- Young people today no longer read Redwall, proving that the modern generation doesn't love small animals or vegetarianism.
- I was privileged to work at NZ’s Royal Commission into Abuse in Care, and it meant dealing with many, many horrific files. We had training and mandatory therapy. It still messes you up. Do not traumatise yourself out of a misguided sense of political obligation.

- This unrelated thread gets to the heart of why Stoppard's plays are so delightful; they are clever and humanist and densely intellectual, but they can also be joyful and funny and farcical and strange. 'R&G are Dead', 'Real Inspector Hound,' 'Travesties' are all great art that leaves you delighted.
- People get really, performatively weird about the difficulty of Ulysses. It's not that inaccessible, particularly if you listen to it; it demands attention and mental effort, but it's not some literary shibboleth or an emperor with no clothes.
