Why do you take preorders for music and then not provide download at time of release. Talking about @neworder Brotherhood (Definite Edition)? This looks like naked theft.
@verybigcow @timcrane102 I'm so sorry to hear that Tim. I still remember an occasion when your dad was v excited at the possibility of bumping into Gina Mckee. We were all at the Almeida theatre, I think.
@stephenkb You explicitly claim that if something happened in the past, Tory opponents of Johnson voting for him, then that had to happen. That is fatalism. You can question Cummings's use of branching histories without embracing such a futile attitude towards our own actions. 2/2
@stephenkb argues against the "counterfactual history" approach to politics by affirming fatalism about the past: anything which did happen had to happen. Not sure we have to be so metaphysically controversial to question @OdysseanProject approach to these matters.

So Hilary Putnam inadvertently follows Paul Horwich into British politics, after the calamitous 2016 referendum. @JasonGroves1: We're at the point in the 'meaningful vote' debate where Labour's Chris Bryant is demanding to know: 'What is the meaning of meaning?'
@cathyby@GuyLongworth If you want to look in that particular mirror, the original is in the Christ Church picture gallery. You could combine navel gazing with Joint Session.
