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.

@kerrypolka.bsky.social Max Miller was doing Gingerbread in his latest Tasting History.
He had a Gingerbread Judith beheading Holofernes and I thought you should know!

I'm afraid historically whiteness can shift to mean pretty much what people in control want it to mean. If people want it to exclude the Jews then it can, if they want it to exclude the Irish it can.
I don't think that they won't take the chance to exclude anyone they don't like.

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

Feels a bit like the 19th century, when men with middle class jobs had to learn to write like a clerk, while gentlemen were expected to have unreadable handwriting.
Every office has an executive tier whose emails are like:
saw on news , , can we replce complianc dept with web 3
and a worker tier whose emails are like:
Dear Jim,
First of all, I *love* this idea! Unfortunately, I spoke with Legal and identified a few issues with this approach. For starters…

Well, it's a little clearer now why billionaires are so invested in technology that produces better written emails.

he’s a provider of access to money, connections and beautiful women and girls — everything that these people need to affirm their own status. being rich and powerful is a grift which requires other to bolster & buy in. That’s the service Epstein provided.
Something that’s so striking in these emails is how…unimpressive Epstein is. He comes off as a pompous, sub-literate lech. Yes everyone is so mortifyingly solicitous of him! All fawning and flattery! Why?????

Sorry - that really sucks. Maybe blocking those content creators, and clicking not interested like someone else said might help?
