Today I have: 1. Shoveled snow 2. Walked my dogs for 2,5 hours, off road, snowshoes on 3. Shoveled more snow 4. Gone grocery shopping Now I'm tired.

"Kanske är det också en påminnelse om att vetenskapens styrka inte ligger i att alltid ha rätt, utan i viljan att pröva sig själv." En så kallad subtweet

Kortsiktig profit dessutom.

En av Folkbladets seriestrippar är Nemi. Jag tycker sällan den är rolig, men ofta är den också så jäkla LAT. Det här måste vara peak laziness. En platityd (Lise Myre orkade inte ens kolla upp ett citat den här gången), och en teckning på Nemi som tog fem minuter. Tänk att man kan få betalt för sånt!

Ovanligt intressant avsnitt av Filosofiska rummet, där @jeppsson.bsky.social presenterar "en ny filosofisk strömning: Philosophy of Madness" och samtalar lite med Fredrik Svenæus bl.a. om hur sådan filosofi skiljer sig från 1960-talets antipsykiatri. www.sverigesradio.se/avsnitt/pa-s...

Vi har alla sett videon där migrationspolisen skjuter en kvinna tre gånger i ansiktet point plank när hon skulle vända bilen. Trump säger att hon var vänsterterrorist som försökte mörda polisen. Med oss i studion för att diskutera detta opartiskt har vi Malin Ekman, Henrik Jönsson och Dick Erixson.

Kirk, Spock and Laban are having a blast in the cold winter weather. Laban needs a snowsuit because, as we say on the internet, himb a tropical boi.

Kirk, Spock and Laban on a long walk (3 h+) in the beautiful winter weather. No snow, just frost, and about -15 C (that's 5 liberty eagles). Laban premiered his new snow suit with fake fur lining on the inside.

Min nästa techno-fantasy: PROREKTORN ger sig in i matchen!

Cold again, to the dogs' delight.

I just read "there is no anti-memetics division" and it was awesome! It uses the well-known urban fantasy tropes of a secret organization dealing with threats that regular people can't know about, and magical stuff erasing itself from people's memories, but it draws out the IMPLICATIONS. (1/4)

Despite frequent remonstrations from digital archivists, Persephone never accepted that she could not photocopy a whole book in one go.

If you're American, you probably think reindeer are brown with button noses. It's because Disney doesn't think real reindeer are sufficiently pretty for Christmas, so they draw white-tailed deer (similar to Scandinavian roe deer, "rådjur") pulling Santa's sleigh.

Lämna blod, alla som kan. Bästa julklappen. Blodcentralen uppmanar alla givare att posta på sociala medier, så här är mitt bidrag.

Det pågår otroligt farliga saker i statsapparaten just nu. Jag vet inte om det är okunnighet, tjänstemän som tvingats slava under NPM för länge eller upphandlingsregler, men dörren till Thiel och Trump måste stängas snarast. Skriver om en akut säkerhetsfråga: www.etc.se/ledare/palan...

Nu skriver Aftonbladet om hur Forsell ljuger helt obekymrat om de som ska tvångsutvisas. Det är en stor majoritet av skötsamma personer. Men Forsell babblar om att det är värt pengarna att utvisa ondingar som begått mordförsök och våldtäkter på barn. www.aftonbladet.se/kultur/a/JO1...

Stockholm is so warm. I wore my thin winter coat but it's too warm. Should have worn just a blazer. Can't wear a knitted hat or gloves, would be much too warm. Can't even button my coat, because I stupidly thought that even though I travel south, the blazer season would be over.

Working-class habit I still retain: when there's a buffet included in the price, I'll make the most of it! This morning at the hotel: Baked beans with potatoes and tomatoes, three sandwiches with different toppings, yogurt and granola, coffee, fresh fruit, and different kinds of fruit juice.

We had a week or so of cold weather, lakes froze over, the sea was beginning to freeze, all that stuff. Now we've had days and days of rain, and it's gonna continue for like a week or so more. Climate crisis extreme weather, northern Scandinavian edition!

Philip K Dick goes on at length about how "space adventure" isn't a type of sci-fi. Real sci-fi is idea-driven and examines elements from our world in different settings. However, the supposed distinction between sci-fi and FANTASY is nothing but subjective opinion,and varies from person to person.

this matches what i learned writing about the uk case we're known for having gone off the deep end, but it's the press, not the electorate www.liberalcurrents.com/britains-bat...

I sat next to a priest at an AI conference. Priest: "Some people think bots can be persons, with souls. It's problematic." Me: "And there's a Jesusbot people can chat with. That's blasphemy, right?" "I'm a protestant, 'blasphemy' is more of a catholic concept ..." "But it IS, right?" "Well... Yes."

I'm feeling under the weather. Figured I should sleep it off. Unfortunately, Husband worked a night shift and the dogs think it's very important to GUARD Mum when she's home alone and feeling poorly. Meaning, more barking than sleep. Ok guys I know you mean well but still...

This absolute shitshow was published in Nature www.nature.com/articles/s41... Tag yourself! I'm "Frymblal". Or perhaps "Runctional Feature", hard to decide.

Nu blir det REKLAM: Julen närmar sig och Kugghjulssjälar kanske vore lämplig julklapp till nån ni känner? En "unik" (DN) och "lysande" (SvD) technofantasy som kombinerar action och filosofiskt djup (VK). Det blir en serie, tvåan är på G, men rätt fristående delar. Skicka meddelande för signerat ex!

My boys at the beach in the morning: Kirk, Spock and Laban.

I'm working on a specfic novel that features a minor villain with a robot who constantly agrees with and flatters him. My editor demanded I MASSIVELY TONE DOWN the robot's sycophancy because it was just too silly. I do think this improved the story and yet - my fictional AI was nowhere near this bad

You can't make this shit up.

Crazy day! On the train. Eva calls me, asks where I am, all these psychiatrists are waiting for my lectures. I said what? That’s in February! Eva said no we changed the date. I said yeah from Feb 20 to Feb 19, she said no to November 19! I said ok unexpected but I'm on it. Did have slides to reuse.

Laban before and after he got a buzz cut:

Going by train from the south to the north SO beats flying. I've written approx 6k words on my sequel novel on the train.

Is this how it works?

Länge syntes e-boken bara på Adlibris. Sökte man på "Kugghjulssjälar" på Bokus fick man bara upp den inbundna. Men förlaget mejlade och tjatade och TILL SLUT har Bokus fixat problemet. Nu syns e-boken där också! Trägen vinner.

Kirk, Laban and Spock. They have so much fun together!

Tågpersonal på SJ: "Var inte det när du hade en affär med henne?" "Jo, och det var kul på många sätt, men höll inte i längden..." Jag: Men ska ni prata om det här såhär offentligt? Ingen skam i kroppen? "Nä vi kunde ju inte konkurrera med de stora kedjornas priser."

Svårt att ta in hur totalt pantade de har blivit i det där partiet.

I'm in Montreal. I assumed everyone here speaks English too, but turns that's not the case. BUT! I have successfully spoken French with a lady working in a book shop. VERY slowly and badly, but at least I made myself understood!

Regeringen Kristersson har gett direktiv till polisen att sätta upp tusentals nya övervakningskameror runt om i landet. De har skruvats upp i alla centrum och invandrartäta områden, samtidigt som polisen ges tillgång till kamerabilder även från andra källor. Fler hamnar också i bilddatabaserna.

Saw The Ugly Stepsister. Then, out of morbid curiousity, I Googled "tapeworm diet" ... first hit was a health website advising you NOT to buy tapeworm eggs on the black market; they're advertised as miracle pills for weight loss, but are very dangerous! WTF! Is this still a thing? Review below:

Translation: "Eight-year-old Edda Svanlund Sekander dresses up as a hefty electric bill for Halloween, something she believes will scare the grown-ups as she goes trick-or-treating."

We ended up on a 16-17 km hike. It was a little longer than intended bc I don’t have a sense of direction and misremebered some of the forest roads. The boys don’t complain, though, they love going for really long walks.

Dan vajbar korrekt. Jag är expert på båda.

Fantasykanalens intervju med mig från bokmässan! Blev ett kul samtal tycker jag. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xqux...
