the way basic human decency hits these days is crazy
So the streamer Ludwig recently found out that one of his earliest regular viewers, who was trans, passed away and tonight he's doing a charity stream for the Trevor Project. So far he's raised over $46,000 in about 5 hours. www.twitch.tv/ludwig

HBO Max added 30 classic crime films in Nov — from proto-noirs like THE PUBLIC ENEMY (1931) to essentials like OUT OF THE PAST (1947).
Including their Criterion titles, they now have nearly 100 pre-1960 noirs.
There’s even a dedicated #Noirvember section. (New adds in alt text.) #FilmSky #FilmNoir
