In Greek mythology, Tiresias (/taɪˈriːsiəs/; Ancient Greek: Τειρεσίας, romanized: Teiresías) was a blind prophet of Apollo in Thebes, famous for clairvoyance and for being transformed into a … ncG1vNJzZmismJqwqa3Ip5ydpaWosm%2B%2F1JuqrZmToHuku8xop2ismaeytLXArA%3D%3D

The Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, hoped to quell rampant rumors about her mysterious health problems with a Mother’s Day photo of her surrounded by her smiling children. The clumsily photoshopped snap had the opposite effect and was dropped by several news organizations. The Spectator rightly described it as “a disastrous own goal”. My own encounter with the Royal family was but a brief affair and I have no more insight than any public gawper, but I do know messaging and ways it can go horribly awry.

Hi everyone, Welcome to this week’s Too Long; Didn’t Listen. These little recaps are intended to contain all the highlights of full episodes in case you need a little refresher. If you are a teacher or student using these as review/notes, please let me know—I love to give discounts to educators and students. This week, Niko has covered Sarah Bernhardt. If you’d like to listen to the full episode, you can do that right here: Childhood

(Apple Corp. / Disney+) Last month during my MOTW piece on Winona Ryder, I mentioned both her and her character in Tim Burton’s Beetlejuice (1988) have consistently been a favorite of young goth girls. While she’s definitely near the top of my list for fave goth ladies, another of my all-time favorites isn’t even really goth—although she fit the aesthetic plenty of times. Maureen Starkey—or Maureen Starr, or Maureen Cox. First wife of Beatles drummer Ringo Starr and mother of future drummer, Zak Starkey.

(Henry Diltz) If you’re a classic rock fan and have heard of the name ‘Sally Mann,’ you might know for decades she was always pushing the same insistence: “Don’t call me a groupie.” Today, Sally is on a farm in her native Texas with an ordinary life, but from the mid-1960s to early 1980s, Sally was one of the many lucky girls to be right in the middle of the prime of rock music.

The timing of this new series has been held up mostly in the hope that one of the respected music publications I’ve pitched it to would eagerly see the value in telling these stories. I understand that they are rightfully busy (and let’s be honest, it’s not like I’m reinventing the wheel here) but much like a petulant child-I’ve grown tired of waiting.So, similar to when someone spots the semblance of Christ himself on an Oreo I received my sign, that it was time to move forward.

Welcome to my freemium newsletter by me, King Williams. A documentary filmmaker, journalist, podcast host, and author based in Atlanta, Georgia. This is a newsletter covering the hidden connections of Atlanta to everything else. A highway cap (sometimes called a freeway lid) is a covering that is built on top of an existing highway to provide new space. These caps are typically built to open up new environmental, social, and/or economic opportunities for in-town residents, businesses, and visitors.

As we enter the 2023 season, one trend that shows no sign of slowing down is the prevalence of mobile quarterbacks. There are probably 7 or 8 quarterbacks who are flat-out weapons when they choose to run. And most starting quarterbacks in the league have the ability to at least scramble for first downs in critical moments. There are very few statues in the pocket still playing in the NFL. That leaves defenses with a difficult choice when it comes to accounting for a quarterback’s running ability - Should they use a spy or not?

To Whom It May Concern: Emily appears to be a very pleasant, gentle person, and would, I am sure, be an asset to any classroom discussion — although it must be admitted that she has not left her house for some time now. Perhaps classroom accommodation can be made where she sits on the other side of a closed door and doesn’t have to interact with anyone?  To Whom It May Concern: Charles has recently moved from opium to hashish and claims that the switch is helping him wonderfully — he is currently at work on a collection in which he discusses the evil of flowers.
