Jeg har forresten sagt lenge nå at Danby Choi er en norsk, mer vellykket, smartere versjon av Milo Yiannopoulos, for de av dere som fortsatt husker ham. Den plutselige dragningen mot religion er i så måte en spennende utvikling.

Avsløringer i lekket dokument: - Ubehagelig Gunhild Stordalen ville vise verden hvordan man kunne spise sunnere og redde planeten. Så smalt det.

Les hele denne artikkelen og fortell meg så om du var en av dem som kjøpte kjøttlobbyens desinformasjonskampanje

Heia Gunhild:
"Jeg har blitt mer kompromissløs i verdiene, men mer kompromissvillig i samarbeid. For framtida bygges ikke av én sektor, én stemme eller én løsning – men av mange, sammen"

Publishers Marketplace deal report in the classic blue red and white. Co-author of THE BRIGHT AGES David M. Perry's untitled history of masculinity from the Stone Age to today, showing how prevailing ideals of manliness have in fact always been bad for men too, to Eric Schmidt at Basic, by William Callahan at Inkwell Management (world).

Some personal news. I'm writing a history of the goddamn patriarchy.

I remember that! I briefly returned to tumblr to dive into the Dracula Daily tag when it first started making the rounds in '22 or '23 and found it all delightful. I still have a big folder of screenshotted Dracula memes I enjoyed. It's invigorating to see people engaging with classic literature.

Viser til skoleforskning som ikke finnes: – Det er helt vilt Flere av forskningskildene i forslaget til ny skolestruktur i Tromsø eksisterer ikke. –⁠ Her lurer man rett og slett folk, sier en professor som er sitert på en bok han aldri har gitt ut.

Sånn skal journalister gjøre!

Undersøke de politiske kildegrunnlagene nøye.

iTromsø gjennomgikk kildene som står oppført i kildelisten i dokumentet «Kunnskapsgrunnlaget», som danner grunnlaget for forslaget til ny skolestruktur i Tromsø.

Oh, the irony!

Oh wow, that is a lot. When I was writing it, I never thought there would be an audience beyond my supervisor and graders. How did anyone even come across it?? But it makes me so happy to see people reading and engaging with and appreciating my work. Thank you for telling me.

Wait really, it's one of your favorites? Thank you!

Goal of the protagonist in:
French novel: "to fall in love"
British novel: "to get married"
Russian novel: "to become a great man"
American novel: "to kill that fuckin' whale, man. I want that GOD DAMN whale to die. FUCK, I hate whales so much!!"

Martial law declared in South Korea 40 minutes ago. It can be lifted by a majority vote in the national assembly, but they are blocking the building with police buses.

Veldig takknemlig for at så mange av vennene og slekta er skikkelig nerdete, så kan jeg bare legge inn én enorm bestilling fra Norli før jul pluss litt plukk her og der.

It wouldn't fix the systemic issues but I would feel a lot better afterwards

Frankenstein is the story of a STEM dad whose son majors in the humanities

Vi står sammen med Bærum i denne tøffe tiden 🕯

Det er i grunnen noe veldig frigjørende med å skrive et sint svar på en teit kommentar og så bare slette den uten å publisere. Konsekvensfritt utløp for følelser.

Blown away by the panel on demonic politics on #DevilsAndJustifiedSinners-- what a fantastic series of presentations! My TBR has grown quite a lot already and I can't wait to see it expand more.

Had a great morning workshop with the #DevilsAndJustifiedSinners conference, creating fictional hellscapes to kick off the first of 2 days.

The conference is run by @romgothsam.bsky.social and marks the 200yr anniversary of James Hogg's novel, Confessions of a Justified Sinner.

Amazing! I envy you the experience.

having a huge argument with dracula through the sliding glass door about whether or not he needs my invitation if he's just going to hang out on the patio

Picture of a screen showing the text of Richard Marsh's 1897 The Beetle: A Mystery. The text reads: "Come, I see that you suppose my intentions to be harsher than they really are--do not let us have a scandal, and a scene--be sensible!--give me those letters!" Again he moved in my direction; again, after he had taken a step or two, to stumble and stop, and look about him with frightened eyes; again to begin to munble to himself aloud. "It's a conjurer's trick!--Of course!--Nothing more--What else could it be?--I'm not to be fooled.--I'm older than I was. I've been overdoing it--that's all." Suddenly he broke into cries. "Matthews! Matthews!--Help! help!" (A description of Matthews plus three other men entering the room carrying makeshift weapons.) Their master spurred them on. "Strike the revolver out of his hand, Matthews!--knock him down!--take the letters from him!--don't be afraid!--I'm not afraid!"

I wish the universe would let me revoke the em-dash privileges of certain novelists. Even and especially those who have been dead since 1915. It would do wonders for my mental health, I think

I cut my own hair yesterday and based on the looks I'm getting it must either look really weird or really good and I genuinely can't tell which one it is

Expectations: okay today I'm gonna write like at least a page or two

Reality: spent so long editing two paragraphs I got a headache

Only got two sentences into a paragraph before realizing I need a more sources to make my claim. Off to JSTOR it is

Aasland om klimaavtalen: – Endrer ingenting for Norge Verdens land har blitt enige om å omstille seg vekk fra fossile brensler. Men det vil ikke bety at Norge skal endre egen olje- og gasspolitikk.

Norway oil and gas minister on the #COP28 decision: "Nothing changes for Norway"

A new analysis came out today showing Norway is going to spend far more than expected on opening up new oil and gas fields......

as someone tweeted awhile ago, i am once again reminded how much of writing is just reading a lot, and pissed off about it

A screenshot of the Norwegian version of Spotify Wrapped. It conveys my thanks to Frédéric Chopin for being my favorite artist this year.

Very disappointed I didn't get an artist's greeting from my top artist this year. I think Spotify should have made it happen somehow

Leger Uten Grenser: To leger drept i angrep på sykehus «Husk oss», skrev den ene legen på en tavle før han ble drept. Han visste at han risikerte livet ved å bli igjen for å ta vare på pasientene på sykehuset.

Faen. Faen i helvete. «Who ever stays until the end, will tell the story, we did what we could, remember us».

I should be writing my thesis but no, what I'm doing instead is I'm frantically hunting down correspondence from more than a century ago. What's wrong with me

In TX, school district questions whether "Oklahoma!" is appropriate for high school students, an absurd position being used to mask their transphobic decision to remove trans male student from the role of Ali Hakim. Please read and share. Cc @charlotteclymer.bsky.social @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com

Been struggling with thesis writing for a couple weeks now. Apparently the trick was to lie awake all night long, because I had a very sudden epiphany at 4 am and now I'm all fired up to get working again. So it goes. I'll ride the high while it lasts.

Beautiful.
