Ah! 19 April – 126th anniversary of the day William Butler Yeats kicked Aleister Crowley downstairs as they fought for control of the British branch of the not-at-all-ridiculous Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn in the Battle of Blythe Road. According to legend, anyway... 🧵

I’d never do Simpsons trivia because I know roughly 10000x more about the Simpsons than the median human being and roughly 10000x less than bearded men who do Simpsons trivia

I think it would be a good episode! There's a lot to pull on in both directions, and a very specific audience would love it.
