The Shepherd's Crown, Lords And Ladies, And Don't Be Afraid, Just Start The Tape.

The insanity of French politics in the last few days is re-kindling a deeply buried instinct to start a podcast.

I cannot express how disappointed I am in the fact that the link to [Elliot, 2025] doesn't work. And that the paper was an April's Fool. Elliot please share the joke with me I want to know what's the Elamo-Minoan hypothesis.

University really is about looking at the worst pdf known to man huh

La décennie du numérique.

Goddamn voting website is not working are you fucking kidding me

This Carrington stuff is amazing. She's only been around for one episode and I LOVE it, I hope she comes back with them.

They're right, you know. There is more. FAR more ...

But for now, here ya go. Welcome back. 😈

I remember when I first saw the Coming Out Video. I spent most of it wondering if I had lost the ability to recognize faces.

New Philosophy Tube Dropping in May

The next episode of Philosophy Tube is gonna be very special I'm travelling back in time to chat to my past self, and it does not go well... More pics on my Patreon now!

I also want to say a special thanks to you all on this one. Today we cross-shot a dramatic scene with three cameras, a dedicated sound engineer, a hair and makeup artist, a professional actor, plus me. We had a full hour lunch break and everyone got paid a pro rate. I'm proud of the production quality we're able to achieve on Philosophy Tube and, I hope, of the way the crew get tret - that's super important to me. When patrons and Nebula subscribers trust me with their money it's important to me that it goes on the screen.

So thank you. This kind of thing just would not be possible without audience support - Patreon subscribers and Nebula subscribers - because advertising doesn't pay for quality like this.

My cartoon for this week’s New Scientist

With Jane Austen being a possible inspiration for Good Omens season 2, there has been some speculations about what parallels could be drawn between main couple in Jane Austen’s books and our heroes. Pride and Prejudice has been floated around, which is not surprising since it’s the most famous of her works. Others speculate that Emma might be a good fit for Aziraphale, since he is apparently a landlord and meddles in the love life of humans. Persuasion is also a likely candidate, full of pining as it is. All of them possibilities, all of them good choices. However, I would like to put Northanger Abbey forward, for two reasons: 1. It’s funny as hell. 2. It contains the following quote:

“[T]hough Henry was now sincerely attached to her, though he felt and delighted in all the excellencies of her character and truly loved her society, I must confess that his affection originated in nothing better than gratitude, or, in other words, that a persuasion of her partiality for him had been the only cause of giving her a serious thought. It is a new circumstance in romance, I acknowledge, and dreadfully derogatory of an heroine's dignity; but if it be as new in common life, the credit of a wild imagination will at least be all my own.”

And I’m sorry to say, but I do think it applies here.

If you are an avid Discworld reader, you remember that the premise of Jingo is the sudden appearance of an island in the middle of the sea.

Say hello to Graham Island, a real thing that happened in the 19th century. An island rose up in the Mediterranean, stayed there just long enough to be claimed by England, Spain, Sicily and France, then sank back. The whole thing lasted less than six months.

hey say something nice to me
