In this Deep Dive episode, our hosts discuss the adoption of the Articles of Confederation in 1777, the birthdays of Georgia O'Keeffe, Ed Asner, and Erwin Rommel, and a surprising injury statistic about aerobics classes.
• 📜 On this day in 1777 the Second Continental Congress adopted the Articles of Confederation — Ethan and Amelia examine how that wartime decision created a loose confederation, constrained fiscal powers, shaped finance and provisioning during the Revolutionary War, and even influenced land use and resource management at the community level.
• 🎂 Today’s birthdays include Georgia O'Keeffe (1887), Ed Asner (1929), and Erwin Rommel (1891); the hosts focus on O'Keeffe’s relationship to nature, how her scale and subject choices reframed ecological perception, and how her persona and market positioning affected American art economics.
• 💡 Fact of the day: approximately every seven minutes, someone in an aerobics class pulls a hamstring — the hosts wrestle with what that frequency implies about injury patterns, context, and the framing of such a precise statistic.
