The erstwhile Liberal party in Sweden, who have up to now refused to sit in a government with the fascist party, seems to have folded in exchange for a referendum on adopting the Euro.

Getting flashbacks to the Lib Dems in the UK.

If you see a very large trampoline up ahead, hold on to your seats.

I really wouldn't wish that on my friends, or anyone who haven't dismissed panic attacks.

Since the right generally likes to conflate wealth with brilliance, it makes sense for them to begin selling officer's commissions like the British Empire did.

"Seven-star Overgeneralissimo Musk" has a certain horrifying ring to it.

1983, as you remember a world before the end of history.

Jag tror de inte "tycker" att det Γ€r en skillnad mellan fakta och Γ₯sikt.

De har ett snedvridet jΓ€mlikhetsargument, att "alla har rΓ€tt till en Γ₯sikt", och att Γ₯sikter inte gΓ₯r motbevisa annat Γ€n med "jag tycker du tycker fel".

Fakta ges inte hΓΆgre vΓ€rde Γ€n tyckande.

Winter is when the average temperature stays below 0Β°C.

Summer is when the average temperature stays above 10Β°C.

In between is spring or autumn.

Southern UK rarely experiences winter.

If it wasn't for numerous cases of LLMs encouraging and reinforcing destructive (up to and including murder/suicide) behaviours of be more inclined to agree.

Heh. Was doing a big customer installation in Macclesfield in early noughties. We went to pub an evening and played pool. Locals muttering loudly about SSBs hogging the table. One of them put a coin on to challenge winner. Me.

Colleague took me aside, told me to lose, & not call them southerners.

Thanks for the warning, it's much appreciated.

Is it a horror horror like The Twisted Ones or horroresque like the Sworn Soldier series?

(In the latter I can see why some would be creeped out, but I largely find them curious rather than horrifying.)

The first result from Google is an AI summary generated by Gemini. Many if not most of the top results are AI-generated slop pages.

Just a reminder that Sweden will be testing the national warning sirens at 3pm today. It does not mean we are under attack!

The quality of the long pork will be abysmal if the source of it hasn't been eating well or at all.

That's a good point, but I think the Corbyn surge showed the value of presenting (rather than identifying) as a working class oriented party.

Plus, those are the voters Labour feels entitled to, which they assume will vote for them regardless of what they do while chasing professional middle class.

I think it is also a matter of identity politics, in the sense that the old "We are a working class party" identity meets the now commonly accepted wisdom (regardless of truthiness) "Working class people are xenophobic".

And instead of challenging that and educating voters, they embrace that idea.

Went for a run, first since early November. 3km, very slow, very hard going. But going I went, running all the way, so I'm still happy with that.

Mostly clear on sidewalks and pedestrian paths, with only a few patches of snow left.

For a while, @jenniegyllblad.bsky.social had to spend most of her time fighting payment processors.

I don't understand why they hit themselves in the face with a hammer. They sound like the kind of person lots of people would like to hit in the face with a hammer.

Given the cod wars between Iceland and UK, Brexit probably will have a large influence on a 'yes' from Iceland if it happens.
