I can’t be bothered to do a link dump or take a photo of anything today, so here’s something I prepared earlier.

The Boy made this “tower” at school yesterday. Can anyone explain it to me? Did his teacher not notice?

The Boy (4) brought this home from school for me today. I have no idea what he used instead of scissors (did he chew the pictures out??), but the best bit is the dedication inside…

“But indeed a vast multitude of such sharp people were clutching, patenting, pre-empting, monopolising this or that feature of the new development, seeking to subdue this gigantic winged power to the purposes of their little lusts and avarice. That trial is just one of innumerable disputes of the same kind. For a time the face of the world festered with patent legislation.”

The World Set Free by H. G. Wells, 1914.
