Albrecht Alt? Never heard of him. He was a German Lutheran scholar of the Old Testament.
Albrecht was born on September 20, 1883, so he was roughly the generation of my grandfather or great grandfather, whose name was also Albert.
As a German Lutheran scholar of the Old Testament, Albrecht authored a book, Biblia Hebraica, with a fella named R. Kittel which “became the standard critical text of the Old Testament for Bible students.”

Adele has been banned from using Twitter, though not by the corporate overlords.
“To end things on a light note, Adele was banned from Twitter by her own management team, after she kept drunk tweeting.”
I just had to document this. It made me smile. Highly amusing.
