had a dream that they released a Fraser video game but it was just a doomlike where Niles gets catapulted into the future armed with nothing but his dry wit and a bottle of 84 Chablis

For those interested in my book on C.S. Lewis's Irish identity (but who understandably find it's usual price tag too dear), Palgrave/Springer are running a 50% off "Flash Sale" until 3 October 2026!: lnkd.in/euRXKBdt (Discount code FLS50 if the books aren't appearing at the reduced price for you.)

Pleased to see that the new issue of Shakespeare Survey is available online, including my article on the queer time(s) of The Winter’s Tale — its structural nostalgia for characters and audience, why it’s an emotional sequel to 2 Gentlemen, and why Camillo is gay. www.cambridge.org/core/books/s...

Personally hoping it’s fun bad/just divisive rather than Megalopolis bad. Surely it’s got to be better than Megalopolis
