THREAD.

3 years ago, with no warning, a brilliant orange farm cat wandered over from the draughty barn where he had been living, in rural Cornwall, and decided he wanted to live with us instead.

We decided to call him Jim.

This is the first photo I took of him, on that night: December 1st, 2022.
As you can see here, right from the very first day he entered our house, Jim found great difficulty in getting settled and making the environment his own.

Now for some sports news...
(this week's cartoon for @theguardian.com books pages)
Panel One: A sportscaster speaks to a television camera "You join us just in time for the annual booksellers versus librarians tug of war." Panel Two: We see the participants warming up as he continues... "Two very strong teams this year, they’ve both been in training since February. As always, the real skill in this match is not to start chatting about boo-" Panel Three: "Too late!! A pair of librarians are discussing the new Margaret Atwood! A crowd is forming! The booksellers are joining in! It's all over!!" We see all the participants chatting. Panel Four: The sportscaster finishes up to the camera: "The rope lies untouched! The discussions continue! We have a draw for 325th year in a row! Join us again next year!" End. Bonus alt-text Content: Fun fact! The first tug of war was between the staff of Cranston Library and those of Daniel Midwinter Booksellers www.cranstonlibraryreigate.com/ www.blogs.nottingham.ac.uk/manuscripts/2017/11/10/booksellers/

It's time to remove laptops from classrooms.

24 experiments: Students learn more and get better grades after taking notes by hand than typing. It's not just because they're less distracted—writing enables deeper processing and more images.

The pen is mightier than the keyboard.

Oorlog is heel erg. Niet alleen voor mensen, maar ook voor dieren. In Gaza hebben ze bijna geen brokjes en dokters voor de diertjes. Daarom start de #PVDB in december een grote brokjes-actie. Omdat we onze eigen brokjes liever niet delen, doneren we aan Stichting Animal Heroes. Doe met ons mee!
De top drie van de PVDB op een rij. Links Bonkie met een reclameflits: grote brokjesactie in December. Daarnaast Joris in zijn Brokploegpakje met een reclameflits: hou deze pagina in de gaten. Daarnaast Koen met zijn aardbeienmutsje op. Reclameflits: dat moest sowieso al. En daarnaast Bertje met het PVDB logo. De titel is "brokjes voor Gaza" en de slogan die er onder staat is: Elke brokje is er één, help ons helpen.

Prometheus stole fire from the gods to give to the people.

Techbros, through AI, are stealing fire from the people and using it to warm themselves.

What precious fucking irony that is.

Of all the historical figures you've researched for your books, who would you invite to a dinner party? It's a very strange question when you think about it. I mean, obviously I would choose Shakespeare, and probably Isaac Newton. But the thing is, you wouldn't be learning anything - you'd be spending the whole dinner explaining to them why they're not dead any more! I mean, they would just be saying, "What the fuck, what's going on?" and it wouldn't be like a congenial dinner party with everybody drinking and relaxed. And then, you know, who's going to tell them that when the dinner is over, they have to be dead again - that they have to go back to their graves? I don't want to be associated with this exercise.
