Hey everybody! I, like you and all your friends, have a new podcast. It's called The Dubious Book of Famous Deeds - a fun history podcast launching July 26. Check out the fledgling twitter account here:

Hi! I'm Paul Bates and this is my history podcast. It's based on the forgotten, problematic and unreliable 1889 book The Pictorial Treasury of Famous Men and Famous Deeds. World history written for the British, by the British. Some of it is obscure, and most of it is wrong.

I think it's time to take another year off from twitter. You can still find me at home. Come say hi

In the meantime I'll be on Mastodon, not understanding what to do there. See you soon! Tiktok sucks too!
Our show changes lives. For better or for worse.

I’ll never forget the time I was chosen in the audience and then ended up dating the person who was chosen with me and now we are good buds

Hookup is my favourite live comedy thingy in Toronto.

The notion of the world's wealthiest man engaging in class revolt is the most absurd take and maybe the twitteriest tweet ever
Lots of people super-mad at this but though you may hate the affect it is useful to think about this through a class lens, not just "Elon is crazy/ stupid." Basically it's “Billionaires think tech workers have grown too big for their britches and should be taken down a peg.”
This Twitter dying thing is the best meme to happen here. Feels like a dry run for the end of the world

FYI I'm on Mastodon, find me there, help me use it, I don't know what I'm doing, I feel like Michelle Pfeiffer trapped in the Quantum Realm
Let this be my final tweet: I hated twitter before it was cool

Had drinks with @PaulConstable last night and this is what we looked like leaving the bar
