#Deucember Day 8
Mad Max (1979)
A vengeful cop tries to maintain law and order in a dystopian society of the future.
After introducing the R rating in 1971, a ton of Australian made exploitation films, like Mad Max, were made from the early 1970s through the 80s, known as the “Ozploitation“ era.

True magick requires setting an intention, focusing your will, and believing in your strength. There's no passive magick. Magic potions don't exist like they do in video games.

Here is the positive and negative impressions of Bathyuriscus fimbriatus. This specimen comes from the Middle Cambrian (Drumian) Marjum Formation in House Range, Utah. The Marjum is age equivalent to the Wheeler Shale but with slightly better preservation.

The ghost is often a manifestation of things we ought to know, but cannot interpret correctly. A failure of translation across time, across place. For few truly speak the language of mystery, the tongues of the dead. - Rev. Æthelstan Morley, Church of England ghost-layer
