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.

It appears that the account jjajacjack.bsky.social is impersonating Larissa von Krbek vkrbek.bsky.social. I‘ve been in contact with her and she confirmed that this is not her. She reported it to Bluesky, but the account is still there, so it‘d be nice if y‘all could do the needful and report it too

Karamba Diaby: „Demokratie muss schützen, wer sie verteidigt“
Im Interview erzählt der ehemalige SPD-Bundestagsabgeordnete Karamba Diaby warum Demokratie nur funktioniert, wenn sie Menschen schützt, die sie verteidigen.
