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.

@tkingfisher.com Otter Run Kennel is doing a fundraiser because their snow mobile blew up - and their shirts are straight out of _The Raven and the Reindeer_.

Any chance you could give them a boost? 😆 More people should have otters in sled harness shirts, after all.

This song doesn't necessarily have the weirdness I've come to love from Atarashii Gakko!, but it's lyrically a positive end of the year into the new year song.

Reading Chinese webnovels has made the gap between human and machine translation hilariously apparent to me. Also watching romantic period microdramas because the Chinese version of "comrade" now means gay/homosexual.
AND ANOTHER THING, WHILE I'M AT IT:

ENOUGH WITH THESE BULLSHIT CLAIMS THAT AI CAN REPLACE HUMAN TRANSLATORS!!!

Translation is *not* the science of finding the perfect definition of a word from a foreign language and putting that definition into the text.

Translators translate, of course. But!

Translation is a fucking art form, I want to tear my hair out in bloody chunks and throw it at people who don’t understand this

“Then they shouldn’t have voted for this!”

Bitch, Asheville is a blue college town and the county has gone blue for decades. I am so sick of this “if I pretend disasters only happen to red areas, it means I’m safe because I’m properly on the left!” No. You’re not safe. That’s why we save everybody.

Okay, but I love this cover of "You're A Mean One, Mr. Grinch." It's sooooo good.

This ASC2NT Christmas song takes things back to kpop's contemporary r&b roots, which is obvs very much my thing. I thought the vocals & rap were on point, & while I understand the instrumental choice... said inst takes it into generic territory.

I think it was wise of Tiger JK to hand this over to yoonmirae. They composed it together and he was the lyricist (per the description), but it wouldn't hit the way it does without those aching vocals.

Many sources, including journalists have vetted this family. They are legitimately in need of our help.

Lubna and Rami are wonderful parents to their three children. Naser has serious medical problems and requires medication which isn't cheap.

If you can, please help this family in need.
