This past Saturday I caught @rhiannongiddens.bsky.social,
Justin Robinson & friends celebrating the life and work of Joe & Odell Thompson at the Mebane community center. An extraordinary performance. Here's a bit of "Dona's got a rambling mind." 🪕🪕🪕🔥🔥

Interesting note on Cold War-era CIA experiments on bilocation / remote viewing 🧐

I clocked this one a few times in Berlin too - Independent trucks is a skateboard company that used to have a logo that resembles the SS's iron cross - they discontinued it, but the Neo-Nazis seek out the old tees.

Found in a friend's family archive. Reminds me of the old fiddle tune "Did you ever see the Devil, Uncle Joe?"

I saw this logo in Berlin a few times - it's the old logo of Independent trucks - a skateboard company... but these folks did not skate 👀

Fascinating interview with @aestallings.bsky.social, I was particularly struck by the discussion of the future of the Duveen gallery, and Google Street view - I used Google Street View to visit the British Museum while writing my book, and there are many glitches worth exploring:

Very cool to see Beth Darlington-Bailey's review of Ghosts of the British Museum published in the Journal for the Society of Psychical Research 🙌🏼

A bit of a full circle moment as in the book I mention the SPR as the place where the "Stone Tape Theory" was first articulated.

I'm reminded of the following tweet. I've heard of a few former employees who felt they were wronged & acted out in some way. Will be interesting if we get more detail.

Missed this when it was first published, but what an incredible passage below 👀... this is quite close to how I've attempted to reframe the "repatriation debate" in my book. h/t @shokes.bsky.social
