A Conspiracy Week of Tweets 2010-11-07

  • Spent the weekend in a movie marathon and I can't be bothered catching up on tweets. Anything I should know about ? #
  • Saw a Charles Bronson film at the marathon (The Mechanic) which was actually good. Still don't know why Leonie thought he could act, though. #
  • All of "The Fast Show" on DVD? How will I get any work done this week? Also, who's in for a Fast Show Marathon at mine? #
  • Have started watching season 1 SG1 with Mum. They keep referring to Carter as "Doctor." When did they stop doing that? #
  • Writing an abstract for an Applied Philosophy Conference in Brighton next August. Trying very hard to get it under the 300 word maximum. #
  • Thinking of holding a Twitter conference. All papers must be, at most, five tweets in length (excluding title tweet). Broad brief. Who's in? #
  • Chemtrails NZ Flyer http://tumblr.com/xquo8r1tw #
  • Call for Papers: 1st Episto Tweet Conference, December 3rd, 2010 http://bit.ly/9WHPzZ #twecon #
  • I'm pleased to say that we have eight presenters already for the Tweet Conference. Join us! http://bit.ly/9WHPzZ #twecon #
  • May have just come up with a novel solution to the problem of a) how we estimate the incidence of conspiracies and b) does it matter? #
  • Have just discovered "Hipster Hitler." Not sure whether I should like it or not: http://hipsterhitler.com/ #
  • Some of my best work is in my footnotes. I really need to turn this into a proper book post submission. #
  • Some days, when I defending a limited warrant of conspiracy theories, I wonder why I bother, given the crap such theorists end up spouting. #
  • Gah, English slippage. #
  • The prophecy was false. #tweetyour16yearoldself #
  • I, for one, am not buying Stephen Fry's explanation for his horrendous misstep on claims about female sexual desires. #
  • As I just tweeted, I think Mr. Fry needs to (re-)read Vonnegut's "Mother Night." #
  • BSG footnote in thesis? Check. Will it survive to the next draft. Not likely. #
  • I have a lot of friends on Twitter who come from Christchurch. Obviously my witticisms play well in Te Wai Pouanamu. #
  • Thus far half the #tweetyour16yearoldself tweets are warnings to their younger selves, the other half are tweets from their younger selves. #
  • Has there ever been a machine more highly correlated with egregious douchery than a jetski? (via @badtom) #
  • The robot design in the most recent "Sarah Jane Adventures" storyline is really quite good. Well done, BBC. Well done. #
