Ghislaine Maxwell approached 17-year-old Virginia Giuffre at Mar-a-Lago, where she worked at that time, and sex trafficked her to Jeffrey Epstein. When asked what justice would look like for her, she said "I would like to see Ghislaine stay in jail forever." Virginia died by suicide on April 25, 2025. She's not here to repeat her story, so we will. 💔

Margin Call (2011) is an underrated, tightly focused thriller about the early hours of the financial crisis. Such a sharp, tense, and brilliantly acted movie.

Mad Men might be an acquired taste, but it’s one of television’s finest achievements. A slow burn with lasting impact.
Name a TV show which didn't even have a single bad season.

Rutger Hauer rewrote Roy Batty’s final monologue the night before filming, adding the haunting line: “All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.” The crew was so moved, they applauded and some cried.
