My apologies for being in anyone's starter pack, like that unwanted U2 album we were all trying to remove.

Also new today, my fourth piece of advice on writing about history of philosophy: about focusing on the primary text instead of secondary literature (and how to use secondary literature when you do use it).

www.historyofphilosophy.net/rules-writin...

#philosophy #philsky #writingtips

Rules for Writing 4: The primary text is primary | History of Philosophy without any gaps

This overlaps with a point I made in the previous series of “20 rules for doing history of philosophy,” but I’m going to say something similar here because it is so important.

My most controversial seasonal takes:

1) Die Hard is not a Christmas movie
2) Home Alone 2 is better than the original
3) Jaffa cakes are biscuits

I was at school with Nigel Farage. This is what I saw

Ever since Farage has been in the public eye I’ve been telling whoever would listen about his past

Overheard on train: ‘I go online to find Xmas presents but keep going down rabbit holes and buying stuff for me. My corridor is full of parcels and my partner is asking “what are all these?” I say “they’re Xmas presents you leave them alone”. But they’re not. They’re all for me.’

This is a very bad idea

Followed by an album of instrumentals

Constantine Sandis @csandis.bsky.social · Dec 6

He’s easily got at least one more album in him. But he also likes to record originals and covers for random soundtracks etc. So who knows? Perhaps it will be a 4-vol sequel to the Christmas album…
