And now she’s about to sashay into her first role in a musical – as Miss Hannigan in Annie.\nLa Voix is an amalgam of the women Dennis knew growing up in Stockton-on-Tees: quick wit, warm heart, belter of a voice, and always in possession of a sparkly top for a night out. After 17 years of Drag Race on TV, we’ve seen the vast range of what drag can be, from high fashion to political to performance art. But La Voix is classic old school light entertainment. Who, I ask Dennis, are your comic influences? “Ken Dodd,” he says without a beat. “The terrible jokes that just make you laugh. Bang, bang, bang, joke, joke, joke.” Barry Humphries’ Dame Edna and Paul O’Grady’s Lily Savage are big influences, too.

He wants to promote a more nuanced, scientifically rigorous public conversation about why and how men and women differ to guide better policymaking.\nSome sex differences are relatively pronounced, he claims, such as whether you’re primarily attracted to men or women, upper body strength, height, the likelihood you’ll murder someone and occupational interests. Many, such as ability in maths, or conscientiousness, are much more modest. Such differences are best visualised as two overlapping bell curves. To illustrate this, consider height: the shortest humans are almost all women, the tallest are men, the average man is taller than the average woman, but there is considerable common ground.

A show-within-a-show, it stars its creator as an alternative Sam Campbell: rather than his real-life idiosyncratic standup self, he’s a pompous director whose well of inspiration has run dry. So he invites the public to share their (invariably bonkers) ideas for movies, which he and his dysfunctional crew then develop into real feature films. This all occurs within the framework of a shonky reality programme; each episode concludes with the film’s premiere. Think Changing Rooms, but instead of Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen and Handy Andy renovating somebody’s living room, it’s Campbell and co bringing to life a man called Mick’s fantasy about a couple who can’t be snakes at the same time, yet one of them is always a snake.\nIn other words, the actual Campbell is the one who has been given carte blanche to turn his own invariably bonkers ideas into reality. He claims the production company behind the show were very hands-off – partly because they were so busy working on an animated Ricky Gervais series about cats “so we sort of got left to our own devices”. It helped that Channel 4’s head of comedy, Charlie Perkins – a longtime champion and collaborator of Campbell’s – was also “very trusting.

And what a pair they are; they are a real pleasure to watch in an easy, unforced drama that mixes romcom moments with a relaxed crime thriller.

Picture the scene, he told the audience: it’s 1924 and FW Murnau has just strapped a movie camera to a bicycle and invented subjective cinematic perspective. The result was The Last Laugh which captured the precariousness of life in Germany after the first world war with such poignant precision it foreshadowed the following decade – and revolutionised cinema.\nFor Blondi, shot 100 years later, the camera was strapped to a dog. Lexie, a seven-month-old German shepherd, is both the title character – Hitler’s last dog, possibly the most famous hound in geopolitics – but is also the co-director of photography, or cinemadographer if you prefer, as both Pablo Álvarez-Hornia (the film’s producer) and Jack Salvadori (its co-director) certainly do. It makes for a novel cinematic experience.

It is set, like her previous film Western, in Bulgaria’s remote and beautiful mountainous country, where memories of the Balkan wars (and the communist era before that) are still fresh and where there is money to be made and resources to be exploited for those who are ruthless enough.\nAs with Western, Grisebach uses nonprofessionals for many very likable supper-and-drinking-and-reminiscing scenes with people gathered round tables shooting the breeze, scenes that don’t need a particular reason to exist, other than their easy, garrulous energy. And as before, Grisebach shows an interesting reluctance to conform to conventional narrative templates – though while this film actually does conform to Chekhov’s ancient rule about what happens to the gun produced in act one (well, act two in this case), the denouement isn’t the usual arthouse flourish of violence.

Yet the film certainly delivers some sinister rural strangeness in the France profonde countryside and some gonzo shootouts; plus there is a ripe turn from Benoît Magimel, who with every film seems to morph further into a cross between Gérard Depardieu and Christopher Walken.\nIn a very remote bucolic village, Thomas (Bastien Bouillon) is a hardworking dairy farmer who took over the family smallholding after his father killed himself. After a whirlwind romance, he married Nora (Hafsia Herzi), a rather glamorous city-slicker of a woman who just showed up in the neighbourhood; they have a daughter, Ida who has recently irritated Nora by posting a wacky video of the three of them doing a goofy “family dance”, which has gone viral. The family gets on very well with an elegant artist who lives alone next door, played by Monica Bellucci on pretty stately form. Thomas has clearly got money worries; we see him on the phone trying to borrow cash from someone who has reluctantly helped him out before, as he needs €300 to pay for Nora’s approaching 40th birthday party.

For a while, it seemed too good to be true. The Force Awakens made more than $2bn worldwide. Rogue One did more than $1bn. The Last Jedi conjured up more than $1.3bn, even while triggering a culture war so radioactive it could power the Death Star. Most of the fandom hated The Rise of Skywalker, but that most execrable of movies still earned Disney more than $1bn.\nThen came Disney+, the perfect delivery system. No more waiting years between films: just hang around for a few months and something else would pop up on the conveyor belt. Andor, The Book of Boba Fett, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Ahsoka, The Mandalorian. Plot holes were filled, animated side characters got their magnum opus, and we all learned far more about the middle-management structure of galactic fascism than we had ever imagined possible. So why are we, almost 14 years on from that monumental shift in the Star Wars power structure, reading yet another slew of critical notices declaring that the saga has run its course? The Mandalorian and Grogu, at time of writing, has a rating of 61% on Rotten Tomatoes, pushing it just into the “fresh” category. The positives, broadly speaking, are that it is charming, brisk, visually polished and has Baby Yoda, a character precision-engineered for adorability.

Initially inspired by a 2019 trip to Glastonbury, where Varjack saw Jackson perform and wondered why she had never played the festival before, the show highlights the injustice of a white, male-controlled and favoured music industry. Performed alongside fellow devisers Pauline Mayers, Julienne Doko, Chia Phoenix and BSL performer Vinessa Brant, the result is a kinetic multimedia analysis that uses lip syncing, killer dance routines, onscreen BSL by Cherie Gordon and puppetry to build their case.

On last year’s fifth album Vie she negotiated the tension between the pop persona she once denounced as a “cash grab” and her true freak artistic self – a tension she plays to perfection during tonight’s show.\nAfter a prelude where Doja hovers above the stage in Klaus Nomi-esque shoulder pads and a 20-metre long train – perhaps elaborate trolling aimed at fans who complained about her lack of outfit changes earlier in the tour – she arrives fully formed as a purple-clad bandleader for a run of 80s inflected tracks from Vie and 2021’s Planet Her. Fronting a 10-person band, she’s an immediately commanding presence, wearing pasties, a high-waisted bodysuit, tights and gloves, her zebra print microphone matching her heels. She has the look of a scene-kid Prince, the blond of recent shows swapped for an acid green wig. Appropriately, the synergy between her and her band is reminiscent of Purple Rain, or a glam-rock Stop Making Sense.

By the early 1900s, the site had become Glen Echo Amusement Park, catering to the Capital’s pleasure seekers. Although the amusement park rides are long gone, Glen Echo Park still operates its iconic Dentzel Carousel—a lasting reminder of the park’s vibrant history.\n Today, Glen Echo Park’s century-old Carousel stands as one of the world’s oldest merry-go-rounds, still in operation and at its original location. Constructed by the Dentzel Carousel Company of Germantown, Pennsylvania, in 1921, it attracts more than 50,000 visitors each year and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.\n Classified as a “menagerie carousel” due to its number and variety of animals, the Carousel features 52 hand-carved wooden animals and two circus chariots. Its menagerie includes 40 horses, several rabbits and ostriches, a lion, a tiger, a giraffe, and a deer. It spins at a relatively speedy five turns per minute to the accompaniment of a 105-year-old Wurlitzer organ. In 1983, Rosa Patton began a 24-year restoration of the Carousel, returning its animals, organ, canopy building, and floor to their original paint colors. The restoration was completed in 2003, ensuring that its original charm would endure for future generations.\n\r\nThe Carousel also became a symbol of social change. During the summer of 1960, it was the site of protests in the American Civil Rights Movement. On June 30, 1960, black students from Howard University in Washington, DC, boarded the Carousel in defiance of the Park’s segregation policies. When confronted by Park security, the students refused to leave, prompting the operator to stop the ride. After two and 1\u002F2 hours, five students were arrested for “criminal trespass.” Protests continued at and around the Park throughout the rest of the summer. When the Park reopened for the 1961 season, it was desegregated.\n\r\nThe events at Glen Echo set the stage for legal change. They culminated in the landmark 1964 Supreme Court decision, Griffin v. Maryland, in which the Court ruled that the arrests of Black patrons by a state-commissioned deputy sheriff, albeit working as a security guard at a private establishment, constituted state-enforced segregation violating the 14th Amendment. This case, along with others, set an important legal precedent for the Civil Rights Act of 1964.","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.atlasobscura.com\u002Fplaces\u002Fglen-echo-park-carousel",[14,38],"Fri, 22 May 2026 10:30:00 -0400",{"id":1776,"title":1777,"content":1778,"link":1779,"isPositive":10,"positivity":25,"tags":1780,"tagString":196,"pubDate":1503,"source":1767,"timestamp":1694},318,"The Museum of Money in Dallas, Texas","In downtown Dallas at 501 Elm Street, a few steps from Dealey Plaza, sits a two-story museum dedicated to money.

And about how candy stores have always played a big role in the town’s history.\n\r\nBack in the 1840s, a German immigrant named Frederick Roeder set up a little sweet shop in Harpers Ferry. He sold cakes, candies, and pies and lived right upstairs for about 15 years.\n\r\nBut then came the morning of July 4, 1861 .By that time, the Civil War had arrived. Union troops were moving in. Roeder ventured outside his shop to check out the scene. Some say to get a look at the Union flag flying just across the river. He was a Union sympathizer himself. He was hit by a ricocheting bullet. And then he died. Which means the town’s first civilian casualty of the Civil War was the local candy shop owner.\n\r\nAnd today, the connection between candy and history is still going strong in Harpers Ferry.\n\r\nThere’s a plaque marking the site of Roeder’s old store. And just a few steps away down a street called Hog’s Alley is a place called True Treats. It’s a candy shop, but that doesn’t tell the whole story.It’s also sort of an edible timeline of the history of candy.\n\r\nSusan Benjamin: We are not a candy store. We’re a museum where you can eat the displays.\n\r\nI’m Kelly McEvers and this is Atlas Obscura, a celebration of the world’s strange, incredible, and wondrous places. And today’s episode is brought to you in partnership with the West Virginia Department of Tourism. And today we’re going to eat our history.\n\r\nWe will meet candy scholar Susan Benjamin, who founded what she calls the only research-based historic candy shop in the country.\n\r\nShe’ll introduce us to some surprising sweets that have shaped American history, from abolitionist sugars to World War I’s chocolate energy bars.\n\r\nThat’s coming up after this.\n\r\nThis is an edited transcript of the Atlas Obscura Podcast: a celebration of the world’s strange, incredible, and wondrous places. Find the show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and all major podcast apps.\n\r\n\r\nKelly: Susan Benjamin is a candy scholar. So basically, she has the job that every kid dreams about. And it’s no fluke that she ended up in Harpers Ferry.\n\r\nHistory buffs will recognize the name. It is where abolitionist John Brown led his famous raid back in 1859. Visitors can still see the armory he raided and lots of Civil War sites. Downtown Harpers Ferry even looks a lot like it did back in the 1800s—narrow streets and old brick buildings.\n\r\nIt’s the perfect place for true treats, which bills itself as the country’s only research-based historic candy store.\n\r\nSusan: Our retail store is located in a building that opened in 1843 and was part of the Civil War itself. So you can imagine just how beautiful it is, not updated at all other than to keep the building straight.\n\r\nKelly: That’s Susan.\n\r\nSusan: When you walk into our store, people think it’s really cute and really “old-time” and expect to see, “Wow, I’m so happy to see a real retro candy store!” Whoa, no, we’re not retro! We have retro, but we start before then.\n\r\nKelly: What Susan calls “retro candy” is stuff you might have found in the Five and Dime store: gummy sharks, lemon sours, tangerine drops, circus peanuts, stuff like that. But at True Treats, there are also older and less familiar sweets: beet sugar crystals, World War I ration bars, medicinal hard candies. In fact, the oldest products on the shelves come from thousands of years ago, like something called pastelli, which looks like peanut brittle, but with sesame seeds. Susan says Homer describes it in The Iliad as a honey and sesame pie.\n\r\nThis is a researcher’s approach to candy. In another life, Susan worked under the Clinton and Bush White Houses on communication initiatives. And before that, she was an academic in Massachusetts.\n\r\nSusan: I’m from Boston. Who would know?\n\r\nKelly: But that was before she came down to West Virginia and fell in love with the history of candy. She’s even written a book on the subject called Sweet as Sin: The Unwrapped Story of How Candy Became America’s Favorite Pleasure. And she arranges the shop in a very specific way.\n\r\nSusan: You can start first in history and walk chronologically all the way through the various time periods of candy. The history’s on the label, and what’s really important is that people get an experience of the history of candy because it’s never what they expect.\n\r\nKelly: Susan says the way to experience the shop is to walk through, pick out things that interest you, then go sit down in the front of the shop and eat your way through history.\n\r\nSusan: Often whole families or groups of people sitting around little tables, sampling everything and reading the labels. And if I’m there, I’ll come over, or one of my employees who knows the stories will come over, and we’ll tell them a little bit more about it.\n\r\nKelly: There are hundreds of different candies and teas and other sweets in the shop and on their website. So a lot to choose from. But to give you a little sample, let’s just take a quick walk through the timeline of candy history in chronological order.\n\r\nThe oldest section comes first. You’ve got the sesame brittle candies from The Iliad, but also a lot of ingredients native to the Americas. There are candies made with maple sugar. Native Americans were processing maple sap into sugars and sweets long before the Europeans arrived. And…\n\r\nSusan: … the cacao nib, which is really important because that comes from Mesoamerica and the Native Americans.\n\r\nKelly: Chocolate really took off in colonial America, specifically as a hot beverage. In other words, hot chocolate. People would mix it into milk or cream and grate spices on top. Martha Washington made hers out of steeped cacao shells. Susan says that as the Revolutionary War got underway, the drink became political.\n\r\nSusan: Chocolate was actually a vehicle during the American Revolution in their boycotting of teas, of the British tea, and they needed alternatives. And one of the alternatives was chocolate, and they really pushed, “Everybody’s got to have chocolate. They’ve got to drink that.”\n\r\nKelly: In the 1780s, Thomas Jefferson even declared that chocolate would one day become a more popular drink than coffee or tea in the U.S. It didn’t happen, but not a bad idea.\n\r\nMoving on to the 1800s, the Civil War is coming. An intriguing story that pops out from this section also has to do with boycotts. As the country became more and more divided over slavery, people looked for ways to strike at the system economically.\n\r\nSusan: What happened with the abolitionists is they looked for a number of ways to boycott the economy of slavery, by taking away the produce or finding alternatives to the produce that were funding slavery through its sales, and obviously cane sugar was a big one. So what they did instead was they found alternatives and they promoted those.\n\r\nKelly: Groups called “free produce societies” formed and promoted alternatives to cane sugar like honey, corn syrup, and syrup made from a grain called sorghum. The most interesting-looking alternative can be found at True Treats. It comes in a small glass jar and looks almost like golden raisins: these little orange pink crystals.\n\r\nSusan: Beet sugar! So today, a huge amount of the sugar that we have is actually beet sugar, and that goes in the candy.\n\r\nKelly: Moving on to the early 1900s, things start to look a little more recognizable. We start to see candies wrapped up with brand names as industrialization comes to the candy world.\n\r\nSusan: But at that point you would have things called cough drops, the Pine Brothers cough drops, the Smith Brothers cough drops. Is it a medicine or is it a candy? Well, yes, both, right? And today when we take these Halls or these various medicines that have been around for a really long time, what you’re getting is essentially a candy. So why worry about it, you know, but there was that crossover.\n\r\nKelly: There are also some interesting chocolate bars, including some brands that are new to me, like one called Goldenberg’s Peanut Chews. It looks a little like a Payday, but it’s made of peanuts and molasses. This one actually has a military connection.\n\r\nSusan: During World War I, people were making candy bars, and they were called “stuffed chocolate,” but they were basically candy bars that didn’t just have chocolate but had nuts and caramel. And they wound up being in one of the first rations during the First World War.\n\r\nSo they sent Goldenberg’s Peanut Chews and a couple others. They sent it off to the World War I soldiers.They came back saying, “I love these candy bars. These are so great.”\n\r\nKelly: Including these chocolate bars in rations wasn’t just for a morale boost. It was meant to be a quick source of energy: high fat, high calorie, easy to eat. And chocolate bars continued to be known for that after the war was over.\n\r\nSusan: During the Depression, they were marketed as an inexpensive meal in a bar. That’s how they marketed them.\n\r\nKelly: Fun fact: The Mr. Goodbar was one of these. It was created by the Hershey Company in 1925 and advertised as a tasty lunch.\n\r\nBy this time, we’re coming back around to the modern age or close to it. This is when we get into the retro candy, the kind of stuff you see at the Five and Dime or in your parents’ or grandparents’ candy dishes: Malted milk balls, rock candy, bubble gum cigarettes (you really don’t see those anymore).\n\r\nThis section, Susan says, is a crowd favorite.\n\r\nSusan: What they really, really love is when they read the story of the retro candy. And what they do with that, and what they do with eating that is they talk about their grandparents, and they talk about where they lived, and they talk about the candy store on the corner.\n\r\nKelly: For Susan, this is what the store is all about: Learning about the past in a new and unusual way.\n\r\nSusan: It’s a visceral experience of history. When you eat the candies, you know where they’re from, when they’re from, a little bit about the role they played, and then you get to be able to smell, taste, and enjoy it, and get more if you want, you know, it’s that kind of experience.\n\r\nKelly: And maybe the next time you have a candy bar, you’ll think about World War I.\n\r\nTrue Treats is open daily. They also have an extensive website if you are craving Goldenberg’s Peanut Chews or some of the other interesting sweets we talked about on today’s show.\n\r\nListen and subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and all major podcast apps.\n\r\nOur podcast is a co-production of Atlas Obscura and Sirius XM Podcasts.

Still, subsequent analysis suggests the painting is a work of the San people, hunter-gatherers who lived in the area thousands of years ago.  Brandberg Mountain is a significant spiritual site to the San Bushmen. \n\r\nThe location of the rock wall art is now a protected Namibian heritage site.  After decades of wear and tear by tourists, two horizontal metal bars protect the art while permitting complete viewing.","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.atlasobscura.com\u002Fplaces\u002Fbrandberg-white-lady",[14,13],{"id":1809,"title":1810,"content":1811,"link":1812,"isPositive":10,"positivity":99,"tags":1813,"tagString":944,"pubDate":1814,"source":1767,"timestamp":1694},324,"The Clock House in Baltimore, Maryland","This Victorian rowhome on the corner of 21st and St. Paul features three large mechanical clocks, wound by hand by its resident.\n\r\nMost unusually, a wrought-iron and copper dragon sits below one of the clocks, striking the hour with its tail on a bell hanging from its mouth.The home is said to contain a collection of antique clocks, fans, organs, and mechanical music devices curated by restoration expert Durward Center.\n\r\nMr. Center has restored notable instruments, including the organ at Oakley Court in the UK—made famous by the Dracula movies and the Rocky Horror Picture Show.","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.atlasobscura.com\u002Fplaces\u002Fthe-clock-house",[49,13],"Wed, 20 May 2026 14:00:00 -0400",{"id":1816,"title":1817,"content":1818,"link":1819,"isPositive":10,"positivity":121,"tags":1820,"tagString":1821,"pubDate":1822,"source":1767,"timestamp":1694},325,"Bramall Hall in Bramhall, England","Bramall Hall in the Bramhall  district of Stockport , UK, (the difference in spelling is correct and has varied a lot over the centuries) is a typical Tudor timber-framed manor house constructed from timbers held together by mortice and tenon joints secured with wooden pegs. The gaps between the timbers were filled with wattle and daub.\n\r\nBramall Hall, in its current form, was constructed  by the Davenport family in the 16th century, although the earliest part of the house originated from the 14th century. The manor of Bramhall originated in the 11th century when William the Conqueror seized two adjacent Saxon manors and handed the land to one of his Norman supporters. The hall currently  sits in 50 acres of fine parkland which is open to the public (free of charge).
