Giddierone @gideonreid.co.uk · 12/04/2026It's beyond coincidence that "tricky" Lionel Davidson opens Under Plum Lake with "I went down" — the same as Plato's Republic.

Giddierone @gideonreid.co.uk · 22/03/2026Before most researchers linked alien abduction to shamanic initiation, Lionel Davidson had already done so in a children's book about alien contact, recovered memories, ontological shock, and the fear of not being believed.

Giddierone @gideonreid.co.uk · 17/12/2025The @knowrogan.bsky.social is great, but this is inconsistent—after saying Joe avoids conflict & could talk cordially with Harris/Walz, they say it "wouldn't be a good idea for them to appear" on the show + "he's not the type of person I would want to have a conversation with, pretty much ever." 1/2 110
Giddierone @gideonreid.co.uk · 11/12/2025An early hot-take, but I think Spielberg's upcoming UFO film 'Disclosure' is going to kick off with some Pileated Woodpecker action. Catching a glimpse of the mythical bird (on the poster) has been likened to witnessing a UFO, with many doubting they exist at all. #ufosky 010

Giddierone @gideonreid.co.uk · 20/11/2025Oi @therestpolitics.bsky.social, for non-subscriber listeners, your podcast is unbearable. Endless promotions, truly insidious conversational adverts, indistinguishable from your analysis. Had to change my "skip 30s" button to "skip 60s" now; it’s a lottery to actually find your content.
