  1. Might not be worth subscribing to Britbox on its own - but the final episode of “Upstart Crow" filmed in 2020 with the setting of the 1609 pandemic lockdown is just amazing
    David Mitchell and all the cast are so great!

    Ooo S2 of Ludwig could be out soon too… for more #davidmitchell

  2. Today my beloved and I were watching a murder mystery (#Ludwig an excellent show with #DavidMitchell) which made a passing reference to the 1963 Hasbro game “Mousetrap”. She mentioned that she would have loved to play it as a child, but her set was incomplete and did not work properly.

    I turned to her and said, “no way! It was the same at our home too. Our game was missing bits and wouldn’t go either!”

    37 years as besties and we still have special discoveries to make.

  4. Listened to the first episode of the new podcast "In Your Spare time: From the blog of Ursula K. Le Guin", where #ursulakleguin s blog is read out by different people.

    The first episode featured #davidmitchell , who read her first blog post and then told about his relationship to LeGuins work and to her personally as well. Very nice and interesting!

    Look forward to the coming episodes.

    I highly recommend!

    Kinda me, but I'd add double time on privacy and other things :)

  13. "The working of democracy and the electoral cycle routinely condemn us to this kind of poor decision. In many ways, it is pretty repellent.

    Nevertheless, the problems with dictatorship are far more savage. Why do 52% of young people not realise that?"

    #DavidMitchell, 2025

    Why are these the only options? This is warmed over Cold War thinking. Given two options I choose the third, especially when it comes to political-economic systems.

  15. Unfortunately for David Mitchell, Generation Z know him as that guy from that Nazi meme ("our we the baddies?") so I don't know who this scolding is for?

  17. Just found out there is a new crime series on BBC with David Mitchell solving the murders, essentially playing himself, but as a police Officea. Or actually, the twin brother of a police officer, and this is not a spoiler, the trailer reveals it. I sure hope our local broadcaster will buy the rights. (Or that I can get iPlayer to work through a VPN, haven't tried in a while, maybe VPN makers have won the game against geoblocking?) youtube.com/watch?v=imTyEPCAbc #DavidMitchell #Ludwig

  19. #DavidMitchell is a strange author in his way; he writes in a variety of styles, often high literary (here, a historical novel of politics in turn of the 19th century Japan and its Dutch trading post Dejima) but always connects it back, more or less obliquely, to his 'macronovel' of a big dopey battle between good and evil immortal wizards. It shouldn't work, but boy can he write, so he gets away with it. #FinishedReading #Bookstodon @bookstodon
