every era of explosive artistic creativity you can think of at least in modern times took place in a city during a period where it was possible to live and have time to make art because rent was cheap

No joke. I think this is the most important video I have ever seen about mobile games. This guy breaks down how this game psychologically profiles you, and makes the game harder or easier in order to show you ads

For a director who's been dead 46 years, Alfred Hitchcock seems oddly well represented with still-living leading players: Kim Novak, Tippi Hedren, Diane Baker, Julie Andrews, Vera Miles, Bruce Dern, Shirley MacLaine, William Devane, Veronica Cartwright, and let's not forget Jerry Mathers.
