HS2 passes just south of the village proper.
The cut is on Willerby land. It's best leave anything turned up there but some people can be a bit too curious.

Last year we saw an increase of graffiti depictions the Wicker King. This year colleagues in the Folklore department report an uptick in Wicker King sightings. This matter needs further study. – Sophie Morley of Woden College's Graffiti Research and Formalisation Team (GRAFT), 1983

I’m not saying the iplayer algorithm is a load of old bum*, but does the Venn diagram of people who want to watch this, and people who would respond to a trailer for The Apprentice without saying ‘oh, fuck OFF’ have an awful lot of overlap?

Also a great nugget for all book historians, professional vintagers worked in revolutionary America to ensure that pamphlets were stained and foxed immediately after printing to look real and „old“. They probably did this in Boston with tea.

Correlation. No causation.
ICE was formed after the first season of The Wire debuted on HBO.
ICE is an entity that didn't even exist until 2003. Its functions were tasked to other entities for generations. If its thuggery is abolished, those functions return to Customs/CBP. Not so with basic constabularies, organized and maintained in every society for centuries.
Abolish ICE. Not policing.

Incarceration of people mirrored in the incarceration of data, the sickening metaphor of new authoritarianism. Both have a staggering human cost at the end, although of different immediacy.
The largest infrastructure projects currently being built in the US appear to be data centers and detention centers. The AI boom has coincided with ICE becoming the most heavily funded government agency. It's hard not to see a connection: This is the architectures of digital fascism
