Everyone imitates Tolkien all the time except when it comes to the one way it would really matter: making the protagonist of your novel for children a short, fat, 50-year-old man who doesn't want to do anything.

my great-grandparents arrived in the UK in the 1890s with nothing.
they sold pickles from the front room window, took in laundry, worked as tailors.
their children were nurses, teachers, salesmen.
their grandchildren were professors, designers, opticians, doctors, magistrates, entrepreneurs.

Would it not? Hello from a long time The Foreign Desk listener who, as a middle-age white man, inevitably has a (niche) podcast of his own: “Called to the Bar: International Law over Drinks” (albeit one when most of the useful content is fronted by my co-presenters):

What a title! Up there with @andrewmueller.bsky.social ‘s description of her as “Britain’s most former prime minister”.

Streeting to next launch inquiry into “over-diagnosis” of left-handedness.

“Never used to be like this,” he insists.

I mean this, academics. If you don't feel capable of embedding a trans perspective into your class for time or expertise reasons, ask me and I will come talk to them for you.

I will even try to relate it to paleogeology (or history, English, drama...), god help me.

@pagingdrpaige.bsky.social and I are writing on piracy again, and have had it with the hostis humani generis nonsense.

Editor: why did you opt for using animus furandi over animo furandi in your discussion of the history of the law of piracy?

Me and @pagingdrpaige.bsky.social : because both are generally considered correct but spellcheck wants to turn "animo" into "amino".

Very much so! I blame a combination of rage and sauvignon blanc for the erroneous use of the past tense ...

I’ve been a low-key fan of this pod since it started - I particularly enjoy the “what everyone gets wrong about…” sub-series. Deliciously irreverent and appropriately highbrow. But for this one I have to thank the co-hosts for the shout-out. Perhaps I need to write about 2803.

I have made an unstructured linen jacket with a self made pattern and no overlocker. Adventures in #sewing (This shot is great because you can’t see all the bodgy hacks holding it together.)

59. Gaza, the Trump Peace Plan and Security Council Resolution 2803 In this episode of Called to the Bar - International Law over Drinks, Douglas Guilfoyle, Tamsin Philipa Paige, and Ntina Tzouvala gather (with hot chocolate, peppermint tea, and white wine) to unravel

New episode of #CalledToTheBar is out! We break down UNSC Resolution 2803 and the bizarre reality of Donald J. Trump’s Gaza “peace plan” becoming international law. Self-determination? A “Board of Peace” chaired by Trump and Blair? We have questions. So many questions.

How To Dismantle an Atomic Bomb Legacy
