Yes, unfortunately, a lot of what I’m writing has to do with health protocol in the US, so I would probably need somebody from the US. That is super cool though!

Do any neurologists or neurosurgeons follow me? If so, would any of you be interested in being interviewed/consulted for a project I’m working on? I would give you credit for it, and could pay you for your time.

Fortunately they generally didn't call the fake mistress as a witness, because while a judge might forget having seen the same maid in two or three different cases, he would definitely remember seeing the young Elsa Lanchester

This was common! But you had to be careful not to use the same hotel (and indeed maid) too often or the judge might get suspicious and refuse to grant a divorce on grounds of collusion.

Never forget that David Ellison's Skydance Media was originally created so he could be an actor. Skydance's first film was 'Flyboys' starring James Franco and... David Ellison. David and his daddy invested $60m to make Flyboys. It grossed $17m Here's a bit of David's acting:

Just saw someone say their AI runs their fantasy football team and I can’t stop laughing. Like, I’m sure everyone’s doing it or something but it’s very funny to me that pretending to be a team manager was so hard that you needed to pretend to pretend to be a team manager

Instead of Harry Potter everyone should read The Power Broker. And instead of going "which house am I in" go "how many parks would Robert Moses make for me given my race, class, and general personality"

With full recognition that clothing and home goods brands have been offering Harry Potter-themed merchandise for decades, it is particularly dismal that companies are announcing new collaborations right now, in spite of JKR's relentless espousal of bigoted views.

this is all a joke to them because far-right conservatives think that rape is good, and that high status men should be entitled to rape any women around them who are not also already attached to other high-status men. this is their actual ideology

She said they never expected anything sexual of her, and she just got to spend the night in a nice hotel, and then the maid would take the stand before the judge and the couple could divorce.

She also used to pose as men’s mistresses for couples who wanted a divorce, because you had to prove adultery in the UK then. So they would pay her in advance, set her up in a hotel room, then they would leave and a maid would be arranged to “walk in on” her in a man’s room. This was her day job!

Elsa then went on to study dance in Paris with Isadora Duncan, became famous in London for singing bawdy tunes, had poetry written about her by Auden, and married the most well-regarded character actor of the first half of the 20th century… who turned out to be gay. This was all BEFORE the Bride!
