I’ve spoken up for Scotland’s nature!

The Natural Environment Bill's next debate on 19 November must make sure its strong enough to restore wildlife, protect our future, and unite us in recovery.
action.rspb.org.uk/page/181323/...
Ask your MSP to act for Scotland's wildlife.
MSPs will debate one of the most important nature bills in a generation on the 19th of November. Take action and make sure they back a strong Bill that protects wildlife, not weakens it.

This is so great, I'm so jealous you got to meet her. I wrote about her in my book but I didn't manage to get in touch...was also worried about how she'd feel to be described as a 'historical' woman!

Q: Are you affirming that you think President Trump is a fascist?

MAMDANI: I've spoken about--

TRUMP: That's okay. You can just say yes. I don't mind.

Oooh I can't wait. This book is almost as guilty as Jordan Peters on for its effects on the collective male psyche
Episode 46: Sapiens

It's an ambitious goal to write the entire history of humanity in just 400 pages. It's even more ambitious to do it without reading any research.

Was not expecting to hear the phrase "up to their eyeballs in clunge" in reference to Watership Down but I have to thank @eleanormorton.bsky.social for the huge lol I did
It's time for Eleanor & Alasdair Read That! We're talking Watership Down: a cutey-cute rabbit book for babies. In this month's episode, I become a Male Feminist™ and @eleanormorton.bsky.social sings the X-men theme.

I'm so sorry. I think it's Alasdairs wholesomeness that compells me to say the worst thing I can think of

Doctors want to know her secret
Having the sort of workday where I’m now going to relisten to the Peter Rabbit episode of Eleanor & Alasdair Read That because maybe @eleanormorton.bsky.social describing Squirrel Nutkin as “cunty” will fix my mood

Cool according to us, two very cool people

That is very confident of you to say so

My understanding was that the joke was everyone thought she was a beautiful manic pixie dream girl who was whimsical and kooky...but actually she's impaired and no one's realised (because they're also thick)

I don't think Americans can tell the difference between English accents, I think Dave Thomas was just doing his 'British' accent
November 13, 2025 at 5:45 PM
As far as I understand, she's meant to be 'British' and she's doing a classic 'Posh British accent' that non British people do when they pretend to be English and Posh ie it sounds weird. I don't think the accent was meant to do anything except make us think she was 'British' (ie English).
November 13, 2025 at 5:45 PM
I don't think the accent was meant to be weird, I just don't think she was very good at it
November 13, 2025 at 5:39 PM
What weird accent?

Which is not to say he wasn't also powerful manipulative and evil, because somehow it is actually possibly to be both
November 13, 2025 at 5:29 PM
Ok, so it's not just me having a hard time reading them. He's giving off Charlize Theron in Arrested Development vibes, like 'Hang on, I think this person might be incredibly thick'
These emails prove that Jeffrey Epstein was so rich and powerful he didn't even need to conform to the rules of the English language.

You all have 8 days to read Watership Down!
@eleanormorton.bsky.social @misterabk.bsky.social Thanks to your upcoming podcast I'm finally getting to Watership Down after years of delay, and to those who want to be entertained I can strongly recommend the audiobook with Peter Capaldi, which is vivid and amazing
