Bezos + Lauren Sanchez apparently binge watch Fallout, Baby Reindeer, Presumed Innocent and Severance...

“My favorite time is when the house is calm and quiet and Jeff and I are deciding what show we’re going to binge that night,” Sánchez told the magazine.

“It takes a little bit of time to decide,” she added. “You can imagine our tastes are a little different. But I love our TV time, we just have the best time.”

Among their favorites is “Fallout” – a post-apocalyptic drama based on the video game series of the same name. The series airs on Bezos’s own Amazon Prime TV. But the couple also watches shows on rival platforms Netflix and Apple TV.

“We recently saw Baby Reindeer, which of course everyone saw,” Sánchez told People. “We also just finished Presumed Innocent, which was incredible. Oh, and we loved Severance.”

Collapse of post war consensus -> deregulation of financial markets -> complete failure of political parties of all types to build and maintain social housing -> the present suffocating cost of accommodation

Now that I think about it I'm not sure why they had to accept investor money at all. I wonder if it would have turned out differently if they had remained 100% privately owned?

Yes that's the context - Jesus saying no one will be married in heaven. Either angels are asexual or they're all male. The latter is a little more likely given all angels in the bible are presented as male. Which if that's the case has weird implications for what female Christians become when they're resurrected. Some weird male equivalent? So now we're "all like the angels"?

I don't get it. They were rich beyond most people's wildest dreams. Why did they jump aboard the enshitification bandwagon?

Things seem to work fine with the calendar we have anyway.

programmer's eye twitches

"But many who are first will be last, and many who are last will be first."

However it's obtained it's something very hard for the well resourced and powerful to do. Jesus anticipated it's the "very least" in this life who have the capacity to be recognised as "first" in the Kingdom.

Wow, amazed I've never come across this before. Thanks

The sentiment is there though..

2 Thessalonians 3:10 "While we were with you, this we commanded you: If someone won't work, then neither shall they eat"

 

Modulation / key changes have been used in music for ages but the style I'm talking about is the distinctive last verse (or chorus) sudden key change up to power through to the end. Seems to have come about sometime in the 60s/70s and was everywhere in the 80s onwards.

Examples:

Heaven is a place on earth - Belinda Carlisle

I will always love you - Whitney Houston

But who popularised it? What was the first big song to do it and set the style for the genre?
