Middle school kids learn about theatre...probably more than they bargained for. (Please note that watching a movie to fulfill the Weekly Movie Challenge is not an endorsement of that movie.)

TIL that Sia is older than I had imagined, only a few years younger than me. All the more respect to her.

Finally! Qualifies here as a seemingly inescapable situation. And an incredible movie. I only regret that it took me 13 years to get around to watching it.

Name a non-LOTR character who could resist the One Ring "And for what? For a little bit of power? There's more to life than a little power, you know. Don'tcha know that? And here ya are, and it's a beautiful day. Well. I just don't understand it."

Frances McDormand as Sheriff Marge Gunderson in Fargo (1996).

not for nothing but of all the Confirmation classes I taught in the early aughts, one of the biggest hits was a session on Revelations it was basically "no we don't believe in the Rapture" / "the Left Behind books are trash" / "if a Catholic starts talking End Times shit to you, run"

Amazing

In the week after the June 24 primary election for mayor, I was determined to meet with voters in conservative neighborhoods where
Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani (D-Astoria), a democratic socialist, had performed surprisingly well. In a Howard Beach precinct where Mamdani won, I met a couple who, despite being conservative, voted for Mamdani because they bizarrely thought he had run "to the right" of former Gov. Andrew Cuomo and also believed he was Italian-American, as his name ended in an
"'" and he was from Astoria.
When I dug further into why they thought he was running "to the right" of Cuomo, they noted that it was because he discussed "prices" and
"cost of living," as Donald Trump had in 2024.
They both voted for Trump. They had a hard time believing Mamdani was a socialist because they believed socialists "support making everything more expensive. 1"

This is your standard reminder that Nixon's approval rating was 24% just prior to his resignation (and likely impeachment and removal, had he not resigned). Still a long way to go.

If the US government calls something "The Great American State Fair" but it's held in a location that isn't already a state, that jurisdiction immediately becomes a state. It's in the Constitution. Look it up.

One of the VERY FIRST things done after the Constitutional Convention in 1787 was to have the text of the new Constitution translated into Dutch and German, which were at the time the two largest non-English language spoken in the United States. Here's the National Archives making this point:

The months between signing and ratification were a busy period for the country. The proceedings of the Constitutional Convention had been kept secret, so each state needed to inform its voters of what exactly the proposed new government contained. Congress therefore directed the state legislatures to call ratification conventions in each state, with delegates specifically elected to approve or disapprove the new government.

However, this meant that each state from New Hampshire to Georgia had to receive a copy of the text, submit it to public debate, elect delegates, meet, vote, and return the results to Philadelphia. In an era where the speed of travel was limited by horseback, stagecoach, and boat, this was no quick feat. After the end of the Convention the news of the Constitution spread out in a wave, and thousands of copies were republished by local printers and distributed for debate. A flurry of newspaper articles, pamphlets, and public meetings followed, hotly debating whether the Constitution would be a good framework for a new national government.

Part of the debate and ratification process involved translation: non-negligible portions of the electorate spoke languages other than English. To reach them, the document was translated into Dutch in New York and German in Pennsylvania and Maryland.
