For many years my dad was a regular reader of the Guardian, so I'm very pleased that they were able to share his obituary. ❤️

Today I received my certificate for 100 hours of volunteering at @Hullhistorynews. ⌛️
I've loved being part of the @UniOfHull's Centenary Archives Photo Project, scanning negatives from the 1960s to create a digital archive. – at Hull, England

My latest cartoon for @newscientist
ALT A crowded stadium. Thrilled fans watch from the terraces, fixated by the figures on the brightly-lit court. Over the noise, the commentator shouts excitedly: "Hughes conceives a lovely hypothesis. Wilson tests it through repeated observation. Evans adds experimental data then passes back to Hughes, who states the theory in unambiguous terms and the crowd goes wild!!!"

Wherever possible, please do support your local bookshop. 📚
Independent booksellers add so much character to a high street or town, plus they go above and beyond to support authors.

Anyone for a cuppa? Make time for a catch up with someone you've not seen for a while #It'sGoodToTalk #CheckingIn #ShowUCare #FreeSupport116123
Earlier this month I was interviewed by @UniOfHull about their Career e-Mentoring Programme.
Thanks to David Simpson, Matt Beecroft and Jill Smithson for the opportunity, and of course Sam Cawley and the team at @Blink_Video for capturing everything. 📸 🎬
The house where I grew up, 174 Hathersage Road, #Hull (HU8 0EW), is now for sale. 🏡 It's a lovely home in a peaceful neighbourhood, close to Gillshill and Cavendish primary schools, Malet Lambert secondary school, East Park and the Lambwath pub. beercocks.com/property/3-bed…

11. This is what approaching the Statue of Unity in India looks like.
It's the tallest statue in the world: standing at 182 meters (597 ft) tall, it's nearly three times the height of the Statue of Liberty.

I'm reposting this cartoon and deleting the previous version, because the hashtag I used was attracting a swarm of AI spam and bots.
ALT A figure stands before a large screen bearing the words 'Current Research' and says "Investors are so overexcited about AI that we can get pretty much any project funded if it has the right initials. The image on the screen changes to research display projects in turn: Attack Insects, Airborne Icebergs, Arm Improvements, Antelope Internet…
Yesterday I received an unexpected but very welcome email from the Guardian. My dad's obituary, which was published online in March, is in today's printed edition (page 11 of the Journal section). It's amazing to know that so many more people will get to read about his life. ❤️

I'd like to once again thank everyone who donated in memory of my dad, Ian Sutherland. The final amount comes to £587.83 plus £133.04 in Gift Aid, which makes £720.87 in total for @RSPCAHull. ❤️

150 years ago today, at precisely 8pm, the world of art changed forever.
What happened? A small, independent art exhibition opened in Paris.
It was a financial failure and barely 3,000 people went — but, in time, these artists would come to be known as "the Impressionists"...

It sounds oddly specific, but 19th century drain pipes were quite something...
.@xsarahpenney has been looking after the marquee that's currently on Stage@TheDock in @FruitMarketHull, which will soon host @MiddleChildHull's latest show, 'Baby, He Loves You'.
