Oct 1962: an amateur taking a family shot in a field by Hatfield’s DeHavilland Airport catches the terrifying sight of a crashing Lightning fighter. Escaping with just 150 feet to go, the pilot’s parachute just opened & he landed in a greenhouse, where he fortunately/unfortunately broke his legs.

As with everything: make these programs universally free. If you are deeply concerned that rich people are getting access to universal government programs, then tax their incomes or assets.
A family where both parents earn 99k get 30 “free” childcare hours a week and a family where one parent is on minimum wage and one earns 100k get no “free” childcare hours at all. It’s a dumb system and I imagine most high earners game it in some way.

So we're planning to publish this one as one of our new Paperbacks from Hell. Only the book is so scarce that we can't find a copy to scan for our text. If anyone has one to lend us, send us a message. We'll swap you some free Valancourt books for your trouble!

At risk of sounding desperate (also, WHY ARE ALL THE JOURNOS STILL ON X) - if you're a TV / history writer or podcaster and fancy doing something on Season II of #AThousandBlows and the true history of 1880s boxing and boxers, get in touch.

Meanwhile when the Sisters of Our Lady Of Charity kindly handed the former Magdalene Laundry on Sean McDermott St back to the State, they hung on to the car park, so they will financially benefit from whatever memorial is eventually put there to the women they enslaved.
'“This is the first land rematriation by Catholic sisters in the history of the country,” Koteles said. “They're setting a precedent for the largest private landowner in the world—the Catholic Church—and that's a huge invitation to healing...”'

West of Zanzibar (1928, dir Tod Browning) is a wildly inappropriate, grotesque, lurid Lon Chaney exploitation flick (all compliments). Magician Phroso follows the man who ruined his life down to Africa and executes a slow, ruthless revenge. Chaney is phenomenal, the entire thing deeply suspect fun.
