At the time, the Impressionists were barely considered to be creating real art and they were denied entry into the prestigious Paris Salon so they made their own exhibit like a ragtag group of school children in every movie ever made about ragtag groups of school children.

In the future, all restaurants are Taco Bell. Unless you're watching the movie in Europe, in which case all restaurants are Pizza Hut. No idea what happens if you watch Demolition Man on a trans-Atlantic flight...

#Trivia QOTD: In Demolition Man, the winner of the Franchise Wars is the only restaurant available in the future. What current chain is the last restaurant standing? I'll take either the chain used in North America or the chain substituted in markets where the first chain was less well-known.

Matt Cameron is just kinda tired and doesn't want to do 3 hour shows with Pearl Jam anymore, which honestly, I feel. I don't want to go to 3 hour shows anymore, either.

I can't speak to your personal level of excitement but the PWHL in person is pretty damned fun. I think it will sustain your excitement unless you tend to seriously crash out on things after a short time. 🏒💙

Since I had a 9am meeting this morning, and I normally have breakfast when I get to work, I am currently experiencing an overload of ghrelin, the hunger hormone.

Ah, sorry, this showed up without context in the PWHL feed I follow and I didn't realize your answer was doubly fictional -- a bit of a fantasy about a character who is already fictional.

Often they have been opening single-game tickets in blocks, to try to keep the crowds sort of compact even if they don't sell out a whole arena, so it might just be that way they made available initially has sold out and they will open some more soon?

The #pwhl jersey announcements are giving me hope that soon the Ottawa Charge might not have the worst uniforms in the league. (Though, actually, I think I have mostly coming around to the Minnesota Frost's being worse than ours.)

The French revolutionary calendar had 12 30 day months, each of which was given a name that sort of invoked the season. Apparently some British comedian described them as Wheezy, Sneezy, and Freezy; Slippy, Drippy, and Nippy; Showery, Flowery, and Bowery; Hoppy, Croppy, and Poppy.

In the Crucible, John Proctor is incorrectly labelled a witch. As far as I can tell, in this play, he is correctly labelled a sexual abuser of his teenage employee.

Sometimes when you buy soap at a craft show, the person started from chemicals and made soap and sold it to you. On the other hand, sometimes they took soap, added colour or scent, marked up the price by 8 million percent and sold it to you.

Apparently, if you learn Latin today, you learn to call New York Novus Eboracum because Eboracum was the last Latin name of York/Yorkshire. It had some others in between.

Apparently the creation of the U countries list was so that someone could force the creation of the United States wikipedia page, but the United Kingdom and Uruguay also made it on there. Uganda, UAE, Uzbekistan and Ukraine, however, did not get added until a later edit.

Law Roach and Zendaya basically built their careers side-by-side -- he made her more than a Disney kid and she made him probably the best known stylist in Hollywood. And they still work together and still knock it out of the park more consistently than any other celeb-stylist pairing.

The various forms of brown sticky gluey stuff that some people eat are made with brewer's yeast, basically as a way to use up the byproducts of making beer, a thing that some people drink.

I was surprised because the other first-rounder signings have been longer -- Edwards for 3, Murphy for 2, Brandli for 3 (not a 1st rounder, but Detroit's 1st pick), Janecke for 2. But if you're not worried, I'm not worried.

Hyrox, the incredibly challenging physical competition, is different from Hydrox, the chocolate sandwich cookie that begat the Oreo. Too much of either, however, has the potential to give you the runs.

I have Ottawa Charge season tickets and when I can't go, I just give them away because they are so inexpensive, I prefer the fuzzy feeling of having done a nice thing for someone over the cold hard cash. I bought more expensive tickets this year, so i might be feeling the cash more but we'll see.
