Shanidar Z 80s cheese
Shanidar Z came back from Iraq as hand luggage. When Pomeroy
moved from Liverpool to Cambridge in 2018, she drove the Neanderthal down
packed in a
suitcase, in a car that also contained the remains of John of
Wheathampsted, a 15th century abbot of St Albans (“I introduced them to
eighties cheese on the radio”).

They did nothing while in power
Nothing with the Supreme Court--add more, add younger? No.
Nothing with the Electoral College--not a damn word. No.
Nothing with creating more parties or dissolving all parties, something to make things less divisive. None.
No safeguards at all! Because norms.
Can't even get rid of Daylight Savings time.
Too damn blinded and ridged. No imagination.
No wiliness in the fight of underhandedness.
This is me today

My vote/voice doesn't count and only Michigan and Pennsylvania matters
I'm Xing you all out. I'm Xing out everything. X you.
I will be free
My daughter will be free
I'm a squirrel on a moldy jack-o-lantern nibbling a walnut
I'm a bird, I'm the sun
I'm the stars, I'm the moon
Go ahead, shatter your pursuit of happiness
You can't catch me
The Broligarchs Are Trying to Have Their Way
The antidemocratic politics of having it all

Ectoplasmic loogie
From the Tyne and Wear Archives and Museums
Ectoplasm
This mysterious collection of images have been discovered within the photographic collections of Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums.
Reference: TWCMS -H13098-73-11
The lantern slides are from a series titled 'Psychic Photography From A New Angle' and feature eerie images of the supposedly paranormal and unknown forces caught on camera.
Very little is known of the origins of this collection. The slides were designed to accompany a lecture by a Mr C.P. MacCarthy of 15 Wilkinson Street, Sheffield.
Mr MacCarthy produced the images under test conditions in 1934 in front of an invited committee at 76 Clarkehouse Road, Sheffield. He states the intention was to ‘demonstrate under test conditions Fake Psychic Photography’ to this committee.
Mr MacCarthy states his three reasons for this demonstration.
1.To prove the possibility of Fake under test conditions.
2.To show you cannot be too critical of such phenomena.
3.To indicate the increasing scope for fraud with the probability of genuine spirit photography.
Mr MacCarthy further guarantees ‘in the sum of five pounds, payable to any charitable institution, that no collusion exists, or has existed between myself and any other party in connection with this demonstration.’
Little is currently known of the Psychic demonstration. Who sat on the invited committee? Who was Mr MacCarthy? Why was he investigating Psychic Photography?
Can you help us with this information?
