These are historically interesting things whose utility for inspiration are not limited to ttrpg (though they are definitely useful for those, as well).
Long ago on the hell site I made long list of historically interesting things to use in dnd ttrpgs and I'll start dragging them over here starting with

Not Gonna Lie, folks. I am incredibly dubious in this day and age of any study that states 'you don't reach adulthood until X' considering how the 'full brain at 25' thing has been weaponized by both young and old to avoid responsibility and deny autonomy

Two years ago (pre-Toyotathon), I never would have believed you if you told me Jordan Love wouldn't be anywhere near the top of a list like this.

More Ron Moore AOL fan interactions from the 90s.
The first one deals with fan entitlement - the delusion that every true fan believes as they do and that they have ownership over the show because they care so much.

Green bean casserole, and there's not even a moment of hesitation. You could put 10 more things on the list and it's still the first off.

Dastardly maneuver. Guy in line in front of me at Costco just ducked in front of people who were sorting their cart next to us. A lady is trying to zipper merge behind me in front of a dozen other carts. There are no rules in these streets.

Aubrey Pleasant was a guy I'd hoped the Packers could keep around (not just because he's a Badger), but he's really found his lane in LA.
Sean McVay said the back end of the Rams defense as a whole is playing "really well."
Again praised assistant HC/pass game coordinator Aubrey Pleasant, safeties coach Chris Beake and defensive assistant Mike Harris for work with group.
"I'm just really, really pleased with how that's looked."

I miss when the only people who gave two shits about Nvidia were the ones worrying if they could run Crysis at max settings.
This piece also offers a generous (3000 word) intro that explains what NVIDIA is, how it got so big, how "building data centers" is a very difficult and complex thing, and why the entire future comes down to how long private debt can afford to keep buying GPUs.
Premium: This is The Hater's Guide To NVIDIA: A 14k word guide to how NVIDIA makes its money, how millions of Blackwell GPUs have been sold with nowhere for them to be installed, and how NVIDIA's future relies on companies raising hundreds of billions in debt.

The streetcar is mediocre, but low stakes. The highway expansion is a bloated, hulking boondoggle. But the real transportation issue we should be confronting in the Milwaukee metro is that the bus system is headed toward a "death spiral." www.therecombobulationarea.news/p/the-highwa...
The highway and the streetcar (and what we're missing)
As highway widening gets unceremoniously underway and the latest streetcar debate goes in another circle, the bus system and looming cuts to key routes seems left behind.

Here is how I think it shapes up for Badgers sneaking into a bowl game:
1. First they must beat Minnesota lol obvi
2. Eight spots remain on bowl market heading into the week
3. Four are taken -- 3 games remain vs. teams both at 5 wins, plus Missouri State has precedence and bowl-eligible record.
