I work in a big STEM research university and if I walk around saying magic isn't real it will become a polemic around the campus.

[@kevintowle9665]

Glad you are back in a good headspace Steve!

[@saintdonoghue]

Maybe I'll cheer myself up some more by making a patented Kevin Towle Attack Video! Those always put a smile on my face!

As for the rotten day and Stevestream: I thought it was poetic that Dickens popped up so many times, because we can see Scrooge's full emotional arc in about 30 minutes (Kidding, of course -- it was a real joy to see your energy and general vibe levitating out of the gutter, Steve! Kinda made me feel better as a viewer, to be privileged to see the influence of our attendance on the host. If that's not too betacuck.)

[@paulroslindale7217]

Interesting commentary as always! Could you point me to one or two books published in the last 50 years in which the author contends that magic is real?

[@stevegilhool8526]

I was in the Livestream yesterday, which was lovely, but you were about as perturbed as I've ever seen you. So glad you're feeling better!

[@saintdonoghue]

Perturbed, yes - you've all seen my royally ticked off, or even genuinely sad, but not usually perturbed, and I certainly was. The stream helped enormously!

[@tedrastlin7972]

hey this reminds me of this book called Religion and the Decline of Magic by Keith Thomas.

[@arselanehadjslimane2582]

Glad to hear the livestream helped you

[@leopercara3477]

You want to revive your book club to kill it again and break our little hearts.

[@saintdonoghue]

Hah! Well, I'd TRY not to kill it again! Maybe I should save the re-launch for the new year -
