In the Spider-man movie I'd like to see he's an old old man, confined to an armchair, wearing a dressing gown over his web-suit, smoking a pipe through the mask and talking about his hopes and regrets, none of which involve superhero-dom

Finally, the bug is back with a round of the Guinness.

Fun fact: the remotes for Naim Audio amplifiers and @cambridgeaudio.bsky.social streamers both control each other's volumes, prompting a homework problem for my #Acoustics students about whether the resulting volume changes are evenly spaced or not

Come for the acoustics, stay for the ableist slurs!

The real heroes in this class discourse are the brave journalists waiting two, sometimes even three whole replies before mentioning that they went to Oxbridge.

Is it really so awful to do what the French do and actively subsidise small non chain bakeries?

For the first time in my life I've got a hi-fi amplifier with a remote. For all of five minutes I was impressed with being able to change the volume or mute an LP without getting up, then I started resented not being able to pause or skip tracks on the LP

Bear in mind this analysis whenever you read some argument for cutting courses that don't pay. Particularly from Brexiteers. Graduating into a bad economy - thank you, Brexit - makes good courses look bad

Can't. I'm gonna bounce up and down on my spring

The heating in my office picked a great day to not come on

Obsessed with the decisions made for this Gustav Holst album I found at the thrift store

This will get the pulses racing.

Wow, now that's a picture. If only women aged 18-59 could vote in the UK parliament.

I just signed this

B.ENO I have been informed that Mr. Eno has now seen this. “Very amusing” was the verdict. I get up to all sorts on Patreon.com/frasergeesin if you fancy it. My comics are also “Very amusing” and cheap from Frasergeesin.com

The wonderful thing about Tyggers Is Tyggers are burning bright Their tops are made out of rubber In the forest of the night What bouncy, trouncy, flouncy, pouncy, Immortal hand or eye Did frame the most wonderful thing about Tyggers, Their fearful symmetry!

"I'm eating a pound with each meal, is that enough?"

Sam Altman was right - this unironically is PhD-level intelligence

Trust me, the woman of academia are not at all surprised by the number of academic men orbiting Epstein.

Practising self-care by not admitting that I partly agree with the latest hot take that everbody's dunking on

"Nice try Mr Roper, but you're forgetting one thing: I used to work in a hotel!" [Roper finds his pillow overloaded with mints and his toilet roll folded to a particularly aggressive point] #TheNightManager

Tried the Monty Hall problem on my daughters (8). Both adamant that the car is the booby prize. One wants the goat and the other wants the empty box because where would we keep a goat?
