Ian Smith, the former leader of Rhodesia under white minority rule, could have conceivably watched the actor Ian Smith return to Neighbours as the character Harold Bishop in 1996, five years after Harold was washed out to sea. Smith could have watched Smith play Harold for the next decade.

Jack Lang, who was dismissed as Premier of New South Wales in 1932, could have watched the Aunty Jack show usher in the era of colour television in Australia in 1975

Sorry, correction. He could have played the arcade version, which was released in December 1988. The Megadrive version came out after his death.

Oh you’re right! Argh!

Japanese Emperor Hirohito, whose surrender to the Allies in August 1945 signalled the end of the Second World War, could conceivably have played Ghouls and Ghosts on the newly released Sega Megadrive.

One of the conspirators who helped Gavrilo Princip shoot Archduke Franz Ferdinand survived to see the breakup of Yugoslavia. He could conceivably have watched the Neighbours episode where Scott and Charlene got married

Well I have many archival archrivals…

Once again I'm looking for recommendations of newly digitised archives/collections relating to radical history (broadly defined).

If you are a supporter and reader of @contingent-mag.bsky.social one of the biggest things you can do to help us at the moment is get this CFP to the NTT folks in your life. The fracturing of social media has made it very difficult to get the word out esp. to adjuncts and VAPs.

The campus used to have these signs around warning about magpies

Facebook reminds me that this is the anniversary of when a magpie walked into the tutorial room and I had to evacuate the class as it started swooping around the room. It then pooped on a desk before leaving.

Have you listened to Quickly Kevin’s deep dive into the Steve Bruce trilogy?

Hoping Steve Bruce’s sacking by Blackpool will free him up to grace us with a new series of murder mysteries. Football’s loss is literature’s gain.
