For hvad det er værd, har jeg studeret dansk i et par år. Hvorfor? Det ved jeg ikke. Current preoccupations: go (tsumego), Jean Shepherd, Fela Kuti, trying to read Isak Dinesen in Danish.

French ‘est’ and ‘ouest’ look a lot like ‘east’ and ‘west’. That’s because they were borrowed from Old English, along with other nautical terms, which points to naval contacts. French passed on the words for the wind directions to the other Romance languages. My new graphic tells you more: 1/

Watching Billy Wilder's Love in the Afternoon at the moment. Boy this hasn't aged well. A romance between Gary Cooper and Audrey Hepburn. What an embarassment. Thought to myself, look at that old bastard. Then I realized that I'm older right now in 2025 than Cooper was in 1957.

I think one way to think about the Trump campaign’s doubling down on open fascism, especially after the F-word broke through to mainstream discourse with Kelly and Milley, is that they’re looking for a mandate. If they win, they’ll say: “we told everyone what we’d do, so now we’ll do it”.

Elon Musk regularly promotes accounts that push phony race science. He uses X to pay money to neo-Nazis. He lies about Black and Brown immigrants. He positively engages with antisemites. Musk is a white supremacist who whines and fearmongers while continuing to accept millions in taxpayer dollars.
