Suggesting Evening Pauses
Readers!
For many reasons, mostly political but partly ethical, I do not use Google, Facebook, Twitter. They practice corrupt business policies, while targeting conservative websites for censoring, facts repeatedly confirmed by news stories and by my sense that Facebook has taken action to prevent my readers from recommending Behind the Black to their friends.
Thus, I must have your direct support to keep this webpage alive. Not only does the money pay the bills, it gives me the freedom to speak honestly about science and culture, instead of being forced to write it as others demand.
Please consider donating by giving either a one-time contribution or a regular subscription, as outlined in the tip jar below.
Regular readers can support Behind The Black with a contribution via paypal:
If Paypal doesn't work for you, you can support Behind The Black directly by sending your donation by check, payable to Robert Zimmerman, to

You can also support me by buying one of my books, as noted in the boxes interspersed throughout the webpage. And if you buy the books through the ebookit links, I get a larger cut and I get it sooner.
It appears that my request on Friday for evening pause suggestions from my readers was not clear. I am therefore posting my request again, in its own post, with the hope that I will get lots of pause suggestions, but done correctly this time so that I can use them.
If you’ve already emailed me an evening pause suggestion in the past, you know the routine. Note that my scheduled list of future evening pauses is getting very short, and will run out in only a few more days. If you’ve got something you’ve been planning to send me, please do so.
If you’ve never emailed me an evening pause suggestion and want to, please comment here. DON’T mention what the pause is. DON’T provide the youtube link here either. Just comment that you have one or more suggestions and I will then email you for the information. (If you post the link here and now in a comment, I then really can’t use it in the future, as it will already be posted. This happened on Friday, with several people offering some great suggestions, which I now sadly can’t use. The idea of the evening pause is to have it happen daily and to be an upcoming surprise that people can anticipate.)
Some guidelines: I prefer live performances. Strange and interesting engineering pieces are also good. So is anything that is creative, funny, entertaining, and different. For my pauses I prefer if we avoid politics or newsy pieces, as the idea here is to take a pause from the news of the day to be either entertained or educated in a way that is unique and profound.
Anyway, send those suggestions! And thank you all again for your support and help in making Behind the Black the website I want it to be.

I might have one you would enjoy.
I have one also
I think I might have one or two you might like Bob
Me to.
Count me in.
I think I already sent you what you were looking for, but maybe it went to the wrong email.
I was one of the people who got it wrong… Appolgies Bob!!
I have a few other good suggestions though should you need more pauses!
Insomnius: I emailed you, but have not received anything from you, so far.
I didn’t get it.
Maybe this was the problem?
Last try. :(
Insomnius: I got your emails and have responded, having scheduled some of your suggestions. Please respond to me by email.
I have a few ideas for the Evening Pause as well.
Hello,
Sorry for my late reply.
But I also have a few suggestions.
I have one … discovery of 70’s classic that WASN’T written by who I thought it was.
I got a suggestion.
