I get it. We were living in PA and hosting newly arrived refugees in our home during the first Trump term, or we were until no new refugees were arriving. I hope everyone is able to stay safe today.

I meant to say yesterday that I see the incredible work you do welcoming and assisting migrants at airports.

Relatedly, I had a chat with George Hurley, drummer with fIREHOSE, on a petrol station forecourt in Stoke very early one morning. Amazingly, I had actually been watching the band play, in Leeds, just a few hours earlier.

I saw Paul Daniels putting petrol in his Roller at a garage on the A1. Couldn't see if Debbie was with him.

We saw him in Odense last summer. A first and last for me, I guess.

It must be at least two decades since I read it, but I remember really enjoying it.

Relatedly (maybe), I highly recommend Richard Stillson's fascinating "Spreading the Word: A History of Information in the California Gold Rush."

I'm a complete sucker for many of them, but Dancing Queen above all, which has an ineffable melancholy.

Though, I'm pretty sure that in trying to shaft each other they're only going to shaft the rest of us even more. Again.

Nordvest was an interwar development designed to give workers a chance to escape the cramped and poorly maintained housing closer into the centre of the city, a development supplied with all the facilities necessary to life, thanks to the Kommune.

And before that, walked past these beautiful 1930s housing blocks.

In Denmark (or, at least in my institution) we make extensive use of a written piece + oral exam assessed together. This is done for all bachelors and masters dissertations, but also for much for regular course assessment.

I'm genuinely very interested to learn more, in time. I really have found it puzzling.

I'm very interested to hear that you're doing this. I've long been puzzled by the contemporary obsession with protein. It seems like a performance. I don't have anything resembling a scientific perspective, only a personal/experiential one (as a long-term vegan).

I have done many, many things on a cold and rainy night in Stoke. But not that.

I read this last year. A great book, I thought. And this is a great cover.

The bar in the student union at North Staffs Poly, c. 1982-5, very definitely served snakebite, no questions asked.

The many condescending or even mocking comments under the Post story demonstrate why such cases as Lanier's are necessary resistance to a determination to perpetuate erasure.

"“This landmark settlement is not just a victory of my family, it’s a victory for every descendant who has carried the weight of a stolen past and dared to demand it back,” Tamara Lanier said. Katherine Burns' article makes it possible to read Lanier's case as an Information Wanted advertisement.
