The nice thing about getting older is you realise that, actually, you don’t always have to put up with bull sh*t administrative processes. And you can call it what it is. Maybe even eliminate or transform it into something better.

Alfred (4) has a few specific songs he likes listening to. - Magic School Bus theme song - Thomas the Tank Engine theme song - Numberblocks (all) and... - Red Hot Chile Peppers (all) It is weird! But, is is also less annoying when he asks for, e.g., Scar Tissue than one of the Numberblocks songs😆

Every day, my four year old tries to sneak rocks into the house in his pockets. He knows he is not supposed to take in more because he has such a large collection already. He is like a treasure-hoarding dragon, but with rocks. Gray rocks that all look basically the same. Why, little guy, Why?! 🤣

I want to do interesting career things. But, these tend to be stressful and impinge on my private life and health. So, I think this might be a season for less-interesting-but-also-less-stressful career things. At least for a while -- until my health is better and my kids are bigger.

I guess I will just keep doing tasks and learning about topics that will be better done/analysed by AI very soon because it’s fun and what else am I gonna do? Anyway, let’s make UBI happen now. Seems better than the predictably bloody revolution that will end with it anyway.

Excerpt from an email I sent today (translated from Norwegian): “I can't think of any other institution, public or private, that would prefer having a committee to review an official doctor’s note and sensitive personal information instead of simply accepting a late payment, perhaps with a fee.”

Most Norweigans seem think the "Fall" starts on September 1 and it drives me bananas. No! Fall starts on September 21, or whenever the Equinox is that year. I will die on this hill.

I really miss pre-Musk, pre-bot-cesspool Tech Twitter. Even without the racism, misogyny, bots (although they are clearly here too, just less aggressively) etc., Bluesky today just ain't it :/ Does it exist anywhere? Or was that community a truly unique and non-reproduceable point in history?

The year is 2027. Gas costs $12/gallon. Trump decided to start draining the Great Lakes to pump the water to the Southwest, resulting in the end of all trade and diplomatic ties with Canada. Fertiliser and labour shortages from the previous growing season mean most food costs 2-3x 2026 prices

When first reading about Natalie Harp, I had empathy for her -- after all, a lot of women do ridiculous identity contortions in our early 20's to impress some (older) guy. Then I learned she is 35. And, ok, now I understand the hullabaloo.

If you pass someone in the hall and they casually invite you to a lunch thing starting in a few minutes (eat lunch and talk about sci fi!), you can say: "I'm busy but thanks!" Or, "Sounds fun, I will come!" You should not say: "No" said in a tone dripping with condescension and then stride away.

The problem with using AI to edit a draft is that I still don't really know if my argument makes sense or not. I am pretty sure it just calls everything "brilliant". I mean, obviously my thoughts make sense to ME. But I really still need a human to read and confirm I am not delusional.

New obsession: sea water electrolysis. Take a wind turbine, put it in the ocean, use the power to generate a current in the water nearby to change the pH. From this you can collect calcium carbonate (limestone, very useful for concrete), Green hydrogen and desalinated water, never mind grid energy

Got excited to discover libro.fm since I wanted some audio books not on my Norwegian audiobook app (Storytel). But I wanted to avoid Audible/Amazon. It also supports local bookstores so win-win-win. So I signed up and… the servers are all down? Do I have the worst timing or is this a regular thing?

So I was right about the planned attacks and their predicted response. Thank goodness for TACO, I guess?

Sarah 🇳🇴🇺🇦🧪💙 @sarahf.bsky.social · 01/08/2026

This means the US is about to launch a major attack on Iran and they expect retaliation in these places. If they are urging civilians to leave, it likely means they have planned many civilian infrastructure targets in Iran, since Iran reliably responds in kind to the types of attacks it receive 😔

Whenever I get vaguely annoyed about EU regulations and daydream about moving back to the US, I almost immediately get reminded that I would live my life in a blinding rage if I did. I think I will go eat some salad now.

Carbon must be taxe directly and heavily so that the cost of goods includes the true externalized cost. That revenue should be used for building new (fire-resistant) homes for the 250,000 climate refugees we now have in Europe. Removing the subsidies will also make bio-based alternatives cheaper.

In 7th and 8th grade, I had an English teacher that required us to read… 400(?) pages of whatever we wanted per month. Could be 1 long book, 4 short books, whatever, as long as we were reading. (This was in addition to the usual assigned reading). 1/

“Ministerial” is an adjective, right? Did they want a Department but didn’t have Congress behind it, and thought “Ministry“ sounded too British? So they decided to invent a new word?
