I learned far more about metallurgy than I expected from this series.

That we were. Pleasure to have met you, as well.

Was great getting to chat with Tim, Al Getz and Steven Johnson today. Hugely deserved award for Mr. Hornbaker.

A Dem lawmaker and her husband were killed by a guy for their political views and it’s already out of the news.

William Gaines (and Al Feldstein) literally yelled "FUCK YOU!" into the phone Charles Murphy, hung up on his ass, and ran this as-is.

The Comics Code Authority had no stated rules regarding this content, but tried to block it anyway, which is all you need to know about how the CCA was implemented.

A couple of nice back-scratchers here.

The delay did not, in fact, help Joe Rice, as he lost a decision.

Good turnout, though, with over 3,000 paid customers in attendance.

There needs to be a streaming service for unaired pilots. This sounds so fun.

In the opener Sandy Romenoff won from Billy Nemenoff in 10:10 with a backward body slam.

Often painfully obvious when the sportswriter doesn't follow the sport.

Love some TV's Phrank!

In the late 1920s, there was no cure for this itch.

From the March 30th, 1927, Hattiesburg American. "Champion Banana Punisher, Born on a February 22, Is Going After State Records"

Champion Banana Punisher! The Hattiesburg American with the better headline for the same story.

From the April 1st, 1927, Clarion-Ledger, Jackson, Mississippi, "Champion Banana Eater Issues Defi".

It wasn't just boxers and wrestlers throwing challenges around in the 1920s! It's the New Augusta banana destroyer vs the man from Hot Coffee, Mississippi!

YES THIS HAPPENED. Also in a general sense if ASL interpreters are working one of my events and there is time, I try to give them access to any prepared materials and generally go over things that I suspect will present an issue for them. The idea they're not needed or useful is shitty ableist BS.

What Is Scientific Integrity—and How Does It Keep All of Us Safe? Scientific integrity policies limit censorship, intimidation and other forms of political interference in research.

To create a society in which each generation is better off than the last, policymakers must use the best available science. But when scientific findings run contrary to the policy preferences of these leaders, it is not unusual to see them attempt to hide it. act.ucsusa.org/3OKGoPc

Stanley Rogers' occupation listed as "Rastler" in the 1930 U.S. Census. But they spelled "Lithuanian" correctly.

Oreos, right? I mean, you gotta be quick or the lower half falls off into the milk...

I suspect no one who was properly diagnosed has ever "grown out of it". I'm glad there are so many people finally putting good information out about ADHD. Good luck, sir!

A thumb captured on microfilm.

An add for a wrestling and boxing show from Brigham City, Utah, in January 1933.

Someone could easily dedicate an entire feed here on thumbs captured on microfilm from the world's newspaper archives.

Newspaper clipping of wrestler, Joe Dillman, from 1934.

Who was Dynamite Joe Dillman? Someday, I hope to answer that question. So far, not a clue.

Someone please add Deep Space Nine and Bajor for scale.

Just close your eyes and imagine the Cubs game going to a commercial break.

Illustrated Wildlife Treasure case and cards.

How much to turn these into a collection of Illustrated Wrestling Treasury cards?

Clearly all that nonsense about quicksand in the 60s & 70s TV shows was really just metaphor for bookshops.

The moon through a Galaxy S24 & Celestron NexStar8SE, 16 November 2014.

My first, clumsy foray into astrophotography. Yes, the moon is made of green cheese. Or maybe my phone just smells funny.

Just as good in re-runs!
