'New [British Academy-funded] research shows that visits to prison museums and other dark heritage sites are shaped less by labels, displays or audio guides, and more by how people experience them together.'
New research suggests people make sense of disturbing places together, not alone | King's College London
Rather than experiencing museum exhibits in isolation, visitors constantly look to one another to make sense of what they are seeing.

Snakes on an Astral Plane

This was an interesting formation, coming in at an unusual angle to the main rays, snaking and twisting about.

I like the big storms, and their unusual structures!

Quite rightly some have responded to this by asking what about the Chaggosians?
Brief timeline:
1. French first settle enslaved people from East Africa and Malaya, “purchased” in Mauritius, on the Chagos Islands to produce copra & coconuts. They administer islands from Mauritius.
Trump versus reality on the Chagos Islands:

1. UK is not ‘giving away’ the Chagos Islands. It is restoring them to Mauritius having split them off from the former colony when it became independent in 1965.
2. There is a very compelling reason: in 1965 the UN objected …

Reading some Christian dominionist authors on their tactics for political victory involving fertility and education and came across this quote from Gary North (former son-in-law of R. J. Rushdoony).
