This shit is not random

Pre-game:

Brother: Winner gets likely Arsenal. How is this shit ‘random’?

Me: I saw that. That's why if we lose, I don't really care. Unless Oxford wins, then I will mind a lot.

Brother: I was hoping we would get Wrexham, so maybe we could be on season 2 of Welcome to Wrexham and we could see awkward interactions between Potter and Rob and Ryan.

Me: I just imagine that happening and Mom heckling us like I thought your team was GOOD.

Brother: On Reddit, their actual fans were hoping to get an away game at City just for the money. That's hilarious.

League 1 Countries

Using MapChart, I made a map which looks at the idea of each League 1 football club being a nation. The capitals would be their respective home stadiums. The higher the team is in the table as of 19th April 2023, the higher precedent it gets for expansion. Expansion begins from the area their stadium is located.

There will be versions of this for other English leagues.

Featuring, in order of northern-most point:

Shrimps - Morecambe (Capital: Mazuma Stadium)

Fishermen - Fleetwood Town (Capital: Highbury Stadium)

Tykes - Barnsley (Capital: Oakwell)

Trotters - Bolton Wanderers (Capital: Bolton Wanderers Stadium)

Owd Reds - Accrington Stanley (Capital: Crown Ground)

Imps - Lincoln City (Capital: Sincil Bank)

Owls - Sheffield Wednesday (Capital: Hillsborough)

Valiants - Port Vale (Capital: Vale Park)

Salop - Shrewsbury Town (Capital: New Meadow)

Brewers - Burton Albion (Capital: Pirelli Stadium)

Posh - Peterborough United (Capital: London Road)

Rams - Derby County (Capital: Pride Park)

Tractor Boys - Ipswich Town (Capital: Portman Road)

Dons - Milton Keynes Dons (Capital: Stadium MK)

Robins - Cheltenham Town (Capital: Whaddon Road)

Amber Army - Cambridge United (Capital: Abbey Stadium)

Chairboys - Wycombe Wanderers (Capital: Adams Park)

Green - Forest Green Rovers (Capital: The New Lawn)

Yellows - Oxford United (Capital: Kassam Stadium)

Addicks - Charlton Athletic (Capital: The Valley)

Gas - Bristol Rovers (Capital: Memorial Stadium)

Pompey - Portsmouth (Capital: Fratton Park)

Pilgrims - Plymouth Argyle (Capital: Home Park)

Grecians - Exeter City (Capital: St. James' Park)

Interior Department Announces New Guidance to Honor and Elevate Hawaiian Language

"In commemoration of Mahina ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi, or Hawaiian Language Month, and in recognition of its unique relationship with the Native Hawaiian Community, the Department of the Interior today announced new guidance on the use of the Hawaiian language.  

A comprehensive new Departmental Manual chapter underscores the Department’s commitment to further integrating Indigenous Knowledge and cultural practices into conservation stewardship.  

“Prioritizing the preservation of the Hawaiian language and culture and elevating Indigenous Knowledge is central to the Biden-Harris administration's work to meet the unique needs of the Native Hawaiian Community,” said Secretary Deb Haaland. “As we deploy historic resources to Hawaiʻi from President Biden’s Investing in America agenda, the Interior Department is committed to ensuring our internal policies and communications use accurate language and data."  

Department bureaus and offices that engage in communication with the Native Hawaiian Community or produce documentation addressing places, resources, actions or interests in Hawaiʻi will use the new guidance on ‘ōlelo Hawaiʻi (Hawaiian language) for various identifications and references, including flora and fauna, cultural sites, geographic place names, and government units within the state.  The guidance recognizes the evolving nature of ‘ōlelo Hawaiʻi and acknowledges the absence of a single authoritative source. While the Hawaiian Dictionary (Pukui & Elbert 2003) is designated as the baseline standard for non-geographic words and place names, Department bureaus and offices are encouraged to consult other standard works, as well as the Board on Geographic Names database.  

Developed collaboratively and informed by ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi practitioners, instructors and advocates, the new guidance emerged from virtual consultation sessions and public comment in 2023 with the Native Hawaiian Community. 

The new guidance aligns with the Biden-Harris administration’s commitment to strengthening relationships with the Native Hawaiian Community through efforts such as the Kapapahuliau Climate Resilience Program and Hawaiian Forest Bird Keystone Initiative. During her trip to Hawaiʻi in June, Secretary Haaland emphasized recognizing and including Indigenous Knowledge, promoting co-stewardship, protecting sacred sites, and recommitting to meaningful and robust consultation with the Native Hawaiian Community."

-via US Department of the Interior press release, February 1, 2024

Note: I'm an editor so I have no idea whether this comes off like as big a deal as it potentially is. But it is potentially going to establish and massively accelerate the adoption of correctly written Native Hawaiian language, as determined by Native Hawaiians.

Basically US government communications, documentations, and "style guides" (sets of rules to follow about how to write/format/publish something, etc.) can be incredibly influential, especially for topics where there isn't much other official guidance. This rule means that all government documents that mention Hawai'i, places in Hawai'i, Hawaiian plants and animals, etc. will have to be written the way Native Hawaiians say it should be written, and the correct way of writing Hawaiian conveys a lot more information about how the words are pronounced, too, which could spread correct pronunciations more widely.

It also means that, as far as the US government is concerned, this is The Correct Way to Write the Hawaiian Language. Which, as an editor who just read the guidance document, is super important. That's because you need the 'okina (' in words) and kahakō in order to tell apart sizeable sets of different words, because Hawaiian uses so many fewer consonants, they need more of other types of different sounds.

And the US government official policy on how to write Hawaiian is exactly what editors, publishers, newspapers, and magazines are going to look at, sooner or later, because it's what style guides are looking at. Style guides are the official various sets of rules that books/publications follow; they're also incredibly detailed - the one used for almost all book publishing, for example, the Chicago Manual of Style (CMoS), is over a thousand pages long.

One of the things that CMoS does is tell you the basic rules of and what specialist further sources they think you should use for writing different languages. They have a whole chapter dedicated to this. It's not that impressive on non-European languages yet, but we're due for a new edition (the 18th) of CMoS in the next oh two to four years, probably? Actually numbering wise they'd be due for one this year, except presumably they would've announced it by now if that was the case.

I'm expecting one of the biggest revisions to the 18th edition to add much more comprehensive guidance on non-Western languages. Considering how far we've come since 2017, when the last one was released, I'll be judging the shit out of them if they do otherwise. (And CMoS actually keep with the times decently enough.)

Which means, as long as there's at least a year or two for these new rules/spellings/orthographies to establish themselves before the next edition comes out, it's likely that just about every (legit) publisher will start using the new rules/spellings/orthographies.

And of course, it would expand much further from there.
