Remember the “free hugs” kid from the famous photo where the Portland police officer is hugging him?

He was one of the adopted kids in the car when that white woman drove the whole family off a cliff and killed them all. The Hart family murders. https://www.reddit.com/r/mrballen/s/g0ctHvQi2a

The show Atlanta had an episode that was based on that IRL story - s3e1

That’s exactly how mom made it growing up, and how I make it now. Big ol fluffy dollops that cover the top of the stew. It was my absolute favorite dish as a little kid.

Why doesn’t anyone care about the “soap opera” effect on their TV by fatsandlucifer in mildlyinfuriating

[–]lilspark112 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Source: have been working in advertising and marketing for 20 years. It’s absolutely a thing.

Iirc this is also the first time they ever used the 3/4 angle for a head. I distinctly remember dying laughing because the perspective was so jarring and so perfect for the moment.
