Visited Told & Snaps in Copenhagen for the third time - the last visit was pre-Covid. Some really tasty smørrebrød was eaten, and some nice aquvits were had. One of my go-to-places whenever I am around in Copenhagen

Russia has one strategic refinery left running at full capacity. One. After Ukraine struck Slavyansk and a Yaroslavl refinery on June 28, Russian media named Omsk as the last plant standing. Moscow's own refinery stays offline through 2026. Over 20 regions are rationing fuel.

Barbra Streisand.

That is actually very helpful... Primer (2004) initially confused me, as most time-travel movies do

Dalí spent every summer of his childhood on one stretch of the Catalan coast—Cadaqués, on the Costa Brava. He called it the most beautiful place on earth. Then he painted it rotting. Why did summer reveal decay for Dalí? 🧵👇 #artbots #dali

#BehindTheScenes: Sword training for Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sandahl Bergman with master Kiyoshi Yamazaki for 1982's 'Conan the Barbarian'.

🔴 Crimea Isolated: Putin’s Strategic Prize Turned Into a Strategic Weakness With Crimea increasingly cut off from Russian resupply, Brynn Tannehill looks at the options for Ukraine? https://bylinetimes.com/2026/06/26/crimea-isolated-putins-strategic-prize-turned-into-a-strategic-weakness/

He can fuck straight off.

HF3 looks ... different from what I expected

The cooling system was installed by the village AC technician, Thermodynamix 😊

Loving this! Seen at Illum, Copenhagen #Peanuts

wandering around Copenhagen, I saw this

"As you move through this life and this world you change things slightly. You leave marks behind and in return life and travel leaves marks on you. Most of the time those marks on your body or on your heart are beautiful. Often though, they hurt" ~Anthony Bourdain

Never did I think I would see a cure for sickle cell in my lifetime. A friend of mine in fifth grade died from this disease. My parents kept me home from the funeral because they thought I was too young to handle it. Modern science is a miracle. www.wafb.com/2026/06/23/n...

Yes, it's summer. FFS 🤬🥵

Okay, since Right (Reich?) Move have taken down THAT house tour... ...here's the one line every historian dreads hearing from someone, and why.

It's articles like these which make Ars Technica exceptional. An insightful interview with Cory Doctorow. He is not only able to coin fitting terms to certain trends ("enshittification") but has the ability to explain things such that someone like me can understand arstechnica.com/gadgets/2026...

it is 2056. Britain's GDP per capita is now below Albania. The front page of the Mail demands that Brexit finally be delivered properly.

All three Chinese Ghost Story movies are great! Watched them initially as a teenager, did a re-watch early this year. Enjoyed them 👻

If other news was reported like climate change:

It's the 10th anniversary of the dumbest moment in modern British history so let's celebrate some of the idiots who made it happen. First up ... Jacob Rees-Mogg and his promise of cheap food and wine... In fact food prices have increased some 12% as a direct result of Brexit (LSE) 1/5

Why? FFS 😵 arstechnica.com/health/2026/...

Robert Altman's California Split is an influence on 2015's Mississippi Grind, a downbeat character study about gamblers starring Ryan Reynolds and Ben Mendelsohn. If you've only ever seen these guys in blockbusters, their performances are a revelation. 4 out of 5. film-authority.com/2026/06/23/m...

Draining the swamp. As promised. And of course, others are to blame and will be sued. Man, that playbook sounds really lamer and lamer....I am certain that will help ratings www.bbc.com/news/article...

The Vast Of Night (2019) Watched this prior to football last Sat and enjoyed it, would rate 3.5/5. A retro sci-fi movie in which a radio DJ and a switchboard operator get dragged into an alien abduction mystery. After a rather long intro sequence that lasts 15 min, the story dragged me in 1/🧵

I remember this series fondly, but don't dare to find out how well it has aged The main character, Raistlin Majere, really rocks. I remember liking the character because he wasn't just the usual good or evil, but pretty much in the middle. His journey to become a godlike wizard was awesome

It's summer, apparently... When the steering wheel is too hot to grip properly

Cold brew tea is brilliant. That one looks even better - will give it a go🏖️😋

What do Andy Burnham, Boris Johnson and Brexit all have in common? Quite a lot, actually. They’re all attempts to solve the same underlying problem. The trouble is that Britain has spent forty years arguing about the treatment while largely ignoring the diagnosis.

🎯 an essay that describes the UK's malady for the last 40y and is spot-on, imo. Time to address the root causes, or Burnham's term will likely end exactly the same as Starmer's. Take care of inequality, diversify the economy, take responsibility instead of blaming immigrants, the EU etc

In 2023, Jeffrey Goldberg and I wrote, among other things, about Ukrainian plans to liberate Crimea in @theatlantic.com. With road and ferry connections to the peninsula now cut off, they seem suddenly more plausible www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

The creature effects in THE THING were the work of Rob Bottin, barely into his twenties. He worked seven days a week for over a year, slept on the set, and by the time it wrapped he was hospitalised with exhaustion and pneumonia.

This is a fascinating discovery. For the first time, a study has shown that older mice given a transplant of gut microbiomes from younger animals boost their brain plasticity. This means their brains are better able to adapt to changes. 🧪 #health #microbiomes www.newscientist.com/article/2531...

It’s the 7th anniversary of German police seizing 4,200 litres of beer in Ostritz, a town of only 2,300 people, which would sound like a mean-spirited thing to do, were it not for the fact that they were preventing a bunch of Nazis having any beer at a festival celebrating Hitler 🧵

At the Reflecting Pool, and guys, this doesn't look right.

A visitor fell into the Reflecting Pool today

Hilarious

Cousin Eddie, now we know 🫢😂 #MakeAlgaeGreatAgain Kudos to whoever did that

weiß nich wer das ursprünglich erstellt hat aber ich finds so scheiße lustig, kann ichneuch nich vorenthalten 🫎

A fitting meme for the current weather in the western parts of Europe. It will stay like this for the next 7 days at least... 36 to 37°C in Basel today 🥵💩

oh wow! 🤯

Finally, a statement in open and clear language! 🙄🫢 www.reuters.com/business/med...

Some motifs became signatures in Dalí’s late 1940s work. The Elephants (1948) distills one of them: monumental bodies on impossibly thin legs, a physics-defying silhouette rendered with hyper-realistic shading.

Es tut mir so Leid aber ich habe es gesehen, also müsst ihr es auch…. Es tut mir wirklich Leid!!! 😭

Aptly named, I'd say 😂
