There have long been rumors that the Skull and Bones fraternity house in New Haven contains the skull of Apache leader Geronimo.
A researcher unearthed a letter in 2006 that seemed to corroborate that claim.
I found two more letters in Yale’s archives, along with more corroborating evidence.

While we’re on the topic:
Letters I found in Yale archives said Skull and Bones members took Native American remains from a grave in Oklahoma in 1918.

#NowWatching Tarkovsky’s STALKER. While there are plenty more important observations to make, I’m blown away by the sound design. And the fine art nature of the cinematography. 📽️ #FilmSky

Demolishing the East Wing of the White House before finalizing plans for what will be built above its ruins is a near-perfect metaphor for Trump's approach to economic policy. The only difference is the wrecking crew doesn’t claim the rubble is evidence of unprecedented growth.

Heading out shortly to see IT WAS JUST AN ACCIDENT, followed by a Q&A with Jafar Panahi, at @burnsfilmcenter.bsky.social.
Tomorrow we watch and discuss Tarkovsky’s STALKER with the virtual film group.
Yesterday, saw MURDER IN THE FIRST and OH, CANADA at home.
We are serious people! 📽️ #FilmSky

Saw the latest Knives Out today, which is pretty perfect by the way, but 90 minutes into it an older lady in front of us exclaimed, "I don't think this is Hamnet!" and left.
Still trying to figure out why it took her an hour and a half to reach that conclusion.

This is why Jasmine is worried—and why Gino is trying to say she committed marriage fraud. It’s why she has to be so adamant about how much she loved Gino and isn’t interested in marrying Matt.

It could almost be an early Lanthimos film.

The person in my little local film club who really hates gore will be away next week. I'm deciding between THE TOWN or GONE BABY GONE. I've seen and liked both of them but not for awhile.

Is it me, or is Robyn more insufferable now than in earlier seasons?
Also, why does Kody keep talking about getting "our 25%"--since he and Robyn are getting 50%.

We moved a little over 10 years ago. Just found a box, standing up rather than on its side, of (mostly) wine bottles in the garage. Three had sparkling wine tops, but one of those seems to be non-alcoholic.
We're planning Aperol spritzes for Thanksgiving. Think the corks are still any good?
