It appears to me that today is International Sceptics Day. While I do not affirm that it is so, there seem to be reasons to celebrate, although there also seem to be equally persuasive arguments in favour of not celebrating.

Going over some old lecture notes as I work out what I need to add for next term, I rediscover this picture (by @sirjoancornella) which encapsulates nicely Simplicius Commentary on Aristotle’s De Caelo 295,1–9:

“I despise the kind of book which tells you how to live, how to make yourself happy. Philosophers have no good news for you at this level. I believe the first duty of philosophy is making you understand what deep shit you are in!” ― Slavoj Žižek

Today is International Cat Day - and how better to celebrate it than sharing a wonderful feline Autochrome? I have cleaned-up this lovely 114-year-old Autochrome plate by Marcel Meys, entitled "Portrait of a cat sleeping on a cushion". It was captured in colour in 1912 using an early colour glass-plate process. It isn't colourised.
