And another MeFi post today, this one to celebrate International De La Day. Few people have made me as happy consistently across the last three decades of my life like Posdnuos, Maseo and Trugoy the Dove (rip).

Wolves couldn’t … could they?

Why the World Cup? Golden Goal is a magazine about that question goldengoal.world/2026/02/22/e...

Iceland is a *type* of waterland 😊

When I retire from public life to read books it’s selfish but when Montaigne does it he’s just inventing the concept of the self.

I‘ve been really enjoying this wholesome conspiracy theory, a rare joy in life, knowing that before long it will turn deeply depressing and horrific.

There are few people in the world who’ve made me as happy across the last thirty years as Posdnuos, Maseo and Trugoy the Dove (rest in peace).

I made a post to MetaFilter about two recently uncovered photos of Charles Baudelaire’s long-time romantic partner, Jeanne Duval, who he wrote the “Black Venus” poem cycle about.

…or are they of her? A comment explains that there’s a dispute about who they depict.

I have seen a lot of cursed stuff in my time in academia but this is among the *most* cursed.
Grammarly is generating miniature LLMs based on academic work so that users can have their writing ‘reviewed’ by experts like David Abulafia, who died less than two months ago.

you’re clearly in a lovecraftian tale and you will not rest until you‘ve seen it

what happens after that, only you will know, because you will not be able to communicate your experience to any human being, a species you won’t belong to anymore, not truly

Hann er ekki í skjölunum

“how to be eaten first: finding success in the age of the elder gods”

Does that make a beef wellington a sandwich?

That happened to a professor at an Icelandic college this winter. An article she cowrote was assessed as being not her work by an AI and the college accused her of passing it off as her own. The president of the college had to resign because of it.

Mjög áhugaverð saga þar sem forfaðir minn kemur fyrir sögu. Sýnir vel að jafnvel þegar nútímalegum lögregluaðferðum (á þeirra tíma mælikvarða) er beitt, er ekki auðvelt að leysa glæpi.

Jæja, hvað ætli sé langt þangað til helvíti fari á hausinn?

If Arsenal win the title, Raya should get the player of the season award, like Schmeichel in 1996. He’s been extraordinary.

Anyways I’m crying

That’s a really good comparison, though the one difference that leaps to mind is that mid-90s Serie A was the setting for a profound change in football tactics pioneered by Sacchi’s Milan, comparable to the one led by Michels‘ Ajax or Guardiola’s Barcelona. There’s been nothing like that recently.

Fannar! (hrós)

Mér varð flökurt við að horfa á þetta

A heavy, blast door, which is open. Through it there’s a path towards the playground.

Adults and kids in the bunker playground.

Another section of the bunker playground.

Yet another section of the playground.

there’s a nuclear bunker in central Helsinki which also doubles as kids’ playground, in case you ever want to know what it feels like to live in a post-apocalyptic world

I think it was kind of confusingly presented, I remember having to check to make sure.

Introduced in 2018 and expanded to all roads by 2020, Bilbao was the first European city of more than 300,000 inhabitants to adopt a universal 30 km/h speed limit. Several years on, the results suggest it has delivered broad benefits on safety, public health, travel efficiency, and quality of life.🧵

Isn’t this from the Treasure of the Wreck of the Unbelievable? If so, this is a contemporary piece.

Browsing residential projects in Iran on ArchDaily always turned up just delightful homes.
