Well... Jag var sur på S som några år tidigare formulerat målet att sjuktalet skulle ner till 9,0, vilket ledde fram till en kraftig åtstramning i sjukförsäkringen. Detta genom ett regleringsbrev till FK, vilket innebar att regeringen rundade riksdagen. Samma sak skedde inom personlig assistans.

Life hack, or should I say line hack? When the line is 150 meters long, and you see scores of people walking towards that line to add to its length, you can just run past all of them! You can't move past anyone in front of you once you're IN it, but you CAN run past everyone walking TOWARDS it!

There is a LOT of incompetent evil that simply acquires power via dominance and violating moral norms and taboos which takes little skill of any kind. See below:

Sometimes Spock runs down into the cellar and then he can't get up again, bc the stairs, apparently, are much harder in that direction. Though he doesn't need anyone to CARRY him up, it's sufficient that one of us go down and stand beside him and WATCH HIM go back up.

In discussions of psychiatry, these two false dichotomies tend to pop up: First-order: Either psychiatry is BUNK and the pills are POISON, or it's a SOLID SCIENCE and your DOCTOR KNOWS BEST. Meta: Either the above dichotomy, or extreme relativism, anything goes, it's all just opinons maaan!

Inte orimligt att säga att en viss grupp "avgjorde valet" om gruppen ifråga hade oväntat högt valdeltagande i år. Men sjukt att se högt valdeltagande som PROBLEMATISKT. Vi vet redan vad regeringen tycker om demonstrationer och aktivism mot sin politik. Nu klagar de OCKSÅ på folk som RÖSTAR mot den.

Political nail biting will continue for some time to come. Here are some dogs who don't care about politics.
Our three dogs looking at the camera, from left to right: Spock, a black German Spitz, Laban, a white Bichon Havanaise (with his fur cut short), and Kirk, a yellow Tibetan Spaniel. They're standing in front of a small body of water, and the sun is low.

Long queue but I've finally voted. Now for some art.
A drawing in ink and crayon. In the middle is the face of a woman with brown skin and black, wavy hair. A large white rabbit holds her head between his claws. Behind her is a spherical space ship with four heat radiators sticking out. The background is black with stars, and white starfish towards the bottom.

I read a Swedish article distinguishing two senses of triangulation: 1. Appropriate your opponents terminology but continue as before. Swedish right-wing party Moderaterna said they're "the new working-class party" in 2003 (bc allegedly they support hard-working people, not moochers). Success! (1/3)

Ibland frågar folk mig om det kommer en ljudboksversion av Kugghjulssjälar nån gång. Ännu ingen planerad från förlaget, MEN: För alla funkisar med Legimus-konto finns nu en Legimus-producerad ljudbok, inläst av skådespelerskan Åsa Ekberg!

På bokmässan förra året sa jag till en massa människor att uppföljaren till Kugghjulssjälar nog skulle bli klar i tid till bokmässan 2026. Det var överoptimistiskt. HAVSHIMLAVÄGAR har större omfång, fler rörliga delar att foga ihop, och allt tog längre tid. Men i mars nästa år så kommer den!

There's a medical conspiracy theory that cancer is all about lifestyle - in dogs too. Kibble->cancer. "Natural" food -> no cancer. We KNOW different dog breeds have vastly different cancer rates. This implies that different breeds are fed different diets - even when they're all family pets!

We have 3 dogs. I dreamt we had 8. I said: "Implausible! We don't have the time and money to walk and feed all these dogs. Some of them must be dreamt!" Alexander agreed ... BUT "How do we know which ones are real?" Seemed like a big problem to us, but it got automatically sorted when I woke up.

Alltså, jag har skrivit en bok om migration – men ärligt talat: Sverige har den lägsta asylrelaterade invandringen på 40 år. Varför valde inte SVT Agenda sjukvården som avslutande debattämne istället, när deras egna mätningar visar att väljarna tycker att den är dubbelt så viktig?
En lista över väljarnas viktiga frågor.
1. Sjukvården
2. Skolan
3. Lag, ordning
4. Äldreomsorg
5. Miljö, klimat
6. Landets ekonomi
7. Invandring
8. Försvaret
9. Energipolitik

It's this false dichotomy: "Either we live in a perfect meritocracy, or people from privileged backgrounds are just handed jobs without putting any effort in. I know that people aren't just handed jobs with zero effort, so therefore, it must be a perfect meritocracy instead."

Det Nya Köttet får 4/5 hos BTJ: "Istid möter stenålder när ett folk på nomaders vis flyttar i takt med fiskens, isens och gudarnas rörelser. Folket förföljs av en makaber köttklump, vilken snart utvecklar fingerben, vassa tänder och en målinriktad aptit på människokött."
Omslagsbild för Det Nya Köttet: Titeln i rosa, sen lite grågrönblå sten, hällristningar och skuggan av två händer. En fyra i mitten.

Happy Gotcha Day, Laban! It's one year today since he moved in with us.
Two pictures side by side of our white Bichon Havanaise dog Laban. In the first pic, he's got long hair on his head and ears, with a scrungie holding it back from his eyes. He's sitting in Alexander's lap, while Alexander is trying to read a magazine. In the second picture, he's hair is cut short and he rather resembles a little terrier.

Köttkonsumtion i Sverige över tid. I den tid som ”förbjud vegetarisk skolmat”-gänget vill tillbaka till var den alltså väsentligt LÄGRE än idag. Så … visst …. why not … låt oss återvända till den tiden när det gäller kött, i skolmatsalen och i övrigt.

We watched del Toro's Pan's Labyrinth. It's a very dark fantasy story, so not everyone's cup of tea, but it's AMAZING. The villain is a fascist. Not a fantasy counterpart, not a generic bad guy with sorta fascist aesthetics, but an actual human fascist in 1944 Spain doing actually evil things.

Once upon a time, there were many search engines around: Yahoo, Google, many others that has since disappeared (I vaguely remember Mother). Then, Google became so dominant that "googling" became a verb. Now, Google has driven enough people away that we're once again comparing search engines!

www.cambridge.org/core/journal... Important piece by @awaisaftab.bsky.social . Whether it's better to stay on one's meds or come off them is a complex and value-laden question. Psychiatry must acknowledge this instead of labeling every desire to quit as "lack of insight" and force compliance.

Gonna make a brief OBSESSION thread re the common interpretation, that it's about magic abuse by a Nice Guy (tm) Villain. I suspect the script went through several iterations, one of which was "Nice Guy (tm) uses evil magic to get girlfriend". But that's not the movie we got. SPOILERS AHEAD: (1/7)

"Obsession" looks like a horror remake of a 1980s comedy that was promoted as some light, silly fun at the time and then "aged badly" and became "problematic" in hindsight. Didn't expect this much outright magic and demons but it was entertaining.

Det Nya Köttet släpps officiellt i morgon, men jag har redan mina författar-ex. Fristående föregångare till Kugghjulssjälar, utspelar sig c:a 10 000 år innan romanen. Vill ni ha ett signerat ex på posten så skicka meddelande med er adress och swisha 65 spänn. (250 kr för både roman och novell!)
Omslaget på min novell Det Nya Köttet. Titeln står i rosa över en stenhäll som skiftar i grönblått. Man ser två skuggiga händer närma sig en hällristning, av en människa som håller ett spjut mot något runt och oformligt.
