Among the 2,222 ill-fated passengers and crew on board the Titanic were folks of varied backgrounds, socioeconomic statuses, and professions.
(Fun fact — the survivors of the Titanic were first housed in New York City’s Jane Street Hotel, which served as the original Off-Broadway home of John Cameron Mitchell’s Hedwig and the Angry Inch 86 years later. Coincidence? Yes absolutely.)
And historians have just made an incredible discovery about the “Unsinkable Ship” — according to recently unearthed footage, one passenger was perhaps the very first Instagram influencer.
It’s shocking, we know.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
That’s the premise behind a new video from Max Emerson. We’ll have to rewatch James Cameron’s film to see if we can spot him in the background taking selfies.

You might want to check first before stating that the first survivors were put in that particular hotel. Some of them were probably put there, but there was a number of them that were transported first to Halifax Nova Scotia, which was the closest big city.

One can hope that this was done as a self-aware parody of the ridiculousness of Instagram “influencers” who gave us the dumpster fire of the Fyre Festival among other debacles. Alas, probably not, because he is pretty and has lots more crap to “influence”

Sheesh! It’s a parody. Some people need to lighten up.
