Vi måste bryta oss bort från Microsoft och Google så snabbt som möjligt på unions nivå. Europa behöver kunna existera utan beroende på USA.

Även värt att kolla på Cory Doctorows idéer om att som motåtgärd i handelskriget luckra upp vissa regler om intellektuell egendom, t.ex. det oerhört starka patentskydd som USA:s läkemedels- och mjukvaruindustri har drivit igenom. thelogic.co/briefing/tru...

For what it’s worth I don’t use a gmail account and won’t be randomly contacting new authors enthusing about their books and giving them dodgy links to click on. There’s a new wave of author impersonation going round apparently.

China just installed a 20 MEGAWATT wind turbine at sea, as part of a research project. That's enough to power approx. 3,000 homes per day - all from 1 turbine. (Not even the most powerful! Another turbine started trials in September that can generate 26 MW.) www.offshorewind.biz/2026/01/15/w...

Bill Watterson is my favorite cartoonist. I adored the relationship btw Calvin and Hobbes as a child. But as I've gotten older, these strips feel even more tender and insightful. My respect for him grew when I learned of his stance against merchandising. Such principles are almost unheard of today.

My 13 year old brought me up to speed in the meme verse. It's fascinating. 6/7 is out aparently 🥀

The sober everyone realises how fucking stupid silicon valley is, the better. This is what the absolute cream of the crop does when handed billions.

Great science fiction predicts the traffic jam etc

Can’t think of a better encapsulation of the downstream effects of neoliberalism as an ideology than powerlessness of the state to penalise a billionaire-owned child pornography generator, substituted with a reflexive will to crack down on individual consumers who engage with said generator.

Starting the process of divesting myself of google and dropbox. And it was such a delight to kill a google account I've had for 20 years (after making sure it wasn't being used as a login to anything). Just gone. Wonderful.

Love this. I'm already a waiting customer. Take my money. 😁

A great reality check. The good news: Vibe coding makes it super easy for you to build an app. The bad news: Vibe coding makes it super easy for everyone else to build an app.

On a bus in rural Sweden and loving how the recorded announcements fort each stop is in the local dialect.

There are s where nothing happens; and there are days where months happen. My last couple of days feels like weeks. But things are settling down and it seems like they're selling into a good pattern.

Another day of taking parents to hospitals or visiting in hospital and once more in left with the feeling that the next fucker that complains about Swedish healthcare will get their balls kicked all the way up to the top of their skull. Yes they deserve more money. But what heroes! Legends!

Therese are so good. Having serious regrets I didn't buy one. I'm gonna blame Brexit.

I don't think it's possible to overstate how damaged our democracy has become on account of millions of people being trapped in social media / media halls of mirrors that prevent them from accessing even a rudimentary approximation of reality.

Hey Elon, this is how you prove that your robots aren't just remote operated mechanical puppetry.

I've been a reader my entire life. I love fiction. I've been trying to write my own for nearly as long as I've been reading. I've seen several ai lovers say that "Soon an LLM will write any book that you want" which tells me that they don't read for pleasure.

2026 has started with me becoming a member of the "Taking care of my parents who are ill" tribe. Funny how life comes at you. Feels like just yesterday that I was embarrased by them in high school. Also, next fucker to complain about Swedish healthcare gets a kick in the nuts.

Must be 20 years ago now when I entered a Stockholm pub, noticed empty seats beside two women and asked if I could sit there. "No" said one fiercely. I backed away. I told my friend at the bar who looked and said "Hey, that's Robyn!" I had not recognised her at all, I just wanted the damn seats.

In the mad rush of post Xmas sales I saw a pained face at the local mall. We exchanged a look of mutual "This suuuucks" and three days later I realized it was Karl Ove Knausgård I had "connected" with and that maybe his look of "I hear you and agree" was actually "Yes, it's me. The great Knausgård"

BIG NEWS EVERYONE I'm now officially a rejected author. I.e., I have submitted my first ever short story and got a rejection letter. On to the next publication.

So, something we got into a bit for the space book is the idea of resources as the source of wealth, because (a) it's widely believed, and (b) it's a claim used to justify all sorts of outlandish space ideas. The short version is that resources are a teeny tiny fraction of wealth.
