My resumé: lengthy

Hey everybody! I, like you and all your friends, have a new podcast. It's called The Dubious Book of Famous Deeds - a fun history podcast launching July 26. Check out the fledgling twitter account here:

[The Dubious Book of Famous Deeds @FamousDeeds]

Hi! I'm Paul Bates and this is my history podcast. It's based on the forgotten, problematic and unreliable 1889 book The Pictorial Treasury of Famous Men and Famous Deeds. World history written for the British, by the British. Some of it is obscure, and most of it is wrong.

@AndrewHunt311 Only when I think of the worst jokes!

[Paul Bates 🔱 @batesbot9000]

Second City I know you just opened a show, but your next show title is "Weird A.I. Yankovic", sorry I don't make the rules

[Paul Bates 🔱 @batesbot9000]

@hodgman Feels like you can't talk about songs about dirigibles without mentioning the Hindenburg Song

[Paul Bates 🔱 @batesbot9000]

Sounds like a "Tory'd Affair." You're welcome second city, enjoy your new show title

@DonovanWoods I bought this one! (Not the hat.) Love it. One of my all time favourite albums

[Paul Bates 🔱 @batesbot9000]

Here briefly to tell you this very funny short film I'm in is featured on @ShortoftheWeek. Directed by Jesse Shamata. Starring Christy Bruce, Chuck Shamata and me.

Watch here!

In the meantime I'll be on Mastodon, not understanding what to do there. See you soon! Tiktok sucks too!

[Paul Bates 🔱 @batesbot9000]

I think it's time to take another year off from twitter. You can still find me at home. Come say hi

[Paul Bates 🔱 @batesbot9000]

And catch up with my podcast which I promise I will make more of, rules of supply and demand be damned.

Our show changes lives. For better or for worse.

@mariannamints Huge consonant completionist over here

[Paul Bates 🔱 @batesbot9000]

@someMarkFarrell Look for me when you're there! I'm doing indentured improv between matches

[Paul Bates 🔱 @batesbot9000]

The notion of the world's wealthiest man engaging in class revolt is the most absurd take and maybe the twitteriest tweet ever

[Andrew Prokop @awprokop]

Lots of people super-mad at this but though you may hate the affect it is useful to think about this through a class lens, not just "Elon is crazy/ stupid."

Basically it's “Billionaires think tech workers have grown too big for their britches and should be taken down a peg.”

[Paul Bates 🔱 @batesbot9000]

This Twitter dying thing is the best meme to happen here. Feels like a dry run for the end of the world

[Paul Bates 🔱 @batesbot9000]

FYI I'm on Mastodon, find me there, help me use it, I don't know what I'm doing, I feel like Michelle Pfeiffer trapped in the Quantum Realm

[Paul Bates 🔱 @batesbot9000]

Wait - let THIS be my final tweet
