Met a jaunty snowman yesterday.

happy(?) new year everyone, for my first piece of 2026 I wrote about Grok's *still*-ongoing CSAM blitz and the troubling, embarrassing silence of lawmakers in the U.S. and U.K. who've spent the past year censoring the internet for the sake of "child safety" yet are saying and doing nothing about X:

Lund domyrka i snoan

Wading through the discourse and keep stumbling like this-

Here’s me and The 13 Year Old in front of the Malmö opera house. Since I try not share photos of my kids on the internet I covered her face with a sword and crown emoji to represent Macbeth being seduced by the idea of power.

“Ena stunden spelar han med fjäderlätt elegans och studsar fram över scenen i tajts och ballongbyxor. I nästa stund är han som ett sprakande kraftfält. Få kan lika sömlöst växla mellan intensitet och lätthet” Håller med Det är dags för teater om galna autokrater www.sydsvenskan.se/kultur/fredr...

I’m so done with people adopting cynicism as a substitute for wisdom. I’ll take angry, informed and striving for change, over that lazy cynical fatalism that seems so popular in the face of US imperialism.

I went to Venezuela as a tourist in 2005 to watch the Caribbean World Seriesl. All the Venezuelans were so nice and it’s disgusting what’s happening to them.

8:10 AM I love the inky twilight and the warm glow of the windows. I had hoped this view would deliver many sunsets but what I will recall miss is this little gingerbread village whenever it snows.

Okay so maybe there were some important adults in the room in the first administration

They genuinely cannot distinguish between “this sounds based and gets us a lot of retweets from our neo-Nazi fan base” and “this is in reality a good idea.” They are pursuing lunatic authoritarian policies because the reward centers in their brain are tuned to social media likes and nothing else.

Characteristic of this administration. They’re mimicking villains on TV. Miller wants to be Goebbels but skipped the years of party-building and maneuvering that made Goebbels possible. Trump wants to ape Bush and seize foreign oil (he assumes this is what Iraq was about) but is skipping to the end.

In our name, with our money, ostensibly for oil, but mostly because we have a president who's addicted to power and attention and needs to deflect from being friends with the world’s most famous pedophile. Shame on these fucking monsters who run my country. They need out.

Gott nytt år från Sverige! Nu är vi i framtiden! 2026!

Dec 31st - While the scientists working on it had a new years eve party, the in-production law enforcement cyborg "Robocop" woke up. 📽️📅 RoboCop (1987)

Me: It’s unfair that I have this insomnia. Also me: How many sleep hygiene rules did you break today? Me: Hmm… late afternoon coffee, evening cocktails, no exercise, screen time before bedtime, phone by the bed… so that’s five. Six if you count not using the light therapy lamp. Me: Pretty unfair.

Here’s me and The 13 Year Old in front of the Malmö opera house. Since I try not share photos of my kids on the internet I covered her face with a sword and crown emoji to represent Macbeth being seduced by the idea of power.

So now I’ve gone to see Macbeth performed in Swedish twice this year. This was a one man play that was dramatic & humorous with plenty of broken 4th walls. I went in with my doubts but was pleasantly surprised. The 13yr Old said it was awesome & clearly understood more of the dialogue than I did.

YouTube offers time limits for kids accounts but you can only limit YouTube Shorts not regular YouTube. Feel like they might not have our best interests as a priority.

Hell yeah, their annual Crawdad Festival fucking rules

I’m from Whoville, and I say kill the Grinch!

We got Scarlet Morning by @gingerhaze.bsky.social for the youngest daughter. Happy bookmas!

When we moved to this apartment, with a great view of the western sky, I thought we would have a lot of great sunsets but over the years there haven’t been that many. (I blame Denmark.) Tonight however was a nice sunset.

Hund promenad i morse. God jul till alla!

I went grocery shopping on Christmas Eve but shook my head the whole time so everyone knew I was disappointed with my lack of planning.

God jul #drinkklubben! Vodka, tranbär, lime, Cointreau.

Katten kopplade ur TV:n precis när Siw tände ljuset.

I’m not ready to put my blood, sweat and tears into anything: let’s just pick two. Blood and sweat Blood and tears Or Sweat and tears All three seems excessive.

Waiting for godot julot

God morgon och god jul från Lund.

Tonight is the penultimate Julkalendern!!! www.svtplay.se/julkalendern...

Murphy is shot in palm of his hand (stigmata). Dies and is reborn as Robocop. Robocop walks on water in the final act and is also speared in the ribs; just like Christ was while on the cross. It’s not a stretch to say Robocop is American Jesus.

Euro gelt of the last night of Chanukah!

This is starting to make the rounds, but I checked Andrew Tate’s feed and replies on X and did not see the post shown. There’s a high probability it is fake.

Jag brygger fint kaffe till mig och mina kollegor.

The 10 Yr Old, listening to an audiobook, playing Minecraft, next to the Christmas tree.

glad vintersolstånd!!!

There was an hour of sunshine today. I rode my bike in it. My heart is racing just remembering it.

ÄÅÖ finns precis här

To all the young people in New York and across our country who count on gender-affirming care: I won't let this administration come for you, your doctors, or your lifesaving health care.  Your health care is still legal and protected.  I'll always fight for you.

“Less than an hour of sunlight this month” This is the kind of headline you see in the prologue of a post apocalyptic dystopia movie. www.svt.se/nyheter/loka...

I took 5 minutes to send this message to the senators from CA “Do not let this bill pass criminalizing gender affirming care for minors. Do not join the authoritarians in vilifying a minority group in our community.” I hope they listen. @schiff.senate.gov @padilla.senate.gov

Trying new traditions! Gingerbread cookies with blue cheese and pear slices, a Swedish favorite.

Sunrise at 8:30am, sunset at 3:35pm and in between this is the strongest the daylight gets. I don’t man, why aren’t you feeling at the top of your mental health game? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
