I was thinking of Aztec Camera.
Speaking of Josef K:
Just a bit a fun as I’m adding new features to the blog, a run down of the 20 most popular Pathfinders columns on the blog. I’m not saying they are necessarily the most best of the columns but it does some indication of what catches people’s eye:

I might by wrong but the lady holding the anti-Galloway placard in the East London Lines article looks like a longstanding member of the AWL who I remember from back in the day.
As I’m not 100% sure I won’t give out her name in case it’s not her.
The Galloway clip where he’s dog-whistling about the ‘Deep State’ in the USA is from his own podcast show, MOATS:
Not sure how recent this clip is but it’s a bit of an eye opener. The suggestion that the ‘Deep State’ wants to take down Lauren Boebert is especially cringeworthy.
George Galloway says that Russell Brand, Tucker Carlson, RFK Jr., and Lauren Boebert are/will be framed for sexual assault by the establishment for criticizing the COVID vaccine and Ukraine, and then says Jan. 6 wasn't an insurrection and implies a conspiracy behind it. pic.twitter.com/89cTUBUNwL

I would be genuinely surprised if Corbyn was to make a final break from the Labour Party but there’s no denying it would be an interesting development if it was to happen as outlined by Galloway in this clip:
George Galloway calls on Jeremy Corbyn: "Announce an alliance of the remaining socialists in the country, you lead it, I'll support it, and let's go. Time is running out." pic.twitter.com/itnNct7vtK

I’ve now added a dedicated Cooking the Books page onto the blog.

It’s an excellent resource for socialists. Please share where you can.
Local news.
Last night Lambeth Labour Group suspended a Jewish Cllr indefinitely and a black and 2 Muslim cllrs for 3 months for calling for a ceasefire in Gaza.
It seems they are happier ignoring Genocide than with dissent— JewishVoiceForLabour (@JVoiceLabour) February 27, 2024
Following on from the dedicated page for the Pathfinders column on the blog, I’ve also added one for the long-running Material World column:
https://socialiststandardmyspace.blogspot.com/p/material-world-column.html
Bookmark the page. It’s a good to have the articles side by side, and it’s a good resource for socialists.
Like the Pathfinders page, I think it should have an introductory paragraph. If anyone thinks they can provide one, please contact me offlist.
Just posted a dedicated page for the Pathfinders column on the blog. Paddy was good enough to provide the following intro for it:
Pathfinders is a column that broadly looks at aspects of science and technology in capitalism, with an eye on how they might look or be applied in a future world where money and profit are not the driving factors. Areas covered have included industry, society, health, gender, energy, electric cars, computing, climate change, space, anthropology, genetics, language, intellectual property and the scientific method.

Ralph Critchfield (‘Ivan’)
I’ve put together a page on the Socialist Standard Past and Present blog which lists all the standalone articles, reviews, short stories and regular columns that Ralph Critchfield (‘Ivan’ in the Socialist Standard) penned down the years.
It’s a partial list ‘cos not all of Ralph’s articles are online (yet) but, as it currently stands, it amounts to over 500 pieces from the 1940s up until his last article in the Standard in 2018:

If you click on the month and year on the left hand of the page it will take you to individual articles.
