When I was a kid I originally saw part of entry #11 of #MusicAll January 🎼 PURPLE RAIN (1984) 📽️ with my parents at the drive-in, which was included in a triple feature but we left early because of Apollonia’s titties 🍒
I think this is the best movie soundtrack of all-time

So TikTok was initially going to be banned for “national security concerns” because it’s owned by a Chinese company but now it’s no longer an issue because it’s being sold to a company owned by the country who orchestrated the 9/11 attacks 🤨

Entry #10 of #MusicAll January 🎼 was FIDDLER ON THE ROOF (1971) 📽️ and the running time is 3 minutes longer than LOTR: FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING (2001) which is TOO DAMN LONG‼️
Good story with some ok songs but it’s better to go see a live production, I think the film is overrated.

BREAKING: X’s chatbot Grok isn’t just making AI porn deepfakes, it’s now making Nazi AI porn deepfakes, undressing women and showing them wearing “swastika bikinis”. Many of these women are Jewish, including a recently deceased Holocaust survivor.

A reminder: An eponym is something named after a person. A surprising eponym is just that: Something we generally assume isn’t named for a person.
