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 love the way the stair gate rounds of the prison cell vibe
TBH I think a duvet would spoil the glorious austerity of this beautiful Christmas scene #DuvetKnowItsChristmas

This is the 15th year of #DuvetKnowItsChristmas, which is preposterous. Rules: if you find yourself dealing with unusual / claustrophobic / gaudy sleeping arrangements this Christmas Eve, share a picture with the world. Use the hashtag (with capitalisation) and cc me if you can be bothered.

The complete Bayeux Tapestry has finally been released and proves that Bishop Odo had absolutely nothing to do with the illegal Norman invasion of England.

Greater Manchester has been the fastest growing part of the country in the past decade – measured either by total growth or by productivity growth. I’ve had a look into the data to try to work out what is growing and why.
Below are some of the things I have found.

I agree entirely with Richard Masters. Clubs should be banned from pre/post season “tours”, there should be fewer matches in the Champions League, the other two European Cups should be axed and the Club World Cup abandoned. Easy

I always enjoy reading the TripAdvisor London Forum because I'm fascinated to see what foreign tourists expect, what they ask about and what surprises them. I thought this post from someone from Texas was a really lovely and cheering comment about riding the tube late at night

It's because they're creating reality on the fly. As far as the model is concerned, what it told you is the most probable truth, and it's quite hard to force a reset mid conversation. It has no concept of reality other than the one it has hallucinated.
