Ea-nāṣir is the recipient of the world’s oldest complaint letter. He’s reportedly the worst businessman of the 18th century, a mediocre conman whose actions should have him put out of business. Is this fair?
Here’s a thread on the most up-to-date research on this captivating figure.

1. I made the decision a year ago not to publicly comment on Israel and Gaza because my thoughts were not social media sized and I didn't think the world needed another dude pontificating about a part of the world not his own. I send money instead. This has worked for me and I'm likely to continue.

I'm trying to be more diligent about crossposting for people who have been kind enough to follow me here. Yesterday, some people on Twitter asked me to explain the difference between a four-in-hand and Windsor knot, and why one would be considered "better." So here's a thread. 🧵 (1/19)

I’d like to talk about Pear-light. Pear-light is the sad, poignant watercolour yellowing of this seasonal shift into autumn. Sun spreading between citrine pears & leaves smoky brown at the edges. Richer yellow of wasps, drunken sailors swaying from pear deck to pear deck.

A mate and I came up with the phrase “the chink of departing coin”. You either hear it constantly or you don’t. Telly especially these days is full of characters not driven by it, written by people who’ve never been aware of the chink, which is why they are in a position to write and be on telly.

Origins of Parkinson’s may lie in the gut. Researchers hope to prove it.
If the hypothesis that misfolded proteins start in the gut and travel to the brain is proved, it could lead to early detection and treatment of Parkinson’s.
