The original Chuck E Cheese, scowling and holding a cigar

The original Chuck E Cheese definitely looks like he'd tell a child to go fuck themselves while ashing his cigar on their pizza.

A 1944 map by geologist Harold Fisk charts a 40-mile stretch of the Mississippi River from Friars Point to Gunnison, Mississippi.

Heaps of blue and white 'delftware' dishes, stuck together and with broken edges. The decorations appear to be individual designs, with flowers and foliage, geometric patterns, birds and brushstrokes. Several of the ceramic trivets are visible, intended to separate the dishes and prevent them from sticking together. These were in the Museum of London before it closed in order to reestablish as London Museum in Smithfield Market, planned for later in 2026.

Stuff that's discarded tells a tale too.
These stacks of fused plates w trivets resulted from a Rotherhithe pottery kiln overheating disastrously c.1620-30.
Near Pickleherring site in Southwark, a London delftware production centre from c.1618.
Will they be in new London Museum 2026?

IPSO have published their verdict on The Daily Telegraph’s fake £345,000-a year banker couple who claimed they couldn’t afford five holidays.

WH Auden
