This is freaking incredible
I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

Hey historians 🗃️: Do you know of presses that publish short books (around 30K words / 90 pages plus notes)? I have been working on an article project that could easily turn into an great micro-history of that length, but I'm not sure it would make it to the usual full 60-90K words...

I liked this movie. But I do like solid-premise single-location indie #scifi +weird films (The Man From Earth, Circle). It’s actually possible to shoot them($) & they are more like plays in terms of dialogue/character driving discovery/weirdness. Would be v fun on the acting side! Congrats to them
If anyone is interested in the sequel to COHERENCE, we finally landed on a story worthy of the mission. Unless the actors revolt, we will probably do it just like the first one, where they know their own character details, but don't know what the other actors are going to say or do. Like real life.

I'm intrigued but don't understand exactly what "editorial views independently" means here. Meaning no works -- TV, movies, books, video games, albums, art exhibitions -- would be reviewed until after they were available to the public? Or is this something about the screening mechanism?
