I successfully* explained to a hotel staff guy that he shouldn’t button both buttons of his jacket… in Swedish. *true success means it was a discrete convo and he didn’t seem to feel embarrassed or weirded out by my explanation.

Det är irriterande att SVT i programmet Fråga Lund väljer en öron-, näsa- och halsläkare för att svara på frågor om epidemiologi, särskilt eftersom dennes svar går emot vad de flesta experter inom epidemiologi och immunitet skulle säga.

Do not touch The Wheel of Death.

”I’d buy that for a dollar!”

Guys I don’t want to be the one to email HR but you can’t play Nissan Altima by Doechii on the speakers at the work gym.

P1 pratade om valet och transfrågor. Pratade de om vården och vårdköerna? Nej. De pratade om språk som får cispersoner att känna sig obekväma.

I appreciate the social media epidemiology here:

Ira Glass came up on my TikTok fyp and I bolted away, that is a voice to only be heard. I will not associate a moving face with that voice.

The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.

I’m on my way to the Lund Pride march and a not-inconsequential preparation is making sure my Pokémon GO ducks are in a row.

My dog sitting as if she’s the subject of a magazine article about a retired professor whose new book is controversial but popular in elite circles.

What a gift to have election night anxiety in more than one enfranchisement.

This SVT election night coverage seems to think theatrics and drama should be the priority for their broadcast, as if it’s Melodifestival.

Nu har jag röstat i Sverige för första gången.

Taco Fries! Bad choices with good outcomes.

A concise exploration of the medieval time period with a stress on the interconnected nature of it all. The foreword warns this isn’t Game of Thrones: there will be no dragons involved, but dragons are mentioned multiple times. :) ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐️ @profgabriele.com #booksky libro.fm/audiobooks/9...

It’s very “On Brand” that Miljöpartet, the Swedish environmental party, has printed their political posters on easily biodegradable materials.

I’m telling you, I make good pancakes. Years of practice.

Convenience Store Woman Sayaka Murata, G. Takemori (Translator) This was a weird little novella (complimentary) about some flavor of asexual autistic person in Japan & how they navigated, or didn’t navigate, cultural expectations. I think I lacked the local cultural context to fully appreciate it.

The chapter where Odysseus goes to the underworld is just classic Greek “Remember some guys”. Hercules is down there! Tityus, Tantalus, & Sisyphus too.

Categories are fake, there will always be weird edge cases where the boundaries fail, this is just a fact. The question is not "is this category REAL or TRUE" the question is "is this category USEFUL" because categories are tools, not features of the universe.

I love how Werner Herzog is ALWAYS like this:

I spent the afternoon at Ribersborg Kallbadhus. A little bit of swimming in the sea and sitting in the sauna but for the most part it was all about laying out in the sun, and reading.

"should cyclists wear helmets" discourse is such a good one because the arguments for both positions are totally common-sense and unassailable, everyone just digs in.

Excuse me?
