Two book that I own by H S Bellamy - a deep dive into mid-century "fringe" science. Bellamy argues that Earth’s history is defined by "capturing" moons. He claims our current Moon’s arrival ~13,000 years ago caused the sinking of Atlantis and the Great Flood. It’s a wild mix of pseudo-geology and mythology.

Making up history.

I watched the Peaky Blinders film and was not impressed (beyond sets and set piece), but although I did not know about the ‘real’ Beckett (a villain in the piece), this article by his son was interesting and I think apposite. Making up heroic histories is no way to build a future.

you've probably seen the statue of #hercules wrestling with the Nemean lion (e.g., trying to give a cat a pill), but have you seen this, much more concerning one where he is.. skinning the lion?!

... the water nymph has the right idea--get the eff away from this dude 🙀
