I tried to warn you. Many times. But no, you were bewitched by the Big Otter PR machine. They are absolute bastards and would happily chew your face off while you’re distracted by them holding hands. 💀 🦦

I even put their evil footprints on the cover. IT WAS A WARNING The Book of Humans: A Brief History of Culture, Sex, War and the Evolution of Us amazon.co.uk/dp/1780229089/…
I have little doubt that after killing this poor man, they would’ve tried to shag his rotting corpse. For up to two weeks. BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT THEY DO. 💀 🦦 🍆
They drown females, and shag their corpses, until the carcasses FALL APART.
And they do this to harbour seals too.

Two quotes that I cannot shake right now:

“They were careless people, they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.”
"Forget the myths the media's created about the White House. The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand."
Gatsby, and All the President's Men.

Why do this? Sure freedom of speech but why seek out a man who assaulted his pregnant wife, and has nothing but ill-informed bile to contribute to the popular discourse?
Yes, university should be a place where you are exposed to positions you disagree with, where ideas should be vigorously debated. But they should also be scholarly places, where the values of robust but respectful argument flourishes.
Liddle is a cipher, and turdy intellectual vacuum, who poisons our discourse and offers nothing but winnets. He is a bin-juice man. Whoever invited him has contempt for scholarship and students.

Ideas that I cover in depth and with references in my new book, rather than hot takes that imagine a scenario and shit the bed about it. History is always contested, and is always political.
I’ve spoken to RD on this matter and his views seemed to be much more nuanced that this tweet suggests.

Language like ‘they will come for…’ has only negative valence. History is the assessment of figures from the past, and is therefore always changing.
Personally, I think the removal of Galton and Pearson’s names from UCL is right and proper, Fisher probably but his is a more complex story. I don’t think Huxley’s removal from IC is sensible.

I’ve been in Cambridge. Such a remarkable city steeped in history.
Just a random bin. It’s such a remarkable town.

Because I have written about the Great Gatsby and because I love it, I thought I’d finally give the recent film a crack.

I think it might be the single shittest thing I’ve ever seen, and resembles the book in the same way that vomitus resembles a delicious meal.
It’s as if it’s been written by someone who overheard someone talking about the book, and then tried to write it down whilst coked off their balls.
I am transfixed by its shitness. Paralysed by turditude. The inexhaustible variety of manballs.

Right then chums, as well as a new series of Rutherford and @FryRsquared on Radio 4, we also have a new book out this week, crammed full of stories, about how humans invented science to bypass our natural physical and psychological limits. 🧵bit.ly/3oLa82Q
Here’s a quickie: we talk about confirmation bias – my own that I always look at the clock at 11.38, and @FryRsquared that she has a magic orchid that reflects her successes and failures, like in E.T. ‘There’s a sucker born every minute’ as PT Barnum once said. Hannah Fry, left.
@FryRsquared EXCEPT he never said it at all. In upstate New York farm, in 1869, the petrified body of a 10-foot-tall fossilised remains of an ancient Native American were discovered and soon became a huge scientific and tourist attraction.
