Did the shopping. It is a certifiably ugly day.

I got a little snippy with the interviewer, sorry. “Da li je Tramp dorastao ovoj globalnoj igri? --Taj rasist i silovatelj jedva ume prepoznati žirafu a kamoli da radi neki odgovoran posao.”

For my birthday in 2020, the house asked me what gift I wanted. I said either tickets for Damir or a baguette pan. I got the baguette pan, which is good, because then the lockdown came, the concert was cancelled, and in the meantime I made a lot of bread. www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_zA...

Ljudi, please do not send me holiday greeting messages (unless we know one another and it is a genuine personal message).

“reflexive qualitative research is a distinctly human practice, undertaken by humans, with or about humans (e.g., through interviews, focus groups or textual data), and for the benefit of humans.”

Politics is just becoming a cesspit of revolting bigotry. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/d...

The auto parts store on our street is offering fresh pears and they look lovely but I don’t know, I’ve never bought pears from an auto parts store before.

So today I learned that another name for leblebija odnosno slanutak is naut. (In UK-ish slang “nowt” means “nothing”)

This evening's dinner preparation listening is Zamrock, the sound of not yet disillusioned 1970s Zambia. tidal.com/playlist/174...

Grant Wong takes us through the primary sources and approaches he uses to study punk.

The United States began its stop and start path to becoming a democracy when it passed the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments to the constitution. People have been trying to undo them for the past 160 years. Now they are trying again.

The boiler guy has to empty the boiler to replace the broken part. So he's filling buckets and taking them to pour down the drain. I tell him that's really a lot of water. He shrugs wearily and says 80 litres.

When I started driving (ha! haven’t driven a car for 20 years!) my mother told me ok, you will commit the routes to every place you need to go to memory. Every other place you need to go is a variation on what is in your memory.

This place is down the street from us. It was never luxurious but was always totally good enough, and it has a pool. Instead of repairing it the govt wants to let it decay and build something new at an excessive cost. n1info.rs/vesti/sports...

Went this evening to the performance from “Rok kamp za devojčice.” They’re bothered by the gender imbalance in domaći r n r, so they are addressing it by training them when they are young.

Son in law street

Here’s the bar “The run-over dove”

Odlazim od prijatelja: —Nego, da mi kažeš, koji mi je najbolji način da stignem do Cetinjske ulice? —Pa, ideš preko Ćacilenda. —A jel imaš neki drugi put? Nemam ništa protiv toga da budem prebijen ali ne bih baš danas.

Fofa je sasvim respektabilna pita.

Read in NewsNet, "Albanian Studies Now: A Look at Current Trends and Future Perspectives" by Nevila Pahumi. #NewsNet buff.ly/CwObM8f "As socialist era archival records become more readily available, scholars have begun to challenge long standing perceptions of Albania’s isolation."

Kad god vidim nešto o Tr*mpu pitam se ko ga jebe. A sad imam odgovor na to pitanje: maloljetnice koje su u prisilnom odnosu s zaštićenim kriminalcem.

Once my mother, of blessed memory, criticised me by saying oh yes, Eric, he has this daughter and he thinks she can do no wrong. This assessment was entirely correct. She can do no wrong.

The redacted Epstein files release reminds a person of what Miles Davis said about jazz: “It's not the notes you play, it's the notes you don't play.”

It is probably correct to assume that every single blacked out page is a record of Tr*mp raping another child.

I am such a rebel, drinking my martini out of a highball glass.

Starmer just keeps doing the wrong thing. Support independent media. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Anyway, the thing about coverups is that engaging in one is also a crime.

If mismanagement puts my university under and I am out of a job I will open a store selling headlights for Fiat automobiles and call it “Fiat lux.”

“kad bi pokušao zamisliti neku novu Jugoslaviju … nju bi se prije dalo zamisliti kao desničarsku klerikalno-konzervativnu utvrdu ekstremnih nacionalizama, čiji predstavnici fantastično surađuju i u potpunosti dijele sva uvjerenja i pogled na prošlost.” pescanik.net/titov-kip-u-...

The US doing something to protect the rights of workers? Something seems wrong here. novaekonomija.rs/vesti-iz-zem...

Right, so there's a crime, but was the crime the crime or was discovering the crime the crime? n1info.rs/vesti/tok-vo...

Oh yes, go right ahead. Not too bothered by the absence of the other members. www.theguardian.com/music/2025/d...

“a dean in the department”? The department will, with other departments, be a part of a faculty. The faculty will have a dean. A department has a chair. If it is a large department, maybe also a deputy chair. If a person has worked at a university they know the basic structure of a university.

A big Tr*mp-related project to build a kitsch hotel on the site of a damaged military building has collapsed. And the would-be beneficiaries are mad mad mad. open.substack.com/pub/ericgord...

The trans queestion is simple. Government has an obligation to protect people from discrimination. Getting up into strangers’ penises is someone else’s job.

Ništa naročito, omlet i salata.

Now I’m not a lawyer but still I think that the US putting sanctions on ICC judges because of decisions they have made has some implications for the independence of the judiciary.

They are killing international studies. If the UK had a clue that it was possible to do anything other than imitate bad decisions made in the US, it would be inviting these people to come and build powerhouse research institutes across the country. www.dailytarheel.com/article/univ...

Mystery solved! Thanks Feetso.

Layer of cloud, layer of sky, layer of pollution

Mislim, Tr*mp nešto radi, kažem ko ga jebe, ali to nećemo saznati dok ne bude objavio te čuvene fajlove.

Pitao sam ženu na pijaci da li su vam paprike ljute, ona kaže jesu ali su baš bez veze, kao da ih je neko uvozio iz Teska.

He is an unusually graceless and repulsive person.
