Sanity check: I'm about 90% sure that the ski chase scene from Grand Budapest Hotel is Wes Anderson making fun of Spielberg and maybe other directors for the painfully forced video-game-tie-in action sequences they cram into their movies, but I have no idea how to check that. Any ideas?

My local jazz station (KMHD, they’re the best) just played this live Nat King Cole recording from 1960 and it is *incredible*. It was a late show in Vegas (2am start time) so the crowd is mostly other entertainers who are also working during normal performance times. If you are familiar with popular music in the late 50s, this is the equivalent to a very thorough diss track. Even if you just know who Elvis is...my god.
A lot of my software decisions these days are made by looking in the issue tracker, not the documentation, and I’m not looking for errors. I’m looking for how human interactions are valued and managed.

If I were clever I would have made an advent calendar where each door is a Trump excuse as to why he didn't win the election.

The German Federal Ministry of Health and the Robert Koch-Institut operate a web form which you have to fill out when you enter Germany from a COVID-19 high-risk area.
I had to submit my data, so I took a glimpse at what it does in the background.
