IIRC Emily Wilson was on my staircase in the first year of university and came by a couple of times for a cup of tea. She seemed nice. This does not shake my determination to have no views on her critique of the Odyssey film nor anyone's critique of her critique.

All this controversial stuff about The Nolan Odyssey movie and the Wilson LRB review etc don’t care 👇 #therightnottocare @alanbeattie.bsky.social

YIL that when a baby Komodo dragon hatches from its shell the mother typically tries to eat it, whereupon it legs it up the nearest tree and lives for years off insects and birds' eggs before descending. KEY LEARNING: Even by the standards of venomous reptiles, Komodo dragons are absolute wankers.

Text comes in. I whoop. “What is it?” everyone says. “My blood pressure and uric acid levels are in the target range!” Great rejoicing. Might celebrate with six pints of Guinness and a big salty dish of liver and kidney later. #middledagedvictories
