1/ COVER REVEAL 🧵 I'm thrilled to share the US and UK covers for SLEUTH-HOUND: THE CASE OF THE REAL SHERLOCK HOLMES, the untold story of Dr. Joseph Bell—the Victorian surgeon who inspired Arthur Conan Doyle to create the world's greatest detective. Pre-order here: shorturl.at/fdGnV

1) The US and UK covers side by side. The US cover (left) features a striking image of Bell, and has a silhouette of Holmes. The font is very ornate, and it looks very “Sherlockian.” The UK cover (right) is striking in its reds, blacks, and whites. It features a silhouette of a poison bottle, and has fingerprints all over the cover.

My new book 📕 The Story of Tudor Art 🌹 comes out on 25th September. It’s the first book ever (!!) to look at art from across the whole sixteenth century in England and I can’t wait to share it with you.

Red book cover with gold lettering, titled The Story of Tudor Art. Instead of O’s, two portrait miniatures with Elizabeth I and the artist Nicholas Hilliard. In white at the bottom the words “A history of Tudor England through its art and objects”

I expect you're wondering whether other leading politicians have shed tears in the House of Commons before - and more generally about the history of crying in British culture, and what it means. Good news - there is a book all about it! bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This is a very good essay, & touches on one of the most important convergences between tech-utopianism & fascism, namely the pursuit of homogeneity. Homogeneity in literature dulls the mind & sharpens the fear by which people become stupid & obedient. Homogeneity is a gateway to fascism.

Unfortunately, due to the heat, we are having to close the museum earlier than usual tomorrow, at 15:00 (last entry at 14:15). We will be open as usual on Sunday as the weather is set to cool down a little. Keep an eye on our website and socials for any further updates!

Amazing! I literally just left a careers session at HPS in Cambridge where I explained to a group of PhD students that their ability to process and reflect on large nebulous quantities of information at speed was a skill so desirable the tech-bros are trying to mimic it with LLMs and AI.
