The first one is in the Art Institute in Chicago. Remember Ferris Bueller?

American Gothic is there too, as is Hopper’s “Nighthawks”

ETA: wow not sure why that took 6 hours to post.

That’s the one. I imagine Lightfoot clearing her throat and giving that guy the stinkeye.

I remember when the old Walt Disney TV show used this demonstration as a way of explaining a fission chain reaction.

I’m not local to the situation, but is sure seems to me that de Blasio, for all his warts, has actually shown more leadership than Cuomo, for all the good press he’s received.

I can’t prove it but The Cosmic Sucker - The Amazing Story of Bonk Business Inc. (1997) has that same scene using super balls.

Pori police break up teen gatherings of up to 100

The Southwestern Finland Police Department issued a sharply worded statement early Monday saying that officers had to disperse rowdy congregations of up to 100 youngsters three nights running over the long Easter weekend.

Police said those involved ranged from under age 15 to over 18, and that fistfights had broken out, apparently with ethnic undertones. According to the statement, “in these large groups there were differences of opinion between people from at least the Middle East and Satakunta,” the region that includes Pori.

The statement went on to label this behaviour as “childish and stupid”. It called on parents and guardians to ensure that “at least the younger participants” stay away from such situations, adding that “it would not be a waste if slightly older children spent their time in some more useful activity”.
