Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Agree. I wish these people would look at the data, if that's what floats their boat. Courses like maths and biology don't perform better that art history or English. And why not make it possible to do STEM AND arts/hums? (I did).

Sven Seljom elsker havregrøt så mye at han drar til Skottland for å delta i VM
Sven Seljom (57) tok med seg norsk vann og havre til Skottland. Det skulle vise seg å bli VMs gulloppskrift.

I used to do a random land features multiple choice trivia question to start my S4 geography class. Once, I chose the Ob delta. Before I even displayed the choices, one of my pupils , originally from Bulgaria, nearly leapt out of his seat and shouted, "Miss, its the Ob!" Geography legend.

Today I was informed about this ESRI blog post about the river Ob, Russia, and its landform features:

@watershedlab.bsky.social kindly pointed me to the files that were not accessible via the usual procedures.

Given HMS Satisfaction was on its way to Jamaica, negligence doesn't begin to describe it...

I always try to remember to thank them. I was giving a bumblebee talk last week and digressed into wasps for a bit, to give them their just dues.

This could be a long and rambling thread. Be patient with me.

I bought an old mahogany bureau on Ebay. I didn't really want a bureau as we're meant to be downsizing, but it was a beautiful piece & obviously very old. Google lens suggests the brass chased handles are Queen Anne. That's 1702-1714 😯

It's crazy!! I also have to register with the ICO - another £50. On top of PI etc etc etc. I am not against regulation per se but when nobody has sight of the big picture, it creates an impossible environment.

The pews of English churches are wooden bestiary. A carved chronicling of all the country's imagined animals. Here are dragons! Here are antlered dormice, here are winged hares! Prayers distracted by wonderful beasts. – Lucy Hay, architectural historian, 'Wooden Wonders', BBC Two, 1979
