From the movie, Ghost Exchange:

What we were really doing was creating models

that allowed us to take advantage of dumb people

We were turning into code something

that we could predict dumb people would do that would

give us a chance to skim money off them.

Great cover of the old Aretha song, start at 0:40 … Cécile McLorin Salvant … Sullivan Fortner’s show-offy performance on piano a little distracting :

Good song to inhale to…. Gotts Street Park was my #1 artist in the 2021 Spotify Wrap

81 minute running time… Clark Gable and Carole Lombard (not married then) … I was only interested in this one for the Depression-era vibe and bra-less Carole Lombard and the fact that Gable was a card cheat and that gambling was pervasive in American life … modern tech shown off in this movie included the telephone and an indoor shower and taxi cabs … the story was kind of silly love story and not that interesting, I wouldn’t recommend it. That scar on Lombard’s cheek came from a car crash, pre-safety glass.

Card sniping is the only racket I’ve ever known

Tré Burt sounding Bob Zimmermanish with “Sweet Misery.” A song about depression, maybe? I dig it.
