Happy Friday and Welcome to the first day of Autumn!
Here are five things I thought worth sharing this week:
A history of labor strikes, according to Hollywood movies, from blacklist era films to the independent movements taking up for labor in the Sixties and Seventies, right up through to modern releases.
Here we have the latest in Veblen goods: Pistachio everything.
A collection of century-old comics imagining Don Quixote in the Twentieth Century.
“What should men do with their hands?”
Finally, I was excited to come across a newsletter looking at popular culture through statistical analysis, that is, taking available data and examining what humans are actually up to in various domains. This piece takes a look at how celebrity [what sorts of professions does society honor or envy, who is well-known by masses and why? ] has changed since the 1700s.
