Spearheaded by Neil Newbon, Pixel Pack are a collective of actors redefining the role of talent in the gaming business. At a time when SAG-AFTRA's "Interactive Media (Video Game) Strike" continues the fight for better workplace protections, including from A.I. replacements, the Pixel Pack seeks to remind everyone of a simple truth: The actors within the gaming sector are indeed actors, and they are pushing for recognition and respect as artists.  PHOTOGRAPHERS Lead Photographer & Editor: @ivanweiss.london

Lord Byron's first edition copy of Frankenstein (1818), one of only two known surviving copies to be personally inscribed by Mary Shelley (the other is to her friend Mrs. Thomas). Byron took this copy with him when he went into the Greek War of Independence, and it was among his personal things when he died there in 1824:

Mary didn't disclose her name in the inscription because the novel was published anonymously and she initially wanted to keep it that way. However, Byron did reveal her identity in a letter to his publisher, correcting his assumption that Percy was the one who wrote the novel:

"The story of the agreement to write the Ghost-books is true — but the ladies are not Sisters — one is Godwin’s daughter by Mary Wolstonecraft — and the other the present Mrs. Godwin’s daughter by a former husband. Mary Godwin (now Mrs. Shelley) wrote 'Frankenstein' — which you have reviewed thinking it Shelley’s — methinks it is a wonderful work for a Girl of nineteen — not nineteen indeed — at that time."

Under Mary Shelley's consultation, Thomas Moore writes in his Life of Lord Byron (vol III):

"During a week of rain at this time, having amused themselves with reading German ghost-stories, they agreed, at last, to write something in imitation of them. 'You and I,' said Lord Byron to Mrs. Shelley, 'will publish ours together.'"

Percy, writing as Mary with her permission, mentions Byron and himself (in the third-person) in the novel's 1818 preface thus:

"Two other friends (a tale from the pen of one of whom would be far more acceptable to the public than any thing I can ever hope to produce) and myself agreed to write each a story, founded on some supernatural occurrence.

The weather, however, suddenly became serene; and my two friends left me on a journey among the Alps, and lost, in the magnificent scenes which they present, all memory of their ghostly visions. The following tale is the only one which has been completed."

This estate that was featured in Netflix's "Dumb Money" movie just dropped. The 2000 home in Decatur, GA has 3bds, 3ba, 4,261 sq ft, $1.195m. I don't have Netflix, but I can attest to the fact that this house is definitely a case of "money doesn't buy taste." I really dislike this house.

The 1st photo above isn't an accurate depiction of how it looks today, though. As you can see by the current photo, it's worse for wear now.

The large entrance foyer immediately sets the tone for the rest of the house.

This is interesting. The painting on the wall and the framed art match. They also made an "area rug" out of tile.

Thru the columned doorway, enter the dining room.

There are some built-ins, an alcove, and a bar.

The kitchen is massive with dated cabinetry and a sitting area. The mural on the counter looks like a nautical scene.

Next is a very ornate pool room, complete with pink neon lighting.

The primary bedroom features a zebra patterned carpet.

There's a gold sink in the ensuite, but whoever did the tiling didn't do a very good job- it's uneven.

The great room retained some of the Tudor elements, but they painted the beams gray and changed the fireplace facade. The chandelier looks original.

A few steps up to an angular space features a piano.

Checkered flooring in the hall to the bedroom wing.

Interesting decor combined with the original Tudor style of the room. I wonder if that's real Versace bedding. The reason I wonder is b/c my BF has an unfortunate knock-off just like it, but in black.

Wood and marble shower room.

What an interesting light fixture in this room. You can see the leaded glass Tudor style windows throughout the home.

Small child's room is a bit depressing.

Large bath with vanity table. The baths are cold and uninviting.

In the back of the home there's a large covered patio.

These photos are seasonal, but it looks like the lawn is more dirt than dormant.

The red carpet photos must've been from the movie or something.

It was looking better.

3.60 acre lot

The home is just a few feet from a small lake.
