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.

USPS quietly changed its postmark rules — mail is no longer dated when you drop it off. The “official” date is when it hits automated sorting — sometimes days later
Which could have major implications for mail in voting — it’s a clever way to disenfranchise voters that’s going largely overlooked

Trump guys on Twitter are using Grok to “hunt” daycares in their nearest city to see if there are kids in them and, if there are, if they’re Somali.

There’s a funny Politico story showing that the latest polling on AI shows 80-20 in favor of heavy regulations, an absolute slam dunk platform, but Dems are worried about not winning back mask-off tech CEO donors

I know we all know this but it is genuinely like watching a drunk child talk, and you have to just watch because the child has a live grenade
Q: Some are saying Russia's recent attacks show Putin isn't serious about peace
TRUMP: Ukraine has made some very strong attacks also. I don't say that negatively. There have been explosions in various parts of Russia. I don't think it came from the Congo. I don't think it came from the USA.

Do you know what IS effective, left-wing, and transformative? When political campaigns give millions and millions of dollars to consultants, PR firms, and professional staff.
Never doubt that throwing millions at ad campaigns can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.

But what I said above is still true, and not even really controversial irl. A bunch of community members giving away canned goods from their basement has been around for as long as there have been communities, it’s never been particularly effective, nor left-wing. It’s not transformative, certainly.

See how our friend Will focuses on tampons because he is both totally grossed out and also has no idea about the politics of period products.
While protesting abortion bans in Texas, tampons were confiscated at security because they were afraid we would throw cotton balls at politicians.

at a deep instinctive level they can't recognise popular ideas or take them seriously

Russia just bombed the main highway leading into Kharkiv - heavy traffic with families returning home after Christmas - cars are burning with people in them.

The comments on this are all about how sweet it is and I feel insane. Using AI to make fake memories of your grandma with dementia and telling her they happened and then filming her reaction
