“Fast Times” turns 44 today. “I resented every audition,” Penn said. When he read poorly, casting director Don Phillips followed him to the parking lot and said, “Get back in here and audition your ass off." "As a result of that faith, I kind of gave it a little bit.” @michaelsantoli.bsky.social

Locking up everything at the store also drives customers to give up shopping and buy everything online. It's inefficient, causes traffic and leads to porch piracy that causes way more headaches than shoplifting. But it's great for surveillance!

Future President James Garfield at the first official Decoration Day, Arlington National Cemetery, May 30, 1868: "But, thanks be to God, this arena of rebellion and slavery is a scene of violence and crime no longer!"
Seen from the western slope of our Capitol, in direction, distance, and appearance, this spot is not unlike the Vatican Mount; though the river that flows at our feet is larger than a hundred Tibers. Seven years ago, this was the home of one who lifted his sword against the life of his country, and who became the great Imperator of the rebellion. The soil beneath our feet was watered by the tears of slaves, in whose hearts the sight of yonder proud Capitol awakened no pride and inspired no hope. The face of the goddess that crowns it was turned towards the sea and not towards them. But, thanks be to God, this arena of rebellion and slavery is a scene of violence and crime no longer! This will be forever the sacred mountain of our Capital. Here is our temple; its pavement is the sepulcher of heroic hearts; its dome, the bending heaven; its altar candles, the watching stars.

One of the many challenges in talking to people about American slavery is not only getting them to recognize its long history before the American Revolution, but that there was no such thing as free states or states at all. There was no freedom to imagine.

Per TruMedia, Brock Purdy was pressured on 60% of his dropbacks while the Seahawks blitzed just 12.1% of the time. There have been nine instances of a 60% pressure rate with under a 15% blitz rate and at least 20 dropbacks over the past 10 years. Purdy's was the only one of those in the playoffs.
