This photo of Robert Bloch is the most writer photo to have ever writer photo’d. It is Pure Writer Photo.

Premee Mohamed is great. Haven’t read the others—will have to check them out!

Australia is high on the list of places I’d love to visit as well!

Just learned a great idiomatic Icelandic phrase. If everything is in chaos, going haywire, in disarray etc, you can say everything is on its hind legs (allt á afturfótunum). That made me laugh.

We are about a month away from Iceland Noir 2025. Excited for this!

Winter is fun. Saw a few partially frozen waterfalls and, in Reykjavík, Tjörnin was frozen and people were ice skating. Will be back in November this year!

I was there once in September and the wind and rain were quite something. Also fun to see in November, when a lot of it is frozen:

One of my favorite places.

Það er erfitt. Kannski:

1. Seven Samurai
2. Evil Dead 2
3. The Philadelphia Story

Blind Guardian and Ensiferum, you say? I’m in! #Metal

Yeah. It doesn’t make much sense for either side to be comfortable with district court rulings. Ultimately, I expect SCOTUS to weigh in if Congress doesn’t amend the law to address this, which seems unlikely.

Yeah. For training they may feel more comfortable based on the recent Fair Use ruling for Anthropic, but that doesn’t get to infringing output, which they should clearly be liable for.

Það er allt í lagi. Ég þarf orku!

Ostóber hljómar vel fyrir mig en ég kem í nóvember 😐️

You can go up into the new one. The last set of stairs to the top are quite steep!

Mjög falleg mynd!

I believe it. Can't imagine how frustrating that must be.

Unfortunately a story seen too often in the history of science.

This is Cecilia Payne. She determined, as a doctoral student, that the sun was mostly H and He. Her advisor, Henry Russell, believed that the sun was obviously made from the same materials as the earth. He made her add a disclaimer to her thesis stating that she was almost certainly wrong. Later, when Russell realized she was right, he published his own paper. He credited her prior work but received scientific credit for the discovery himself for 40 years, until Payne was finally recognized.

Dr Cecilia Payne. Important to Physics but didn't receive recognition for many years because she was a woman.

Good idea. I'll do that!

I think I captured it all in the reply.

That's a good point. I can't edit this but maybe I can put it in a reply?

Proposal to explore constitutional protection for the Icelandic language The Icelandic Language Council has proposed that authorities examine whether there is a need to enshrine protection for the Icelandic language in the country’s constitution. The council also recommend...

From an outside perspective, I think it makes sense to protect the language, given how strongly it is tied to the history and culture of Iceland and how small the population is. #Iceland #Icelandic

It's hard to know anything for certain prior to the Seneca Falls event horizon (1848).

I drove from there to Siglufjörður, which was a beautiful drive and I loved that little town as well!

Was at that church in April. Very cool.
