I’ve watched the film twice and this is the first time I’m realising the amazing visual joke of putting a basketball hoop right in front of that window. Cancel the oscars, we’re done here.
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.

really great thread on something I’d always been aware of about myself but couldn’t have described this precisely 🧵
An interesting aspect of having cyclical strong interests, is that over time you repeatedly find yourself returning to something you haven't touched in a while. Almost like clockwork.

“fucking’s back on the menu, boys!”
The Lord of The Rings movies were rated PG-13. By current rules that means that each film could contain one use of the word "Fuck". Which line are you altering to insert the most useful swear word?

I want employers to know that, in solidarity with workers, if a store employee makes eye contact with me for any reason I will leave the store
"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.

They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.

If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."

🙄 Won't stop the boycott, y'all.
Target is now requiring its employees to smile more
As the holiday season fast approaches, Target is urging its employees to add a little more “jolly” to their work routine.

Tiny Tims who die are all alike; every Tiny Tim who did NOT die is alive in his own way
And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, fled across the desert and the Gunslinger followed.
And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, is in a desert walking along in the sand when all of the sudden you look down, and you see a tortoise. You reach down, you flip the tortoise over on its back. The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun beating its legs trying to turn itself over but

I’m so fortunate to be able to hear native birdsong from my house in the city. Having said that, there is a tūī near my house that has been making the same noise every five seconds or so for the last three days, starting around 5am.
