Production notes
In April 1940 The New York Times reported that Evelyn Young was to receive the female lead in Babies for Sale.[1] Young would soon receive other lead roles in Colombia films but that of Babies for Sale went to Rochelle Hudson.
gollark: ... IRC has that too?
gollark: At least IRC is actually an open protocol with multiple implementations and servers. Discord... isn't.
gollark: Automatically.
gollark: Even if Discord somehow managed to block selfbots, which I don't think they can do in practice, it would be possible to do something ridiculous like... run Discord in one of those headless browser things, and read out messages and whatnot.
gollark: I think trying to restrict this information from spreading around is... about as effective as DRM, really, for the reason that you can kind of control who gets information but not how it's used or spread out after they do.
