Caesar Sisters

JULIUS CAESAR Royal Shakespeare Theatre, Stratford upon Avon, Tuesday 4th April 2023 I come to bury Julius Caesar not to praise it.  Atri Banerjee’s production, currently at the RST and due to embark on a nationwide tour, is not suited to all tastes, with its minimalist staging and atonal music score.  Which is all fine by me – it’s just that the gigantic revolving cube and so on could all be…

Bisbee Jr. vs. Finlay: Joshua W. Williams and the 1880 Florida Voter Suppression Controversy

Here's a story about my great grandfather, Joshua W. Williams, and other community members who stood up for democracy and against voter suppression in Suwannee County, Florida, in 1880.

William Gainer Williams (1869-1953), oldest son of Joshua W. Williams Currently, there is a lot of discussion around voting rights and potential voter suppression. Many are anxious to pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Bill in Congress. Sadly, this is an issue that has been of concern for 153 years since the passage of the Fifteenth Amendment in 1870. One case in point revolved around allegations…

[scotianostra]

On August 15th 1057 Scottish monarch, MacBeth, was killed at Lumphanan.

The saying, You live by the sword, you die by the sword, is certainly true in the case of MacBeth, as I told you yesterday he seized the crown at Pitgaveny some 17 years before, MacBeth must surely have been a true Warrior King.

Considered to be one of the last Gaelic kings, Macbeth was a king of the Scots whose rule was marked by efficient government and the promotion of Christianity, but who is best known as the murderer and usurper in William Shakespeare’s tragedy.

Shakespeare’s Macbeth bears little resemblance to the real 11th century Scottish king.

Mac Bethad mac Findláich, known in English as Macbeth, was born in around 1005. His father was Finlay, Mormaer of Moray, and his mother may have been Donada, second daughter of Malcolm II. A ‘mormaer’ was literally a high steward of one of the ancient Celtic provinces of Scotland, but in Latin documents the word is usually translated as 'comes’, which means earl.

His marriage to Kenneth III’s granddaughter Gruoch strengthened his claim to the throne. In 1045, Macbeth defeated and killed Duncan I’s father Crinan at Dunkeld.

For 14 years, Macbeth seems to have ruled equably, imposing law and order and encouraging Christianity. In 1050, he is known to have travelled to Rome for a papal jubilee. He was also a brave leader and made successful forays over the border into Northumbria, England.

In 1054, Macbeth was challenged by Siward, Earl of Northumbria, who was attempting to return Duncan’s son Malcolm Canmore, who was his nephew, to the throne. In August 1057, Macbeth was killed at the Battle OTD by Malcolm Canmore who later became Malcolm III, Macbeth's Stone, a large boulder at the site, is said to mark the spot where Macbeth was mortally wounded. as seen in the pic.

They'd be mostly sara-centric but I'd try to get in other characters as well. Also, I'd aim for mostly fics with under 100 favs/kudos as there are some amazing stories out there that don't get all the recognition they deserve.

Hi brat,

Kate's pap walk while will Ilis photographed solo in Monaco and reported by people is the clincher for me. It seals the deal for my theory that they are truly donezo.

I think your theory is they will never divorce and will live separate lives, which is also a strong possibility.

What is your takeaway from the pap walk? To me they/she have officially entered the era of celebrity PR.

I'm of the opinion that if she didn't want to be seen, she could have worn a hat to obscure the view of her face more. It's winter. She already has scarf on. Any kind of hat would would have cut off part of her face and made her less recognizable.

Except she didn't do that. I'm of the opinion that she wanted to be seen.

They've always used a lot of celebrity pr. How many covers have they gotten in People magazine since they got married? Back in the Jason Knauf days, they concentrated heavily on their American press. Lee Thompson seems to be doing the same. The big difference is that a) they're doing less work and b) there are less royals to take the focus off them in the UK press now that Harry, Meghan, and Andrew are no longer working royals.

They're clearly living separate lives for the time being. NY Post is already saying Kate spent the night in London at Kensington Palace instead of Adelaide Cottage in Windsor.

Kate Middleton stepped out for some light shopping during a solo outing in London earlier this week. The Princess of Wales, 43, looked chic as she bundled up for a visit to London’s swanky Notting Hill neighborhood Tuesday evening. During her outing, the mom of three browsed a selection of glasses at Finlay & Co — a luxury brand that designs its frames locally. While it’s unclear exactly which frames she purchased, the princess was seen leaving the store with a shopping bag. The senior royal is a known fan of the brand, and has been spotted wearing their sunglasses on several occasions. Inside the store, Middleton chatted away to members of staff as she searched for the perfect frames. It’s believed that the royal spent the night at the nearby Kensington Palace, before returning to her home in Windsor the following day.

And Kate went shopping on a school night! Who was with the kids when William was traveling back and forth to Monaco? Grandma Carole? Grandpa Mike? Nanny Maria? Uncle James & Auntie Alizée?

Interesting how Will & Kate can't do more work due to the kids, but yet they could both be away from their kids at the same time in the evening on the same day. I mean, why travel all the way from Windsor to Notting Hill on a school night when the same store will be open on the weekend?

It makes more sense that she was staying at the KP apartment in London. In fact, I wonder if whomever has the kids for the week stays at Adelaide Cottage while the other one stays at Kensington Palace or Anmer Hall. The kids stay in one place while the parents don't have to be together.
