We at American Dad! have so much gratitude and love for Patrick Stewart. He said how happy he was to do American Dad! because he was so rarely asked to do comedy, which is insane, as his ability to get the laugh was uncanny. Thank you, Sir, for sharing your joyful spirit, inspiring voice, and willingness to be ridiculous. You turned Avery Bullock, Deputy Director of the CIA, into someone the world loved and couldn't get enough of. We will miss you.

“Because he takes his subject seriously, Young can suggest that more is at stake in a history of fairy belief than the question of when fairies were first portrayed as being tiny, cute creatures with wings.” Thank you to Liam Guilar for his review of ‘Fairies: A History’ 📚🧚‍♀️

New Past Lives: The Life and Death of a Soldier in the Wars of the Roses. The 1461 Battle of Towton was likely the bloodiest ever fought in Britain. Archaeologists excavated a mass grave containing the remains of 40 men who fought and died there. What can we learn from them?
