Incredibly Random, Potentially Useless Info Pt. 1

(Un)fortunately with all my reading (which is not even that much) I acquire a lot of random information that I find interesting and am pretty good at being annoying about bringing it up in conversation. To that end, one of my friends one day suggested I send out a newsletter said random info. Rather than inundate and bore people, I figured a kind of monthly blogpost would be useful for my own memory and reference. So, let 's see how long I sustain this (if at all):

  • Muslim women were the last category of citizens to gain the right to vote in France, in 1958
    • Source: Ian Coller, Muslims and Citizens
  • MGM is the last independent studio in the US (the rest being owned by corporations or PE groups)
    • SoFi newsletter, also Wikipedia
  • Dostoevsky's father died in a similar fashion to the Karamazov patriarch--likely killed by peasants
    • Alex Christofi, Dostoevsky in Love
