Sauce made with horseradish from our neighbour's garden

The garden is still kind of a mess but Stanislav doesn't mind.

Mofo went and started a war with Iran and then lost it.

But really, this threat that a whole civilisation will die? If someone can make that threat the civilisation has already died.

Our friend went hiking and brought us a big harvest of srijemuš, so I made pesto. Told the spouse, if Armageddon is tonight, we have had a good last meal. If not, tomorrow we have fritaja sa srijemušom.

Whatever you make of all the Armageddon-tonight predictions, that not a bang but a whimper line (from a pretty dodgy poet, still) does seem a little bit apt.

Ordinarily I would write a satirical piece about this visit by Tr*mp's idiot son, ali danas mi je muka od svih tih podmuklih čudovišta. www.nezavisne.com/novosti/bih/...

Every university should be run by people whose lives are committed to knowledge and understanding.

“Solidarity across difference, this insistence that you could remain yourself, you didn’t have to change who you were, while also fighting alongside others for a better and more beautiful world: that’s the heart of why the Bund remains so morally inspiring today.” www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

If Ye is what it took, fine. Now listen: private music commodity corporations out of the people's parks. Don't wall off a third of them for a summer. If you want music, do a free and open arts festival. Money? Raise funds for a worthy cause while it is happening. www.theguardian.com/music/2026/a...

It's fine not to have him around but this seems like an excessive way of compensating for a private company's bad management of a music festival. www.theguardian.com/music/2026/a...

What's good about this lead sentence from a news article is its beguiling lack of specificity as to who “the right winger” is.

What's behind the curtain at our lovely places of employment. Yes, trafficking is the right word. www.theguardian.com/education/ng...

Also: makes a very nice pesto. n1info.rs/magazin/zdra...

In fact I feel very bad for Mr West. What he needs is medical attention. What he has is profiteers turning his illness into a spectacle.

They both are missing the red star in the middle.

We must have saved thousands in herb costs since we started growing our own lorber. Also, invite us to a graduation anytime, we will be ready.

Report from dogwalking: saw the lady who used to work at the pancake place. We don't know her name so we call her Sister Pancake.

Going all out with the non-bold predictions this week! eastethnia.wordpress.com/2026/04/06/t...

When I taught the intro course for Holocaust and Genocide Studies, the topic I most hated covering was the “uniqueness debate,” a wholly useless exchange from from the 1970s organised around the contention of a few chauvinists that nothing in history is related to anything else. Now it's catechism?

There we go, kicking off the gardening season by giving the olive trees their annual spring haircut.

Take the food. Then vote how you want.

I'm not so disturbed by the president of the USA using obscenities. Let people talk the way they like in the register they prefer. It's more concerning that he is a child raping, war crime committing, racist hunk of fetid shit

All that holiday food was a bit much, time for some good old fashioned shtetl cuisine. thefoodietakesflight.com/vegan-kung-p...

People in our neighbourhood are already fairly unhappy about the local govt's custom of letting a private corporation wall off a third of our park every summer for their commercial music festival. It doesn't help that this year's headliner is Kanye West.

At some point in the early to mid 1970s everyone said we will just let Miles Davis, no matter how self indulgent and drug addled he is, do whatever he wants. This became the cultural model that would be applied to people much less deserving than Mr Davis.

The new negative superlative in sociology

Oh don't worry, nothing big going on here. Just a govt minister inviting police to kill people for ideological reasons. It's nothing, have a nice snack. n1info.rs/vesti/video-...

Sometimes you are just in one of those moods, Novosti is not trashy enough no matter how hard they try, and you just have to read Informer. That's fine, just wash afterwards.

Oh, is it "damaging to trust in politics"? Well now. Imagine trust in politics being damaged. Is anyone hurt? Right, thought not.

Sure, a "fraud" crackdown. How about a "raping children" crackdown, Clownstick?

“So, what does sociology teach that so incenses fascists? For one thing, that we share a common humanity with others whose beliefs and ways of living are different.”

My go to cooking oil is olive, but when that's not right then when I was still young the Argentinci taught me that the second best oil is grape seed.

--Možeš li danas kupiti Persil? --Nemoj da si persiflažna.

All you need on asparagus is salt, pepper, and olive oil. Sve drugo je persiflažeraj.

It was the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments that forced the USA to begin becoming a democracy. Undo those and you undo the democracy. Which is what many people have wanted for the last 160 years.

Do you ever find yourself just reading the news and suddenly you are involuntarily singing the refrain “onaj mali psihopat, mali podli psihopat.....”?

There's a dude on the train reading "The female eunuch" by Germaine Greer. That takes some cojones.

Nick should complain about the photo imitating the cover of his (pretty great) album.

I totally had to look up the word "persiflažan." Never read it, never heard it in conversation. Anyway, thanks nacoši, it's a good word. www.danas.rs/vesti/drustv...
