There's a floor plaque in Shinagawa Station, marking the spot Godzilla is first supposed to have hit land in Japan. You can now buy plaque merchandise. shopping.jreast.co.jp/feature/S008...

This is amazing. A dog dressed as a unicorn, with the knitter crying with joy when it came out (was it ever in?) and another dog dressed as a Chelsea Pensioner 🤩 #KnittingBakeOff

Glad that someone has finally taken responsibility for the appalling assault on democracy that was the Jan. 6 insurrection.
Slightly confused that it's the Director-General of the BBC, but what do I know?

We've all worked with this kid, yeah?
Loving today's news that the mysterious "fedora man" outside the Louvre heist was actually a 15-year-old museum visitor who dresses like a 1940s French detective all the time, just because. apnews.com/article/louv...

45. This week it's Anthony Gormley at the RA, 2019. There was a lot to love in this exhibition. I loved the bodies, I loved the concrete, I loved the massive angular dark tunnel thing, but my favourites were the cases and cases full of Gormley's workbooks. #52ArtBooks25

This throws up some really interesting questions.
One of those ones where I've got so many connecting thoughts that it's pub-chat stuff.

Peak Autumn-25 email yesterday apologising for not getting some MP Christmas card competition entries to me because "We had a lesson to do this but sadly we had an incident which hijacked it and took me out of class. The remaining pupils ended up drawing ‘67’. We'll try again." 😁
The number 67 isn’t just a page - it’s now slang! 😳
79% of secondary and 71% of primary teachers heard students using “6-7” in a typical week. Some even requested it painted on their faces for the end-of-term disco 🎉

@januszczak.bsky.social Help! I'm trying to find the reference/ quote you mentioned in one of the recent podcasts about art being best in a hierarchy because it's 'instant'. I can remember which bit of road I was driving on, but can't find it skimming through. Please can you tell me who said it?

If we really want students to develop grit and resilience we should put trying to recruit a Science teacher in the curriculum.

Interesting thread and discussion on team teaching #AcademicSky
Compulsory team teaching on every module is perhaps the biggest ever threat to the quality of teaching in UK universities.
It causes chaos on the ground for timetabling, ruins course coherence and turns lecturers into permanent supply teachers. It is pedagogically incoherent… 1/

This is bigger news than a curriculum review 🤩
🇨🇦 The EBU has confirmed it is in "very early stages" of discussion with CBC/Radio Canada about potential participation in #Eurovision.
"The Canadian conversation with CBC is in its very early stages and we look forward to continuing our discussions with them."
