In the US, Catholic sisters return Wisconsin land to Ojibwe tribe in a historic first. The Franciscan Sisters of Perpetual Adoration have transferred a lakefront property to the Lac du Flambeau Band of Lake Superior Chippewa for the same $30,000 they paid in 1966.

For the first time, Catholic sisters return land to a Tribal nation
"This return represents more than the restoration of land — it is the restoration of balance, dignity, and our sacred connection to the places our ancestors once walked."

Made a pilgrimage to the @debsmuseum.bsky.social in Terra Haute yesterday and boy was it worth the drive. The curator abs guide, Allison was a font of knowledge. We got the 90 min tour age easily could have listened to her talk about Gene and his times for twice that. A true hearth of comradeship.

Variety's best comedies list had Fargo at, I think 8, which is interesting to me bc I don't think it's even a top 4 funniest Cohens. I'd probably go:
1. Lebowski
1a. Serious Man
3. Raising Arizona
4. Burn After
then maybe Fargo at 5? Who you got?

I'm a huge Beatles nerd and this is ridiculous even to me. Especially if it's just making everything look HD. It's fine for 1995 things to look like they're from 1995.
The restoration of “Beatles Anthology,” a documentary series that first aired in the U.S. in 1995, will start streaming on Wednesday on Disney+. Here's what else to watch on TV this week.

Lol, what are we even doing here? Why are we pretending this will do anything. Cops already have whackqualified immunity now the little diaper-fillers get a right to get their stories straight?
Chicago police officers can turn off their body-worn cameras while being questioned by their supervisor immediately after they shoot a member of the public, the federal judge overseeing efforts to reform the Chicago Police Department ruled Friday.

The year is 2037. The Polish right are using the stereotype of the "migrant British plumber" as a rhetorical device to split a rival coalition.
Over at the Daily Telegraph, they're scratching their heads as to why the former mining and steel producinv city of Gliwice in Poland is now 45% more prosperous than Darlington... and why it has new shiny infrastructure... without mentioning EU funds for urban and regional development...
