Going Medieval

Unfortunately, though I have made the world’s best booty shorts and deployed them with great skill and aplomb, there are still those in our society who refuse to heed my message, and also to learn basic history.

Recently I, like a lot of people who make their living by creating things, have been thinking a lot about so-called AI.

I think about Crusades a lot because that’s my job.

Being a medieval historian is weird, in general.

I was lucky enough to get to see a production of Christopher Marlow’s (1564 – 1593) Edward II at the Royal Shakespeare Company this week, and as with any good piece of art I come across, I have been thinking a lot about it since.

The other day I had the pleasure of ducking into the Temple Church here in London.

I’ve been thinking a lot about ghosts lately.

I am adamantly opposed to the conception of grind culture.

I’m not really on twitter that much anymore because of all the generalised unpleasantness.

So over at my cute little podcast We’re Not So Different we are currently running a book club for patrons.
