To have two books coming out in two months - different publishers, different formats, different genres (fiction vs nonfiction) - does seem a bit mad and greedy, but fun too

Today is publication day of the Letters of T. S. Eliot, volume 10: 1942-1944. I sincerely hope the volume will be enjoyable & useful to all readers & scholars of Eliot.

Copyright law is not complicated at all. If you want to use an author's work you need to ask for permission. If you use it without permission you're breaking the law. It's so simple. It'll be incredibly difficult for us, and for other affected industries, to take on Meta, but we'll have a good go!
(Btw if you don't really care, that's ok, you don't need to tell me. Use that energy to fight for things you do care about) ❤️❤️

Fantastic article
‘Freudians read chess as an arena of Oedipal urges – the protection of the king denotes a fear of castration, the queen’s freedom on the board indicates her dominance and sexual power.’

Always a lovely celebratory event

I am houred that @RUSI_org is drawing attention to my idea that may move the needle away from perpetual conflict in the Middle East. As I teach my students re the formation of the European Coal and Steel Community, leadership and the alignment of interests can change the world.
'With a Saudi normalisation with Israel high on the US wish list, and Saudi’s capacity to fund Gazan reconstruction, Saudi Arabia has what Trump craves in any deal – leverage' writes Michael Harris.

A few days ago Lawrence Hollom posted a preprint that solves a problem about posets informally known as the fishbone conjecture, which I am told was extremely central in the area. 🧵

Just learnt a proverb used by the Jale (tribe in New Guinea isolated from foreign influences until 1961): "People whose face is known should not be eaten."

I'm a PhD student at @UniofOxford and I think I'm living in a fairytale :-)
Foxes playing around in the snow at Magdalen College this morning — absolutely magical!
Try not to stampede but I've just set myself up in the heavens, so to speak. I may even post something there soon. All I'll say is that I am not a social media innovator. So if I'm doing it...
Did you cover Rex Whistler? I've always enjoyed the portraits he included of her on book jackets, eg her book on Bath

The Ivor Novello Award for Best Choral Composition goes to Cassandra Miller for 'The City, Full of People' - a piece for mixed choir of 16 singers 🏆
The judges felt that Miller’s piece “radiates an ecstatic quality, exquisitely crafted with originality and sophistication, creating a meditative and immersive experience.”
