The Adventures of Admiral Byrd (and His Son)
During its 1933-34 season, CBS Radio listeners were treated to one of the most remarkable broadcast programs of all time: The Adventures of Admiral Byrd, a weekly 15 minute dispatch by Rear Admiral Richard Evelyn Byrd the 4th (1888-1957) from his base camp at the bottom of the world in Antartica. On this, his second Antactic expedition, the nation’s youngest Admiral was actually stationed by…

Favorite excerpts from my read of Richard E. Byrd's Alone thus far. Fantastic writer, manages to incorporate extensive descriptions of circulatory ventilation systems without things becoming dull. Also, the Corn Meal Incident.

" Yeah, sorry about that. I couldn't retrieve anything els, most of the files are pretty deep, and the signal quality is fucking trash too, you can zoom in to read it tho. Unfortunately, we don't have any funding, so that's the best we can do for now since working with Kor is pretty difficult.
Anyway if i remember correctly the video format file was actually retrived a while ago, we can technically do better now, but honestly, everyone's getting burnt out for working on the same thing over an over again and since the re location we haven't received any support, not that we really had any before that. but everything really feels like it's going down hill man. What are we even doing anymore.
Bro, chill out... it hard enough dealing with the heat down here, i dont wanna hear you whining, too.
Fuck you man, this is bullshit how long is it gonna take us to download every file in the God Damm world by our selves.
However long it takes man, nobody said it would be easy.. He'll Kalesh warned you that nobody would help us an that we'd be out here for while by ourselves, he said it specifically "by the time anybody realizes what were doing, it gonna be too late, where either going to be dead or completely finished", wasted effort.~probably..
Yeah, yeah, whatever...I don't even remember why we had to relocate at all, that was a bad call.. at least before we'd get gocket at an I could get a sandwich whenever I wanted. At least I felt like I was doing something.
Because the congregation raided us, and we all almost died, plus we aren't doing anything different.
That's no excuse, man. At least before we get the random yabrony for the Collective, throwing us a bone.
Look, dud, we can't keep relying on goodwill. This project needs to work on it own, find people who believe in it, and help us genuinely not because they have to.. like back home.
Plus Kalesh's fucking wild idea barely works its a miracle we get files at all, this project was a long shot at best so even back home we wouldn't get any support with how slow Kor is right now.
It not his fault he needs upgrades, man.
Nah, I bet you anything he's just dumb an lazy...."

“Una parte de mí permaneció para siempre en la latitud 80 grados 08 minutos Sur: lo que sobrevivió de mi juventud, mi vanidad, tal vez, y ciertamente mi escepticismo. Por otro lado, me llevé algo que antes no poseía por completo: la apreciación de la pura belleza y el milagro de estar vivo, y un conjunto de valores humildes. Todo esto sucedió hace cuatro años. La civilización no ha alterado mis ideas. Ahora vivo de manera más sencilla y con más paz”.
― Admiral Richard E. Byrd

Morto David Soul, il detective Hutch della leggendaria serie tv “Starsky & Hutch”
Tumblr media
La coppia di detective è diventata un'icona della cultura popolare, e il successo dello show ha contribuito significativamente alla fama di Soul
David Soul, nato David Richard Solberg, è stato non solo un volto iconico della televisione, ma anche un talentuoso cantautore e regista nel corso della sua carriera. Oltre al suo ruolo indimenticabile in “Starsky & Hutch“, Soul ha recitato in altre produzioni di successo come Star Trek e “Una 44 Magnum per l’ispettore Callaghan” con Clint Eastwood. L’attore statunitense è deceduto giovedì 4 gennaio, lasciando un vuoto nel cuore dei suoi fan e nel mondo dello spettacolo. La moglie ha comunicato che Soul ha affrontato con coraggio la sua battaglia per la vita circondato dall’affetto della famiglia.
Tumblr media
La carriera di David Soul è stata versatile e apprezzata. Inizialmente, ha intrapreso la strada della musica folk, esibendosi insieme a grandi nomi come Frank Zappa e i Byrds. Tuttavia, è stato il passaggio alla recitazione che lo ha portato alla ribalta, con ruoli in telefilm di successo negli anni ’60 e ’70. Il clou della sua carriera è stato, senza dubbio, il ruolo di Hutch accanto a Paul Michael Glaser in “Starsky & Hutch“. La coppia di detective è diventata un’icona della cultura popolare, e il successo dello show ha contribuito significativamente alla fama di Soul.Negli anni successivi al successo televisivo, Soul ha continuato a stupire il pubblico tornando alla musica, raggiungendo la vetta delle classifiche con brani come “Don’t Give Up On Us” e “Silver Lady”. Nonostante le sfide personali, tra cui un periodo di incarcerazione negli anni ’80 per aggressione alla moglie di allora, Patti Carnel Sherman, Soul è riuscito a rialzarsi e a contribuire ancora al mondo dell’intrattenimento.
Tumblr media
David Soul, known for playing the iconic detective Kenneth Hutchinson of the duo Starsky and Hutch, has died at the age of 80. The American gossip magazine TMZ broke the news. He was born in Chicago but had English citizenship. In addition to the popular TV series also "Salem's Lot", "Star Trek" and the cult "A 44 Magnum for Inspector Callaghan" alongside Clint Eastwood.
How David Soul died
David Soul died on Thursday in a hospital in London following a battle with cancer. According to what was reported by TMZ, the actor had been suffering from it for some time as well as numerous health problems suffered in old age. In particular, David Soul suffered from chronic bronchopneumonia, due to more than 50 years as an avid smoker: "he smoked three packs of cigarettes a day", says the newspaper.

The career of David Soul
David Soul became an absolute pop icon in the 70s thanks to Starsky and Hutch. He was the blond-haired, icy-eyed detective next to Detective Dave Starsky, played by Paul Michael Glaser. David Soul appeared in all 92 episodes of the series, spanning a four-season span from 1975 to 1979 and also directing some episodes. Other popular shows also include "Salem's Lot", the first miniseries based on the novel of the same name by Stephen King and directed by Tobe Hopper in which he played the protagonist Ben Mears and which in Italy was released with the title "The Last Days of Salem ", merged into a single 112-minute version. Before his great popularity with the series, he had gained recognition in the role of Agent Davis in the film A 44 Magnum for Inspector Callaghan. David Soul had also established himself as a singer by releasing five studio albums and seven collections between 1976 and 2020
