Just learned that Simone Buitendijk left her vice-chancellor role at the University of Leeds (receiving a £288k payoff in the process), and then became a deputy vice-chancellor and provost at the University of Salford (seems like a 'demotion'?) Wonder what happened there.

A Norwegian detective fiction idea: a character called Børre Hyggelig, a policeman who always prioritises his own comfort instead of solving any case, but is able to carry on in his job with moderate success because the crimes always accidentally solve themselves and he can just claim credit.

Bloody Beaker folk. Coming over here, rowing up the Tagus Estuary in improvised rafts. My name is Keir Starmer of the UKIPs and I want the finest of Beaker folks to stay where they are, instead of coming here and teaching us how to drink water out of cups!

This morning, my Chinese mother has taken the time to remind me, via text message, that "only two things could happen to middle-aged men". They could either "become bloated like a melon or become shrivelled like a raisin". What happens next to me is "dependent on my diet". Thanks mum.

I saw this story and all I could think of was Alan Partridge, Norfolk's angriest man, shouting "Austria", "Stop getting Bond wrong!" and "Glang, glang ah lang ah lang ah lang ah lang"

I think about this plaque from a statue of Ming Dynasty general Yuan Chonghuan (1584-1630) at least three times a day.

Tidying my house and just found this handout from around 25 years ago when our professor found out none of us knew anything about French literature, so he tore up his class, wrote this handout on the spot, made 20 copies, and said "let's do French literature history for the next hour".

Over Christmas, I dreamt that I had invented a truly cursed 'food' item: a 'washable burger patty', a sponge-like object which releases beef flavours when one bites into it. One can then spit it back out, stick it in the dishwasher, and re-use in future burgers. It's vegan as well.

I spoke to Dan Smith from the band Bastille and historian Emma Nagouse about a song that Dan wrote on the early-nineteenth century Chinese pirate queen Zheng Yi Sao.
