Open Thread: New Ties

I honestly would have preferred "Ties, Old and New" but, of the pictures I took, this was the most visually appealing image.  The thing about shooting through a chain link fence is that it limits your options; I shall blame the lack of any equally good looking images that show both old and new ties on that, rather than my ability as a photographer.

I'm sorry I took so long to the create the Birds of Prey open thread.  It looks like the interest that would have justified the existence of said-thread died down before I actually created it, which wouldn't be the case had I created it in a timely manner.

We have special open threads set aside for discussing various movies, said discussions including plain text spoilers.  These are the current ones:
   ● Birds of Prey
   ● Star Wars: Episode IX -- The Rise of Skywalker

You do not need a special open thread to discuss a movie.  Provided you encipher any spoilers (the standard method is by summoning Cthulhu) discussion of movies is quite welcome in the regular open threads.

The special threads are for cases where movie-talk might threaten to drown out other discussion, is expected to take place over multiple weeks, or both.  If you believe a given movie calls for one, simply say so.

Friday Recommendations!  What have you been reading/writing/listening to/playing/watching lately?  Shamelessly self-promote or boost the signal on something you think we should know about - the weekend’s ahead of us, so give us something new to explore!

And, like on all threads: please remember to use the "post new comment" feature rather than the "reply" feature, even when directly replying to someone else!
