Wow. Im impressed that they plan on translating Shakespeare into Old English for this. I wonder if the subtitles will be in his Early Modern English or contemporary modern English. Maybe both with some Middle thrown in for fun!
Robert Eggers is set to direct a new film adaptation of ‘ROMEO AND JULIET’.
The film will feature the actors speaking in Olde English.

An old bottle of picric acid was found at John K King books. Multiple streets were closed as Detroit fire and police bomb squads worked to remove the bottle that had been stored there for more than 30 years. Listen to 950 AM for the latest.

A recently released Justice Department memo questions decades of protections for Americans with disabilities. The DOJ says states aren’t required to provide home and community-based services that have long kept disabled Americans out of institutions, if they would benefit from these other services.
It’s the latest effort by the Trump administration to shift longstanding practices for the disability community.
@AliRogin has more.

Dear Joe,
I wish I could sit down with you face to face and explain why so many of us were offended by the UFC fight on the South Lawn of the White House.
For me, it had nothing to do with the UFC or who showed up for the fights. The brand you and Dana have built is a bona fide American success story. More power to you. As for the fighters, in my book, anyone brave enough to put it all on the line in the arena is remarkable to witness. Their dedication and discipline inspire me. I don’t understand anyone who can’t admire that.
And as for the people who attended, I, for one, love Shane Gillis. I think he’s hilarious and brilliant. It was a show. A once-in-a-lifetime spectacle. I can’t blame anyone for wanting to witness it firsthand.
My problem is that I believe some of our public spaces are sacred. And unlike many of the great powers that came before us, these American monuments belong to all of us. Not to whoever happens to hold power at the moment.
The White House does not belong to Donald Trump. It does not belong to any President. It belongs to the people. To treat it as Caesar treated the Colosseum is antithetical to everything our founding fathers fought for.
This is not Rome. Presidents are not emperors doling out bread and circuses for the peasants. The White House is the People’s House. This “celebration” could have happened in any stadium within a stone’s throw of the South Lawn. No one would have had an issue with it.
But that was obviously Donald Trump’s whole point. By holding the event on the South Lawn, what he was saying to the rest of us is:
“This is my house. I own it. I will do with it what I please. I’ll build a colosseum and have the gladiators fight under my gaze. I’ll tear down the East Wing. I’ll pave over the Rose Garden. I’ll cover everything in gold and marble. I’ll erase the names of all the men who came before me.”
The fights were an exhibition of imperial domination, not a celebration of our 250th anniversary as a democracy.
The White House is not Buckingham Palace. It is not the Palace of Versailles. It is not the Forbidden City of Beijing. It does not belong to an emperor, or a king, or a commissar.
The White House belongs to us. All of us. The person who sits behind the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office is nothing more than an honored guest. A temporary caretaker.
The President is our servant. Not our Caesar.
Respectfully, Hunter
P.S. Cage match between me and Don Jr.? Your call on the venue. Anywhere but the South Lawn.
This is what we can soft power international relations
Can’t send the lads off to the match on an empty stomach. I hope Europeans like sausages. #NoScotlandNoParty
The NFL should use this rule. Call it The Skipper.
