• 📜 North Carolina ratified the U.S. Constitution in 1789 and became the twelfth state — a concise reflection on belonging, legal alignment with the federal framework, and the stability that ratification signified in the early Republic.
• 🎂 We celebrate the birthdays of Voltaire (1694), René Magritte (1898), and Harold Ramis (1944). The conversation highlights Voltaire’s role as an Enlightenment public intellectual who used wit, correspondence, and networks to challenge dogma and defend toleration.
• 💡 Fact of the day: Alka‑Seltzer.com has the highest number of visitors who are women aged 35–44 — a demographic concentration with implications for privacy, targeted messaging, and risk modeling in web security and content strategy.
