On this episode of Just Wondering, Norm Hitzges sits down with longtime Texas Rangers beat reporter Evan Grant to examine one of the most pivotal offseasons the franchise has faced in years. With Bruce Bochy and Mike Maddox gone, Skip Schumacher stepping in, and payroll reductions looming, the Rangers must decide whether they are still building to contend—or preparing to reset. Evan offers candid insight into the front office's thinking, the financial squeeze tied to TV revenue losses, and what roster changes may look like—from Adolis García and Jonah Heim, to a potential move involving Marcus Semien, Corey Seager, or even Jacob deGrom. They also tackle whether the Rangers' offensive philosophy has stalled, how Josh Jung and Jake Burger fit into the new approach, and whether the organization can finally develop its own pitching. Along the way: cat diplomacy, rescue dogs, and a little baseball soul-searching. A thoughtful and revealing conversation for any Rangers fan wondering what comes next.   Chapters 00:00:00 – Norm Sets the Stage: GM Meetings, Offseason Uncertainty 00:00:33 – Title Sponsor: Fluent Financial 00:01:35 – Introducing Evan Grant: Perspective from Decades on the Rangers Beat 00:02:32 – Bruce Bochy's Exit: Mutual Decision or Push Out the Door? 00:03:54 – The Loss of Mike Maddox and What “Respect” Means in Baseball 00:06:28 – Will Coaching Changes Actually Hurt the 2026 Team? 00:07:57 – The Real Issue: Payroll Cuts and Financial Restraints 00:09:49 – TV Revenue Decline and Attendance Drop: The Business Side 00:10:57 – Who Goes?

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for October 28, 2025 is: menagerie • muh-NAJ-uh-ree • noun Menagerie refers to a collection of animals kept especially to be shown to the public, as well as a place where such animals are kept. It can also refer figuratively to any varied mixture of things. // The aviary featured a menagerie of exotic birds. // The space is eclectically furnished with a menagerie of flea market finds. See the entry > Examples: “The creatures are usually found hanging from phones or handbags ... or clutched as a kind of pet. They come in a menagerie of more than three hundred collectible forms. They can be matched to a personal style or mood: pink fur for when you're feeling flirty; glowing red eyes for a bit of an edge ...” — Kyle Chayka, The New Yorker, 20 Aug. 2025 Did you know? Back in the days of Middle French, ménagerie meant “the management of a household or farm” or “a place where animals are tended.” When English speakers adopted menagerie in the 1600s, they applied it specifically to places where wild and often also foreign animals were kept and trained for exhibition, as well as to the animals so kept. This second meaning was eventually generalized to refer to any varied mixture, especially one that includes things that are strange or foreign to one's experience.

Ken Liu's short story, "The Paper Menagerie," is an easy and powerful add to your curriculum. Not only does it explore family relationships, The American Dream, and identity (themes you can easily connect to other texts as you build units), it introduces - briefly, painfully, powerfully - China's Cultural Revolution. I'll admit I've never studied the history of communism in China with much depth until recently. In college, I took a Socialist-Realist literature course that kicked off a life-long interest in how people are influenced by propaganda for me. Later, I lived in Bulgaria after the fall of communism there and my interest only increased as I taught 1984 to students whose families had lived through Communism. I visited Memento Park in Budapest, home to dozens of Communist sculptures and a terrifying video exhibit about the way the government watched its citizens. I visited the Museum of Communism in Prague, which walks visitors through daily life under communism as well as showing its frightening extremes. I moved to Slovakia, where I listened to my son's best friend's father tell me how wonderful aspects of life under Communism had been years before in the very neighborhood where our family was living. Yet despite my interest in learning about Communism and propaganda, it was Ken Liu who first made me pay attention to The Cultural Revolution. When his main character reads a letter from his mother about her life in China before she escaped to The United States as a bride in a catalogue, it woke me up dramatically. None of the other books I'd ever read throughout so many years of studying and then teaching English had ever really explored this huge event in world history. I thought of the story immediately when a teacher wrote in with her request for our new "Plan My Lesson" series, asking for a bridge to help her students prepare to read Red Scarf Girl, A Memoir of the Cultural Revolution. Since then I've dipped into Red Scarf Girl (until I got so sad I had to take a break) and done a deep dive into The New York Times' exploration of The Cultural Revolution, including three particularly striking stories: one in which a small local museum remembering victims of the Cultural Revolution was wrapped in propaganda posters, one featuring memories of folks who were students in China during the Cultural Revolution (like the narrator of Red Scarf Girl), and one about current president of China's Xi Jinping's experience as a middle schooler during the Cultural Revolution. But knowing many classrooms wouldn't have access to The New York Times, I continued into resources on the BBC and Crash Course, the Asian Society and Getty Images, which I eventually built into today's curriculum. Today, I'm going to walk you through a lesson on "The Paper Menagerie" that you can use on its own, or as a transition toward Red Scarf Girl. Our goal is to help students build some understanding of The Cultural Revolution at the same time that they explore related literature. To be honest, I really fell down the rabbit hole on this one, and could easily now spend a month building curriculum around how we know what is true, how propaganda wields influence, the cultural revolution, Ken Liu's short story, and Red Scarf Girl. And because the history surrounding these stories is so painful, and the repercussions so very real in our world, it's hard not to feel a tremendous responsibility for students to explore these questions and texts. But at the moment, we're talking about one short lesson period - probably about 38 minutes of available time. So let's focus on that, starting now.

In a heartwarming episode of Reading with Your Kids, two remarkable authors share their unique approaches to storytelling that celebrate diversity, inclusion, and the power of imagination. New York Times bestselling author Heather Avis leads the conversation with her powerful book "I Like You So Much," challenging societal narratives about disability. As a mother of three adopted children, two with Down syndrome, Heather crafts a love letter that affirms every child's inherent value, regardless of their abilities or achievements. Complementing Heather's mission, Teresa Argenbright brings her own magic to children's literature with the Menagerie series. Her book "Charlotte and Penelope and the Neighborhood Stage" offers a delightful exploration of creativity, friendship, and community. Teresa's journey into children's writing began unexpectedly, inspired by her daughter's suggestion and her own love for storytelling. Both authors share a common goal: creating books that foster connection, empathy, and joy. Teresa's approach focuses on creating shared experiences between parents and children, using humor and imagination to spark meaningful conversations. Her books invite families to explore talents, friendship, and the simple joy of performing together. Heather's work challenges deep-seated misconceptions about disability, highlighting the shocking reality that countries have attempted to "eradicate" Down syndrome. Her message is clear: every child is valuable simply by existing, not by what they can or cannot do. Teresa's Menagerie series complements this message by celebrating individual creativity and community spirit. Her books encourage children to embrace their unique talents and support their friends, creating a narrative of inclusivity and mutual support. From Heather's powerful advocacy to Teresa's imaginative storytelling, this episode of Reading with Your Kids demonstrates the transformative power of children's literature. These authors are not just writing books; they're creating windows into worlds of understanding, empathy, and unconditional love.

Send us a textContent Warning: Filmic violence is and will often be celebrated throughout Season 15 – Squib Season. Second in the series and keeping to their unpatented temporal pincer movement, the enlisted four of TGTPTU storm the beachheads of Season 15 this week to liberate Squib Season's earliest covered picture, the black-and-white WWII movie HELL TO ETERNITY (1960). (Not to be confused with To Hell from Eternity, which does not exist; To Hell and Back, which does and preceded in Technicolor this week's talkie by five years; or From Hell to Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar, which is actually the combined titles of two vastly different films released, respectively, 41 years and 35 years after this week's feature.) In Hell to Eternity, the 6'0”-tall, New Orleans-born Caucasian actor Jeffrey Hunter (yes, yes, nerds, we know he's Captain Chistopher Pike, listen back to our The Searchers 4x4 episode but also listen to this week's for an irony behind Hunter's being replaced on Star Trek TOS by actor Sean Kenney in Season 1's clips episode two-parter “The Menagerie”), then age 34, plays war hero and protagonist Guy Gabaldon in this biopic based on the real life events of the 5'4”-foot tall Latino Los Angelean of the same name when he was 18.  As in the movie, Gabaldon was raised by adoptive Japanese parents, learning their first language (and presumably, as in the movie, their stories about fish and love), and enlisted after Pearl Harbor as a translator. It's with his language skills that Gabaldon was able to, as depicted at the end of the film, convince over 800 Japanese soldiers and civilians to surrender, although further research would be required by the author of these show notes to know whether real-life Gabaldon adopted/stole a Japanese child to be his son as implied at the end of the film (IMDB Trivia does claim Gabaldon named one of his sons after Hunter as he was enamored by his portrayal of him, implying Gabaldon had more than one son) or if the eighteen-year-old short king had swell times in swinging Hawaii as shown in the film's contentious, extended party sequence containing not just one but two apartment burlesque routines.  The film is lensed by Burnett Guffey who will go on to shoot (on film) our next earliest entry, i.e., BONNIE AND CLYDE (1967) for which he'd earn his second Academy Award. His first Oscar win was for another flick whose title lends itself to easy confusion with this week's, namely FROM HERE TO ETERNITY (1953). Also involved, Lieutenant (later Captain) Sulu (or the actor and activist who originally played the helmsman/fencing expert in Star Trek TOS). Also, hundreds of Japanese Imperial Army veterans and active-duty U.S. Marines who reenacted events from the Battle of Saipan on the adjacent island of Okinawa for the cameras commanded by Guffrey. And some squibs.   This episode, hear Ryan explain both what squibs are and, later, how a man got his start as a boy. Jack, subsequent to the latter, loses his mind. Tom spoils the surprise appearance by a famous and long-deceased sports announcer. And Ken, as impossible as it might seem, might actually change his opinion on mic, specifically about the seemingly endless Hawaii party scene.  Subscribe and listen as the Good Pod Boys give a 21-gun salute to this forgotten classic. THEME SONG BY: WEIRD A.I.Email: thegoodthepodandtheugly@gmail.comFacebook: https://m.facebook.com/TGTPTUInstagram: https://instagram.com/thegoodthepodandtheugly?igshid=um92md09kjg0Bluesky: @goodpodugly.bsky.socialYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6mI2plrgJu-TB95bbJCW-gLetterboxd (follow us!):Podcast: goodpoduglyKen: Ken KoralRyan: Ryan Tobias

Trump has been known to show a disregard for the judicial system when he was a regular citizen, but now that he is the leader of the free world, he's taken that hostility to a whole new level. The sitting president of the United States of America is suggesting we impeach a sitting judge, because he blocked a Trump Administration effort. Legal experts Melissa Murray and Ankush Khardori weigh in. Plus, voters are showing up to town halls across the country frustrated and concerned that Congress isn't doing enough. Congressman Glenn Ivey talks about what he heard from his constituents in Maryland.
