months away.
You might want to think about another line of work. You aren't cut out for this.
