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.

The Second-Order Streisand Effect is a social phenomenon where if a party makes an effort to censor information, discussion and news about the censorship paradoxically leads to an increased awareness of Barbara Streisand, a musician whom most "Zoomers" would probably have otherwise never heard of

This, combined with "vice signaling" (taking pride in antisocial behavior) has given us the reign of the Stupid Asshole, something most people are against, but can only be remedied if we're not too polite to talk about it
An essential development over the past decade-plus is that the ignorant went from feeling chastened when their ignorance was revealed to banding together and deciding that, actually, they were right. They might disagree at times, but they agreed that ignorance itself was an indicator of trust.

LA: We're working hard to prepare for the "transit-first" megaevents that will bring literally millions of people from all over the world to navigate our city without cars
Also LA: We're building brand-new sidewalks you can only use one person at a time

Yes, the city needs to actually repave streets. Yes, the city needs to repair sidewalks. Yes, the city needs to install curb ramps.
But the bigger problem is that when LA decides to do anything at all to "help" pedestrians, the result looks like this complete and utter bullshit

If you aren't utilising Paddington's role as the Angel of Death, please don't waste my time.
Social media is full of clickbait designed to divide and demean. Rather than walk away and let that fester, offer the alternative.

How could it possibly do this when it is a plausibility generator? Why would I want the most likely sounding response if I am supposedly 'using it as a dialogic thinking space' why would I want any of it??? Why do you think it is possible to improve cognition by doing less of it? I do not get this.
If you use it as a dialogic thinking space where you externalities thought and use it to hold, reshape, question, extent, perturb your thinking. Just like a good teacher or mentor could, except you need to set and guide the interaction style.

Happy birthday to Ivor The Engine, the little Welsh railway engine from the Merioneth and Llantisilly Rail Traction Company, who first appeared on our screens today in 1959. Toot-toot!
