France & Belgium (and me):
“I will bite the hand that feeds me sh*t.”
Nobody says "don't bite the hand that feeds you" to the person doing the feeding.
Mario on why the phrase almost always lands on whoever has the least power in the room and how it started as an attack on the government in 1770.
Hugh Gaine printed the 1773 piece that first swapped cap for shoe. He was also the official printer for the colony and city of New York.

Does what go around really come around?
One of the best answers we've heard to "why do the bad guys always win." You're not watching them lose, because nobody who got there that way is going to show you that part.

It takes a little madness to make something extraordinary. There’s no other room like Seen on the Scene. Four years in, What We Watch has made sure of it.
