More power to @profangiehobbs.bsky.social – I hope this revival of The Great Philosophers brings about the rebirth of deep learning through television.

Archived programming on YT from the 70s and 80s has been a gift for two whole decades, but it’s time to put philosophy back on the mainstream menu.

I doubted him, but Timothée Chalamet absolutely fucking killed it. The best Dylan you’ve ever seen acted on screen. #ACompleteUnknown

“A Cossack always carries his weapons so that they neither jingle nor rattle. Jingling weapons are a terrible disgrace to a Cossack.”

It was an honour to see Usyk fight in Riyadh this weekend, and I would travel many miles to see him again.

No other pop chorus captures the mood, tempo and length of the male teenage orgasm better than Pulp’s Babies.

Strange as that sounds, that’s its genius.

It's one of life's great injustices that Bob Dylan never cameoed on Curb Your Enthusiasm. #bobdylan

Turns out the new #Jaguar design is an Art Deco delight that could have been teased brilliantly had the promo ad evoked mid-century industrial optimism for the electric age.
