The director of 1996’s ‘A Time to Gather Stones Together’, a hugely unsuccessful quarry-set legal drama starring Samuel L. Jackson and Matthew McConaughey, says with hindsight he’d have chosen a different line from Ecclesiastes as the concept to base his film around.

Me and the 9yo were scolded this morning by the 4yo for teasing the 6yo*. A somewhat surreal “Who is the adult here again?” moment. *Pretending Taylor Swift had not just made a song called Fortnight, but also ones titled Minecraft and Roblox.

Just got a notification that this piece I wrote with @drdiongeorgiou.bsky.social was lambasted on some unhinged website that froths about 'gender ideology'. Glad you hated it, pricks!!!
Anyway, here is our (pretty damn good) piece:

Pretty sure it must have been released on video? I’ve never seen it but think I remember it was always advertised on other Disney videos when I was kid. There was certainly a clip of James Baskett singing Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah on the trailers.

regular reminder that from end of July onwards I am in the market for new work opportunities, whether it’s academic postdocs or jobs in philosophy or adjacent fields, or freelance contracts—part time preferred, remote is ideal, but happy to negotiate and work things out
