New Hampshire high schoolers compete in TV quiz show, now in its 43rd season
But when asked where actress Cynthia Nixon, who played Miranda on 'Sex and the City,' ran for governor, senior Reagan Sutherland got it wrong. She said California. The right answer was New York.

And when asked which US Supreme Court decision in 1966 established the 'Miranda rights' that police read when they arrest someone, senior Max Shamansky failed to come up with 'Miranda v. Arizona' — which earned Plymouth Regional's third strike and ended their second round.

The Prospect Mountain Timberwolves gained ground in the fourth and final round, thanks in large part to ninth-grader Lucas Lund, who answered four questions correctly, including a 40-point video question about the formerly enslaved 19th century abolitionist, writer, and orator Frederick Douglass.
Teams from Plymouth Regional High School and Prospect Mountain High School join host Jon Cannon, a social studies teacher at Bow High School, on the set of New Hampshire PBS's "Granite State Challenge," a TV quiz show for high schoolers, during the taping of the 2025 season's first episode, which aired Thursday.

Spoiler alert: Plymouth Regional's team clung to their lead until the end and won 360-220, advancing to the next stage of the tournament.
The show's host, Jon Cannon, is a social studies teacher at Bow High School who previously competed on the Granite State Challenge himself. He asks questions on a wide range of topics, from history and literature to math and science, pop culture, and more. The video questions include some notable cameos as well, including from TV personality Tom Bergeron, who was the first host of the show, organizers said.
New Hampshire PBS President and CEO Peter A. Frid said this show, now in its 43rd season, is 'exciting' and fully aligns with the station's ethos by 'celebrating academic excellence and encouraging students to challenge themselves intellectually.'

Consultant behind AI-generated robocalls mimicking Biden goes on trial in New Hampshire
Get N.H. Morning Report A weekday newsletter delivering the N.H. news you need to know right to your inbox. Enter Email Sign Up 'It's important that you save your vote for the November election,' voters were told. 'Your votes make a difference in November, not this Tuesday.' Advertisement Kramer, who owns a firm specializing in get-out-the-vote projects, has said he wasn't trying to influence the election but rather wanted to 'Maybe I'm a villain today, but I think in the end we get a better country and better democracy because of what I've done, deliberately,' Kramer told The Associated Press in February 2024. Advertisement Ahead of the trial, prosecutors sought to prevent Kramer from arguing that the primary was a meaningless straw poll because it wasn't sanctioned by the Democratic National Committee. At Biden's request, The state argued such evidence was irrelevant and could confuse jurors, but Judge Elizabeth Leonard denied the motion in March, saying the DNC's actions and Kramer's understanding of them were relevant to his motive and intent. She did grant the prosecution's request that the court accept as fact that the state held its presidential primary election as defined by law on Jan. 23, 2024. Jurors will be informed of that conclusion but won't be required to accept it. Defense says the only attack came from the DNC In his opening statement, defense attorney Thomas Reid said the robocall was Kramer's 'opinion and commentary' on the DNC's initial decision to block the state's delegates to the convention. 'That, ladies and gentlemen, was a brazen attack on your primary,' he said, referring to the DNC's actions. 'And it wasn't done by Steve Kramer.' 'He didn't see it as a real election, because it wasn't,' Reid said. Kramer faces Advertisement Kramer's attorney argued that his client didn't impersonate a candidate because the message didn't include Biden's name, and Biden wasn't a declared candidate in the primary. He also said the robocall message didn't tell anyone not to vote, a point quickly contradicted by the first half dozen witnesses for the prosecution. 'How else would one take it?' said Theodore Bosen, a retired lawyer from Berlin who received the call. 'That was horrific to my sensibilities that anybody would be trying to influence the vote in any election,' he said. On cross-examination, O'Donnell, the prosecutor, told jurors that Kramer tried to minimize his connection to the calls, including using his father's online banking account to pay the magician and fabricating the name of a 'client' when emailing a company involved in sending the calls. And he didn't contact authorities until the magician publicly identified him and authorities had begun tracing the calls to him, O'Donnell said. 'He knew it was wrong and was trying to get away with it,' O'Donnell said. Trial begins as the national landscape on AI is shifting Kramer The agency was developing AI-related rules when Donald Trump won the presidency, but has since shown signs of a possible shift toward loosening regulations. And though many states have enacted legislation regulating AI deepfakes in political campaigns, House Republicans in Congress recently added a clause to their signature tax bill that would ban states and localities from regulating artificial intelligence for a decade.

Carrie & Aidan Are Facing This Classic Long-Distance Struggle in 'And Just Like That' Season 3
Warning: This article contains spoilers for And Just Like That… season 3, episode 1. Fans of Sex and the City and And Just Like That… have seen Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) and Aidan (John Corbett) go through a lot over the years, and the third season of AJLT will be no different. More from SheKnows Carrie & Aidan's Full Relationship Timeline From Sex and The City to And Just Like That At the end of season 2, the on-and-off couple agreed on an unconventional deal. Despite Carrie buying a beautiful Gramercy Park apartment for them to move in together, Aidan decided to stay in Virginia because his 14-year-old son Wyatt was having a hard time at school. As he delivered the news, he asked Carrie to wait five years. By then, Wyatt will be off to college, and he'll finally be able to leave his life behind and move to the Big Apple to be with her. Carrie was surprised, but she didn't exactly say no. 'No matter what happens… this was not a mistake,' Carrie said the next day as they said goodbye, per TVLine. So, as the third season of the show came around this week on May 29, fans might've been asking themselves what's really going on between them. Are they breaking up? Are they going long-distance? If episode one is any indication, Carrie and Aidan aren't breaking things off entirely. While they were keeping it cool by only sending postcards to one another at first, Aidan then called Carrie in the middle of the night. 'I miss you so much,' he says when she picks up. Then, when she called him out for breaking his own rules by calling, Aidan, who's in his truck in the middle of a field, says, 'All of that went out the window after this third beer.' Quickly, their convo goes from pleasantries to full-on phone sex. 'You know how much I love you, Carrie,' he says, while asking her to touch herself. Then, right when they were both getting into it, Aidan buzzes the horn of his truck. 'I scared myself, I hit the horn with my knee,' he says. 'I might've s– my pants a little.' After that, while Aidan gets right back into it, Carrie's understandably turned off. 'C'mon, we can get back there,' he said. 'Can we?' Carrie asks back, laughing. As she struggles to get back in the mood, she exchanges eye contact with her adorable new cat, Shoe. The mood is decidedly gone for her, but Aidan keeps going and finishes. Carrie, for her part, fakes it. Later in the episode, Carrie summarizes the experience to best friends Charlotte (Kristin Davis) and Miranda (Cynthia Nixon). 'He said he missed me and we had phone sex,' she says. 'More specifically, he had phone sex, I stopped midway. The kitty was watching, her little eyes were so curious. So when he went there, I faked it.' While both Charlotte and Miranda agreed that faking it was no big deal, after all a study published in the Archives of Sexual Behavior in 2010 stated that up to 80% of women have admitted to faking it with a sexual partner, per NBC News, Carrie couldn't get past it. So, she comes clean to Aidan in the last scene of the episode. 'I have a confession, I wasn't totally there with you the other night and I said I was,' she tells Aidan in a call at the end of the episode. She then tries to start up phone sex once again, this time asking him to touch himself. 'Uh, Carrie, I can't do this right now,' Aidan then replies. 'I'm in bed with Wyatt, he's asleep, he had a bad night.' Embarrassed and speechless, Carrie apologizes and almost immediately turns off the call. We'll add here that this isn't just the show and its creator, Michael Patrick King, not knowing how to portray phone sex. After all, longtime viewers of SATC might remember Miranda's phone sex adventures back in season 3, episode 10. Things got steamy over the phone, and we all wondered if we were doing it wrong all along. But, this time around, the show wanted to see a couple struggle through it. And while And Just Like That… has gotten hate over the years for being 'unrelatable,' this storyline between Carrie and Aidan is anything but. In a 2018 study from Elite Daily, 48.6% of respondents said that they never had phone sex over the phone. So, unsurprisingly, countless long-distance couples out there can relate to struggling to get the knack of it, at least in the beginning. When is the right time to get into the mood? What if the signal glitches? What if my pet is looking at me? These are all questions that LDR couples around the world may be asking themselves. And while some couples might eventually become pros, others, like Carrie and Aidan, might need a little of SheKnows 30 Photos of Marilyn Monroe's Too-Short Life, From 1947-1962 Every Time Heidi Klum's Gorgeous, Colorful Fashion Choices Stopped Us in Our Tracks Elizabeth Hurley & Billy Ray Cyrus, & More of the Best Red Carpet Debuts From Celebrity Couples Over the Years
