The good news is that people really love the audiobook version of Notorious.

The even better news is that as of today, it's an absolute flipping bargain!

An absolute masterpiece of myth-busting!
Bram : 29 May 2026

Otto English's Notorious is an eye-opening.
hilarious, and deeply researched reality check that
strips away centuries of PR and propaganda from
history's most famous figures. What makes the
audiobook format so spectacular is the perfect
marriage of English's razor-sharp, witty writing and
his flawless narration, his deadpan British delivery
and natural charisma make it feel less like a lecture
and more like a brilliant conversation at the pub. It
is a compelling, fast-paced masterclass in critical
thinking that will completely change how you view
historical icons. If you love history, great
storytelling, or just want an expertly narrated audio
experience that keeps you glued to your
headphones, download this immediately!

Currently undertaking a fingertip search looking for the tiniest admirable quality in Jim Ratcliffe.
Nothing so far sadly.

Lathering them with marmite to offset their inherent sourdoughiness

Otto English @ottoenglish.bsky.social · 5h

Sure I'll probably live slightly longer... but in those extra seconds I'm only going to lament that time I bought sourdough crumpets.

Otto English @ottoenglish.bsky.social · 5h

Accidentally bought sourdough crumpets.

“It’s important to lead by example. So, in recent years, I too have radically reduced my own use of social media to just 750 tweets, 42 reels, and a 9,000-word FB diatribe against all my imaginary enemies a day.”

Lib Dem pledge to cut fuel duty by 10p is depressingly bad policy: poorly targeted, expensive (£5bn), and it weakens incentives to switch to EVs and reduce usage.

Back to school season takes me back. It all began when David Cameron approached me at the Conservative Party Conference and told me about his first visit to a state school.

I left X because it's a fascist disinformation site.

George Sievers @rationaljack.bsky.social · 1d

Bsky users post their admiration daily. Probably why you left X... too many notes.

Bsky users really love X's Community Notes... something lacking over here, notably. I wonder why...

If the goal in Musk taking over twitter was to boil brains on an industrial scale, radicalise, create mobilised armies of pro-Russian fascists & weaken western democracy then it seems to be going well.
