As always, I recommend people be skeptical of influencer marketing like this. Don't let people leverage parasocial relationships, trust, and political identity to sell you things that ultimately aren't in your best interest. And question the integrity of those those who do.

The image on the cover of a German film program Film-Kurier, 1930 for the version titled Hai-Tang (1930). The film was shot in German, French and English with three different supporting casts. Anna May spoke all three languages fluently and starred in all of them.

Certain smells, such as Bandaids and pencil crayons, transport me back to childhood.
Our latest study showed that taste and smell were both found to activate a region of the brain important for taste, hunger and thirst.
Smell triggers the same brain response as taste does – even if you haven’t actually eaten anything

A regular reminder to set up a code word with your kids/elderly folk so IF they get a text message saying "this is my new number" or similar they can ask for the code word and find out if it's really you or not.
This is simple and effective in preventing the scams you see doing the rounds.

Second time this year I’ve seen a publishing house say it can’t pay authors their OWED AND EARNED ROYALTIES because that money was spent on other things and now they don’t have it. Um, wut. 📚💙

Toronto Star has a piece on Aix in what I learn is a Cézanne year: anticipating 400,000 extra tourists! Aie!
Ironic as Aix did NOT like him, nor did he like the people. They even rejected a Maillol tribute sculpture (it is still in the D’Orsay in Paris). Now? They have realized he’s worth money.

Guess who’s guest-starring on the next episode of "The Simpsons"? Tune in this Sunday, May 11, at 8pm (7pm CT) on FOX — or stream it Monday on Hulu. (Look for the episode called “Full Heart, Empty Pool.”)
