Olivia Nuzzi's greatest contribution to the world is making everyone else (mainly me) feel much better about their own writing ability
At least 40% of the book is just tortured descriptions of her surroundings.

Actually I would really like a 5 hour podcast that had none of the Greek stuff but told me about what the Persians were up to in eg Tajikistan or Pakistan or Afghanistan aka the 99% of their empire
I do wish it was possible to tell the Persian story narratively without such heavy emphasis on Greece though

A new Fall of Civilizations episode is always great but this most recent one is a special delight because it reminded me that there was once a Persian King of Kings called Arses

Growing up in a time when “selling out” was the most shameful thing you could do and then being forced to live through the 2020s feels like being kicked in the head by a horse every day

For fully the last 15 mins of Del Toro's Frankenstein all I could hear in my head was Garth Marenghi.

The context in which the Day Today skit is put into this documentary made me laugh so hard my friend asked if I was ok
This New Yorker documentary about the 1988 UK government ban on broadcasting the voices of Sinn Féin and I.R.A. leaders is pretty good but they show *that clip from The Day Today with no explanation and no indicator that it is satire.

Burst out laughing at the bishop of York claiming that today's world is "more polarised than ever" while celebrating the king having out with the pope for the first time in 600 years because of all the BURNING EACH OTHER ALIVE people did in the 1500s
