So, I *am* watching tonight, but this article really reflects a lot of the feelings I have about tonight's contest. I didn't go out to Vienna because I felt like my money would be better spent elsewhere. And I'm glad folks out there seem to be having a great time!

You know I love a Carl Linnaeus statue.

På tåget!

Jag blir förvånad över att upptäcka att jag är nostalgisk över den tid vi bodde i Älmhult.

I thought my distaste for this song was only aesthetic but I’m excited to find out I can add a moral outrage angle as well! Kars4Kids are dishonest as well as a plague on AM radio sports broadcasts!

My favorite cycle path in town. I love to bike through here in good weather.

The office cafeteria is decorated for Eurovision today. Some of the cafeteria staff are wearing ultra glittery clothes with feather boas: not the ones serving food thankfully. “Nej tack” to glitter in my burger.

25 years ago today Douglas Noel Adams passed away in Santa Barbara California. On every May 11th since Jess and I have gone to the pub at noon and ordered six pints in remembrance. We're getting ready to head out again this morning. Peanuts for salt and protein. We know where our towels are.

It's the trombones (1931)

— Fashion is a feminine coded interest and thus considered frivolous, whereas masculine-coded interests, such as architecture, are considered "serious." Doesn't matter if a tremendous amount of skilled labor or creativity went into making something, such as the handmade lace or shoulder line below.

A salad of untenable complexity

The news is out! YIMBY Action is making an official endorsement in the race for CA Governor for... 🥁 @tomsteyerhq.bsky.social! His range of housing policies set him apart. Steyer has committed to eliminating single-family zoning statewide, expanding by-right approvals and upzoning around transit.

Food I enjoyed in Spain and Portugal.

Is it actually going to be linen shirt, weather today? No. Was it linen shirt weather yesterday? Yes. What will I be wearing today? Yes. Linen shirt.

“This is the only story of mine whose moral I know,” writes Kurt Vonnegut at the beginning of his 1962 novel Mother Night. “I don’t think it’s a marvelous moral; I simply happen to know what it is: We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.”

Like a blind bug that can only live in a cave, there’s a species of advertising that only lives in airports. Here we have Jude Law reclining sexily on a conference room table with the motto “Law never looked this good” to showcase Legora, an AI legal company I bet I will never hear of again.

No one loves texting me to let me know I’m in a new country like the cell phone company does.

The real winners of the Kentucky derby were the Botai hunters (c. 3700–3100 BC) for domesticating horses and bringing glory to KAZAKHSTAN

In Porto last night, a bunch of kids were walking around in these capes. I asked one what the significance was and he said “Academic tradition”. I thanked him and then he asked, “Do you want a photo?”

I’m glad that out in Sweden I can still be a part of “Did you feel it?” Social Media.

Igår promenerade jag runt i Malmö och jag kunde inte sluta tänka, “all these trees are just shamelessly posting on main!”

jag känner mig lyckligt lottad

My goal today is to sweat in the sauna, swim in the sea, and then sit in the sun and read really trashy comic books in Swedish.

All of a sudden, for some reason, he’s in Sweden? No matter how much they try to retcon it, it’s clear the writers never planned that.

Let’s go!!!!!!

I quit being a professional photographer 4yrs ago when I moved to Sweden. I’m letting my website lapse so now are the last few days www.erichvalo.com will show my portfolio.
