   Tom Scott put up a video in June saying he'd take a hiatus in six months, but now it's been taken private.

     @shom Yeah, some videos like that felt like preparing for the impending hiatus.

     @clacke he also put out a mistakes video a couple months back, correcting the record in preparation for the hiatus. As much as I would love more Tom Scott, I hope he takes the time off he needs.

     If you get his newsletter (archive going to be open soon) he does say the next one is the last before the sabbatical.

     @vam103 Thanks!

     tomscott.com/newsletter/2023-1… confirms it, any remaining videos have already been filmed and I wish him all the best in whatever he discovers he wants to do next.

     There is a lot of the last ten years that I haven't yet seen! I'm enjoying the joyful snippets from Lateral and it's also introducing me to other great science-oriented creators that I have added to my feed. I haven't yet checked out Tom Scott Plus.

     @clacke
     Well have to keep the York alumni promoted.

     On that I have been watch a bit of @mattgrayyes 's new stuff and its pretty good.

     Also discovered the Technical Difficulties and was instantly transported back to a combination of University and BBC Radio 4. There is a podcast as well as the YouTube channel. Even a guest appearance from @standupmaths.

     On the latter, just started "A problem squared" which is the new excitement in podcasts for me.

     And here it is, the last video on the #TomScott channel, in this format, on this weekly cadence.

     And what a very Tom Scott video it is. 🥰

     Thank you, sir. I will keep watching your many other things you're already doing, and I'm sure to check out whatever new experiments you'll embark on when that time comes.

     It's been a lovely ten years and I haven't even seen the entire back catalog yet.
