In 1863 The Evans Brothers got the contract for the furniture in the Ladies Hall of Oberlin college.
If anyone has furniture that at least in families oral history comes from the Ladies Hall., the Wilson Bruce Evans Historical Society would be interested in seeing it.

shard of plate celebrating the martyrdom of Elijah Lovejoy, an abolitionist printer who was killed and had his press burned in 1837. Apparently plateware memorializing him as “Martyr of Liberty’ produced in 1840s.

In one of the Sammy Davis Jr books the claim is made that the Defiant Ones was originally supposed to be an Elvis/Sammy vehicle but Colonel Tom nixed it. Movie wouldn’t have been as good but it would have been incredible.
What's the movie that almost got made but never came together that you're bummed about?

Mine is the William Gains biopic Philip Seymour Hoffman was trying to get made

"hardly anyone listened to the John Cale / Charli XCX collab, but everyone who did went on to direct an adaptation of Wuthering Heights" - Brian Eno
A new John Cale/Charli xcx banger that everyone likes being the result of a Wuthering Heights adaptation everyone preemptively hates is delicious.

Has someone asked menswear guy what coin we should be putting in our loafers in future?

How do we film another Romeo & Juliet movie when they died at the end of the last one?

It is fucking James Bind, no one expects continuity . Comic book nerds are idiots

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

I drive a CRV not a Civic that had wheel fly off lIke a year and half ago .

I love the first sentence “manufacturing defect that can cause the wheels to detach, increasing the risk of a crash”

Increasing risk of crash?

Honda recalls more than 406,000 vehicles because wheels can come off
Honda said a manufacturing defect can lead to the aluminum alloy wheels detaching from some vehicles.

This is so well done…
I am very grateful to The Attic for allowing me to get some things off my chest.
If I never get to write my Let Us Now Praise Famous Men, this will hold the place for where it would have been.
It's the basis for the shows I'll be doing in the EU starting next week.

Aventura never getting a Grammy nomination while selling out Yankee Stadium because they weren’t merengue or salsa and there wasn’t a category for what they were doing is my favorite ‘why having lots of categories matter’ stories. Joy of Grammys is ignoring Big 4 for the million other categories
