An update on my writing and an AWFUL biography!

[@dreamofempire2114]

Bravo regarding your writing. That is a very good effort for just a few days of work. I’m also a huge fan of Wodehouse. I would say the Blandings stories are my favourites, but the Jeeves and Wooster books are also fantastic.

So entertaining! I just want to say I hope you keep making videos for a long time. It's a wonder to listen to your mind work. And your lungs. Happy New Year!

[@JoeSpivey02]

Well you’re the kindest soul ever reared! I’ll be chuntering from a sedentary position for a good while yet!

[@joshuacreboreads]

Wow, nice writing progress! Thank you for the video, Joe.

Does Mr Crebo pen the occasional brammer?

[@joshuacreboreads]

Not nearly as much as I should. For some reason, I continue to entertain the ridiculous notion that I must read everything of note before picking up the pen!

[@JoeSpivey02]

You’re a fine fool! But I recognise the feeling. I think you’ve read more than enough!

[@HannahsBooks]

Shackletonian! Yes indeed-perfect descriptor! (-4.5 C-I had to look it up-which is unusual for a daytime temperature here.) And periphrastic? Why not just use a simple word like circumlocutory? I am a big believer in the serious dangers of a Trump term, but his presser was so crazy and disorganized that it was almost hard to take it seriously. I’m wallowing in Arendt right now and thinking of you. We Hannahs appreciate your opening.

We see Endurance has rubbed off on our good lad. Stay warm Joseph!

[@JoeSpivey02]

In which Arendt are you wallowing? I like Eichmann in Jerusalem but I was driven to close 'The Origins of Totalitarianism'!

[@HannahsBooks]

@ A brand-new book-the first English-language translation of her poetry (!) and also a slim biography of Arendt published a few years ago by the translator. Interesting indeed.

8:52 About happenings in USA, that I obviously have to mention, even if I would like not to do so (there are other things and problems I would like to follow more than the US ones), I obviously have to due to nature of happenigs. All I will state is that certain rhetorique and ill manner of calling oposing politicians girls and giving tham bad names in general is really ugly at least, childish, and not what is expected from a superpower such as USA. Some enemies or time wasters may think it is funny, they even may find joy when reading such headlines, but this was not amuzing. Quite the contrary, it seemed illegal, rude, and it gives a really bad example to younger audiences. People from all over the world have certain expectations, and naming isn't one of them.

[@Mostirrelevant]

0:46 what do men and women of England (and in UK, in general) think about the weather? And, the most important question: how many candies were in the bottle mentioned in the Christmas Quiz? Around 50 or more?

'Tectonically rich'?

[@JoeSpivey02]

Very very very very rich. I’m sorry if my verbal adventures offend 😂

[@321bytor]

@@JoeSpivey02 Didn't offend, just bemused. All good 👍
