Hey everybody! I, like you and all your friends, have a new podcast. It's called The Dubious Book of Famous Deeds - a fun history podcast launching July 26. Check out the fledgling twitter account here:
Hi! I'm Paul Bates and this is my history podcast. It's based on the forgotten, problematic and unreliable 1889 book The Pictorial Treasury of Famous Men and Famous Deeds. World history written for the British, by the British. Some of it is obscure, and most of it is wrong.

The notion of the world's wealthiest man engaging in class revolt is the most absurd take and maybe the twitteriest tweet ever
Lots of people super-mad at this but though you may hate the affect it is useful to think about this through a class lens, not just "Elon is crazy/ stupid." Basically it's “Billionaires think tech workers have grown too big for their britches and should be taken down a peg.”

This Twitter dying thing is the best meme to happen here. Feels like a dry run for the end of the world
