Those are constant tasks, and also, I'm not sure that Freya would think they were a waste of time ...

I have now wasted 38 minutes of the 60 in the meeting; suggestions welcome for the remaining 22
Karma has given me the gift of a cancelled meeting this afternoon

Now, how can I best waste the time I've just regained?

It does seem odd, doesn't it! I will have a look at this in the new year - good spot!
December 15, 2025 at 1:51 PM
Ah, no, that would be a good use of the time. I'm interested in how to waste it!

I'm trying to persuade myself that The Mummy fits within the Dystopian Campus genre

That sounds like a great genre!

Mortifying trying to promote work at this time of year, but unfortunately it's still necessary to make a living from drawing due to a significant delay in successfully wooing a wealthy Kerry farmer and being whisked off in his John Deere to a life of diamond-encrusted wellies

It's such a long time since I pinched this picture I can't even remember where I found it. My apologies if it's yours (fine figure of a hamster you have there). Anyway, Seasons Greetings

The college was founded 700 years after St Hugh had become Bishop of Lincoln; perhaps this was what prompted Elizabeth Wordsworth to choose the name?

Elizabeth was great-niece of poet William Wordsworth, he of the lonely wandering cloud

Here's a #HigherEducationPostcard of @sthughscollege.bsky.social @ox.ac.uk

Founded in 1886 by Elizabeth Wordsworth as a college for women; her father was Bishop of Lincoln, as was St Hugh, after whom it was named

In German, the word for weather is “wetter”

Coincidentally, the word for weather in Wales is often wetter too, particularly today

Reminds me of P J O'Rourke's summary of the social sciences:
