Great talk by Jonathan Healey (@SocialHistoryOx) on homicide in Early Modern England - including killings by the state. There were more hangings 1580-1630 than 1630-last hanging!

Predating slightly this latest bolt of multiverse movies, is the discussion of the @007 Bond franchise in this light. Which lead me to this article, which uses the term "Universe Fever", by @blake_1986 for @TrailerAddict (also crediting @TheInSneider) traileraddict.com/article/st…

Love that the Aristotelian diagrams Prof. Andrew Gregory (@ucl @stsucl) used in his talk were mirrored by the beautiful lights at Senate House. Also harking to @BillSherman_'s opening remarks on the elliptical libraries @Warburg_News. #SpaceInTime Conference
