After a rather disastrous experience with the first Indiana Jones movie I decided that the people who give movies age ratings generally know what they’re doing and mostly stick to that

in our watch-thru of the MCU my son and I got to Thor, and it’s nonsense, but it’s good nonsense, a step up from the Iron Man films one structural reason why it’s good is that it’s not an origin story, the screenwriters didn’t have to stick to a template, but could let characters drive the plot

people seem convinced that because they gave it to a white european guy last time they’re not going to give it to a white european guy again, but the key to happiness is finding a group of people who love you like the nobel committee love white european guys

Þegar ég vaknaði var bláhiminn fullur af tökulögum. Mig langar að vita: hver er uppáhalds íslenskunin ykkar á erlendu popplagi? Ég ætla byrja á einu gömlu, veit ekki hvort þetta er uppáhalds uppáhalds, en þetta kom fyrst upp í hugann. Eitt fyrsta lag til að vera bannað í útvarpi, sem er líka kúl.

I was about to start agreeing with you until Lukas Hrádecký saved the penalty that Belarus got.

It’s a good thing I don‘t believe in jinxes, because Belarus scored a goal ten seconds after the match started.

Finland are playing Belarus tonight, and I’m not going to get many more relevant opportunities to post this article I wrote for Golden Goal earlier this year about why it is that Belarus is terrible at soccer now (hint: the main reason is in the title).

Neibb, fluttu til Egilsstaða frá Akureyri skömmur eftir tvítugt. Börnin þeirra höfðu öll sest að á Egilsstöðum, og samkvæmt þeim þá vildu börnin hvergi annars staðar búa.

Ég var í partýi á Egilsstöðum í sumar þar sem hjón, aðflutt frá Akureyri nó less, töluðu lengi um það að Egilsstaðir væri yndislegast allra bæjarfélaga á landinu. Ástin er blind.

AI removes the fiction that we’re seeing something real and just makes the image seem like a lie. People like fiction, they don’t like lies.

Oboy. So, remember how I published a book with @neonhemlock.bsky.social in April called The Mystery of the Bitten Peach? I went ahead and registered the copyright. As you might imagine, the main reason I bothered to do that was *because* of the AI companies stealing copyrighted material.

Funnily enough I was talking with my son a couple of days ago about the various Cleopatras, after he queried why the famous one was listed as “Cleopatra VII”. I’m not a big fan of royalty, and lord knows the Ptolemies were a real life “aristocrats” joke, but at least the Cleopatras were interesting.

Jane Austen Fastest 147

How far ahead is Ronnie playing?
How deep into the century
Can he set up that shot?
Balls in their genius click together,
Barely even seem to touch -
Are we playing hearts? some idiot
Asks, and suddenly those two
Are married, that one is born,
And she's watching us watching
In the highrise across the way.
Did I get it right? she doesn't
Ask. How far into the future
And the past did I play?
All things right and wrong,
In between, have just happened.
Hair on the camera,
Unicorn neck,
Poor holy Mary singing.
Throw the story into the shoe
As it's thrown over the wall.
That's the secret of narrative.

Another lesson I took is that so much of it was contingent. Yes, slaver empires, like the colonial powers were, will find a justification for slavery, but the shape of racism came down to happenstance and idiosyncrasies. History could always have been different but we live the world the past created

prejudice is as mysterious and aggravating as watching a character in a horror movie decide to go alone into the crumbling old mansion. Seeing people whose own ethical teachings and scientific knowledge should’ve led them down a better path choose idiotic evil every time is absolutely infuriating.

I finished reading Andrew S. Curran’s The Race Makers today, and it was really eye opening read.

Given how hardcore Finland fans talk to me about what it’s like supporting the Eagle-Owls (one likened it to having a child who’s a heroin addict, no matter how much they seem to be improving, they find new ways to let you down) it probably would be better to spare her from that

Weirdly, if they‘d scored fewer goals, it would seem more impressive. If you score four, you’ve done well. But if it’s six or more, then the story is your opponent. For instance, the 7-1 is more a Brazilian trauma than a German triumph. Though that’s narrative logic rather than sporting logic.
