The Kennet swift, for silver eels renown'd;
The Lodden slow, with verdant alders crown'd;

During the pandemic I built a dumb bot that would tweet all of Alexander Pope’s poetry, couplet by couplet, once an hour. I’ve now rejigged it for Bluesky, because I like having a hobby and the bot is I hope a harmless entertainment in dark times.

Say, is not absence death to those who love?

🧵 On 17 December 1976, Thames TV aired a debate about paranormal beliefs. And it turned out to be one of the greatest half hours in British television history. Believe me: it's the best thing you'll see all week.
