If Paris gets its name from being Lutetia Parisiorum ('of the Parisii'), and if the Parisii were also present in what's now the East Riding of Yorkshire, and if the main city of the East Riding is Hull, then I think Hull has a claim to be a second Paris

It’s my dad’s 60th in a couple of weeks so I bought him the Philipe Starck lemon squeezer he’s been on about wanting for decades. He’s never juiced a citrus fruit to my knowledge but functionality isn’t really the point is it

Alessi citrus squeezer. Mirror polished tripod style highly designed

When I first saw this picture without the caption I thought the joke was that the original cat had passed away by the time the first draft of the manuscript was ready, and I found it very relatable

Caption ‘the author of this math textbook casually throws in pictures of his cat’
Two pictures of tabby cats. Caption on the first ‘the author’s first cat’. Caption on the second ‘the author’s second cat proofreading the manuscript’
