To settle a troublesome discourse, I have provided here the most faithful and poetic possible translation of the beginning of the Odyssey.

We male sex. We

fake horse. We
off course. We

sail long. We
hear song. We

pig crew. We
home soon.

@tomfgoodwin Amusingly, McKinsey originally described themselves as management engineers. Nothing new under the sun.

@HenryGJeffreys @dcsandbrook @TheRestHistory Jonathan Meade's favourite restaurant in the world, I hear. Also great to see Henry back as a returning character in the RiH cinematic universe.

@HenryGJeffreys Surely if you bought this you'd have to call it 'The Judge'.

@HenryGJeffreys @Bill_Linnane Known as the Diggers because the grave diggers from the cemetery opposite used to drink there. Also, you can find Beamish in Seamus’s in Bruntsfield.

A world of nothing but daycare jobs and bullshit work. A giant global cosplay of 'work': meetings, promotions, one billion slack messages, all meaningless. There are places like this now, but it being everywhere sounds hellish.

[signüll @signulll]

the option value of being an anthropic employee just spiked.

still crazy to read in public. 2 years ago this would’ve sounded like ketamine twitter fanfic. now it’s in the blog.

@HenryGJeffreys I wonder if it’s because Humphrey Smith, the, er, eccentric owner has finally handed the reins on.

@post_liberal Did she connect it to the raising of the Jacobite Manchester regiment in 1745? Seems like an interesting breadcrumb / dog treat trail.

[Andrew Spencer @Rose0Window]

@HenryGJeffreys Oh yeah

Randy Newman wrote a brilliant song about this.

[John Michael Greer @JMGreerWriter]

I’m quite sure Marx would have been horrified by what Marxism turned into.

Trump: Rigged election. *points to Erdogan* He knows about rigged elections better than anybody.

RIP. My favourite Redford story is the one about why he was rejected for the lead role in The Graduate.

@drhingram Oh whistle and I’ll come to you my flag.

[Andrew Spencer @Rose0Window]

This is a lot of fun. However, I now appear to be this bloke.

Anyone who has enjoyed my @TheRestHistory bonus episode on Whigs and Tories with @dcsandbrook: do take the resulting 'Rage of Party: Political Compass' quiz to find out what faction of Tory or Whig YOU would have been: https://t.co/r9I0xaYmrn

@lokiscottishrap Taking accountability for your comments, rigorous self reflection on what led you to your immediate reaction, and yet holding to your fundamental principles. Chapeau, sir. We could all learn from this. I’d admire it from any side of the political spectrum.
