It's new episode day! After getting caught doing something naughty, Steve's daughter tries to escape blame by asking "Is my brain a separate thing that tells my body what to do?". We asked Plato, Cavendish, Descartes & more to answer.

I honestly don’t know enough philosophy to get the joke. Can anyone explain?

Once again I beseech all universities: Don’t buy Extron systems they do not work properly with Macs.
Kids already know all the swears and some that even you and I don’t know

A gentle reminder to pay your freelancer invoices before Xmas.
You know how you pay your PAYE staff early in December because everyone in Finance goes away from the end of this week until January? We also need to be able to afford crackers and tinsel.
If you'd like to see an amateur comedy routine vaguely on the subject of peer review involving lots of puns and me forgetting a line, look no further! Credit and thanks to @drstevex.bsky.social for the video and, as always, being a very funny, supportive compere!

NOW RECRUITING FUNNY ENGINEERS.
On March 4th The Brunel Museum and I are running an engineering-themed fundraising comedy gig and I'm looking for acts.
10 minute sets, unpaid, and a chance to play an iconic (but pretty inaccessible) venue. This is them: thebrunelmuseum.com
Who would like a show?
TOMORROW! Catch London's hottest Arts and Humanities talent telling jokes about their work. Just a few tickets left: wegottickets.com/event/679150
I'll be performing at this - really looking forward to it! It'll be my sixth time doing stand-up, almost a year exactly since I first tried it. Also my fifth different set, which is admittedly a slightly abnormal way of approaching things.
NEXT TUESDAY London's funniest Arts and Humanities researchers will make you laugh your ass off at LOLs In Translation. Tickets selling fast so get one now!

FREELANCING HUNT
I've had a couple of really frustrating cancellations and work ghostings recently SO
I have loads of space in my diary until the end of Jan. Hire me for all your training, event hosting, workshop enlivening, facilitation, comedy & photography needs! Or a bespoke work-themed quiz.
An over the shoulder mod shot of me performing some bespoke spooky stand up. I am lit in read but my face is illuminated by the iPad screen
These days I mainly gig just to catch up on my reading.
Thanks to @drstevex.bsky.social for another lovely show at The Old Operating Theatre and for the lush snaps x
Now sorted. Phew!
COMEDIANS would any of you like a paid show on Wednesday? I need 15 minutes of material with a loose medical and/or Halloween-y theme from you. PAID.
It's this: www.mediculture.co.uk/all-events/s...
(had an act pull out for completely forgiveable reasons)
TOMORROW NIGHT: Catch me and a VERY SPECIAL SCIENCE FRIEND in Bristol with some incredible acts: thewardrobetheatre.com/shows/bristo...
Need a fun Christmas activity for your work?
Something a bit different?
I create and host bespoke silly quizzes, themed around you workplace. Drop me a line and I’ll tell you all about it.
I’ve done this for companies, conferences, loads of universities and more. You next?

The entire "free speech on campus" moral panic was manufactured to blackmail us into making space in intellectual life for bigots and charlatans who couldn't get there on their own merits. Its a DEI scheme for fascism. Congratulations to everyone who took it at face value.
