Can we stop pretending that this is not an insane man now?

You are very clever. Also, chapter arriving in your email…

A US high school biology text book from 1914. Was this standard, that bacteria are plants??

Also: I know for a fact that Dorothy Bishop is NOT Neuroskeptic

Can confirm that Dorothy Bishop IS Neuroskeptic.

Oh man I do love you! As predictable as a sitcom.

Like clockwork!

God said to Abraham ‘kill me a son’. Abe said ‘Man, you must be puttin’ me on’. God said nope, Abe said whut. God said ‘you can do what you want Abe, but next time you see me coming, you better run’.

He was guilty and that verdict was never in doubt, and was what both sides sought.

physicists also need to work on their metaphors. You don't kill and bury a puzzle, you solve it.

Every year, whilst at the Hay Festival, I meet people who think they are at the Hay Festival but are actually at this event, which coincidentally is in the same town at the same time.
I often fondly remember Matt Hancock trying to blag his way into a Hay evening event, only to discover this.

I don’t think I understand this conversation.

I’m growing some.

Well, isn’t Small Prophets simply the best TV in ages. I love them all, especially Michael Pailn, and the homunculi.

Not at all!

I acquired a copy of the textbook at the centre of the Scopes Monkey Trial.

My mother in law referred to the film You've Got Mail as "I Sent you an Email', and Rear Window as Rear View Mirror.

Oh lordy, I just quoted 1984. Paging @dorianlynskey.bsky.social for permission.

So sad that this is an AI fake.

Fucking AI, what a waste of everyone's time. Evolution is a goddamn marvel on its own, and octopuses incredible without this bullshit.

I live near Norwood, where they have amazing catacombs, but they are too fragile now for visitors, much to my goth heartbreak.

where where where? I LOVE a 19th C catacomb.

I WAS JUST SAYING THAT I LIKED YOUR TRAINERS

I agree whole heartedly with every point.

Easter is a time for reproduction, new life and sexy times, and we got down and dirty with the science of sex, and the history and future of zoos on Start the Week. For the sensitive souls it’s PG-13, mostly.

Honestly, I wouldn't bother with him. He's the archetypal reply guy, has sent me hundreds of word salad messages first on Twitter, now here. He's got a real boner for BBC and Humanist types, which of course, I am both.

Honestly, I think it's the best professional idea I ever had. Doing at the Apollo with 65 live was the high point of my career.
