If I had a comic store near me I would most likely spend a lot of money.

I used to live in Camden, London, where this Forbidden Planet is opening on 5th April.

I just got back the scans of my first roll of slide film!

Unique Photo in Old City is able to do E6 film processing, which seems to be a... unique capability among the remaining photo labs in Philadelphia. (They forgot to mount the slides as I requested, though, might have to do it myself.)

#Camden #Lee was leaving high school football practice in September when he saw the photograph, splashed across the New York Police Department’s social media accounts, that would soon upend his life.

In a crisp surveillance image, the 15-year-old stands alone in a hoodie and shorts, eyes cast down on a Brooklyn street.

“The pictured individual,” police declared in an accompanying caption, had “discharged a firearm” at the West Indian American Day parade,
killing one person and wounding four others.

“I see the NYPD logo. I see me. I see ‘suspect wanted for murder,’” Lee recalled.
“I couldn’t believe what was happening. Then everything went blurry.”

In private, police backpedaled almost immediately.

After meeting with Lee and his lawyer, they declined to bring charges, then quietly removed his photograph from their X and Instagram accounts.

But they have not publicly acknowledged the retraction, ignoring the repeated pleas of Lee and his mother, who say their lives remain threatened by the falsehood.

The family’s search for answers has raised questions about the NYPD’s policies for correcting misinformation at a time when the department is already facing scrutiny for other social media misrepresentations.

“I used to have a lot of trust in the NYPD and how they do things,”
said Lee’s mother, Chee Chee Brock, whose older son recently joined the force.

“But I raised my kids to admit when they made a mistake.
If you can blame an innocent kid for murder, what else can you get away with?”

The #NYPD said an image it circulated on social media of #Camden #Lee, a 15-year-old Brooklyn resident,
“mistakenly stated that he was wanted for the fatal shooting” at the West Indian American Day Parade in September.

Alexandra Rd Estate, #Camden #retrofit dilemma:

- Brutalist architecture
- Social housing
- Communal heating
- How to maintain?

Residents want to maintain integrity of original design. The homes are Grade II listed, iconic, used in numerous films. Also they don’t suffer from damp/mould and have flat rate billing.

But the council thinks the heating is costly and difficult to maintain.

My favourite thing about London Town is the breezy opportunity to enjoy a day out exploring the glorious cityscape!
