Prophet Royal Robertson outside his home (from the documentary Make by Scott Ogden and Malcolm Hearn[1])
In this extract from the film Celestial Knowledge Credo Mutwa speaks about aliens or greys beings known as Mantindane in Africa.
Stories of alien sightings and landings of mysterious aircraft have emerged from Iino as far back as the 1970s. Tsugio Kinoshita, a researcher of unidentified flying objects, said he first saw such an UFO in 1972 at the age of 25. Kinoshita was hiking a mountain in Fukushima prefecture with four friends when suddenly a saucer-like shape appeared in front of them. “This thing stuck out in front of me. Starting and stopping in the blue sky. Then all of a sudden, it was gone,” he told VICE World …

Following federal cuts to history-focused organizations, the president of the Canadian Historical Association, Colin Coates, sent this letter to Marc Miller, the Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture.
One thing might not be obvious: Coates's reference to Carney's recent Quebec City speech suggests Canadians' need for historical context right now. He doesn't agree with Carney's claims. In fact, most Canadian historians would dispute them.

Letter: Dear Minister Miller, I am writing to you in my capacity as president of the Canadian Historical Association | Société historique du Canada. The members of our association have been distressed to see the recent news about cutbacks in a number of federal government units that are very important to all Canadians who are interested in the history of our country: Library and Archives Canada, the Canadian Museum of History and the Canadian War Museum, Parks Canada, and Statistics Canad…
Letter: While we cannot expect the federal government to address problems at the provincial level, in your role as Minister of Canadian Heritage, we hope that we can count on you to advocate on behalf of all Canadians to maintain and enhance the role of agencies that collect data and records and make them accessible to broad publics. We recognise that the country faces many current challenges, but we do not want short-sighted decisions to have long-lasting effects on the future study of the co…

On a whim, I went to the Royal Festival Hall to see Bruce Liu playing Ravel. Pretty cool. He makes the fiendishly difficult appear entirely effortless.
I think last time I went there, I was a callow youth. It's bigger than I remember!

A broad stage is flanked by audience boxes sticking out of the walls like the Star Wars senate. On the stage some musicians are preparing. Not the whole orchestra, just the woodwind and a few cellos. A huge organ fills the far wall behind the stage.
A view looking up the Thames to Big Ben, from a concrete balcony a couple of storeys up. A cable stay bridge, with white tubular steel struts, crosses the river. The sky is mixed cloud and blue sky, with the sun lining the clouds bright silver.

And once again with #AltText4You.
Why is that one simple link so hard to click?

An image of a BlueSky post by Robert Reich @rbreich.bsky.social reading: "Search-and-rescue crews were “flying blind" trying to rescue survivors from deadly tornadoes that hit the Midwest last week. Why? Because Kristi Noem hadn't approved FEMA's $200,000 contract with a tornado-tracking tool. But she had time to spend $220 million on anti-immigrant ads. Priorities."

TIL: Bud "Harold" Cort hatte auch eine kleine Rolle in einem meiner absoluten Lieblingsfilme. Er spielte in Michael Manns "Heat" von 1995 den schmierigen Pommesjongleur ('Solenko'), der den späteren Fluchtfahrer ('Donald') brutal runtermacht und dessen Lage als Häftling auf Bewährung eiskalt ausnutzen will...
#funfact

Filmstill aus 'Heat' (1995) von Michael Mann: Bud Cort als Solenko, der schmierige Imbissbudenmanager. Unrasiert, mit zynischem Gesichtsausdruck, die rechte Augenbraue verächtlich hochgezogen, die Haare mit weit zurückweichendem Haaransatz glatt nach hintengekämmt. Eine durch und durch unsympathische Rolle.
